New chapter of Gateway to Hell! I do not own anything but the story!
As the flames seared around Ichigo's body, he walked through them without any fear, no regret clouding his mind. As he and Isshin advanced into the the God of Hell's throne room, the words of Masaki repeated themselves in Ichigo's mind. He grimaced slightly, knowing that achieving the peace that his mother spoke of could only be successful if the God of Hell was disposed of permanently. But was murdering this man in cold blood the answer? Ichigo smiled, knowing the solution to defeating the God of Hell... He took a deep breath as he walked into the God of Hell's throne room. It was a large room, the room brightly lit as in the middle of the room was an empty large chair. As Ichigo and Isshin entered the room, the doors slid shut behind them slowly. They both looked back, looking at each other afterwards with grim expressions on their faces. They turned back to the chair, which was still unoccupied at the time. As Ichigo and Isshin stood side by side, a small spider crawled from the ceiling, right above the empty chair. The spider was oddly colored, with three eyes upon it's abdomen. The spider jumped onto the chair, dark laughter filling the room as it did.
"Ichigo Kurosaki..." the voice boomed as Ichigo looked straight ahead. "We finally get to meet each other, face to face. It seems that it's been such a long road that we have traveled to meet here, with so much occurring in both of our lives. You have corrupted both of my Hell Girls, disobeyed my orders and actively been leading a revolt against me..."
"It's only fair after what you did to my family you cowardly bastard," Ichigo responded as the voice chuckled once more. "You sit here in the shadows and corrupt the human that peacefully reside on Earth. All in the hopes of gaining power so you can take revenge against the Soul Society for exiling you to Hell."
"So you have done your homework on me then," the voice replied in an arrogant tone. "You seem to think you know of my struggles Ichigo Kurosaki. But the Soul Society isn't my only goal. I plan to fuse Hell and Earth together, making the entire planet my own domain. What would be the difference from the state of Earth the way it is now? Humans are corrupt, they kill each other and commit sins on the daily. They are beyond savor, no lord nor god can save their souls now. Humans are selfish, dishonest, and thieves."
"Some humans are like that," Ichigo agreed as he shook his head in agreement. "Some are just as you just described. But some humans aren't, some humans are good people that don't deserve to suffer for the sins of others. You sit here and try to justify your madness by saying that you are just taking a world that is already corrupted. But you can't justify radical foolishness of a madman."
"Sometimes radical is the key to revive something that is beyond repair!" the voice argued as Ichigo shook his head in dismay. "What would you know about it human? You with your foolish beliefs that were bestowed in you by..."
"A woman that knew what it truly meant to be a pure soul," Ichigo interrupted as Isshin placed his hand on his son's shoulder. "I promised her that I would end your delusional dream and put a stop to this! And I won't give in!"
"You will give in to me Ichigo Kurosaki..." the voice replied as the room became shrouded in darkness. The flames flickered back on as the chair was now occupied with something other than the spider. Now a full grown man sat inside the chair, the man chuckling darkly as his three beady red eyes looked directly at Ichigo. He was a large man in stature, his skin blood red. His teeth were all sharpened, two large horns poking from his forehead. He wore a black kimono like the Soul Reapers, but parts of his were bathed in red colors. A large scythe rested in his left hand as he looked back at Ichigo and Isshin.
"So this is your true form," Isshin muttered as he looked the God of Hell up and down. "I'm not impressed to be honest. So, can I get first crack at him Ichigo?" Ichigo gave his dad a thumbs up, Isshin stepping forward as he pointed his Zanpakutō at the God of Hell.
"Your soul pressure is impressive," the God of Hell commented as he pointed his index finger at Isshin's chest. "But you aren't any match for me..." As the God of Hell said this, thin red beams shot from his finger, Isshin deflecting them with his sword as they came at him. Isshin snickered as the God of Hell clapped his hands.
"Hmm, why don't you try this then?" the God of Hell asked as he opened his mouth wide. As he did, a round red ball of concentrated energy began to surface inside of his mouth. Isshin prepared himself as the God of Hell spit the ball out of his mouth, Isshin stopping the attack using his zanpakutō. He struggled as the ball flew against the sword, Isshin setting his feet into the ground as the ball tried to overpower Isshin's sword. Sweat dripped down Isshin's forehead as he pulled the sword to the side, making the ball going crashing into the wall next to him. The ball left a indent, Ichigo looking at it in surprise as the God of Hell chuckled at this.
"Hmm, let's see what you can do..." the God of Hell muttered as he tightly gripped his scythe and emerged from his chair. He disappeared as he touched the ground, Isshin looking to the side of him as the God of Hell appeared. The God of Hell slashed at Isshin quickly, Isshin dodging as he readied his sword. Isshin drove his sword into the God of Hell's chest, the attack not even making a scratch. Isshin eyes widened with surprise as the God of Hell used his free hand to pick up Isshin by the throat and began to choke him. Isshin took his free hand and pointed it at the God of Hell's chest. With one quick flick of his wrist, Isshin was able to push back the God of Hell with pure force, the God of Hell's feet sliding through the ground. This gave Isshin the chance to escape from the God of Hell's grip, Isshin took advantage of this as his sword glowing a magnificent blue aura.
"Getsuga Tenshou!" Isshin screamed as the blue and white wave struck the God of Hell's body, the God of Hell barely even being pushed back by the attack.
"Weak..." the God of Hell murmured as he aimed his index finger at Isshin's chest. As Isshin's guard was dropped for less than 2 seconds, the God of Hell used this time to pierce Isshin's chest. As the red beam pierced through Isshin's chest, blood rushed down his chin as he held his chest in pain. Ichigo looked in horror as his father fell to his knees, Isshin coughing up blood as the God of Hell laughed at the fallen warrior. The God of Hell dropped his scythe, lumbering at Isshin with amazing speed. Isshin looked up with one eye closed as he was punched in the jaw, Isshin getting slammed into the wall by the attack. The God of Hell chuckled as he waited for Isshin to slide down the wall before grabbing him by the neck and slamming him up against the wall again. The God of Hell began a terrible flurry of physical attacks, attacking with punches and kicks as Isshin began to take more and more damage from the attacks.
"Time to end this now," the God of Hell muttered as he turned and retrieved his scythe. He held it in front of Isshin as he prepared to lop off the Soul Reapers head. Ichigo stopped the attack, as the God of Hell swung his sword, Ichigo stopped it by jumping in front of his father and using his sword to block. Ichigo began to exchange attacks with the God of Hell, the scythe and Zangetsu clashing violently as Ichigo easily overpowered the god. The God of Hell was surprised by this as Ichigo used his sword to force away the God of Hell's scythe. The scythe fell to the ground as Ichigo rammed the tip of his blade into the God of Hell's chest. Nothing. Ichigo moaned as he was slapped away, dropping Zangetsu as he was knocked into the wall where his father was still bleeding out.
"Dad, are you OK?" Ichigo asked as he looked down at his father, who was holding his chest with a slight grin on his face.
"Remember what your mother told you Ichigo," Isshin murmured as his eyes closed. He passed out, not known if dead or alive. Ichigo stood up as he reached for his sword. The God of Hell put his foot onto Zangetsu, pointing his index finger at Ichigo. The God of Hell then started to shoot multiple red beams at Ichigo's chest, Ichigo taking all of them with nothing to defend himself. He coughed up a bunch of blood as the God of Hell shook his head.
"Why are you even here Kurosaki?" the God of Hell asked as he slammed Ichigo against a wall. "Look at you, both you and your father defeated without me even using a fraction of my strength. This is truly the most pathetic thing I've ever seen in my days. I could easily kill you now, but I have an eternity to do that. You and me will be getting very well acquainted Ichigo. I shall be using your body to infiltrate the Soul Society. With my own body not able to enter through the barrier that was placed specially for me to not enter, I have never been able to exact mt revenge. True, I could have used any Soul Reaper before you. But I wanted one with strength, one with your power. That will make it much easier to crush those ignorant fools..."
"Hmm, you would do no such thing," Ichigo muttered back as he held his sword before him. "Let's get serious Zangetsu! BANKAI!" As Ichigo screamed these words, his body became covered in a black aura, his sword transforming into a slim black blade as he held it before him, smiling broadly.
"So the little worm has decided to get serious..." the God of Hell muttered with a grin as he watched the blade evolve. "Hmm, it seems that I will have to get serious as well..." As the God of Hell spoke these words, he held out his scythe as the scythes aura turned a wicked blood red.
"From all the souls you feed on and the power of Hell itself, show you true power now! BANKAI!" the God of Hell screamed as Ichigo gasped. The scythe transformed into a gigantic blade, the sword now red with a large hole within the middle. It glowed an ominous red aura, the sword seemingly staring down Ichigo as he looked at this magnificent blade.
"Behold my own zanpakutō Ichigo Kurosaki!" the God of Hell bellowed as Ichigo held his sword before him with a confident grin.
"Hmm, well I guess me and Zangetsu won't be bored the eh?" Ichigo responded as he ran at the God of Hell. "Round Two starts now!"
