As was suggested, we are looking for writers to recreate the episodes in Season Three of Alien Force. If you are interested, place a reply in this thread stating which episode you would like to write. Please keep in mind the following guidelines:
1. Try to work within the overall subject of the episode. You can put your own flair to it, add the story arc to it (which will be discussed later), and make changes to how it was in canon, but please be sure to include the major characters that appeared in the original episode.
2. Keep it in character.
3. If you want to include pairing, be sure that they remain canon. Many of us have our own shipping preferences, but keep those to your personal fics please.
4. Get a beta. If you do not know someone who can beta your work, let me know and I'll do it.
We are also looking for suggestions for an overall story arc since it seems to be missing for this season. If you have any ideas, feel free to post them here.

Below is a list of episodes for Season Three and a brief summary of each one (taken from Wiki because it was easier to get all of the info that way). I will update this post as volunteers "adopt" each episode.
#27/28 Vengeance of Vilgax Vilgax resurfaces with a new army. Under the Galactic Code of Conduct, he challenges the greatest champion of each world he visits to single combat, the prize being that champion's planet. Each time he defeats a champion, he absorbs their powers, the tenth and latest being Ultimo of the Galactic Enforcers. With the strength of ten heroes at his disposal, Vilgax heads to Earth and challenges Ben, giving him 24 hours to prepare. In order to gain a sporting chance, Ben attempts to unlock the Omnitrix's Master Control even when Azmuth warns him not to, Ben ends up releasing Way Big, Chromastone, Goop, and Spidermonkey. Ben's attempt to unlock the Omnitrix causes an overload, releasing the base forms for Chromastone, Spidermonkey, Goop, and Way Big. Kevin is also trapped in a mutated metal/rock/wood form by the energy release. Ben, Gwen and Kevin set out to recapture the four released forms under the orders of Azmuth. They are able to capture three of the four, but Way Big is too far away to reach in time. Ben leaves to fight Vilgax while Gwen and Kevin retrieve Way Big. The battle goes badly for Ben at first, as Vilgax's powers and wide array of weapons are able to overcome his alien forms. When Gwen and Kevin return with Way Big, Ben attempts to use the form, only to end up as Chromastone instead. Vilgax destroys Chromastone, but Ben regenerates from the remains into Diamondhead. Using Diamondhead, Ben easily defeats Vilgax. Vilgax is banished from Earth and never allowed to return, but promises to get his revenge somehow.
NOTES: Ben regains Diamondhead in this episode. This episode and the previous one are aired as one episode on several versions of Cartoon Network outside of the United States.

#29 Inferno Ben, Gwen, and Kevin are sent to investigate an attack by Pyroxivors (a type of subterranean cattle) on a oil drilling operation. Deep underground, they discover the mole-like Moldywarp, their owner. He explains that the creatures were driven above ground by Vulkanus, who has drilled into the Earth's core in order to drop a bomb within, thereby raising the temperature of Earth to match that of his home planet. Ben manages to stop the bomb before it can reach the core, and Moldywarp uses his cache of explosives to seal the cavern permanently.

#30 Fool's Gold A species of goat-like aliens comes to Earth for a Popcorn Festival in Walton. These aliens feed on popcorn and produce solid gold poop, which keeps the town running. Ben, Gwen, and Kevin are called in by one of the aliens named Orb, who has lost track of his friend, Decka. Mayor Coleman has kidnapped Decka in hopes of having a constant supply of gold, but when he feeds the alien meat, he morphs into a primal form that will multiply uncontrollably if it absorbs enough energy (their species is apparently responsible for Mars being a wasteland). After being told that the species cannot digest silicon, Ben feeds Decka an army of Echo Echos, causing him to vomit up everything he ate and return to normal. He and Orb then leave in their ships, with Decka stating that he will tell everyone and they will never come back (except Orb, who would come back). Before Mayor Coleman is brought to justice, Kevin gives Gwen a locket with a picture of her and him before the accident to remember him as he was.

#31 Simple An alien child named Probity asks Ben to help resolve a conflict that has been ravaging her planet for decades. While Ben tries (and fails) to get the two sides to see reason, Kevin runs into Argit who is selling weapons to both sides. Kevin forces Argit to cut him in on the scam, much to Gwen's displeasure. Ben's efforts to bring peace result in him inadvertently destroying the statue of the planet's most famous resident, which unites the entire planet against him (ironically accomplishing his goal in a roundabout manner). Kevin decides to cut and run with the profits he's made thus far upon hearing the news, but has to leave the money behind. The money is found by Probity (whom was dissatisfied at Ben's attempts to stop the war).
NOTE: Ben uses a new alien called Lodestar.

#33 Single Handed A bounty hunter named Sunder attempts to remove the Omnitrix from Ben. His energy axe reacts with the Omnitrix, sending Ben into the Null Void but with his left hand still on Earth, connected by a dimensional rift. Ben's hand, acting of its own accord, locates Julie, who takes it to Gwen and Kevin. While Kevin works to reunite Ben with his hand, Julie and Gwen hold off Sunder. They use the hand to fight off Sunder while Kevin builds a device to return Ben to Earth. In a twist of irony, Ben is brought back on Earth while his hand is sent to the Null Void. Using Sunder's axe in combination with his own device, Kevin restores Ben and Sunder is sent to the Null Void.

#34 If All Else Fails An earthquake wakes a Highbreed officer, who was put into stasis and only to be awakened if the Highbreed lost the war. Per his orders, he triggers a weapon of last resort meant to destroy Earth. Mind-controlling seeds take over Grandpa Max and four others, using them as the brain for a living bomb that will end all life on the planet. The Highbreed officer refuses to believe Ben's claims of peace, and won't divulge how to stop the creature. While Gwen and Kevin try to slow it down, Ben enlists the aid of Reinrassic III to get the Highbreed officer to cooperate. Unable to stop the monster from the outside, Ben, Gwen, and Kevin sneak inside the monster to destroy it within. They manage to save the humans being used as its brain and the Highbreed officer sacrifices himself to dispose of the creature safely.

#35 In Charms Way Kevin is upset by his inability to change back to human form and he vents his frustration by blaming Gwen for her inability to help. Charmcaster, seeking to steal Gwen's powers, charms Kevin to trick her into walking into a trap. Despite discovering the ruse and coming prepared, Gwen is still drained of her power. Kevin tricks Charmcaster into returning to Ben and Gwen, allowing Gwen to reverse the spell and regain her powers. Gwen then sucks Charmcaster into a magical vortex. Afterward, Ben explains to Kevin that Gwen has been using every spare moment to find a cure for Kevin without telling him, leaving Kevin in a state of deep regret.

Ben comes up with a plan for Ghostfreak to possess his body so his DNA will return to the Omnitrix, but Ghostfreak takes over Ben.

It quickly copies the powers of Ben, Gwen, and Kevin as they attempt to destroy it. The Vreedle brothers then show up to take the Destructor for themselves. As it has already learned to copy the trio's powers and sees them as enemies, they escape easily. However, the Vreedle brothers return in short order as the Destructor has become uncontrollable and much more destructive. They try to leave it on Earth, but it blows up their ship when they try to retreat. After a long battle, the trio manages to remove its power source.

#44 Vendetta: A deadly criminal known as "Ragnarok" breaks out of the Null Void, and begins a search for a mysterious key. Meanwhile, Kevin returns home to find his house ransacked with his mom, who confesses the truth about Ragnarok. Kevin then asks Ben and Gwen if they know anything about Ragnarok, and when they tell him they don't he tells them to stay out of the situation. The two, now concerned, ask Grandpa Max if he knows anything about the escapee. He confesses of having a partner named Devin, who risked his life to stop Ragnarok several years previously. His partner's full name was none other than Devin Levin, Kevin's father. Ben and Gwen track Kevin with his plumber's badge and together force Ragnarok to flee. Gwen then helps Kevin find the "key" which is revealed to be disguised as a picture frame of a younger Kevin and his father, but Ragnarok steals it, then teleports to his ship. Ben, Gwen, and Kevin manage to transport themselves via the same signal, but before they find Ragnarok, Kevin tricks the other two to get into an escape pod. With Ben and Gwen descending down to Earth, Kevin can now extract his vengeance without interference (as the episode sates "Vendetta" another word for revenge). He and Ragnarok battle, while Kevin causes the entire ship to destabilize into a vortex. Ragnarok begs Kevin to save him, stating that his father would to. Despite his desperation, Kevin merely takes his key and deliberately allows him get sucked into the vortex. When Ben and Gwen ask what happened, he simply states that Ragnarok didn't make it.
