Yes I actually plan to finish this one. Hopefully it will be as popular as my other Bleach one, even if that one was cringy and looked like garbage.

It was just a regular day. He had woken up early just like any other day. He scuffled with his family during breakfast and headed out towards his Karate class. Not even his childhood friend could get him this day. He was finally starting to get better and better at it. The session had ended and he returned home.

She wanted to go on a walk with him the moment the two returned home. She did not want to awake her other children, as they rarely slept during the day. He agreed and changed into a heavier style of clothing. Winter was approaching, so a jacket was always required to leave.

The two had an enjoyable walk all around the outskirts of town. They even trailed the nearby rural woodlands which led to the farmlands outside of the city. He had been wandering off into his own direction but she didn't seem to mind.

It had caught his attention, and the day had shifted from great to unreal.

He was scared, lonely, and worried. Never before has he experienced such a troubling nightmare as bad as this one. His eyes were tightly closed and his face was buried deep into the ground. His arms shielded his head as tears strolled down into his face. Words were not to be said, this was a true hell which had his heart beating at a tremendous rate. He could hear the cries of his mother constantly whispering his name, telling him it will be okay. He had never heard the words "it will be okay" as many times as he did now.

It was his mother, who lay on top of him. She protected him from this large, carnivorous creature. Never before has he seen such a beast, not even in the few scary movies he had watched.

It all felt too real, but it was confusing.

He was only 8 years old.

It took a long time for the yelling had stopped from both sides. He just wanted it to be quiet.

It wasn't his fault. Ichigo just thought someone was going to fall into the river. It was only natural that he had wished to help the young girl. Who would have thought that it was a trap? That what he had been trying to do would end up being a murderous illusion. The moment Ichigo had arrived his mother had been yelling, as even she knew about the oblivious trap.

Masaki tried to escape, but it was a strong a Hollow. Much stronger than originally anticipated. She had believed that nothing could come against her since she longer possessed any attractive reiryoku. The mother had lost all of her powers long ago but was still able to preserve her life. And it was here in the middle of the day, that she believed her end had come. She only prayed that her body would be the last shield she would need to keep her beloved son alive. Death had always been on her mind and it always her children who she made sure would make it out.

But it was a new presence which had alarmed her further.

She still was still alive when the Hollow made a agonizing scream. Its body had disappeared but the danger grew even larger. She knew what had appeared above her, but refused to turn around. It was too difficult to comprehend or believe.

"To think such a device had been able to block your blood from being tracked... you have promise. Yet, something must have happened to you."

Masaki Kurosaki kept her son hidden but slowly turned her head around. Every Quincy in its existence knew what type of man was above her. "Your life will benefit me...as you no longer seem to care about being a Quincy, I will gladly take more than whatever power you may possess." She froze and watched as a yellow light lifted her into the air. The orange-haired woman was paralyzed as she could literally feel the light consuming her life energy and transferring it to the man. This power had been used on her before, but somehow she was able to survive it.

The body collapsed onto the ground in the same place it had been risen from.

Yhwach stood for a moment as the body of his life-less victim fell onto the grass. The man had a irritation for Quincy who lost their powers or even refused to fight. But the strangest thing is how Masaki is a pure-Quincy who was about to die from a simple Hollow. However, his eyes soon lowered as something had been moving the body from beneath. The Quincy King lifted the body through reishi and stood in confusion. A small orange haired boy had his eyes shut and pretended to be idle but couldn't stop the shaking of fear.

"Gemischt..." he uttered with distaste. It only took a glance for him to tell what type of person was before him. That was the power of the original Quincy. Being able to determine who was truly a real, or a mixed-breed which was disgusting in his eyes.

Yhwach descended down and removed the body from the area.

"Child, open your eyes." The demand was absolute.

Little Ichigo could not entirely comprehend what was happening before him. He already knows his mother is unconscious, but this could fit another nightmare setting. The child finally opened his eyes and was relieved to know that there was still light outside. The man who was looking down upon him wasn't nearly as terrifying as the beast he had seen earlier. But there was something off with this man. His had multiple pupils in his eyes which seemed to be looking in every direction.

"You're spirit is unique… and you're reiryaku was already being revealed. That is how you we were able to see that Hollow."

The child was struggling to breathe, as if a massive amount of pressure was crushing his chest. "Mo...mons..ter..." he mumbled. The man assume he was referring to the beast which had nearly scared him to death.

"That 'monster' is dead, as the same for the person who lies behind you." Yhwach kept his eyes locked onto the child's soul. The King was a very curious individual. He had always been interested in seeing into people.

'Your future...I can see it...but you have so many options. So many paths, I have never seen another person with this many. I see a man with a regular life, a powerful tools used by others...or a leader. Perhaps, coming here was far better than I had anticipated.'

The boy couldn't believe his eyes as he saw the massive amounts of blood which streamed down the small hill. He looked at his hands and even saw some stained onto him. Although relieved that the Hollow is dead, his mind is too fragile to comprehend such a close death. The word 'death', isn't even that fairly known in his mind. As death had never occurred to him in his small life. His mother was gone, and he didn't know how to handle it. Fear had overcome his normal sense of emotion and reason. He was just too young see the reality in what had been going on. Things were going smoothly just a few moments ago, and now the complete opposite had just erased everything.

"You cannot give your powers, but you have a sense of uniqueness. You aren't designated to be with one. You have promise and strong latent ability, just like me. I can see you becoming the biggest enemy, or the biggest ally I have ever come to known. Do not let this death decide how you determine your life. For, this death will only make you stronger. But as unfortunate to you as it is, this came too early in your young life. I shall remove this time from you, and in a later stage, I will use it to my own advantage to make you a stronger person."

"My son, do you understand what I am saying?" he asked.

Juhabach has met non-experienced children before. Yet, this one was too...accustomed to a different style of life to even know what he truly is. "You are special. And you are too valuable to be left here. Come...you will no longer be afraid of such creatures."

White light consumed Ichigo's vision and he fell back onto to the grass. His eyes flutter open and he looks at Yhwach one last time.

"We must leave before they soon detect my power. I've overstayed my welcome, but I've seen what you are, and you will be a major stepping stone for peace."

"What is your name?"

"Ichigo..." he mumbled. Even if the man was a stranger, Ichigo had felt as if he has seen him before. He didn't get the feeling of worry, but rather comfort. Everything around him was disappearing before his eyes. Ichigo can no longer even remember where he is at. His mind has been focused to one thing, and that was the words which this man had given him just moments ago.

"We will be going home, Ichigo. Live in the landscape and you will see it for yourself. Connect with others, as I will not always be at your side."

The grass felt the same. Brown eyes shoot open but soon were forced back closed as a bright light had blinded the child. He stands back up and looks in his surroundings. The place was similar to where he was just prior to waking up. A small patch of field surrounded by woodlands. However this time, there was no river or body nearby.

Ichigo continued to walk through the dense. He was lost and confused, the man who he had met just before this was no longer with him. He said something among the lines of coming to see him when he was ready. This helped Ichigo come to develop his own style when he is older. Yhwach was convinced the child could produce his own results without failure. The Emperor needed much rest as leaving his world only caused pain and loss of power. However, sometimes it was essential to leave in order to seek out a better selection for new blood in his ranks. Yhwach now believed he had spent his time wisely in that particular part of the world as he stole the lives of two Quincy that day in order to extend and support his own.

The child had been in woods before, but usually accompanied by his now deceased mother. The thought of that was no longer on his mind because of it no longer being recalled in his memories. Yhwach had been sure to clear out the trauma from this early on, as if he did not, Ichigo would develop a certain fear for confronting things on his own.

The Quincy King only wished best for his race, even if it meant sacrificing them for his own goals. He took the term "all for one, and one for all" into another direction. Juhabach has raised children his entire life, as he believed they were all his children since they all carried his own blood. He never once considered it kidnapping, or extortion of power, as all Quincy were his own.

Their power was his, their lives were his, and there servitude into fighting for his goals was the ultimate belief he had possessed.

Ichigo stood behind a tree and scoured the area around him before locking onto a figure that was oddly punching and kicking multiple trees in the forest. The figure looked particularly furious and outright uncontrollable. He had fluffy red hair and green eyes. His attire consisted of sleeve-less dark blue shirt with green pants and black boots.

"Heilig Pfeil! He yelled. Arrows slammed into the trees, causing them to fall down one by one. He leaped around, kicking and punching them until they collapsed. The boy was around 14 years old, and despite his age, looked well experienced and strong. The focus was drifting in and out, as if something was constantly bugging him.

'How can he just do that?'

'How can after everything he can just walk a away with no sign of anything ever fucking happening!'

'I'll fucking get him. I'll fucking get the both of them!'

'Why Jugo?'

'That was our family, and you betrayed them!'

'How can you be such a coward!?'

'That was your chance! Your only chance to slit his throat!'

'We've been together forever! How can you betray me like that...'

'My weak friend who I would've protected from that monster!'

'How long has it been? How long has it been since you left, leaving me for dead back there? I still haven't gotten over it. And I never will. For as long as I live I will remember you and him! I will never forget.'

The thoughts off Bazz-B had never left his mind. The most humiliating day of his life will always be scarred into his fighting spirit as a reminder to always remember. To continue on with his original goal, and to never succumb to the blindness of false loyalty with power. The boy had just gotten done smashing a few trees and firing a few more arrows. The tumble of them was too boring at this point. He had been trying to use advanced techniques but not many targets to actually use them. The red-haired child notices something off about when a sudden tree collapses. It revealed a younger kid who was watching Bazz. The kid had fuzzy orange hair like his and was wearing a large subtle white coat. He just stared at him like a maniac, it was out of the ordinary.

'The fuck? How long was here there?'

"Get the hell out of here kid! If you die because of some fuckin' tree I'll be in deep shit!"

…

"...How'd you do that!?" proclaimed the child with a fascinated expression on his face.

Bazz scoffed, "Kid...f off, alright? I'm trying to work on something."

"...What are you trying to do?"

"I was going to kill someone...BUT THEN THE ASSHOLE WHO WAS SUPPOSED TO HELP ME LEFT ME FOR HIS SIDE!" Ichigo nearly flinched due to the change of tone. He's never really heard someone yell so loudly about something he has no understanding of. "The guy is a fucking monster, and we knew it! Yet, the...!" he couldn't finish his sentence. Bazz knew he was going crazy the moment he realized he was yelling his problems at someone who was around half his age.

"…Monsters…." proclaimed the smaller child. He could recall seeing something along the lines of a described, "monster" but the remembrance could not click.

"Yea, well no shit. No one likes monsters. How the hell did you even get in that forest? Not many people make it fucking bad alive from there."

"Yha...ch..."

Ichigo had only heard the name once. And it was such a strange name that its pronunciation wasn't entirely there.

"Was that English I just heard?"

"His name was...Yhwach...he said this was home..." he mumbled.

Bazz eyes jumped wide, "Bach!? He's still around? I haven't heard anything of that fucker in years! Where was he? I'll beat his ass!"

"I don't know...he said he'd come see me when I was ready." Bazz spat in annoyance. This kid didn't really seem to be all too bright in his eyes. He even looked too innocent to be an actual Quincy. But this part of the world is only fit for such type of people. He turned his head around and began walking towards a small dirt road. Ichigo didn't have anyone else, so it was only natural that he followed him. His age also made Ichigo feel a bit safer. The other Quincy wasn't exactly relatable in age compared to the orange-haired child.

"Can I come with you?"

The question surprised him. Sure, being alone wasn't fun, especially to what had happened with his past partner. But being around He stared into his the innocent eyes and sighed. "No way kid. You're too...fruity. But I guess that's just a common thing around here..." he trailed off and began the thought of having another subordinate at his side. It did make things a lot easier and a lot less lonely. Even if his goal was to kill, it was always fun to get into troubling situations with a comrade.

"...Fine. But let me lay some ground rules."

Ichigos eyes lit up and eagerly smiled.

"First rule...NO BETRAYING THE LEADER! I don't care what happens, but being a traitor is unforgivable and punishable by death!"

He nodded.

"Second rule...don't be a fucking drag! Keep up with me in strength and we won't have a problem, got it!?"

He nodded again.

"I don't really like rules so that's all that really matters. They call me King Bazz. But since you're my first real subordinate, you can just call me Bazz! Got it!?"

He nodded once more.

"Well, what's your name boy speak!?"

"Ichigo!" he yelled profoundly.

Bazz grinned and fizzled with his hair. "That's what I like to fuckin' hear! No bullshitting. You and I will be at the top Ichigo!"

It had been a month since Ichigo had been traveling with Bazz-B. The two would often visit small villages and asked for any odd jobs. Hunting was the biggest factor and the two had become proficient had it. The two were rumored to be a "fire duo" as they both had colored hair resembling the intense flames which had once ignited land before them. Despite posing a somewhat threat, they were treated as weaklings by the elders. Even if Bazz would threaten to fight them they would scoff and call in the village guard. Ichigo himself has been eager to learn from Bazz. The older Quincy had showed him how to make an average bow and Ichigo was ecstatic. The bow itself was nothing special. But it was the progress which had been made which surprised Bazz.

The two had become familiar with traversing the huge forests which tended to be thicker than fog itself.

They had been doing this since more animals resided deep within.

"Alright...you see that little shit standing there?" Buzz whispered. Ichigo closed his left eye and nodded. He pull backed the string and aimed lower. The two kept their eyes locked onto an idle deer which was peacefully strolling around a thin river bank. Deer were very cautious animals and kept their distance from anything that breathed. "Deer is like fuckin' gold in this part. Just aim for the neck."

Ichigo blocked out all sound and remained still. He was kneeling and turned his bow into a diagonal formation. Unlike Bazz, Ichigo had a regular styled bow. While the older Quincy wielded a crossbow. And the younger Quincy seemed to be more comfortable firing from a longer distance rather than a more confrontational shot. The arrow was released, and it traveled at high speeds. Unfortunately, the deer had raised its head just as the arrow was approaching. The sound of an oncoming object startled the animal and caused it to suddenly go amok.

"Get that fucker!" Bazz roared. He pulled his crossbow and began shooting multiple holy arrows. The deer rushed through the forest as it no knew its life was in danger. Buzz used his quick speed to try and chase the animal but the forest confused him. He continuously cursed himself as his prey was escaping. Bazz then began running at speeds that were comparable to that of the animals. The red-haired Quincy was too focused on the sight of the deer and failed to see what remained in front of him. The older boy slammed himself into a large branch and collapsed onto the ground.

God damn it...

We really needed that...

Bazz flinched as a massive object whiffed right above his head. The Quincy widened his eyes as the object ripped through the forest, demolishing everything in its path. Trees, bushes, small rocks, nothing stood a chance against it. It had a strange black aura trailing it as it descended further down into the thick woods. The red haired teen rushed up and began running forward. He soon left the woods and entered a plain field.

"Ichigo! What was that!?" he yelled in excitement. Bazz observed the corpse of the deer who had an arrow stuck within its neck. A clean blind shot. "Good fucking shit!"

Ichigo rushed behind his companion and stared in awe. "Wow Bazz!"

"That was all you." he replied.

The orange-haired child flinched in surprise. "Heh? I just got afraid when you yelled and I shot!"

Bazz laughed and grabbed the deer by its back legs. "Who cares, let's go to town with this shit!" Ichigo smiled and grabbed the other. Bazz was a lot stronger than he appeared and pretty much took the entire wait. Otherwise Ichigo wouldn't have been able to move the animal an inch.

This was no average town. To be more specific, it was a large city with an attracting population and a hub for trade. It was a tight community which kept its values on order and free market. Ichigo was amazed to see a variety of shops which he had peeked his young interests into. They held interesting clothes, weapons and even odd props. Food was the only item which he seemed to lack during their walk through the city. Urban zones were extremely rare and feared upon by the rest of the world. This combination of wealth and people created power. Power on this scale was able to rule all of the rural villages which didn't even come close to standing a chance. However, it didn't just pose a threat to small villages. Many paranoid figures throughout the land had kept wary eyes on it. A symbol of strength is a symbol of fear.

Bazz grinned from the jealous eyes which never left their prey. People felt fear when they left the safe walls from the city which rose to the sky. So gathering supplies outside of the area was seen as valuable merchandise.

This had been a place for children to grow up. There were boys and girls of all ages who were taught how to live in this world. There was schooling, housing, and places for people to live life at the best. But Bazz-B thought it was just a society trying to keep him down. He never liked the rules of following laws and being kind to one another. Growing up fighting was what he was used to. And seeing so many other people his age do the exact opposite made him feel at odds with himself. It was as if many of them were against him in his own way.

"You see all these girls here, Ichigo? There all mine because I'm the King."

Ichigo didn't seem to mind as Bazz gave a perverted grin and awed like a madman. It was dangerous to be so interested in a Quincy girl. For whatever reason, a lot of them tend to be very out of the ordinary compared to human or Shinigami females. Even Hollows have more decency at times. But nothing scared the red-haired Quincy. Not even the tyrannical King led Bazz to shiver in fear.

"But you can have the weird ones."

Ichigo smiled, "Thanks Bazz." he said happily.

The two drag the beast ton open food kiosk and lift the prize onto the counter. The butcher is impressed and offers Bazz a deal in which even he couldn't complain. They split the profits but Bazz of course makes sure to hold onto the money as Ichigo had no idea what to do with it. They had normally lived off the land, but if they were able to score such an impressive catch they would often sell it. Clothes, rich food and shelter is what they mainly spent on. Weapons had no value to them since their own weapons usually eclipsed to hand-made ones.

"Aww, how cute!"

Ichigo turned around and stared at a blank white shirt. He soon stepped back and stared up at figure. She was slim, and around just a few years older than Bazz. She had long black hair and towered over him. But the most noticeable feature which had caught his eyes was not her body or hair length. She had large dark-blue eyes which just lit everything up. The smile on her face added a sense of familiar comfort in which Ichigo hadn't seen in what felt like a long time. Ichigo felt a tug on his shirt and was forced a bit back.

It was the uniform which had caught the attention of Bazz-B. It was a very familiar styled white-military uniform. Compared ones Bazz has seen in the past, it was very basic. "Step back, witch." The red-haired Quincy spat with lowered eyes. 'What a creepy fuck...her aura is hollow-level...' he said to himself.

The female Quincy squinted her eyes and darted her attention towards Bazz, "And who the hell do you think you are?" she replied in a creepily low tone. The voice startled the younger Quincy into him cursing at her. He stepped back and calmed himself. Violence in the city was not tolerated. Anyone caught starting the altercation would be seen as the aggressor.

He stepped back and let Ichigo have his little moment with the girl. Bazz turned around and started noticing a strange pattern all around the marketplace. 'Wait, they are fucking everywhere...' he uttered to himself. His eyes begin wondering around as many white-uniformed figures made an approach all over the city. The city had no ban when it came to certain factions, and Bazz had a pretty accurate guess on whose army this belonged to. The question is why all of them were here. Never before has he seen so many of them in one place. The size was an astonishing shock to him, and the people who weren't a part of it. It had been a long time since an army this large has been present.

But one member had caught his attention. One Quincy male with a feminine styled face changed the entire scenery. Bazz quickly discarded any reasonable thought he previously had. The "man" had been headed towards the exit of the massive town and seemed to be leaving while the rest of his comrades seem to be idle. A ferocious smirk formed on his face. He looked towards Ichigo who seemed to be infatuated with the female solider. Without hesitation, he grabs Ichigo by the shirt and drags him away.

"Bye, bye~!" the girl said. Ichigo waved back and pulled himself from Bazz who was too focused on the figure ahead of them. He didn't bother asking as an answer would only annoy his friend even further. The two eventually left the city and began cautiously following the man who was headed far out into the woods. The red-haired Quincy made absolutely sure not to reveal themselves. He wanted to get as close as possible, without the ability of getting the attention of the other soldiers.

Bazz and Ichigo crept through the forest like snakes. Not one sound was made during their quick travels as they planned to stalk the man known as Hubert. The Vandenreich Vice-Captain was in no hurry. In fact it feels as if he was expecting something to happen behind him. Bazz checked around the permitted to see if they were being followed into a trap, but no one came. He looked over to Ichigo and did a quick nod. His orange haired friend nodded back and took small steps forward. Hubert was approaching a nearby set up camp. The camp was fairly large, but he was the only one present. White tents along with ashy remains of fire woods.

The camp was placed on the base of a mountain which shielded the sun and created a dark, captive environment which was well hidden behind the trees. Ichigo and Bazz were a fair distance away to ensure that he was alone and was not approaching another regiment of Quincy. The red-haired Quincy smirked and pulled an item from his pocket.

A small coin-shaped disk was tightly gripped into his palm. The 14 year-old appeared from the woods and launched the small item as far as he could. It was so small and insignificant that no one could hear it collapsing and breaking onto the ground. 'You're so fucking dead!' Bazz said to himself. Ichigo didn't know how Hubert and his friend knew each other, but could make an obvious assumption to say it wasn't a positive relationship.

Little Ichigo didn't exactly know what Bazz had just done. From the look of his face he seemed to be excited and eccentric. "Pssh...Bazz...what was that?" the younger child ask quietly.

"Ssshhhut the fuck up..." he whispered back. Ichigo rested on one leg and positioned his bow. He was able to purchase some more unique arrows in town despite Bazz protesting.

And then it hit.

Hubert had arrived at the camp and was surprised to see the sudden change of weather. It was normally sunny in this world, but out of nowhere dark clouds filled the sky above them. The atmosphere became cold and the sky turned black. A black rip ringed through the ears of the three Quincy who all widened their eyes in either shock or eagerness. Gillian-Class Hollow erupted through the garganta and descended on towards the ground. Hubert didn't hesitate to draw his sword and begin slicing the weaker class Hollow to nothing.

Meanwhile, Ichigo and Bazz had planned to observe and strike when Hubert was occupied. However, they hadn't planned to believe Hubert could fight out the entire mass of the small Hollow army which seemed to never stopped striking.

*ROAAAAAW*

The two Quincy flinched in shock as a menacing growl rings in their ears. Ichigo quickly fled backwards but soon tripped on a root which caused him to be knocked off his feet. The Hollow was not a Gillian-Class, it was perhaps a freshly evolved one into a weaker Adjuchas. It had a skull-like mask with portraying sharp teeth and a ferocious grin. They didn't need to hear it in order to know it was filled with hunger.

The menacing claws were slashed downwards towards the defenseless Ichigo who could only put his own arms in an attempt to shield himself. The orange-haired Quincy felt a tug on the back of his shirt and was lifted from his position and thrown far back. He felt liquid portray down his arms and inched in pain. But his eyes locked onto a strange purple liquid which was being mixed with his blood. He could put two together and guess that the Hollow had some strange poisonous power. Bazz pulled up his crossbow and launched multiple arrows into the Hollow who was furious that its meal had been taken. It was able to make one last scream before vanishing into the atmosphere. He saw the liquid Ichigo was observing and lowered his eyes, 'Shit...' he said to himself.

"C'mon, let's fuck him up!"

Ichigo nodded and stood back up. The two got back into position and made sure to keep a safer distance. They were taken completely off guard by the Hollow and if it wasn't for Bazz and his quick thinking Ichigo would be dead. Just a mere scratch was able to cause Ichigo to begin shaking. But he knew that it wasn't the time to be complaining. This was his first real battle, and he had been eager to do it right.

Hubert didn't care for such weak beings. He was the Vice-Captain of the Sternritter and had been used to battling the strongest fighters of the Soul Society. The two observed the older man and noticed how strange his power was.

The Vice-Captain never pulled out a bow. He had enjoyed using a sword for his preferred fighting weapon. Too the Quincy name, it was contradictory to use a sword. Especially when they were planning a war with the Shinigami. However, it was not blasphemy. People just had different preference towards fighting. It didn't take long until the military figure was able to deal with the Hollow which had spawned out of the Garganta. He turned towards the forest, "You know, you could have the fight of your weak life if you had just remained in the city. Now, Yhwach isn't here to protect you kid."

Bazz snapped his eyes wide open and forced a smile. He sprung out of the forest with his arms open. "What a coincidence, it's just a shame Yhwach isn't hear to die with you!" The arrogance on both sides was alarming. Sure Hubert had the upper hand, but Bazz has already proven he is not afraid to do the most daring options.

Hubert smirked, "I should've brought that other kid. It would be amusing watching you two kill each other." The blade was drawn and it was pointed towards the younger Quincy.

He charged reishi into his bow, "That kid...you mean...that KID WHO YOU SERVE FOR!?" Bazz roared his comment before leaping towards Hubert and shocking speeds. The Vice-Captain was forced to defend as the red-haired Quincy slammed his bow onto him as if it were a melee weapon. The comments stung into Huberts ego and pissed him off.

A point-blank arrow was shot but the Vandenreich man dashed away. The future Sternritter was alarmed by the speed and quickly flipped his position. He began shooting more arrows but Hubert skillfully dodged them. Bazz was barely able to escape a clean decapitation by just moments flipping his head back. Hubert was fast, and moving back would only be what he wanted. In order to dodge the attack he had to be away from where the blade was striking, rather than simply moving backwards.

"I see...you used that illegal bait to notice some of my abilities. You're not that bad!"

No words were made as concentration was the only thing which was filling the red haired Quincy minds. Just one small mess up and he would be critically injured, or perhaps even worse. Hubert had beyond perfect strikes which was just absurd. The strikes had yet to hit, but it was the amount of speed, force, and time it took to make one. Bazz gushed in pain was Hubert appeared behind him and landed was able to elbow the teenager in the back. He collapsed to the ground but grabbed his hand-gun styled bow and shot multiple arrows as the Vice-Captain designed towards him.

"Aaaah!"

He yelled in agony as Hubert's sword had ripped right through his left leg. It had gone deep into the ground and was fixated on being jammed into the Quincy. But Bazz smirked and using his right hand grabbed the sword as the Vice-Captain tried pulling it back. "You fucking idiot!" Bazz roared. Hubert kicked the boy in the stomach and kept urging his sword to pull out from his leg. Using his left hand, Bazz shocked by pointing his finger in a gun-like fashion right at the kneecap as an oncoming kick was approaching.

There was no name for the technique, but a small gust of reishi was shot from the tip of his finger directly into Huberts kneecap. "Motherfucker!" the Sternritter yelled. Soon he too, had collapsed onto one knee from the intensive pressure and pain. 'What the fuck was that!? I destroyed his bow!' The internal screams caused the man to loosen his sense.

"NOW!"

Almost instantaneously a large blue arrow coated with a black aura was shot from the dense woods. Hubert turned to his side and widened his eyes. He tried gripping his blade but cursed as Bazz had refused to release his grip. Standing was not an option either, as his kneecap had been ruptured. The Vice-Captain closed his eyes and raised his reiatsu levels to the fullest.

Bounce

Hubert would have almost smiled if this hadn't been so humiliating for him. He watched as Ichigo was peeking out of the forest with his eyes widened in shock and confusion. He looked down at Bazz and noticed the same thing. Using one of his legs, the older Quincy lifted himself up and faced Ichigo. The orange-haired Quincy was frozen in fear. He tried shooting arrows but to no avail. Everything he shot simply bounced off of Hubert as if it was nothing.

"His Majesty gave me powers...and now he says one day they will be given to that weak-ass fucking kid! This is my power, I earned it! The 'Balance' is my creation! His Majesty has no right to take it from me!"

"You two have had good fortune recently, yes? Well, I fucking haven't. I guess this is compensation...to not die to children!"

Ichigo watched as the man loomed above him. Time had appeared still for him, and his body began to shake. Hubert never went to collect the blade. Instead, he had simply formed another one and pointed it at Ichigo. Little Ichigo did not even hear a word, all he could make out from what was happening was the large amounts of liquid which had shot out of his chest. The thought of this happening triggered many pain flashbacks, this fear of dying. This fear of being attacked by another creature deemed a "monster".

He didn't want to die by a monster. In fact, he had only agreed to actually kill creatures with the thought of them being harmful. Ichigo never wanted to relive that memory which his own mind had fuzzed out in order to block trauma. He never saw killing animals or killing people as bad, as Bazz had convinced him of the positive and requirements they needed to take in order to prepare themselves for the future. He hadn't complained, as remembering the first time he was in a position like this always filled back into his mind. Even if the memory itself had been re-worked by his own mind, or a foreign action.

But he would them.

He could always show them.

The monster, that is.

So, before anything. I understand the timeline in this seems to be extremely fucked up. It's confusing as Bazz is like 1000 years old but looks 14. Did they just sit at Silbern for a whole damn millennium?

Anyways, I plan to do like an arc-segment. Right now he with Bazz and will eventually meets others and of course progress onto the story. Anyways I really want this to be a accurate on the personalities of the Quincy. As my other bleach one was VERY OOC. I didn't like that and hope to do a better job. Ichigo will still be the same. A bit less annoying in a good way. I don't want to rush this. I feel like this could be something great, or just shit like my other stories who knows. I don't want to read this again and cringe like someone said, who I agreed with. Anyways, there will not be any OC characters or any crazy AU changes. This is just Ichigo growing up with Quincy rather than humans, and then Shinigami. So I guess the humans won't play a big part but I can make sure they are mentioned, especially Tatsuki.
