Hey guys, Flipkicks and today I bring you is a new version of "The Reaper of DXD", thank you guys for checking out the previous version of the story.
This story will be very different from the previous story but will still have the same idea that I had with bringing the factions together.
I do not own neither series or the characters from different animes/manga's.
Flashback: 1 year ago, Yhwach's World
"Kurosaki! NOW!" Uryu yells at his friend after firing a silver arrow at Yhwach's heart, temporarily making Yhwach lose his powers at the moment.
Ichigo rushes over to his almost destroyed Bankai. Yhwach launches himself in the air as Ichigo retrieves his almost destroyed Zanpakuto, resting his sword on his shoulder.
"So what if you managed to stop my powers for just an instant?!" Yhwach yells at the top of his lungs, surrounding his black aura around him and Ichigo.
'Gotta end this now!' Ichigo jumps into the air and prepares to strike Yhwach down but quickly appears right in front of Ichigo's face, trying to destroy the Zanpakuto completely but it only destroyed the out layer of Ichigo's Zanpakuto, only to reveal the original look of his Shikai before he lost his powers.
Ichigo slices Yhwach vertically, causing the Father of the Quincy to see what his former 2nd-in-command has been dreaming on.
It was the former appearance of Zangetsu that would one day, kill him and stop everything he wanted to achieved. The sliced body pieces fell towards the ground, close by Uryu as Ichigo lands on the ground as well, tired from and exhausted from this long bloody war.
"Finally..." Ichigo mutters out loud and collapses.
"Kurosaki!" Uryu tries to rush over to his friends side but his injuries from facing Jugram Haschwalth, with the designation "B" - "The Balance". He was also the advisor to Emperor Yhwach and the substitute as the monarch when Yhwach sleeps, as well as the second-in-command of the Wandenreich. Uryu slowly limps his way to Ichigo as the others finally entered their way to portal.
"ICHIGO!" The others rush to Ichigo's side and Uryu's as well, hoping that Ichigo's injuries aren't serious. It was Rukia, Orihime and Chad rushing through and all helped the two of them up while Orihime was taking care of Ichigo's extended wounds.
"Kurosaki-kun!" Orihime was starting to panic as Ichigo unknowingly opened up some wounds from his previous fights and his fight with Yhwach took him beyond his limits. Blood started pouring out his body, causing Orihime to try her hardest to save the person she loves. Ichigo was breathing heavily as Orihime was healing him.
"How bad are his injuries?" Rukia asks the auburn haired teen.
"I don't know." Said a concerned Orihime, "His wounds should be healed but it's not working!"
"That's because I am the one that's doing it." They all turned around to see Uryu being covered up by Yhwach's black aura, "Yhwach is trying to control me and since Ichigo is still a Quincy by blood, his power still exist." Uryu said weakly, "I don't know how but Yhwach is trying to control me and I need Ichigo to do this last favor..." The black aura started attaching itself onto Uryu's body, "wake...him...up..." He struggles to maintain his control.
"There has to be something Uryu!" Rukia was trying to figure out how stop this but Uryu waves it off.
"Unfortunately there isn't." Uryu grabs his right shoulder in pain, "Apparently when I was chosen to be his successor, it seemed that I would share that same fate as he did." The black aura started to reach his face and Uryu slaps Ichigo so that he can wake up. "Damnit Kurosaki! Wake your ass up!" He shouted at the orange haired Reaper.
Ichigo opened his eyes and sees his friend.
"What the hell?!" Said a surprised Ichigo, "What's going on?" He asks the Quincy heir.
"I need you to kill me Kurosaki..." Uryu clutches his heart, "If you don't kill me, Yhwach will take over my mind and the fight will continue on..." Ichigo didn't want to do it as he is basically killing his friend and a distant cousin because of their Quincy Bloodline. He was trying to figure out how he can he save his friend but after Uryu explained it to him, there was no way for him to be saved and Ichigo only had one choice.
"Damnit..." He clutches his hands into a fist, trying to hold his anger in and he did what Uryu asked of him. He picks up Tensa Zangetsu and pierces his sword into Uryu's heart, shocking everyone around him and Uryu smiled sadly as he was about to die from his friend.
"The punishment for what you've done shall be this than." Uryu lays his head on on his friends right shoulder, "You'll live on, carrying the burdens of the Quincies. You bare the pain and suffering of Quincies and you will always wear a mask serving as a Quincy and as a Soul Reaper." Uryu said, weakly and can feel that his life is about to be taken away from his friend and ally, Ichigo Kurosaki.
"You'll no longer life your life as a normal student nor will you ever. You will no longer live your life as Ichigo Kurosaki." He places his left bloody on Ichigo's left cheek, "You shall sacrifice your ordinary pleasures in life for the benefit of the world. For all eternally."
His hands were shaking uncontrollably, to think that he would have to kill one of his friends. "I accept the terms of this contract." Ichigo said quietly as he sheds a tear that final moment for killing his former friend and with Uryu last moments, he left a bloody hand print on his face as he pulls out his Zanpakuto out of his heart, placing his sword on the ground and helping Uryu's body lay down. Using his two fingers, he closes Uryu's eyes, "Rest in peace, Ishida." He turns around and begins to walk away.
With one last look,He looks at his hands and sees his bloody palms, shaking that he would be the one to kill his friend.
'Damnit...' He closes his eyes and he fell unto his knees, he places his hands on his head, trying his best not to let his pain be heard but couldn't as he screams into the air. Letting his emotions be heard for the first time since the day Grand Fisher took his mother from him so many years ago.
As he was screaming, he felt someone's arms wrap their arms around his neck. He instantly could tell who's arms they belong to.
"Orihime..." He looks at the right corner of his eyes, seeing the familiar auburn teen's hair.
"You aren't alone Kurosaki-kun." she said to the orange haired teen, "You still have us, your family and everyone in the Soul Society."
Karakura Town, Kurosaki Residence
6:00 A.M.
The orange haired teen instantly jolts up, looking around his room, sweating from the reoccurring dream.
It has been 1 year since the defeat of Yhwach and the Wandenreich. After defeating Yhwach, the remaining Gotei 13 decided that they should rebuild their destroyed society and establish connections with the remaining Arrancars and the remaining Quincies as well. Ichigo Kurosaki has been the reason why they should consider a connection with the Arrancar's with the survival of Tier Harribel, he managed to find her barely alive but thanks to Orihime, Ichigo was able to help her.
With the remaining Quincies and Ichigo being a pure blood Quincy, they were not to be killed with Yhwach's wish to change the cycle of life and death as they didn't know that was his true wish. They were ordered to be under the leadership of Ryuken Ishida, the father of the deceased Uyru Ishida. He originally was against the idea of watching over the remaining Quincies but Ichigo insisted that since Uryu did owe him during his 'betrayal'.
Whipping off the sweat from his forehead, Ichigo gets off from his bed and heads into his private bathroom.
Turning on the lights, he can see himself in the mirror. Bloodshot eyes and a scar on the left side of his lips.
'To think it was only a year since that day.' He uses his thumb and traces the scar down, feeling the pain he went through to fight against the King of the Quincies, Yhwach. 'Better get ready though.'
While it was early in the morning, Ichigo has been given one final order as a Substitute Soul Reaper of the Gotei 13. His orders were to reestablish connection with the Devils in the Underworld with the Captain-Commander being an old friend of the current overlord of the Underworld, Sirzechs Lucifer.
Taking a quick shower, getting dressed and grabbing his badge, Ichigo heads out and mentally prepares himself for a journey that will push him beyond his limits. Soon a portal appears in front of him, with one quick sigh, he enters the portal.
