Then the mini TV started turning on showing an eyeball.

"Mmmm, now what's this? Do I feel something its way through my skin?" The voice said.

"If it isn't the great Ben 10. The alien superhero, a former plumber, a smiling critter." The voice continued. 

"How did you...?" Ben said. 

The cart started to shake, Ben fell to the ground. Ben's heartbeat starts pupping and his breathing became more intense. He huffs out his breath repeatedly. 

"... Well, Ben 10, let's make a game of you. You've blundered along the shadows above, and only managed to squirm all the way down here but by the barest skin of your teeth. There are no shadows here that would be of use to you. Not even the ground beneath your feet is yours." The voice said.

Ben tries to stand up, but the shaking causes him to fall again. 

"This doesn't concern you, Doctor. Don't test what Tentails is capable of." Catnap said.

"Ah, Catnap. Long time no see. Looks like you stopped working for my master and started helping this little alien boy." The Doctor said.

"It doesn't matter, there are no places you two can hide. Not from me." The Doctor said as he let's out an evil laugh.

The cart stopped, Ben and Catnap comes out of the cart.

"Who was that guy? You called him Doctor right?" Ben asked Catnap.

"Yes, Tentails. He also works for the Prototype. He's also the mastermind of this prison." Catnap said.

They continued walking, Ben uses the Grabpack to lift himself up avoiding contact with the corpse on the wall. Him and Catnap started crawling into the vents. Ben uses the blue hand to scan to open the door. They entered the prison. They noticed two Smiling Critters by the door. 

"Catnap, look! There's some Smiling Critters down here." Ben said.

Ben approached the Shark and Crocodile Smiling Critters.

"Hi, I'm Tentails." Ben said as he slaps the Omnitrix and transformed into his Smiling Critter form.

"I'm Smiling Critter, just like you two." Ben said.

"Tentails! Wait! They aren't Smiling Critters! They're members of the Nightmare Critters!" Catnap said as he pulls Ben aside to protect him.

"I wasn't expecting to see you guys again Allister and Maggie." Catnap said.

"Why hello, Catnap. How Dogday's legs? Has he lost his Femur?" Maggie Mako taunts.

"Hey! What a horrible thing to say!" Ben said as he approached them. 

"Heh, heh. Oh, Tentails. You always try to be the hero of the group. Twintails was right, you are a big softy." Allister Gator said. 

"Twintails?" Ben asked.

"Let's go, Allister." Maggie Mako said as they climb up the rumble and into the tunnels.
