EQUESTRIA : The Shinigami Arc
Book 1: Aizen

Prolouge

Ichigo was wandering around Karakura town, enjoying his time alone and not doing anything for the Soul Society. He stopped to stretched. Looking around as the people went around their daily business. He then continued to walk when he came across something. He saw a piece of paper with weird symbols on it. He picked it up and examined it.

"Wonder if Urahara knows what this means?" Ichigo thought to himself.

He walked to Kisuke's shop and opened it up when all of a sudden he was grabbed by Tessai Tsukabishi.

"WHAT THE HELL!?" Ichigo yelled, "LET ME gO!"

"I'm Sorry Ichigo" Tessai said to Ichigo, "Urahara was expecting you."

Tessai carried Ichigo to Kisuke Urahara, who was sitting down fanning himself.

"Oh Ichigo." Urahara said while fanning himself, "I see Tessai escorted you here."

Tessai let go of Ichigo and left. Ichigo glared at Urahara.

"What the hell was that for!?" Ichigo yelled at Urahara, "You know i could have walked to you!"

"I thought Tessai bringing you here by force would suit you."

Ichigo rubbed the back of his head.

"Well what did you want anyway?"

"It seems i am missing something, it was a piece of paper with strange writing on it."

"You mean this paper?"

Ichigo went to his pockets and pulled out a piece of paper.

"Yes!" Urahara yelled, "That is what i was looking for"

Urahara took the paper and read it out loud. Soon a large portal appeared by the side of him and got up.

"The Gotei 13 will tell you the rest."

"What?" Ichigo said in a puzzled looked.

before Ichigo had a time to react, Urahara grabbed Ichigo and threw him in the portal. Ichigo screamed and looked at Urahara as he fell. Urahara tipped his hat and the portal closed. Ichigo was looking around as he fell, he stopped screaming and was more mesmerized by the colors of blue, yellow and purple flowing around him. The portal soon opened afterwards, Ichigo screamed as he fell from the sky, he landed in a small lake and swam up to breathe.

"DAMMIT URAHARA!" Ichigo screamed, "YOU COULD'VE KILLED ME YOU CRAZY BASTARD!"

Ichigo sighed and got out of the water, he stretched his arms out and looked around.

"Doesn't seem like anyone's around." Ichigo said to himself.

Ichigo began to walk around, he admired the beauty in the place he was in. The trees were all green and bright, the apples within them are are red and almost mouthwatering, the sky was very blue with barely any clouds. Ichigo looked at the birds flying by and tripped over a root in the road.

"Ya okay?" someone said.

Ichigo looked up to see an orange horse before him, he horse had green eyes and a blonde colored mane. He noticed the cart the horse was moving was filled with apples, but no one was in it.

"Uh who said that?" Ichigo questioned.

"Ah did mister." The voice said again.

Ichigo looked at the orange horse before him.

"Howdy!" The orange horse said.

Ichigo screamed and moved a good distance away from the horse.

"Are ya okay sir?" the orange horse said with a puzzled look.

"WHAT THE HELL!?" Ichigo yelled at the orange horse, "YOU CAN TALK!"

"Well yeah..." the orange horsed said stilled with a puzzled looked, "I could always talk sir, just like you can talk"

Ichigo's eyes were still wide.

"Mah name is AppleJack" The orange horse said, "And what's your name?"

Ichigo slowly got up, still looking at AppleJack and replied.

"Ichigo." he said still in shock, "Ichigo Kurosaki."

"That's a weird name." AppleJack said, "Well its nice ta meet ya."

Ichigo still stared at AppleJack, still amazed that the orange horse before him could talk.

"Where the hell am i anyways?" Ichigo questioned.

"Well y'ar in Ponyville sir." AppleJack replied, "Our humble little town in Equestria."

"Equestria?" Ichigo question, "Last i remembered i was in KaraKura town."

"What's that place?" AppleJack questioned as well, "Ah ain't never heard of that place."

"Nevermind that." Ichigo replied, "could you tell me where i can find civilization?"

"Ah was just going to town to sell some apples." AppleJack said, "I'll take ya there."

"Thanks." Ichigo said.

Ichigo walked with AppleJack.

"So are you like dem other creatures walking along Ponyville sir?" AppleJack questioned, "Ya know? the ones in those weird black clothes."

"Oh so the Soul Society is here huh?" Ichigo questioned as well as he lifted his arms and put them behind his head.

"Oh so that's what dey are?"

"We'll their called Shinigamies, they're with the Soul Society. They protect the living from creatures called Hollows."

"What's a hollow?" AppleJack questioned.

"A Hollow is a soul filled with hatred, it takes form of a monsterous creature. Killing and devouring souls to become stronger."

"Yikes! I don't think i wanna meet face to face with them creatures ya just mentioned."

"Ichigo!" A voice said.

Ichigo and AppleJack both turned around to see a man in a Shinigami uniform with red hair and a white headband walking up to them. He wrapped his arm around Ichigo's neck.

"Long time no see huh?" the red haired man said.

"Yeah Renji." Ichigo replied, "Yes it has."

"So what are y'all here for anyway?" AppleJack said.

"Its time you all knew what is going on." Someone said.

The man came out of nowhere, he was wearing a captain's uniform and has short black hair.

"Captain Kuchiki." Renji said in surprise. "I thought you were with the others.:

"I was for a while, but i heard Ichigo came here, so I left the others to inform Ichigo why we are here."

"well why are we all here then Byakuya?" Ichigo questioned.

"Aizen has escaped..." Byakuya replied to Ichigo's question.
