Deep is the third episode of the second season of Ben 10: Ultimate Alien, and the thirteenth episode overall.

Synopsis[]

Ben, Kevin, and Gwen journey to the center of an all-water planet in an attempt to finally capture Aggregor.[note 1]

Plot[]

Underwater on Piscciss, a Magister Plumber named Pyke is searching for something. He finds a swimming object, which happens to be Ultimate Aggregor, who seems to defeat Magister Pyke.

Meanwhile on Earth, Ben is surrounded by fans and transforms into Goop in order to escape but fails, requiring Gwen and Kevin to save him. Ben receives a message from Pyke about Ultimate Aggregor on his Ultimatrix, and Ben's team goes to planet Piscciss in the Rust Bucket 3 to search for Pyke, but they are attacked by a squid-like monster. They use the electrical gauntlets in their Plumber suits (specially modified by Kevin) to defeat the monster, but in the battle, Kevin's helmet cracks.

The blowfish giving Kevin an air supply after his Plumber suit broke

With Kevin drowning, Gwen blasts him against the jet's side, causing him to absorb the jet's coating, saving him from being crushed by the water pressure, but he still can't breathe. A nearby fish appears and is able to convert itself into a helmet for him so he can breathe. Pyke shows up and they go with him to find Ultimate Aggregor. Ben's helmet cracks when they battle some sea creatures, and he transforms Humungousaur (who cannot breathe underwater). He scares them off and transforms into Ampfibian instead.

They pass the guards once they explain their Plumber business, and go to the core of the planet, where it looks like Ultimate Aggregor is attacking. The core has air in it, allowing them to operate without their suits, while Pyke uses a water helmet to breathe. A tremor occurs, and Pyke is crushed by a rock. While Gwen stays to help him, Ben and Kevin go on, but find Ultimate Aggregor grabbing the planet's core piece that keeps it together.

Goop saving Piscciss from destruction

It turns out the anti-gravity multiplier that holds Piscciss together is the second piece of the Map of Infinity, which Professor Paradox disguised so no one would suspect it. Ultimate Aggregor leaves and Ben transforms into Big Chill and chases him, leaving Gwen, Kevin, and Pyke with the core guards. Big Chill evolves into Ultimate Big Chill when the guards keep distracting him, and Pyke accuses Ben and his friends as the culprits for stealing the core piece. Ultimate Aggregor takes advantage and escapes Piscciss in all of the commotion.

Ultimate Big Chill transforms into Goop again and tries to stop Piscciss from shattering into pieces by using his Anti-Gravity Projector as a substitute, but it also sucks in Goop. Soon, the water turns green and Piscciss pulls itself back together, with Goop transforming back to Ben and being saved before he drowns.

Pyke thanks them for their help and Kevin wards off the fish that was used as his breathing helmet, much to his sadness, while Gwen consoles him.

Ben: (Talking into radio) This is Rust Bucket 3, requesting permission to land... d-dive, over.

Kevin: Guys? (his Plumber helmet starts cracking)
Ben and Gwen: KEVIN!
(Kevin's helmet bursts open, and Gwen sends Kevin flying over to the Rustbucket, causing him to absorb the metal on the ship)
Ben: Good work, Gwen. Another second and he'd have been crushed by the pressure down here.
(Kevin is wriggling around and points at his neck, making it obvious that he is still unable to breathe)
Gwen: But he still can't breathe!
(A fish swims over and puts itself over Kevin's head. Ben is about to go over and get the fish off)
Gwen: No, wait! (The fish turns into a helmet, meaning that Kevin can now breathe, so he gasps for air) That thing just saved his life!
Kevin: Yeah, but I look like a dork!
Gwen: What's it like?
Kevin: The air is cold, but okay, and it smells a little...
Ben: Fishy?
Kevin: (sarcastically) How'd you guess?
Pyke: Next time you decide to crash into my planet, give me some warning or would that cause unnecessary panic.
Kevin: Pyke?
Pyke: Got your distress call.
Gwen: Just the guy I wanted to see. I can scan you to find Aggregor.
Pyke: Be my guest, but you're wasting your time. Our scanners aren't picking him up anywhere in the entire planetary ocean.
Gwen: (puts her hand on Pyke's head to track Aggregor) That's because he's not in the water. He's inside the planet's solid core.
Pyke: The core is the most inaccessible place in the world. There's only one way in, and it's under constant guard.
Kevin: (referring to Gwen) Trust me, fish lips, she's never wrong.
Pyke: (the fish-helmet on Kevin's head purrs) Nice hat.

Quotes


Aggregor: Clever of Paradox to disguise this piece of the Map of Infinity as the single most important item on this planet. (Ben reaches for the Ultimatrix) Don't even think about it. If you move, I'll destroy it. And planet Piscciss...
Kevin: Comes apart at the seams. The tremors before? That was you trying to get it loose.
Aggregor: You're smarter than you look, boy. Admittedly, not a great achievement...

Aggregor: Next time, try absorbing something that doesn't conduct electricity! (jumps through ceiling)

Continuity[]

  • Ben mentions that the Ultimatrix always puts him back into whatever he was wearing the first time he changed after the reboot, referring to the events of Fused.

Errors[]

  • At the beginning of the episode when Magister Pyke chases Ultimate Aggregor, there are a lot of rocks shown floating around, but later in the episode, there aren't any rocks at all, excluding the core.
  • Kevin says he took pictures and displays a cell phone, but when he and Gwen rescued Ben, he did not take pictures.
  • When Ben and Kevin leave the Rust Bucket 3, most of Ben's body merges with the water and the ship.
  • When Pyke attacks the fish, his whiskers have outlines.
  • Humungousaur's hologram faces away from Ben.
  • When Ben transforms into Humungousaur, the palms of his hands swap between the color of his stomach, and the color of his back and arms.
  • In one shot, Pyke's briefs are white instead of black.
  • When Ampfibian comes out of the water, the highlights of the water are green.
  • When Pyke got his water helmet, Kevin was shifting between his normal form and his metal form.
  • When Pyke grabs Gwen, his angler is grey.
  • When Pyke is dehydrated inside the core, the Piscciss Volann guards have grey anglers.
  • When Big Chill is chasing Aggregor, two Piscciss Volanns start to chase him, for a moment it can be seen that the one on the right has Magister Pyke's design.
  • The whole time Goop is pulling the planet together, Pyke does not have his helmet on and yet shows no discomfort.
