Under the golden apple tree, there is a basket containing sixteen small coloured pouches in team and knight colours! They contain flower seeds; one seed per team member or knight. You instinctively know that you should plant them somewhere, anywhere in Aather, to regain the memories they contain. They don’t immediately sprout anything when planted, but. . .given some time, sun, soil and water, they’ll eventually grow into whatever kind of flower you each like best. ♥ (Gained from the Aather Plot: Operation, Rescue the Prince)
Summary: Ben fights a mysterious alien that can transform into his aliens' natural predators. While he's Big Chill, he becomes prey to his enemy's ability of hypnosis and struggles to break free.
BEN: This thing can match me alien for alien now. But what about an alien you've never seen before? [transforms into big chill]
ZED: [transforms into a psycholeopterran]
BEN: Huh? . . .oh. . . ohhhh. . . . BEN: Never thought I'd see one of you guys again.
BEN: Khyber and his buddies have been collecting alien predator DNA for the last five years. BEN: Woah!
BEN: But if this is about taking me out, how come Khyber isn't here for his big moment? He wouldn't let his dog hog all the glory.
BEN: Splat like a bug on a windshield!
BEN: . . .duh. Of course it can go intangible too. It's my . . .natural . . .predator.
CROWD: [cheering WE LOVE YOU BEN 10] DREAM!BEN: Yeheah! Thank you! I love you all too, but not as much as you love me.
BEN: . . .no . . . this isn't what it's about. I'm . . . a hero.
DREAM!BEN: Being a hero isn't about fame. It's about putting other people before yourself or what you want. It's about doing the right thing just because it's the right thing to do. It's about making a difference.
Appearances: Zed (Psycholeopterran), Armadrillo, Big Chill
→ holy shit I have a predator. like an actual enemy that was probably created specifically to destroy me and can do so → wait so like has this been going on for five years or something like I don't see why they would be gathering alien predator DNA otherwise? am I not the only one with the Omnitrix? this answers no questions → who the hell is Khyber. he must be the mastermind. → the big moth alien looks FAMILIAR but there's no name to it in memory. → !! COOL ALIENS THOUGH . . . AND . . . ALSO . . . ALIEN PREDATORS . . . shit → '-' i really want attention → but that's not what a hero is. → it's not about me.
Memories come in the form of a multicolor alphabet block, and comes with a note: Ask "What is a memory?" to use. You can use it five times. (Persona memory share game)
MAN: [cough] Madison? Where's Madison? MADISON: Daddy! MAN: My little girl's in there! MAN: Ben 10? BEN: I've got this, sir. XLR8 will have her out lickity split. [transforms into rath]

RATH: SHOW YOURSELF, DOLLY. RATH DOESN'T HAVE ALL DAY.
RATH: HUH? WHAT? . . .HEY. GWEN: Did you miss us? KEVIN: Hey, Tennyson.
RATH: LET ME TELL YA SOMETHING, KEVIN E. LEVIN AND GWEN TENNYSON, FORMER TEAMMATES BACK FROM COLLEGE. YOU SHOW UP OUTTA NOWHERE IN RATH'S TOWN, AND SAVE RATH? NOBODY SAVES RATH. RATH SAVES HIMSELF! . . .DOLLY. GWEN: Yell at us later. Come on!
BEN: Aaah!! [crowd cheers] [building breaks down]
BEN: It's good to see you guys.
Appearances: Ben Tennyson, Rath, Gwen Tennyson, Kevin Levin
→ SO THIS ENTIRE MEMORY IS POSITIVE but it's through Rath-filter. Which means it's aggressive the entire time. there isn't really pure unadulterated happiness here there is only anger but that's the Rath part. The Ben part is ecstatic when he sees Kevin & Gwen! Which shows a whole lot more with a bunch of dere and enthusiasm at the end of the memory. (he even hugs them! initiating contact!) → not entirely sure about it but he thinks this may be the first time he's seen them since college happened. which is correct. → he sees them again! he sees them again! ALL IS WELL HE STILL GETS TO SEE HIS COUSIN THEY VISITED HIM THEY DIDN'T FORGET HIM → rath is one angry cat man.
Memories come in the form of a smaller version of the bonus item your team created in Round 2 (if it was an animal/creature, it comes in a stuffed animal version). As to how you obtain the memory from the item... well, that part's up to you. Limitless uses. (It's a pen. Ruby ink. Ballpoint. From Beauty's transformation game.)
Summary: Ben and Rook & Ben 10k and Professor Paradox go back into the past to stop Past!Ben and Past!Rook from making mistakes while also trying to stop the Time Beast so that they can prevent the Time War from ending in a disaster. Ben gets a cool bike.
PROF. PARADOX: Ah, here we are.
PAST!ROOK: My ride! ROOK: We can mourn our ride later. Right now, you must stop Exoskull and Subdora while we stop the time beast. PAST!BEN: What's a time beast? BEN 10K: The one Eon is about to hatch. PAST!BEN: Eon? He's here too!? PROF. PARADOX: Yes, but you and I will take care of him—future you, of course, not the one of yous that you are now. PAST!BEN: . . . wait. So. . .whose butt am I supposed to be kicking? FUTURE CROWD: Theirs!
EON: Time walker. And a late model Ben Tennyson. . . I should have known you two would interfere! PROF. PARADOX: You are the one interfering, Eon. With the very fabric of time, as usual. We did not start this Time War. . . BEN 10K: But we're going to end it. [transforms into big-chuck] Big Chuck!
EON: Give that back! BEN 10K: Gladly!
BEN: Lemme guess. Time beast?
ROOK: Our time cycles are impervious to time attacks! BEN: How awesome is that!? A million awesome!!
ROOK: It is heading up to Bellwood! BEN: Not on our watch.
BEN: Get ready to—ahh! . . .hooouughhh. . .
ROOK: Launch containment field on my mark. Now! BEN: Launch what!? ROOK: Now!! BEN: . . .hmm.
Ben: Yes! The net's locked and holding. Let's take Big Ugly back to the cradle.
ROOK: We de-aged the Time Beast. BEN: Eggs-actly. ROOK: Where are Eon and the others? PROF. PARADOX: The Time Beast was the real threat today. One that you very effectively neutralized. Good work, everyone. Ta-ta for now. PAST!ROOK: Professor. We still seem to have an extra pair of . . . us. SKURD: Well, I could get used to this. Finally! An intelligent life form! PAST!SKURD: Why thank you! The feeling is mutual. PAST!BEN: I need a co-op partner for Sumo Slammers Online anyway! Go Team Tennyson, am I right? BEN: Oh, totally! PROF. PARADOX: Oh, no, that's quite impossible. Uprigg will now craft a second pair of Time Cycles from the wreckage of your vehicles. Which the two of you will pilot back into your own timeline, thus closing the loop. At that point, you and he will become then. They in turn will continue on as you since you will no longer be you once you have become them. It's really quite simple. BEN 10K: . . . . I. . .think we should get started on those other bikes before I forget which one I am.

Summary: Ben, Gwen & Kevin go on what will be their last regular criminal hunt. After capturing Zombozo, Ben tries to convince Gwen and Kevin to stay.
BEN: Yeah, you better run!
KEVIN: I got it! GWEN: Really, Zombozo? What kind of sicko steals from a brain bank? KEVIN: Why does Bellwood even have a brain bank?
ZOMBOZO: Thank you, my boy. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.
BEN: Come on, give me something good. [ Ben turns into Lodestar ] BEN: Not what I was going for, but I can work with this. Kevin! KEVIN: On it!
ZOMBOZO: My brain! I'm losing my mind!
BEN: Come on. You HAVE to admit you love this as much as I do. I can't believe you're really going to leave! KEVIN: Yeah? Wouldn't you skip a few grades of high school if you had some brains? BEN: There are plenty of colleges right here near Bellwood you could go to. GWEN: Not quite the same as the Ivy League.
GWEN: I told you. We've spent years saving the world. I just want to see some of what I've been saving. BEN: I know, I get it. Well, hurry back, Kevin. The troublesome two-o is more than enough to take on whatever the universe dishes out. KEVIN: Uh... I'm not coming back, Ben. I found a place near campus. BEN: ...So—this is goodbye? GWEN: Of course not! There are holidays, and semester breaks... and besides, we're cousins. It's... not like we're never going to see each other again. ...right? BEN: ... Right!
KEVIN: Later, man. Don't do anything I wouldn't do. BEN: Count on it. KEVIN: Come to think of it, don't do anything you'd usually do either.
GWEN: Take care of yourself, doofus. BEN: ... You too, dweeb.
ZOMBOZO: Oh, what a touching moment. Too bad you would have never caught me all by your lonesome. BEN: Watch it, Zombozo. I don't need a team to get the job done. I'm a superhero! I can do this alone, no problem.
BEN: ... why am I telling this to a crazy monster clown? Time to put my money where my mouth is! ....but first, time to put food where my mouth is.
Appearances: Ben, Gwen, Kevin, Lodestar, Zombozo
→ Kevin & Gwen are super close—not certain if Kevin is part of his family BUT he knows Gwen is his cousin → Associating his close family with leaving/abandonment → Refuses to have a team, stubborn about doing things by himself → NOT explicitly afraid of clowns at this moment but there's always a terrible little feeling in the back of his head → Learned he has a watch that has multiple aliens (enough that he can pick and choose; "Come on, give me something good"/"Not what I was going for, but I can work with this.") → Learned Kevin & Gwen have powers (Kevin can absorb material and turn into that material; Gwen has magic energy stuff? not very specific) → Learned Lodestar → Learned Gwen is of high school age?

day 450 // He just felt different. Better. Like he was a part of me.
Summary: Ben reminisces: after getting into an argument with his family, Ben tries to fight Malware, and loses Feedback.
Ben: We need to find Malware. Azmuth: Slow down, Ben. You don't want a repeat of what happened to Feedback. Rook: And what exactly happened to Feedback? Azmuth: You never told your partner? Ben: . . . Feedback was my go-to alien. I don't know why I liked being him so much. He just . . . felt different. Better. Like he was part of me.
Ben: Man.
Ben: Azmuth. What are you doing here? Max: We need to talk to you about Feedback. It's not healthy to grow too dependent on any one alien form. Azmuth: If you keep overusing the Conductoid DNA, it will have a detrimental effect on your ability to control other forms. Ben: What, so don't use Feedback anymore? Forget that!
Gwen: Ben, wait! Ben: You made them say that, didn't you, Gwen? 'cuz you're so jealous you can't turn into aliens, like me! Gwen: You honestly believe Azmuth would listen to me or anyone else? You did this to yourself, Ben! Ben: I'm the one wearing the Omnitrix! I can turn into whichever alien I want! And no one can stop me! Malware: I beg to differ.
Malware: I am here for Azmuth. Ben: You picked the wrong hero to mess with again. Gwen: So you pick the right hero, Ben! Remember the only time you ever beat him was as Diamondhead!
Gwen: This is no time to try to make a point! Ben: Relax, Gwen. See? What goes around, comes around. Malware: Excellent suggestion. Gwen: Come on, Ben! Turn into Diamondhead, quick! Before Malware— Malware: Destroys the Omnitrix?
Malware: My, my. Isn't this a surprising turn of events? If I am not mistaken, this seems to be your favorite alien, Ben Tennyson. Correct? Not anymore. Ben: Nooooo! Malware: Though I am here for Azmuth, I wish to destroy him with his most precious creation. The Omnitrix. Now. Ben: You want it so bad? Here! Malware: Yes! Yes! The power of the Omnitrix flows through me! It is me! No—it's overloading me! Stop! Max: Ben, don't!
Azmuth: Though we thought Malware was destroyed, as a fail-safe, the Omnitrix would never accept DNA from the Conductoid species again. Ben: That's what happened to Feedback. And it was all my fault. Happy now? Rook: . . . I am sorry, Ben. I did not realize. Ben: Just forget it, alright? I wish I could.
Appearances: Ben Tennyson, Max Tennyson, Gwen Tennyson, Azmuth, Malware, Feedback
Summary: Ben and Rook are out on patrol; Ben is bored and fiddles with the Proto-truck and in an attempt to keep him from breaking his ride, Rook starts needling him with questions. Ben doesn't like these questions.
BEN: Auuuhh. This patrol is a real yawn fest. ROOK: There are festivals for yawning? BEN: It means I'm bored.
ROOK: Would you please stop that!? BEN: Can't help it. When I'm bored, I fiddle. ROOK: It is a wonder you have not destroyed the Omnitrix with your fiddling. BEN: Actually I have. More than once.
ROOK: Perhaps we could pass the time more constructively with conversation. We have been partners for a while now, yet we barely know the first thing about one another. BEN: What do you wanna know? Favorite color, favorite food, hobbies? ROOK: Green, chili fries, and collecting something called Sumo Slammers. All obvious within minutes of meeting you. BEN: . . . right. You want more personal stuff. Worst fear, first crush. . . distinctive body marks. ROOK: Peacocks, Patty Berkinfeld, third grade, scar on your lower back in the shape of something called New Jersey. BEN: . . . what? ROOK: I read your file. BEN: Those Plumber background checks are thorough. As in, TMI thorough. ROOK: I did notice one omission in your files that piqued my curiosity. BEN: Ask me anything! I'm an open book. ROOK: Tell me about "Feedback". BEN: . . .That book's closed.
ROOK: By all indications, Feedback was your most utilized alien form for a long stretch of time in your early career. Then suddenly, and without explanation, your use abruptly ceased for good. Curious, no? BEN: No. And I don't want to talk about it. ... I didn't use him that much.
