Return of the Dead: Part 1

**Return of the Dead: Part 1**is the first episode of Ben 10: The Charge of the Dino (Reboot). This episode marks the reappearances of the main characters, as well as the villains and the aliens.

## Plot

It has been a few months since the defeat of Sledges team, and Lord Arcanon's team. Ben and the Rangers had gone their separate ways, but still keep in touch with one another. Shelby had just gone back into college with Tyler, Chase and Riley. Ivan and Koda have went back into their time periods, while Kendall was busy working in the Dinosaur Zoo. All was calm.

Ah, Ben Tennyson. I've completely forgotten about him. Ben was busy in his dimension with his cousin Gwen, and her boyfriend Kevin, they just waved Rook Blonko who just went back into his home planet. Ben, Gwen and Kevin were sitting down in Mr. Smoothy, with smoothie cups in their hands.

Ben wishes that he didn't have to leave, whilst looking through his phone's camera roll. Elena shows up, shocked at how she finally managed to see the three after not being able to see them for so long. With Ben still being upset, Elena asks Ben about the problem. Gwen and Ben explain to Elena about fighting with the Power Rangers, to Elena coming off as clueless. Ben claims that he wanted to stay.

In Amber Beach's High School, Tyler, Shelby, Chase and Riley were talking about how Ben had made them feel better about being heroes. Tyler wishes Ben had stayed, with Shelby wishing Ben to return. As the bell rings, they separate, heading off to class. Shelby began to stare into space, hoping for Ben and his team to come back.

Ms Morgan was busy clearing up her base in the Dinosaur Zoo, tidying and clearing off everything, as she began to recall memories about Ben as she began to shed a tear in happiness. Tyler's dad, James sends her a message, with her responding that she'll arrive shortly.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the deepest parts of the forest, a red beam of light shone down onto the Earth's atmosphere. Making an entry, Lord Arcanon and his companion, Singe, arrive after being presumed extinct. Lord Arcanon vows revenge after being destroyed many months ago. Singe informs Arcanon about the next phase of their plan, resulting on minor catastrophic damage to a few trees nearby.

Lord Arcanon wishes destruction to all life on Earth, with Singe disagreeing as all humans are not to be left for dead. A fired blast is shot at Lord Arcanon and Singe's direction, leading to the reappearance of the silver ranger, Zenowing. Heckyl is seen coming behind Zenowing with the Dark Energem. Confused at how Heckyl hasn't turned into Snide, Lord Arcanon questions Heckyl about his alter ego. With Heckyl silencing any rumors about Snide, they all began to fight. Unaware about the presence of the Graphite Ranger, Prince Phillip runs off in search for Ms Morgan, who had just got outside with James.

Ms Morgan and James grew shocked about the information about Lord Arcanon. Keeper teleports himself in with information about the revenge of Lord Arcanon, including the potential revival of Sledge and his team. With the three rangers confused, Keeper opens a portal revealing Koda and Ivan who were busy with their day-to-day lives. Kendall calls out their names to which they look up, responding by walking out of the portals.

Keeper informs Koda and Ivan about the return of Lord Arcanon, with Tyler, Shelby, Chase and Riley walking towards them. Keeper welcomes the arrival of the other four whilst grabbing a pod, holding the Energems that they had previously. With the rangers finishing their transformations into superheroes, Keeper creates a portal.

A few minutes ago in Ben's dimension, Kevin was driving Ben home. The portal appears as it sends Ben, Gwen and Kevin over to the Dino Charge dimension, as Ben had been dying to stay in for the time being. Ben's celebration cuts to a halt, as they explain that Lord Arcanon has returned after being presumed extinct. With Ben being shocked at the latter, Ben transforms into Diamondhead.

Somewhere further down the forest, Sledge comes back into the mix after a bright red light filled the room. With Wrench, Fury, Poisandra and Curio leaving the portal, the light closes, and Sledge's team has come back to life. Sledge insists a plan to interrogate the Rangers, to Wrench claiming the Rangers' disband. With Sledge looking shocked, he looks at Wrench and refuses Wrench's claim. Sledge began to investigate in order to find his ship which was destroyed along with him many years ago. With the ship somehow looking like how he left it, the villains head over to Sledge's ship and set everything into motion.

Lord Arcanon makes his entry to the rangers and Ben's team, with their introduction coming afterwards. It wasn't until Diamondhead throws some shards at them in order to prevent their behalf of destruction. With Lord Arcanon furious about Diamondhead's interference, he blasts him, who gets protected by Gwen's shield, and then casts a spell which smacks Lord Arcanon right into a brick wall.

Singe interferes as he fires some lasers at the team, with Diamondhead reflecting some, and Gwen casting another spell which causes some to hit directly at him. With Singe managing to dodge Gwen's attack, the rangers start to help by attacking Lord Arcanon's team. After getting slammed by Singe and whacked into a brick wall, Diamondhead transforms back into Ben, leaving this up to Kevin and Gwen while his Omnitrix had to finish recharging. Kevin touches the concrete floor and turns into the same material, forming blades for hands as he charged towards Singe, while Gwen was protecting herself in mana shields, protecting herself from Singe's blasts.

Lord Arcanon ends the battle by firing a huge blast which caused buildings to tumble and fall. In order to save people's lives, Ben slams the Omnitrix's faceplate and transforms into Humungousaur in order to prevent the building to collapse on innocent civilians. With Gwen and the rest distracted, Lord Arcanon and Singe uses this time to get away from the fight, as the fight comes to an end. The civilians get to safety while Humungousaur calls for Gwen's assistance, with her using her mana and grabbing the broken parts of the building. With that out of the way, and noticing that the foes have left, Humungousaur transforms back into Ben, with the rangers demorphing into their day-to-day clothes. Lord Arcanon and Singe head back into the forest after making an escape, unaware of Sledge's whereabouts. With Sledge's ship being exposed, they decide to enter under any circumstance.

Inside the ship was Sledge's team, as they prepare to attack as soon as Lord Arcanon and Singe arrive. Sledge threatens to destroy him again, but is interrupted by a request from Lord Arcanon. Unsure, Sledge takes his time to respond, in which Fury responds in anger that they're not allowed to join forces in case of betrayal. Furious about Fury's claim, Lord Arcanon promises that he will not double-cross Sledge's team. Obliged, Sledge accepts the offer granted by Lord Arcanon, thus ending part one of the episode.

## Noteworthy Events

* The majority of Ben's team, and the Dino Charge Power Rangers make their re-appearances, with the follow up of the antagonists, the zords and Ben's alien transformations, with the iconic Ben 10 and Dino Charge team reuniting in order to take down Sledge's team and Lord Arcanon's team, however, they're unaware about Sledge's revival.
* The gang reunite after the ending of the classic series if it were to have been ongoing and not cancelled due to lack of interest. Somehow, some evidence prove that the reboot is a continuation of the classic, with some evidence proving otherwise.

## Trivia

* After the events of *Power Rangers: Dino Super Charge*, Sledge and his team had been destroyed by the rangers 65 million years ago after going back in time after the destruction of the Earth. As Sledge and Lord Arcanon's factions are still alive, it is possible that they were the versions from an alternate reality where Sledge and Lord Arcanon had won.
* If this series wasn't the continuation of *Dino Charge/Dino Super Charge*, this series would have started during *Dino Super Charge*because of the existence of Lord Arcanon. Reasons for this are that Lord Arcanon was present before Sledge came back to life, similar to how that event happened in *Dino Super Charge*.
* Big Chill was originally intended to be in this episode, replacing Diamondhead, but the writer thought that Big Chill has had too many appearances in his previous shows, such as Ben 10: Omniverse and SuperNoobs, Ben 10: Into the Omniverse and Ben 10: Kyoryuger, who all have Big Chill as the most appeared alien.
* A minor misconception about Heckyl is that he's the Navy Blue/Dark Ranger after getting his hands on the Dark Energem. This would be true since Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger shows someone as the Dark Ranger, though there was no episode of Dino Charge which indicated the appearance of the Dark Ranger.
	+ The confirmation of Heckyl being the Navy Blue/Dark Ranger is shown in Hidden Secret, where he explains that he's the Dark Ranger to the rangers.
* Some of Ben's aliens, such as Diamondhead, Heatblast, Grey Matter and Wildmutt, will have the 10-year-old Ben versions. This is because there aren't any 16-year-old versions of the said aliens. However, most of Ben's aliens, such as Feedback, will be locked due to not having a realistic counterpart.
	+ Coincidentally, if this series were to have been a reboot of Ben 10: Kyoryuger, Diamondhead was the first alien used by Ben in both of those shows. Interestingly, these episodes both explain the arrival of Ben's team, except the reboot of the classic series was the re-entry.
* There were many names before *Return of the Dead: Part 1*such as Ready for Round Two, Phase Two and Return of the Tennyson Team. However, none of these made the cut due to rushing to get new episode titles before the creation of the first episode.
* It is possible for a potential return of a fellow enemy of Ben Tennyson's that might make his entry into Amber Beach, though it is unknown whether he might appear. If this is the case, it might also be possible for him to pick sides between Sledge and Lord Arcanon.
