You have failed!
You had four opportunities
to stop Aggregor from
reassembling the map of infinity,
each time he bested you.
While you're doing the recap
you may wanna mention
all the good we did while
we were chasing him.
Yeah. We helped a lot of people.
Trivialities.
While you did it about
saving mere planets
Aggregor obtained the means
to travel to the forge of creation
and obtain the greatest
power in the universe!
It does sound bad when
you put it that way.
We can still stop him.
Tell us how to get there.
I don't know where it is!
That was the whole point of
hiding it!
All is lost.
You've got a plan.
I've got a
transformation that can find the
forge of creation and stop
Aggregor.
Ben, are you sure you
want to...
I need the keys... both
of you.
What is this?
Ben had me build a
security system into the
ultimatrix.
Didn't want albedo to
ever get access to this one.
Or worse, to
accidentally change into it in
the middle of a fight.
Do it.
Transformation lockout
overridden.
Transformation now
available.
Alien X!
It could work.
Alien X can do anything.
Only if Ben can
convince Alien X to cooperate.
Yep.
That's all he has to do.
Ben Tennyson.
Motion to greet our honored
guest and hear him out.
Motion denied.
Motion to ignore him for a
thousand years, at which point
we set him on fire for a second
thousand years.
Belicus, vengeance is not our
way.
Vengeance is absolutely my
way.
I know he hurt your feelings
when he abandoned us.
He hurt mine, too.
Yeah, I'm totally sorry.
I need your power to save...
I don't care!
We have to vote on it.
Point of order!
We don't have to do anything
unless we both agree.
This is bigger than you
and me.
The whole universe is at stake.
And...?
You're being obstinate, dear.
Am not.
Are too.
Am not!
Are too.
Am not!
Are too...
Hello!
Professor paradox?
You will not convince Serena
and belicus to help you... not
today.
Am not!
Are t...
timewalker!
You are not welcome here!
Agreed.
Resolved... punish paradox for
ignoring the treaty between him
and the celestial sapiens race.
Seconded!
I'm not supposed to go within
light-years of them.
Resolved... destroy
Professor paradox.
It's time to leave.
But I have to convince
them to...
you made me change back?
You want to go to the forge
of creation.
I'm here to take you there.
How? It's hidden.
True, but I'm the one who hid
it.
This has gone far enough,
paradox!
Has it?
Granted, he achieved far more
than I'd believed possible, but
trusting that boy with the
omnitrix was a grave mistake.
Not a mistake.
You know the reasons why.
Yes.
You told me of his grand
destiny... that he was the
legendary being who will
someday...
shhh! No spoilers.
For that glorious future to
occur, we must first survive the
current crisis.
It's too much!
The child cannot win this time.
And I say he can.
Won't it be fun to find out
who's right?
You guys want to stop
talking about me like I'm not
here?
What he said.
We're gonna do this.
You gonna help?
You can start by
telling us what the forge of
creation is.
It is the source of the
universe's greatest power.
It's where ideas become real.
The forge of creation is
where celestial sapiens, like
Alien X, are born.
It sounds beautiful.
Anyway, it doesn't
sound like a problem.
Aggregor intends to absorb
the abilities of a newborn
celestial sapien.
Should he succeed, he will
become omnipotent.
Okay, that sounds like a
problem.
I believe that with the help
of your friends, you can stop
this.
Will you try?
You have to ask?
If we're going to get there
in time, we'll have to have
already left.
Off we go.
Where are we?
There's nothing on my
instruments.
Understandable.
There's nothing outside, either.
You see that faint glow in the
distance?
A star?
Actually, it's the universe.
We're in the space beyond.
Then what's that?
That is the next universe
over.
I don't like it at all.
The physics are terribly
counterintuitive.
Wait.
I thought the universe was
everything.
A common error of the
parochial mind.
There's always more to reality
than one imagines.
Ah. We've arrived.
Full stop.
Relative to what?
Excellent point, actually.
I still don't see
anything.
That's because it's enclosed
by a chronal randomization
barrier.
It is out of sync with all time
and, without the map of
infinity, totally inaccessible.
Unless, of course, you're me.
Inside this hidden nebula is the
birthplace of a bouncing baby
Alien X.
And while it is a truly adorable
creature...
We can't let aggregor
touch it.
Let's do this.
This is as far as I can go.
With all your powers,
why don't you just, like, snap
your fingers or something and
fix all this?
You could go back in
time and stop aggregor before he
gets the map.
If only it were that simple.
There are places I cannot go and
things I cannot do.
But Ben can?
I've opened a portal through
the barrier and arranged for
life support.
While inside, you will not need
air, nor will you feel
discomfort from heat or cold.
Then we can't be k*lled?
You most certainly can.
A fact aggregor will be
attempting to prove as soon as
he becomes aware you're here.
Hey!
How are we supposed to find
the...
Never mind. Found the nebula.
You hit something?
Something hit us.
Get off of me!
We're wedged in!
Terraspin!
Get off of him!
Nice!
Aggregor's already here.
We've got to get moving.
We're not going
anywhere.
We're stuck.
So let's get unstuck.
This is weird.
We shouldn't be able to breathe
out here.
There's a big hole in
the rust bucket.
We shouldn't be able to breathe
in there, either.
It's no use.
How about I just turn
into something strong enough to
shove it through... waybig,
or...
Ben!
Dude, you okay?
That was weird.
I think I saw something...Moving
in there.
You have to be more
careful.
Paradox told us not to touch the
time field.
I do see something
moving in there.
Not something.
Someone.
I'm Ben Tennyson.
Do I know you?
You look sort of...Familiar.
First day with your new lips?
Talk! Who are you?
Why did you bring me here?
I didn't bring you
here... exactly.
You've got one more chance to
start making sense, or I'm
taking you apart!
Calm down.
This is complicated.
There's been some sort of
time-travel accident.
That's how you want to play
it?
Fine.
Just let me try and
explain.
Don't make me hurt you, okay?
Ow! You little...
Watch your language, Tennyson.
He's just a kid.
Kevin ?
I'm not anymore,
but...Yeah.
Not smart, Kevin.
He thinks you're still evil.
I'm not evil.
I'm nuanced.
Whatever you're trying to
pull, Levin, it's not gonna
work.
It's hero time.
Little juvenile
delinquent!
Try and set me on fire?
You're right.
I've got a better idea.
Kevin!
Who's next?
Since you need to cool
off, I vote big chill.
N.R.G.!
Can I catch a break?
I'll break
something for you.
Be careful, Ben!
It's dangerous out here!
Not as dangerous
as me.
I can see that.
You think I'm afraid of you?
Remarkably, no.
Look at me, Ben.
You recognized Kevin.
You must know who I am.
Dweeb!
What happened to you?
Puberty.
You have traveled in
time.
That's Gwen. That's Kevin.
And...I'm you.
Please.
I would never turn into anything
that lame.
I'm you... six years
later.
And Kevin is a good guy now.
Things change, Ben.
They don't change that much.
I got my eye on you.
I'm quaking in my
boots, pip-squeak.
Maybe if I touch the
time field again, it'll send him
home.
Or it'll make a
-year-old you to add to the
set.
Awesome!
So not awesome.
Guess we'll let paradox
sort this out after.
After what?
We're still stuck.
No problemo.
I'm all recharged.
Hey. How'd you do that?
You should always keep
it locked.
You...Took a bite out
of my ship!
It's not like I put the first
dent in it.
Anyway, you can always go out
and steal another one.
Did I really use to be
that obnoxious?
Use to be?
Celestial sapiens spend
almost all of their time
debating.
It takes a lot to get their
attention, and that's fine.
We don't want it.
Why not?
They could just blink,
and we'd be gone.
So let's be quiet.
We don't want to disturb them.
How can we breathe with no
air?
Where's grandpa Max?
If this is the future, does
everybody have jet packs?
Who won the last five
world series?
Seriously, though, where are the
jet packs?
Ben! No more sugar.
Give.
I don't have any.
Thank you.
Your butt is huge.
What did you say?
He said, "your butt
is"...
I heard him!
It was just an observation.
You were trying to hurt
my feelings.
How'd I do, big butt?
You know, I'd almost
forgotten what a jerk you used
to be.
It's not your fault, dweeb.
With a butt that big, you
probably aren't getting enough
blood to your brain.
Where do you get off
talking to your friends like
that?
I'm years old.
What's your excuse?
Everything's not a
game.
What we do is important.
If you can't see that, maybe you
are just a kid.
You think I don't know?
When it's hero time, if I mess
up, somebody could die.
Mess up this time, everybody
could die.
That's right.
Maybe that's too much to have
in your head when you have to
win.
Maybe if I pretend everything's
a big joke, when the time comes,
I'll be able to do what I have
to do.
Is that why you're so
arrogant all the time... because
you're scared?
No.
I'm actually oblivious.
Dumb.
Lame.
Weak.
Guess this one's okay.
How'd you break the omnitrix,
again?
I didn't break it,
exactly.
I...
are we there yet?
Yeah. I think we are.
What's that in her
hands?
A baby Alien X.
Where do baby Alien X's come
from?
When two
constellations love each other
very much...
Kevin!
Just trying to help
the kid out.
I had to learn about
astrophysics on the streets.
We're hit!
Take us down!
That's where we're
going.
The engines are out.
Move! I'll land it!
Sit!
Sitting.
I was going
for upgrade.
I was going for big chill.
How much
stronger do I get when I'm
older?
A lot.
Incoming!
I can't imagine how
you managed to b*at me here,
Tennyson, but it doesn't matter.
I'm going to k*ll you and take
the ultimate prize.
And they say
i talk too much.
Your manna att*cks
can't touch me.
Leave her
alone!
It's over,
Tennyson.
All of your friends have fallen.
Can't fight
him like this.
Should have picked a flier.
Not a bad idea.
Stinkfly?
How did you...?
You'll learn how
to do it later.
Give me some cover!
Swampfire!
Ultimate
Plant guy?
That's just a copy of wildvine.
Sure.
Remember the time wildvine did
this?
And now the
ultimate power is mine.
It's timed out!
Wake up! You can still stop him!
What?
You can absorb my omnitrix,
like you did before.
You'll have all my powers.
No.
If I'm gonna do this, I'd better
go with the "a" game.
Finally.
The universe at my fingertips.
Hands off the
baby!
Levin?
Remember when
you told me our people's laws
against absorbing energy were
lies to control the weak?
Let's see
who's weak after I take your
powers, too.
That's enough, Kevin!
When I finish
him, then it'll be enough!
That's not you talking!
Absorbing energy makes osmosians
lose control!
Yeah?
Well, I like being out of
control.
Maybe I should absorb the
Alien X power for myself.
I can't let you do that,
Kevin!
You can't
st me, either!
I deserve that power.
I'm the one who gets turned
into a monster.
I'm the one nobody ever trusts
or cares about.
That's not true!
Face it,
Gwen... whatever I look like,
I'm a freak!
You're a jerk.
You've always been a jerk.
People try to be nice to you,
but you can't ever see it.
You're too busy feeling sorry
for yourself.
Maybe I'll try it your way, kid.
At least for today.
But tomorrow...
Kevin!
He's crazier than he was
before.
A problem for another day.
Today, you've saved the
universe, and it's time to go
home.
Particularly you, my impetuous
young friend.
I'm gonna forget everything
that happened, aren't I?
I mean, he doesn't remember.
You'll think it was a dream.
But one day, you'll remember it
dimly and trust Kevin when you
shouldn't, and he'll respond to
that trust and help save the
universe.
And then turn evil
again.
The story isn't over, Ben.
When the moment comes, you'll do
what needs to be done.
That is your great gift.
Goodbye, Ben.
Try being nicer to your cousin.
Why'd you have to go do that?
We must also take our
leave... before the locals take
notice of my presence.
What about Kevin?
Don't worry, Gwen.
I'll take care of him.
