Synopsis

Jarret wants revenge on Rath, and he's stopping at nothing to get it done!

Plot

The comic starts off with Swampfire in his car with SixSix and Kraab firing lasers at him. He recalls how he got into this mess: Someone needed him to rescue aliens were held hostage on Lewoda. The team took the Rustbucket III to Lewoda, and when they got there, they found out that SixSix and Kraab had tricked Ben to get revenge. Ben then defeats them by transforming into Chromastone. After SixSix and Kraab are defeated, Jarret appears with some henchmen, commanding Ben to turn into Rath to get revenge on him. Ben does so and easily defeats him. Ben commands the Plumbers to arrest Jarret.
