To the Soul Society
So Orihime, Ichigo, Chad, Ishida, Yoruichi, Ken, and Xavier; who was still in his cat form; went into the basement of hat and clogs shop. It was a large underground area.
"Wow," Ken stated, "this is like a rocky plane."
"I know," agreed Orihime, "this place is so huge." The large man with glasses started to cry.
"Such wonderful reactions." Ken and Orihime were speechless. Xavier was still in his cat form and back on Ken's shoulder.
"Alright everyone," hat and clogs shouted, "your attention please." Everyone looked at hat and clogs. "Oh, first one little change." Hat and clogs then hit Ichigo on his forehead. Then Ichigo's body then fell to the ground lifeless, and Ichigo was in his Soul Reaper form.
"wow," Ken stated under his breath.
"Now then, take a look at this." Hat and clogs snapped his fingers and a square made out of paper instantly appeared.
"What is that?" asked Xavier.
"Well pay attention little bl-blockhead and I'll tell you," hat and clogs saved himself. Xavier laughed.
"Nice save," stated Ken.
"I agree," stated Xavier.
"Well, anyway allow to explain," began hat and clogs, "this gate will allow all of you to get to the Soul Society as you are. Right now, only Ichigo can go because he is in his Soul Reaper form, or a spirit form. Only spirits are allow to enter the Soul Society, so this gate will get you guy's to the Soul Society the way you guy's are."
"How come I have a feeling that there is some bad news," Ken interrupted hat and clogs.
"You're right," continued hat and clogs, "you have only four minutes to get there or be trapped between the two worlds forever." Chad, Ichigo, Ishida, Orihime, Ken, and Xavier froze up.
"You are saying that we have only one shot at this?" asked Ken. Hat and clogs nodded his head.
"How are we suppose to make it in that time frame?" Orihime asked with concern in her voice.
"Determination," replied Yoruichi, "your determination to get to the other side will get you there. If there is anyone who doesn't have this determination better back down now." Ken was the first to step forward. Then Ichigo stepped forward.
"We know that," stated Ichigo, "that is way we are here so open the gate." The large man and hat and clogs were about to open the gate. As soon as it did; Xavier, Ichigo, Yoruichi, Chad, Ken, Orihime, and Ishida ran as fast as they could through the gate. When they got to the other side, they all were surrounded by dark purple walls and just kept running.
"DON'T STOP RUNNING!" shouted Yoruichi, "JUST KEEP GOING!" Everyone did what they were told. Soon after they started running, the area behind them started to collapse.
"oh shit, oh shit, oh shit," Ken said under his breath while running. Soon after that, some of the purple substance formed a train like object.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!" shouted Xavier.
"Of all the days, the cleaner had to pick this day." However, they now could see the exit. They ran even harder than they were before and all landed safely in the Soul Society.
"That was way too close for comfort," stated Ken.
"Definitely," Ichigo agreed. They all took around and they saw what looked like ancient Japan.
"So, is this the Soul Society?" asked Xavier.
"Yes," answered Yoruichi, "we are in the Rukon District where the souls live when they first get to Soul Society. In the center is the Seireitei, that is were the Soul Reapers live."
"You mean that fancy area over there," Ken pointed to the direction of buildings that were a lot nicer than the ones they were standing near.
"So, that must the Seireitei place that you mentioned," Ichigo said as he started to run towards the buildings.
"STOP YOU FOOL!" shouted Yoruichi, "YOU'LL BE KILLED!" Ichigo looked back a Yoruichi. Then, out of no where, giant sized stone slaps appeared in front of Ichigo, blocking his path.
"What the hell is that?" asked Ken.
"Well well," a large voice echoed through the air, "it has been a long time since someone tried to enter the Seireitei without a pass." Then a giant appeared in front of them. He was wearing a Soul Reaper outfit with a metal sleeve on his left arm, and holding a giant axe.
"Who the hell is that?" asked Ishida.
"That is the guardian of this gate," replied Yoruichi, "Jidanbo."
"Well, someone has been getting their vitamins," Xavier stated.
"Yeah, as well as, getting their fruits and vegetables too," added Ken.
"I don't think this is the time for jokes," stated Ishida, "we have to do something about this gate keeper."
"Why not just let Ichigo handle it?" asked Ken.
"That's not to bad of an idea," agreed Xavier, "after all if Ichigo knocks healthy guy here out, then the going through the gate should be easy."
"Enough about the health comments," complained Ishida. Then Jidanbo took a giant swing at Ichigo and Ichigo blocked the attack with ease.
"I think Ichigo's been getting his vitamins too," stated a shocked Xavier.
"Or maybe he went under some pretty serious training," suggested Ken.
"Or maybe Ichigo did both," added Orihime. Everyone stared at Orihime. Then, Ichigo swung his sword at Jidanbo's twin axes, he took the other one out while the others were having a conversation.
"Man that was close," said a Jidanbo who got knocked off his feet, "I can't believe that I tripped and fell on my butt. Now, I just need to swing my mighty axes. . ." Jidanbo finally looked at his broken axes for the first time and was in a state of shock.
"Impressive," stated Ishida, "a single swing and he got them both."
"It's a two for one sale," joked Xavier. Jidanbo got angry at Xavier.
"SHUT UP YOU LITTLE BLUE CAT!" Ichigo, Orihime, Yoruichi, Ishida, Chad, and Ken all froze in a instant. Xavier got pissed and attacked Jidanbo.
"Should we. . .stop him?" asked Ichigo.
"My guess is no," answered Ken.
"SOME ONE GET THIS BLUE DEATH MACHINE OFF ME!" shouted Jidanbo in pain.
"WRONG! I AM A BLUE DEATH MACHINE OF DOOM!" Xavier shouted as he started to beat up the giant Jidanbo even harder. After it was all over, Xavier calmly climbed back on Ken's shoulder as if nothing had happened. Everyone else looked at Jidanbo, who was badly beaten up and clearly in pain.
"Orihime, could you heal the big guy for us?" Ichigo asked nicely. Orihime nodded her head and went over to treat Jidanbo. Then, everyone else angrily stared at Xavier.
"What?" Xavier asked in a confused tone as if he had done nothing wrong.
