Disclaimer: I do not own bleach
Warning: This is a brutal story with a lot of deaths and gross scenes. This story is rated T but could be rated M very soon
Notice #1: Ichigo's appearance has changed due to the events in the last two chapters. The top of Ichigo's hair is now black instead of orange. Also due to the events in the last two chapters, Ichigo is very anger and his temper is very uncontrollable in this chapter. When the last chapter ended both of his sisters were under Tsukishima's control and his Captain had been arrested.
Notice #2: When I say Aizen, it still refers to Sosuke Aizen. Even though Palu's last name is technically Aizen, he is only going to be referred to as "Palu."
Notice #3: While none of the Visored are captains in this story, they have all been allowed to work in the Soul Society Again.
Notice #4: Remember that all characters that have been resurrected now have to abilities to fire a cero.
Notice #5: This is part 2 of the two part midseason finale. This is the chapter that will change the entire story. I hope you all enjoyed this midseason finale and I will release chapter 53 in ten days (I'm going on cruise so I can't type fan fiction until get back). Thank you for all of the support so far throughout this season. I can honestly say this chapter is the most important chapter in "Espadas Reborn" so far.
Chapter 52: Espadas In Karakura Town Part 2
Opening Theme: Chu-Bura by Kelun
Location: Karakura Town
Current Date: Twenty First Day of Summer
Ginjo said to Tsukishima, "Tsukishima, Go contact Kageroza. Tell him that Ichigo is not cooperating and that it is time to take action. Tell Kageroza to give Yuzu a more painful death than what that lieutenant, Nanao experienced."
Ichigo then yelled, "SHUT UP." Ichigo held his sword out in front of him as blue spiritual energy surrounded him and yelled, "NEITHER OF YOU TWO ARE GOING TO CAUSE ANY MORE HARM TO MY SISTERS IN ANY WAY. BANKAI."
Ichigo began to rise up into the air and said, "TENSA ZANGETSU."
Ginjo then said, "Bankai ehh. Time to see how much you trained and judging by the change in your hair color, I would say that this bankai might actually give me a challenge."
Tsukishima said, "Are you sure you want to do this Ichigo, Karin might accidently take all of your attack."
Ichigo's eyes widened but Ginjo quickly said, "No. She won't. Tsukishma get Karin out of the way, I want to handle this brat personally."
Tsukishima grabbed Karin by the arm and took a couple of steps away from Ginjo.
Ichigo, who was ten foot high in the air, yelled, "GINJO, YOU ARE GOING TO PAY FOR HURTING MY FAMILY." Ichigo stopped what he was saying and said in a less loud but cold tone, "I am going to kill you."
Ginjo, who stood on the ground, began to charge up a cero and said, "Bring it kid."
Ichigo charged at Ginjo and Ginjo fried a massive cero at Ichigo. With his bankai activated Ichigo effortlessly managed to break through the cero blast and collided with Ginjo!
The collision caused an explosion that destroyed the whole house.
The roof of Ichigo house was now in two pieces. The front door had been completely blown off its hinges and all of the windows were now destroyed. Technically, Ichigo, Karin, Tsukishima, and Ginjo now stood outside.
Tsukishima and Karin stared at Ichigo and Ginjo.
Ichigo stared at the ground panting for air. When he completely stood up there were no apparent wounds on his body. However, Ichigo's exhaustion was now visible.
Ginjo also stared at the ground panting for a couple of seconds and had his hand covering his chest. When he completely stood up and moved his hand from his chest, a wound on his chest was visible and blood poured out of it. A grin however appeared on Ginjo's face.
Ginjo said to Ichigo, "So you did get stronger over the last three weeks. I am impressed."
Ichigo responded by coldly saying, "You are right, I did get stronger. However, it helps that I am battling weaker opponents here than I battled in Hueco Mundo."
Ginjo's grin turned to an annoyed frown and said, "Is that so." Ginjo turned to Tsukishma and said, "Tsukishima, he is yours. Our orders are not to kill him. There is nothing against taking control of him."
Tsukishima smiled, pulled out his sword and said, "Yes, will do."
Tsukishima slowly walked over to the exhausted Ichigo. Once he reached Ichigo, Tsukishima swung his sword at him. Ichigo was prepared to block Tsukishima's sword with his own, however, before Tsukishima's sword could touch Ichigo's, another person jumped in front of Ichigo and allowed the sword to enter straight into his stomach.
Ichigo's eyes widened as he realized that the person who had taken the blow for him was his father, Isshin Kurosaki.
Ichigo said, "Dad. No."
Isshin said, "Ichigo, get Karin to your friends and go save Yuzu. You don't have a lot of time."
Ichigo then said, "Dad."
Isshin then said, "I am very proud of you Ichigo, but go. I know what Tsukishima's power will do to me. GO. GOOOOOOO." Isshin's face began to twitch and said, "I. I. I HAVE TO PROTECT TSUKISHIMA AND KILL ICHIGO."
Ichigo eyes widened and began to back away and once again said, "Dad."
Isshin pulled out his sword and charged at Ichigo. As he got close to Ichigo, Isshin leapt in the air to attack Ichigo when a blue arrow made of Reishi connected straight with his right knee.
Isshin fell to the ground and Ichigo turned around to see Uryu holding his bow and positioning himself to fire another arrow.
Ichigo then said, "Uryu, is that you."
Uryu responded by saying, "Who else would it be. I told you that I would come if I noticed any trouble. You blew the dam roof off of your house when you activated your bankai. I figured that was enough damage for day."
Ichigo looked at his father who had blood pouring out of his right leg and asked Uryu, "What am I supposed to do now."
Uryu answered with a serious look on his face, "Go save Yuzu. I will hold off these two."
Ichigo then said, "No. I am not letting someone else that cares about let themselves get killed or injured because of me."
Uryu said, "Who said anything about me being killed or injured. These two won't touch me. Remember what I told you before we last separated. I am good at fighting from a distance."
Ichigo then flash stepped over to Tsukishima and Karin. Ichigo quickly grabbed Karin and flash stepped over to Uryu.
Ichigo said to Uryu, "Take Karin with you and keep her safe. I'm counting on you Uryu."
Uryu said to Ichigo, "Will do Kurosaki. Good luck."
Suddenly Ginjo said, "Are you two done talking."
Uryu said to Ichigo, "Better get going now."
Ichigo nodded, turned around, and ran away from his house as Uryu fired an arrow made of Reishi at Ginjo.
As Ichigo was running he looked up into the dark sky and hoped that he would be able to rescue his sister. Ichigo began to ran around the neighborhood searching for his sister and after running a couple of blocks, a voice serious voice said,
"Ichigo Kurosaki. What do we have here?"
Ichigo turned around and looked into the unhappy eyes of Ulquiorra Cifer. (If this was a bleach episode this is where the episode would cut to commercials before continuing)
Location: Karakura Town
Current Date: Twenty First Day of Summer
Ichigo looked into the unhappy eyes of Ulquiorra and said, "Ulquiorra. I was told that you were here in Hueco Mundo."
Ulquiorra walked over to Ichigo and said with a frown on his face, "Were you? This doesn't surprise me, Ginjo has mouth on him. What else has he told you?"
Ichigo swung his sword at Ulquiorra in response. Ulquiorra blocked the sword with his arm.
Ichigo said, "I don't have time to deal with you Ulquiorra."
Ulquiorra said, "Is that so. Judging by how you are acting, I assume that Ginjo also told you that Kageroza is supposed to kill your sister in five minutes if you don't agree to come to Hueco Mundo."
Ichigo's eyes widened and Ichigo said, "What. I wasn't told that."
Ulquiorra said, "It seems like you were goaded into a fight."
Ichigo swung his sword at Ulquiorra. Ulquiorra, who had his sword out by now, blocked Ichigo's sword with his own and swung his sword at Ichigo. Ulquiorra's sword just missed Ichigo and Ichigo stepped back.
Ichigo said to Ulquiorra, "Tell me where Yuzu is."
Ulquiorra said, "I am not permitted to tell you that Ichigo."
Ichigo then said, "I see." Ichigo charged at Ulquiorra and said, "I'll just have to make you tell me then. Getsuga Tenshou."
Ichigo fired a Getsuga Tenshou at Ulquiorra. The Getsuga Tenshou collided with Ulquiorra's sword and Ulquiorra was forced to take a couple of steps back in order to block the Getsuga Tenshou.
Ulquiorra than said, "I was shocked by the strength of that Getsuga Tenshou, but still. It was nowhere near strong enough to challenge me Ichigo."
Ichigo charged at Ulquiorra again swung his sword at him. Ichigo once again said, "Tell me where my sister is."
Ulquiorra silently blocked Ichigo's sword and stepped away from Ichigo. Ulquiorra said, "If you want to save your sister as much as you make me think you do, you should stop fighting me and continue searching for her."
Suddenly Ichigo appeared next to Ulquiorra with his sword held next to Ulquiorra's back. Ichigo said, "When it comes to my family, I don't mess around."
Ulquiorra looked up into the sky and said, "I have never said this before to a Soul Reaper, but I'm sorry Ichigo."
"AAAAAHHHHHIIIIIIIII" The high pitch scream could be heard throughout the entire town.
This momentarily distracted Ichigo and Ulquiorra swung his sword at Ichigo's head. Ichigo caught off guard and barely dodged out of the way of Ulquiorra's sword. Ichigo took a couple of steps away from Ulquiorra and Ulquiorra said with a frown on his face,
"I think that gave you a good idea about where you sister is."
Before Ulquiorra had finished his sentence, Ichigo was running away from him, and instead running to where the scream was made.
As Ichigo was running he said to himself, "Hang in there Yuzu. I am almost there."
After running for two minutes Ichigo heard another high pitch scream, "AAAAAHHHHHIIIIIIIII," and began to sprint.
Ichigo yelled out into the air, "IM COMING YUZU."
Thirty seconds later Ichigo ran into an alley where he saw Kageroza standing next to a man in a black sweatshirt with a black hood that shielded all of his face except his eyes.
Ichigo looked across from them and saw Yuzu lying on the ground with two deep wounds on her body. One wound across her stomach and another wound across her chest.
Ichigo yelled, "YUZU," and ran to her.
Yuzu looked at Ichigo and pointed at the man wearing the hood that covered all of his face except his eyes.
Ichigo looked at the eyes of Kageroza's accomplice and realized that this was the same man that killed Nanao.
Ichigo then asked Kageroza and his accomplice, "Who did this?"
Kageroza replied by saying, "We both did."
Suddenly a portal appeared next to Kageroza. Kageroza said, "We will see you in Hueco Mundo soon Ichigo. Or else we will kill someone else close to you."
On the other side of Hueco Mundo, Uryu sits next to Karin in a tree. Uryu had no apparent wounds on him.
Back where Ichigo found Yuzu, Ichigo held Yuzu in his arms as Orihime and Chad suddenly arrived in the ally. Both Chad and Orihime saw Ichigo holding Yuzu in his arms and did not approach Ichigo.
Tears formed in Ichigo's eyes as he said to Yuzu, "Yuzu. I am so sorry Yuzu."
Yuzu smiled, put her right hand on Ichigo's cheek and said, "My brother Ichigo. I love you."
At that moment, Yuzu stopped breath and her head tilted on its side. Yuzu was dead.
More tears flew out of Ichigo's eyes as he yelled in despair "YUZU. OHHH NOO NOO MY SISTER YUZU. WHYYY. YUZU. AHHHHHHH.
Orihime and Chad ran over to Ichigo and put their hands on his back to comfort him. Orihime also had tears pouring out of her eyes put two of her fingers on Yuzu's eye lids and shut them.
Ichigo, with tears running down his face, cradled his dead sister in his arms and said in a quiet but sad tone, "I'm sorry Yuzu."
