[[AC:"Ten V Ten"]]
* Sunset realizes that Devious and Chrysalis are deliberately holding back during their fight, and after a quick conversation with the other teams [[SpottingTheThread realizes only six of the nine known villains are attacking]] and they are just distracting them.
* The initial fight against the villains in the climax ends with all nine of them defeated. Seems good for the heroes before Shadow makes his big reveal by EmergingFromTheShadows.
* Shadow reveals that he has created a device that will let him see into other universes and create copies of the technology from them. He intends to use it to find a superior version of the Omnitrix and use it to defeat Flash and his friends. He succeeds in finding what he was looking for, revealing the Ultimatrix at the end of the chapter and transforming into Ultimate Riot-Horn with it.
[[AC:"The Ultimate Opponent [=PT1=]"]]
* Shadow confirms that the VillainTeamUp he has organized throughout the season is his own iteration of The Negative Ten.
* The Rainbooms gear up in a LockAndLoadMontage to help Flash, Trixie, and Shining fight against the villains.
* The BadassBoast from both Shadow and Flash before the heroes and villains battle in a ten vs ten fight in the Plumber Base.
-->'''Shadow:''' Nowhere left to hide, heroes!\\
'''Dragoon:''' Who's hiding, losers? Bring it on!
* Ultimately, the [[TheBadGuyWins villains emerge victorious in the battle in the climax]]. In no small part thanks to Shadow, since not only was his Ultimate Aiens form too much for anyone to beat, he was actually able to outsmart Azmuth by [[RemovedAchillesHeel revealing he knew about Azmuth's wand to shut down to Omnitrix and altered the Ultimatrix so it wouldn't work on it]], and gave Viral immunity to the base's new firewall so she could take it over again.
[[AC:"The Ultimate Opponent [=PT2=]"]]
* While in the middle of a HeroicBSOD, Flash reflects on the battle with Shadow and realizes if Shadow hadn't of turned back to normal he would have killed him. This gives him an EurekaMoment where he discovers Shadow's weakness and how to beat him. He, Trixie, and Shining then callout Shadow to face them alone, [[FlawExploitation exploiting his pride and need to prove himself superior to Flash]] by mocking him with petty insults so he'll fight them without help from the nine other villains he has with him. Although they can't beat him in a straight fight, Flash realizes his Ultimate forms use energy much faster than normal, and they have a VictoryByEndurance when Shadow reverts to normal in the middle of the fight due to the Ultimatrix running out of power. The cherry on top is how the other villains refuse to help him due to his own orders.
* Flash sacrifices the Omnitrix's core to save the city when Shadow sabotages the base's power core. But he quickly replaces it by [[VictorGainsLosersPowers stealing the Ultimatrix's core from Shadow while he's unconscious]], gaining the Ultimatrix for himself.
* Flash using Ultimate Volt-Edge to [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomp the seven remaining members of the Negative Ten]] after Shadow has already been beaten and Devious and Chrysalis [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere abandon the team]].

[[AC:"Parental Misguidance"]]
* When Flash's parents freak out over his latest NearDeathExperience against Zs'Skayr and [[ParentsAsPeople try to get Azmuth to remove the Omnitrix from him]], Azmuth proves to be a ReasonableAuthorityFigure by refusing to take the Omnitrix away from Flash against his will, since he has done nothing to warrant it, and when he immeidately asks Flash what he thinks and Flash says he doesn't want it removed, Azmuth says that's final. He also spends most of the chapter explaining to Trail and Misty how he understands they are worried about Flash but being overprotective of him will do more harm than good to both him and everyone around him, relating what happened with Albedo.
* In a villainous example, Negatine [[GreatEscape successfully breaks out his six allies from prison]] and the seven of them manage to escape by creating decoys of themselves as a diversion for Flash and him unable to chase after them due to preventing other inmates from escaping.
[[AC:"Stars and Shields Forever"]]
* Trixie gets Amethyst Star to expose her powers to her by throwing some makeup at her, with Amethyst bring up her shield reflexively. Then to get her to trust her, Trixie reveals to her that she's Lady Masquerade.
* The Iron Serpent Medallion is so powerful that Devious recalls it was the hardest one he had to retrieve originally. During the battle we see that the shield it creates is even able to stop magic from penetrating it, including Chrysalis' webs.
* Though Trixie successfully keeps another Medallion out of Devious' hands, it turns out that the battle also served as a distraction to allow the other villains to steal some stuff that the mastermind behind their team-up needed. Then, after the villains all regroup, it is revealed to the reader that the mastermind and the main antagonist of the season is non-other than Shadow, Flash's evil copy.

[[AC:"Twilight's Haunting"]]
* After it is revealed that Flash wasn't killed in the explosion, but was stuck in a PartialTransformation, the others help him get back to normal. The alien he transforms into is none other than ''Ghostfreak''! He then proceeds to give the bomber that destroyed the mall and was [[HeroKiller bragging about how he killed Flash]] a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown that eventually has him begging Shining Armor to arrest him.
[[AC:"Group Therapy"]]
* Ghostfreak once again gets a chance to shine in this chapter.
** The very first scene is Flash using him to stop a HostageSituation taking place at a software company.
** He later [[PuppeteerParasite takes over Flash's body while he's sleeping]], changes him into him, and goes after the six villains when they are trying to lure him out and takes them all on by himself in complete silence. This proves Ghostfreak is not only a OneManArmy, but even potentially a StoryBreakerPower for Flash, seeing him take down the villains with brutal efficiency, and [[BringMyBrownPants actually scares Animac]] due to how Flash isn't saying a single thing throughout the entire fight.
[[AC:"Ghostfreaked Out"]]
* Flash finally faces the enemy his future self warned him about, Zs'Skayr! When Ghostfreak escapes from the Omnitrix and announces his true name, Flash remembers the advice his future self gave him, and uses Zs'Skayr's weakness against sunlight against him, while bragging that telling him his name was his worst mistake.
* Azmuth actually gets involved against Zs'Skayr, and tries to help by creating a UV cage to trap him in. It seemingly works, until Zs'Skayr is able to [[FightOffTheKryptonite push his claws through the cage, even as it is burning his hands, and destroy a projector to shut it off]], shocking even Azmuth.
* Flash having himself and Zs'Skayr teleported to the Sahara Desert, where Zs'Skayr is almost instantly destroyed. But as he is destroyed, Zs'Skayr vows he will be back, which Flash knows will be true somehow and promises he'll be ready for him.
* With the reveal that the enemy Flash was warned about at the start of the season is actually a DiscOneFinalBoss, that leaves [[HiddenVillain the mysterious benefactor behind all the other villains]] as the true main antagonist of the season.

* Twilight manages to study the dust created from the magical potion and develops an antidote for the city-wide HatePlague.
* Flash's first use of the final alien unlocked by his future self, Gyrotor. Not only does he easily overpower Devious when their powers clash, absorbing his fireballs with a gale of wind and having the burning winds slam into Devious, he is able to create a trio of weak tornados to help distribute Twilight's cure across the entire city.
* Though Trixie struggles against both Devious and Chrysalis for most of the chapter on her own, when she is left alone while Gyrotor spreads the antidote around town, she finally manages to do a solid illusion for the first time. This catches both villains off-guard long enough for help to arrive and force them to retreat.
* Despite Decious and Chrysalis failing to get any of the Medallions Trixie has, it is revealed they are also working for the mysterious benefactor, and [[XanatosGambit their plan served as the perfect distraction that allowed them to steal what they needed unopposed]].
[[AC:"Break Up Reaction"]]
* The B-Plot of the chapter has Shining take on a solo mission, investigating a strange bank robbery done by someone who can go through walls. This leads to him chasing a biker across town, as the biker phases through several walls, until Shining uses an {{EMP}} to disable the technology letting him do it. Then he interrogates the guy by threatening to turn him over to the Plumbers and "have him probed" to see if he's an alien based on the tech he had, causing him to panic and explain he was given the tech and told to cause some trouble with it.
* When Timber tries to convince Twilight to take him back, Spike speaks up not just as a loyal pet but her friend, telling off Timber that she's not interested in him and reminding Twilight he can't remember the last time she came home gushing about Timber.
* Adagio calls out Timber for not doing anything to help during an emergency with a collapsing building. When he says he doesn't have any powers to help like Flash and Twilight do, Adagio says plenty of normal people with no powers find ways to help, and proves it by helping get everyone stuck in a crashed bus out by smashing the window with a brick and telling everyone who is able to to get out.
* Flash reverts to normal before he can help one more old woman trapped in the collapsing building. Unable to wait for the Omnitrix to recharge, Flash rushes inside in human form and carries the elder woman out on his back himself. Flash acknowledges he could have been killed doing this, but says if he's only a hero with the Omnitrix then he doesn't deserve it.
-->'''Flash:''' I get there are things that I can only do in alien form, but firemen and police officers go into collapsing buildings to save people. If I'm not willing to do the same, what kind of hero am I?

* The fact that everyone managed to survive Viral turning the base into a death trap.
* Flash goes Upgrade for the first time on-screen and fights Viral in the Plumber systems. Though she almost manages to [[DemonicPossession corrupt him and take over his body]], he gets a HeroicSecondWind and manages to almost completely delete her. Unfortunately, a small fragment of her survived and escaped.
* Viral is quickly found by a mysterious individual, who offers to give her a body of her own and a chance for revenge against Flash.
[[AC:"No One Can Hear You Scream"]]
* Flash uses Goop in a zero gravity environment, the same as Goop's home planet, meaning he doesn't need his anti-gravity projector and is in his element.
* Flash defeats the Fictusite with one of his new aliens, Lantool, which has ComicBook/GreenLantern styled powers.
* While Flash, Shining, and Rarity were off-world, someone broke out Dragstar after Flash just captured him earlier that day. Clearly someone is taking an interest in Flash's old enemies.

[[AC:"From Time to Time [=PT2=]"]]
* Flash teaming up with his older self to defeat Vilgax [[CameBackStrong who had been upgraded by Animac]].
* Twilight sends a message to all of her old friends to help Flash and his younger self. This includes being able to send them across dimensions to Sunset and Trixie.

* Flash gets a warning about Zs'Skayr.
[[AC:"Get in the Spider Zone"]]
* Chrysalis makes her debut in the series.
** When Flash, Trixie, Shining, and the Rainbooms confront her in her office, Sunset gets the proof they need that she is responsible for the earlier theft thanks to Sunset reading her mind. They also snatch her computer to find the stolen data on it.
** It initially looks like Chrysalis is going to hand over her Medallion peacefully, [[ISurrenderSuckers only to suddenly activate it]] and teleport everyone right outside her office in an attempt to make them fall to their deaths.
** Chrysalis gains [[MultiArmedAndDangerous extra spider-like legs in her costume]], which she uses to great effect during her battle with the heroes.
* Flash realizes a weakness in Chrysalis' teleportation abilities. She can teleport anything in her web and above it, but not ''below'' it, remembering how she didn't teleport down from her office and instead created cobwebs to use as invisible platforms to get down. With that in mind, he manages to attack her from below as Diamutt.
* When it looks like Chrysalis is beaten, Devious ends up appearing and saving her from the heroes, and rather than steal her powers for himself, he unexpectedly proposes [[VillainTeamUp the two of them team-up to defeat Trixie and her friends]]. Chrysalis agrees to his plan.

Trixie, who was aged into a young adult, manages to trick him into changing into Volt-Edge instead of Way Big by talking down about Volt-Edge, making him mad enough to change into him and prove her wrong. His ensuing temper tantrum, combined with his uncontrolled electric powers, end up zapping Doddery into dropping her magic watch.
[[AC:"Tirek's Scheme"]]
* Flash uses all five of his Equestrian Hybrid alien forms to stop some robbers, which also helps him get over his HeroicBSOD over their apparent deaths.
[[AC:"Tirek's Crimes"]]
* A villainous example for Tirek, who did something no villain from the ''Ben 10'' series, not even Vilgax, ever succeeded on-screen. [[HeroKiller He murdered Max Tennyson]]!
* After realizing the hybrids are still alive, the heroes realize they never took out Scoop's tracking device, meaning they can use it to find him and the others.
* Flash and the others fight Tirek onboard his ship, and finally realize he was the one responsible for creating the hybrids all along.
** When the hybrids wake up during the battle and are told how Tirek created them and was planning to use a fatal cloning procedure on them, they all [[DeathGlare glare at him in anger]] and look ready to attack him over this.
** During the battle, Sunset accidentally reads Tirek's mind, discovering his secrets of stolen alien technology and killing Max Tennyson. After everyone returns to base, she reports all of this to Azmuth.

* Viral poses a threat due to being able to [[ContagiousAI transfer herself into any device with an internet connection]] and use it as a makeshift body. Ultimately, Flash uses Grey Matter to defeat her by using his SuperIntelligence to gather a few makeshift parts and create a device called the Code Catcher that forcibly transfers her into an ordinary flash drive, rerouting her every time she tries to free herself, and since the flash drive has no internet connection unless it is plugged into another device [[SealedEvilInACan Viral is essentially trapped]].
[[AC:"Smashing the Competition"]]
* When Timber starts to get [[GreenEyedMonster jealous of Flash]], both for how famous he is now and how much Twilight is helping him instead of paying attention to him, actual boyfriend, he tries to insult and talk down to Flash about his performance as a hero, only to be dismissed and ignored. Adagio eventually pulls Timber aside and shows a lot more maturity that Timber, pointing out how Twilight is helping Flash save lives and just because Flash is her boyfriend she recognizes that the two getting along isn't the same as "eyeing each other up". When Timber refuses to let go of his jealousy though, Adagio [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech tears into him for his attitude]] while acknowledging that [[NotSoDifferentRemark she used to be just like him until recently]] until she grew up, further establishing herself as a great {{Foil}} for Timber and his own attitude by showing how she has gotten better over time while he's only gotten worse.
-->'''Adagio:''' You know Timber, I used to be just like you for millennia. Narcissistic, wanting everyone to adore me and think I was the best, and looking down on everyone else, especially those I felt threatened by. But I grew up. So when will you?
* When the Plumber battle armor that Timber stole malfunctions and goes out of control, Flash and Shining do everything they can to try to stop him until Twilight can hack in and shut it down. Eventually though, when Flash reverts back to human, even as he Timber's suit prepares to blast him, he refuses to run away and leave Shining defenseless, managing to keep the suit busy a little longer with the help of his hoverboard.
* Timber being hit with LaserGuidedKarma for his actions when Shining [[PersonaNonGrata bans him from Plumber Base]] and nobody speaks in his defense. For added salt in the wound, news of the damage he caused with the suit and Flash and Shining stopping him has already traveled around the city, with Flash once again getting hailed as a hero while Timber, who [[HeroicWannabe foolishly tried to prove he was a better hero than Flash]], is called an idiot and maniac.
[[AC:"Base Invaders"]]
* It is shown the hybrids have all learned enough to now be able to speak in complete sentences with no trouble.
* Flash uses the darkness in the base after the generator is sabotaged to his advantage by making good use of Kagenobi.
* After Adagio is separated from the others she finds herself in the weapons room, arming herself and blasting the yellow drone chasing her. Shortly afterwards she saves Sunset, Rarity Rainbow, and Applejack by tossing them all some of the weapons she brought with her when they're struggling against the blue drone.
* Cadance helping Twilight deal with the sabotage robots with a broom when they start to overwhelm her. After they are all disposed of, Flurry Heart crawls into the room with a babble, clearly wanting to help her mommy and auntie fight the robots.
* The group fighting the combined drones in the climax, with Flash momentarily confusing it by transforming into Yak-Smasher. Once Twilight and Cadance get the power restored, Flash quickly declares a security code and has the base's security system [[MoreDakka blast the drone to kingdom come]] until it is just scrap metal too damaged to repair itself.

* It is revealed when Sunset first came to the human world, she brought some gems and bits with her so she could get everything she needed to make it look like she had been living in the world her whole life. That's also how she was able to afford her apartment. Twilight is similarly able to get all those same documents for Adagio and her sisters in just two days.
* Flash pits up with a lot of Adagio's attitude as she slowly reverts back to her old personality as she gets the fame she has always wanted. But when she selfishly demands he drive them to their commercial shoot instead of going after the dragon hybrid, Flash insists on doing the right thing. When Adagio selfishly calls him the "worst boyfriend ever" for putting the needs of someone else over his girlfriend, [[RageBreakingPoint it is the last straw for Flash]]. He angrily [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech tells off Adagio that he isn't doing any of this for fame or attention]] and she clearly hasn't changed at all like he thought she had. He actually [[BewareTheNiceOnes shocks Adagio the way he roars at her over this]].
* When Aria and Sonata point out how much Adagio has changed since hanging out with Flash and how they would hate for the old her to come back, Adagio asks what was so bad about the old her, only for [[DumbassHasAPoint Sonata of all people]] to give an ArmorPiercingResponse.
-->'''Adagio:''' What's wrong with the old me? I was cunning and deceptive. I was able to bend those around me to my will, even without magic. Why is it a bad thing I'm becoming like that again?\\
