Note: The title is something I thought would look good and the quote is from halo reach. I do not own the quote, Ben 10 or bleach but I do own this story.

Chapter 1: Training

Ben Tennyson was running to Azmuth's lair. Dam it. He was going to be late. Azmuth had told him to be ready for something that Saturday, but he had forgotten to set the alrm. Now he was running for his life. Finally, after gasping for breath he reached the purple portal. It was unlike any of Azmuth's other teleportation devices but he couldn't complain.

Stepping through it, Ben came upon the laboratory of Azmuth. It was huge! It seemed to be 1 KM high, 10 km long and another 10 km wide. The amazing achievement was the sheer size of the Azmuth who was a Galvan, a species only five inches tall, was able to create such a state of the art laboratory by himself.

"Ben Tennyson," Called a voice behind him.

Staring at him, on a hover disk was Azmuth. Mind his manners Ben bowed respectively.

"Azmuth," he replied, "You have the regime ready?"

Surprisingly Azmuth smiled since he usually had a large frown on his faced and typically called been an idiot.

"Interesting, you asked," he inquired, "I previously thought is was Paradox or dumb luck that you inquired me about the "emergency" forms."

"It was obvious - " Ben answered but was cut off my a wave of Azmuth's hand.

"Of course I knew it was obvious!" he yelled then slowly calming down.

"I find I surprising that no one had asked about it. Yet somehow you discovered that I was hiding something about the Ultramatrix. I was hiding these powerful forms. Each one capable of defeating a dozen Alien X's easily." Azmuth shrugged.

Azmuth after a minute continued, "However, the sheer weight and burden that these forms have o your body will be unparalleled. Unlike the previous forms where their sensitivity to pain and awareness which was as close to a one to one ratio as possible these forms will be different."

These forms will be much greater. The pain and suffering I will feel after I turn back to human will be much more greater." concluded Ben.

He felt tense. The training was going to be difficult but if he didn't do this no one will.

"Am I not correct?"

"Yes, young Tennyson. I just have one thing to ask before we begin" eyed Azmuth with a sad look on this face. Placing his finger on the panel he lit up the floor underneath them.

"Are you ready?" he asked

"No. But I need to do this." Be answered sadly.

The floor glowed before engulfing him in a red and blue light.
