The Announcer for Cartoon Network (Space Ghost from Space Ghost Coast to Coast) decides to take the day off from hosting and watches Dexter's Laboratory. However, to his horror, he finds Dexter's world facing a very strange and utter destruction. The channel is suddenly flipped to various other shows before showing Vilgax (from Ben 10: Ultimate Alien) attacking Marzipan City. Ben Tennyson (Ben 10: Ultimate Alien) finds a newspaper regarding Vilgax's return and goes off to find him, only to get transported to Marzipan. Recognizing the setting from the Ultimatrix, Ben goes off to find Vilgax. He eventually encounters Chowder (Chowder), who has strangely been recolored and turned evil. After defeating him, the two pair up to find Vilgax, who has Mung Daal (Chowder) held hostage. Upon Ben and Chowder's arrival, Vilgax reveals that Marzipan is not another planet but an alternate dimension. Vilgax later vanishes, leaving Mung to be attacked by Forever Knights and Broccoloids. After saving Mung, the Ultimatrix detects a dimensional disturbance as Chowder's dimension is vanishing.
Ben and Chowder are then transported into Bellwood, where they battle a possessed Buttercup (from The Powerpuff Girls). They are then transported to the Null Void, where they battle Forever Knights and R.E.D.s along the way. As they find Vilgax, he transports the three to Primus, where they must battle Kevin Levin (Ben 10: Ultimate Alien), who has been turned into Ultimate Kevin 11 by Vilgax. After defeating Kevin (with help from Gwen Tennyson in the XL version), Primus (along with the rest of Ben's dimension) vanishes. Luckily, they are rescued by Dexter, who has constructed an inter-dimensional capsule-like travel machine. They decide to recruit other heroes to save the dimensions, starting with Flapjack (from The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack), but they are interrupted by Stickybeard (from Codename: Kids Next Door).
