Urahara was sitting there with a odd expression on his face, somewhere between confusion and amazed.
"Did you just leave this universe?" He asks with a smile and his eyes hidden beneath his striped hat, though he seemed to have a serious look about him, odd how the anime only had that feeling for a brief moment, he seems to have that feeling whenever he talks.
"Yes, I was pulled into another one somehow, and was greeted by the villain of that universe, odd how that worked out." I reply thinking of that incident with Vlad.
"What powers did you 'copy' from that universe?" He asks, standing up to fetch the tea that had just started boiling from the stove.
"The powers of a ghost along with that one ghosts specific power to control any tech. it came into contact with." I say,"Honestly I don't know why I just told you all of that." I add as an after thought.
"It's because of the truth gas I had Tessai pump into the room, it shouldn't matter for me though since I'm guessing you know everything about me due to that manga in your universe." He says turning back to me,"Now do you like sugar with your tea?"He asks with a smile.
"Uh, yes I do, two cubes please, but the fandom for you knows very little to be honest, we only know that you were a captain, why you were banished, and your Shikai, we are still wondering what your Bankai is, but there are many guesses, also we don't know how you met Yoruichi. Again, we don't know much." I tell him with my hand scratching my neck.
"So there isn't much you know about me?" Urahara immediately opens his coat and drinks a vial of a nasty looking liquid, what I assume to be the antidote for the truth gas,"Well, thanks for telling me that, now you said ghost, is this like the ghosts here or are they different?" He asks pulling out a notepad and a pen.
"Yeah they are. Instead of Soul Society to go to, they go to a place called the Ghost Zone. Also instead of being like the normal spirits found here, they all seem to have a unique set of skills that reflect how they lived, and possibly how they died. There are some common traits between them. For instance they can become invisible, intangible, fly, accelerated healing, enhanced strength and agility, as well as shoot energy beams. Anything beyond that is either learned or given to them upon death." I explain almost in a daze.
"Interesting, and you copied one ghosts powers thereby giving you those basic powers and it's powers over all technology?" He asks while marking down notes as he goes along.
"Yes, but since I was alive it had an odd reaction, something that only happened to two other people in that universe, I became half ghost, a hybrid if you will, but it went beyond that. The powers I got from Orihime made it to where I followed this universes rules of the dead, but instead of getting a chain it skipped that part completely and made a mask appear on me, shortly after I passed out and once I woke up I returned to my home universe." I leave anything I can, but it seems like it won't matter, that was all there was.
"So you became a hollow shortly after turning into a ghost. Hmmm." He puts down the pad and pen, stands up and walks to the back of the room,"Lets see this, follow me." He says looking back over his shoulder, the clogs clicking as he went. I got up and followed him down a ladder to the training room. I must say seeing this place really makes me wonder how he kept it secret, this place was huge!
"Now, can you become a ghost on command?" Urahara asks when we reach the bottom.
"I think so, some of the powers I'm able to use now though, so it should be easy to become one if I'm right." I say.
"Lets see it then." Ichigo suddenly says from the ladder behind me.
"Okay." I say then walk out about twenty feet. I slowly raise my hands and say "Goin' Ghost!" No one has any idea how happy I was that it worked. Two orange rings appear around my waist and one goes up while the other goes down. Once again I'm standing there with red eyes, white hair, and a solid black outfit, but that symbol from my phone is now added to the front of my shirt.
"He looks like a tall Hitsugaya with red eyes." Ichigo points out while he pulls Zangetzu off of his back.
"Wh-whats that for?" I ask backing up as Ichigo gets closer.
"To test your power, what else?" He says, but the look on his face says that he know how I was naked getting off of the table in the clinic infront of his sisters.
"Well, seeya then." I say and fly off turning invisible as I go so I can hide.
"Get back here!" Ichigo yells at me shunpoing to catch up, even though he overcame me after the first one. He kept going until he was about one-hundred yards ahead of me then turned around suddenly with his sword raised high.
"Getsuga Tenshou!" He yells swinging the blade down letting loose a blue energy ark that is sailing toward me, and being the idiot I am stopped, became visible and waited in shock. Then once again the mask started to appear on my face.
"Stop him Ichigo!" Urahara yelled at Ichigo. Ichigo then charges me with his sword pointed at my face. By the time he got to me more than a mask had formed. My body took on a red shade and the mask was more complete, the circuit design was stretched out into the middle of my face. Other physical developments include my shoulders now having a single spike shooting up over my head curving inward, my legs being gone, replaced with the ghostly tail that some ghosts get, and my chest being a little pushed out. Along with the circuit design being present all over my body.
"What is he?" Ichigo asks stopping short about five yards from me.
"I am king of hollows and ghosts!" The thing I had become screeched at Ichigo.
"Whats wrong with this thing? I can't feel any reiatsu from it." Ichigo asks Urahara.
"I don't know, but I'm not picking up anything either." Urahara says pulling his sword from the cane. Then the hollow launched a cero at Ichigo.
"Where am I?" I ask to the empty forest around me.
"You are with me now." A man said behind me, he sounded like nails being grated across a chalkboard,"And you won't be leaving anytime soon."
"No I will leave! This is a forest! I can always run out of it!." I yell turning around me to find a old man with a lab coat on, he looks like a 1950's mad scientist to be honest about it, complete with the wacky hairdo and rubber gloves.
"You can't run out of yourself." He says with a evil smirk on his face.
"This is me?" I ask looking around,"I always thought it would be darker and inside a house maybe." I say just taking in the scenery around me.
"Do you not know who I am?" The old man asks.
"I'm guessing the hollow that was born, and I must say, you look awesome, but I guess we aren't here to chat, you want to kill me, right?" I ask getting ready for a fight.
"No, I just want out of this body! I WAS TRAPPED HERE!" He shouts at me, while a wind makes his point clear. The area suddenly gets shifted into evening.
"You were trapped here? How?" I ask shocked since most hollows only want to kill.
"When you stole that ghosts powers, I was made, and trapped in this soul! I want to get out of here, help me!" He cried.
"How? You were made here. I don't think it is possible for me to help you, unless I just let you have control of my body every now and then. Would that work?" I ask looking for a compromise of some sort.
"Is that all you can offer me?!" He shouts, getting angry at the offer.
"Yes, it's the best I can do right now, if you wait maybe we can find a body for you soon, just let go of my body first so they don't kill us both before we can even think about doing that." I say in a calm voice, trying to get this hollow to calm down.
"Fine, have your body back, and to make sure you pull through with the offer, I will be watching out of that lazy eye of yours, and I won't let you die before then, enjoy the power while you have it." He says much calmer now, his voice sounds like an echo now instead that screech it was before.
"Thank you, I will help you find a body." I say as I extend my right hand. He takes it and shakes, my only hope is that we can stay in one body and not split up, it would help me so much, but I can't just let him stay here if he is unhappy, that is inhumane to me.
My body drops to the floor of the training area with cuts and bruises all around me. The pain is a lot to bear and I have no idea how I am starting to stand until I see Ichigo helping me up giving me a pat on the back.
"Good job, you kicked that hollows ass, how was it?" He asks with a smirk on the left side of his face.
"I didn't hurt him, he is trapped in me and wants a body to escape to, so he took control of me, he doesn't want any bloodshed, he only wants out and I offered to help him get a body, so thats what I'm looking to do. Just because he is a hollow doesn't mean he wants to kill everything." I say looking him dead in the eye.
"What? That's unheard of." Urahara says.
"Could it be a special case since he isn't a true hollow but a hybrid like me?" I ask wincing at the pain in my side.
"Maybe, but it is uncertain for now. We should all just rest up and see what happens." Urahara says after a brief pause to think it over.
"Yeah I'll head home for now, and come back once things are smoothed out between me and him, if they ever are." I say while I pull out my phone and call the number. I fall back into our world and see I am in the van on the car ride back to Morehead. The headache isn't as bad this time around, it seems like it is cut down to almost half of what it was last time. The next thing I see is that we are pulling up to the high school and unloading. Good to be home this time.
