Simian Says is the thirteenth episode of the third season of Ben 10: Ultimate Alien, and the thirty-third episode overall.

Synopsis[]

An evil Xenocite queen takes over the Arachnichimps' home planet by attaching herself to a crime lord named Mizaru.[note 1]

Plot[]

SS (6)

Eunice checking samples

Eunice is on Primus, monitoring the Codon Stream, and discovers that the Arachnichimp DNA sample is undergoing issues. On Azmuth's orders, Eunice sends some Volaticus biopsis to retrieve a fresh sample. Hours later, the Volaticus biopsis still haven't returned and Eunice decides to go investigate. Once near Aranhascimma, Eunice's ship is shot down.

Meanwhile, on Earth, Ben, Gwen, and Kevin are quizzing each other on which stars in the sky are actually planets. Ben notices that no one has tried to take over the Earth, kill them, or ask for his autograph in the past two days. At that moment, Simian drops in, hanging down from a lamp post and asks for their help. Simian explains that following his failure with the Highbreed, he stole a few valuable items from them, and among those was a Xenocite queen. Simian brought the Xenocite to an Arachnichimp crime lord named Mizaru. Once Mizaru opened the canister, the Xenocite inside attached itself to him, and started making more Xenocites, which in turn attached themselves to the Arachnichimps, turning them into DNAlien slaves for Mizaru. Simian only managed to barely escape and reach Earth for Ben's help.

SS (203)

The Arachichimp DNAliens

Deciding that Simian deserves the benefit of the doubt, because if he's lying, he's at Kevin's mercy, they follow him to Aranhascimmia and the land is cloaked. Armed with four of Cooper's DNA Repair Guns, they go to the planet with the plan of curing as many DNAliens as possible. The Ultimatrix detects Eunice's presence, and Ben tracks her to a large opening, where they're ambushed by the DNAliens.

The group soon discovers that the DNA repair guns are ineffective against the Arachnichimps (explained later as they were designed to return DNAliens to human form, not Arachnichimps). The Ultimatrix also lacks the Omnitrix's ability to restore genetic damage and thus Ben transforms into Terraspin and tries to fight them. Unfortunately, Eunice's presence returns Terraspin back into Ben, but she is able to rescue the team from the ambush, Eunice deactivates her link to Primus, which was interfering with the Ultimatrix's link to the planet. Eunice brings the group to the hideout of Haplar, his mate, and his child. Eunice explains that with Haplar as a baseline sample of Arachnichimp DNA, she'll be able to return the DNAliens to normal form. Simian instead states that he'll be the baseline sample, intending to make up for his mistake.

Eunice in the pool of Xenocites

When the group arrives outside Mizaru's hideout, they discover that he's taken Haplar and his family hostage. With this, the team is forced to reveal themselves to try and prevent Haplar and his family from being turned into DNAliens, in which they failed. Eunice is also turned into a DNAlien. Ben tries to fight her, while Gwen and Kevin keep Simian from being turned into a DNAlien.

SS (502)

DNAlien Mizaru battling Ultimate Spidermonkey

Ben is able to transform Eunice back into normal by transforming her into her Unitrix form, and then back to her human form. While Kevin holds off the hoard and Ben goes to fight Mizaru, Simian, Eunice, and Gwen go to work, rigging up a pulse that will return the DNAliens back to normal. Ben transforming into Spidermonkey and at first tries to fight, but that fails. Spidermonkey then transforms into Ultimate Spidermonkey and continues to fight with Mizaru. While fighting, Mizaru explains that the Xenocite didn't take over his personality, but instead Mizaru took control over the Queen Xenocite, resulting in a lot of power for himself.

The pulse kicks in just in time, and every single Arachnichimp transforms back into normal, including Mizaru. The others arrive just in time to see Mizaru defeated by Ben. Simian sees the Queen Xenocite struggling for a new host and thinks about how much power he will get if he attaches the Xenocite to himself. Instead, he kills the Xenocite with a rock. Ben observes Simian's change of behavior and accepts that the latter is fit to be a real prince.

SS (544)

The end of Mizaru

Mizaru vows revenge, only to be eaten by one of the many inhabitants of the planet. The group leaves Simian to drop Eunice off on Primus, then return home. Ben comments that Simian seems to be reforming, based on the fact that he didn't take the Xenocite for his own, to which Kevin denies. Gwen then notices that the DNA repair guns are missing.

Meanwhile, Simian holds a black market deal, with the Incurseans selling them the DNA repair guns for hefty profits.

Continuity[]

Allusions[]

Errors[]

  • There is no reason that the DNA sample in the Codon Stream should be affected if the Arachnichimps are taken over by DNAliens.
  • When Eunice approaches Aranhascimia, the Arachnichimp hologram has an Ultimatrix symbol.
  • Even though Simian does not mention that Mizaru is a crime boss, Ben says "Are you telling me you willingly brought a Xenocite to your home world and set it loose on a crime boss?"
  • Terraspin's Ultimatrix symbol disappears for a brief moment.
  • When Eunice says "Naturally, they have no effect on Arachnichimps", the closed captions on the Ben 10 Ultimate Alien: The Wild Truth DVD's say "Naturally, they have no affect on Arachnichimps".
  • In Alien Force, it was established that it took some time for Xenocite-possessed individuals to turn into full DNAliens. However, in this episode, Haplar, his mate and his baby immediately turn into DNAliens when they are possessed by Xenocites.
  • Swampfire and Spidermonkey's holograms are drawn incorrectly.
  • Even though the DNA sample of the Arachnichimps was not restored to the Codon Stream, Ben is able to turn into Spidermonkey.
  • When Simian is on the ground after being rescued by Kevin, he has an Ultimatrix symbol.
  • When there is an Arachnichimp hologram in Eunice's ship, the Arachnichimp has an Ultimatrix symbol for a second.
  • In two shots, Eunice's hair bang is on the left side instead of right.
  • When Simian takes his hands off a stone he was touching, there seems to be another hand touching the stone.
  • In the end credits, Haplar's name is misspelled "Haplor".
