What is Ben 10: Ultimate Alien About?
This series starts a few weeks after Ben 10: Alien Force ended. Ben Tennyson is now sixteen years old. His special watch, the Omnitrix, was destroyed. Now, Ben has a new, improved watch called the Ultimatrix. This new watch lets him turn his alien forms into even stronger "ultimate forms."
Ben's Secret is Out!
The show begins with a big change for Ben. A young internet detective named Jimmy Jones figures out Ben's secret identity. He tells the whole world that Ben is the alien hero! This makes some people love Ben, especially younger fans. But others, like news reporter Will Harangue, think Ben is a danger. Ben now has to fight bad guys while also dealing with being famous. He still works with his cousin Gwen and his friend Kevin Levin.
Fighting Aggregor
The first season of Ultimate Alien focuses on a villain named Aggregor. He is an Osmosian, an alien who can absorb powers. Aggregor kidnaps five powerful aliens from the Andromeda Galaxy. He wants to steal their special abilities. Ben and his team try to stop him, but Aggregor succeeds. He absorbs the aliens' powers, becoming super strong.
Ben learns from Azmuth, who created the Omnitrix and Ultimatrix, what Aggregor's plan is. Aggregor wants to find pieces of the Map of Infinity. This map can lead him to a place called the Forge of Creation. Aggregor plans to go there and steal the powers of a baby Celestialsapien. Celestialsapiens are god-like aliens who can change reality and time with their thoughts.
Aggregor reaches the Forge of Creation, and Ben's team follows him. They almost lose the fight. As a last chance, Kevin absorbs the powers from the Ultimatrix. He defeats Aggregor and takes his powers. But absorbing too much power makes Kevin go crazy. He becomes obsessed with getting more power. Ben tries to save Kevin, but it's hard. He even thinks about stopping Kevin for good. But with Gwen's help, they manage to remove Kevin's absorbed powers. This saves Kevin and brings the five Andromeda aliens back to life.
New Challenges and Villains
The second season has many different stories. In one episode, Ben's ultimate alien forms become alive! They try to escape the Ultimatrix by trapping Ben inside it. Ben decides to sacrifice himself so they can be free. But the Ultimatrix sees his bravery and frees both Ben and the ultimate forms.
Both the second and third seasons also focus on the Forever Knights. Their leader is Sir George, an ancient soldier. He is the source of the legend of Saint George and the Dragon. George wants to stop Dagon, a powerful energy being from another dimension. Dagon wants to return to Earth and control everyone's minds.
Sir George is killed, but Dagon is then absorbed by Ben's old enemy, Vilgax. Ben defeats Vilgax using George's sword. This sword was made by Azmuth and is strong enough to destroy planets. Ben is tempted to use the sword's power to get rid of all evil. But he resists the temptation and gives the sword back to Azmuth. Azmuth is very impressed by Ben's self-control. He tells Ben to give up the Ultimatrix. As a reward, Azmuth gives Ben a brand new Omnitrix. He says he's been working on it since Ben first got the original Omnitrix. Azmuth leaves, telling Ben to use the new Omnitrix wisely and always do the right thing.
