History Webcomic / FiveYearsLater

* The ''Beyond'' episode covering the Ages System, one of the Genus Lepi is a clear reference to [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Dr. Robotnik]].

* BadFuture: Future Fenton comes back from one two years after Chapter 9 to try and stop [[spoiler: Eon/Divinity]].

* BodySurf: [[spoiler: Whenever Eon's body becomes too weak, he transfers his consciousness to another version of Ben.]]

* BrainwashResidue: [[spoiler: Eon's been using Ben’s body for so long that he started to believe ''he'' was Ben.]]

* CanonWelding: Both versions of Eon’s backstory are melded together here. [[spoiler: Eon’s backstory is the same as it was in ''Film/Ben10RaceAgainstTime'', but he’s been [[BodySurf hopping between the bodies]] of alternate Bens for so long that he believed himself to be a version of Ben for a while.]]

* ClothingDamage: Vlad suffers this during his fight with Danny and Ben. [[spoiler: Technus]] gives him a new outfit.

** Kuro managed to find a way to fuse together [[spoiler: two different versions of Eon: the one that's trying to save his dying race, and the one that's an evil future version of Ben.]]

* ExpendableAlternateUniverse: [[spoiler: Well, Expendable Alternate Bens, but Eon's practically made a habit of kidnapping alternate Bens to serve as his bodies.]] That being said, rather hypocritically, he doesn't like the idea of ''his'' timeline being one.

* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler: Lula suffers one after Ben's second WhatTheHellHero speech directed at her.]]

* KilledOffForReal: Eon, or as he is calling himself as of Chapter 9 [[spoiler: Divinity, kills Animo and Cooper. Animo to keep the Doctor's knowledge from being used against him, and Cooper for defying him]].

** Also, Lula insisting that everyone in her squad stays together instead of at their posts in case of a big threat ends up allowing [[spoiler: GIR to steal information from the base's computers.]]

** Eon, or more specifically Divinity, [[spoiler: no sells Gwen's attempt to reverse time to fix the damage to Zim's Earth by more or less ''catching time in his hand'']].

* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Entire ''timelines'' of them. [[spoiler: as revealed in chapter 10 the current plot of Eon is actually one he's been essentially resetting everytime it goes badly for a ''very'' long time at this point. There were many team ups between Ben and Danny to defeat him before the one we were seeing that all ended in Eon's defeat by slightly slimmer margins each time. In a number of them it even became a fight between time dieties with Clockwork versus Divinity and more.]]

* OpeningMonologue: Danny gives one at the beginning of the story, telling us what's happened between ''Phantom Planet'' and the present. Ben and [[spoiler: Eon]] give similar ones at the beginning of chapters 2 and 4, respectively.

* RealityWarper: [[spoiler: The Chronians (Eon's species), which ended up taking a toll on their physical bodies.]]

* TheReveal: Chapter 3 ends by revealing that [[spoiler: Vlad was being used as a distraction so that GIR could steal some code from the Plumbers satellite.]]
** Chapter 8 reveals that [[spoiler: the files the villains stole were blueprints for Ben's old Ultimatrix which were used to create a device that would allow Eon to turn himself into an Ultimate Chronian.]]

** [[spoiler: Addwaitya]] laying waste to X'Nelli.

** What [[spoiler: Divinity claims to be]].

** Chapter 4 reveals [[spoiler: Eon’s backstory, as well as two new members of the VillainTeamUp.]]
** Chapter 8 has [[spoiler: Ben unlocking his powerhouse playlist to defeat an ultra-powerful alternate Ben, Cooper's revelation that the device Eon is using is essentially a giant Ultimatrix, and the chapter ends with ''Cooper possibly dead'' and Eon successfully evolving into an Ultimate Chronian.]]

-->'''Cooper:''' That tower Eon's hooked up to right now? [[spoiler: It's a giant Ultimatrix!]]
* WhamShot: Chapter 3 does this to [[spoiler: introduce a new player to our crossover: WesternAnimation/InvaderZim!]]
** Chapter 7 reveals what Technus contributes to the alliance of villains and it is quite a doozy; [[spoiler: He's used the nanites from WesternAnimation/GeneratorRex to turn mind-controlled alternate Bens into ''E.V.Os'' who have parts of the Omnitrix's aliens mixed in!]]
* WhatTheHellHero: Ben gives one to Lula ''twice'' after her behavior [[spoiler: causes files to go missing from the Plumber base she's stationed at]], with Lula throwing one right back at him after the second for how harsh it was.

** [[spoiler: Skulker and Ember have very different looks when they appear; Skulker's suit is more obviously robotic with more glowing parts, while Ember has horns and now has taloned cyborg legs, tattoos on her arm, and a more revealing top.]] The Ghost Zone episode of 'Beyond' suggests this was a result of an attempt to reduce ecto energy mutation.

** The man Danny saves in chapter 3 is Creator/ButchHartman…[[{{Irony}} who then proceeds to mistake him for Ben.]]
