A pair of rogue Plumbers, alien/human hybrids, a female Kineceleran named Helen and a male Tetramand named Manny are trying to kill (actually just imprison in the Null Void,but they didn't know that at that time) every alien they can find, thinking that all of them are evil. When they encounter Ben, Gwen and Kevin they attack them, and while Ben as Big Chill saves Gwen, Kevin gets kidnapped for questioning, as Helen isn't sure the group is dangerous.

Thanks to her powers, Gwen locates Kevin and she and Ben set out to rescue him. Meanwhile, Helen and Manny use a database created by Pierce (Helen's brother) to try and find out what species Kevin belongs to, as they think he's an alien. During the rescue, Ben gets thrown into the Null Void, but manages to escape after transforming into Swampfire.

After it the two sides work things out and after looking at a database of the aliens they captured and put into the Null Void, Ben realizes that some of them may have been Plumber kids. To make things right, Helen and Manny set out into the Null Void to rescue those they wrongfully imprisoned, and Kevin takes some of their equipment when they leave.

Gwen: Okay, whatever. I'm just worried, that's all.
Ben: About Kevin?
Gwen: Yeah, I mean we must reach there before something bad happens... it's not like I care about him... I mean who would care about a person who is untrustworthy, rude and arrogant... and how could you even say such a thing about me!
Ben: (confused, shocked, understanding Gwen's feeling for Kevin) I didn't say anything.
Gwen: Oh!

Manny: Are they close?
(at the same time Ben and Gwen reach the place)
Ben: Very!
Gwen: Now give us back our friend!

Gwen: Teammate, co-worker, whatever.... can we talk about this later?
Ben: (Helen noticed the distracted Gwen and Ben, so taking advantage, she shoots a piece of rock, which breaks into three, all falling on Ben's head and shoulders) Hey! I wasn't the one who... Uh... Uh... Uhhhh (and Ben falls to the ground unconscious)
Gwen: Ben! (and hits Helen and Manny with her shield)
Kevin: (at the same time regaining consciousness, realising that Ben and Gwen have come to his rescue) Looks like my rescuers need rescuing!
