Incursean Invasion Arc

The Incursean Invasion Arc is the second story arc in Ben 10: Omniverse. It follows Ben's team as they try to stop the Incurseans from invading Earth.
==Background==
The Incurseans are a frog-like species from a planet that was accidentally destroyed by a warrior wielding Ascalon who was trying to unite the factions when the planet was at war. Since then, the Incurseans have been roaming space in spaceships conquering other planets.
==Omniverse==
===Tummy Trouble===
On the way to Peptos XI, Ben and Rook were attacked by the Incurseans. Ben wondered what they might be doing, and he turns into Big Chill to fight them. Ben and Rook, in the ensuing fight, crashed down to Peptos XI where they found the Gourmands fighting an army of Incurseans. Ben turned into Echo Echo and used his Wall of Sound attack to defeat the Incurseans.
The Murk Gourmand leader, Sergeant Cast Iron and Perk Gourmand leader, Sergeant Cookmeister, started arguing about what to do about their Queen who had been kidnapped by the Incurseans and whether they should execute Plan Omega or not. Cast Iron decided to take an army and rescue the Wueen with Ben agreeing, whereas Cookmeister decided to face the Incurseans head on with Rook agreeing. They went their separate ways with Ben and the Murk army invading the Incurseans' main ship where Attea held the Queen hostage. Meanwhile, Rook and the Perk army faced the Incurseans.
While the Perk army fought the Incurseans, Rook noticed a black tank rolling up and saw Ben as Kickin' Hawk aboard the Proto-TRUK with Attea tagging along. Ben transformed into Water Hazard and managed to defeat Attea while Rook destroyed an Incursean tank. The Murk and Perk armies, now united as their Queen was back, fought ruthlessly and forced the Incurseans to retreat. The Queen commanded the Gourmands to execute Plan Omega which was revealed to be eating up their own planet and then going to a new planet. 
Attea lied to Milleous, telling him that Peptos XI was destroyed on her orders so as to send a message to the entire galaxy. Milleous was happy at this and prepared for his other plans.
===Vilgax Must Croak===
In Vilgax Must Croak, the Incurseans planned to take over Vilgaxia, Vilgax's homeworld. Milleous sent Attea to capture Vilgax and execute him. Attea hired SixSix, SevenSeven and EightEight to help her. Meanwhile, Ben, Rook and the Alpha Squad were escorting Vilgax to Incarcecon, which had been emptied because of Vilgax. Their spaceship was attacked, and they crashed on Incarcecon. Ben started beating up Vilgax and accused him of foul play though Vilgax denied it.
Attea arrived with the mercenaries, and they started shooting lasers at Vilgax, Ben, Rook, Hobble and the rest of the Alpha squad. Ben and Vilgax teamed up and escaped from the Incurseans though they were still stranded on Incarcecon. Vilgax and Ben had a heated argument with each other which culminated with Attea and EightEight finding them and attacking them. Vilgax convinced Ben to release him from his shock manacles so that he could help to fight the Incurseans. However, Vilgax was quick enough to double-cross Ben and escaped through the chute, leaving Ben to deal with Attea and EightEight.
Ben escaped by using Terraspin and found Vilgax running frantically. He reactivated the shock manacles and Vilgax was now once again a prisoner. As they headed to the other rooms, they found Attea along with the mercenaries and she gloated about how the Plumbers were killed by her henchmen. However, Rook and the Alpha squad were safe and, together with Ben, started battling Attea. Attea decided to use a Techadon Dissipator to blow everyone away. When she fired it at Ben, Vilgax got in the way, saving Ben. Ben turned into Gravattack and defeated Attea. He reverted to human, glad that everything went okay.
Vilgax shocked Ben, revealing that his heroic act of saving him was a ruse so that he could become free from the shock manacles. When Ben woke up, he was informed by Max that Vilgax tried to steal the Omnitrix, but when he saw Attea and the mercenaries stirring, he fled from the scene. Ben was disappointed that he let Vilgax, Attea and the mercenaries get away, but Max tried to cheer him up. 
Attea contacted Milleous, who told her that because of her failed attempt at assassinating Vilgax, the people of Vilgaxia put up a fight and they had to flee. He warned Attea not to fail him again, at which Attea scowled.
===Rad===
Max informed Ben and Rook that Magister Arnux and his Plumber squad were stranded on Terminus III with their spaceship destroyed. Rook stated that Terminus III occupied the space territory of the Incurseans and has the most toxic atmosphere anywhere in the galaxy. Together Rook, Blukic, and Driba commented that there was only one cure for this toxic atmosphere - The fresh venom of a Gracklflint.
Later, in Undertown, Ben as Diamondhead, Rook, and a caged a Gracklflint, went to the Black Hole where they met Rad Dudesman, who would be escorting them to Terminus III. Rad had a well-known reputation and feared by many. The group boarded Rad's ship, the Lovely Duck, and were alerted by the alarm going off that there was an intruder. Ben turned into Ampfibian and located the intruder, Pax, who wanted to free the Gracklflint. It was revealed that Pax had freed the Gracklflint, much to the dismay of the group. The creature started thrashing around the ship but it didn't attack Pax. Angered, Ben turned into Eye Guy to search for the creature. Aboard the Incursean ship, an Incursean informed Raff about the Lovely Duck. However, Raff ordered him not to vaporize the ship, wanting to give a full report to Attea. Aboard the Lovely Duck, Ben managed to trap the Gracklflint by using Bloxx, but had to stop Rad from killing it, thereby leading to its escape.
Ben and Rad prepared to capture Gracklflint but Pax intervened. It was revealed that the reason why the Gracklflint was not attacking Pax was because it loves to eat Florauna's seeds. By this deduction, the group was finally able to capture the Gracklflint. However, Raff appeared on a transmission and demanded a search of the ship. Back at the captain's room, Rook revealed that the weapons were destroyed by the creature and the Incurseans were coming to search the ship. By turning into Grey Matter, Ben conversed with the Lovely Duck's AI, Pyxi. Pyxi revealed that the Lovely Duck wouldn't be able to face another standoff. The group then planned to fix the ship.
The Incurseans arrived and found Pax being himself at the cargo bay. Major Glorff took him and a large box to the Incursean ship. Major Glorff continued inspecting the ship and found Rad. He commented "It's only a duck" when Rad took out his weapons, causing the Incurseans to back off. Aboard the Incursean ship, Raff opened the large box and the Gracklflint was released, causing havoc on the ship. Ben and Rook succeeded in fixing the ship and releasing it from the Incursean's grip. Rad managed to drive the Incurseans off his ship. The group picked up Pax and moved on, but Pax demanded to know why they left the Gracklflint behind. Ben told him to wait for it.
Raff appeared on another transmission and, tired by the chaos, agreed that if the group took away the creature, he would leave them alone. Taking back the Gracklflint, the group arrived at Terminus III and rescued the Plumbers. The Plumbers were treated, and the group flew off, having completed the mission and having humiliated the Incurseans.
===While You Were Away===
On Revonnah, Young One flew a harvester, having gotten good at it. Rook Shar complained to Wat-Senn, the Plumber stationed on Revonnah, but he shrugged it off. Suddenly, Incursean ships arrived and nearly shot down Young One. 
Later, on Earth, Ben and Rook chased down an unknown harvester. They succeeded in crashing it and saw Young One coming out of the wreckage. Young One explained that Revonnah had been invaded and he came for their help as soon as the invasion started. The three of them headed to Revonnah to investigate. 
Back at Revonnah, Attea talked to Dr. Psychobos, who she has freed from prison so that he could help the Incurseans in taking over the galaxy. Dr. Psychobos said he needed all the Amber Ogia available for his research to which Attea agreed. 
In space, Ben, Rook and Young One headed to Revonnah and when they landed, they noticed that everything was a bit empty. They then met Rook's family and Rook Da invited them all to dinner, much to Ben's surprise. Rook Da started denying that anything strange was happening and the family showed a distaste for Galvans and started using contractions. Ben asked about the new pipeline that they found when they had landed and Rook Da said that it was for transporting Amber Ogia. Ben asked whether the Incurseans had invaded or not and the family, looking uneasy, denied the fact. Ben, having had enough, decided to search the planet with Rook and Young One.
When they went searching, they noticed a group of Revonnahganders nearby, who started attacking the group. Ben turned into Ball Weevil to escape. The group ran into Muroids but Rook told them not to worry as they are timid. Rook Shar and Wat-Senn said that they were not timid this time, revealing the Muroids to be disguises. Young One was happy to see his sister and told her that everyone had been acting strangely. Rook Shar agreed and said that they wanted to fight but they knew it would be a losing battle and so they hid underground. She also told them that they sprayed Amber Ogia on the residents and they stopped battling as if in a mind control.
The Incurseans had been harvesting a lot of Amber Ogia and Ben wondered what they were going to do with it. Meanwhile, more Amber Ogia was being delivered to Attea. She was excited that they had succeeded in controlling so many beings using the Ogia Concentrate that Dr. Psychobos made. Psychobos tried to attack Attea, but she easily subdued him, leading him to beg for mercy. 
Back in the caves, while scaring away some Muroids, Rook Shar and Watt were sprayed with Amber Ogia and came into the control of the Incurseans. They started attacking the group and Ben turned into Gravattack to trap them. Ben told Young One to stay with the two and he and Rook headed off to the place where the Amber Ogia was being extracted, where they met Attea. Rook used the phrase "And I use the term loosely" through which Ben deduced that this was Dr. Psychobos' doing. Psychobos arrived on a ship and started attacking the team. Ben turned into a new alien. Astrodactyl and used his powers to destroy the tubes containing Amber Ogia concentrate, leaving only one tube enact.
Rook, enraged by the way how Dr. Psychobos insulted his culture and people, dropped the last tube. However, there was still a little amount of Amber Ogia concentrate left. Attea grabbed it and fled on a ship with Dr. Psychobos. The Revonnahganders were free from the mind control and attacked the remaining Incurseans. Rook Da assured everyone that they could handle this one on their own and told Rook that Shar wanted to become a Plumber. Hailing Rook as a hero, the Revonnahganders bidded Ben and Rook farewell. Meanwhile, aboard an Incursean ship, Attea and Dr. Psychobos prepared for their final plan - on Earth.
===The Frogs of War: Part 1===
Ben was seen fiddling with his Omnitrix when, suddenly, aliens from Undertown started fleeing from Earth as they believed that the Incurseans were coming. Ben and Rook agreed that most likely Earth would be the next target of the Incurseans. Some more aliens emerge from the Undertown, thereby revealing the existence of Undertown to humans. 
Later, at Plumber Headquarters, Max told Ben and Rook that Incursean ships had indeed cornered Earth. However, he also told them that a shield was protecting Earth which would buy them some time. Ben was sent to a press conference where he tried to calm down the residents of Bellwood who had learned about the existence of aliens. Will Harangue, also present, tried to thwart Ben's calming down of the humans and mentioned how Ben was a traitor to the Earth. Unfortunately, due to Ben's fiddling of the Omnitrix, the randomizer function of the Omnitrix activated and caused Ben to rapidly turn into different aliens in a short span of time. This unintentionally caused damage to buildings and other property. 
The Incurseans had been trying to communicate with Earth, but Attea told Milleous that the shields were preventing communication. Milleous threatened Attea if she spoke out of term again. The Incurseans managed to breach the shield and begin their assault. 
Ben, as Water Hazard, finally calmed everyone down and told them to feel respect whenever they think of aliens. Unfortunately, that was when the Incurseans struck. Water Hazard tried to spray water on the ships, to no avail. He swiftly dodged an Incursean beam and turned into Astrodactyl to knock down Incursean ships. In midair, Astrodactyl turned into Snare-Oh and was attacked by an Incursean ship. Attea started to battle Snare-oh, but Ben turned into Rath and punched a hole into the ship. The ship started to crash, and Ben reverts to human. Ben was rescued by Rook and taken to Plumber Headquarters. Meanwhile, Dr. Psychobos thought that it would be better if they told Milleous about it, but Attea yelled at him.
Back at Plumber Headquarters, the Plumbers ran around frantically as Milleous told everyone that he was the ruler of Earth as Incurseans have invaded every part of the planet. Max asked Blukic and Driba how the Omnitrix was doing with the two Galvans saying that the randomizer function had been activated. Ben yelled that he knew that, with Blukic hitting the watch with a wrench. Max then decided the Plumbers had better attack Milleous, hoping to disrupt his communications with the rest of his army. Ben wanted to join in, with Max declining. 
Attea's ship was being attacked by Plumber tanks, with Dr. Psychobos saying that their defense force was getting away. Attea said Milleous could handle himself while she needed to do something else. The forces led by Max attacked Milleous' ship, with Milleous gloating and firing back. Back at Plumber Headquarters, Attea and Dr. Psychobos searched for Ben but failed to find him. Rook's Proto-TRUK was damaged and Max told Rook not to land. Ben's voice was heard from the back. Ben turned into Bloxx as the Proto-TRUK crashed into Milleous' ship, making Max think that Ben and Rook had died. Aboard Milleous' ship, the two were revealed to have survived the crash. Bloxx turned back into Ben who was happy that the randomizer function had deactivated. Ben, hoping to turn into Humungousaur, turned into Nanomech instead and Nanomech used his energy blasts to knock down some Incurseans heading towards them. Rook defeated the rest of the soldiers as Nanomech turned back into Ben. Rook noticed that whatever Blukic and Driba did shortened the Omnitrix's transformation time. 
Max angrily attacked Milleous' ship, still thinking Ben and Rook were dead, as Milleous ordered his soldiers to take down Max. Suddenly, Ben as Four Arms appeared, along with Rook, and helped Max. Ben was grabbed by Milleous, who threatened to kill him if Max didn't call off the attack. Incursean ships started attacking Milleous' ship as Milleous noticed Rook messing with the controls. Ben turned into Big Chill to escape Milleous' grasp. Big Chill then froze Milleous and reverted to human. Ben told everyone not to stop firing. Inside Plumber Headquarters, Attea announced to the Incurseans that she was taking over and told them to fire at Milleous' ship. While Ben and Rook were talking, Milleous broke free from the ice and threatened to destroy everything.
Ben transformed into XLR8 and ran away from Milleous for a short time before turning back to normal. Ben then turned into Humungousaur and lifted Milleous. However, the Omnitrix timed out and Milleous landed on top of Ben. Milleous attempted to crush Ben by leaping up high and falling back down but Ben transformed into Crashhopper and rammed Milleous in midair, causing him to leap all around the room. Milleous' ship soon landed on Earth and Ben turned back to normal with Milleous landing on Ben, but Rook then handcuffed Milleous.
Outside the ship, Max and Attea were at a standoff. Max said that he has her army outnumbered, to which Attea showed more of her Incursean ships, having the Plumber ships surrounded, but Ben appeared behind her, telling her to call off the ships or Milleous would die. Attea then said that Ben didn't have the guts to do it, and Milleous told Ben that he would let him go with the condition that Ben had to leave Earth and never come back. Ben asked why, and Dr. Psychobos soon pressed a button which caused a device to activate. Attea asked Ben if he was wondering what she did with the mind control juice and Ben replied, saying he did.
Soon, large mutated To'kustars, known as Way Bads, began raining down from the sky on nearly all parts of Earth, and Milleous told Ben that if he didn't leave, the Way Bads would begin destroying Earth. Ben didn't want to, but Max told Ben to obey him. Ben was shocked, saying he wouldn't let the Incurseans win, but Max said he thought he lost Ben before, and with Ben leaving Earth, he would know Ben was still alive. Ben reluctantly gave himself up and Attea locked him in an Incursean space pod. Milleous gloated as Max and the other Plumbers were being boarded on Incursean ships. Will Harangue reported on how the Incurseans had taken over Earth, but proudly said how their biggest threat, Ben, had been sent away. Ben was soon blasted into space, with Harangue telling Ben, "Goodbye and good riddance."
===The Frogs of War: Part 2===
With Ben exiled in space and things not looking good, Ben's team consisting of Gwen, Kevin, Rook, and Blukic, continued fighting the Incurseans with the help of Argit. Meanwhile, Will Harangue, who had an affiliation with the Incurseans, spoke good things about their new benevolent lords as they blew up the White House. 
Ben's team tried to smuggle weapons, but they were caught and are forced to flee. Regrouping at Mr. Baumann's store, they discussed what to do when Argit pointed out that they should capture Dr. Psychobos as he was the one who controlled the Way Bads.
After agreeing, the group planned to attack what they thought was Dr. Psychobos' personal convoy when Gwen realized that it was not Dr. Psychobos' convoy but rather a trap - Argit had betrayed them to the Incurseans. As the Incurseans, led by Attea, were about to capture them, a tall, lean Incursean named Bullfrag came to the aid of the team. He rescued them and led them to a spaceship where Kevin knocked Bullfrag out. When he came to his senses, he insisted that he was an ally. After a scan, Gwen said that he was okay while Bullfrag asked for smoothies from Blukic. As they all followed Bullfrag's plan to free the Plumbers and find Dr. Psychobos, they managed to get inside Plumber Headquarters as Bullfrag brought them in as "prisoners".
Once inside, Rook and Blukic freed Argit (unintentionally), Driba and a dehydrated Magister Patelliday. They realized that they needed to free Max to mount a resistance. At Max's cell, Bullfrag picked up Max, calling him "Grandpa", while Max called him "Ben". Kevin was shocked that everyone suspected Bullfrag to be Ben. Ben explained that when he was exiled, he found that his wrist was loose. Azmuth then came to his rescue, unlocked Bullfrag, the DNA sample of an Incursean and gave Ben the Life-Form Lock so that he could stay as Bullfrag without timing out.
Attea then came up behind the group and started saying that how her father was going be mad when Bullfrag started flirting with her, Attea felt ashamed as she had a crush on Ben as Bullfrag. She was then knocked out by Gwen. Disgusted, Kevin asked what the flirting was for as Bullfrag was replied it was the DNA. Knowing that his cover had been blown, Ben deactivates the Life-Form Lock and transformed back into his human form. From elsewhere, Rook contacted the group, where he, Blukic, and Driba had been attempting to subdue Psychobos, and confirmed that he also suspected that Bullfrag was Ben (to Kevin's annoyance). They explained that Psychobos summoned a Way Bad, headed in their direction. Ben chose to fight the Way Bad as Way Big.
While Way Big was caught in a headlock by the Way Bads, Argit inadvertently knocked one out with his quills during his escape. Rook, Blukic, Driba and Patelliday drove by, shooting the Way Bads with a Null Void Projector, thus sending them to the Null Void. This allowed Way Big to fire a cosmic ray to intercept Milleous' conquest ray, forcing Milleous to escape before his ship was blasted to bits. Rook's group left to catch all the Way Bads on Earth, while Ben, Gwen, Kevin, and Max confronted Milleous, with Attea and Psychobos in chains.
Milleous angrily stated that he still had his regular Incursean army, but Max reminded him that Milleous was now under capture. From behind, Attea picked her handcuffs free, declaring that, with her father arrested, it now left her in charge of the Incurseans, which was her master plan all along - much to the surprise of everyone present. Attea revealed that she was the one who loosened Ben's locks on his wrist so he could escape, knowing that he would return to Earth and overthrow Milleous in order to save Earth, thereby defeating her father for her. Ben was mortified at the extent of Attea's vicious plot, but Attea retorted that ever since their first encounter, Milleous kept her under close watch, forcing her to take drastic measures to usurp her father's position. Attea then demanded that Ben let her go free, in exchange for the Incurseans pulling back to their original territories, goading Ben on since she knew that the heroes wanted to avoid a war. Max and Ben begrudgingly accepted Attea's terms as she offered to pay for damages, having secured her position of power. Milleous was torn between anger and pride for Attea as he was taken away.
Before leaving, Attea briefly flirted with Ben, asking him to join her as Bullfrag. Disgusted, Ben declined as Attea shrugged him off, stretching her tongue to kiss him at the back of his head. As Attea's forces took off, Rook called him to say that news of Ben's latest heroic exploits had spread through the galaxy, and that the Incurseans had pulled back.
==Aftermath==
The war against the Incurseans resulted in them taking over the Earth for over a month. Due to the invasion of the Incurseans, humans and aliens learned to work alongside together and both of them helped in the resistance against the Incurseans. This led to the accepting of aliens by humans and now both aliens and humans live together. Also, because of the peace treaty that Attea signed with the Plumbers, Attea is now the ruler of the Incurseans with Milleous now in Plumber custody, all according to Attea's plan.
Because she wanted to ascend to the position of High Empress, Attea went looking for a husband which led to the events of Catfight in which Attea formed a rivalry with Princess Looma Red Wind of the Tetramands on their quest to claim Ben as their husband. Eventually, at the end of the episode, Ben convinced both the rulers that they didn't need a husband to ascend to the throne and Attea went back to her residence to complete the process of ascending to the throne, now to be known as "Lord Empress Attea, light of the Incursean empire, destroyer of galaxies, keeper of the conquest ray, all beings tremble-". Since the speaker is usually cut off at this point, the full title is unknown.
