I do not Bleach.
Enjoy!
It's been twenty years, since the defeat of Ywach, the Quincy King.
A lot had changed, the famous group that was made out of the living and not yet dead people, were now well into their adult year's, with their own families and children.
At this point, Soul Society had pretty much given up on finding the dead people that showed up on that fateful day...well, not really, but it was defiantly something at the back of their mind's, once harsh reality set in and they could no longer use their best people to follow a trail, that had long since gone cold, years ago.
But they did inform their Soul Reapers, that if they run into those dead people, they were to immediately capture and give them over, to the interrogation division.
Soul Society had also changed in those past twenty years'.
Rukia Kuchik, had become a Captain of the 13 division.
Mayuri Kurotsuchi, the crazy researcher and the man known for his bad taste in fashion, was still unfortunately, still alive and kicking, having just recovered from the fight with the Soul King's left hand.
But the biggest change of all, was Soul Society, finding a way to stabilise the barrier between the dead and the living, without the presence of the Soul King.
With all this newness, nobody even noticed the slowly growing in popularity, group, that were based in the world of the living.
It could spell trouble for Soul Society, who at the time, didn't think the number of people who could see them, would change so rapidly.
Because, honestly speaking, they thought that group was another joke, just like Don Kanonji, who could see spirits but was so over the top, that you couldn't really call him that much of a help or a threat.
It took 20 years for the small group to gain enough followers, to have some say in the current world.
In fact, young people today, were talking about this group, that had recently risen to popularity.
Even Kazui Kurosaki, son of both Ichigo and Orihime, who was now in his mid-teens, had heard of this group and a lot of kids, his age, we're talking about them in class.
Apparently, if you join the group, you get this special device that would allow you to see the supernatural at a certain rank, and if you rank higher, you can even get other gadget's that would allow you, to touch them for real or fight against them.
This group, was like Pokemon Go for the world of Bleach, with so many video's cropping up, showing normal people interacting with the supernatural.
But, you would think, something like this, would warrant the attention of the whole of Soul Society, but no, they were convinced this was just some silly fad that would go away with age, and it didn't help that most of the high-ranking officials were so out of touch with the world of the living technology, that they didn't know cars could now reach the same speed as Soul Society's eight seat.
So, without them realising it, the world of the living was slowly catching up to world of the dead, in what they physically lacked.
Today, was going to be the day, the popular religious group lunched their new tv channel on live television, were millions of people would be tuning in, to watch, since it promised to be a very eye-opening experience.
And Kazui, definitely made his family, watch it with him.
At first, it seemed like another run of the mill, religious channel but that all changed, when a certain man, who caused so much pain and suffering to Soul Society, finally graced their T.V screen's.
Aizen Sousuke.
It was understandable, that Ichigo, his wife and friends in the world of the living, weren't very excited to see his return.
Ch 11: The group, Soul Society cannot ignore anymore.
It was safe to say, a hand full of people wanted this man dead, when he showed his face on screen.
20 years ago, Aizen had been sent down to Earth to live life as a Human baby, which thankfully went in a blink of an eye, he was raised by the group, where he flow, through the rank's, because of his natural ability to see the supernatural.
To him, those twenty years would have drove him crazy, being surrounded by weak humans who had never truly picked up a real sword in their lives', his only saving grace was that once a month, he was allowed to return to the place, he had quickly called home.
Being forced into a human body with multiple limiter's on, was bond to be uncomfortable, it was no wonder he was in such a rush to get back to the land that could have inspired the name 'Hell'.
So now he was leader of the group, dressed in a classy three-piece suit, three years ago, he would be lucky to wear a decent T-Shirt, it showed just how much the group had grown, now with finical backing.
To those beyond the camera, he looked like a fancy genius but to Ichigo and those who had entered Soul Society more than Twenty Years ago, they couldn't help, but see the man who caused so much pain and suffering, just for his own selfish goal.
Orihime, was understandable shaking as bad memories reared their ugly head in her mind, and Ichigo hand was the only thing that calmed her down, their teenage son was oblivious to this however, because he was too focused on the screen to notice.
"Hello" the man said, "My name is Aizen Koralo and I am, the current leader of the Religion, Ranwok"
"I didn't expect the leader to be so young" Kazui said, and the guy was so good looking too, which meant many girls who saw this would want to join the religion, in hopes of seeing him in person.
Meanwhile, both Ichigo and Orihime couldn't hide their shock at hearing his full name.
What did he mean, he was Aizen Koralo!?
This man was clearly Aizen Sousuke!
But then, they both remembered something they were told from year's back.
When a Soul Reaper died, they either became one with the universe or were reincarnated as a human in the world of the living.
So, when it came down to it, behind the awesome power of the Hōgyoku, Aizen was still just a Soul Reper.
The proof was, he had been sentenced by the 'Judges of the Central 46', a Shinigami group, not a Hallow group and certainly not the Royal Guards, who protected the Soul King, since he never actually went for the Soul King's head.
So, the rule must apply to Aizen as well.
Had he been reborn as a Human? Or was he a spirit, but this was broadcasted live, right?
They were pretty sure, everybody could see him.
"For those of you who don't know, our group" The man said, "Allow, me to tell you. We're a group that worship's the one closest to god, hence the name 'Ranwok'."
And there was several snort's around the world, at the mere thought of Aizen, suddenly being religious.
The image of Aizen proclaiming himself 'God' several times was still very strong in all of their mind's even after all this time.
But what he said next had several eyes widening in shock, and the most noteworthy was Kisuke Urahara, who was still unfortunately alive.
"Down, from our god's realm, we were given a gift. A device that let's normal people see the spiritual" Aizen said, and there was several disbelieving gasp's, as he pulled out a tiny device. "I know this is hard to believe, in fact many of our followers have voiced this out to us, but what I say is the truth. Until now, only those born with the gift, can see the supernatural. Let me give you a demonstration."
All eyes were turned to the T.V. as he asked the camera man. "Can, you take a few steps back?"
The camera man did so and they saw Aizen, on top of some kind of platform, surrounding him was nothing, he stood alone inside a large empty space.
"Now, it may shock you, but I am not in fact alone, despite what you see." Aizen said, and it was shocking. "Now, I want everybody to remember that this is live, so nothing you see is edited in any way, there are no special effects and there is certainly no green screen, so you can trust your eyes a hundred percent. Now, watch what happens when I put this device on the camera"
And the camera came up close to his face, he placed the device on the camera, making sure it doesn't fall off and asking the camera man, if it's was on tight enough, when the camera man gave the okay he said.
"Now, Mr Camera man, can you take the same number of steps back, as you did last time" and the man did and what the camera saw next was shocking, but to Ichigo and his friend's, it was more shocking.
The first to be noticed, was a young man looking like he was in his mid-twenties, his eyes were shut like slits, his very frame was tall and thin, with very sharp feature's and silver hair, dressed in a black suit, but his smile, was, what, really made long forgotten memories pop up.
It was none other than Gin Ichiramu.
Ichigo, his wife and his friend's, were than surprised to see a man, who died giving back the Soul King's left hand, Jūshirō Ukitake, suddenly appear to Gin's left, his white hair was tied back, but there was a scar over his right eye, he was currently rocking a white suit.
The next to be revealed was a kid, many higher ranked Soul Reapers wished they never saw again, Wonderweiss Margela, the boy was currently in a black suit playing with a black ball, like a cat.
Then came Gremmy Thoumeaux, the person, who was really just a brain in a jar, his appearance seemed to have recovered, from consuming Captain Kenpachi's power and was currently rocking a white suit of his own.
And the last, to be seen, was none other than Giriko Kutsuzawa, what was more surprising was the fact the man seemed to have both his eyes, and wore a brown suit.
So, if they put it all together, here is what they saw.
The reincarnation of an all-powerful madman of a Soul Reaper. A Soul Reaper who people thought betrayed Soul Society but actually did not. A Hollow with mental issues. A Soul Reaper who had been born sick but died as a well-respected figure. A Quincy, who joined Ywach in the battle that delivered the worst blow Soul Society had ever faced and a Fullbringer who tried to steal Ichigo's power's.
No matter how you look at it, Soul Society could not ignore this combination and what was more shocking was the fact that they could all, be in same room together, and not be at each other's throats.
Gin, waved at the camera while the other's looked like they couldn't care less about what was going on, to the onlooker's, it was quite a shock to see such unique looking people, especially seeing Gin smile. that reminded them all of a mischievous cat, they didn't even think a human being could pull that look off until that moment.
"What, you're seeing now, are my friends from the other side" Aizen explained to the viewers who continued to stare. "If you don't believe me, you can take a picture of your TV screens because I guarantee you, that, nobody but me would show up on your device. Now, Mr Camera man, can you turn around to face our followers?"
And before that moment, many people did so, believing this was all a trick but when they went to view it on their camera's or phone's, they found it was just Aizen in an empty space, the others had mysteriously gone missing.
The Camera man, did what he was told and turned around, what the viewer so next was shocking,
Several people in black robes, were linked to a chain that came out of hovering people and those who were free, were just wondering around, even walking though people!
Just than a Hollow passed through the door, looking like it had just come out of a monster movie.
"What the hell is that?" Said, the camera man as most of the audience thought so too, seeing the monster looking at the hovering people with chains as if they were a tasty snack, along with those who were living.
Already, Ichigo and his wife were tense, were they about to witness a massacre?
But before, the Hollow could lunch a full on attack, it was stopped by Gin, who, nobody with normal eyes had seen move, but to Ichigo and those with high spiritual level's, saw it in painfully slow motion, showing them, he wanted the camera, to see him pull his short sword out and stop the hallows teeth with it.
They all know, if Gin wanted to, he would have ended it, from where he was sitting before.
He didn't really need to move at all but he did so many, anyway, the Hollow seemed angry about being denied a meal.
And with the camera rolling, those with high spiritual levels watched almost painfully slowly, Gin extend his sword and pierce through the Hollows skulls, nobody moved to help him.
Before millions of people, the Hollow dissolved into thin air and its soul forever lost, since Gin never went through the proper Shinigami passing on ritual.
To the audience beyond the screen, it looked incredibly cool and flashy, as they all watched Gin take care of any Hollow, who thought the many gathering of souls, were an easy target.
The Camera, than turned to Aizen, who said, "What you just saw, was a battle in the spiritual realm and those monsters weren't really monsters at all, they were the corrupted souls of people, who were consumed by overwhelming grief or sadness over something that happened while they were alive. If a soul, after death does not get exorcised, then they will turn into those monster's, that hunt other soul's and even living people"
Shocking the audience with this information.
So when they die, if they don't get exorcised, they would become one of those monster's too, of course this wasn't information that Soul Society handed out to any living person, especially if they can't see them but having billions of souls coming to them because they didn't want to become Monster's, would surely run them all into the ground with overwork.
"But, if you received salvation in time, you will be sent to heaven. These are all things my Master Ranwok has told me, and only a lucky few who die or receive salivation after death, end up in my Master domain, a place separate from Heaven." Aizen said, knowing certain people would ignore this part, and he was right, Ichigo and the other's thought he was pulling a wool over millions of people's eyes with his religious bull. "So, if you join our group, you too, can one day see the supernatural and fight those who are overwhelmed with grief. No longer, would you wish for the gift to see a dead loved one or wonder where the mysterious scars on your body come from. The higher, the faith you have, the more likely it is to enter Master Ranwok realm, where only a few can go"
So basically, they were offering everybody a chance, but only a few will be deemed special enough to go in.
It was basic but effective, because deep down in everybody mind, especially a nobody's, they suddenly had a chance to be special and they didn't have to be born special by the world's standards.
"The master, can choose anybody, wither it's a normal high school student with no talent what so ever" Aizen said, making several people pay extra attention. "Or a truck driver who's spent year's in a dead-end job, everybody has value to our master Ranwok. You cannot buy your way into this realm, like everything else in this world, so you must be chosen."
Knowing, his words may anger a lot of rich people but those who struggled to get through every day on a basic salary, suddenly felt like there was somebody, out there who cared about them, even if they were deemed trash by the world.
"For those who want to join, its completely free and we will never ask you for money. You can go to our website on the screen, to sign up" Aizen said, as down below, words began to appear. "And for those who want to speak with me and my guardians from the other side, we will be touring around the world to spread our faith and visit our follower's. We, will first appear in Karakura Town, in Western Japan to do a live show, where we will interact with Japan's spiritual residence live so feel free to ask any question you may have."
To Ichigo, his wife and his friend's, this was the worst thing they had heard all day.
Aizen, was coming here!?
What, did that man want, with Karakura town!?
Was he going to finish the job, he started over twenty years ago!?
There was no way Soul Society can ignore this.
After all, taking this man lightly...
Could spell the end of Soul Society.
And scene!
Next chapter, under heavy watch, Aizen and company enter the town, and he can't help but find it funny to see the fear on old face's, as the Captains of Soul Society, try to blend in with the residence to get close to him. Review/fav and follow!
