Chapter 2: You may say that the events in this chapter couldn't happen in the series proper…but it did happen in the game, so it's fair game!
"You will not escape from us" screamed one of the three soul reapers slashing down towards Ichigo from the sky.
Within an instant, the three were on the ground, dispatched with swiftness and effortlessness, one punch each.
"Why are you all attacking me," Ichigo looks at the fourth shard he has collected in his hand. "Why is it so important to stop me?
In another part of Soul Society, Uryu and Orihime were running towards Ichigo's location.
"Ichigo, why are you doing this? Why are you sending this whole place in an uproar"
"Uryu" Orihime said, interrupting Uryu's thoughts "Where is chad?"
"Chad!?" Uryu exclaimed as he stopped "Uh, where is he? I thought he was still right behind us."
"But I thought you could sense spirit energy really well, how could he slip by?"
"Uh" Uryu stammered as he went into a cold sweat "It not like I've lost my Quincy powers and been having trouble getting used to sensing energy without them, that's preposterous!"
Orihime stared for a bit, "Ok then"
"Thank goodness I'm a great lier."
Ichigo was striding down the streets of Soul Society, another shard was close. A blast hit next to his feet as Ichigo jumped back to see Hitsugaya floating above him, Daiguren Hyorinmaru released already.
"Ichigo, listen to me. Stop this before I kill you" An icy gaze from Hitsugaya accompanies his warning but doesn't shake Ichigo's foundation.
"Listen Hitsugaya…"
"That's Captain Hitsugaya" Hitsugaya screams with a hint of irritation
"I don't want to stay in this place for one hundred years" Ichigo's spirit energy rises "I won't let you get in my way"
"One hundred years?" Hitsugaya mumbles confused
With a confusing impatience, Ichigo jumps towards the heavens to battle Hitsugaya. Hitsugaya blocks his blade with his own and pushes Ichigo back, causing Ichigo to fall back to the ground.
"Ichigo, What this about one hund…." A slash through a wall cuts Hitsugaya off.
"I knew it, If I cut through soul society, I can get to the fight faster" Kenpachi said in his usually voice, one of undying blood lust.
"Kenpachi and Hitsugaya? Listen, I don't want to be trapped in this place, so if I must cut through you both, then be it"
"Hmm, so unlike you Ichigo. Direct, actually beginning the battles instead of trying to talk it out. Whatever though, a fights a fight" An observation quickly forgotten as Kenpachi's love for battle makes itself know to the world again.
"No, Kenpachi, something isn't right here"
"Hmmm…I'll tell you this, I fight him then you can ask all the questions you want."
"Getsuga tensho!" Ichigo yells as a blue beam of spirit energy cut right between Hitsugaya and Kenpachi.
"Hah! I like this new Ichigo" Kenpachi says as he lunge forward slashing at Ichigo.
Ichigo blocks quickly and tries to overpower him, neither has the advantage. Ichigo breaks the struggle, making a full slash as Kenpachi bends back, dodging the slash. He quickly recoils by attempting to slash down Ichigo as he is extended forward, Ichigo dodged only by a millisecond. Ichigo jumps back in his dodge to gain distance between him and Kenpachi.
"Stop hiding your power, awaken your bankai. Stop fighting with a sheathed sword" Kenpachi yelled
"Alright then, if that's how you want it." Ichigo points Zangetsu forward as his spirit energy shows itself.
"If I continue to let Kenpachi do this, he'll kill Ichigo. One Hundred Years? What does that mean? Something is going on here and I can't rest till I find out"
"BAN-KAI!" A cloud of smoke and Ichigo has changed into his classic bankai form.
"Good, let's start this for real! " Kenpachi says as he charged forward.
The two are stopped as spirit energy shoots between the two, a glacier forms in an instant.
"You two stop this now!" Hitsugaya commanded before asking Ichigo "What do you mean by one hundred years"
Ichigo opened his mouth but words wouldn't come out.
"What's going on? I can't speak."
Fight Ichigo!
"What is this? Who is that?
Fight them Ichigo!
"Ugh! What is this"
Ichigo shunpos behind Hitsugaya and tries to slash him in half, only for Hitsugaya to dodge with his own Shunpo.
"Ichigo? I asked you about the one hundred years!"
"Why am I fighting?"
Cause you have to, you must free all of your friends from this place
"Free them?"
Do you lack the resolve to gain the power we need to be free?
"I just don't see the point in fighting Hitsugaya, he only asked me about the one hundred year seal."
Ichigo, borrow my power and take down these captains with my resolve.
Green spirit energy surrounds Ichigo, converging on his back.
"What is this power?" Hitsugaya says in awe "It's not Ichigo's…it feels more like a…"
The green energy stops swirling and forms two wings of energy on Ichigo's back. The thin wings pulse with power, in a grotesque beauty.
"Ichigo, I'm tired of waiting. Lets finish this" Kenpachi says with a cheer as he jumps off the undamaged parts of the wall to try and reach the floating Ichigo.
"This power…Ichigo could"
"Ichigo, I'm gonna end this" Hitsugaya lifts his sword up and strikes to send out an ice dragon.
"Getusga Tensho!" Ichigo screams again as Tensa Zangetsu fires a green pulsating blast that cuts through the ice dragon and repels the two, shooting them both back.
Ichigo shunpos behind the temporarily stunned Hitsugaya.
Kill him
"No I won't
Kill that captain
Ichigo hits Hitsugaya with the hilt of Tensa Zangetsu, knocking him down towards the ground. Ichigo, as if he couldn't control this power, shoots off another blast of spirit energy similar to the Getusga Tensho, blowing off Hitsugaya's ice wings and slamming him into the ground.
"This is getting my blood boiling" Kenpachi says as he removes his eye patch. The ground shakes with fear as his power is released in its true form "Ichigo, your one fun opponent"
"Kenpachi!" Ichigo screams as he shoots down towards Kenpachi like a bullet.
The two warriors blades clash, the mere noise could send terror in the hearts of bystanders as their power destroys the area around them. The ground Kenpachi stands on sinks in as the two continue to fight off the other.
Let me show you a trick your other taught me
"Getsuga Tensho" Another voice says using Ichigo's mouth as his now green Getsuga Tensho pushing through Kenpachi's defense causing a massive explosion, the area became filled with smoke.
Kenpachi lie on the floor, defeated. A sight that could shock any man in Soul Society. A soul reaper that will never fall lay on the floor unconscious.
"What in the world is with me? My power it's…it's different. Argh! " Ichigo screams as he falls to his knees, "What is this voice in my head!?"
