Ichigo ran in the darkness and black void that is the Garganta.

He ran as fast as his legs could carry him without having him fall through the void below.

And his mind was running as fast as his legs were. It was filled with rejections, denials and fears. He couldn't believe that his family was dead. He doesn't even know what happened to them. They can't be dead.

Similar thoughts ran through his mind over and over again as he ran towards the end of the void.

He reached it.

With a bala, he broke the entrance and jumped out of the darkness and into the light.

Actually, he ran straight into a car.

"Fuck!" he shouted as he shot out of the way. He skid across the air, feeling confused. He was sure that he made the garganta so that the coordinates on Earth would be very near his house but way above in the atmosphere. Something was off. Was it his calculations or did something happen over the century?

He turned around to see the car go by and he noticed that... it was flying.

Hovering to be exact.

It gawked at it.

So did the driver at him.

"Hollow!" he shouted and pressed a button on his car.

"Huh?" Ichigo said. "You can see me?"

"Of course I can, you idiot!" With that, the driver flew away.

Ichigo took this time to take in the surrounding around him.

The city that he had been born to was completely changed out of its original shape. Hundreds of Skyscrapers, hover cars of different altitude, and other things that you would see only in the future. "Oh..." he muttered. "I guess I really have been gone for a long time," he said.

"Bakudo 30, Shitotsu Sansen!"

Ichigo whirled around just to see three beam of light pierce his chest, arm, and leg. And he then, he couldn't move.

And from some distance, he saw shnigamis coming towards him with their zanpakutos drawn. Some had it released.

'Oh.. so that's what that button was... shinigami caller...' he chuckled at the name that he gave the button that the driver had pushed with all his might. And they got here pretty quick. But if he was a real savage hollow, then the driver would be dead by the time they got here. They were slow as always.

"It's an arrancar!" the lead shinigami shouted as she screeched to a halt in the air along with all the others. This shnigami looked somewhat familiar...

Ichigo had no time to think through, for they were preparing to transfer him to Soul Society by the looks of it.

With tiny portion of his raw strength, he broke the kido apart and did what his body told him to.

He put his hand up on his face and pulled it down.

And his mask came out.

Wait, what?

Wasn't he... um, arrancar, not Vizard? He thought about this. But here was the mask, on his face like it was when he was a vizard. What was going on here?

But then, his train of thought stopped, for he was forced to protect himself from Zabimaru like zanpakuto. Except this zanpakuto had a hammer at the end.

Ichigo deflected the blow with a swat, and when it came back again, he grabbed it and pulled the owner of the zanpakuto close to him with a great - pathetic on Ichigo's point of view - yank. It was the lead girl.

"WAAAHH!" she wailed as he pulled her into his arms and he grabbed her neck with a single hand.

She began choking. Surprised by the strength of his grip, he loosened it tiny bit, allowing her to breath. The other shinigamis were slow to approach him with her in his hand.

Ichigo stared at her face. Something about her made him feel awkward and wrong. What was this?

"You," he said.

"What, hollow?" she growled.

"Who's your parents?" he asked.

"...Wah-?"

"Your parents. By chance is one of them Byakuya?" he asked.

"H-How do you know my father?"

Ichigo groaned. Of course, that emotionless face. This girl had one exactly like him. He released the girl's neck. The shinigami turned to retaliate. "Idiot-!"

Her zanpakuto, however, ended up flying into the sky and when it came down, Ichigo caught it.

"I can't believe your that emotionless fart's daughter," he said with a groan. "I can't WAIT to see what happens to me once he finds out about this," he said, sarcastically.

She immediately shunpo'ed some distance away. "...W-Who are you?" she asked.

"Ichigo. Just tell that to your father," he said as he opened a garganta and left the place.

"Wait! You can't leave with my zanpakuto!" she shouted at him.

"Then tell me your name," Ichigo said as the garganta began to close.

She growled a bit before she answered. "Kuchiki San!" she replied.

Ichigo smiled, causing the girl to flinch for some reason. Then he gently tossed her her zanpakuto just as the garganta came to a close with a loud and deafening slam. She caught it and stared at the space at where Ichigo was last seen.

Wounded Pride.

"You'll pay for this, arrancar..." she hissed under her breath before she called for a messenger. A messenger immediately came to her. She turned to him. "Arrancar attack in Inner Karakura Town, just outside Kurosaki Hospital. Claims its name is Ichigo. Extremely strong. Mostly likely a vasto lorde level arrancar. End report."
