After Ben returns from his story break, he started at the news of him being broadcast and given a bad reputation by a reporter named Will Hanger. It didn't go well after he saw the swarm of reporters on his lawn, not even driving his new car that was given by his best friend helped. He was able to find the culprit but wasn't expecting a child, no older than ten years old, and very handy in technology. His name was Jimmy Jones and has a piece of information about an alien, he found out about five of each unique species were kidnapped and their escape ship landed to earth. He then proceeds at meeting the rest of the crew, while unknowingly were captured by the enemy. One of the five were able to conform but wrongly accused him, the enemy is known as Aggreggor barely knew of his abilities nor the Ultimatrix he possesses. He then explains the race to collect the pieces of a map that were scattered by Paradox, one that leads to where the villain seeks:

Bruce- (scowling to the floor, thinking)If it's a celestial-sapien then he'll be having a hard time absorbing it, (eyes widen at realization)unless.

Ben- (swallowing his milk)A new universe has been created. (grabbing a smores) Or as you guessed, born in this case. (chomping)

Jason- (fishing a chip)As strange as it sounds, (waving and pointing to the youngest)how were they born? (before dipping to the salsa)

Ben- Mother celestial, (grabbing the pitcher of smoothie)has more than two conscience or voices like I told you before besides me. (serving his own glass)

Tim- (scowling)So they debated this a lot for more than just (raising a brow)eons? Must be some headache. (sipping his coffee)

Ben- (cleaning his fingers)Light years, (putting down his glass cup)correction. (putting both sides of his hands to show the group)The infant will be protected by her hands until the personas are awakened. (showing the cookie and chocolate)That's when Aggreggor steals their power so that the two voices never manifest on him.

John- (shocked, together with the bat-group)That's crazy, having that much power at his own pace is a disaster. Not to mention, (glaring with hatred, not aiming to anyone)at the snap of his fingers.

Dick- But you stopped him, (expectant to the boy)right?

Ben- No, (guilt and shame on his face, forgetting the beverage)it was my best friend that paid the absolute price. (fidgeting at his cup)

He explains his encounter with a younger version of him, letting him spill the beans about his true feelings and burdens to his teammates. Follow up with distracting the younger with his own, trying very hard not to unveil any information about acquiring the device. His fight and lose consciousness in the middle of a crisis, feeling Kevin absorbing the energy from the Ultimatrix. Getting drunk on power that he started to hunt other species on earth, endangering every life. He favors the energy that is full of life, making his grandma an example. Ben also tells how he fought Gwen because she was too focused on helping her boyfriend, the wielder's search for his best friend in hopes of slowing him. But also to buy his cousin some time on finding a solution, even if she has to trust an enemy:

Ben- (with a fond smile)We settled everything, and Kevin understands that too.

Jason- (whistled lowly)That's one solid trust he got there. (looking to Bruce and his brothers)It made me think you guys are more than just friends.

Ben- He's like a brother to me, (playing a shoot-hoop with a popcorn)one that we can never have but just click.

Verdona- Ben, (grabbing the boy's attention)what do you know about manna? (these surprise others)

Ben- (giving a few thinking)it's an energy that lives around us, (scowling unsure)a life-force in every living creature?

Verdona- (chuckling the lad's expression)And what do you 'think' about manna? (with a bit of smirk)
