Plot
Trapped in traffic, Rook is watching as Ben is fiddling around with the Omnitrix. Rook tells Ben to find another way to keep calm but Ben just yells out the window saying what is going on. Suddenly, a squid-like alien bursts from underground and flies away scaring the local citizens. More aliens start flying out of Undertown and one alien tells Ben and Rook that the Incursions coming. Ben and Rook agree that the Incursions are more likely to attack Earth next. Even more aliens emerge from Undertown and the citizens of Bellwood could now fully see the underground city. At a Plumber base, the Plumbers are getting ready for the Incursion invasion. Max Tennyson confirms to Ben and Rook that the Incursions have Earth surrounded and warns them that it will be a war. A Plumber then puts up planetary shields around Earth but Rook says that will only slow them down. Ben wants to do something but Max tells him that he needs to do something else. Will Harangue is reporting on the aliens escaping Undertown and Max urges Ben to calm down the citizens. Ben doesn't want to but Max says Ben is a hero and a celebrity on Earth and that the town will listen to him. Outside, Ben is dealing with several items being thrown at him and Will Harangue walks up to Ben demanding answers on why he is a traitor to the humans and that he is out to destroy humanity or enslave it. Ben tries to explain himself but Harangue continues to pester him with questions. Ben finally explains that he has visited Undertown and the aliens are only trying to live their own lives and that their harmless.

Outside of Earth, Milleous and the rest of the Incursions are preparing to invade Earth. Milleous calls out to the citizens of Earth urging them to surrender but gets no response. Attea then says that the planetary shields are preventing communication and Milleous orders his army to break down the shield. The Incursion ships being ramming the shields while Milleous threatens to imprison Attea if she speaks out of term again. Dr. Psychobos enters behind Attea saying that Attea is having "daddy issues." Attea attacks Dr. Psychobos saying he has issues with him. Back on Earth, Ben is still trying to convince the citizens that the aliens of Undertown are harmless but he continues to mess with his Omnitrix and it sets of the "Randomizer" function. Ben instantly turns into Way Big and falls back into a nearby building and catches a sign that almost hit the people. Ben urges everyone that everything is fine but he then turns into NRG. Ben falls onto the ground and shoots a building. Ben then gets knocked out of his containment suit and tells everyone that they should stand back due to his radiation. Ben then turns into Water Hazard and Will Harangue says that there is no end to Ben's rampage but Harangue is soon sprayed in the face with water. Ben then puts out a building on fire but outside of Earth, the Incursions have broken through the shields. Attea then orders the Incursions to start attacking Earth while Ben finally puts out the fire. Ben still says that aliens are helpful but the Incursion soon being their invasion and start shooting. The people all run away while Ben attempts to spray them out the air with water. It has no affect and Ben dodges an Incursion blast shot. Ben then turns into Astrodactyl and starts to knock down Incursion ships. While in midair, Ben transforms into Snare-oh and grabs onto an Incursion ship. Ben is soon attacked from behind by another Incursion ship and he swings himself on top of the Incursion ship that he was holding onto. Attea then flies up near Ben hoping to take him down herself and Ben turns into Rath. Ben punches a hole in the Incursion ship and starts crashing toward the ground. Ben turns back to normal and finds himself falling in midair but Rook rescues him on the Proto-TRUK. Ben then asks Rook why he is flying away and Rook replies saying that Max order him to return Ben back to base. Ben says he is handling things but Rook doesn't believe him. Attea attempts to shoot down them but Rook transforms the Proto-TRUK into the normal van and drives into the Plumber base. Dr. Psychobos says that should he inform Milleous but Attea yells at him.

Back outside of Earth, Milleous finally manages to break through another part of the shield and yells at Earth saying he is going to take over as his Incursion army has fully invaded all parts of the planet. Back in the Plumber base, all of the Plumbers begin running around while one Plumber says that all the shields are down. Max wants to know how Ben's Omnitrix is doing and Blukic and Driba are working on it. Driba tells Ben that he activated the Randomizer function but Ben already knows that. Blukic then hits the Omnitrix with a wrench but it does nothing with Ben yelling that he will be stuck using different aliens everytime he uses the Omnitrix. Meanwhile, Max is telling all the Plumbers that they have no choice but to attack Milleous hoping to disrupt his communications with the rest of the Incursion army. Ben is hoping to join in but Max says he can't due to the Randomizer function still active. Max calls out to all of the Plumbers to move out while Ben stays there watching. All of the Plumbers including Rook on the Proto-TRUK begin flying out while Attea's ship is being attacked by Plumber tanks on the ground. Dr. Psychobos tells Attea that the defense force is getting away and Attea says that Milleous should handle them while she does something else. Outside of Earth, Max is leading the other Plumber ships and they all begin to fire at Milleous' ship. Milleous gloats and begins shooting back. Attea and Dr. Psychobos are walking down a passageway and they enter Max's room but she doesn't find Ben in there. The Plumbers are still doing battle with Milleous' ship and the Proto-TRUK is shot. Rook calls out to Max saying he has been hit and Max says not to land on the ship. Suddenly, Ben is heard from the back saying he needed to recharge. Rook then crashes the Proto-TRUK into Milleous and inside, Ben uses Bloxx to shield himself and Rook from the impact. Rook told Ben that they were supposed to sneak on as Big Chill but Ben says that Bloxx is better. Ben quickly turns back to normal confused but happy that the Randomizer function is no longer active. Rook asks what is Ben's next plan and Ben says to take down the Incursions and he hopes to transform into Humungousaur but gets Nanomech instead. Rook grabs Ben and charges down the hall but runs into Incursions that are ready ready to fire. Ben flies out and sends energy blasts into the Incursion's guns destroying them. Ben is grabbed by one of the Incursions but Rook quickly takes them all out using his Proto-Tool. Ben then turns back to normal and Rook notices that whatever Blukic and Driba did to the Omnitrix, it shortened Ben's transformation time.



Outside of Milleous' ship, the Plumber ships soon are being taken out and Max charges angrily at Milleous thinking that Ben and Rook are dead. Milleous orders the Incursion ships to take down Max but Ben and Rook appear high above and takes down an Incursion. Ben transforms into Four Arms and starts taking down some Incursions with Rook taking some down himself. Ben quickly turns back to normal and he notices Max trying to attack the ship with Max surprised Ben is still alive. Ben is soon grabbed by Milleous and Milleous threatens to kill Ben if Max doesn't call off his attack. The Incursion ships soon start attacking Milleous' ship and Milleous' notice Rook messing with the controls. Milleous then tells his army to stop firing and Ben turns into Big Chill and escapes Milleous' grasp. Ben then freezes Milleous, turns back to normal, and tells everyone not to stop firing. Inside a base, Attea is yelling that she is taking over and tells them to fire at Milleous' ship. Ben and Rook are talking while Milleous breaks free from the ice and he says that he threatens to destroy everything. Ben transforms into XLR8 and runs away from Milleous for a short time before turning back to normal. Ben turns into Humungousaur and lifts up Milleous. However, the Omnitrix times out and Milleous lands on top of Ben. Milleous attempts to crush Ben by leaping up high and falling back down but Ben transforms into Crashhopper and rams Milleous in midair causing him to leap all around the room. Milleous' ship soon lands on Earth and Ben turns back to normal with Milleous landing on Ben but Rook then handcuffs Milleous.

Outside of the ship, Max and Attea are both holding up their guns and Max says that he has her army outnumbered. However, Attea then shows more of her Incursion ships having the Plumber's ships surrounded but Ben appears behind her telling her to call off the ships or Milleous will die. Attea then says that Ben doesn't have the guts to do it and Milleous then tells Ben that he will let him go and Ben has to leave Earth never coming back. Ben asks why and Dr. Psychobos soon presses a button which causes a device to activate. Attea asks Ben if he was wonder what she did with the mind control juice and Ben replies saying he does. Soon, large Mutated To'kustars begin raining down from the sky on nearly all parts of Earth and Milleous tells Ben that if he doesn't leave, the Mutant To'kustars will begin destroying Earth. Ben doesn't want to but Max tells Ben to. Ben is shocked saying he won't let them win but Max says he thought he lost Ben before and with Ben leaving Earth, Max will know Ben is still alive. Ben reluctantly gives himself up and Attea locks him in a Incursion space pod. Milleous gloats as Max and the other Plumbers are being boarded on Incursion ships. Will Harangue reports on how the Incursions have taken over Earth but proudly says how their biggest threat Ben has been sent away. Ben is soon blasted into space and Harangue tells Ben "goodbye and good riddance."
