Captain Kurotsuchi was walking down one of the halls of the DRD facility with Nemu right behind him. "Nemu, how are the experiments holding up? Have there been any issues with containment?" he asked looking back at her.

"No, Master Mayuri, the clones seem to be stable and have shown signs of neural activity but motor control is restricted to prevent complications" she said with both of her hands clasped together behind her back as she followed her creator.

"It is very unfortunate that central 46 wouldn't provide me with more funding for this project, but after what happened with Hikari Okami, we need to be ready" he smiled as he opened a large double door into a room with ten tanks with liquid and people inside of them. Inside each of the tanks were copies of the visords plus Ichigo and Hikari. All of the copies were white and black in color, resembling an inner hollow except wearing only underwear which was solid white as well as breathing masks over each one's face.

"What if they find out about these experiments?" Nemu questioned.

"Nonsense, there is no way that could happen, and besides, if they did get out we would have to kill them" he smiled. The last two words in his sentence echoed through Ichigo's clone's ears. His eyes shot open and revealed black and yellow eyes which seemed to pierce ones very soul. Machines began to beep loudly and department members began to panic as Ichigo's clone ripped the mask from his face and let out a scream that created large bubbles in the liquid filled tank.

"Subject 2 is loose!" one of the workers said as Mayuri just sighed and drew his sword from its sheath and watched as the clones punched his way out of the tank. The glass shattered and the Ichigo clone fell to the floor and started coughing the tank's liquid from his throat.

"My my, it seems that you heard me and broke your coma like state, very impressive" he chuckled as the clone stood up slowly and looked at him with eyes filled with both fear and anger. "I'm afraid I have to kill you now, and if I'm careful I might have enough of you left to dissect!" he said lunging at him with his sword, only to have it stopped. By a large white, clever like sword in the clone's hand. "So you manifested a Zanpakuto from nothing, and it looked like a white version of Ichigo Kurosaki's" he said in an impressed tone.

"I-chi-go" the clone muttered as it involuntarily fired an extremely powerful burst of spirit energy, sending Kurotsuchi flying out of the building through several stone walls. The clone grabbed its own face and began to scream as if it were in pain until he removed his hand and looked up at the ceiling. "Ichigo Kurosaki" the clone said as he grabbed the clothes off of a nearby male soul reaper and put them on. The colors on the robes reversed as they made contact with the clone's skin, as the white turned to black and the black turned to white until it was the spitting image of Ichigo's inner hollow.

"That was unexpected" Captain Kurotsuchi said as he walked back into the room covered in dust and bruises. "I never expected copies to possess this power" he said as he spat out a bit of blood. "It's a good thing that you woke up and not Hikari's clone, or I might not be here right now" he laughed. The clone maintained a straight face and turned to see Hikari's clone in the tank. His skin was pale white and his hair was black instead of blonde.

"Hikari Okami" the clone said as he walked over to the tank and put his hand on the glass.

"So you can speak clearly now?" Kurotsuchi said as he held his sword at an odd angle. "Good, this way I can hear you beg for mercy while I cut you up into little pieces!" he said with a sinister smile. "Crawl out, Ashisogi Jizō" he said as he became engulfed in a purple gas as his sword turned into its golden colored shikai state.

"You talk too much" the clone said as it swung it's sword once, slashing Mayuri's arm off and causing blood to splatter everywhere.

"Damn…you" he said as he pulled out a little vial filled with a glowing liquid, only to have it shatter in his hand.

"Don't try to fight me anymore, you are too weak" the clone said as he smashed open the other tanks, causing the clones to fall out and slowly rise to their feet.

"Weak" they all said in unison.

"How dare you! Nemu get the…" he stopped talking when he looked to see her buried under a pile of rubble. "You useless girl!" he said as fell down to one knee. The clones all picked up clothes from unconscious or dead soul reapers and put them on with the same affects that Ichigo's clone had, turning all the colors too their opposites.

"Hikari, open a path out of here" Ichigo's clone said in a calm voice as Hikari's clone just crossed his arms with his sword on his hip.

"Damn, I was hoping to stay and fight some more" he growled as he snapped his fingers, opening the Garganta.

"I-I don't l-like this" Hyori's clone said with a nervous look on her face and a patch of black hair hanging over her eye.

"Just shut up and get moving you little brat!" Hikari's clone yelled causing her to tear up a bit as she walked into the Garganta.

"You need to treat women with more respect Hikari" Lisa's clone said fixing her glasses that she picked off of a soul reaper.

"None of this matters, I hate all of you" Rose's clone growled as he went next into the Garganta followed by the rest as Hikari closed the gate.

"All of you be quiet and follow me" Ichigo's clone said in a calm yet cold voice as he walked with his large sword on his shoulder.
