Ultimate Aggregor is the tenth and final episode of the first season of Ben 10: Ultimate Alien, and the tenth episode overall.
Synopsis[]
Aggregor's ultimate plan is revealed, and it's already too late to stop him![CN 1]
Plot[]
In a desert, Aggregor has Ra'ad in his clutches. Aggregor prepares to take Ra'ad to his starship, but the Plumbers arrive to capture him. Aggregor drops the Shock Staff and uses his ship's lasers to drive away the Plumbers and gets away with Ra'ad. He puts Ra'ad in a cage with the other captured aliens and attempts to escape, but one of the Plumbers attacks Aggregor's ship, destroying his hyperdrive and preventing Aggregor from leaving Earth.
Ben, Gwen, and Kevin are at Mr. Smoothy, testing out what looks like a new smoothie flavor (lamb and sardine), which Ben seems to like. However, their hanging out is over when Ben's fans come to harass him. Ben transforms into Big Chill and then into Ultimate Big Chill and blocks away the fans with his flames, which soon turn into ice. They see Max's hologram on the Ultimatrix and go to the desert where Aggregor and the Plumbers fought. Kevin breaks down the crime scene, accurately recreating the skirmish between the two sides, which shocks the others. They take the Rustbucket 3 to find Aggregor's ship. Gwen and Kevin talk about his determination to take down Aggregor, with Kevin calming her down with a kiss on the cheek.

Lodestar reforms
They find Aggrebots and fight them. Ben transforms into Lodestar during the battle and the team defeats the Aggrebots. Lodestar decides to use his magnetic abilities to stop the ship, but it explodes, presumably killing him. Gwen manages to protect Kevin and Max from the explosion and thinks that Lodestar was killed, but he reforms.
The group flies the Rustbucket 3 to the base where they met Bivalvan. During the approach, they are escorted by a few Northrop Grumman F-14 Tomcats. Ben introduces Colonel Rozum to Max, but he already knows Rozum. They wonder where Aggregor is, and they find out that he is at the Los Soledad military base. Aggregor finds Professor Paradox's Chronologger, which he is going to use as a power source to absorb the other aliens' powers. Rozum wants the team to get rid of Aggregor from Los Soledad or he will have to destroy the base with a bomb. Paradox then arrives, and explains Aggregor's use of his time machine.

The Andromeda aliens mind-controlled
Colonel Rozum gives them permission to stop Aggregor and Paradox leaves, but Rozum will still keep his orders. The base is guarded with Aggrebots, so they fight, with Ben transforms into Swampfire then into Ultimate Swampfire immediately after. Aggregor releases Bivalvan, Galapagus, P'Andor, Andreas, and Ra'ad, but takes control of their minds using headbands and makes them attack the team.
A fight is engaged between the team and the aliens. Max releases Bivalvan from Aggregor's control by charging his forehead into a wall, destroying the headband, but he teleports away. When Ra'ad squeezes Ultimate Swampfire, he transforms into Nanomech and shoots Ra'ad's headband, and he disappears too. After that, Kevin jumps to release himself from Andreas, who was sitting on him and shaking him. Kevin pounds Andreas' forehead. Then the screen moves to Gwen fighting Galapagus, who is blowing air at her. Gwen shoots her mana to Galapagus, but he is immune to her attacks. Gwen creates one more mana disc and shoots it into Galapagus' back. Galapagus falls down, then P'Andor prepares to shoot his energy beam when Nanomech shoots and frees P'Andor's forehead, with Aggregor teleporting P'Andor back. Aggregor then begins to absorb energy and Kevin tries to reason with him, explaining that regularly absorbing energy caused him to go insane when he was a kid (in the Original Series when he was Kevin 11), but Aggregor doesn't listen, claiming that it is a lie told by powerful Osmosians to control the weak Osmosians.

Aggregor absorbs the Andromeda aliens
Before Kevin can reason with him any further, Aggregor shoots Kevin with his spear. He then powers himself up and breaks the fabric of time. Nanomech transforms into Humungousaur and destroys the machine, but Aggregor escapes, and the aliens disappear. Aggregor reemerges as being fused with all of the aliens and has become "Ultimate Aggregor."

Trivia[]
- Professor Paradox foreshadows the events of The Forge of Creation in this episode in two different ways:
- Firstly, Paradox tells Kevin to "remember who his friends are", foreshadowing the next time Kevin will become mutated once again.
- He then tells Ben that he should not lean on the Chronal Randomization Barrier, which will cause the latter to accidentally bring his younger self into the present.
- In Alien Force, Paradox's Chronologger was destroyed in the past by Gwen.[1] This is retconned in this episode, where it appears fully intact.[BTP 1]
- In this episode, Colonel Rozum had no idea who Professor Paradox was when they appeared together on-screen. This is retconned in Omniverse, as it is revealed that they used to work together at Area 51.[2][BTP 1]
- Aggregor used the Chronologger to convert his prisoners into energy, so he could absorb of their power.[DM 1]
- Although this episode was written as the Season 1 finale, Cartoon Network merged the next 10 episodes with this season due to their tight schedule.[DM 2][DM 3][DM 4][DM 5]
- In the as-recorded script dated September 30, 2009:
- Ultimate Big Chill flies in the air when projects ice flames to block his fans.[script 1]
- When Kevin leaves the cargo bay of the Rustbucket 3 after talking to Gwen, Max stands at the doorway instead of the cockpit.[script 2]
- Aggregor's starship lands in the same forest from The Final Battle: Part 2.[script 2]
- Ben says Max was right about Aggregor's ship being a trap. In the final version of the episode, he addresses Gwen instead due to an error.[script 3]
- When Aggregor absorbs his prisoners, reality fractures and there is a black hole at the center of the screen. Sounds are slurred and perhaps doubled, images are fractured, including the characters themselves, colors are inverted, as in a negative.[script 4]
