(By Muntasir)
Coward!
You can't hide from me!
I'm not hiding.
I'm making an entrance.
Tennyson!
Really, eon?
Attacking me all by yourself in
my own headquarters.
You call that a plan?
I don't need a plan to
defeat you.
And incidentally, I didn't come
alone.
Sure, it's all fun
and games until someone loses an
eye.
Any last words,
Tennyson?
I'm collecting them.
I've got two words
for you...
Ultimate Humungousaur!
Arcticguana!
But wait, there's more!
Heatblast!
Impressive.
In all my years hunting
alternate versions of you, I've
never met one with your
abilities.
Still, I shouldn't be surprised,
considering.
Considering what?
Why are you doing this, eon?
When we fought before, we...
That wasn't me,
Tennyson.
And soon, it won't have been
you.
I'm not just gonna
stand here and let you nail me
with that time-ray.
Clockwork!
That's right... I've got
time-traveling powers, too.
No!
Hello, Ben!
Good to see you,
Paradox.
Love how you don't show up till
it's all over.
It's far from over, old
friend.
It's barely begun.
I liked it better when
I used to drive.
We do seem to spend
less time together since
everybody got their licenses.
Well, consider this a
reunion.
Quality time, tracking
down the source of the mystery
transmission your ultimatrix
found.
It's either an
uncataloged alien or yet another
feature I can't figure out.
Or it's broken again.
Which way?
We're right on top of
it.
Creepy museum
basement.
Figures.
Whatever it is, it's got
to be in here.
There's probably a
crowbar around somewhere.
We already broke into
the museum.
What's the big deal?
Let's see what we've
got.
That's weird.
Are those magic symbols?
Not in any language I
know.
Ow!
How you doing back
there?
I've been better.
Spidermonkey!
Wow.
You learn that in karate school?
Saw it in an old movie.
Missed me.
But I left you a present
anyway.
Well, that's the last of 'em.
Whoever they are.
Oh, come on!
What's the big deal?
We b*at 'em.
They escaped, and we
don't know what they wanted or
even why the ultimatrix led us
to them.
But other than that...
Yeah. We won.
]] You didn't win, Benjamin.
Maybe you missed
it... bad guy, completely
vaporized.
]] Eon has not been destroyed.
You merely knocked him down your
own timeline.
Wait.
He said he's been traveling
cross-time.
Do you think he tricked me?
]] Into sending him into your
own past, in order to face you
when you were younger and less
powerful?
Yes.
I've got to do
something.
]] You already are.
Don't!
That's how they got out before.
I don't think so.
I'm getting a weird vibe off of
it, almost like I'm sensing my
own manna.
I'm gonna try a spell of
revelation.
Ostendo specialist.
That's us when we were
kids.
You did a spell to
show the past?
No.
It's just supposed to reveal
secrets.
Who's that?
I don't remember that happening.
Me either.
You okay?
Spell's broken.
I don't know why.
Maybe somebody erased
your memories, or... or, uh...
Or maybe it was time
travel and something happened
to change our history?
Good guess.
"Good guess"?
It's completely wrong.
Well, wrong but
clever.
Professor Paradox?
Hello, children!
Who's your friend?
Are you...
That's right, Ben.
I'm you, only even more awesome!
Ben , at your
service.
I heard about you.
You're the jerk from the future.
I'm a different
Ben , .
But I do remember going to that
future back when we were .
What a buzzkill that guy was.
You're my real future.
Yes, if nothing occurs to
change it.
That's why I've...Bent the rules
of time and brought you
together.
We're in trouble.
We've been in
tougher spots.
One time, when I was president
of earth...
Wait.
I'm gonna be president of earth?
Just long enough
to defeat the third Vilgaxian
invasion.
It turned out that Gwen was
better at the day-to-day stuff.
You're a shoo-in for a second
term, red.
Really?
Spoiler alert, Benjamin.
Let the children discover their
own futures...
If indeed they survive the
present thr*at.
We should take this along.
It's the source of our
difficulties.
Okay. All strapped in.
You sure about this?
We're headed to the middle of
nowhere.
One only hopes it's far
enough.
Nothing ever makes
sense when you're around.
That's a fair criticism.
Which still doesn't
explain how Ben met himself in
the future, but it wasn't this
guy.
You traveled into cross-time.
Like a parallel world?
Exactly.
That's why the me in the
future didn't remember it
happening to him before.
But you remember all of
this.
Yeah, I do.
Okay, don't do that
again.
As Gwen guessed, cross-time
is made up of parallel versions
of the history we know.
There are hundreds of them... a
world where Gwen found the
Omnitrix, a world where albedo
turned to alien x and was
trapped motionless for nearly a
year, a world where you didn't
have to destroy the Omnitrix to
defeat Vilgax.
Et cetera.
Ad infinitum.
These worlds are all every bit
as real as our own, but they
cannot... must not... be allowed
to leak into ours.
Which brings us to
our problem.
The hand of armageddon.
Very good, Ben.
It's a cross-time gateway,
existing in many worlds.
You saw into one
of them with your spell.
Wait a minute.
If you remember that, if you
remember this whole adventure,
what's the problem?
If you're me years from now,
we can't lose.
Because I'm you
years from now, if we lose,
the future ceases to be.
If you could speed up,
Kevin...
Wow, nobody ever asks
me to go faster.
It's just that a
cross-chronal warp is opening up
nearby.
In the cargo bay?
I'm afraid so.
I'll see you good people on the
ground...Probably.
Not a good sign.
I figured we were toast
as soon as Paradox left.
What do they want?
To crash us.
Yeah. No.
The one time I wanted rath!
What are you guys
doing back there?
You better not be messin' up my
ride!
Keep the ninjas
away from Kevin.
I'll be right back.
Where are you going?
Thought I'd step
outside.
Outside.
Jetray!
Whoa. Twice in one day.
Or was it...Twice in years?
The ninjas disappeared
as soon as we b*at them.
Yeah.
They do that.
You just landed a
spaceship.
From the outside.
Don't forget the cool part.
How do you do all that
without transforming?
I haven't bothered
to for years.
Not since I discovered my best
transformation.
Ultimate Ben?
What power comes with
that?
Pretty much all of
them.
You'll figure it out someday.
Yeah, great.
So, why did we fly the hand of
Armadoohickey all the way into
the desert?
]] To destroy it.
The ninjas work for a being
named eon, a creature from the
cross-time earth Gwen showed you
with her spell.
Eon was defeated
by the Ben of that world when he
destroyed their version of the
hand.
]] That Ben believed eon was
destroyed as well, but he
wasn't.
He was instead thrown out of
that reality and into
cross-time.
Since then, he's
been moving from one parallel
earth to the next, taking down
every Ben he can find.
Why?
]] We don't know.
But we do know that he needs
an operational hand of
armageddon to enter our world.
So we're gonna bust
it.
]] We're going to destroy the
hand throughout space and
time... every version.
Why don't you just do
it with your time-travel powers?
]] There are rules, Kevin.
I cannot interfere.
Excuse me, but aren't
you already interfering?
]] Touché.
Actually, I've just come to give
young Ben a warning, but that
can wait.
Until what?
]] Until I see if you survive.
Ready?
Ready.
Way big!
]] Shield us...lf you can.
Is that supposed to be
happening?
]] No. I've been deceived.
Stop! Stop!
He's using your power to open a
breach!
I'm free.
Not for long!
Eon irradiated way big with
accelerated time.
I'm afraid he's gone.
So is any other
transformation he hits with that
beam.
Be careful, Ben.
He's the one who better
be careful.
Swampfire!
Ultimate
swampfire!
Take them down hard!
Accelerate!
Tennyson.
Prepare to die.
Maybe
later.
Where...
Right
behind you.
How about you explain yourself?
Why att*ck me over and over?
Our paths are
intertwined, in this and every
other timeline.
It's over.
Give it your best
sh*t, eon.
Diamond doesn't particularly
age.
I came here to destroy
your younger self, but plans can
change.
Contego!
You hang around an anodite for
years, you pick up a few
tricks.
Weird that they don't
talk.
Probably just to
intimidate us.
Maybe.
Makes me curious, though.
Then let's take a look.
Statua!
It's gonna be
creepy.
I bet they don't even have
mouths.
Or something worse.
Ben...
Get over here!
This raises some
questions.
Yeah.
Like, where did you learn
Ninjitsu?
You've discovered our
secret.
You're not
destroying Ben Tennysons.
You're absorbing them.
I feed on their power
and make them my slaves.
When I absorb you, I'll finally
have the strength to replace
this timeline with a new one...
Where I will be the only
Ben Tennyson that exists.
I won't allow that, eon.
You cannot interfere,
time-Walker, and you know why.
True.
But should you dare proceed,
there is nowhere in all of space
and time you can hide from me.
I'll burn that bridge
when I come to it.
Now, I have a couple of
Ben Tennysons to absorb.
Eon didn't come through
the hand of armageddon... he
came from our watches.
And the whole
fight, he's been leading us away
from it.
Hold him off.
I got something to break.
Jetray!
No!
There he is!
Not so loud.
I'm trying to sleep.
Then sleep soundly in the
knowledge that eon is no more
and that all of the
cross-time worlds with which he
interfered will shortly return
to normal.
You knew this was going
to happen.
It happened to you before.
Eon had messed up
the timelines so bad.
I wasn't entirely sure I hadn't
ended up in a parallel world.
I can confirm that this is
the original timeline.
But the cost of victory was
high.
Young Ben lost way big and both
Swampfires today.
If only there were some way to
restore them...
Yeah, okay.
I get it.
I'll put them back on your
playlist.
While you're at it, how
about giving me master control?
Nice try, but I'm
already in enough trouble with
Azmuth.
There you go... I just unlocked
everything you've ever become up
until now.
Really? Thanks!
I also threw in a
few new ones...Because it'll
annoy Azmuth when he finds out.
Time to go.
But first, a warning to my young
friends.
Beware old George.
Beware the creature from beyond.
So long!
What did he mean by
that?
Who knows?
I never understand what he's
saying.
I just tune him out.
Whatever the problem is,
I've got ultimatrix to spare.
It is so hero time!
