The episode begins with [[Ben Tennyson (Classic)|Ben]] having a cold and [[Kevin Levin (Classic)|Kevin]] driving him to [[Mr. Smoothy]]. Kevin purchases a smoothie for Ben in order to make his cold remedy go down better. Ben drinks it and the taste of the smoothie is terrible. Then, a ship lands next to the [[Kevin's Car (Original)|car]] and the [[Ben's Team/UAF|team]] gets out. [[Tetrax Shard (Classic)|Tetrax]], Ben's old ally and friend when he was 10, exits from the ship. Ben sneezes on him as he says "Tetrax... good to see you." Ben apologizes. Tetrax then grabs Ben while he says "C'mon, man. I apologized for sneezing on you!" But all Tetrax can say is "Ben Tennyson, give me [[Chromastone]]!"
When [[Ben Tennyson|Ben]] catches a cold, he's pleased to see [[Tetrax Shard|Tetrax]], but is caught off guard when Tetrax demands Ben give him [[Chromastone]]. Tetrax transforms Ben into Chromastone but instead transformed into [[Diamondhead]]. Ben doesn't even have a chance to explain what [[Vengeance of Vilgax: Part 2|happened]] to Chromastone when Tetrax attacks him demanding that he handed him over. Tetrax shatters Diamondhead with a weapon and reveals [[Sugilite]] inside. Tetrax gives Sugilite a [[Petropia Back-up Crystal|crystal]] which he absorbs, then Sugilite flies off to [[Petropia]]. Tetrax soon explains about why he needs Chromastone. He tells Ben, [[Gwen Tennyson|Gwen]] and [[Kevin Levin|Kevin]] about Chromastone being the only one to save Petropia, by using that crystal (Sugilite's back-up) which contains a crystallized back-up of Petropia and its [[Petrosapien|people]] (which were destroyed by [[Vilgax]]).

Tetrax throws Ben on the ground and he asks him what he wants with Chromastone. Tetrax then tries to transform Ben into Chromastone, but Ben transforms into [[Diamondhead (Classic)|Diamondhead]] instead, angering Tetrax. Ben doesn't even have time to explain what happened to him. Kevin and Gwen attack Tetrax, but they are both defeated. Tetrax shatters Diamondhead and reveals a [[Crystalsapien]] inside. Tetrax gives the Crystalsapien named [[Sugilite]] a [[Petropia Back-up Crystal|back-up crystal]] that alters the colors of his crystals from magenta to red. Sugilite flies off into space and Gwen ties up Tetrax with mana. Kevin assembles all of the parts of Diamondhead he can find and he transforms him back into Ben. Ben instructs Gwen to let Tetrax go. Afterwards, Tetrax apologizes for what he did and explains that he discovered a way to resurrect his home planet, [[Petropia (Classic)|Petropia]], through giving Chromastone the crystal that [[Vilgax (Classic)|Vilgax]] used to destroy it when the planet's suns align. Chromastone would then line up with the stone and the crystal would bring back Petropia and its residents. Tetrax stole the crystal and gave it to Sugilite, who was created in order to be Petropia's guardian. Vilgax arrives and demands the crystal.
Ben's situation gets worse when Vilgax shows up, demanding Tetrax to return the crystal Tetrax stole from him. Ben, Gwen, Kevin and Tetrax fight Vilgax until Kevin accidentally tells Vilgax what's going on when [[Ben's Team|Ben's team]] and Tetrax tried hiding in a secret warehouse in the sewer (which Gwen thinks is disgusting and stupid) but Vilgax finds them because of Ben's sneeze echoing throughout the warehouse. Vilgax flies to Petropia, while Ben, Tetrax, Gwen and Kevin go aboard Tetrax's ship and fly to Petropia. Vilgax soon arrives to Petropia and fights Sugilite, demanding he returns the crystal. Sugilite pleads for mercy, but Vilgax reveals he has none.
 
   
  +
The four run from Vilgax and Ben transforms attempts to transform into [[Way Big]], but he transforms into [[Humungousaur (Classic)|Humungousaur]] instead and attacks Vilgax. Humungousaur then transforms into [[Jetray (Classic)|Jetray]] as the team retreats. While in outer space, Sugilite arrives at Petropia's ruins and lines up with the suns. The planet's pieces start to come together. As Jetray and Vilgax fight, Jetray reverts to Ben and begins to fall. Luckily, Gwen catches Ben with a mana slide and Kevin, having an idea, runs off and gets into his car. Vilgax attacks the rest of the team and demands the crystal from Tetrax. Kevin picks them up in the car and creates a smokescreen. Vilgax shoots into it and goes up to the car, but the team is gone. They escape into a building through the sewers, but Ben sneezes and Vilgax hears it with his super hearing. Vilgax arrives and demands the crystal. Ben transforms into [[Echo Echo]] and creates duplicates of himself. The Echo Echoes sneeze a sonic sneeze, which knocks Vilgax away, and transforms back into Ben. Vilgax attacks the team and grabs Tetrax. Tetrax says that Vilgax will never find the crystal, but Kevin mentions that Sugilite has it and Vilgax flies away. The team gets into Tetrax's ship and flies to Petropia after Vilgax. Sugilite has rebuilt the planet and is about to resurrect the people when Vilgax arrives and attacks him.
Ben, Gwen, Kevin and Tetrax arrive to Petropia, in order to protect Sugilite. Vilgax plucks the crystal off Sugilite, only to discover the crystal's power had been used up, throws it away and flies back to [[Vilgaxia]]. A dying Sugilite hands Ben a second crystallized back-up before fading away. Ben then turns into Diamondhead (revealing that Diamondhead knows what to do with the crystal) and climbs to the top of Petropia to revive Petropia's people. Diamondhead's actions revive both the Petrosapiens and Sugilite, who reveals to Ben that he is Sugilite, Guardian of Petropia and reveals that Chromastone still remains within the [[Omnitrix (Original)|Omnitrix]]. Tetrax later flies Ben, Gwen and Kevin down to Earth. Meanwhile, Vilgax catches Ben's cold.
 
   
  +
Sugilite begs for mercy, but Vilgax tears the crystal off of Sugilite and discovers that it is drained of power, Vilgax then flies away and leaves Sugilite to die. The team arrives and finds Sugilite near-dead, but Sugilite grows another crystal and gives it to Ben before he dies. Ben transforms into Diamondhead as he knows what to do with the crystal. Diamondhead climbs to the top of the planet's tallest mountain and hold the crystal up to the stars. The Petrosapiens are resurrected and Diamondhead returns to the team and transforms back into Ben. Sugilite was resurrected as well and tells Ben that Chromastone is still in his Omnitrix. Ben gives him the crystal and he reattaches it. The Petrosapiens cheer for Ben. Tetrax brings the team back to Earth. Ben thanks Tetrax for the ride home. Tetrax replies that it was the least he could do. Gwen says that she, Kevin and Ben don't want to hold him back as he must be anxious to get back to his friends. Tetrax replies that he is, but first; he has a score to settle with Vilgax. Ben wonders if it's such a good idea, as Vilgax is pretty much invincible. Tetrax just replies with a simple "Maybe... Maybe not." And speaking of Vilgax..... he has unfortunately caught Ben's cold and the episode ends with [[Psyphon]] giving Vilgax a tissue for him to cure his cold.

The Secret of Chromastone is the forty-second episode of Ben 10: Alien Force.

Plot

Sugilite

Sugilite

The episode begins with Ben having a cold and Kevin driving him to Mr. Smoothy. Kevin purchases a smoothie for Ben in order to make his cold remedy go down better. Ben drinks it and the taste of the smoothie is terrible. Then, a ship lands next to the car and the team gets out. Tetrax, Ben's old ally and friend when he was 10, exits from the ship. Ben sneezes on him as he says "Tetrax... good to see you." Ben apologizes. Tetrax then grabs Ben while he says "C'mon, man. I apologized for sneezing on you!" But all Tetrax can say is "Ben Tennyson, give me Chromastone!"

Tetrax throws Ben on the ground and he asks him what he wants with Chromastone. Tetrax then tries to transform Ben into Chromastone, but Ben transforms into Diamondhead instead, angering Tetrax. Ben doesn't even have time to explain what happened to him. Kevin and Gwen attack Tetrax, but they are both defeated. Tetrax shatters Diamondhead and reveals a Crystalsapien inside. Tetrax gives the Crystalsapien named Sugilite a back-up crystal that alters the colors of his crystals from magenta to red. Sugilite flies off into space and Gwen ties up Tetrax with mana. Kevin assembles all of the parts of Diamondhead he can find and he transforms him back into Ben. Ben instructs Gwen to let Tetrax go. Afterwards, Tetrax apologizes for what he did and explains that he discovered a way to resurrect his home planet, Petropia, through giving Chromastone the crystal that Vilgax used to destroy it when the planet's suns align. Chromastone would then line up with the stone and the crystal would bring back Petropia and its residents. Tetrax stole the crystal and gave it to Sugilite, who was created in order to be Petropia's guardian. Vilgax arrives and demands the crystal.

The four run from Vilgax and Ben transforms attempts to transform into Way Big, but he transforms into Humungousaur instead and attacks Vilgax. Humungousaur then transforms into Jetray as the team retreats. While in outer space, Sugilite arrives at Petropia's ruins and lines up with the suns. The planet's pieces start to come together. As Jetray and Vilgax fight, Jetray reverts to Ben and begins to fall. Luckily, Gwen catches Ben with a mana slide and Kevin, having an idea, runs off and gets into his car. Vilgax attacks the rest of the team and demands the crystal from Tetrax. Kevin picks them up in the car and creates a smokescreen. Vilgax shoots into it and goes up to the car, but the team is gone. They escape into a building through the sewers, but Ben sneezes and Vilgax hears it with his super hearing. Vilgax arrives and demands the crystal. Ben transforms into Echo Echo and creates duplicates of himself. The Echo Echoes sneeze a sonic sneeze, which knocks Vilgax away, and transforms back into Ben. Vilgax attacks the team and grabs Tetrax. Tetrax says that Vilgax will never find the crystal, but Kevin mentions that Sugilite has it and Vilgax flies away. The team gets into Tetrax's ship and flies to Petropia after Vilgax. Sugilite has rebuilt the planet and is about to resurrect the people when Vilgax arrives and attacks him.

Sugilite begs for mercy, but Vilgax tears the crystal off of Sugilite and discovers that it is drained of power, Vilgax then flies away and leaves Sugilite to die. The team arrives and finds Sugilite near-dead, but Sugilite grows another crystal and gives it to Ben before he dies. Ben transforms into Diamondhead as he knows what to do with the crystal. Diamondhead climbs to the top of the planet's tallest mountain and hold the crystal up to the stars. The Petrosapiens are resurrected and Diamondhead returns to the team and transforms back into Ben. Sugilite was resurrected as well and tells Ben that Chromastone is still in his Omnitrix. Ben gives him the crystal and he reattaches it. The Petrosapiens cheer for Ben. Tetrax brings the team back to Earth. Ben thanks Tetrax for the ride home. Tetrax replies that it was the least he could do. Gwen says that she, Kevin and Ben don't want to hold him back as he must be anxious to get back to his friends. Tetrax replies that he is, but first; he has a score to settle with Vilgax. Ben wonders if it's such a good idea, as Vilgax is pretty much invincible. Tetrax just replies with a simple "Maybe... Maybe not." And speaking of Vilgax..... he has unfortunately caught Ben's cold and the episode ends with Psyphon giving Vilgax a tissue for him to cure his cold.
