Screen 1 – New Allies
Ben stood beside Ichigo as they met up with the others—Orihime, Chad, and Uryu.
Ben crossed his arms with a grin. "So these are your friends? Looks like we've got a solid team. We'll need all the help we can get for what's coming."
Ichigo nodded firmly. "Yeah. Everyone here's got my back."
Ben smiled. "Good. You're gonna need mine too."

Screen 2 – Meeting Urahara and Yoruichi
At Urahara's shop, Ben tilted his head as a small black cat jumped onto the table.
Ben frowned. "Uh, why is there a cat here? Is this, like, your pet or something?"
Yoruichi's tail flicked. "Pet? Watch your mouth, kid."
Ben blinked. "Wait—you can talk?!"
Urahara chuckled behind his fan. "That 'cat' happens to be our guide to the Soul Society."
Yoruichi smirked. "You'll thank me later. For now, don't make me regret helping you."
Ben held up his hands. "Alright, alright, no cat jokes. Promise."

Screen 3 – The Journey Begins
Ben walked beside Ichigo, Orihime, and Chad as they approached the portal Urahara had prepared.
"I've got this," Ben said, patting the Ultimatrix on his wrist. "This is my ultimate Omnitrix. My first one—I got when I was ten. Then I upgraded it at fourteen. This version's stronger, but honestly… not perfect."
Orihime tilted her head. "So it's like… a superpower watch that's moody?"
Ben laughed. "Pretty much. You'd get along."
The portal flared open, glowing with spiritual light. Ichigo took a breath. "Let's go."
They stepped through.

Screen 4 – Arrival in Rukongai
The group emerged onto a quiet, dusty street under a pale sky.
Ichigo looked around. "So this is the Soul Society…"
Orihime whispered, "It feels… heavy here."
Ben adjusted the Ultimatrix. "Yeah. Like the air's thick with energy."
Yoruichi, still in cat form, flicked her tail. "That's because everything here is made of reishi—spiritual particles. You're breathing spirit energy."
Chad clenched his fists. "Then we'd better get used to it."
Ben smirked. "Good thing I packed some extra muscle."

Screen 5 – The Gatekeeper Appears
As they neared the massive white walls of Seireitei, the ground trembled.
A booming voice thundered, "WHO DARES APPROACH THE WHITE GATES!?"
A colossal figure appeared—Jidanbō, the Gatekeeper, towering above them like a moving mountain.
Yoruichi's voice dropped. "That's Jidanbō. The only way in… is through him."
Ben cracked his knuckles. "Big guy? Perfect."
He slammed the Ultimatrix. "Humungousaur!"
A green flash lit up the air, and suddenly, a 12-foot-tall dinosaur-like alien stood in Ben's place, muscles gleaming with power.
Ichigo blinked. "Okay, that's definitely new."

Screen 6 – Humungousaur vs Jidanbō
The Gatekeeper hefted his twin axes. "So, the beast wishes to challenge me?"
Humungousaur flexed. "Beast? Nah. I'm an evolution."
They charged, the clash echoing through Rukongai. Axes and fists collided, shaking the ground and sending a gust of wind through the air.
Ichigo shielded Orihime. "Ben's really holding him off!"
Yoruichi's golden eyes gleamed. "He's syncing alien power with reishi already. Impressive."
Humungousaur swung his tail, smashing Jidanbō into the gate.
Jidanbō laughed, wiping blood from his lip. "You're strong, alien. But the White Gates don't open easily!"
He swung again. Sparks flew as his axe struck Humungousaur's crystalline scales.
Ben pushed back. "Then I'll make my own door!"
He slammed the ground with both fists, creating a shockwave that cracked the earth and shook the entire gate.

Screen 7 – Respect Earned
Jidanbō staggered, his axes splitting in two. Slowly, he dropped to one knee.
"You fight with honor. I cannot stop warriors like you."
Humungousaur reverted to human form, breathing heavily. "Guess that means we're in."
The gatekeeper smiled faintly. "You may pass. But beware—the captains inside will not show such mercy."
Ichigo rested Zangetsu on his shoulder. "We'll take our chances."
The great gates of Seireitei opened with a deep rumble, light pouring out like sunrise.
Yoruichi turned to Ben. "Not bad for someone who's never even heard of Soul Reapers."
Ben smirked. "Not bad for a talking cat either."
