The Alliance

The Alliance is the eight episode of Ben 10.

Plot
Four Arms reluctantly fights a female thief named Joey and her gang, but Vilgax sends more attack drones at the same time. While Ben shifts his attention to the drones, Joey attacks Grandpa Max. Ben destroys the robots and knocks Joey out, leaving them all at the scene in order to get Max to a hospital. While he is away, one of the drones fuse with Joey, transforming her into a semi-robotic being called Rojo. Vilgax makes telepathic contact with Rojo through the drones and commands her to steal the Omnitrix stating that he will teach her how to use this power, but if she fails he will destroy her. At the hospital, Ben realizes that the Omnitrix makes him a constant target and puts Gwen and Grandpa Max in danger by association; worried for their safety, Ben runs away. He later encounters Rojo and fights her as XLR8, which proves futile. With advice from Max via cell phone, Ben defeats Rojo as Upgrade by merging with and shorting out her robotic parts. In the process, Vilgax makes telepathic contact with Upgrade through the drones and threatens him, claiming that he will obtain the Omnitrix someday. Ben returns to Grandpa Max and Gwen upon the realization that he needs them. Max tells Ben not to worry about what Vilgax said; however, Grandpa Max expresses a look of anxiousness while Ben is out of sight.
