Plot[]
Ben, Gwen, and Max are on a trip to 'El Guapo', Mexico to see an authentic bull fight, to which Ben shows apathy towards -with Gwen chalking that up to him not knowing Spanish.
Meanwhile, in a nearby lab, SeƱor Chaos (a local celebrity matador) is making his final touches to his remotely controlled 'Robotic Bull'. He does this so that he can cheat to become the greatest bull-fighter that the world's ever seen.
The Tennyson trio soon reach the arena, where Max reads a pamphlet introducing SeƱor Chaos- who soon makes an entrance and starts the fight. Things instantly take a bad turn, as SeƱor Chaos presses a button on the remote the Bull is caused to get out of control and starts smashing apart the arena.
Ben uses the Omnitrix to turn into Grey Matter to deal with the threat, and to jump into the fray of things, attaching himself to the Bull's head, hoping to attack its pressure points (not knowing at this point, that the Bull is a mechanical one). Things go out of control when Ben loses his grip and gets flung onto a pile of wooden planks.
Max and Gwen reach Ben as he transforms back, but find the Bull is now rampaging around the town, attacking people. Ben turns into Four Arms and headbutts the Bull with such force that the Bull smashes apart, revealing that it's mechanical origins. Soon after, as SeƱor Chaos is getting arrested for his crimes, Ben is left with a comical concussion.

Allusions[]
- Ben uses the phrase "ready to rumble", which was the boxing announcer Michael Buffer's trademarked catchphrase. This was used again for Ready to Rumble.
Errors[]
- Grey Matter and Four Arms' Omnitrix symbols are grey and green instead of grey and white.
- On page 5 of the story, when Grey Matter "SPLORT"s against the wall, his Omnitrix symbol appears as very small.
- Grey Matter's name is typed as one word as opposed to the usual two.
- No attempt is made to hide Ben's identity when he transforms in public.
- Ben transforms directly from Grey Matter to Four Arms, with seemingly little time passing. At this point in the series, the Omnitrix had a cool-down to its abilities.
Trivia[]
- Max mentions his grandfather having taken him on a similar trip, citing it as a Tennyson family tradition.
