A New Enemy

The battles against Aizen were coming to an end for a certain Substitute Shinigami, but in victory there are always losses. As the war reached its climax their were many fatalities, a Quincy, a Kind Giant, a Stray Dog, a Raven, and a Princess all died in the desert. Ichigo was the only one who remained standing and he was out for the blood of a god.

"Shinji we're closing in on Aizen, this is it the end."

"Don't get too cocky Ichigo, Aizen is powerful and even when he's weakened he's a threat even two Vizards."

The two lone Vizards burst through the doors to find an injured and tired Aizen gasping for air. The reason for this was the failed destruction of Karakura town; its legendary battle took a toll on everyone, including the false god. Aizen looked on, his face finally showing humanity, he was scared. The masks were on and they began their attack on the former Captain.

He may have been weak, but he still had enough strength to fight back.

The blonde man smiled and asked Aizen, "What's wrong old friend? I thought you could handle two mortals such as us." Aizen's faced now showed annoyance and anger, his counter attacks grew fiercer by the second and his rietsu was increasing dangerously fast." Shinji knew that it was no or never, "Ichigo hit him with everything you got, remember your friends and use that anger to attack Aizen, now!"

Without a single bit of hesitation Ichigo raised his sword and brought it back down releasing a massive wave of energy, "Getsuga Tensho."

The attack hit Aizen and also destroyed a huge portion of the Las Noches Dome and Fortress. Aizen's rietsu was faint but it was still there, so the two of them searched the ruins until they found him. His face was scared with a burn that covered everything save his left eye and forehead.

Shinji grinned, "Man Aizen you looked fucked up, well I guess we'll be doing you a service, someone as narcissistic as you can't stand to be ugly."

Before Shinji could pierce Aizen's heart, Aizen began speaking, "wait, you Ryoka boy, listen to me." Something made Ichigo want to stop, he didn't know what it was, but he was interested. "Shinji wait, let him speak, at least give him the right to a few last words."

"Well, alright, I guess I still owe him a bit for giving me this knew power."

Once he was given permission, Aizen was able to continue. "I'm sorry for causing the death of your friends; please give me a chance to fix what I have broken." "Theirs is nothing you can do Aizen, my friends are dead and soon you'll be too, finish him Shinji."

Before Shinji could hit him, Aizen put him in a binding spell. "Please Ichigo, let me help you, if I reach the top of the heavens I will have the powers of a God, do you know what a God can do Ichigo?" Something inside of Ichigo was actually thinking about taking the offer, Shinji interrupted his thoughts, "Ichigo, finish him, we can't let him live, he's too dangerous."

"No, if he can help, then we must let him help, our job as Shinigami is to purify souls, well let's give Aizen a chance to purify himself." As Shinji ripped off the binding spell he screamed, "Are you insane, I'm serious can you hear yourself?" You may not know Aizen but I do and if you're not going to kill him then I will."

"No, Shinji, you can't kill him."

"Just watch me."

But as Shinji brought his sword down, another sword went up and cut right through Shinji's arm. Shinji turned to Ichigo and slowly said, "Y-you fool." A smile took the place of a frown on Aizen's face, "Black Coffin." A giant black box former around Shinji and skewered him with giant dark blades.

Once the coffin disappeared, Shinji fell to the ground, almost every inch of his body was covered with deep cuts, and he was dead. Ichigo stared into Shinji's dead eyes and it was only then that he realized what he had done. "No! Shinji, what have I done, I'm so sorry Shinji."

Aizen rose to his feet, seemingly unharmed, though the scar was still present.

"This was merely the first step Ichigo, please stand, you have other matters to tend to, from now on you will follow my orders, is that understood?" Ichigo was silent, still looking at Shinji, "Ichigo, you don't have any other choice, you cause the death of another captain and you aided a criminal, everyone in soul society is now your enemy."

Ichigo gripped the handle of his blade and looked up at the scarred Aizen, "what is it that you want me to do, Master?" Aizen grinned at the sound of the word Master, "first things first, you must pledge yourself to me, you must swear that you will serve me and in return I will give you back our friends."

The mask on Ichigo's face slowly faded away and he looked up at Aizen with his true face, "I swear my loyalty to you, master." Aizen noticed something strange about Ichigo, even though the mask was off, his sclera remained black and his irises remained yellow.

"Good, now go into soul society and just as you did during your first visit, break into the prison and free Gin and Tousen. Then return here to Las Noches so that we can plan the downfall of all of those who stand in my way." "Yes master, is there anything else?"

"Yes, if any Shinigami get in your way, no matter who it may be, kill them, show no mercy and you're transformation will be complete, now go." Ichigo was allowed to take the remaining arrancars, they opened a gargunta and the large group walked into the center of soul society.

The landed right in front of a fourth squad group, a small boy walked up to Ichigo, it was Hanataro. "Oh high Ichigo, hey what are you doing with the arrancars, did you capture them all Mr. Ichigo. It was then that Hanataro noticed Ichigo's cold yellow eyes, "Mr. Ichigo, is there something wrong with your eye-?" Ichigo plunged his sword into Hanataro's chest and killed the boy.
