ZANPAKUTOU RUNNER
Chapter 1
Ichigo groaned as he awoke…He instantly began searching in his memory for any clues of what may've happened to give him such a massive migraine. However his attention drew to something else, the warm, gruff, fuzzy carpet he was lying on…He could hear chatter awake as he opened his eyes
"What size is this?"
"This sir is 50 inches of pure HD pixel power."
"I Like it!"
"It's too big, it's only for the bedroom"
Ichigo groaned as he began to right himself, as his vision became clear, he noticed where he was...
In an Electronics store
He quickly glanced at all angles, The entire store was filled with TV's of all sizes, even the walls were covered in them, and a nearby salesman and what looked like a married couple were just a few feet away from him.
"What the hell!" Came a shout from a TV, Ichigo quickly turned to the source of the noise and on the TV, he saw…himself
"What the…" He began to panic as he watched an Image on himself play on multiple TV's, It was showing him being covered in a bright white light until he faded into nothing
"Ichigo!"
"Rukia!" Ichigo shouted as Rukia appeared on the TV Screen, The same thing happening to her, a bright white light began to consume her
Ichigo panicked as he grasped the sides of the TV, the image looked so real, like Rukia was actually on TV, and once the bright light consumed her…
"Ahh!"
*Smash!*
Ichigo turned to the source of the noise, as his eyes widened at sight
A Cardboard cutout advertising a sale…had a Rukia shaped hole in it
and out of that Rukia shaped hole…walked out…
"Rukia?" Ichigo asked as he began to approach her
What was that?" A Employee asked "Did you hear something smash?"
"On TV" The Customer explained
"What the?" She gasped as she realised where she was "Where am I?"
"I was hoping you could answer" A voice said, Rukia turned around and came face to face with Ichigo
"What's going on?" she asked him "There was this-"
"Bright light?" Ichigo asked "Same here"
"What's going on?" Rukia asked
"No Idea" Ichigo groaned
"NEW EPISODES OF BLEACH, THIS TUESDAY ON TV TOKYO!"
Ichigo Ignored the voiceover from the TV as he and Rukia continued to check their surroundings
"Ishida!" Rukia shouted, Ichigo turned to her and then turned to what she was looking at, an Image of Uryu being consumed by the light was now on the TV screens
"DAMN IT!" He shouted before the light consumed him
"Is it HD Ready?"
"It's a version of HD ready, yeah"
Ichigo and Rukia ignored the Salesman and the couple as they heard a shout erupt from the far left, they turned their heads and theirs eyes widened at the sight…
Uryu was literately fired out of a TV screen, halfway across the store, and landed through a table
Ichigo was half tempted to laugh at sight, but his brain was just convoluted with too many thoughts at the moment.
"Ahh!" Came another scream, Ichigo and Rukia quickly turned to another TV screen, this time it was Inoue who was being consumed by the light.
"Ahh!" She screamed as she fired out of a TV Screen on the floor, she literately glided along the carpet until she smacked into a wall "Ouchie…"
Inoue leapt up Happily as if nothing had happened, Ishida got up, clutching his back in agony. Ichigo & Rukia looked at the TV once again, this time Chad was being consumed by the light
and then he was fired out of a TV
did a flip
and landed on his feet
"He's good at that" Ichigo groaned
Uryu groaned as he began to walk, he waltzed over to Orihime
"Are you alright?" He asked, she nodded "Any idea where we are?"
"Nope" Came two simultaneous voices, Uryu and Orihime turned over and came face to face with Ichigo and Rukia.
"We're in a department store in Tokyo " Chad said as he appeared beside them
"How do you know?" Rukia asked, Chad pointed to sign that advertised the store as "The Cheapest Electronic store in all of Tokyo"
"T-Tokyo?" Ichigo choked out "How the hell did we get here?"
"What a sound system eh? Sounds just like you're in the with them"
All five turned to the source of the noise, a salesman trying to sell a TV to a couple
""We're in a department store in Tokyo"
"How do you know?"
Everyones eyes widened at this, those were Rukia's and Chad's voice, saying the exact same things they said just a few seconds ago and if they only payed attention to the images onscreen, they would've noticed why they had just heard their own voices
"Bleach" The salesman chuckled
"Is this a new one?" The male customer asked
"I don't really follow it myself" The salesman shrugged "Anime…it's all a bit crap isn't it? I mean the Ichigo guy is way too overpowered"
"Who's he?" Uryu asked no one in particular, he was too far way to hear the mention of Ichigo's name but had heard the rest
"No clue but I'm guessing he's a pompous know-it-all ass" Ichigo grunted
"Every time he's close to losing, he gets some massive power up" The salesman chucked "Talk about rubbish"
"How did we get here?" Chad asked "There was a bright light and then I was literately thrown out of a TV…"
"I dunno but it shouldn't be to hard to get back home" Ichigo shrugged as he began to make his way to the exit "And Aizen's nowhere to be seen, so it can't be all that bad"
…
"We were literately thrown out of a TV!" Uryu shouted but Ichigo had already left the store "Moron…"
"Is it me or is everyone…staring?" Orihime asked as they got onto an escalator, as it had turned out the Electronic's store was actually on the ground floor of a mall, with no visible exits, so they were attempted to find one of the second floor
"Also they look like they're smiling…and why are they taking pictures?" Rukia asked as many people took of Photo's of them "I don't understand, can they see us?"
"That's Impossible" Ichigo protested, still dazed and confused as to why he had seen himself and his friends on a TV screen and then actually thrown out of a TV Screen "We're in Shinigami form, they can't see us, but if they can see us, they're probably laughing at how short you are and they're taking pictures to show their friends
*Smack!*
"Say that one more time, I dare you!" she roared as Ichigo held his bruised jaw
"Oh man, they've nailed the characters personalities!" a person shouted
"They're awesome cosplayers!" another shouted
"Cos…play?" Uryu asked himself as they reached the second floor
"Come on" Ichigo said as they got off the escalator, onto the second floor "Can anyone see an exit?"
"No" Chad grunted
"Nope" Rukia shook her head
"Maybe their's a exit through that store" Uryu said as he pointed to nearby store
"Worth a shot" Ichigo shrugged as he and the others walked in.
The five proceeded to split up to find an exit in the store, as they continued to search, Uryu ended up stumbling into the Anime and Manga section of the store, he decided to back out, considering now was not the time to browse to increase his already rather small Anime/Manga collection, but as he was leaving something caught his eye, a small Manga on a shelf, that read-
"Bleach Volume 4: Quincy Archers hate you"
But wasn't only the title that caught his eye...
it was himself…
he was on the cover
…
He quickly grabbed the Manga and flipped it open, his eyes widening at the sight
"Guys…" he squeaked "You might want to see this…"
This has been the highest rated choice on the poll on my page for so damn long and I've FINALLY got around to writing Chapter One
This is based on "Red Dwarf: Back to Earth" which is based on "Blade Runner", hence the title "Zanpakutou Runner",
And before you go "Z0MG TH3Y e|\|D UP !N AN0Th3R W0RlD AND U DON'T EXPLAIN IT? YOU DUN GOOFED UP!1!" I WILL Explain how they ended up in our world…towards the end, it's a PLOT TWIST
and yes, this story IS Set in Japan, and before you go "Why are they speaking English in Japan?" I rightfully reply;
"Fuck you, Because I said so"
Have a nice day folks *Waves*
