"Ichigo!...Ichigo wake up!" can be heard from Rukia as all Ichigo can see is total darkness. He slowly open his eyes, his vision blurry. He blinks more, his vision getting clearer and clearer. He sees the others over him and gets up slowly feeling sore around his chest. Ichigo Grabs his right lower rib cage.
"Guys what happened?!" Ichigo asks as he grips the handle of his sword and picks it up. "All I remember is looking at the guy and then flying into the building."
"I don't know Ichigo. All I do know is that he is different than anything we came up against so far." Uuryu replies as he walks closer to Ichigo.
Ichigo gets up, still holding on to his right side and then places the sword on his back. He looks around and senses the surrounding area. "Guys which way did he go?" Ichigo asks everyone. Everyone looks down, with slightly sad faces.
"Honestly we don't know Ichigo. "We tried to stop him but something weird happened its like we were all paralyzed." Rukia says as she rasies her head. "He walked right passed us and we were unable to do a thing about it"
Ichigo eyes widen in shock of the news he just heard. A single drop of sweat runs down his face. He slightly squint his eyes, looking down.. He just couldn't believe what has happened, they were completely useless against him. Ichigo then quickly looks up and turns his head.
"OK! We have no time to feel sorry for ourselves. Who or whatever that guy was had a innocent soul in his arms. We cannot allow him to carry out whatever he has planned with it" Ichigo says in a serious tone.
The others nod their heads. "Your right Ichigo!" Orihime says getting cheerful again. "We can't give up, we have to save that poor man's soul."
"So what do we do now?" Chad says in his deep voice suddenly.
"We should split up and search. That would be best action to take right now." Uuryu suggests as he fix his glasses.
"Good idea, Chad and Orihime you search the east of town. Rukia ,you and Uuryu will check the west of town. I'll search the north. " Ichigo says as he looks at everyone. Orihime and chad nods but Rukia and Uruyu have sours looks on their faces. They soon look at each other then Ichigo.
"What the hell! Why am i paired with Uuryu, he is such a creep." Rukia yells at Ichigo looking really aggitated. Ichigo steps back slightly
"For once i agree with her. Why did you pair me up with this stuck up." Uuryu replies.
"I'm not stuck up you ass." Rukia says towards Uuryu.
"Speaking of asses, yours is looking rather big these days. Someone isn't watching what she eats." Uuryu replies sarcastically.
Rukia face turns read with anger. She gets in Uuryu's face and growls."What was that Ishida? Did you say something about my ass? Rukia says as her left hand slowly curls into a fist. The fist trembles as Rukia starts to tremble full of rage. "Just so you know I have a great figure!" She yells out loud. She then glares at him and Uuryu glares back. Electric sparks then appear as they stare at each other intensely. The picture zooms out to see the back of the heads of Ichigo, Orihime, and Chad as sweat drops appears on their heads.
"Guys now is not the time for this!" Ichigo yells suddenly. "Look I know you guys don't get along as much as you used to. But right now we have to find that guy."
"Ichigo's right now is not the time for a lovers quarrel." Chad says adding on to Ichigo's point
"This not a lovers quarrel!" Rukia and Uuryu both yell at Chad at the same time. "But he's right now isn't the time alright lets move." Rukia says calming down, her face returning to her normal shade .
They all nod and head out in their groups. Icchigo goes north suing shunpo as Rukia and the others run in their directions. As Uuryu and Rukia run Uuryu gets an idea. "Hey Rukia, since we are going in this direction, mind if we stop at my house so I can change clothes? This isn't exactly fighting wear". Rukia glares at the corner of her eyes "sure why not" she says in a low annoyed tone.
Meanwhile, Chad and Orihime are seen near the industrial side of town, as Ichigo is seen near a shrine. Suddenly they all feel the reiatsu pressure very close to them. Uuryu then gets done putting on his Quincy outfit. Its all white with several blue lining around the sleeves, shoulders collar, and sides of his pants.
"Rukia its not far from here" Uuryu responds from sensing the reiatsu.
Suddenly the arrancer Ichigo was looking for appears in front of him on top of the shrine's staircase. Little did he know that just as it appeared in front of him, another appeared in front of Rukia and Uuryu. But this one was different from the one they were chasing. This one had Blue hair and eyes. He looked around in his thirties in a black jacket with a red shirt underneath it..He is wearing navy blue pants. On his feet looks like a pair of old feudal sandals with socks. His zanpakutou with a purple handle strapped to it's back.
"What is this?!" Uuryu asks with a shocked look on his face.
"I'm feeling the same level of reiatsu from him as the one we were looking for. But its a completely different person."Rukia thinks to herself.
Meanwhile as Chad and Orihime sensed the same reiatsu from two different locations suddenly a yellow flash appears above them. "WHAT!?" Chad says as he looks up then quickly grabs Orihime and jumps back. Just as he do, the yellow flash hits the ground destroying whatever it touches. The debris crumbles and disintegrate as the flash disappears. Dust fly as Chad puts Orihime down. As the dust clears they can see a huge hole where the sudden reiatsu attack hit.
"Thanks Chad" Orihime says in gratitude.
"No problem at all Orihime" Chad replies.
Suddenly they see who fired it . He too had the same strange reiatsu as the one they were trying to find. But he looked different as well. This one has short red spiky hair that goes up. He has silver colored eyes and looks in his late teens. He wears a sleeveless grayish black shirt. with matching jean pants that has chains loops around the pockets. He wears what appears to be black gloves with the fingers cut out, but doesn't have a zanpakutou.
"Its about time you guys popped up. I was looking all over for ya" The guy suddenly says in a young eager voice. "You can call me Pawn 3 and I will be your entertainment for the day." He then jumps down and dash fast towards Chad and Orihime once he hits the ground. As he runs to them, he crosses his hands in a X, revealing his back hands. Suddenly reptilian looking eyes opens up on them. Orihime and Xhad are stunned at what they see but then prepares to defend themselves.
"ALRIGHT HERE WE GOOOO!" Pawn 3 yells loudly with an excited look on his face , his eyes wide open.
Just as that happens, the one with Rukia and Uuryu speaks."What is this you ask? I am Pawn 2." He says as his tone gets more serious. "And this is your end!" His eyes lower as his facial expression gets aggressive.
It then goes back to Ichigo who is now running up the stairs with his sword in his hand. The outline of Ichigo's body begins glowing in a sky blue color he then gets ready to swing his sword.
"Getsuga Tenshou!" Ichigo yells as he stops glowing and swings the sword. A huge wave of raw reiatsu appears as he swings his sword horizontally. It then takes the shape of a blade slice and flies towards the arrancer. The arrancer pulls out his zanpakutou and tries to block Ichigo's attack. The attack pushes the arrancer in the air as he tries to push it back back with his sword.
"Hmmmm not bad for a human." The arrancer mummbles as he slowly flips over the getsuga tenshou. He lands on the ground. Suddenly Ichigo shunpoes in front of the arrancer and swing down. The arrancer's blade intersects Ichigo's ensuing a sword power struggle.
"Whats your name?" Ichigo asks in a serious tone.
"Pawn 1" The arrnacer replies.
"What type of name is that?" Ichigo says smirking.
"The last one you'll ever hear shinigami." Pawn 1 replies.
