He tells them that since Ben's identity is revealed some of his old enemies are returning for revenge and hunting down his family. Now Ben, Gwen, and Kevin have to protect Ben's parents at all costs. Meanwhile, another one of Ben's enemies, Zombozo, has teamed up with Charmcaster, Vulkanus, and Sevenseven to get their revenge on Ben. Zombozo buried someones remains and now plans on targeting Ben's dad, Carl.

Zombozo, Charmcaster, and Vulkanus flattens Carl's tire to keep him, But soon Ben (who has forgotten about Zombozo) and his friends arrive and battle the villains. Ben manages to defeat them as Swampfire and save his dad without him knowing it. Zombozo then targets Ben's mom again at Mr. Smoothy's and attacks her and Gwen, who was trying to protect her, and kidnaps Sandra.

Kevin manages to defeat Charmcaster and her rock minions while Ben defeats Vulkanus and his pick-axe army as Ultimate Big Chill. Sandra is trapped on a tight-rope strapped with two bombs. Gwen soon gets angry that Zombozo is trying to cruelly cause Sandra's death she goes into her Anodite form and begins growing to giant size while threatening him to leave the Tennysons alone and to spread it to the other villains. She saves Sandra unknowingly and possibly lets Zombozo go to spread the word, then goes back to her human form. Ben and Kevin find them and are curious how she handled Zombozo by herself and saved Sandra without question.

Quotes

 * Gwen: (in a deep distorted female voice) You have no idea who you're dealing with!
 * Zombozo: We've seen what your cousin can do.
 * Gwen: I'm not talking about him! I want you to listen to me then pass the word to every low-life you know. If you want to come after Ben or Kevin or me, fine! That's the life you chose! I'm talking to you! Look at me! Look at me!! As of right now, the Tennyson family is off-limits!! If any of you ever attacks one of our loved ones or hurts one of our loved ones or even bumps into someone we love in the street, this is what awaits you!!! (Zombozo screams off-screen)


 * Ultimate Big Chill: You are tough with an army behind you, Vulkanus. (Freezes army with ice breath) Now it´s just you, me and fire so cold it burns.
 * Vulkanus: Woah! This wasn´t my idea, if you want the lady back I´ll tell you were she is please don´t hurt...
 * Ultimate Big Chill: For once, just stop talking!! (Uses ice flames to freeze Vulkanus in a block of ice).
 * Vulkanus: (nervously) Okay.


 * Rath: Let me tell you something, Rojo!! Nobody robs a train when Rath is on the job!!


 * Gwen (after Rath hits Rojo's ship) Hey, nice shot!
 * Rath: I was kinda aimin' for her head...
 * Gwen: Ben!!


 * Vulkanus: He said he was gonna be here.
 * Charmcaster: Well, he's not. And I don't know about you, Vulkanus, but I don't wait around for anybody.


 * Gwen: (When Charmcaster and her rock monsters attack her and Sandra) (Drops her smoothie) Stand behind me, Aunt Sandra, I'll keep you safe.
 * Sandra: I'm the adult here, I should-- (Gwen shows Sandra her powers) --stay behind my super-powered niece. Carry on!

Trivia
Note: According Dwayne McDuffie, Ben only pretended not to remember him because he didn't want to admit that he used to be afraid of clowns.
 * This episode marks Zombozo's first appearance after a long absence since Last Laugh.
 * Ben does not recognize Zombozo at first, having completely forgotten about their previous encounter.
 * This is the second time Gwen's dormant Anodite form was shown. However, this the first time it is shown changing in size.
 * On the train, one of the reporters asks "Ben, are you dating Jennifer Nocturne?" most definetly a hint to the episode Hero Time.
 * Charmcaster is shown in possession of Hex's staff. As stated in the original series, only a master magician can use it. Since Charmcaster was able to do so, it implies that she has become a master magician since her appearance in Ben 10: Alien Force.
