Same Watch, New Aliens: Part 2

**Same Watch, New Aliens: Part 2** is the second episode of Ben 10: Battle of the Omnitricies. This episode was written by Benzarro85 on December 12, 2021.

## Plot

The episode begins where the first episode left off. Albedo was in the form of a Kineceleran, holding Ben by his black and green shirt he normally wears. Albedo was back forreal this time, chucking Ben back onto the ground.

"I thought you remained in prison." Ben snapped, shocked. He gets up from the ground and dusts himself off. "You should've stayed there for all the things you've done. You almost killed Azmuth, you're a monster!"

Albedo refused to listen as he titled his head to the side. "What about you, Tennyson? With all the lives that were tied to your hands. The one's that counted on you. The ones that have already perished." He laughed. "You're no hero. You're nobody's hero. YOU are the monster."

Rook tried to intervene by aiming his Proto-TOOL towards Albedo's direction. "That's enough, Albedo!" he shouted, about to shoot. "Put your hands where I can see them."

XLR8 transforms back into Albedo, his hands in the air, facing the Revonnahgander. "You're facing that disgusting tech the wrong way round, Revonnahgander. As for you, you should've stayed where you belonged. The Plumbers were dim-witted enough to even let you become Magister. Let alone allow you to join their academy."

"They saw potential in me. As well as my fellow acquaintances." Rook spoke. "It was them who wanted to recruit me into their cause. To help and protect Ben, no matter how many times he told me he'd rather work solo. He gave me a chance. And I'm glad I took it. Ben is not a monster. He's my best friend, my partner, my hero."

Albedo snickered. "You've made a pathetic decision, really. Trusting Ben is just a cover-up of one of his biggest flaws. He shouldn't be trusted to work with someone capable of actually saving the entire universe."

Ben clenched his fists as he butted in. "That's enough! You can't manipulate him to go against me, Albedo. I've seen what you're capable of. I've seen your tricks, your schemes, your teamups. You're nothing without your own partner."

Albedo laughed hysterically. "I don't need a partner to finish you or your waste of a friend off."

"You might as well." Ben spoke as he dials the Omnitrix. "You'll be sorry for what you have said to me and Rook." He transforms into Feedback as he sprints towards Albedo in an immense wave of rage. Feedback tried what ever he could to attack Albedo, but the grey-haired Ben simply dodges them by bending backwards, to make him even more furious.

"All your anger is not worth fighting against me for, Tennyson." Albedo smirked. "You're lucky Azmuth and Xylene even made you worthy of the Omnitrix."

Feedback draws out a huge electrokinetic blast as he shoots it at Albedo. "STOP TALKING!!!" he screeched.

Albedo dodges again and transforms into Arctiguana who then evolves into his ultimate form. Ultimate Arctiguana solidifies Feedback in an ice casing as he makes an escape, Rook tries to chase after him, but stops so he could release Feedback, who was still engulfed in rage. Feedback upon breaking free from the ice builds up all his rage into one catastrophic eletronic blast as he exiles it, howling as he couldn't take all the nasty remarks Albedo told both him and Rook.

The next scene opens to the Plumber HQ, as Ben arrives as well as Rook from the Proto-TRUK. Max was accompanying some Plumbers as Ben looks around. Max finds Ben as he walks over to him and Rook.

"Ben." Max started the conversation. "What's the matter?"

"I don't wanna talk about it." Ben scoffs as he looks away.

Rook sighed. "Ben had just encountered Albedo. He is mad about the terrible remarks he has said. I tried calming him down earlier but, to my surprise, it didn't work."

"What he said shouldn't have been so vile!" Ben snapped. "He can't keep getting away with all the things he says."

"You can't keep getting mad at him forever, Ben." Max spoke. "As much as Albedo's a brat, he is part of your DNA, use it to your advantage. You know how much he loves his Chili Fries. Bait him."

"He might as well be hungry from all that smack-talk." Ben spoke, slightly smirking. "I'll be hanging with Blukic and Driba, I'll see how they're doing."

"Very well, Ben." Max responded. Ben heads over to the weapon testing room where Blukic and Driba resided. They were already in need of a new weapon test dummy. They look up to find Ben, as their dummy is destroyed seconds later with a huge bang.

"Blukic, Driba. I'm here." Ben said. "Which alien would you like me to use for this tester?"

"We're testing a few weapons to see how they'd react to any of your transformations." Blukic spoke.

"We may be giving these pieces of technology to Rook if this experiment comes to a success." Driba added. "The first one is the DNA scanner. We built our own so we could make an exact copy of any alien. If I may be so bold, it may even recreate an entire population."

"I doubt it could even make an entire population." Ben spoke. "I encountered one of those before. The Forever Knights had one of them. Rook thankfully destroyed it."

"Yes, but. This one does not force you to transform back."

"Very well." Ben sighed. Ben dials the Omnitrix and transforms into Chromastone. Chromastone stands in front of the weapon as it scans Chromastone's DNA, before malfunctioning and deactivating itself. Chromastone still stood there.

"Well? What happened?" Chromastone asked.

"The device short circuited." Blukic responded. "We might need to rework on the interface."

Chromastone sighed. "Should I change?"

"No. It almost worked, I'm sure it'll work this time."

Alarms started going off, the entire room was red, Chromastone runs out of the room and enters the main headquarters where Rook, Max and some plumbers resided. The huge screen shows a shadowy figure causing chaos in Bellwood. Chromastone switches into Goop as he exits the HQ and flies down to Bellwood. As soon as he arrives to Bellwood, he finds himself in contact with a strange entity. The entity accelerates their speed to launch themselves at Goop, who manages to dodge the attack. The figure tries again, with the same results.

"Who are you?" Goop asked. "Have we met before?"

"Yes. I believe we have." the figure spoke. "My name is Driscoll, and I have returned to get my revenge on you."

"I thought you perished with the rest of the Forever Knights?"

"Perished? Naw. I survived the Esoterica, as well as the rest of the other Forever Knights."

Goop was shocked. "I mean, to be fair, I'm glad the Esoterica don't exist anymore."

Driscoll laughed. "So am I. Conduit Edwards was a bit of a pain in my bottocks. Anyways. Since we can both agree on something, I'll spare fighting against you, Ben Tennyson. But until we meet again, it won't be so easy."

"Wait." Goop interrupted. "What was the point of coming to Bellwood? Is this some sort of diversion? Like... are you teaming up with somebody?"

He shook his head. "Nope. I do not intend to work with anybody who is not part of the Forever Knights."

As Ben and Driscoll were having their quarrel, Albedo quickly dashes past, making it unclear to Ben's vision. Albedo heads to Undertown where he takes a route to a mysterious ship. As soon as Albedo enters the ship, he is trapped by a red barrier as he attempts to escape. Laughter could he heard nearby, as Albedo looks at his direction.

"So... we meet again Albedo." the voice from the shadows spoke, sitting on his chair. "Let's say we partner up again. I feel like we make a pretty good team."

The figure rose from his seat as he is revealed to be Khyber. Albedo was shocked, but realised he partnered with him before. "Oh... it's you."

"Yes... it is indeed me." Khyber smirked. "I have a plan. I won't tell you, but with your intellect, it wouldn't surprise me if you'd figure out already."

"Please... do tell." Albedo insisted.

Khyber let out a sigh. "We're heading to Eon who told me he'd be meeting the both of us at the Incarcecon. During this, you and Eon will work together to recruit evil Ben Tennysons. While I do my part. I try and adapt to his routine, while you collect."

"Sounds tough. But I'll see what I can do." Albedo responded. "I might need to refix the Ultimatrix, however. My recent encounter with Tennyson might've loosened a few circuits."

He looked around. "Where's your Panuncian?"

"My Panuncian... I don't have a Panuncian anymore. I used to have this Slimebiote, who would give me some sort of armoury, or weaponry, depending on which predator."

"I remember that Slimebiote well." Albedo spoke, removing the Ultimatrix in order to repair it. "Tennyson had it at one point, I don't see it on his wrist, though."

Khyber waited for Albedo. "Inform me when you're ready, we have no time to lose."

Albedo manages to successfully repair his Ultimatrix as he gives Khyber a thumbs up. Khyber starts his ship, as they set off to the Incarcecon, without being seen. "Since you have most, if not all of Ben's aliens, I don't think there would be any problems countering his attacks." Khyber spoke.

"Not all of them." Albedo denied. "Tennyson has a Hypnonebulas, which means he is most likely going to have any other species in that watch."

"Ah, right." Khyber responded. The ship continued flying until it reached outer space, as they arrive at the neighbouring planet, Mars. Albedo began thinking. Ben hadn't decided to chase after them, although knowing Ben, he would've easily gotten distracted by something.

Back at Earth, Ben was hanging out with Gwen and Rook in Burger Shack. Ben was eating his Chili Fries, while Gwen went to order something, since she was hungry. Rook was sitting with Ben on a seat, next to the window. Ben continued munching on his Chili Fries while Gwen arrives with her triple cheese burger.

"Are you sure you don't want anything, Rook?" Gwen asked. "I know chili fries aren't your thing, but you can always have what I've ordered."

"I am fine, thank you, Miss Tennyson." Rook responded. "I still have my Mycetean Swamp Hoppers in the Proto-TRUK."

Ben was disgusted after he finished eating a handful of fries. "You still eat those?"

"They're quite healthy for the body." Rook responded. "It helps add more to the brain."

Gwen looked out the window. "Thank you for calling, Ben. I didn't know Albedo would say things like that."

Ben responded. "You're welcome. And I know, Albedo was such a jerk. I didn't think he would have the guts to say anything as rude as that." He got back to eating his chili fries while Gwen was almost finished with her triple cheese burger, when suddenly, Attea bursts through the ground, wanting revenge from her previous fight with Ben.

"You!" Attea shouted, pointing at Ben's direction "I want a rematch, right now!"

Ben Rook and Gwen run outside of Burger Shack as they got ready to fight. Ben dials the Omnitrix for an alien who can defeat her, as he transforms into another brand new alien. Ben had transformed into a member of Argit's species, called Snorecupine, as he was amazed at his physical appearance.

"Woah." Snorecupine spoke, amazed. "I'm a member of Argit's species, this is great!"

Gwen and Rook look at him. Gwen spoke. "Yeah, I don't think this guy's gonna work. We need someone who can actually fight Attea properly, and not just shoot out quils that won't really do anything."

"If anything." Attea interrupted. "He should be turning into Bullfrag."

Gwen throws a mana disk at her face which explodes. She collapses onto the ground. "She really has a Bullfrag obsession."

Snorcupine transforms back into Ben. "Yep. It's been bothering me for quite a while."

The scene switches to Albedo and Khyber still travelling to the incarcecon. A sudden thud is heard from above, as Albedo heads out to investigate. To a surprise, Professor Paradox seemed to have calculated their departure.

"Paradox!" Albedo snapped. "I should've known it was you."

Paradox smirked. "I say. What are you doing exactly, Albedo?"

He doesn't answer his question as he transforms into Water Hazard in order to fend off the stowaway. Paradox teleports off before Albedo could eventually catch him. Water Hazard looked around; Paradox was nowhere to be seen. Water Hazard transforms back into Albedo as he heads back to Khyber.

"We've been ambushed by a stowaway." Albedo spoke. "If we're not careful, Tennyson will be hot on our tracks."

"Very well." Khyber responded. "We're not too far from Incarcecon, just a few more minutes, and we'll be there."

The scene switches back to Bellwood. It seems that Attea had woken up as she attacks Gwen for knocking her out with a mana disk. Attea began firing at the three, while Ben sprung into action, by transforming into Swampfire. Swampfire retaliates by throwing fireballs at her direction while she dodges. She stretches her tongue as she uses it to whack the three off their feet. Suddenly, Paradox arrives.

"Benjamin." He spoke, defeating Attea by freezing her in a repeating timeloop. "Albedo is inside Khyber's ship. I don't know where he's heading, but I'm sure it's about something dangerous."

Swampfire transforms back into Ben. "Alright. We better catch up with them then."

Ben, Rook and Gwen run to the Proto-TRUK as they hop inside. With Rook activating the Proto-TRUK's ship mode, they head off to catch up with Albedo and Khyber, who were almost there at the Incarcecon. Ben thought for a moment. Why did they have to travel to the Incarcecon? Were they meeting somebody? Somebody that can pose a major threat? He couldn't tell, he was quite intrigued.

Albedo and Khyber arrive at the Incarcecon as they exit the ship. They enter as they find Eon, along with some criminals who were having some sort of fight, like the ones in the cafeteria during lunch hours at school.

"So glad you two could make it." Eon spoke. "We haven't got much time."

Eon takes them further down the Incarcecon as he closes the doors behind them. Albedo and Khyber follow along.

"Since our last battle between the good and bad Bens, I had decided I should take a stance, and get revenge." Eon spoke, with Albedo and Khyber still following along. "For this mission, Albedo and I need to recruit evil Bens, while you keep Tennyson busy."

"Sounds like an interesting plan, I'm in." Khyber agreed. "I'll just stay at Earth for this, while you and Albedo head off and recruit these evil Bens."

A sudden rumble is heard. Albedo, Eon and Khyber run separate ways, as their plan is set into motion. Khyber opens the door to reveal Rook, Gwen, and Ben as another brand new alien, Crocduster. Khyber was beyond startled upon seeing one of Ben's new forms.

Crocduster swings into motion. "Khyber! I should've expected to see you." He began barging past tables and benches as he catches up to Khyber who manages to dodge. The extraterrestrial, humanoid crocodile tears off a chunk of the wall as it turns into dust, which then gets absorbed into the arm openings, granting him access to become even more powerful. He exiles them with a powerful energy-like blast that it knocks Khyber onto the ground.

"Easy now. I don't want any trouble." Khyber spoke, trying to get up. "I'm not alone in this mission. Albedo and I came here to visit Eon."

"Eon?" Crocduster questioned. "What is he up to now?"

Khyber gets up. "Eon and Albedo are recruiting each single evil Ben for some new war."

Crocduster was shocked. He faces Rook and Gwen. "Rook. Take care of Khyber while Gwen and I ambush Albedo and Eon. This won't take long."

Rook switches his place with Crocduster while he runs off, Gwen catches up. They began to search for Albedo and Eon. Rook keeps Khyber in captivity, and soon arrests him. The scene switches to Crocduster, who transforms back into Ben, and Gwen who continue running in order to catch up with Albedo and Eon, who were at the other side, activating a portal. Ben and Gwen soon arrive, while Albedo and Eon's portal opened.

Albedo laughed. "You're too late, Tennyson. You've failed to stop me and Eon from acheiving our goal. You won't survive on your own on this war."

"Maybe so. But I can still kick your butt." Ben snapped. "And not to worry, I can just recruit the good me's once again. You won't stand a chance this time, Albedo."

Albedo snickered. "Maybe... but I don't need an army to finish you off. I can do so on my own."

As soon as Eon enters the portal, Albedo enters also, as it later closes before Gwen tried to throw a mana disk into it, to startle them on their mission, to no avail. She thought. "An entire war, filled with all different Bens? Damn, that must be tough. What if one tries to go Alien X? By then the war would've already lost."

"Not true." Ben spoke. "They have lost before the war has even started. Think about it. As long as if any multidimensional beings aren't involved, then we should be fine."

Ben and Gwen take a trip back to the Proto-TRUK. "So, we just have to look out for the Naljians, or the Contumelia, again, right?"

"Yeah. The Contumelia are a big deal still." Ben replied. "They may have helped us create a universe when Rook and I went back in time, but that does not mean that any alternate Ben can't just turn into Clockwork and get the Contumelia to erase our entire universe."

As soon as Ben and Gwen arrive, they find Rook inside the Proto-TRUK with a incarcerated Khyber. Ben and Gwen get inside the Proto-TRUK, now acknowledging that a war between every single Ben Tennyson, good and bad, has just begun. The episode ends, with the Proto-TRUK flying off, heading home.
