Hello. I am Raven. I suppose this would be my second fanfic although my first one was so terrible. I apologize for writing something so bad. However, I have a good feeling about this one.
This time around I am crossing my original story Demon Chronicles with the hit Manga and Anime series Bleach. To those who are religious about the Anime and Manga like myself, hopefully I won't disappoint you.
Among the Bleach All Stars are Ichigo Kurosaki, Byakuya Kuchiki, Renji Abarai, Gin Ichimaru, Kenpachi Zaraki, and Shigekuni-Yamamoto Genryusai. Well those are the main characters but other Gotei 13 captains my make appearances. In addition, my original character Phoenix will be the main character along with a new original character who is not part of my story.
For those of you who don't know anything about my story (Which is most of you) This first chapter will be dedicated Phoenix's back story so don't worry you'll know what's going on. If you would like to read the original story, send me an email about it. (I'd post it here but I don't know how to make show up as a link or just plain text.)
Again I hope you all enjoy this fanfic and constructive criticism is wanted and welcome but please no flaming.
Disclaimer: I don't own any parts of Bleach, including name, original ideas or anything else proprietary to the Bleach franchise. Big thanks to Tite Kubo-Sensei. Domo Arigato!
Phoenix Yokomori was born the son of Raven Yokomori, a legendary half demon hero who fought for peace and justice. Following in his father's footsteps to uphold peace and justice, he trained and honed his demonic powers. However, Phoenix is later twisted to evil by a sword which is inhabited by the spirit of an ancient evil demon named Decimus, deceiving him into believing he needed only power to protect his loved ones. His misguided lust for power takes us to the start of our story.
"What is this…Immense spiritual pressure?" Ichigo asked himself as he headed towards the source.
"I have a bad feeling about this. It reminds me of the time I fought Captain Zaraki. He was so powerful. But he also reminds me of myself. I sense a strong lust for power."
Years have passed since Ichigo first went to Soul Society as a ryoka. Since then, his services to Soul Society, and more specifically the Seireitei, in dealing with certain situations have earned him a seat in 13th Company of the Gotei 13.
His current assignment was to one particular region of the world of the living which had been suffering from heavy Hollow activity. But what he had found was far more powerful than a hollow.
"You're not a hollow…But you're not soul reaper either. What the hell are you?" Ichigo asked.
"What does it matter?" the young man asked, glaring at Ichigo through blood red eyes. "If you get in my way, I won't hesitate to kill you." He replied.
"Oh yeah? Is that a threat." Ichigo asked. Even over the years Ichigo was still easily provoked.
He had so much confidence in his abilities that he would take any threat, big or small, head on, disregarding the risks. "If it's a fight you're looking for, then you're about to die."
The two men charged each other and clashed swords, the clashing blades ringing like bells. They locked eyes, the ferocity of battle burning within both pairs of eyes.
In the dark, Ichigo had failed to notice the second sword his opponent carried on his back. He reached back and gripped the hilt of the other sword before quickly drawing and striking at Ichigo, causing him to draw first blood. Ichigo quickly jumped back, surprised at the attack.
"Heh heh…Is one strike all it takes to phase you?" he taunted. Ichigo smirked. He loved hearing his opponent taunt him. It meant more glory for him when he put them in their place. And he was about to put him in his place.
He reached both swords high into the air and began preparing what seemed to be his most powerful attack. "Bankai." Ichigo commanded, causing his Zanpaku-to to transform from a giant blade without a hilt and guard, to a sword with a black blade of the same length but smaller and lighter with a hilt and hand guard in the shape of the kanji for 'Ban'.
"Tensa Zangetsu!" he exclaimed before realing back for his attack. "Getsuga Tensho!" Now that both men had prepared their most powerful attacks, they released them against each other, generating a massive shock wave and sending both of them flying.
