* After the speech, Azmuth's coffin is lowered into the ground of the newly-built Azmuth Memorial Park.
* A few of the Galvans cry. Among them is Zennith, Azmuth's ex-girlfriend, who says she forgives Azmuth and blames herself for inhibiting his brilliance.

* Myaxx says she will stay on Galvan Mark II for a while to overlook the development of the Azmuth Museum.
* Tetrax decides to stay with her to help.
* On the way back to Earth, Ben's team talks about Azmuth for a while, before we flashback to the past; a week after Ben received the Omnitrix.
* In the flashback, Ben comes home late at night after battling crime.
* He slumps onto the bed and is about to go to sleep, but then Azmuth teleports in, asking Ben how the Omnitrix is.
* Ben says he should know since he monitors him through the Omnitrix.
* Azmuth asks Ben to humor him.
* Ben complains that that the Omnitrix keeps turning him into the wrong aliens.
* Azmuth says that using the Omnitrix properly requires patience.
* Ben says he needs to be able to turn into the alien he wants quickly in a fight.
* Azmuth replies that Ben will get used to the Omnitrix one way or another. He fills Ben with confidence by saying that he believes Ben is already on the path of his glorious future.
* He winks and teleports out.
* Ben looks at the ceiling and smiles as we transition back to the present.

* Ben asks him what it's like, to which he replies it's a lot of pressure, but he feels honored.
* Ben decides to follow Gwen and Kevin to the training room to watch them train.
* We cut to a dark alley, where a restaurant's busboy loads a bag of trash into the large trash bin. As he opens the lid, a few wasps fly out.
* The busboy throws the bag into the bin, just as a large swarm of wasps attack him. Clancy emerges from within the trash bin and walks past the busboy into the open as he summons more insects.
* The manager comes out of the restaurant and sees the busboy on the ground, unconscious. He looks at Clancy, then runs back in.
* Back at Plumber Headquarters, Gwen is training in a simulation, fighting "Charmcaster" in an abandoned street.
* Charmcaster uses Turbo to fire a blast of wind at Gwen, throwing her into the air.
* Gwen does a backflip in the air and uses Adfishio Potentia and fires beams of mana at Charmcaster.
* Gwen then runs towards her and uses Stingu Invisibus to break off large chunks of rock from the ground.
* The chunks hover around Charmcaster before almost crushing her, when the simulation ends.
* Ben comments on Gwen's brutal attacks, Gwen says it was just a simulation and she'd never do such a thing in real life.
* Ben is about to start his training, but gets a call from Max, who is driving in the Rust Bucket.
* Max tells him that Clancy was spotted outside of Pete Za's Pizza, and is heading east towards City Hall.
* Ben hangs up and the team gets ready to go.
* Cut to City Hall. Clancy, in his insect form, attacks the guards outside the building, then breaks in.
* Ben and co. arrive soon after in Kevin's car, then run into the building, right to Mayor Clint's office.
* Along the way, there are guards and city councilmen on the floor, covered in insect bites.
* Kevin calls the police as they make their way to the office.
* Gwen decides to stay along the halls to try and heal Clancy's victims.
* Clancy is about to enter the office, but Ben and Kevin arrive in time.
* Ben twists the dial and a hologram of Pick-a-Power pops up. He transforms into him.
* Not knowing how to use his powers, he is thrown out of the building through the roof by Clancy's insects. Kevin grabs the mayor and ushers him to safety as Clancy is fighting Pick-a-Power.
* Pick-a-Power is easily overpowered by Clancy.
* The Infinimatrix's voice command kicks in and informs Pick-a-Power that he can choose powers via roulette.
	+ His powers are divided into four categories: enhancements, mental, physical and manipulations, represented by red, blue, green and yellow.
	+ He can only use one category of power at a time.
* Pick-a-Power activates his manipulation powers and emits a pheromone to attract the insects, rendering Clancy powerless.

* The Infinimatrix tells Ben that Four Arms is one of the aliens who has an Ultimate form.
