Plot[]
Ben and Rook chase Liam, who has a laser rifle and stolen weapon schematics, across rooftops. Ben turns into Kickin' Hawk and begins overwhelming Liam until he is distracted by a call from Max, giving Liam the opportunity to punch Kickin' Hawk off of the roof they're battling on. Rook uses his Proto-Tool's grappling hook to rescue Ben, but Liam manages to escape on a hang glider.
Back at the Plumbers HQ, Max consoles Ben and Rook on their fail and tells them about their next mission, they need to investigate a possible SOS signal in Neptune's orbit, he also says to Rook he's made some modifications to the Proto-TRUK to help them. When Ben and Rook reach Neptune's orbit, they're attacked by energy blasts from a large ship, Rook deploys an E.M.P to stop the bombardment. The Proto-TRUK's scanners detect no life inside the ship, but they decide to look into it anyway.
Meanwhile, Khyber, who was following Ben and Rook, gets frustated when his ship's engine and cloak mode is disabled by the E.M.P. He decides to send Zed via a space pod to the large ship.
Inside the ghost ship, Ben and Rook forgot to bring a flashlight, so Ben transforms into Heatblast to light up the area, discovering mysterious moving carvings on the walls of the ship. A glowing sphere appears in the wall after Rook touches it, and it begins to rapidly move away, Ben and Rook decide to go after it. The sphere goes towards humanoid beings encased in crystals and powers back up the entire ship, announcing that the secondary life support has been activated. Rook says they should now try hacking the ship's systems to find out what happened in it.
Rook uses a device to map the ship's ventilation system to the control room. While they prepare to move, the ship's defense system activates and begins firing laser blasts at them. Ben transforms into Crashhopper to distract and destroy the weapons as Rook finds the entrance to the ventilation. They successfully escape and Rook's mapping device detects something following them from behind, it's revealed to be Slamworm trailing them but Ben deals with her by transforming into Shocksquatch.
Rook and Ben try to use the control panel but yet another defense system activates that shocks them and projects a hologram of an alien that tells them they'll be terminated. Ben transforms into Feedback and attempts to drain the computer's energy but it's too much and it ends up exploding and causing the Omnitrix to malfunction. The ship's hologram states it'll initiate the self-destruct sequence due to its now low energy remaining not being enough to maintain its crew alive. Ben and Rook come across Mucilator while trying to escape, Ben's Omnitrix still doesn't work but Rook gets the idea for Ben to taunt the Mucilator and trick it into following him down a hole on the ship. It works and Rook uses his grappling hook to rescue Ben as he's falling. Ben talks to the ship's crew (who have been reawakened when the ship's energy was drained by Feedback), they say they're from a incalculable dimension and their ship's destination was a small, insignificant blue planet. Ben says they're in luck and then takes them to Earth.
Ben takes them to Undertown, where Max rents a place for them to stay in. The end of the comic shows the ship crew reporting their infiltration mission on Earth privately and they'll continue to search for the powerful weapon in Liam's possession.
