Rex Salazar, a former Providence agent, is midway through a routine spar with Agent Six when a sudden rift starts tearing open the skies above Manhattan. The city braces for impact as alarms blare and the storm of energy swirls, hinting at a threat that Providence struggles to contain. In the escalating chaos, Bobo Haha rushes onto the scene, followed by Providence teams trying to stabilize the anomaly. The tension in the air feels personal, almost as if the rift is reaching out to pull something specific through.
Dr. Holiday, the scientist who often works alongside Six, arrives with a precise, clinical calm. A scan reveals that something is indeed coming through the rift—an intelligence that doesn’t fit the usual EVO mold. Rex senses that this intrusion is not just a random intrusion but a calculated breach that could threaten the balance of power in the city. The situation takes a surreal turn when Rex locks eyes with Ben Tennyson, who appears on the scene in the form of Humungousaur. The clash that follows is immediate and disorienting: Rex’s attempts to keep the situation contained collide with Ben’s extraordinary, almost celebrity-caliber presence, and Rex quickly discovers that something about this encounter is deeply personal and scientifically puzzling.
As the two confront each other, a strange metallic creature emerges from the rift and heads into the heart of Manhattan, prompting Bobo Haha and Agent Six to pursue. Ben shifts from Humungousaur into a leaner, quicker form—the kind of transformation that seems designed to outpace Rex’s attempts at a cure. Rex fights to understand what he’s seeing, insisting on a method to calm the situation, while Ben, still trying to grasp why no one knows him despite his fame, asserts that Rex must stop haranguing him about his condition. The friction between the two rises as Ben challenges Rex’s sense of urgency, insisting that what he is dealing with is not just a fight but a misunderstanding about EVOs and nanites.
Back at Rex’s hideout, the tension boils over as Ben is contained and questioned. Dr. Holiday explains that the metallic intruder is nanite-based but fundamentally different from EVOs. Ben offers to help, but his help is initially refused, and he escapes into the night in another powerful form—an important moment that signals his willingness to act even without consent. Rex gives chase, determined to uncover the truth behind the creature and its unexpected link to his own capabilities. The pursuit culminates in a brutal reveal: the creature is not just a rogue machine but a living threat with a clear purpose—absorb EVO nanites and gain control of Rex’s Omega Nanite, an object Rex believes holds the key to his own “perfection.”
The truth emerges as a rogue inventor, Ceaser Salazar, explains the origin of the threat. He had created the nanite creature, named Alpha, as a tool that could adapt for any scientific need. But Alpha evolved beyond its creator, seeking to possess human bodies because it cannot sustain a form within a machine. To stop Alpha, Ceaser banishes it into a different dimension—only to learn later that Alpha has slipped back through the void and into Manhattan. Alpha’s mission becomes clear: harvest EVOs to accumulate a full set of nanites that will empower it to take over Rex’s Omega Nanite and, with that, bend reality to its will. Ben, Rex, and their allies realize they’re facing a foe that is not merely powerful but cunning, with the ability to imitate Omnitrix powers by copying the Nanite-driven tech that fuels the heroes’ transformations.
The battle intensifies when White Knight reveals the creature has set its sights on a place known as the Bug Jar, a hub dense with EVOs that could fuel Alpha’s power. The heroes converge—White Knight leading the charge—against a foe that seems nearly invincible. In the ensuing chaos, Ben taps into a broader repertoire of forms as he fights as XLR8 and Four Arms, while Rex battles to keep Alpha from siphoning his Omega Nanite. The two heroes push past their differences, and at one desperate moment, Ben unleashes the form of Shocksquatch to turn the tide. The clash is brutal and awe-inspiring, a test of will, wit, and technology as Alpha responds with cunning, copying Omnitrix-like capabilities and donning nanite-powered variations of Ben’s own arsenal.
In the midst of this maelstrom, Rex manages a daring move: he disables Alpha’s imitation Omnitrix powers, buying precious seconds. Yet the victory is hollow when Alpha seizes Rex’s Omega Nanite, transforming into a colossal being—an entity the duo soon dubs Alpha-Omega. The rampage nearly wrecks the Bug Jar and threatens to spill into the wider city. Rex’s resolve wavers as he contends with the loss of his builds, feeling stripped of his power and identity in the face of something that seems almost immortal.
A glimmer of hope arrives when Ben conceives a plan that blends their strengths. He merges with Rex, taking on the form of Upgrade and lending his own energy to Rex’s, creating a hybrid force capable of disputing Alpha-Omega’s rule. The two unfurl a calculated assault, weakening Alpha-Omega enough to execute a bold, final maneuver. Rex condenses Alpha into a dense sphere of matter—an act that seems to neutralize the threat but does not seal their fate completely. In a dramatic turn, Ceaser returns to the fray and extracts the Omega Nanite from Rex, destabilizing Alpha further as Alpha mentally prods at the Null Void, a prison dimension for intergalactic criminals. With Alpha reeling, Ben opens a portal and, in a decisive move, transforms into Upchuck to devour the compacted Alpha and send its essence back to its world.
Rex returns to base to discover a surprising development: a revived Agent Six waiting with him, hinting at new life and renewed purpose within Providence’ ranks. Ceaser injects the Omega Nanite into Rex, a twist of fate that suggests Alpha may still be lurking somewhere in the Null Void, stirring with a plan of its own. What began as a rift and a city-wide mystery evolves into a high-stakes equation of power, partnership, and resolve—where the line between ally and adversary blurs, and the fate of Manhattan rests on a delicate balance of nanite engineering, interdimensional danger, and the stubborn hope of two heroes willing to merge their strengths to avert catastrophe.
