Bleach: Ultimate Alien

Karakura Town Battle Part 1

Over at the Gotei 13, Suì-Fēng (Soifon's retranslated name) made a sour face at what Ben had just yelled. "Did he really just say that?" She was starting to think that Paradox was a little cracked in the head for putting his faith in this boy.

"What an idiot," said Marechiyo Omaeda, her fat and pompous lieutenant. "Does he think he's gonna look cool by saying stuff like that."

Suì-Fēng made a face at him. "Nobody asked you to comment, idiot."

Matsumoto on the other hand was fascinated. "Oh, Taicho. Isn't that cute? He's even got a battle cry."

Hitsugaya frowned at her. "So what?" he asked.

Matsumoto pouted. "How come we don't have a battle cry?"

"Why would we need one?" he asked her in annoyance.

"I think a battle cry would be stylish," Kyoraku said with a grin. "I bet Ben and I are gonna become good friends."

Ukitake just shook his head while softly chuckling at his friend's words.

Looking through the Ultimatrix, Ben came across a form he hadn't seen in a long time. He grinned.

"Time to bring back an old favorite," he said. With that, Ben slammed his palm down upon the Ultimatrix. The transformation occurred instantaneously. Crimson rock started to engulf his entire arm before it spread all over his body. Then flames burst from his body as the transformation was complete.

"HEATBLAST!" Ben yelled in a much deeper and raspy voice.

"Wow!" Matsmuto breathed.

"Amazing!" Kyoraku complimented.

"Whoa!" Omaeda cried. "How did he do that?"

Yamamoto narrowed his eyes. "So this is the power of the Ultimatrix."

From his prison, Gin laughed. "What's with everyone and fire today?" he asked jokingly.

Ben had transformed into a flaming humanoid being made of flaming red rocks with magma in the cracks on his body. His hands had grown in size and looked like they could pack a punch. His head was literally on fire.

"Man, it's been a while since I turned into Heatblast!" cheered the Pyronite. He rubbed his hands together. "Ok! Let's do this!"

Heatblast aimed his palms downward and focused his power, unleashing a tornado of flame which propelled him into the sky like a rocket. Flying through the air like this gave him a nostalgic feeling. Memories of using Heatblast when he was ten years old played through his mind. Once in the air, Heatblast created a giant fireball that he rode on so that he could get closer to where the Shinigami and Aizen's men were about to clash. Once he was near them, he dispersed the fire ball. Being older and smarter, Ben had found more creative ways to use forms like Heatblast. Flames shot out of his feet to keep him aloft in the air as he crossed his arms. "So, am I late for the party or what?"

Gwen sighed when she heard her cousin. Ben was always ready for some witty bantering, but she couldn't help but smile. It reminded of the old days when Ben would turn into Heatblast and act all high and mighty. She looked around and saw that pretty much everyone was starring at Heatblast. She had to admit, Heatblast was a pretty imposing figure.

"So," Kevin said. "How about we get this started?" He put his hand on the skyscraper's roof. In an instant, his body was coated with stone.

"How did you do that?" Pesche asked, very impressed.

"Kevin's an Osmosian," Gwen explained. "He can absorb matter."

The others unfamiliar with his powers watched him with some amazement. However, Nelliel looked over at Barragan and Starrk.
