Darkstar also devises a plan to have Kevin absorb a fraction of Gwen's magical and Anodite powers and abilities so that he will hunt her looking for more. The first bit of the plan is a success, but Cooper and Darkstar need more time to finish the machine, so Ben recruits his remaining allies, Grandpa Max, Julie, and Ship, to help hold him off. After a long standoff, Ben is able to use Ultimate Echo Echo to finally subdue Kevin and hook him into the completed machine. The machine restores an exhausted Kevin to normal. Suddenly, Darkstar uses the machine to drain the powers and abilities from Kevin into himself, glowing with god-like power. Predicting this outcome in advance, Ben hits a kill switch on the machine that takes all the stolen powers from Darkstar, and gives them back to their rightful owners, in the process of returning Bivalvan, Galapagus, P'andor, Andreas, and Ra'ad to life. Ra'ad thanks them. Kevin and Gwen kiss. Then Kevin apologizes to Ben for his actions, and offers him a ride to Mr. Smoothie's to get a smoothie.
