Ben Tennyson thought he'd seen it all. Monsters, warlords, tyrants-none of it compares to what comes next. When an ancient terror called Archvis awakens and a mysterious figure called the Wrench steps from the shadows. Then come the Amalgams-hybrid soldiers bred for one purpose: to take his Omnitrix.
