* GodzillaThreshold: Defied. When Darkstar is draining their energy, Kevin suggests that Ben use Alien X to fight back against him. Despite being in agony, Ben refuses, noting that Darkstar absorbing Alien X's powers would make him nigh unstoppable.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: The Magister, while dismissive of the Highbreed threat, allows Ben and co to try and present proof to the plumber he intends to assign in 6 months and allows them to go free as long as Kevin gives back his dad’s Plumber badge, which was stolen. And when evidence of the Highbreed is presented, he deputises the trio to deal with their invasion plan officially.

to:

* ZergRush: Darkstar is able to handle the [=DNAliens=] pretty easily and can absorb their energy fast, but there's a lot of them and they all jump at him almost as fast as he drains them. They keep him busy long enough for Gwen to free Ben, Kevin, and Magister Gilhil.
-->'''Darkstar:''' Too many to absorb!

* BigSisterInstinct: Big Cousin Instinct from Gwen. When she sees Ben get energy-drained to unconsciousness by their unknown assailant, that's the catalyst for Gwen to summon up enough energy to knock back the attacker in order to escape, while before she was only able to just shield herself from the energy-draining ray.




to:

* TacticalWithdrawal: Before falling unconscious, Ben tells Gwen to flee from their attacker as she's the only one who can sufficiently defend herself from their opponent's energy-draining powers. Thus, she's their best hope of rescue and getting out alive -- as long as she's not captured.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Ben spams the Omnitrix's quick-change feature to bring down Darkstar during the climax. Due to Ben's tired state, and the fact that he and his allies are able to bring Darkstar down quickly when working together, the only consequences that Ben experiences here is a PostVictoryCollapse. As Azmuth later reveals in "Good Copy, Bad Copy", spamming the Omnitrix's quick-change feature for a prolonged period of time can have dire consequences.

* TheDeterminator: Even though Darkstar is able to capture him, Ben, as Humungousaur, takes the longest (out of Kevin, Magister Gilhil, and the Highbreed officer) to go down due to just refusing to give up. Even when he's forced to transform back into a human, it still takes several more seconds for Ben to fall to his knees. Darkstar even compliments him on it.
-->'''Darkstar:''' I had almost forgotten how strong you are. ''Ben''.

* ILied: After betraying the Highbreed, he stated that he wasn't to be trusted.
