"You think poor Yarnaby was my only pet? You know far less than you believe." The Doctor said.

Ben slowly gets up and notices Baba Chops coming towards him.

"Hello, Tentails." Baba Chops said.

Ben starts running away from her.

"We got to help Tentails!" Dogday said.

Catnap nods.

"Let's start finding a way to get down there safely." Catnap said.

Daisy meows affirmatively.

Ben runs around trying to find a way out. Catnap, Dogday, and Daisy made it down to the room.

"Hey, you mean butt! Over here!" Dogday shouted to get Baba Chops's attention.

Ben sees the opportunity to hide from it. He hid in a room but then the door shut behind him.

"Guys! Help!" Ben shouted as he bangs on the door.

"Do you believe you're taking the moral high road? Is that what you believe? Dear Ben 10, let me illustrate for you an obvious truth. Survival necessitates choices. Difficult choices... This one is yours. If you want to leave this room, it'll come at a cost. It's this little life or yours." The Doctor said.

Ben noticed Simon Smoke stuck inside a tank. Ben noticed that he has to kill him in order to leave the room. He grabbed the plug and was about to plug it in.

"Tentails, man. Don't do it, please." Simon said inside the tank.

His voice and eyes were telling him he's being serious. He reminds Ben of Yarnaby, maybe the Nightmare Critters are not monsters, Harley is using the Omni-Hand to make them act this way. Ben drops the plugs and slaps the Omnitrix to turn into Tentails's big monstrous from. He uses his claws to break the tank and he grabs Simon Smoke.

"Thank you, man." Simon said.

Ben looks around to escape.

"The door might hard to bust through but not the windows!" Ben said as he breaks the window.

He sees Catnap, Dogday, and Daisy trying to fight Baba Chops. Catnap and Dogday were in their big monstrous forms. Catnap noticed Simon in his hand.

"Why are you with Simon Smoke?!" Catnap said.

"Tentails, get away from him, he's dangerous!" Dogday said.

"Wait, guys, it's not what you think. I don't think they're always evil!" Ben said.

Simon Smoke noticed Baba Chops.

"Baba?" Simon said.

Simon escapes from Ben's grasp and walked over to Baba.

"Baba, it's me, Simon! You have to fight it!" Simon said.

Baba lungs at Simon leaving Catnap and Dogday speechless, Baba was attacking her friend. Baba growls as she penned Simon down.

"I know you're still in there Baba. You need to remember who you are!" Simon shouted.

Then Baba stopped growling as she got off of Simon.

"Oooh, what happened? Simon? Oh no, I was affected by Harley Sawyer's control again was I?" Baba Chops said.

"Yes, you were. Welcome back." Simon Smoke said.

Catnap, Dogday, and Ben transformed back.

"So, my hunch was correct. Just like Yarnaby, the Nightmare Critters are also affected by the Omni-Hand." Ben said.

"We're very sorry, we were never meant to be mean and hurt you." Simon said.

"By the way, I've never liked that Twintails guy." Baba said.

Apology accepted." Catnap said.

"Well you better get to Safe Haven, that place blocks out the Omni-Hand's powers." Ben said.

"Thank you, Tentails. If you find the rest of our friends, bring them back okay?" Baba Chops said.

"You can count on us." Ben said.
