[AUTHOR NOTE; I'm only really redoing this story as it was relatively popular! And I hope I can make it better!]
Above the quiet town, a vicious battle was taking place. The sword slashed, both the wielder and the sword itself screaming, the hollow disappearing with a gurgle. There were many hollows approaching Karakura Town. Too much to just be a mere coincidence. The orange haired teen let his Zanpaktou, Zangetsu, rest at his side for a second. He scanned the area, his hazel eyes taking in the numbers, his chest rising and falling as he fought to get his breath back.
'Shit! How many of these things are there?' He was getting increasingly pissed off. He was in the middle of class, again, when the horde of Hollows decided to attack. "At this rate, I'm surprised I'm not expelled.." He muttered under his breath.
He charged at them once more, unleashing two Getsuga Tenshou's, which seemed to deplete the hollow's numbers considerably… for the time being. It didn't take long for more to come through, though. His friends were off in the distance, fighting off their own small army. "I hope Renji and Rukia are okay. They seem to be having a hard time as well.."
He didn't have much time to ponder, as the screech of the hollow approaching him broke his concentration.
While he fought a seemingly never-ending battle, another Garganta split open the sky. An army of humans wearing demon masks poured through the opening, Ichigo was concentrating too much on the hollows to sense the human's presence approach him. Without as much as a second passing between the human's arriving, they surrounded the boy. The Hollows backed off and retreated back to where they came from, but Ichigo was too preoccupied to notice. The masked humans wore army uniforms, but instead of the usual green camouflage, these had dark grey and blacks. Their entire look was unusual. They all wore the same mask, the exact same clothes, and a dark hood to cover their hair.
Ichigo was confused, his eyes darting around, trying to keep all of the new enemies in his sight - his brain buzzing as he tried to keep his eye on his countless new enemies... but it was a fruitless venture.
A flash of metal and what felt like a very hard shove was all that Ichigo could register. He found himself panting, even though he was perfectly fine a couple of seconds before.
He went to clutch his injury, but his hand was not able to touch his shoulder as easily as usual.
There was what seemed a piece of machinery attached to it. The small machine couldn't have been much larger than his hand, but it had the weight of something ten times the size. Suddenly the machine sputtered and roared into life, with an angry metallic sound, and little lights on its body began flashing.
Ichigo roared in pain, as the machine stabbed into his shoulder, through the flesh and muscle, and eventually grasping on to the very bone. The deeper it dug, the louder it was becoming - it was deafening.
"What the h-!"
Without warning, Ichigo groaned, the world turning dark as he passed out, body becoming limp as he started plummeting towards the town, head first.
One of the female humans dashed under him and managed to catch him by his collar. With a casual flick of her wrist, he flung him over her shoulder, uncaring.
Placing her hand in front of her, another portal ripped open. Casually throwing Ichigo to one of her accomplices, the rest of the horde rushed through the portal, leaving little evidence that they were even there. As silence came back over the area, the woman pulled back her sleeve to show a communications device.
"This is Briggard. We got him. Returning to HQ. Over and out."
There was a smugness in her voice, an implied smirk. Just as the portal was beginning to close, Briggard disappeared into the portal, a crack of electricity the only evidence, left.
