It's Hero Time! Vol 1 ( Ben 10 x Massive Harem)

Chapter 40:Uriel's Secret! The Segunda Etapa!

( Note:  Segunda Etapa= second stage)

Paradox continued to smile as he looked around the area. He saw all the desolation and destruction that covered the area. His eyes landed on the defeated Grinko and then on the severely injured Nnoitra, Szayel, and Tesla, who was staring at him with confused but tense expressions.

"I must say, Ben," Paradox said with a chuckle as he brought his attention back to his ally. "You certainly have a knack for getting into trouble."

Ultimate Swampfire, unable to scratch the back of his neck, settled for scratching the part of his head. It's not like he tried to get into trouble on purpose. At least not nowadays.

Ichigo, Uryu, and Orihime all exchanged glances with each other. Who was this...what did Ben say his name was? Professor Paradox? What connections did he have with Soul Society? And how did Ben know him?

Nnoitra narrowed his eyes at his opponents. More of them had popped out of nowhere. Not that it mattered at the moment. All he cared about was getting rid of Nelliel and Ben once and for all. But these new guys might try to get in his way.

Szayel was in a more calculating train of thought. So far, the attempt to gang up on Ben and his allies had failed miserably. And now Ben had reinforcements. In a brief battle, they wouldn't stand a chance. But perhaps, with his powers, Szayel could turn this fight around in his favour.

Meanwhile, Paradox looked over and saw the stupefied looks on Ichigo, Orihime, Uryu, and Nelliel's faces. His smile became a playful grin. "Ah, Ichigo Kurosaki, Uryu Ishida, Orihime Inoue, and Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck. It is a pleasure to finally meet you."

Well, this only succeeded in making the four even more confused than they already were. Paradox laughed at this. "Perhaps it would be best if I gave a better introduction. As I have already said I am Professor Paradox. As to why I am here; I'm here to help."

Szayel's eyes narrowed. Paradox. Aizen-sama had never told the Espada about anyone who went by that name. While it was confirmed that Aizen-sama had never told them any names of the people in Soul Society, it felt to him that Aizen-sama should have told them about this Paradox fellow.

"I'm glad to see you, Professor Paradox," Ultimate Swampfire told him. "You said you're here to help?"

"I told you, Ben," Paradox said. "The war has begun and now it's our move."

"Your move?" Uryu asked. This man seemed to treat this situation like it was some kind of game.

Paradox nodded in confirmation. "You didn't think we were just going to sit around and do nothing, did you?"

The little pink-haired girl chirped up. "Candy-kun wanted to help as soon as possible."

"Candy-kun?" Ultimate Swampfire asked with a dumbfounded look on his face.

Paradox chuckled while having a slightly sheepish grin on his face. "Little Yachiru seems to be the only one in Soul Society who shares my liking for gumballs." He explained.

Szayel, seeing that everyone was distracted, decided that now was the time for him to formulate some kind of plan. Sensing movement nearby, Szayel turned his head to see Nnoitra starting to rise to his feet. The fifth Espada had a crazed look on his face as he looked at Nelliel and Ben.

That idiotic barbarian. Szayel thought. A situation like this calls for intelligence, not brute force. I should be grateful that Yammy isn't here. That big lug would've been dead by now. And Tesla's weaker than both of us. I need to think of something.
