Okay so first..
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Bleach or Legendary.
This fic is based off a game I played on the Xbox 360 recently. So now, I am twisting around the plot to fit fiction standards.
Seems interesting and I had fun writing this story. c:
For those of you that have read Hollow Hearted, Jigsaw is in here, my OC, just using the name Hallo instead. (Short for Halloween, her last name.)
Enjoy!
Time. That was all he needed, yet he couldn't get it. Ichigo Kurosaki had always been one to waste time fooling around with the small things. Being overly too careful, and just plain paranoid. He had a reason this time, yes, he was breaking into the F.B.I.'s most secret place on the earth where they kept every dirty little secret they owned. Every mistake, alien, and the likes. It was like a field day in here.
Ichigo worked for a secret orginization made up of only he and one other person. Her name was Hallo or so she says. She was a super intellegent young lady convicted of terrorism against her country more than once, but was more than happy to get money doing jobs that were not for normal people. But, she did not like to get her hands dirty. She didn't lack strength, it was just..well, she was paranoid too. Paranoid schizo as a matter of fact.
She had hired Ichigo to do a more than apparent suicide job. He was to steal Pandora's Box from a maximum security facility that was inhabited by the F.B.I. They kept their secrets there, but he was only after the one item. The sneeky secret police eventually found out of his plan, but failed to stop him since he was now standing right in front of the prized artifact.
The box glowed with a purple aura. The decorations were made of gold and jade, quite obviously by the color. Ichigo took in the beauty of it before noticing a slot on the front. It would seem like a keyhole maybe but there was no..key indention if that made sense. In curiosity, the orange haired boy ran his hand across the hole, and was surprised so much by the sudden outburst he didn't quite feel the pain yet.
A sharp dagger made of gold emerged from the hole and stabbed him right in the hand. Ichigo cried out in agony and held his hand as it bled onto the floor. The dagger had retracted back into the black depths of the box, and then opened. Thats when all hell broke loose.
The atmosphere seemed to lift a bit, and then there was a surge of energy that swepped through him and he presumed the rest of the building. It was the same purple as the aura, and it had made almost a smaller tornado in the room he and the box occupied. He saw glimpses of light rush out of Pandora's Box and continue to do so, and then he noticed how his hand stopped hurting.
He looked down to find that the wound closed up, but there was a circle of some sort with other markings on his hand where the dagger had made its swift attack. He held it out, suddenly ignoring all the swirling about in the room, and gasped as a flurry of colors rushed into that hand. He felt..replenished and full of energy at this. How strange. What was that light?
Ichigo's thoughts were interuppted when the floor began to crack and a red light emitted from said cracks. They were appearing around the room at an alarming rate, and so he figured it was time to high tail it out of there. He had turned to go through the door from which he came, but found that it had been locked once Pandora's Box had started to act up. He turned and saw a flight of stairs next to the door leading up.
He wasted no time in running up said stairs, and almost stumbled when the cement cracked beneath him and broke away to fall onto the floor. Ichigo ran faster and eventually went through the door and closed it shut. When he had recollected himself, he sighed but only for a moment since the red cracks followed him through the door. He began running again.
He could see Police along the way but paid no attention as they were being sent down into a fiery doom below where the red cracks have made a path. Wait, what? Had he just seen that? Ichigo just saw a HUGE bird like creature smash through a wall and grab an officer in his beak before departing. There was a trail of blood for proof. Ichigo stopped and breathed out. What was happening?
Suddenly, he felt the precense of something behind him. It didn't feel human, and after seeing a mythological creature, he would assume that sounds reasonable. Ichigo spun around to be introduced to a strange sight. A very..VERY lithe looking man who looked like he wore latex was standing there.
The latex or whatever was a light gray and he had black breaks in the gray every now and then. Wait, he understood now. The gray acted like plates. You know, like shells? The feet of this man was anything but human, so he compared them to a feral felines feet. Same goes for his hands, well, paws. The only thing that looked human was his face. He wore what appeared to be a teal makeup of some sort going from the corner of his eyes to his..feline ears. They were also teal. His eyes, a sea blue like that of the Florida shores. His hair was a lighter shade and trailed down his back in length. He had a tail that started from his upper back and was more free from there. Not fuzzy or anything, same as the plates. He also had a skull piece of some sort on his forehead, making blue bangs fall over it somewhat.
The cat-man sneered at Ichigo, and waved a paw. "Might want to stop staring and get with the program." he pointed a claw at the scene in front of them.
The building was harboring more red cracks and was beginning to crumble away as police and guards were sprawled out on the floor, dead. Blood was everywhere and claw marks as well. A thought hit him, and he turned back to the cat who happened to be staring at Ichigo with a pleased expression.
"Did you kill those people?"
"Of course not. I have been with you since you opened Pandora's Box." he said this as if Ichigo should have known.
The human boy scoffed and propelled himself forward. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw the cat man sort of go down on his fours and launch himself forward behind Ichigo. When he actually looked, the man was really just leaning his body very forward, almost to the ground, and moved his legs fast underneath him. No wonder he was a cat.
When they got out onto the streets was when the problems made themselves clear. Griffons, the birds with the lion like body, were flying through the air dominating the sky by taking down military helicopters and other vehicles. Ichigo saw a man dart in front of him, but only to be picked up by a Griffon in the end. Blood followed.
"Ichigo! Ichigo! Come in Ichigo!" it was Hallo.
"Yes, I'm here." he held onto the earpiece.
"Do you see the SHIT that is happening?!" she sounded..amused.
"Yes. Where are you?"
"Just down the street your on, but hurry the hell up. People are getting killed left and right, so don't get snatched up." he heard a buzz and knew she went offline.
Ichigo turned and saw that the cat man was still following. He had his arms crossed and was gazing at the sky, whistling. Since when do monsters whistle? When he noticed Ichigo was watching, he waved his paw at him and pointed behind Ichigo. He turned and saw a Griffon holding out its talons for him. He dodged to the left, and ran straight into a totaled taxi. He was pinned.
The Griffon had landed and was screeching at him, so he pulled out his pistol and started to lay waste to the bird. He assumed the enormous size was enough protection from mere pistol bullets, and made a reason as to why they were having no effect. Ichigo held up his hand, the wounded one, as a shield and cried out when a light emitted from said hand.
The bird backed up in confusion and seemingly pain. It faltered for a minute before lifting into the air and flying off. Ichigo looked to his hand confusedly before the cat walked up and looked at Ichigo's hand with an admiring, but knowing expression. He grabbed the boy's palm and inspected it before giving it back to its owner.
"Nifty trick you got there." he concluded.
"Who are you?" Ichigo managed to choke out.
"Now is not the time. Go find that partner of yours." the man lowered his paws and flexed them, causing deadly claws to extend.
Ichigo nodded and headed out once more. After a bit of evading Griffons, he could see far away from the upturned pavement which was risen at unatural angles and saw a surge of pinkish energy coming his way and it rose everything off the ground as it traveled. Ichigo yelped, and then felt arms around his. Cold, cold arms.. And then the energy happened.
It felt like every one of his insides was rising. He felt his feet rise off the ground, but not quite as violently as everything else. Ichigo's brown eyes looked up and he saw the cat man who had been following him. He had his eyes closed and ears flattened, and as quick as it had came the energy surge was over and they were both back on the ground. The man let his arms open and Ichigo backed up slowly.
"What was that?" he pretty much already knew.
"An energy surge from Pandora's Box. Did you honestly think nothing would happen if you opened it?" the mans response made him sound like an idiot.
Ichigo didn't answer and continued to run like before, only this time he was faced with a new problem. He watched a helicopter emerge with different guns attatched in random places and were shooting at Griffons stop just in front of him. The plane didn't look normal, and he concluded it was not of any known U.S. weaponry. Out came soldiers also wearing unknown uniforms.
"There's Kurosaki! Get him!"
What? Did those soldiers just say his name? He felt a gunshot hit the air, and then felt the air of a hand darting in front of his face. He looked up to see a clenched paw, which opened soon after and dropped pieces of metal. Ichigo looked to the man again who has seemed to save him more than once, and nodded his thanks. The two quickly darted for cover.
"Ichigo! You there?" it was Hallo again.
"Yes."
"Those people that just attacked you are the Black Order. They are a unknown form of military at the moment. Their leader is unconfirmed as well, but they are out to kill you. Be careful."
"Got it."
He heard the buzz, which signaled she signed offline again. He turned to the man, who looked at him with cerulean eyes, and then pushed through the building and got so deep eventually they were at an old subway station. Underground. When did they get underground? Must have been when they were running away. He heard a shout and quickly approached the form. It was Hallo.
She wore an off black jacket with a red shirt barely concealing her breasts. She had a red swirl tattoo on her left cheek and eyes to match. Her hair was done in the style most young teenagers would have, and a red streak ran through her bangs, not matching the natural brown at all.
"We got a message from Aizen." she ran back into the control room, where many buttons and small televisions were. One clicked on to show the person who paid them for the job in the first place.
"Hello, Mrs. Hallo and Mr. Kurosaki." Ichigo noticed the cat man had dissapeared. "I assume you have opened the box, yes?"
"BULLSHIT!" Hallo slammed down her fists. "You knew this would happen, didn't you? PEOPLE ARE DEAD BECAUSE OF THIS!"
"It was just an accident..done by you two."
Both froze. "What?"
"Yes. I was assuming Kurosaki would have died upon opening, and we were going to get you later Hallo. You are useless to us now. All we need is Pandora's Box now and everything will become clear. Oh, but you both won't be around to see it happen."
"See what?" Hallo growled.
"I don't think I have the time to explain. Seems like you have company.."
As soon as he was done, the sound of glass shattering was heard and Ichigo peered out to see humans dropping in from above wearing the Black Order outfit. Hallo narrowed her eyes in realization and Ichigo snarled. He should have known better than to trust that shady bastard.
"Hey."
Both bodies turned to the open door. There stood the cat man. "Looks like you got a problem."
"What the hell is that?" Hallo pointed.
"Honestly, I don't know." Ichigo shrugged.
The cat mock saluted and smiled like a maniac. "The name is Grimmjow Jaggerjack. Your new bestfriend."
Well, how you like it? Review and tell me. c:
If you do not know what Pandora's Box is, it is basically a box full of twisted shit. I heard someone refer to it as Hell's Gate if that makes any sense.
Things I added to Legendary: Grimmjow meeting Ichigo. In the game, the main guy had no one but his female partner.
REVIEW.
