Bleached Soul Chapter 3: Reaper versus Meister
Soul was the first to appear out of the top of the water gasping for breath. Maka was to follow and after her Black Star and Tsubaki came up. Soul looked around and said, "What the hell? Where are we?" Maka then said, "I believe the book called this world, the Soul Society, where Reapers roam killing demons named Hollows. I think that's where we are. Although the book said, you couldn't tell much of a difference in atmosphere since they're in the same dimensional plane." Black Star then said, "True that, I don't sense anyone at all though. Why is that? Oh wait, I forgot too, the book said these 'Reapers' use Spirit Pressure from their soul, so the two worlds wouldn't be exact. Oh man! How can we tell if anyone is even around!?" Tsubaki then suggests to Maka, "Hey Maka!? Why not use your Soul Detecter, I mean if we both use the same soul based energy you might be able to sense them." Maka nods in agreement and her eyes then show a dark dot in them and she searches. She searches for a few minutes before... "HEY! I see four coming this way, one male two females and one midget!?" The others are confused as well. Maka then says, "Why is there a midget with one guy and two females? Oh well. They must of felt something in their spiritual pressure and is coming to investigate." After waiting a little bit sitting on the beach waiting for the arrival of the four people on their way Soul then said, "Oh hey. They're almost here want me to change in case if their unfriendly?" Maka then answers, "Yeah I guess. Better hurry." Black Star suggests that Tsubaki do the same in case. There sat Maka with Soul Scythe, and Black Star with Tsubaki. They sat there waiting for the arrival still. Ichigo was walking back with Rukia, Orihime, and Kon back from the Soul Society and he said, "Oh man! Noone else wanted to come. This blows, why didn't they want to come I wonder?" Rukia didn't hear what he had said, because she saw Maka and Black Star on the beach and she said, "Hey, who are they? I didn't know someone actually came?" Ichigo then said, "They don't look friendly honestly. Look Rukia. When we get back go inside and get me my sword I'll talk with them and see what's going on alright?" When they got there Rukia went inside to get Ichigo's sword while Ichigo walked up to the two strange visitors and asked, "Hey! Who are you and what are you doing here on our beach!?" Maka then replies, "Your beach!? This 'was' our beach. Until this stupid idiot made us go through the portal into this world." Ichigo then remembers he also had read a book on the curse of Black Lake, "Wait, you went through the portal? How?" Maka then says, "Why should we tell you? So you can make sure we can't get back?" Ichigo then replies, "NO! I'm only asking cause I'm wondering if your a friendly or not?" Maka then asks, "Are you onee?" Ichigo then says, "Well, until you can explain what is going on and who you are, Rukia! SWORD!" Rukia came out the front door throwing Ichigo his blade. Ichigo caught it in his right hand and said, "Look, I don't want too much trouble. Actually, that scythe looks pretty dangerous, wanna try your weapon against mine?" Maka then readies her scythe for battle. Black Star then says, "Wait Maka! You might not wanna do that. I mean look at him. You might be able to take him but these guys are a whole other breed of humans. You don't know what their capable of." Maka then replied, "Yeah I know. But aren't you curious what their capable of as well?" Black Star then asks Ichigo, "Hey Carrot Top!?" Ichigo grows angry at that comment and says, "What you short blue haired bastard!?" Black Star then finishes, "Why not you battle her then me, if your up for it?" Ichigo then says, "You got a deal. If you hold your own against me I'll trust you to who you say you are and try to help alright? If not I kill you." Black Star then laughs and says, "HAH! Like you'll get the chance! Ready Maka!?" Maka then grips her scythe ready for battle. Ichigo then grips his sword ready for battle. Maka then gulps hard hoping she can at least hold her own against this guy. Ichigo and Maka dash towards each other yelling at the top of their lungs. They clashed in mid air Ichigo's sword and Maka's scythe struggling against each other. Ichigo then thrusts his sword forwards throwing Maka to the ground, but Maka backflips to counter it and lands on her feet perfectly. Ichigo then shoots a Getsuga Tenshou at her at full power. Maka then yelps at the move and tries to block the Getsuga and fails, knocking her onto her ass with a thud. Ichigo thens flashsteps behind her and slashed at her, but Maka was two steps ahead of him. She twisted her whole body around and caught Ichigo's Zangetsu with her scythe and they clashed once again. Ichigo's sword overcame again and Soul in his weapon form said, "Hey Maka! Try something different here! Everytime we clash, it takes a lot of my energy away and it hurts too!" Maka then held her scythe back and said, "Witch Hunter!" She then swiped her scythe and a huge wave of energy went flying at Ichigo. Ichigo tried to block it with his sword but it blew Ichigo back with force. Ichigo then grunts and says, "Hey little girl!? That was pretty good do another one!" Maka then smiles and says, "Alright! Hows about this one! WITCH HUNTER!" Another huge wave of energy came hurdling towards Ichigo. Ichigo then slashes his sword yelling, "GETSUGA TENSHOU!" A huge wave came from Ichigo's weapon as well. Getsuga Tenshou and Witch Hunter clashed in mid air with a huge bang! Maka's face then went blank and she said, "Ok man! What do we do Soul? This guy is tough, and I don't think he is even using a third of his power!" Soul then said, "Well, try two of three more attacks and then let me try to stop him in my human form ok?" Maka then agrees unevenly and replies, "Well, if it's what you want. We can try it ok?" Soul's image came through the blade as he said, "Don't worry Maka! This is us! We got this!" Maka then launched another Witch Hunter at Ichigo as he returned with Getsuga Tenshou. They clashed in mid air again but this time Maka came flying through the smoke and tried to slash at Ichigo but failed. Ichigo then turned around trying to cut Maka but she caught it with her scythe and kicked Ichigo to the ground. Maka landed on the ground a few feet away from Ichigo. Ichigo then laughed and offered, "If you can survive this form versus your weapon's human form for five minutes, we can stop fighting. Ok!?" Maka then agrees and Soul returns to human form and holds his arms out creating two scythe blades out the forceps of them. He then bellows, "YOU WILL REGRET CHALLENGING ME! Ichigo then holds his sword out and calls out, "Ban... KAI!" His sword changed and so did his clothes as well. Soul then gasped and said, "Maybe, my challenge was the mistake." Ichigo then began, "Getsuga..." Soul then said, "Oh crap... he's beginning with that!?" Ichigo swung his sword and bellowed, "TENSHOU!" Soul then held both of his scythe arms together and said, "I can try to stop that thing, but I probably can't alone!" The Getsuga met with his blades and they exploded forcing Soul back a few feet. Soul then realizing he might be able to withstand Ichigo for a few minutes. Ichigo then darts at Soul and Soul copies Ichigo. Ichigo's sword and Soul's scythe blades meet and Ichigo then says, "You can't stand this I bet!" Ichigo then hollowfies and sends Soul flying into a few trees. Soul gets up and shakes off the dust and says, "This is a pretty good warm-up battle huh?" Ichigo then says distorted, "What!? How can he get up from that!? Oh well, Getsuga..." Soul then holds both of his scythe blades out and says, "Don't you ever get tired of using that move!?" He then swings his arms sending two small waves of energy at Ichigo, he returns with, "TENSHOU!" His voice rang distorted from the hollofication. The Getsuga overran Soul's attack and knocked Soul into more trees and far into the forest. Soul finally lands into a giant boulder in the huge forest. Ichigo turns around, returns back to his Shikai and says, "If that guy comes back here, I'll let you live and we'll see about getting you guys back home alright!?" Maka then cries out loud, "SOUL!" Two minutes passed before Soul started coming back. He was walking from the direction he was sent. Ichigo then said, "Well, Soul. You did good surviving that... you can be considered friendly now." Soul walked over to Maka and stood there all battered and bruised. Orihime then saw the condition of Soul and said, "Hey. Are you alright kid?" Soul then looked at her and said calmly, "Yeah, I'm just..." Soul then collapsed backwards. Orihime then exclaims, "Oh boy, I'm gonna take him inside and heal him ok Ichigo?" Ichigo nods yes and Orihime takes Soul inside. Ichigo then says, "Why not you all come inside? You can eat and tell us all about what is going on alright?" Black Star, Tsubaki, and Maka then said, "Yeah, sounds good." Then they all went inside to explain everything.
