Ben stared in disbelief. Grandpa Max, seemingly resurrected, had shielded him from Paradox's most devastating attack. But how? Max was supposed to be frozen in time, yet here he was, standing defiantly between Ben and certain destruction.
Paradox recoiled, his expression a mixture of shock and fury. "Impossible! How can you be here? You were frozen! I controlled the timelines!"
Max's eyes, usually filled with warmth and wisdom, now burned with an intensity Ben had never seen before. "You underestimate the bonds of family, Paradox. You may control time, but you cannot control the will to protect those you love." He turned to Ben, a faint smile gracing his lips. "I'm not sure how, Ben, but something… snapped me out of it. I felt your power, your struggle, and I knew I had to be here."
Before Ben could respond, Max turned back to Paradox, his posture hardening. "This ends now, Paradox. Your reign of temporal tyranny is over."
Max lunged towards Paradox. Paradox quickly blasts him with a time beam. However, Max teleports away just in time! "You may control time, but I have centuries of experience on you" says Max. Paradox then sighs as he gets ready for another attack. "Ha! Is that all you got? I'm not even trying!"
With a mighty roar, Max engages Paradox in hand-to-hand combat, a whirlwind of punches, kicks, and blocks that defied his age. Paradox, despite his control over time, was forced to defend, his movements becoming increasingly frantic. "You cannot defeat me, Max! I am beyond your comprehension!" shouted Paradox. With an opening, Max quickly kicks Paradox, sending him backwards. Paradox prepares for his next attack. But how?! Max already knows what he is planning. It seems his experience has truly surpassed Paradox.
"It's time to use everything I have." Max closes his eyes. As the dust settles around him, Max has achieved a new form?! This could not be possible. Paradox is shocked as he sees what he has become. Max has achieved his ultimate form. A being of pure light, ready to vanquish all evil. Ben stares in awe. This is the Max he has always known. The hero that inspires him. With his new power, Max dashes at Paradox. Paradox does not know what to expect. Max then kicks Paradox with incredible force. Paradox flies across the dessert wasteland. He crashes. The power that Max is radiating is too much for Paradox to withstand. He is reverting. With a chant, Paradox uses his remaining strength, to open up a portal. "I may have lost this battle, but I will win the war!"
Paradox teleports away to safety. It is finally over. The heroes have prevailed! Ben turns back to Max. Ben rushes to Max. "Grandpa! You're back!" Ben hugs Max with all his might. Max smiles and pats Ben on the back. "It's good to be back, Ben. It's good to be back." Suddenly, the ground starts to shake. The dimension is collapsing! "We have to get out of here!" shouted Max. The heroes quickly run to try to find a portal. However, there is no portal in sight. Ben has a plan. Ben focuses his new power, to try and open a portal back to Earth. He is able to create a portal, but it is unstable. "We have to go now! The dimension is about to collapse!" shouted Ben. The heroes quickly jump into the portal. They make it just in time, as the dimension collapses behind them. What will the heroes do next? Now that Paradox is gone, will they finally be able to rest? Or will there be more challenges to come? To be continued…
As the heroes return to the base, Ben gets an alarm. The alarm indicates there is a breach in security. "What now?!" shouts Kevin. The heroes rush outside, and see a massive army approaching the base. The army is led by Eon and Albedo. Eon smirks and says, "It's time for the final battle!" Albedo also adds, "We will destroy you all!" Ben knows that this is going to be a tough fight. However, he is ready. He has to protect his friends, and the universe. He activates the Ultimatrix. Time for one more transformation.
As Ben gets ready to transform, the heroes think to themselves on what's to come next. However, Ben is ready. He is ready to give it his all, with his ultimate form. There will be no remorse. And there will be no holding back. This is it. Ben Tennyson will give it his all in his ultimate battle. "It's hero time!" Ben slams down on the Ultimatrix!
As the Ultimate transformation completes, it has revealed a familiar foe once more. But enhanced by Alien X, Ben is ready to use everything to defeat what comes towards him. Even his closest allies aren't aware on what is about to happen. Albedo seeing this new transformation gets worried as Eon reassures "Ben is nothing. With the two of us together we will come out on top!" With all hope depending on Ben, and the world watching to what happens next, the heroes are ready to engage in this final battle. But who did Ben transform into…?
As the light fades, Ben stands before them, a figure of immense power and unsettling familiarity. He is Ultimate Vilgax. But this Vilgax is different. His body is now covered in time fractured armor. As well as galaxy patterns. He is ready. The final battle is here. "It is time to finish this once and for all" says Ben. With no time to waste Ben unleashes all that he has. As he does, Albedo, and Eon were no match for his power. Ben sends the two flying. This is it. But what will happen to our heroes? Will Ultimate Vilgax go rogue? Or will he save the day? Find out next time!
As Ben gets ready to unleash his true power, a new foe appears from the horizon. It is Paradox? Ben says "But I thought I defeated you!" Paradox teleports next to Eon and Albedo and replies "I am from an alternate timeline. One where you failed." Ben clenches his fists. "I won't let you win!" Will Ben save the day? Or will this alternate Paradox reign supreme? Ben powers up. Ready for another battle. Can he really keep going?
As he charges up, Alternate Paradox says, "There's no need. We all are going to die anyway." Ben pauses in confusion, but knows that Paradox may have something to do with this. What is Paradox planning? The battle has yet to begin, and so much more is about to be revealed! However, Ben will be prepared for it all!
As Ben prepares to fight, Albedo and Eon prepare to fight. They are ready to give it their all, as they have nothing to lose. All hope rides on Ben. Will he save the day? Or will he fail? The fate of the universe, depends on this one battle!
