Synopsis

Forever Knights' scientist Dr. Joseph Chadwick sends Sir Morton to kidnap Ship so that the Forever Knights can use him to mass-produce a fleet of interstellar spacecraft with which to attack the homeworld of the alien dragon that escaped them. (After the events at the Pier, ship had been staying with Julie.) At this time, Ship had hitched a ride in the mechanisms of Kevin?s car, trying to stay with Julie, who was with Gwen and Kevin on their way to the local shopping mall. Morton attacks Ship, capturing the small alien and leaving Kevin?s car in dire need of repair. Ben arrives too late, and the team sets out to find the Knights. Assuming that the Knights have something to do with a medieval-themed track of houses, the team, joined by Julie, attempt to sneak into the main house to recuse Ship. However, by this time, Chadwick had affixed a mind control on Ship, making his biometric markings go from green to red, and leaving him totally under Chadwick?s control. Having absorbed the alien spacecraft that Chadwick made, the Knights now have the ultimate weapon. The team soon gets caught, and are to be executed by Ship. Desperately, Julie uses a trick she saw in an old alien movie, and is able to convince Ship to resist. With Ship now on their side, the Forever Knights' stronghold is destroyed and the team now has access to Ship?s spaceship mode, as long as Ben helps Julie take care of Ship.

Production notes

Talk about multiple personalities.... It's been five years since Ben last used the Omnitrix, but when Grandpa Max disappears, Ben must go hero again! Ben Tennyson was your everyday, average kid until he discovered a mysterious watch hidden in a meteorite that crashed on Earth. He soon learned that the supernatural watch allows him to transform into 10 different alien beings while keeping his kid personality. Now 15 as he again dons the Omnitrix to battle new enemies, he morphs into new alien life forms and discovers different powers and abilities.
