The Vampire Strikes Back is the eighth episode of the fifth season of Ben 10: Omniverse, and the forty-eighth episode overall.

Plot[]

Ben, Rook, Rad, and Hobble are seen in the Lovely Duck, where Rad has almost repaired his ship. Meanwhile, Zs'Skayr is seen using the power of the Alpha Rune to revive Lord Transyl, a Vladat. Dr. Viktor is not happy with this, as Vladats were the predators of Transylians and they used them as slaves. Zs'Skayr then orders Kuphulu to pull a lever and then Lord Transyl gets resurrected. Meanwhile, Ben, Rad, Rook, and Hobble are leaving Anur Transyl when suddenly the Omnitrix gets a signal of a new DNA sample somewhere on Anur Transyl. Ben tells Rad to go back to Anur Transyl so that he can obtain this new DNA, but Rad opens the ship and Ben gets sucked into space. Ben transforms into Astrodactyl to save himself while Rook convinces Rad to go back to get Ben.

At Zs'Skayr's castle, Lord Transyl suddenly attacks Kuphulu and Viktor to feed himself, but Zs'Skayr defeats Transyl and convinces him to help him carry out his plot. Ben reunites with Rook, Rad, Hobble, and Scout when suddenly they are attacked by the brainwashed Anur Transyl citizens. Lord Transyl, Zs'Skayr, Crüjo, Kuphulu, and Viktor appear, and Transyl shoots Corrupturas at Rad, Rook, Scout, and Hobble. Rook, Rad, and Scout get brainwashed whereas Hobble remains unaffected and states that it is because of the mucus-covered skin of his species.

Ben scans Lord Transyl and transforms into a new alien, Whampire, a Vladat. He then shoots Corrupturas at Crüjo, Kuphulu, and Viktor. He, along with Hobble, Viktor, Crüjo, and Kuphulu, escape. Whampire then forces Viktor to tell him where the castle of Zs'Skayr is. Meanwhile, at Zs'Skayr's castle, Zs'Skayr reveals that his true plan is to use the DNA of Lord Transyl to revive all the Vladats so that he could rule the universe. But suddenly the walls burst, and the Lovely Duck crashes into one of the walls. Whampire, Viktor, Crüjo, Hobble, and Kuphulu battle Transyl, Zs'Skayr, Rook, Scout, and Rad. Whampire is captured by Lord Transyl, who tries to hypnotize him, but to no avail.

The Omnitrix times out, causing Whampire to transform back into Ben and for Viktor, Crüjo, and Kuphulu are freed from Whampire's Corrupturas. Ben calls Hobble, but he is nowhere to be seen. Zs'Skayr orders Viktor to hold Ben still so that Lord Transyl can shoot a Corruptura at him, but Viktor betrays Zs'Skayr. Hobble starts firing beams from the Lovely Duck and destroys the machine which Zs'Skayr was going to use to revive the Vladats. Lord Transyl captures Ben, but he transforms into Atomix and creates "Fusion Cuisine," a light ball which kills Zs'Skayr and injures Lord Transyl, leading to everyone being freed from his Corrupturas. Atomix leaves the light ball in the castle so that if Zs'Skayr returns, he won't be able to get in. Viktor then takes Transyl and tells Rook that he would put him somewhere safe.

The episode ends with the Lovely Duck leaving the Anur System, and Viktor imprisoning Lord Transyl in a coffin-like containment unit in orbit right in front of the Anur System's sun.

Dr. Viktor: Transyl and other Vladats used my people as slaves. We were nothing more than beasts of burden, and ultimately we were food!
Z'Skayr: Fear not. He'll been to my will! Kuphulu!
Kuphulu: Let's your command my lord!
Z'Skayr: Begin!

Dr. Viktor: No. Master... This is madness.
Zs'Skayr: Lord Transyl. Welcome back to the world of living!

Quotes


Zs'Skayr: You'd do well to cooperate. After all, we have much in common: our aversion to sunlight.
Lord Transyl: I do not cooperate with my inferiors. Light may hurt me, but it destroys you, Ectonurite.
Zs'Skayr: (laughs) You and I are much alike; we both have the power to control other creatures. I inhabit their bodies, you do so with whatever you spat at me. Charming. Now, we can be adversaries or allies.
Lord Transyl: What do you want?
Zs'Skayr: To rule the universe.
Lord Transyl: I am listening.

Rook: Of course you will now turn this ship around, knowing that such contrary behavior is merely to conceal your true sensitive nature.
Rad: Humph!
Rook: Let me rephrase that. Of course you will now turn this ship around, knowing if you do not, you will not be paid.
Rad: (mockingly) Or you won't be paid. (Rad turns ship around.)

Hobble: (To Ben) So, how about you go on, and the rest of us wait in the ship?
Rad: You're scared.
Hobble: Actually, right now I'm working on "jumpy." I may move up to "scared," or just go straight to "panic."

Quotes


Whampire: I got a planet full of monsters after me, an alien vampire just turned my friends into puppets, (eats a fly) and my appetite is really weird!
Hobble: I noticed that when you were about to eat me!
Whampire: More like I was going to drain your energy.
Hobble: (sarcastically) Oh yeah, so much better!

Quotes


Zs'Skayr: It's simple, really. Using your DNA as a template, I shall revive your entire species.
Lord Transyl: Then I shall once again rule Anur Transyl.
Zs'Skayr: Oh dear, such limited thinking!
Lord Transyl: What do you mean?
Zs'Skayr: With my strategic skills and your army of Vladats, we shall be unstoppable! As we roam from planet to planet, gathering new subjects!
Lord Transyl: And fresh food.
Zs'Skayr: Yes, if you must.

Whampire: Yes. Yes... Nah.
Lord Transyl: Huh? No one is immune to my power!
Whampire: I don't really go in for the whole "mind slave" thing.
Lord Transyl: Hmmm...your will is strong, but your flesh is weak.
Whampire: Not even. Just call me... Whampire! (Omnitrix times out)
(Whampire's Corrupturas break apart)
Kuphulu: We are free!
Lord Transyl: What creature is this?
Zs'Skayr: That is Tennyson, his Omnitrix has failed and he's surrounded.
Ben: But you have to admit, Whampire is a really great name.
Lord Transyl: My children, make it painful.
Rook: Ben, run!
Ben: Please, I still have Hobble, and Transyl can't control him, right Hobble? Hobble?

Quotes


Lord Transyl: The taste of your energy will be sweet.
Ben: Do I look like a snack? (activates Omnitrix, Lord Transyl lets go and puts up his hands to block the flash as Ben turns into Atomix).
Atomix: HA-MEE, NA-HA-MEE, NA-HA-MEE-NA, try a little "Fusion Cuisine" catered by, Atomix!
(Atomix burns up Zs'Skayr and weakens Lord Transyl enough to break apart his Corrupturas)
Rook: We can move again!
Scout: Zs'Skayr? Where did he go!?
Atomix: Where all good spooks go once they're shredded to atoms. It will be a while until we see him again.
Dr.Viktor: (picks up Lord Transyl) Ah Vladat, the only thing you will taste is bitter defeat.
Rook: What are you going to do with him?
Dr.Viktor: Put him somewhere...safe.
(Atomix puts light fusion orb in the center of the ceiling)
Atomix: And I'll keep this little fellow floating here in the lab, so if Zs'Skayr ever shows up here again, He won't be able to get in the door (turns back to Ben)
Ben: Wow! That is bright. So, problem solved, everybody's happy, right?
(Rad punches Ben)
Rad: Never mess with my ship.
