Summary: (When we last left off, Ichigo and Rukia who had been in the world of the living, had met up with their friend Renji, who came to them about urgent news of the arrival of unbeknownst to them, the hellspawn Al Simmons, who left many horrific bloodbaths in his path and then as their friends Orihime, Chad and Uryu arrived hearing the news, the group goes to Kisuke Urahara shop for his help only to be informed that he himself knows nothing about the situation and sent them to go to the Soul Society, accompanied by Yoruichi Shihoin to assist the Gotei 13, and later the group meets with the captains and much to everyone shock, the petite captain, known as Soifon is shown to have recovered from her traumatic defeat and then they hear the alarm go off as Ichigo & friends are faced with the 12 ft tall towering figure Spawn, but little did they realize what the limit of his power.)
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN BLEACH OR SPAWN.
APOLOGY: Sorry I took so long uploading lately but anyways back to the story :) .
As Ichigo enters his bankai state to face off against Spawn, he stands shocked at learning that he has been holding back as well and Ichigo now bears witness to the explosive dense reiatsu that Spawn releases now at an incredible amount of time & force with a glowing energy in his hand forming brightly. He then asks himself in his mind "dammit, this energy is barely breathable..what is he" and at those words, Spawn replies suddenly in a deep cold tone "Im about to take your goddamn head off" and then his hand glows dim as a cloud of smoke forms around him. As the smoke begins to clear, a giant sword with a jagged edged blade and demon head hilt that glows a green electric wave surrounding the blade and Ichigo says to himself in a disturbed tone "The hell, it can't be...is that a zanpakuto?". As he stares awestruck that these changes, Spawn says to him coldly "This is anything but a soul purifier boy, this is Lore, the poison of the inferno I used to kill many opponents at your stature and since I don't like fighting little brats i'm giving you the 1st move" as he continues expurt dense reiatsu thats begins to spread wildly throughout the area. As he says this, Ichigo says in confusion "Wait a minute how did you-" but then Spawn interrupts by saying " Telepathy is used amongst those from the afterlife and it's how communication is established, now come and show me what you got" and as he explains that, Ichigo readies himself to attack gripping his sword while shouting "I don't care what you are, one thing is for sure is that your a threat to the Soul Society and I can't allow you to wreak havoc here! TAKE THIS!". As he says that, he rushes at Spawn with great speed and proceeds to generate a red & black wave of reiatsu from his sword and says loudly "GESTUGA TENSHO!" and sends it flying at Spawn who stares at the blast while standing in place and he says "Hmm". As the fight between them begins, on the sidelines the group accompanied by Yoruichi and Soifon, begin to cough breathing in the dense reiatsu and Rukia says while coughing "Dammit, this spiritual pressure is unbearable to breathe *coughs* it spreading throughout the seireitei" and Yoruichi says "We need to get a safe distance from it fast". Then Renji says holding a wobbled stance "Just what the hell is that thing made of anyway" and as he says that, Soifon continues to stare with widened eyes as she remembers the fear she experienced in their battle and says in a shakened soft tone "Impossible...this is impossible" and Orhime shouts "Santen Kesshun" and creates a giant shield around them. As the shield forms, they begin to realize that they can breathe again and Rukia says "Good thinking Orihime but how did you know that this would work" and orihime says in a nervous but calm tone " I um..I thought since it heals or rejects anything that I thought it could maybe it could heal the air around us yeah that's it hehe ^^" as she smiles at her.
As they view the scene behind the shield, they watch as Ichigo sends an enchanced Gestuga Tensho blast towards Spawn, who in turn pushes it out the way with his hand and sends it flying into the sky effortlessy and Ichigo's eyes widened as he sees this. Then Spawn says " It's been a while since i've seen heaven pierced, that the best you got boy" and Ichigo grits his teeth and shouts "SCREW YOU ASSHOLE!" and then he rushes at spawn with a heavy swing and Spawn does the same while saying "I'm tired of playing games!" and the two collide with each other's blade and causing them both to fly back. As this happens, Spawn quickly recovers and flies at Ichigo, who's stuck to a wall and is cut on the leg severely, making blood gush out as a piece of his torn jagged flesh hangs raw bleeding and he says "Aaah! Damn you!" . Ichigo then continues to attack by removing himself from the wall and dashing at Spawn, cutting a line across his chest making his green blood pour out a bit as he ignores the cut and says "Two souls have moved on just now" and then Ichigo stops to ask "What are you talking about dammit, are you a hollow!?". Spawn then explains "Here within me I hold 96,567 souls, in me they lie forever dormant should I need them or should they need me" and at those words Ichigo grits his teeth in anger at the thought of the holding of so many souls against their will and he shouts out "LET THEM GOOO!" as he moves to attack once more. As the two exchange many cuts & damages towards each other, the group begins to talk amongst themselves in the shield, and Renji says "Ichigo looks like he's struggling keeping his guard up against that thing, and how could something like that be able to hold so many souls in one body". Then Rukia says "No telling but its not looking good just look" as she witnesses Spawn's skin regenerate "Whatever it is, it has regeneration and that means if one of us can't find a way to help Ichigo we may be looking at a bigger problem", At these words, Chad, Uryu, Yoruichi and Renji look down in disappointment and concern as Soifon stares silently but frozen at the scene as Yoruichi comes up to her to ask in a worried tone "Whats going on Soifon, why haven't you been talking is whole time" and she answers " It's impossible...Lady Yoruichi, he's twice as powerful when I fought him! ". Yoruichi says "What do you mean twice as powerful?!" and she explains "When we fought, I felt a huge difference of his power and mine and compared to this...he's much more powerful in this fight" and Uryu says overhearing the conversation while looking at the fight himself "So if what your saying is true, then you and everyone else here should feel that it's getting stronger too". As this statement, Rukia says in a serious manner "Thats it i'm going out there to help, Orihime open up the shield" and as she says this a raspy voice says "Ho ho wait a minute hold on hold on now, you got a deathwish little lady, you shouldn't cut between his fights so blindly like that but then again, it's coming from you people so the recklessness is expected hehehe". As they hear the mysterious voice, a short , obese built , and with red eyes and an ugly demeanor with a blue mark on his face in the shape of an "M" appears outside the shield and Renji pulls out his sword in response and says strongly "Who are you and how did you get here?!" and Rukia says in disbelief of his response and says "You do realize that your in a shield right".
As that happens, the midget says with a grin " I'm impressed your friend has lasted this long with ol spawny there, he hasn't gotten rusty at all even after fighting" and Rukia squints her eyes at him and says strongly "Are you saying you came with him here, and if so then what is your business here and who or what are you?". As she asks this, he responds "Pardon me miss I almost forgot to introduce myself, The Violator at your service hm hm hm" as he grins with a wicked snicker and he continues "And I came to watch the scenery of this little spectacle here with Spawn". Chad says "Spawn? You mean that's his name?" and The Violator replies in a raspy tone "Hm hm, yeah as in hellspawn, for you all see here Spawn doesn't take to kindly to inexcusable acts of sinful violence and when he does witness it he acts out on it and man was your world leaking it bad". Then he continues to say "Every generation in the current millenia , a new one is hand picked by Malebolgia, my master & formerly his, and then burned to a crisp but unlike the rest he he, there was something special about him that made all of the afterlife lock eyes on him, he was a killer, a real ruthless kickass no question death machine, but alast he managed to escape our grasp and even ascended to the state of a god, making him the perfect weapon, and now he's free" as he grins wider in thrill of at sharing this news. As they all hear this news, they stare in shock at the realization of the level of danger their friend Ichigo is in and Soifon is the first to speak out as she shouts to The Violator "You bastard! You knew he was coming here didn't you!" and he replies "Apparently you weren't listening lady, I got nothing to do with him being here but the real reason i'm here is because of a different part of the script so let em have some time to blow off some steam heh". As he says that, Rukia yells out "What are you saying, tell us who brought you here!" and he starts to walk away saying "Like I said, all will be revealed soon to yall folks and as you people say in japan, sayanara he he he he haaaaaa!" and then vanishes in a blink of an eye as stand very concern about the fight more than ever and then Orihime tries to run out as Chad & Renji hold her back while she shouts "GET OUT OF THERE ICHIGO!".
As that happens, Ichigo breathes heavily as he stands with numerous bleeding cuts as he says to himself "Damn, no matter I throw at him he keeps coming out rengenerated and even if he hadn't his skin is tougher than the arrancars we've encountered lately and his reiatsu keeps growing like a reactor just what the fuck is he really". As he says that to himself, a distorted voice in his head says "Hey king, this is out of character of me but you need to let me out now and take this guy cuz seriously you' re gonna get us killed" and then Spawn says "Hey I can hear you know i'm not deaf and then he notices that his chest is open and says "Where is it, what did you do with it!". Ichigo then smirks and says while holding up a bronze locket "Looking for this, I was wondering if you would notice I took it so I'm guessing this is a source of some of your power" as he does that, the ground violently begins crack beneath them as Spawn yells in an enraged tone "GIVE IT BACK RIGHT FUCKING NOW!". Ichigo then gets in his stance and says "Come and get it bastard!" and then suddenly, Spawn then disappears from his vision and appears behind him as Ichigo notices to say "What the hell did he just-" and is interrupted by immediately being choked by the grip of Spawn's hand around his neck. Spawn then slowly squeeze harder on his neck and says in a cruel dark voice "Now you fucking pissed me off and play time is over" and takes the locket and puts it in his chest and then slams Ichigo into the ground heavily as the ground crumbles and Ichigo hollers "Ooooooaaaahhh!". Then he's quickly grabbed by Spawn's chains and repeatedly slammed multiple times into the ground as he continues to holler in pain and then finds himself unable to move from the increasing damage and says "Shit...I..I can't move"and then the group without a moment to spare quickly rushes out and spawn holds them back with telekinesis saying to Ichigo "Now die!". As he shouts that, he lifts his sword up for a middle clean cut as Rukia shouts "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" and then Spawn lays the finishing blow as Ichigo's body splits in two, and then he lets them go as he suddenly falls to the ground in a weary motion and his sword disappears. He thens rubs his head as his reiatsu falls back to normal and soon the rest of the Gotei 13 arrives and sees the dead body of Ichigo and then Renji & Rukia rushes at Spawn with their swords and holds them up to his head and Renji says in a angered tone "Don't fucking move asshole!". Spawn then says as he rubs his head "What..happened here?" in a confused tone and makes them look confused and irritated as Rukia picks up Ichigo's body and shouts "Look at what you did to him you did this to him and now you dare act innocent & confused in front of us!, are you that demented you sick freak!". As she says this, he says in a hurt voice "I.. did this?!" and he then continues with " I remember arriving, I was in the forest when a red flash appeared and..I was in a pit of rage, then he came to my mind...what have I done, hhaaaahhh!" as he punches the ground in anger and sits on the ground in disbelief. As this occurs, Yamamoto appears in front of everyone and stomps his cane and says strongly "Enough!, now listen up mongrel, As commander of the Gotei 13, you are hearby commanded to stand down and come with us at once or face the strength of the entire Gotei 13 forces, what is your decision?". As he says thi, Spawn then slowly gets up and striaghten himself up and replies in a calm yet cracked voice "Alright since I don't have a choice at this point I might as well comply but first I must revive him now".
As he says that, they look at him in shock as captain Kyoraku says while tipping his hat "The hell, am I still drunk or did he just say revive?" and then Uryu says in a surprised tone "Bring Ichigo back from the dead, can it really be done!?". Then as they discuss amongst each other, spawn picks up Ichigo's body and his hands and the body glows green as Ichigo's body begin to reattach itself together while healing away the cuts and gashes and as the process finshes up, his bankai deactivates and he lets out breath signaling he has been brought back. As he slowly sits up to breath out, Spawn says aloud "Its done" and then he is quickly restrained by the Kidou corps units and is pushed to walk while being escorted by the captains & lieutenants, including Soifon, as the group watches him being escorted away. They then all go to Ichigo's side and he says "Guys whats going on, what happened?" and then looks up to a crying Orhime leaking tears of joy "Ichigo *sniffles*you're..ok, you're ok" as she smile softly dripping tears. Then Renji says "You almost had me worried there Ichigo" nudging his elbow and then Ichigo stands up to say "Shut up, huh?" he says as he notices Rukia looking at him with a glare and she says "I just wanted to say that i'm glad you're alright *start to drip tears* don't ever do something so reckless like that again fool" as she breaks down in his tears against his chest. He then chuckles and hugs her while rubbing her hair playfully and says "Don't worry i'm just fine" as Orihime frowns at the scene and faces away (Unbeknownst to him) and then he asks in panic "Wait! where is he?!" and Renji says "If your looking for Spawn he was escorted to the holding cells for interrogation immediately after reviving you willingly". As he says that, Ichigo stares shocked and says "His name is Spawn and he...did that..I was...but I was his opponent..why, what happened?" and Rukia replies "We're not sure but it looks like something disrupted his thinking when he arrived but we think it may be linked to what we encountered during your battle". He then asks in a strong tone "What did you find?" and Yoruichi steps up to him and says "Apparently, a short fat bastard knew he was here as well and even gave us a background on him and Spawn's sprit energy had no effect on him outside Orihime's shield and from what we were told, they must be enemies towards each other". He then responds "But even still I wonder why that even when I didnt even phase him, why was he so protective over the locket that fell out his chest" and then Rukia says "Hopefully soon we'll find out the answers to all this choas ensuing".
As they finish the discussion, meanwhile in central 46 prison, Spawn sits on the floor and hears the voice of The Mother trying to contact him telepathically saying "Simmons, can you hear me well" and he responds "Yeah i'm here, what is it?". It then says "Somethings gone amidst there that I had not for seen, I do not know how this will all end but you must stay a clear mind before everything comes to past" and he replies "Yeah yeah I got it" and it says "Farewell Simmons and take care of yourself diligently" and it's voice discipates. As the conversation ends, Spawn remains still as the door to the cell hall opens up and he hears a small set of footsteps approach and is revealed to be the petite raven haired captain, Soifon, who says calmly "Looks like you made a quick recovery, my name is captain Soifon, commander of the punishment force and i'm here to ask you a couple of questions for interrogation". Spawn then faces away and bluntly says "I don't have time for this, I got too much on my mind right now, maybe some other time" and she then frowns in irritation and says slightly louder "You're in no position to request anything, now i'll say it again, i'm going to ask you a couple of questions for interrogation, understood?". Spawn then sighs tiredly and says "Alright then lets get this over with" and she replies "Ok then first question, what brings you to the Soul Society?" and he replies, "I've been tasked to help assist you all with 3 traitors who caused havoc amongst you, one in specific is named-" but then is interrupted by her. She then says "Sosuke Aizen, but how did you know about that" and he responds "Like I said, I was sent here to help you all annihlate them to restore balance " and then she becomes a bit shocked from this as he explains that and then says "Next question, what exactly are you and where did you get this strength, from the information we received, your something called a hellspawn from hell, is that right?". Spawn then says "Yes, it's true that I am but at one point after biting the fruit from the tree of life, I was a god and managed to fight off both hell & heaven's forces but in time I gave up being an all powerful but still retain some of that power, even though I was overpowered enough to begin with". She then becomes slightly shocked by this inside and says "Interesting, you seem to be on a more different level than i thought, now I also need to know more about the short man who told us this information" and at this, Spawn stands up in surprise at knowledge of who she had been referring to and says in a loud tone "What?! That son of a bitch is here!?, How!?" as is eyes flare green. Soifon then secretly gulps and says in a serious tone "Thats what we'd like to know and how do you know him?" and he replies calmly "He helped make me a prisoner inside this shroud after I made that damn deal and now that I know he's here, he must be found and whoever he's working for and that came with him" and then she asks with a concerned tone"Are you suggesting that he didin't come alone?". Spawn then explains "He never comes anywhere alone because knowing him he has a task of his own by whoever he's working for, making it more dangerous for everyone here" and as she stares at him while he explains this, she sees his locket fall out his chest.
After that she asks "Whats that?" and he responds picking it up "Nothing you would care about" and then she frowns and says "As your interrogator I demand to-" and he then shouts slightly "Look! back off!" and grips gently in his hand and opens it to reveal a picture of him & wanda when they were married. As he shows the picture, Soifon looks in awe and asks "Is that you" and he replies "Yes..I almost forgotten what life was like when I was alive, back when Wanda saw me as a man" and looks at it in sadness in his eyes to which Soifon looks down at his saddened eyes and feels the raw emotion herself in her eyes. Soifon then straightens up her face and says calmly "I have 2 more questions for you to answer, and then i'll be on my way" and he sighs and replies "Very well then, go ahead" as he puts the locket back in his chest and then she asks and becoming slightly shakened at the memory "I wanted to ask you...why did you...spare me in our fight when we both know that you could have killed me?". He then stands up to say in a heavy calm tone "That was because you were misjudged during my mind jamble and I didnt look past the reason why you killed those kids and I knew you didnt want to do it to them but it was better than the fate you could have left them to..and the fact I was told not to and i'm sorry about any trauma I may have caused you due to misusing fear". At those words she becomes stunned and then clears her throat to ask her last question and Spawn says "I sense your about to ask the last question?" and she replies "Yes, the fact that you have as much power as you claim to obtain, why did you let your self be captured so easily?". He then responds "I figured this would be the only way to get some time where I could gather my thoughts, some insight on this world so therefore I waited until someone wanted to talk this matter over without the need to spill blood". As he finishes explaining this, Soifon then says " I see and thats all the questions I have but one more thing" and he says "What?" and she asks "What is your name hellspawn?" and he says "Al, Al Simmons is my name" and then she prepares herself to leave as she says "Ok and thats all for now, i'll report your answers to the captain and as a token of thanks, i'll even request a release of your freedom, only because you'll be useful in this upcoming war" .As she leaves, Spawn says "Hm, fine I guess I can finally get some peace & quiet here" as he sits down and she stops at the doorway to say "Thats fine, I appreciate your cooperation...Al" and walks out as the guards close the door behind her. As soifon walks towards the exit, she thinks to herself "Some strange times these are, first he was a rampaging mongrel who fought ruthlessly against everyone in his path when I encountered him and even labeled me a sinner but yet he still spared me and he didn't say but he used the same energy to heal me a bit as he did the substitute, it's like he's a different person and that woman in the picture, I wonder what happened to her and more important what deal did he make to be where he is now" as she walks outside and looks up at the sunny skies and walks towards the seireitiei.
A/N: And that concludes another chapter, and it seems like Spawn has started to grab the full attention of the Gotei 13 and especially Soifon's, and Ichigo couldn't rise up to the occasions when he stood his own against him and Orihime seems like she has a bit of envy growing at the connection between Ichigo & Rukia but more importantly to the point of out of character, Spawn's enemies have now made their way into their domain and all these speculations and more to them will be further discovered on down the road as this story continues next time and again sorry about the lack of uploading but i'll try to be more frequent and please leave any request, ideas and concerns in the comments below and as a treat here's a short cheesy comedy routine I cooked up of a certain soul reaper performing stand up and until then i'll see you in the next chapter :)
