==Synopsis==
Ben, Rook and Max must stop Ultimate Albedo from absorbing Azmuth's intelligence and taking over the galaxy.
==Plot==
Following from the previous episode, Ultimate Albedo and Khyber have captured Azmuth, and Khyber warns Ben's team to stay back. Ben asks Azmuth if he has a plan, but he says that there is no time for that and tells Ben's team to rescue him. Ben, Max, and Rook all charge for them, but Khyber whistles to his pet and orders it to multiply and tackle the three down. Albedo says he will use the Cerebral Vortex to drain Azmuth's intelligence and transfer it into his mind. Albedo activates the machine, and it successfully drains Azmuth's intelligence, and extracting it in the form of a green orb. Khyber attempts to feed Azmuth to one of his pets, but Rook breaks free and Ben transforms into Terraspin. Terraspin knocks away Albedo, and Max catches the orb. Khyber tries to retrieve the orb, but Terraspin knocks him away as well. The team escapes and Albedo transforms into Arctiguana as he, Khyber, and the Panuncians begin to chase after them. 
When clear, Terraspin transforms back into Ben and is surprised to see Azmuth acting unintelligent after spitting him out of his mouth. Max explains that it is Azmuth's "pre-brain" that is functioning, and Rook finishes, saying that Galvans have a secondary brain that handles bodily functions. According to Max, it makes Blukic and Driba look like geniuses. Soon, Negative Arctiguana and Khyber arrive, and Negative Arctiguana transforms into Ultimate Arctiguana, wanting the brain and fires large shards of ice at Ben's group. Ben takes a different path from Max and Rook, with the Panuncians chasing them. Ben manages to take Azmuth safely into a room, and locks it to prevent the Panuncian from getting in. Ben tells Max he will find a way to get Azmuth's brain back into place, as Azmuth begins to beat on a machine. However, this sets off the self-destruct function. Meanwhile, Khyber, the Panuncians, and Negative Ultimate Arctiguana turn around and Negatve Ultimate Arctiguana transforms into Ultimate Albedo, who asks what is going on, but Khyber grabs his head and they all escape from the lair through Khyber's ship. Ben's team escapes into the Proto-TRUK and leave for Earth before the explosion occurs.
In the Proto-TRUK, Ben tells Azmuth they will get his brain back into place. Azmuth's brain begins to talk, saying that Ben rescued it, and assumes Ben is trying to build a Cerebral Vortex to restore his mind. Azmuth starts to list the items that Ben needs in order to construct a Cerebral Vortex, but Albedo and Khyber begin attacking. Ben attempts to transform into Astrodactyl, but transforms into Cannonbolt instead. Cannonbolt holds his breath and heads out into space, where he begins attacking Albedo and Khyber's ship. Ultimate Albedo activates the tractor beam to pull in Cannonbolt, but Cannonbolt grabs onto the Proto-TRUK to try and get away. Rook manages to steer away from the tractor beam and Cannonbolt re-enters the Proto-TRUK and transforms back into Ben. Rook says that he burned out the engine as Albedo and Khyber begin to attack. Suddenly, Gwen and Kevin arrive on the Rustbucket 3 and join the fight. Both the Proto-TRUK and Khyber's ship start falling into Earth's atmosphere at high speed. Gwen attempts to slow down the Proto-TRUK with her mana, but Max says that they are still coming in too hot. Gwen loses control of the ship, and it crashes roughly onto the ground. 
Ben exits from the wreckage as Gravattack, who uses his gravity powers to safely carry out Max and Rook. Khyber's ship lands, and Ultimate Albedo asks for Azmuth's brain. Ultimate Albedo attempts to fight, but Gravattack easily pulls him away using his gravity powers and slams him into a nearby building. Gravattack continues to keep Ultimate Albedo into his orbit, but Ultimate Albedo transforms into Armodrillo and knocks down Gravattack. After Gravattack transforms back into Ben, Negative Armodrillo soon transforms into Gravattack himself and then evolves into Ultimate Gravattack and starts to toss Ben around by keeping him in his own orbit. Meanwhile, Azmuth grabs onto Gwen's glasses and Kevin is fighting Khyber. Khyber is surprised to see his old pet again, referring to her as a male, and Kevin says that Zed is a girl. He starts to attack Khyber, calling him a jerk. The two appear to be an even match, until Zed tackles Khyber down. Khyber calls for his Panuncian to attack. Ben is still trapped in Negative Ultimate Gravattack's orbit and accidentally lets go of Azmuth's brain, which Negative Ultimate Gravattack gladly takes and floats away. Zed manages to scare away the Panuncians, and Gwen traps Khyber.
Gwen threatens to send Khyber to the Null Void, Ben asks Khyber where Albedo is taking the brain. Khyber, not wanting to comply, orders his pet to transform into Crabdozer. Ben transforms into Upchuck and easily eats Crabdozer, remarking that Gourmands don't have a natural predator. Khyber gloats that, thanks to his alliance with Albedo, the Nemetrix isn't limited to just natural predators anymore. The Panuncian then transforms into Ultimate Panuncian and escapes from Upchuck. Upchuck transforms back into Ben, and the Ultimate Panuncian begins to attack. Gwen manages to hold off the attacks by placing a force field, while Ben is trying to select an alien. Azmuth falls onto the Omnitrix and causes Ben to transform into Pesky Dust, much to his displeasure. Unexpectedly, Khyber appears to be afraid of Pesky Dust. Pesky Dust uses his powers to put Khyber to sleep and views his dreams. In the dream, Vilgax is tied up on top of the Rustbucket 2 and Max is telling a younger Ben and Gwen how great a job they have done, and even Khyber as well. Ben and Gwen compliment Khyber and they manage to get Khyber to say that Albedo, in order to build the Cerebral Vortex, had to go to a place that has a laboratory. The dream sequence ends, and Pesky Dust transforms back into Ben. Ben informs the group that Albedo went to a lab somewhere. The Ultimate Panuncian breaks through the force field, but Rook manages to get its attention, while Gwen holds its legs down and Kevin is on the beast itself. Ben transforms into Water Hazard and fires water into the Ultimate Panuncian's mouth, while Kevin breaks the Nemetrix. The Ultimate Panuncian transforms back into Panuncian, and Water Hazard transforms back into normal as well. Rook says that he can only think of two laboratories that have the materials needed to build a Cerebral Vortex: one is located at Plumber HQ and the other is in Billions Tower.
At Billions Tower, Ben's group arrives and spots Ultimate Albedo, who is currently transferring Azmuth's brain into his very own. Ultimate Albedo says that they are too late, and he will use his new brainpower to make the universe perfect. Gwen attempts to hit Ultimate Albedo with a mana dsic, but he easily deflects it back at her. Kevin charges as well, but Ultimate Albedo lifts them all up and traps them in a force field. Suddenly, Ultimate Albedo starts to see the univers the way Azmuth sees it, as his brain has gotten bigger, and admits his jealousy and hatred for Azmuth is pointless. Azmuth then falls on Ben's Omnitrix and selects an alien and he transforms into Bloxx. Bloxx pulls the switch which causes Ultimate Albedo's newfound brainpower to drain away and blasts everyone else but Bloxx and Azmuth away. Ultimate Albedo then transforms into Ultimate Humungousaur and starts to attack Bloxx. He tosses Bloxx away, who transforms back into Ben. Azmuth appears by Ben and Ben asks Azmuth to choose an alien for him, saying that he has better luck. Ben is then transformed into a new alien, which Azmuth dubs Atomix. Gwen and the rest reappear and Negative Ultimate Humungousaur charges at Atomix. Atomix easily punches Negative Ultimate Humungousaur away and tosses Azmuth to Max. Negative Ultimate Humungousaur reappears as Ultimate Spidermonkey, who attempts to trap Atomix with webs. Atomix uses his nuclear powers to burn though the webs and attacks Negative Ultimate Spidermonkey with "Fissile Whistle", which sends him backwards. Atomix asks Gwen to shield the others, which she does and Atomix kicks them away to safety (not knowing his strength). After they are sent away into the sky, Atomix finishes off Negative Ultimate Spidermonkey with the "Nuclear Winner", damaging Billions Tower. After being defeated, Negative Ultimate Spidermonkey transforms into Ultimate Albedo and transforms back into his Galvan form, while Atomix transforms back into Ben.
Gwen and the others arrive, and Gwen tells Ben that she and the others almost passed out from the altitude. Ben apologizes and tells Gwen that Atomix is a new alien, but Kevin calls Atomix an awesome alien. Ben and the others activate the Cerebral Vortex and it transfers Azmuth's brain back into Azmuth, who regains his intelligence. Ben tells Azmuth that he used to get the aliens he wanted every time and wants to know why he can't now. Azmuth says that Ben needs to stop hitting the Omnitrix so hard, because whenever he transforms into an alien, the impact of his hit causes the timer to set to random. Azmuth then picks the Ultimatrix off of Albedo's back from Albedo and rewires it, before placing it back onto Albedo. Azmuth asks Max to call whenever something is important, and teleports away. Ben is happy that Azmuth's back and Albedo wakes up. Rook picks up Albedo and starts to take him away, while Molly Gunther informs Max that Khyber has gotten away.
Soon, Albedo's stabilizer starts to malfunction and transforms him back into his 16-year-old Ben form. Gwen asks Ben if he believes that this is Azmuth's doing, which prompts Ben to say that he is definitely responsible. Albedo is upset that he will have irrational impulses, the hormones, and disgusting fried food cravings and he then asks what is worse than being transformed into a 16-year-old Ben Tennyson. Suddenly, Albedo then transforms into an 11-year-old Ben. Albedo cries as Ben and the team watch him.
