During an encounter with Kevin 11, still stuck in his amalgamated alien form, Ben, along with Kevin, suddenly gets beamed aboard a spaceship called the Mega Cruiser, where aliens are imprisoned and forced by the owner, Slixx Vigma, to fight for the entertainment of the galaxy. Now Ben and Kevin must work together to find a way back to Earth.
Tropes
- Arson, Murder, and Admiration: Slixx Vigma upon seeing Kevin in action."Sadistic. Cruel. Merciless. True gladiator material."
- Chained Heat: Ben and Kevin are chained together by cuffs connected by a laser. The cuffs also change size in accordance to Ben's alien forms.
- Continuity Nod: Near the end of the episode, Kevin brags that he knows all of Ben's aliens so he thinks he can't beat him. But Ben transforms into Cannonbolt, who was only recently acquired, so Kevin is taken by surprise and gets his ass kicked, not knowing how to fight it.
- Didn't See That Coming: Kevin boasts how he knows the skills of all of Ben's aliens. Then Ben brings out Cannonbolt.
- Didn't Think This Through: Ben tells Kevin to combine his different powers to make up for them only being at half strength and do more creative damage, not realizing he's making his enemy stronger. Kevin lampshades this afterwards, thanking Ben for the tip when he's about to kill him.
- Exact Words: Upon meeting Ben and Kevin in his chamber, Slix Vigma says that "These eyes see everything on this ship, and these hands control everything on this ship". Later, the two return to that same room, thinking that he controls everything on his ship there. Slix tells them on a monitor that's not what he said, he said "these hands control everything on this ship", a subtle bit of Foreshadowing that Slix is a robot who controls the Mega Cruiser.
- Gladiator Games: Aliens abducted into the Mega Cruiser are forced to fight for the galaxy's entertainment, sometimes even to the death.
- I Owe You My Life: Technorg, the Mega Cruiser's reigning champion, initially antagonizes Ben and Kevin, but after the two of them beat Technorg in the arena and Ben forces Kevin not to kill him, Technorg declares himself in Ben's debt and servitude.
- Ironic Echo: When Kevin is about to kill Ben, he tells the latter that his "lapdog" Technorg won't save him this time. Later, when Technorg confronts Kevin, he crossly asks "So, I'm a 'lapdog', am I?"
- Oh, Crap!: Kevin smiles nervously when he's left alone with Technorg, who overheard him call him "[Ben's] lapdog."
- Pre Ass Kicking One Liner: When Kevin brags that he knows all of Ben's alien forms, Ben goes hero and responds with, "Oh yeah? I don't think you've been introduced to Cannonbolt!"
- Shortly after, Technorg says to Kevin, "so I'm a lapdog am I?" While cracking his knuckles. Kevin can only cower in fear.
- Sequel Episode: This episode takes place sometime after the events of "Framed", with the episode beginning with Kevin fighting Ben after attacking the Rustbucket offscreen.
- The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: Kevin saves Ben from being killed by Slixx Vigma, but only because he wants to do so himself.
- This Is Gonna Suck: The sheepish expression on Kevin's face when he's left alone to deal with a cross Technorg says it all.
- Undying Loyalty: Despite Ben insisting Technorg take the escape pod back to his home planet, the latter sticks around to narrowly save Ben from Kevin. He even lampshades it.Ben (as Cannonbolt): Technorg! I thought you escaped!Technorg: I told you: my life belongs to you.
