[The White Fang Headquarters. Ingrid and Saya stand in front of the techno- portal.]

Ingrid: Here it is. Just imagine what I could accomplish with the ability to travel anywhere instantaneously. I'm going to download their schematics.

Saya: While you do that, I'm going to do some reconnaissance.

[Saya walks off while Ingrid fiddles with a handheld device.]

Ingrid: Amazing...it's more advanced than I thought.

[Ingrid radios in to her headquarters.]

Ingrid: This is Ingrid. I'm transferring the portal technology to the Goshi Academy servers.

[The transmitter beeps in response.]

Ingrid: With this, I'll make Dax mine forever. Nothing will stop me.

????: Except me.

[Spotting a tiger faunus behind her, Ingrid puts away her transmitter and extends her hand.]

Ingrid: Sienna...

Sienna: I thought I'd locked you up

Sienna: I thought I'd locked you up. You may have escaped once but it won't happen again!

Ingrid: I've been admiring your portal technology. It's going to prove quite useful to me.

Sienna: Over my dead body!

Ingrid: If you insist.

[They fight. This time, having remembered Sienna's attacks from their earlier brawl, Ingrid gets the advantage and drops the White Fang Commander. Ingrid stands over her unconscious form.]

Ingrid: Your semblance, it intrigues me. Fascinating magic terramulation. Perhaps I'll take it with me.

[A zooming sound catches Ingrid's attention.]

Ben 10: (as XLR8) Ingrid!

[Ingrid turns to see an enraged Ben 10 holding a motionless Saya.]

Ingrid: Ben...what have you done to Saya?

Ben 10: Isn't it obvious? She's a criminal just like you!

[Ben releases her and she drops to the ground.]

Ingrid: You're out of the loop, Tennyson. We're all on the same side.

Ben 10: Shut up, Ingrid! I'm taking you down!

[They fight. Consumed with the rage, Ben doesn't fight with his normal mastery on the Omnitrix, allowing Ingrid to get the advantage and knock him unconscious. As she stands over Ben's beaten body, Monstrous Man and Sakura Igawa fly into the base, while Rinko Akiyama transports herself, Asagi Igawa, Oboro, Cara, Gwen Tennyson, Kevin Levin, Murasaki and the rest of the team in with one of his forcefields. Saya has picked herself off the floor and Ben begins to wake up as everyone touches down.]

Monstrous Man: Alright babe, we all got your hail. Let's end this now. Get us to Vilgax's home planet.

Murasaki: Here's your other pet.

[Murasaki shoves Cara in front of her.]

Cara: Ouch! Someone please kill her for me.

[She looks over to Oboro.]

Oboro: Back off.

Murasaki: Cara and Ben are infected. We can't trust them.

Kevin: We've all been infected, Yatsu

Kevin: We've all been infected, Yatsu. It's a risk we have to take.

Ben 10: (reverted back to normal) Not to worry, Kevin. My fight with Ingrid apparently purged me of my "combat rage" or whatever you call it.

Asagi: Gentlemen, if you're finished wasting time, we have a job to do. Open the portal, Ingrid. Take us to Vilgax's home planet.

Cara: Yay, we're all going to Hell!

Gwen: And if you're not a good girl, we'll leave you there

[Everyone walks into the techno-portal.]
