Return of the Dead: Part 2

**Return of the Dead: Part 2** is the second episode of Ben 10: The Charge of the Dino (Reboot). This episode marks the first reappearance of five Ben transformations, Snide, Vivix, the Navy Blue/Dark ranger, Badussa and Spellbinder. This episode marks the first reappearances of the Raptor Zord, the Para Zord and the T-Rex Zord, along with the Dino Charge Megazord: Para-Raptor formation.

## Plot

The episode starts off where the previous episode left off, with Lord Arcanon and Sledge forming an alliance to take down the rangers. Fury grows suspicious against Lord Arcanon and Singe, but decides not to investigate in fear of getting caught.

Ben and Gwen were training out on the main road, with no cars driving past due to Amber Beach being less busy during these hours. With Gwen throwing a mana disk at Ben which hits him, Ben transforms into Heatblast and throws a fireball towards her direction.

After spending roughly five minutes worth of training, Heatblast transforms back into Ben and heads back to the Dinosaur Zoo with Gwen, as Kevin was modifying his car; his car had a flat tire due to their arrival from a few hours ago. Ben and Gwen head inside after Kevin claims that he was currently busy.

Kendall Morgan puts her belongings back into the Dino Charge base, with the other nine rangers putting their Energems into their charging stations. Keeper explains that he is glad that their heroing business is back online. Ben and Gwen arrive later on as the rangers were discussing whether Lord Arcanon isn't working alone.

With Kendall explaining the rangers' new timetable about their working hours, Ben's Omnitrix starts flashing, tracking down something interesting. Ben leaves without any suspicion and finds himself in contact with Heckyl's other half, Snide. Ben asks about Snide's overall mischievous schemes, when suddenly, Snide throws the first punch, resulting on Ben to transform into Four Arms.

Snide and Four Arms began throwing punches at one another, with Four Arms grabbing Snide's forearm and slamming him into a brick wall. Snide was unaffected by this as he draws out his sword, sparking with electric energy. With Snide swinging his sword, Four Arms is knocked by the pressure of Snide's last swing. Four Arms transforms back into Ben and quickly dodges Snide's next attack. As Ben dodged Snide's attack, Snide's cut on the wall created an explosion which sent Ben further down as he started rolling on the floor in defeat.

With the rangers finally noticing Ben's absence, they head outside to find themselves in contact with Snide, and a defeated Ben Tennyson. Snide explains how he managed to survive being destroyed by the Megazords used to end Snide's life, or so what the rangers thought. Snide laughs and claims that their plan had been pathetic since the beginning. With the rangers furious at how their plan failed to become successful, they began to fight Snide out of their suits.

Snide immediately stood against this and fought back, with the rangers dodging his light attacks, with a heavy attack swung at them. Gwen throws a mana disc at Snide which results on him approaching Gwen with his huge sword. Gwen casts a spell in which huge vines start protruding out of the ground, trapping Snide as he was not able to move. Snide breaks free a few moments after and tackles Gwen who proceeds to use her mana to form shields to protect herself from his attacks. The rangers finally began to morph and continue to take down Snide, with Ben getting up, finding the rangers charging at Snide who was busy trying to take down Gwen. Ben dials the Omnitrix and transforms into Rocks as he began charging after Snide with the rangers.

Meanwhile, inside Sledge's ship, Sledge and Poisandra were arguing about their newly made wedding plans; with their plans getting cut short by Fury's recent information about Snide being alive. Furious to know about the backstabber's return, he commands the appearance of Badussa. Badussa accepts the offer granted by Sledge, and is requested to take some Vivix with him. Sledge insists on new information given Fury as soon as Badussa left.

Ben comes in contact with Keeper who asks about Snide's potential revival, with Ben not knowing the information. With Heckyl already knowing about Snide coming back to life, he entrusts Keeper to give Ben the help and guidance by the rangers, who were busy working in the Dino Bite café. Chase was busy cooking away, with Riley standing next to him, doing the same task. With Tyler serving the food, Shelby cleans up a table, while Ivan and Koda were busy performing other tasks in the kitchen. Chase wraps his arm around Riley's waist as he began to lean Riley closer.

Somewhere in Amber Beach, Heckyl and Ben were busy walking in the forest, until Badussa arrives with a pack of Vivix. Heckyl tells Ben to transform, in which Ben dials the Omnitrix and transforms into Wildmutt. With Wildmutt having no sense of sight, but a good sense of smell, Wildmutt attacks Badussa who claims that Wildmutt is impossible to turn into stone. Wildmutt defeats Badussa while the Vivix began to chase after Heckyl.

With Wildmutt finishing off Badussa, Wildmutt transforms back into Ben and searches for Heckyl. Ben comes across a bunch of defeated Vivix, and a navy blue Ranger. Ben shouts to get its attention, but the ranger makes an escape. Ben jumps out of his skin when Heckyl put his hand on Ben's shoulder.

Back in Sledge's ship, Lord Arcanon was discussing a plan to end the rangers. With Badussa returning to the ship, looking like he'd been run over by a lorry, Sledge comes up with a new plan. Sledge commands the appearance of Spellbinder, an extremely old foe to the rangers, and soon to be new foe to Ben.

At the Dino Bite cafe, Ben and Heckyl has returned and explained to Kendall that Badussa had ambushed them. Doing this, some of the rangers were panicking, while Chase and Riley didn't seem too bothered. With Kendall racing in, telling them about Spellbinder, they transform and head off to battle, Ben dials the Omnitrix but is quickly halted by the rangers. Annoyed by this, Ben transforms into Goop, while Spellbinder approaches them. Having no knowledge on Spellbinder, Goop remained confused while the rangers began to attack, leaving Goop standing around, confused.

After countless blasts fired from their Dino Morphers, Spellbinder makes an escape, as the rangers transform back, following along was Goop as he transformed back into Ben. Tyler exclaims that Spellbinder would potentially return if necessary, while Chase and Riley held hands as they all walk back to the cafe in the zoo; Ben still questions the vision he had with the Navy Blue/Dark Ranger, and how he assumes it was Heckyl.

The cafe had closed after the work put in for hours on end, the rangers and Ben were tired from the countless hours working. Ben insists on collapsing on the floor, while Kendall walks in and tells them they have the day off the next day due to maintenance work. Confused, Shelby attempts to debunk Kendall's claim by counter-arguing, claiming that the maintenance was perfectly fine, to which Tyler agrees. Kendall checks the maintenance to find it up and running and refutes her statement. Kendall still gave them the day off, so they all went home as a result.

The rangers woke up the next day and drunk coffee from a coffee shop near from where they live, while Ben was still resting his head back at his newly bought apartment. Tyler and Shelby ask the others if they'd like to hang out at a nearby park, while Chase and Riley explain that Chase is helping Riley on skateboarding. Shelby accepts the statement and asks Koda, who accepts the favour as the three went off to a nearby park, while Chase and Riley went off to a skatepark not too far from Tyler and the rest.

At the skatepark, Riley was on Chase's skateboard as he attempts to skate on it for the first time, he unintentionally slips as he falls, with Chase catching him. Chase guides Riley on his second attempt, by holding onto his hand. Sadly, Riley loses balance again, and slips off. Riley claims that he's not worthy of skating on a skateboard, while Chase comes up with an idea. Whilst on the third attempt, Chase was holding onto Riley's waist, as Riley took off, fearing if he ever fell off. Miraculously, Riley doesn't fall, as Chase managed to let go, giving Riley the opportunity to retain his balance, while Riley was busy skating around. Realising his mistake, Chase had forgotten to teach Riley how to stop, as Riley smacks into a nearby tree. They both laugh it off, whilst Chase runs in to lift Riley from the ground, and to pick up his skateboard. They both laugh again about what happened.

Suddenly, a massive Spellbinder arrives after being blasted with the Magna Beam. With the two lovebirds looking up in shock, they summon their zords. At the park nearby, Tyler finds the huge Spellbinder, as he, Shelby and Koda head on over to find Chase and Riley with their summoned zords. Tyler activates the Dino Charge Megazord, Para-Raptor formation after awakening his T-Rex zord. Tyler and the other four are transported into the Megazord as they prepare for battle.

Spellbinder starts blasting the Megazord, while it started dodging, though it had to be careful due its massive size. Surprisingly, Ben had awoken from his slumber as he finds the Megazord directly outside his apartment window. Ben attempts access, asking to join the fight, to no avail. Tyler exclaims that he'll explain the details later, while Ben heads off to the cafe to work. Spellbinder uses this to his advantage by swinging his arm at the Megazord, as the rangers from inside the cockpit began to fall. After regaining their balance, Riley and Chase insist of using their powers to combat Spellbinder, to which Tyler grants them access.

Riley activates his power by using the Raptor Claw to scratch Spellbinder, who attempts to retaliate, giving Chase time to blast him with his Para Chopper. Shelby and Koda insist on using their final attack, on which they all agree in exchange, they fire up their cannon, as they blast Spellbinder, who sparks with energy, before plummeting to his defeat, finally exploding into pieces. They all celebrate their victory, while Chase and Riley both share a warm hug, celebrating their own way.

Just about 15 minutes after their battle, the cafe was closed after Ben covered their shifts, so they could spend time with each other again. The five thank Ben who in return gives them a high five on their victory.

Another time spent at the park for the five rangers. They were all grateful of Ben covering their shifts while they were off fighting Spellbinder. It wasn't until Kendall arrived minutes later and tells them that their shift wasn't finished, since Ben had to help Gwen and Kevin. With the rangers forming a line vertically, they all look at her in annoyance, as they head back to work, ending the episode.

## Trivia

* Despite originally intending to be locked inside of the Omnitrix, Four Arms appeared. Four Arms was given the second episode to explain that most live action aliens are Race Against Time counterparts, such as Heatblast and Diamondhead, although Four Arms did not appear in Race Against Time.
* Snide appearing after being presumed dead was a good concept to show the rangers' plan on defeating Snide becoming a failure. However, there were many failures as in which the villains manage to survive, but Snide's was the first to ever come back from the dead, and not come out of a teleportation device, linking to both Sledge and Lord Arcanon's revivals.
* The Navy Blue/Dark ranger makes his appearance. With Ben and Heckyl being the only heroes present, Ben would have easily known the identity of the ranger, however, if Ben were to know, he'd refuse to tell anybody else until they know through a different way.
