Infiltrating the Plumbers' base, Khyber uploads footage of young Ben's encounter with a corrupted Mechomorph named Malware.

It is revealed that during a fight with Eleven-Year Old Ben Tennyson, Malware touched the Omnitrix symbol on Four Arms. After the battle, he went to Dr. Psychobos and made him create a prototype Omnitrix, the Nemetrix. Back in the present, after a heated argument, Ben and Rook go their separate ways, giving Khyber his best chance to capture Ben.

While trapped in Khyber's ship, Khyber tells Ben that he needs different alien DNA to complete the evil incomplete version of the Omnitrix the Nemetrix. He also reveals that Dr.Psychobos assigned him to hunt down various species for DNA to transfer it to the Nemetrix.
