Ben 10: Ultimate Alien – The Forgotten Nexus
Episode Synopsis:
Ben Tennyson, Gwen, and Kevin are alerted to a mysterious phenomenon in a small, isolated town called Nexusville. Reports indicate strange energy spikes and sightings of bizarre alien creatures. The trio suspects it might be linked to a forgotten section of the Omnitrix’s database, which contains ancient alien DNA never before unlocked.
Part 1: The Signal
The episode begins with Ben receiving a distress signal on his Omnitrix while hanging out with Gwen and Kevin. The Omnitrix starts displaying strange symbols, ones even Azmuth, its creator, has never seen before.
Kevin's modified car zooms into Nexusville, where they discover the town encased in an eerie, glowing dome of energy. The locals are trapped in a state of suspended animation, their forms flickering between human and alien.
Ben tries to investigate but is attacked by an unknown alien species. Transforming into Ultimate Echo Echo, Ben fends them off but notices they seem familiar. Gwen’s mana detects the energy source is tied to a long-lost interdimensional hub called the “Forgotten Nexus,” rumored to be a bridge between ancient alien civilizations.
Part 2: Unlocked DNA
While exploring, Ben’s Omnitrix glows brightly, unlocking a new alien transformation: Chronosaur, a time-bending reptilian creature with the ability to manipulate time streams briefly. With Chronosaur, Ben learns the Nexus was once a thriving city where alien species exchanged knowledge, but it was sealed off after a catastrophic experiment involving dimensional rifts.
A sentient AI named Xycron, once the Nexus’s guardian, reveals that the rifts are reactivating due to residual Omnitrix energy left from when Ben first acquired the device. Xycron blames Ben for destabilizing the Nexus and unleashes a series of ancient alien beasts to test his worthiness.
Part 3: The Nexus Core
As Ben battles through trials, Gwen discovers that the Nexus core is malfunctioning and will implode unless stabilized. Kevin, using his absorbing powers, tries to shield the group from dimensional fluctuations, but the power overload begins to affect him, turning him partially alien.
Ben transforms into Ultimate Way Big to fend off a gigantic alien guardian, but the Omnitrix unexpectedly glitches, reverting him mid-battle. Forced to improvise, he relies on teamwork with Gwen and Kevin to subdue the creature.
Part 4: A New Legacy
Xycron, impressed by Ben’s perseverance, reveals that the Nexus wasn’t destabilized by the Omnitrix alone—it was sabotaged by Vilgax, who sought to harness its interdimensional power. Though Vilgax is absent, his influence looms large, as he has set traps to prevent anyone from repairing the core.
Using Chronosaur’s time-manipulating abilities and Gwen’s mana, the group rewinds the Nexus’s timeline to a stable point, saving the town and its people. Xycron entrusts Ben with a fragment of the Nexus's energy, warning him that Vilgax’s plan may involve the revival of more ancient alien technologies.
Epilogue
As the trio leaves Nexusville, Ben reflects on the responsibility that comes with wielding the Omnitrix. The episode ends with the Omnitrix glowing faintly, hinting at new transformations yet to be discovered.
