Max states to let him and the others finish off Vilgax's droids and Null Void beasts and orders Ben to go after Vilgax. The only thing left to do now is clean up the mess Vilgax made. The team arrives back in Bellwood, in the middle of the invasion, but without any of the energy cores, Vilgax's projector has run out of power. While all energy cores have been destroyed, Vilgax has someone under his employment, making a new one from the energy in Taydenite on MorOtesi: Chromastone's home planet. Paradox arrives and sends them back to their own dimension, and states that Max knew his transmissions were being interrupted and attempted to deceive Vilgax.
Gwen, Kevin, and Ship find Ben by tracking his mana, but sadly Gwen isn't able to find Verdona. After defeating Zs'Skayr's Ectonurites, Ben confronts Zs'Skayr himself and defeats him by taking full advantage of his only weakness: light. To make matters worse, Zs'Skayr is revealed to be 'alive' and well and states that Ben was most unwise to travel into his domain. She transports the trio to the Anur Dimension, but accidentally splits them up. Then, out of the blue, Verdona arrives and states that Max sent her to help.
It appears that Vilgax's mockery holds true, as Anur Phaetos is not a planet in the technical sense, but in fact an alternate dimension, one of which they can't access.
