A Hack in the System

**A Hack in the System** is the sixth episode of *Ben 23: Omniverse*.

## Plot

The episode begins at night, the lamppost lights flickering on and off, with the setting being outside an abandoned Max's Plumbing due to Max's death taking a toll on the establishment. The camera transitions to the Plumbers, who were all busy with their duties, with the inclusion of Rook, Blukic, Driba, Molly Gunther, and even Ben 23, who was just playing games on his phone, before being called in by the two Galvan dumb geniuses for some weapon testing. Ben 23 transforms into Rollaway as Blukic and Driba would begin the weapon testing.

Blukic and Driba would then start arguing, with Rollaway facepalming, not knowing that a shadowy figure races past and enters the main power room. The figure is then revealed to be Albedo, as he would use his enhanced intelligence to hack the grid, causing the security gates to be locked shut, as well as all the security systems being offline. The camera cuts to Rollaway acting shocked when Blukic and Driba announce that the Plumber HQ had been hacked, but they didn't know who caused it. Rollaway finds the door being locked, so they couldn't get out. But as soon as coming up with the idea to burst the door open, and getting ready to do so, Rollaway transforms back into Ben 23, as Ben 23 smacks into the door. Ben 23 is suggested to go through the doors as he would transform into Invisibilizard, phasing through the doors by turning intangible.

The Merlinisapien meets up with Rook after phasing through more doors, as the Revonnahgander would try and get the lights online, to no avail. Cables were torn out of their sockets as soon as Invisibilizard checked, so he switches into Brainfrog as he goes inside to repair them. As soon as he finished, the lights turned on, as he transforms back. Soon after, Ben 23 tells Rook to stay put, as he would go and investigate. Rook obliges to Ben 23 plan as Ben 23 would ask Fistina to give him a lift so he could crawl through the vents. With Ben 23 crawling through the vents, he finds Albedo continuing to disable the Plumber databases as Ben 23 jumps down, catching him in the act. Albedo would flee the scene as Ben 23 chases after him. Suggesting he'd transform into Speedyquick, Ben 23 transforms into Glass Guy instead, having to come up with a second plan to slow him down.

Albedo takes a shortcut as Glass Guy would not be able to find him. However, Glass Guy goes up, making his way to the highest part of the HQ, seeing Albedo as he creates a platform to stand on before firing crystal projectiles at him. Albedo would soon transform into Swampfire, throwing fire balls in the Petrosapien's direction, who manages to cast a wall of diamonds to shield himself. Swampfire would jump out of the window as he'd throw seeds to trap Glass Guy in a tanglement of vines, before he falls, until flying towards Glass Guy by using his fire as propulsion. Glass Guy breaks free from the vine trap as Swampfire would lose balance, subsiquently falling before having to quick change into someone who can fly. As soon as Glass Guy transforms back into Ben 23 who was trying to catch his breath, Albedo swoops in as Ampfibian, stretching his tentacles as they wrap around Ben 23, electrocuting him, unintentionally transforming Ben 23 into Fright Face. Both Albedo and Ben 23 were unfamiliar with this alien, as Ben 23 had to figure out what he does. After many attempts to find out about his powers, Fright Face's cage eventually opens up, draining the colours from Albedo's Amperi transformation as he was frightened. Ampfibian tries to escape the horror as he smacks into a wall, transforming back into Albedo, who was then taken by Fistina and her rocket powered gauntlets, as Rook runs in, telling Ben 23 that the hacked systems had been dealt with.

The camera transitions to Plumber HQ, with everyting back to normal. Ben 23 tells Rook about Fright Face and how he managed to scare Albedo into getting apprehended by Fistina. Ben 23 would then plan to not use Fright Face much since he believes it is too overpowered, as the episode ends with Rook asking if he wanted him to take Ben 23 to his penthouse, as they walk to the Proto-TRUK.
