Synopsis[]
Ben and Rook escort Vilgax to a maximum-security prison planet, but the Incurseans have other plans.[CN 1]
Plot[]
The episode starts with Rook piloting a Plumber ship toward Incarcecon and it’s warden tells him that all the prisoners have been evacuated, while Ben doesn't worry much, but Max nervously says that he should, especially with their guest who is revealed to be Vilgax Max tells Ben and the group that everything will be shut down and communication will be cut off and Vilgax threatens him once freed, he won't like it, and unconcerned Ben simply yawns. More ships are seen flying from Incarcecon, as Rook prepares to land the Plumber ship. Max reminds the group that they will be completely cut off once they reach the field, leaving them unable to call for help if Vilgax manages to escape custody.
Ben says that they will drop off Vilgax and be back home in no time, meanwhile on another ship, Attea calls Milleous, who tells her that he has surrounded Vilgaxia, hoping to get them to fully surrender is to take out their leader Vilgax, revealing he sent Attea to do the job, while he signs off and she loudly orders SixSix, SevenSeven, and EightEight to take down Vilgax. The Incursean ship begins to shoot at the Plumber ship, causing everyone inside to get knocked around. Rook attempts to do something, but the rear engine gets shot and they start crashing toward Incarcecon. They land on the large space prison, and Rook reveals that the transporter is damaged.

SixSix, SevenSeven, Attea and EightEight
Ben heads toward the back and tells everyone that they have to get off the ship, including Vilgax, Ben briefly lets him go, but quickly puts shock manacles around his wrists and transforms into Kickin' Hawk and tells everyone to hold their breath and jump and as they all land inside Incarcecon, but Vilgax attempts to get away. Kickin' Hawk quickly tackles him through a wall and transforms back into Ben, still beating him, Rook pulls Ben away from Vilgax, telling him to calm down. Vilgax says he had no involvement in the attack, much to his denial, but Vilgax tells him that he would have died along with them in that attack, meaning they weren't trying to free him. Suddenly, Attea shows up along with SixSix, SevenSeven, and EightEight, where they all begin to shoot at Ben's group. They hide behind a wall, but Hobble gets blasted. Attea calls out for Vilgax, threatening to kill him with Rook telling Ben that Attea's group isn't trying to free Vilgax.
Ben looks on, mildly shocked and as Attea's group continues blasting, while Rook asks Ben what to do next. Ben decides to distract Attea while Rook does technical work. Ben calls out to Attea, who commands SixSix, SevenSeven, and EightEight to fire rapidly at him. The Plumbers attempt to fight back, but their blasters start to deplete in energy. Rook tells Ben that there is one more escape route and a communication room to contact Max. Ben tells Rook to take the Plumbers there while he heads elsewhere with Vilgax to keep him alive. Attea says she is getting bored and moves in closer, blasting at the group and with Ben turning into Cannonbolt and starts to quickly take down all four of them, after changing back he leads the group out of harm's way. Attea wakes up, noticing Vilgax has gotten away and furiously tells the group to track him down, but notices they have split up. Attea then tells SixSix and SevenSeven to find the Plumbers, while she and EightEight go after Ben and Vilgax.

Ben and Vilgax
Ben and Vilgax walk down a hall, with Ben telling him that he will soon be locked away, but only to then say that he is the reason Ben has the Omnitrix but Ben counters by saying he always tried to steal it but gets beaten each and every time, Vilgax also counterspeaks that the Incurseans won't be happy with just taking him down and taking over Vilgaxia, but taking down every planet in the universe, to that he cold remarks perhaps maybe he'll let the Incurseans get him, then Rook and the other Plumbers are seen walking into a room with many passageways.
Rook then says that there is two ways to get to the communicator: the slow but safe stairways, or the fast tube that has a catwalk. Rook wonders what Ben would do, and Hobble says he would take the catwalk. Rook then suggests the stairs and he and the other Plumbers start to head toward them, but they are stopped by SevenSeven, who threatens to shoot Hobble. Rook uses his Proto-Tool to shoot at SevenSeven's leg and trip him down the stairs. Hobble quickly says to take the catwalk, and the Plumbers head toward that direction. SevenSeven appears again and tries to shoot at them, but he gets blasted away by steam, which was caused by Rook shooting a nearby pipe. Hobble nearly falls off the catwalk, but Rook uses his Proto-Tool to save him.
The Plumbers attempt to enter the pod, but SixSix is already inside, and he throws grenade-like objects at them, causing a massive explosion, but meanwhile, Ben along with Vilgax is about to fight Attea and EightEight. EightEight blasts a control, which causes a wall to fall, which traps Ben and Vilgax. Vilgax tells Ben to take the shock manacles off of him, which Ben does. Vilgax grabs Ben, tosses him at Attea, and escapes through a lower duct. EightEight attempts to blast down at Vilgax, but he is far gone. Attea and EightEight then prepare to shoot at Ben.
Attea introduces Ben to EightEight and EightEight drops Ben and gleefully explains that they both don't like Vilgax, hoping to work something out, while momenterally thinking about his propposal she states that she was spending seventh grade in stasis jail because of him. While tries to attack Ben, he quickly dodges all the attacks and transforms into Terraspin, telling Attea that he did it because she attempted to take over her father's entire empire and swiftly beats Attea and EightEight and escapes down the hall. Vilgax is seen running and notices SixSix and SevenSeven walking down the hall. Ben suddenly appears near him and reactivates the shock manicles on his wrists, he slyly tries defending him, saying that he threw Ben into Attea and EightEight as a diversion because he knew Ben would defeat them, but Ben doesn't want to hear it and still wants to get Vilgax away to a different prison and they walk off. They enter a new room, but they are quickly shot at by Attea, SixSix, SevenSeven, and EightEight. Attea gloats about how SixSix and SevenSeven took down the Plumbers, but Rook and the Plumbers resurface. Rook explains that he and the other Plumbers hung over the ledge using his Proto-Tool. Attea attempts to use a Techadon Dissipator to blast everyone away, but Vilgax jumps in the way and saves Ben from the blast. The Plumbers and Attea's group begin to battle, and Ben hopes to get Rath, but instead he gets turned into Gravattack and starts to spin Attea's group around. However, SixSix grabs onto a piece of pipe and Attea and SevenSeven grab onto SixSix's foot, and they all shoot at him, but effortlessly uses his powers to redirect the attacks at Attea's group, blasting them backwards.
While blasting them away, he notices EightEight still crawling toward him, but he drops a light finally knocking her down. Gravattack tells Rook to call Max and get the Plumbers to safety, but suddenly shock manacles wear off on Vilgax, and Gravattack changes back to Ben who is happy, but his celebration is abrupted by Vilgax, who shoots him stating that he won't see it again and as he wakes up to find Max looking over him and says that Attea, her group of bounty hunters, and even Vilgax have all gotten away.
Molly Gunther shows him a hologram, of Vilgax escaping the prison when Attea and the bounty hunters started waking up, Ben is upset, saying how he let everyone get away, but Max tells Ben that he did his best. Back on her ship, Attea attempts to plead with her father, but he is disappointed that she hasn't defeated Vilgax, since his home planet had put up a fight, forcing him to retreat. She promises to make it up to him and mockingly threatens there will be trouble if there isn't, very unhappy with her fathers words, Attea flies at her next destination.
