A/N Hey, guys. This is the first crossover story and it's my first time doing it, so please bare with me if I get any of my facts wrong. This is a crossover of the anime series Bleach and the supernatural series Legacies. This takes place just after The Lost Agent manga arc and the first season of Legacies. The crossover focuses on the Substitute Soul Reaper Ichigo Kurosaki travelling in the bridge of the Dangai Precipice World to the Soul Society from the world of the living. But when he finds himself in a small town of Mystic Falls, he enrolled himself to Mystic Falls High School and he meets Josie Saltzman for the first time. And the character pairing is Ichigo and Josie. So sit back, and let's get to it, shall we?
I don't own the characters and the storyline of both series. All of them belong to Bleach manga series creator Tite Kubo and the creators of Legacies.
Substitute Soul Reaper Ichigo Kurosaki travelled through the Dangai precipice world from the world of the living to the Soul Society, he never understood the time difference aspect of the bridge that connects both worlds. While he was running, he heard a loud rumbling sound echoing through the Dangai, making him stop in his tracks.
'What the hell was that?' he wondered, looking around in panic.
At the moment, he felt there was an earthquake of some kind. The shaking had stopped no sooner than expected. But the Substitute Soul Reaper looked around for the sources of the danger. The cleaner was nowhere in sight, and this concerned him even more.
'If the cleaner isn't causing the rumbling, what the hell is causing it?' he wondered.
The substitute continued to stay in a standstill for a moment, after which he collected himself and slowly began walking forward, his brown eyes continuing to scan the surrounding areas to the air on the side of caution.
A few seconds later, the rumbling began once more, but only this time, it was much larger in scale. The restrictive current that had lined the sides of the Dangai started to flow at a rapid pace, faster than Ichigo had seen before. And the ground itself started to move in a wayward fashion.
'Dammit, what the hell is happening?!' he thought, as he struggled to maintain his balance despite the fact that he was doing his best to remain unmovable.
The floor of the precipice world started to shift and turn in random directions, causing the Substitute Soul Reaper to panic in a great deal given that he knew he has no longer control over of where he was heading to. He could only pray that he wouldn't get slammed into the restrictive current, and that's what he did.
Afterwards, the shifting floor on which the substitute stood began to move in a fashion that clearly suggested it was about to slam into the wall of the Dangai precipice world, directly into the flowing ooze like substance that lined its sides.
'Just my luck...' he thought, immediately after which he felt himself being thrusted into the restrictive current.
Just before this happened, Ichigo knew very well it would be unpleasant at this point. He had simply hoped that the substance lining the walls was only half as vile and disgusting at the same time as it appeared, and even then being absorbed by it would still hold the potential that it would be one of the worst experiences in his entire life.
Mystic Falls, Virginia
In the small town of Mystic Falls, after being humiliated in their loss to the Mystic Falls High School in the football game, some of the students from Salvatore School for the Gifted got sent to clean up as a part of the punishment they received for their involvement in a fight. All for except Hope Mikaelson.
While she was picking up the trash, she and Josie Saltzman looked as a hole in space appeared in the skies. It was a rectangular in shape, and the insides appeared to be not be a blindingly shade of blue.
"What is that?" asked Josie.
The fact that the gate shot into existence, however, was soon made to be second most surprising thing about it. Something that appeared to have the shape of a man shot out of it shortly after it appeared, the form of which was covered in smoke.
Whatever had so suddenly appeared on a nearby street rather easily, still covered in the remaining smoke as the ethereal portal closed just as quickly as it had come into existence.
The witch and the tribid just stared blandly as the smoke finally disappeared off of the man's form. They saw someone that appeared to be no older than eighteen years of age. He had orange hair, brown eyes, and appeared to be fairly tall.
He was wearing a black kimono, a thick red strap that ran across his chest, had tattoo like bands crossing over his chest, wrists, and ankles, standard looking sandals, and mostly perhaps strangely of all, spotted a large cleaver like sword wrapped in white cloth across his back.
"Where did he come from?" asked Josie.
"What the hell was that?" asked Ichigo as he got up.
The Substitute Soul Reaper looked around his surroundings briefly, a look of mild confusion written on his face. Internally he was extremely glad that the restrictive current hadn't killed him outright, however if it hadn't killed him, he knew it had to be something else. If it had just spit him out in some random place within the world of the living that'd just be too good to be true, and with his luck that was never the case.
'Okay… this is definitely not right.' Ichigo thought, noticing the odd architecture of the surrounding area and the general feel he got from wherever he was.
He turned a moment later to look at what appeared to be a female with brown hair and brown eyes, about a year younger than him, and another female with dark brown or auburn hair and blue eyes.
"Yeah… this is definitely not right." Ichigo muttered to himself before releasing a sigh of extreme annoyance.
"Um, who are you?" asked Josie.
"I'm…" Ichigo began.
Before he could fully make his reply the sound of yet another portal's opening, the very same as that which had previously been created, had cut him off. Each of those present once again looked as what Ichigo knew to be a Senkaimon as yet again something was cast out of it in a puff of smoke.
Ichigo, who had been the closest to this event's unfolding, narrowed his eyes skeptically in order to see who or what it was. The form of it was clearly a man but it was currently falling so quickly he seemed to be knocked out or unable to collect himself, which meant it was possibly just a normal human. Whoever it was wore clothes typical of where he was from and had orange hair, the sight of which caused a realization to dawn on the freshly arrived Substitute Soul Reaper.
'Wait a minute…' Ichigo thought.
He began to panic the very second that he realized the falling man was in fact his own body, and he knew very well that it was in no way capable of stopping itself from hitting the dirt like a rock.
Each of the others present sweatdropped at the sight of the orange-haired man diving across another street to grab what looked like an exact replica of himself. However, the freshly arrived version seemed to be wearing much more normal clothing though they were obviously still foreign.
'What the hell?!' Ichigo wondered, glaring angrily at the sky. None of what had just happened made any sense to him, and even more so he didn't even know where he was.
'Even if I'm here somehow it doesn't make sense that my body would follow.' Ichigo thought in an annoyed fashion.
A moment later he reached into his pocket so as to check for something, and he almost let out a hard sigh of relief upon feeling the shape and texture of his Substitute Soul Reaper's Badge. He recalled not leaving it on his body, and quite frankly if he didn't have the thing with him now he either wouldn't have been able to access his powers after entering his body, or he would have had to drag his body around so he wouldn't be powerless twenty-four-seven.
From the perspective of everyone else, this was also true in that nothing made sense to them. This random person dressed so strangely just appeared out of nowhere and a moment later what looked to be a differently dressed unconscious version of himself followed. Certainty this cracked the strangeness scale for each of them.
'Wait, why are there two of them?' Josie and Hope thought similiarly.
The Substitute Soul Reaper looked over at the two females an instant later, but he paused after realizing something he hadn't before.
'Wait… they can all see me. Even if one of them has spirit energy that doesn't explain why the other one can clearly see me.' Ichigo thought.
Ichigo felt out the air around him, however doing so confused him more so than prior. He could definitely sense that there was something within the air as far as he could tell, but he didn't know for the life of him what it was. It wasn't spiritual energy, as it would have a feel more akin to Hueco Mundo or the Soul Society, even the world of the living to a degree, but at the same time it was of the same abundance.
'Maybe whatever energy is in wherever I am is allowing them to see me…' Ichigo thought.
Moreover, he could feel a certain power emanating off of the bodies of most everyone in the city. It again was definitely not spirit energy, but it still existed. His thoughts, however, were rather rudely interrupted before he could consider anything more.
"Sorry to interrupt your thougths, but I asked who are you?" Josie repeated.
"Sorry about that…" Ichigo began.
"My name is Ichigo Kurosaki, Substitute Soul Reaper. Can you tell me where who you are and where we are exactly?" Ichigo questioned.
"You're in Mystic Falls, Virginia." Hope clarified.
"Wait, am I in America?" Ichigo questioned, causing most present to deadpan.
"You can say it like that." Josie commented.
Ichigo then picked up his body before he entered as his body comes to life. Josie stood there in shock, wondering how the Substitute Soul Reaper's human body came to life.
"What? You've never seen someone's body coming to life?" he asked.
"It's weird seeing how you dressed like a samurai." Josie replied.
"I apologize for my friend here. I'm Hope Mikaelson, and this is Josie Saltzman." said Hope.
"Well, considering that I'm stuck here in America and can't find a way back to my home, I guess I can stick around until there is something that can open the portal get me back home." said Ichigo.
And that will be it for the first chapter and the introduction of the Bleach and Legacies crossover. So what do you guys think so far? Let me know how I did because I have a lot to figure out on how to make this crossover story as realistic as possible. And I need to come up with some ideas if I want to continue writing this crossover project. Also, I might need some help as well. I'll reach out to one of you in case I need some help.
