Ben, Gwen, and Kevin find a curious alien box called the Naljian Destructor, which can robotically duplicate anything and anyone it sees. It quickly copies the powers of Ben, Gwen, and Kevin as they attempt to destroy it. The Vreedle Brothers then show up to take the Destructor for themselves. As it has already learned to copy the trio's powers and sees them as enemies, they escape easily. However, the Vreedle Brothers return in short order as the Destructor has become uncontrollable and much more destructive. They try to leave it on Earth, but it blows up their ship when they try to retreat. After a long battle, the trio manages to remove its power source. As soon as it's neutralized, an alien arrives to reclaim it, explaining that it is merely an extra-dimensional children's toy.

They soon learn that Vilgax is there to stop the Omnitrix from its source and that the Omnitrix's fail-safe program brought them there to defend the planet. Azmuth attempts to stop Vilgax, but loses and Ben is captured along with Kevin and Gwen. Ben offers to teach Vilgax about the Omnitrix if he lets Gwen and Kevin go. He turns Vilgax into Goop, shuts off Goop's artificial gravity projector and removes the Omnitrix from his immobile body. Ben then uses Way Big to throw a giant Vilgax (caused by the Codan stream) off the planet and, though it doesn't make up for damaging the Omnitrix, Azmuth "thanks" Ben by letting him keep it.

Helen, Manny, and Pierce regroup and try to find Alan. Alan soon finds Ben where he is attacked by Big Chill. Pierce, Manny, and Helen rescue Alan and try to beat Ben, but he manages to escape. Pierce suggests they work together and attack as a team. Soon they find Ben, who goes Humongousaur at full size and fights the Plumbers' Helpers. They soon suggest to attack Ben at once and throw Humongousaur into space. Because Humongosaur's weight threw off the balance of the ship's gravity control backup systems, they realize the ship is crashing to London, so they sacrifice themselves for Earth by self-destructing the ship, but it doesn't explode.

Kevin then asks Ben and Gwen if they know anything about Ragnarok, and when they tell him they don't he tells them to stay out of the situation. The two, now concerned, ask Grandpa Max if he knows anything about the escape. He confesses to having a partner named Devin, who risked his life to stop Ragnarok several years ago. His partner's full name was none other than Devin Levin, Kevin's father. Ben and Gwen track Kevin with his Plumber's badge and together, they force Ragnarok to flee. Gwen then helps Kevin find the "key" which is revealed to be disguised as a picture frame of a younger Kevin and his father, but Ragnarok steals it, then teleports to his ship. Ben, Gwen, and Kevin manage to transport themselves via the same signal, but before they find Ragnarok, Kevin tricks the other two to get into an escape pod. With Ben and Gwen descending down to Earth, Kevin can now exact his vengeance without interference. He and Ragnarok battle, while Kevin causes the entire ship to destabilize into a vortex. Ragnarok begs Kevin to save him, stating that his father would too. Despite his desperation, Kevin merely takes his key and deliberately allows him to get sucked into the vortex. 
45-46 "The Final Battle" Dan Riba & Butch Lukic Dwayne McDuffie March 26, 2010 (2010-03-26) 319-320
Albedo steals the incomplete Ultimatrix (a new device which Azmuth is working on) from Azmuth's lab and completes it. He tries revert to his old form but he is not able to, for he needs the Omnitrix. Soon Vilgax proposes that the two of them should take revenge on Ben. Myaxx warn Azmuth of the Ultrimatrix's disappearance. Meanwhile, Ben is captured by an old enemy, Kraab. Gwen and Kevin, along with Ship, take flight to rescue Ben, while in the process destroys Kraab's ship, and rescuing Kraab as well. Later, Albedo defeats and captures Kevin (as Diamondhead) and Gwen (as Swampfire) and fails to defeat Max as Spidermonkey so runs away as Rath. Max goes to Ben's house and Albedo appears on his TV, blackmailing Ben to come to his friends' rescue. Albedo, as Humugousaur, turns into Ultimate Humungousaur, with the power of the Ultimatrix, and fights Ben as Humungosaur. Ben discovers that Albedo has been working in conjunction with Vilgax. In order to save his friends, Ben gives up the Omnitrix to Vilgax. Max arrives and frees Ben and the gang and gives Gwen her old spell book which she uses to cast a teleportation spell that allows the gang to escape. Vilgax betrays Albedo, keeping the Omnitrix (against their deal) and uses it to turn his army of bioids into Humongousaurs. Albedo fights and defeat most of them as Ultimate Humongousaur but they eventually defeat him. Ashamed from what he recently did, Ben runs away into the forest where Gwen comes to help him but she is unable to as Ben is too depressed. Ben cries out Azmuth's name for help. Behind him, Azmuth reveals to Ben the secrets to the Ultimatrix and how to defeat Vilgax and Albedo. Powerless, Ben along with Gwen, Kevin, and Max, go aboard Vilgax's ship and faces off with Vilgax to stop his invasion of Earth. Ben sets the Omnitrix on self-destruct when Vilgax denies surrendering it and eventually the Omnitrix self-destructs, which causes Kevin to return to his normal self. Ben then sets Albedo's Ultramatrix to self-destruct as well, but Albedo gives the Ultimatrix to Ben and shuts off the self-destruct. With the Omnitrix destroyed, Ben goes off and fights Vilgax with Swampfire from the Ultimatrix, but since Swampfire is too weak, he soon becomes Ultimate Swampfire and fights Vilgax while Gwen and Max take control of Vilgax's ship which is about to crash onto Earth. As the ship drowns underwater, Ben escapes Vilgax's true alien form, a giant octopus-like creature, and comes to surface as Jetray where Gwen, Kevin and Max are floating after the ship's fusion drive explodes, apparently with Ben still inside it. Ben appears shortly afterwards and the whole gang hugs. Kevin wondered if Vilgax is alive and if he will return, but Ben says, "If he ever does, it's hero time!"
