Ben discovers that the Forever Knights are trading weapons with the DNAliens, while at the same time, Grandpa Max has mysteriously gone missing. He decides to return the Omnitrix on his wrist and go hero once again.

Ben, Gwen, and Kevin follow a lead that takes them to a secret base in the desert. There they hope to find Grandpa Max but instead find a Highbreed spaceship with a giant cannon.

A signal from Kevin's Plumber badge leads Ben's team to a cornfield where local police pursue a Pyronite-human hybrid they blame for crop circles and recent area fires.
