Hit 'Em Where They Live is the third episode of Ben 10: Ultimate Alien and the third episode of the first season.

PlotEdit

Ben's mom, Sandra is washing dishes, but doesn't know that she's being ambushed by Sevenseven. Her father-in-law saves her from noticing she was in danger. Grandpa Max soon realizes that some of Ben's enemies are hunting his family and his loved ones.

Meanwhile, Ben's old enemy Rojo and her new biker gang are robbing a train. So Gwen, Kevin and Ben, as Rath, defeat them. They are praised for stopping them, until Max shows up in Kevin's jet. He tells them that ever since Ben's identity is revealed, some of his old enemies are returning for revenge and hunting down his family. Now Ben, Gwen, and Kevin have to protect Ben's parents at all cost. Meanwhile, another one of Ben's enemies, Zombozo, has teamed up with Charmcaster, Vulkanus and Sevenseven to get their revenge on Ben. Zombozo buried someone's remains and now plans on targeting Ben's dad, Carl.

Zombozo, Charmcaster and Vulkanus flatten Carl's tire to keep him busy, but soon Ben (who has forgotten about Zombozo) and his friends arrive and battle the villains. Ben manages to defeat them as Swampfire and save his dad without him knowing it. Zombozo then targets Ben's mom again at Mr. Smoothy's and attacks her and shocks Gwen and gets her dizzy, who was trying to protect her, and kidnaps Sandra.

Ben and friends go to Zombozo's hideout to save Ben's mom. Ben fights Vulkanus, Kevin fights Charmcaster and Gwen fights Zombozo. Kevin manages to defeat Charmcaster and her rock minions while Ben defeats Vulkanus and his pick-axe army as Ultimate Big Chill. Sandra's trapped on a tight-rope strapped with two bombs and holding a metal pole to keep her balance and Gwen is tied up in tight streamers next to a pillar Zombozo has shown Gwen where she is and gets angry that Zombozo is trying to cruelly cause Sandra's death. She breaks free off screen and transforms into her dormant Anodite form and begins growing to giant size while threatening him to leave the Tennyson family alone and to spread it to all other villains. She saves Sandra unknowingly and possibly lets Zombozo go to spread the word, then reverts back to her human form off screen. After that Gwen and Sandra are found sitting on a bench and Gwen eating candy floss. She then offers Sandra if she wanted any but Sandra knows process sugar is poison. Ben and Kevin show up, since Gwen called them and Ben asked about Sandra and Kevin asked about Zombozo as Gwen was about to take a bite on her candy floss she pauses and says he does not have to worry about him any more. They came to an understanding while smiling.

QuotesEdit

Ultimate Big Chill: You're tough with an army behind you, Vulkanus. (freezes army with ice breath) Now it's just you, me and fire so cold it burns. Vulkanus: Whoa! This wasn't my idea, if you want the lady back I´ll tell you were she is, please don´t hurt... Ultimate Big Chill: For once, just stop talking!! (uses ice flames to freeze Vulkanus in a block of ice) Vulkanus: (nervously) Okay.

Rath: Let me tell you something, Rojo!! Nobody robs a train when Rath is on the job!!

Gwen: (eating cotton candy) (to Sandra) your sure you don't want any? Sandra: Thank you dear but processed sugar is poison. (Ben and Kevin show up crashing through a wall) Gwen: Hey guys! Ben: Gwen, Mom! Are you alright? Sandra: I'm fine dear just a little concerned about Gwen's diet. Kevin: Where's Zombozo? Gwen: (was about to take a bite on her cotton candy but stops) You don't have to worry about him anymore, we came to an understanding. (episode ends)

Gwen: (Struggling) Zombozo: Oh Gwenny Gwenny Gwenny Gwenny! Your wasting your strength! My streamers are like steel! So many ways to finish you. What to do, ooh what to do? (Later) Gwen: Wouh! (Eyes open glowing pink, and Gwen breaks out of streamers.) Zombozo: How did you-? Gwen: You have no idea who you're dealing with! Zombozo: We've seen what your cousin can do. Gwen: I'm not talking about him! I want you to listen to me then pass the word to every lowlife you know; if you want to come after Ben, or Kevin, or me, fine! That's the life you chose! I'm talking to you! (turns into an Anodite) LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME!! As of right now, the Tennyson family is off-limits!!! If any of you ever attacks one of our loved ones, or hurts one of our loved ones, or even bumps into someone we love in the street, this is what awaits you!!! (Zombozo screams off-screen)

Kevin: Cut her some slack she feels bad enough. Ben: It's not your mother they kidnapped! Kevin : If it was, I wouldn't stand here blaming people, I'd go and get her back!

Zombozo: Scared? Gwen: Do your worst. Zombozo: Not that I need your permission, but that's exactly what I had in mind.

Zombozo: Ladies and gentlemen, and victims of all ages, welcome to the final act. I promise it'll be a killer! (chuckles evilly)

Kevin: Used to love carnival rides. Now they just make me sick. Charmcaster: You have precisely the same effect on me.

Charmcaster: I've waited a long time for a rematch, Gwen. Gwen: Careful what you wish for.

Ben: (to Vulkanus) Tell it to...(changes into Swampfire) ...Swampfire!

Gwen: You'd hit a girl? Zombozo: Have we met?

ErrorsEdit

• When Ben went to go Big Chill, Big Chill's hologram is not shown on the Ultimatrix.
• In some scenes, Charmcaster's eyes are blue.
• The establishing shot of Mr. Smoothy has Gwen and Sandra both holding smoothies, but in later shots, Sandra's smoothy has all but disappeared.

Naming and TranslationsEdit

AllusionsEdit

• The title of this episode is based on the phrase Hit them where it hurts.
• Zombozo's new modus operandi - using clown props as deadly weapons - mirrors that of the Batman villain The Joker.

TriviaEdit

• According to Dwayne McDuffie, Ben only pretended not to remember Zombozo because he didn't want to admit to Kevin that he used to be afraid of clowns.
• Charmcaster is shown to be in possession of Hex's staff. As stated in the original series, only a master magician can use it. Since Charmcaster was able to do so, it implies that she has become a master magician since her appearance in Ben 10: Alien Force.
