Prologue: The new strategy
"I have a new assignment for you, Ulquiorra."
Sousuke Aizen calmly announced to the Espada standing in front of him. Ulquiorra stood still in the man's presence with his hands behind his back and eyes fixed. He was ready to receive his orders like any obedient follower of Aizen. He owed the man his life for using the hogyoku to revive him.
"This mission is very import to our objective" Aizen leaned back crossed his legs and rested his cheek on his hand. It was finally time to put his plan into action. "I need you to get me the substitute shinigami…. Kurosaki Ichigo"
The Cuarto Espada's expression didn't change "Hai Aizen-sama". The Espada bowed and turned his way to leave. Quietly the door pushed open and he silently excused himself.
Aizen turned to the screen once again, looking back at the picture of the orange-haired shinigami.
"It wont be long now… Kurosaki"
"Kuchiki Rukia and Abarai Renji reporting sir!"
Both shinigami looked around the room confused. All the captions were gathered in two lines with Yamamoto sou-taichou in the middle leaning on his cane with his regular grumpy expression.
"Kuchiki-san Abarai-fukutaicho, you were called here to hear the recent discovery made by the 12 division…. This information involves you two as well as the captions
All the captions stood still waiting to hear the news about this new discovery "kurotsuchi-taicho report"
The freaky looking caption stepped forward with a smirk and started to report the new information
"A few days ago while researching the current Aizen and Kings Key problem, my squad came across some…. interesting information regarding on how to create it. The first option is to find a large area encroached with spiritual power and sacrifice that…. but there's a second way
Another way? The small caption's turquoise eye's narrowed and stepped forward
"how can there be another way"
"Let me finish!" kurotsuchi snapped and gave Toshiro a death glare "humph" kurotsuchi turned his head back to the front and faced all the captions
"as I was saying before I was rudely interrupted" giving Toshiro another glare who moved his head to the side and looked away from the caption "the second way is to get a sacrificial container with nearly unlimited reiatsu. The container being anything, souls, people, or even a person with a huge quantity of spiritual power"
Silence met this statement as everyone let this new information sink in
Toshiro lifted his head "Who are the possible people for this"
"well who else could fit the description other then the roukia boy….. Kurosaki Ichigo"
Rukia's blood froze and looked over to Renji who was thinking the same thought she was… they had to go and get Ichigo
Yamamoto opened his eyes to where they were just slits and looked at Rukia and Renji. "Abarai-fukutaicho Kuchiki-san your mission is to bring the substitute shinigami Kurosaki Ichigo to soul society to secure his safety from the traitor Aizen."
"HAI! Yamamoto sou-taichou!" and Renji and Rukia ran off
I hope we aren't to late… Ichigo please be safe
Ichigo whipped his hand over his face taking off his hollow mask. He was walking home after another sleepless night defending Karakura from hollows. It's been 2 months since him and his friends rescued Inoue and Aizen and his arrancar went back into hiding. While he was here soul society was doing everything in their power to get ready for Aizen's next move.
His thinking was interrupted when he was hit by a rush of a huge amount of spiritual pressure What the hell? He put his hand on the hilt of his zanpakuto preparing for another battle. Where did that pressure come from... He looked around until he saw a black garganta close in the sky looks like I'm not going to bed tonight he looked closer at the garganta and saw a blue haired figure with his hands in his pockets. There was a hollows jaw on the side of his face and a number 6 right above his hip next to a hollow hole placed on his lower mid stomach. Ichigo frowned "Grimmjow" He flashed stepped himself up to where Grimmjow was standing.
Grimmjow scowled at the sight of the orange hair shinigami "heh well at least you saved me the trouble of finding you"
Ichigo's eyes narrowed "Cut the crap Grimmjow why are you here!"
By now Ichigo had his zanpakuto unwrapped and clutched in his hands. There's no other Espada with him… is he alone? No… he couldn't have given off that huge amount of reiatsu by himself
Grimmjow snickered "Bring it on Shinigami! Give me a reason for why I came here!"
Grimmjow lunged at Ichigo with amazing speed aiming for his head, Ichigo shunpoed to his left avoiding the attack by mere centimeters.
"If this is all you got Grimmjow then you shouldn't have even bothered coming!" Ichigo flashed stepped behind Grimmjow and roars, "Getsuga Tensho!" the blackish red wave of energy engulfs Grimmjow in seconds. From within the dark blast, Ichigo could hear the Espada laughing and immerged unscathed by the attack
"Teh! Is that all ya' got shinigami?!" Grimmjow pulled out his sword and slashed Ichigo's shoulder making him loosen his defense position
not missing the chance he charged at Ichigo and landed a kick right in his stomach, sending him flying through multiple buildings. Grimmjow laughed in enjoyment of the pleasure he was getting by beating up the Orange haired teenager. The dust cleared as Ichigo stumbled to his feet and saw blood dripping from his forehead and shoulder "damn it" He placed his zanpakuto in front of him and the cloth wrapped around his arm
"BAN…KAI!" black reiatsu swarmed around Ichigo then disappeared revealing him in his bankai form.
Ichigo flash stepped behind Grimmjow at an even faster speed and shot another Getsuga Tensho. Grimmjow was sent flying to ground and crashed into the ground. He whipped his forehead and found blood smoothed out on his hand
"You son of a bitch!"
Ichigo saw a red sphere forming in Grimmjow's hand and shot right at him cero! Ichigo whipped his sword in front of him being pushed back by the force of the cero struggling to cut through it. Ichigo finally slashed through the attack but didn't see Grimmjow anywhere where'd he go his eyes went from side to side searching for the Espada and before he knew it Grimmjow Sonido'ed right in front of Ichigo lashing his side. Ichigo let out a grunt of pain and stumbled backwards. Grimmjow let out a laugh of pleasure then punched Ichigo in face sending him to the floor. Shit… Ichigo struggled to his knees and looked up seeing Grimmjow kneeling down looking him straight in the face. His blue eyes showed a crazy maniacal look in his eyes like he was enjoying the fight.
"I'm disappointed in you...shinigami"
Quickly struggling to his feet Ichigo flash stepped a few meters into the air distancing himself from his opponent but paused straight in his tracks
Ichigo leaned to the right avoiding another attack from Grimmjow, only to have him slam his foot down upon his back, hurling him through the air and crashing into the ground creating a crater in the ground where he landed. Grimmjow's feet reached the ground and he started walking around looking for the injured shinigami. "What's wrong shinigami?! You can't be beat yet! Come on out!" he sensed the boy's reiatsu and started walking towards him until he heard him whisper something.. Ichigo lifted his head. His eyes started to flow with spiritual power. He lifted his hand above his face but hesitated…. Ever since a while back he has felt like his mask had gotten... heavier like he was becoming closer to his hollow but he didn't have time to be afraid"
"This fight… ends now"
Ichigo swung his hand down. Spiritual pressure flew everywhere and Grimmjow just stood waiting to see what the hell the shinigami is going to try to pull next. The black and red energy subsided reveling a hollowed Ichigo. The shinigami's once warm amber eyes had turned cold black with yellow pupils, and a Hollow mask covered his entire face. Grimmjow's eyes widened Ichigo's wounds were…healed…. what? That's high-speed regeneration…only an Espada at Ulquiorra's level has that enough spiritual power to do it during our last fight he wasnt nearly this powerful… His eyes narrowed so maybe this bastard really can be useful… Grimmjow snapped out of thinking when Ichigo charged at him and swung his Zanpakuto at his chest.
Ichigo and Grimmjow clashed swords again causing nearby buildings to crumble. The force Ichigo was giving off started pushing Grimmjow back "Getsuga…Tensho!" Ichigo yelled and sent a massive crescent shape spiral of black and red reiatsu straight for Grimmjow. The attack made a direct hit leaving him panting and covered in blood.
Grimmjow charged for Ichigo planning to plunge his chest. Ichigo twirled around and swung his sword, knocking Grimmjow's hand away as it was about to plunge into his chest. Grimmjow's eyes widened. Ichigo lifted his Zanpakuto into the air and black and red light swirled around his blade with what seemed to be a hollow mask in the mist of it but right as Ichigo was going to let down his sword to unleash his powered up Getsuga Tensho and finish the battle a different blade stopped his.
Ichigo's eyes widened in shock what? He followed the blade to see who it belonged to…. His eyes locked with the cold dark green ones…. It was Ulquiorra. He slashed Ichigo's sword aside easily and started to charge a green cero at the tip of his finger. "cero" Ichigo got into a defense position but before couldn't hold it back. The cero struck him penetrating his stance and sending him flying into a nearby building
"you bastard this is my fight!" Grimmjow yelled while pushing Ulquiorra out of the way
The expressionless Espada turned and stared at Grimmjow with chilling green eyes. The arancar had pale grey skin and a black number four in his chest next to hollow hole in the middle of it.
"Our orders from Aizen-sama were to capture the boy and bring him back. Not kill him. And if I had let it continue you would have died."
Ulquiorra then glared at Ichigo who was lying covered in rubble and blood. The Espada's murderous look made him feel panicked This guys is strong… with that one attack he broke my arm and two of my ribs… Ichigo lifted his hand above his face ready to summon his hollow mask that had been destroyed by Ulquiorra's previous Cero. I gotta get this done quickly Ichigo proceeded to pull his hand down but was stopped mid way. His eyes widened to find the Cuarto Espada clutching his wrist. Before Ichigo could react Ulquiorra kneed Ichigo in the gut with extreme force causing him cough up blood
"you….bast….ard" and with that Ichigo passed out. Ulquiorra tossed the unconscious shinigami to Grimmjow and opened a new garganta with the tap of his finger.
"bring him"
"why the fuck do I have to carry him?!"
Ulquiorra turned to Grimmjow. Grimmjow knew he wouldn't stand a chance against Ulquiorra so he sucked up his pride and scooped up the unconscious Ichigo with one hand and swung in over his shoulder and headed into the black portal. Before the two Espada could depart from the world of the living a bright light shined and revealed a Japanese style door. It slid open to revel a petite raven-haired girl standing next to a tall boy with red spiked hair pulled back in a ponytail. Rukia and Renji stepped out of the door and looked around
"Ichigo…Ichigo!" Rukia saw Ichigo being taken away by the two and flashed stepped as fast as she could Renji close behind her
"ICHIGO!" Rukia had sped up even faster desperately trying to get to Ichigo. Grimmjow just turned around and smirked at her. Rukia jumped at the portal "NO!" but before she could make it through, the garganta closed and she fell onto the sky floor.
"We…we were…to late"
