FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: 1. “Wouldn’t the Forever Knights not want to work with aliens?” If it was for their own personal gain, I’d say they would. They’ve even worked with Ben himself a number of times in Alien Force onward. Besides, it’s JUST Driscoll, and Driscoll wants to usurp The Knight’s order, and therefore, isn’t afraid to bend his morals for what he sees as ‘the greater good.’ 2. “How did Dr. Viktor return from the Null Void to Earth?” Don’t know, and I don’t think it really matters. Villains show back up inexplicably in Ben 10 all the time. Maybe he met up with Vilgax and helped each other escape together but then they went their own ways? Maybe the portal didn’t actually send him to the Null Void, but teleported him super far away, and he found his way back to planet Earth? If we consider the canon of later episodes, perhaps Viktor hijacked one of the inner Plumber-operated prisons in the Null Void and used their teleporter? Take your pick. 3. “Isn’t Driscoll’s plan just the Servantis Arc from Omniverse?” Nope, but I figured people might make those connections just because both Driscoll and Servantis have put together teams in relation to Ben. Servantis believes Ben is too powerful, and is too careless and immature to wield the power of the Omnitrix, and wants to take him out before he causes massive destruction. Driscoll believes that Ben besting The Knights over and over again has turned them into a joke (which they are), and Driscoll could do a much better job as Earth’s defender if he wielded the Sub Energy. Servantis wants Ben gone, and Driscoll wants to both replace Ben and become a world-wide, anti-alien hero. Although, even if Driscoll and Servantis’ plans were similar, think about the countless Ben 10 villains that all had the exact same plan of ‘Ruling the World/ Galaxy/ Universe.’ I think making Ben’s villains target Ben and take him seriously enough to plan for him is a more interesting story than your typical power-hungry Vilgax, Zs’Skayr, Incursean, Dagon, Lord Transyl, or Aggregor. 4. "Why didn't you add Phil Billings?" He has his own story to go through in Omniverse, first becoming a mutant, and then joining the Rooters. We don't need to give Phil two teams to be a part of.

Feedback’s introduction could be a bit cleaner, I would make it so that Feedback’s species were the ones to master that energy orb. Make it so that we see the aliens hand like in the original, but showcase Feedback’s fingers, giving us some foreshadowing. Once the Forever Knight starts using it, it affects the omnitrix like you say, which shows the silhouette of Feedback. Once he does transform into Feedback, it doesn’t feel like it just came out of nowhere. That’s how I would redo Feedback’s origin

Judging by how Dr. Animo's past suits have been based around crustaceans, mammals, and mollusks, his Negative 10 suit should definitely be in the reptilian category. Komodo dragon is my choice, both because the name would be an obvious nod to the medieval theme of the Forever Knights, and because of how absolutely terrifying it would be if his suit had a specialized mouthpiece that let him shoot out streams of corrosive acid as a reference to the komodo dragon's venomous bite.

[@rokechikan4481]

I like the idea that Ben unlocks Feedback during this fight, and would be a great set up for when in Omniverse, we find out why Feedback isn't available and how Ben first gains his addiction to using him.

[@Capsirus]

I think for Animo’s animal suit this time, he should go for something like a Chameleon. Not only would the suit give him enhanced strength and speed, but it would also give him the ability to climb walls and camouflage himself, and since he’s pulling off heists, camouflage would be the perfect ability to have. This next idea is from the benefit of hindsight, but maybe he could mix his last two outfits into one and add another animal theme in there like, once again, a chameleon for camouflage and heists, and that’s about it

Being up the fact that every fight with the villains and aliens he leaves cities in ruin. As well as talking about could Ben by himself protect the world from alien wars. Hinting that he could do it but also it would ruin him. (Omnitrix could corrupt Ben's DNA) The conversation would be Ben is a great hero but what about tomorrow wever alien will come get that Omnitrix do you want to hold the world hostage to be a hero.

I like how this is Feedback's introduction. Even though Omniverse's "introduction" to Feedback is cool and very hyped up, it's also kinda random that Ben just has Feedback, and we never actually know why he's Ben's favorite alien other than just being very cool. This however gives us not only the introduction to Feedback, but also gives us a reason why he's Ben's new favorite. He's very powerful (not only by his natural ability but also generally physically powerful and strong) and like I said before he is very cool (cool enough to even be MY favorite alien by that alone, so I don't know why I'm getting onto 11yr Ben but still) and his Electric/Energy absorbing powers and shooting Electricity back at you are pretty awsome. And other than BenVictor he's the only electric alien at this time. I would also like to see Kevin take Feedback's powers, and the introduction to Malware if the og show continued to a 5th or even a 6th season.

Absolutely adored your new team, I always liked Zombozo and wished he had returned instead of the Circus Freak, so his comeback in this is seriously welcome.

The introduction of all these new variables (the modifications given to Cooper's character, a team-up between Gwen and Charmcaster, the reintroduction of Dr. Victor into the franchise, the earliest introduction of any emotional bond between Gwen and Kevin, Feedback, Zombozo being repurposed into a character) mixed with the sheer importance of the episode without these changes would've made it actually worthy of a series finale instead of what amounted to a season finale that aired roughly just a month before Alien Force's premiere. It would've given Classic a lot more of a send-off, I question if Goodbye and Good Riddance would've been aired with this piece de la resistance blowing everyone out of the water.

[@DeJerson]

WOW... I wasn't expecting this rewrite to be this good. The Negative 10 lineup feels more strategic from someone who is trying to be the leader of the Forever Knights because if he was the Forever King he would have pulled up with his knights. At first, I thought the addition of aliens like Logan and Dr. Victor would be against the Forever Knights' beliefs, but then I remember that in Ben 10 Classic they weren't portrayed to hold a strong prejudice towards aliens and Driscoll couldn't be picky. The reveal of Feedback actually gave me chills. I like how you wrote the sub energy as powerful and chaotic as it is while making a build-up that would justify the introduction of Feedback. CHILLS. Actual CHILLS. Watching your rewrite made me think that it would easily be a 3 part episode. Expanding the Forever Knights as an organization, establishing the villains dynamic, and Cooper's character and training with the Tennysons. Again... AMAZING REWRITE. Glad I've watched it

Dude, the feedback idea is really f.....awesome! It would answer a lot of questions about why "out of nowhere" Feedback was Ben's favorite alien for a while, because he was the Alien that literally sucked up a supernova and blasted it into space thus saving earth. And it would make his arc in Omniverse a lot more emotional, especially since we would be asking why he did not make an appearance in Alien Force and Ultimate Alien. Then when we finally get to his arc in Omniverse the investment would be enormous because he would not be simply a new alien that they are developing now, but simply the alien that closed of the original serie, and it would make his quote: "Did you miss me?" a lot more impactful!

Kuro should DEFINITELY recreate this episode with this exact plot! It's just too good to leave out!

[@choco699]

I honestly feel like introducing feedback would be good - however this is the wrong way to do it. Every scene we spend developing Cooper, there should be at least one mini sequence of his powers messing with the watch. Eventually his meddling gets so bad it forces Bens arm to become leathery with Conductoid DNA without transformation, but reforming quickly. During the final fight when Cooper finally gets control of his powers, I feel like Ben should be losing his fights, hard. Then Ben gets an idea and prompts cooper to do whatever he did before and force the watch to transform him - into Feedback. Ben gets blasted with electricity and then tries blocking it subconsciously with all his tendrils and arms, causing his head tendrils to absorb it. He first thinks this is it but then releases it with a punch - exploding his hand then releasing green energy from his fingertips with maybe a cool painted frame to show. It then proceeds as normal. I’ve been thinking of a movie plot which would be nice to wrap up Ben 10 and introduce feedback but this works quite well.

[@samlewis6487]

The only problem I have with the episode is that everything feels like it could have been something they wrote at the time (even the Alien Force setup, since AF would have been being written around this time), except Feedback, which you acknowledge could be replaced with Upchuck like in the original.

I must admit, this is an amazing re-write! Sure, this is written in hindsight of future storylines and ideas, but I think it would still be a fun story! I never noticed a lot of the flaws you pointed out (although in fairness, I don't usually think things through when I have no one to discuss it with), but I think the interconnectivity is amazing! Honestly, if they did this as another "What-if" special and used this idea, I wouldn't be upset! Or if you made this as a comic special fan project! And although it would require a lot more adaption, perhaps this would be interesting to see Ben tackle in the future at some point! You could have another sub-energy and the same plot as you laid it out, just simply changing out some of the villains or making it more intergalactic. Heck, if this was a TV movie as opposed to a two-part special, you could also have Vilgax come in as a disruptor factor (as I doubt he would join a team like the Negative 10 without being at the head of it, which wouldn't mesh with his desire for the Omnitrix), an extra wild card that everyone has to deal with!

14:30 I think a really cool suit that would fit thematically would be a Manticore suit (Lion + Bat + Scorpion). Let me explain why: -Manticores are often associated with European midevil folklore, which would be perfect as he’s teaming up with the Forever King -Given that this is the effective series finale of the og series, I think his final suit should be something more bombastic than a regular animal And as for abilities: -The Lion aspects would include one gauntlet that enhances strength and has claws, as well as armor and a helmet that would look like a lions head with Animos face being in the mouth. There would also be boots that allow him to jump extra high -The bat aspects would involve wings that only allow him to glide, so he’d still need the mutant bat, but also have built in speakers that can amplify the mutant bats supersonic screams -The scorpion aspects would include, of course, a giant tail that could possibly be tipped with some sort of dizzying venom and a pincer gauntlet, which is why there would only be one lion gauntlet

Nah. That moment was cringe. Gwen breaking down in tears in a moment of danger is not in her character especially after everything she's been through.

The OS also never built up Kevin as a sympathetic character (one of the reasons why his reform in AF was too sudden) and he never had any emotional connection to her whatsoever. If anything, it would make more sense to give Charmcaster this moment of humanity, as the OS had her villainy rooted in the abuse she received from Hex and therefore more worthy of sympathy.

in regards to Dr animo, throughout the series as mentioned his gear has always been based on animals, his first although many say horns have always seemed like insect antennae to me, so hes done insectoid, his next set up was gorilla which is mammalian, and this next was crustacean, so my idea for his appearance in the new negative 10 should be avian. more specifically i think a good idea would be a plague doctor's get up where he uses the mask to control the bat. and could be introduced at the time you said but make it more mysterious, so he appears with the mask covering his face and says "ah, ben, your overdue for an appointment" ben: "who's this guy?" animo: "not, surprising you don't recognise me, it has been a while since your last checkup, but don't worry" mutant bat smashes through the window he was in front of in the episode "take one of these and call me in the morning!" i am a bit biased toward making animo a bit cooler as he was always my favourite villan in the original series, but hey.

[@vigilantsycamore8750]

Having Kevin be part of the Negative 10 is a brilliant idea (and actually similar to an idea I had myself a while back) Animo could potentially be more than just part of the B-Team - maybe Driscoll recruits him to control Kevin instead of using the collar thing? Like, maybe Driscoll could offer to have Animo fix Kevin's mutation and return Kevin to his human form if the plan succeeds... and as a contingency plan, Driscoll could have Animo figure out a way to take control of Kevin, or at least immobilise him, if Kevin ever turns against Driscoll. Though that would raise the question of what happens to Kevin at the end, since there's no collar to break and send him back to the Null Void. Maybe Kevin turns against Driscoll, and Animo immobilises him and sends him back to the Null Void? Also, I know this rewrite is mostly specific to this 2-parter, but you could also add/alter some scenes throughout Season 4 to foreshadow the Negative 10. Not giving too much away, just hinting that villains are teaming up - like, one episode could end with a scene where Dr Victor, and Animo get Kevin out of the Null Void; another could have Charmcaster summoning Zombozo; yet another could have Animo mutating Clancy; and maybe at the end of My Big Fat Alien Wedding, Rojo and Kane show up to recruit Logan

I know I super late, but I actually really like these changes and think it fixes more than enough I felt was wrong with the negative 10. Firstly introducing feedback here is amazing I could see how ben would be super reliant on feedback after beating the forever king which would up the ante both when Ben loses feedback to malware but also regains the transformation again. This could be because two of my favourite omniverse moments involve feedback (taking down maltruant and malware). My second thing I love is developing both Kevin and Cooper, the part is pretty obvious but also having gwen be the thing that starts to bring back his sanity sets the stage for there relationship in UAF and also gives some context as to why gwent thinks she can save Kevin from insanity in UA because she already did it once before. Finally to answer your animo question I like the idea of using a dragon based of designs from the forever knights dragon we see in AF (another story that had potential but went nowhere)
