(Our heroes then walked to the guard station and showed up at Slix's living quarters, only to find nothing there when they opened the door.)
Grey Matter: "The controls to the emergency escape pods should be somewhere."
(Grey Matter said as he and his sister examined the room, trying to find the controls.)
Jen: "That Slix guy said that he controls everything on this ship from here."
(Jen remembered.)
Allison: "But where?"
(Allison asked.)
Slix: "Actually, that's not quite accurate."
(Slix said as his holograms appeared all around them.)
Slix: "What I said was these hands control everything on the ship. Including them."
(Suddenly, a bunch of guards appeared all around them and surrounded the four as they all stood back to back.)
Slix: "And, unlike you, they have no problems with finishing off their opponents."
(The guards bared their weapons at them as Grey Matter looked on nervously.)
Slix: "I told you: these eyes see everything. And so will everybody else."
(As this was going on, the camera revealed that the standoff was being projected on the screens in the arena by some cameras in the area as the crowd could see everything going on, causing them to go insane with cheers.)
Slix: "But your demise will not be the opening act; theirs' will."
(He revealed that he had captured Technorg and the other gladiators and they were all gathered in the arena while they were being restrained by more shackles.)
(An opening was revealed in the floor and revealed a bunch of hungry alien beasts that snarled as the gladiators gasped in shock.)
Grey Matter: "If we're going down-"
(Grey Matter started.)
Kevin: "-we're going down fighting."
(Kevin said as Jen suited up and Allison got ready for fighting.)
(They all charged as they all engaged in battle with the guards as Allison ducked and absorbed the metal from one of the guards and morphed her hands into mallets that she used to smash some guards in the head and Jen gave energy punches and kicks to each of them as she shot her head up.)
(Grey Matter used his guard to slice some of the others up and fired some energy bolts at them as Kevin smashed others in the group with his brute strength and roared out.)
(The four then turned as the guards fired energy blasts at them as they gasped.)
Kevin: "I can still..."
(Kevin began as he showed his fire powers.)
Jen: "You don't have to."
(Jen said, holding him back.)
Jen: "Just cover your nose and hold your breath. You do not want to be on the receiving end of this, trust me."
(Jen dialed her Omnitrix before slamming the core down, initiating the Omnitrix sank into her wrist and she grew pink fur with white patches from the wrist down as it snaked up to her body as her hands grew sharp claws and her muscle mass increased as she spun around.)
(She grew a long pink bushy tail with a white streak through the middle as her feet shifted to paws as the fur made its way up to her face as she clutched her eyes open again, revealing them to be pink with black sclera.)
(Her clothes morphed into a pink one-piece leotard with the Omnitrix symbol beneath her breastbones.)
(She whipped her tail to the screen and she struck a pose.)
Allison: "That's a new one."
(Allison said as Stinkbomb finished as she bared her claws towards them.)
Stinkbomb: "This is Stinkbomb."
(she explained as she lifted her tail and nodded as the others held their breath and she turned to the guards.)
Stinkbomb: "And this is you going bye-bye!"
(She then focused hard and unleashed a cloud of toxic gas that filled the room immediately as the guard's circuitry seized up and started sparking out from the chemical fumes surrounding them as she looked to Kevin and ducked for cover as she nodded to him.)
(Kevin grinned before the others ducked for cover behind the walls to avoid the fumes in the room before he lit up a fireball and tossed it into the room, igniting the gas and causing a huge explosion which destroyed the rest of the robots as they smiled.)
Grey Matter: "Nice teamwork there."
(Grey Matter said to his sister and Kevin.)
Kevin: "If you try to hug me, you're going to get slugged."
(Kevin warned as Grey Matter's Omnitrix timed out, turning him back to Ben.)
(Then, more guards appeared from behind doors, which Stinkbomb glared as she let loose another cloud of gas, which shielded their escape as they ran to the balcony to see the gladiator aliens.)
(Technorg struggled and then burst out of his shackles using nothing but his brute strength and glared towards the guards.)
(The guards zapped him using their staffs and forced him over the edge, causing him to dangle over the wild alien beasts below.)
(The crowd cheered at this as Slix stood on his balcony observing everything... until...)
Allison: "Look out below!"
(Allison called from above as Kevin dropped down on her brother's shoulder along with Ben as he and Stinkbomb tackled him.)
Kevin: "What do you think of this?!"
(Kevin shouted.)
Ben: "Ease up, dude."
(Ben said.)
Ben: "We still need him to release the escape pods."
Kevin: "I'm done listening to you three."
(Kevin spat as he turned and held Slix in the air and tossed him into the arena as the gladiators and guards were battling and the crowd was loving every minute of it.)
Slix: "This isn't part of the show..."
(Slix said as his cybernetic body started giving out sparks.)
Slix: "I've got no... got to... stop... stop... stop..."
(As he stuttered, his guards started sparking out as well and they all shut down as the gladiators stopped fighting them and stared in confusion.)
Ben: "Wait a minute..."
(Ben thought as he looked at the guards.)
Ben: "Of course!"
(Kevin hopped down to the arena with his companions as Stinkbomb ran over to Technorg and shot her tail out to him.)
Stinkbomb: "Come on! Grab my tail!"
(Stinkbomb said as Technorg nodded and let go of the ledge before grabbing onto Stinkbomb's tail and she struggled in effort as she swung the former champion onto the ledge and they both panted out from using so much energy.)
Technorg: "You saved my life."
(Technorg said as Stinkbomb panted out with a sigh.)
Stinkbomb: "Don't mention it."
(she said.)
Stinkbomb: "Really, don't."
(Her eyes then rolled back into her head and she fainted into Technorg's arms as her Omnitrix timed out, leaving her as Jen again.)
(Kevin angrily stomped towards Slix as Ben tried in vain to hold him back.)
Ben: "Kevin, no! Wait!"
(Ben shouted.)
Allison: "If you destroy him, we have no way off this ship!"
(Allison warned.)
(Kevin angrily picked up the cybernetic alien and was about to throw him to the beasts... just before a green light flashed behind him and Slix was overtaken by Upgrade's patterns, indicating Ben had possessed him.)
Kevin: "What?"
(Kevin asked.)
Upgrade: "I said wait."
(Upgrade sternly said as Kevin set him down.)
Kevin: "How did you..."
Upgrade: "This guy doesn't just operate the control console, he is the control console. And now I control everything on this ship."
(Upgrade explained as Slix's robes fell away, revealing his completely robotic body.)
Kevin: "Well goody-goody for you."
(Kevin said as Upgrade released the shackles on both him and Kevin and Jen and Allison as Kevin walked away to the rest room to find a way off the ship.)
(Technorg passed the sleeping Jen to Allison as she pet her head.)
Allison: "Easy, Jenny."
(she said.)
Allison: "We're going to be okay."
(Upgrade the flying device where the controls to the Megacruiser were as his sister stirred awake.)
Jen: "Huh? What did I miss?"
(she asked.)
System: "Initiating intergalactic hyperjump launch."
Upgrade: "Whoa!"
(Upgrade gasped.)
Upgrade: "I didn't do that! And I can't override it!"
(He typed into the Megacruiser's controls before he saw his liquid metal body peeling away from Slix as he glared out.)
Slix: "You don't have as much control over me as you thought."
(Slix said before Technorg punched him in the face, allowing Upgrade to regain control.)
Technorg: "We must get to the escape pods before we blast off to the next galaxy."
Allison: "Teleport us out of here, Ben!"
(Allison stated.)
Upgrade: "With pleasure."
(he said as he pressed a button and teleported himself, his companions and the rest of the gladiators out.)
