Chapter 2: Meeting old friends
"What happened hear...?"
The thirteen captains and their lieutenant looked at the sight in horror. Every single seated officer were hung by their throats on a red string of slime. All of those shinigami were bloodied and gruesomely murdered. There were many claw marks on their bodies as well. It was as if a demon had broke in and massacred them. The Gotei 13 had never seen such a terrifying sight.
"By the looks of it someone escaped the Muken." Mayuri said, finally getting over his shock. He had seen similar scenes like this before but they were never this bad.
"B-But that's impossible." Soifon stuttered out. She was keeping herself from throwing up at the scene. It didn't help that she could smell the horrible stench coming from the lifeless bodies of the seated officers.
The captains and the lieutenants shivered in fear of the thought of someone escaping the Muken. The first person that came to mind was Aizen. What if the bastard somehow managed to escape and he wanted to get revenge on them. They would never survive this time.
Abruptly they heard somebody crawl over to the head captain. It was Chōjirō. His intestines were sticking out of hos body. "Sasakibe! What has happened to you and everyone else!?" Yamamoto yelled out.
Chōjirō could only mutter a few words but everyone couod hear him. "Ichigo Kurosaki...has escaped...and he wants revenge..." Chōjirō coughed up a huge amount of blood before he fell back to the ground and his eyes turned white.
"Sasakibe..Sasakibe!" Yamamoto kept calling out his name but he never got a response. Chōjirō Sasakibe, his lieutenant for two thousand years, was dead.
Karakura town
Ichigo walked through the parks of Karakura, his home town. He was here to have a friendly chat with his old friends and teachers.
And when he said friendly chat he meant he was going to hunt them down and round them all up in one place before murdering them painfully and slowly. But the question he needed to ask himself was how he was gonna kill them. He had been thinking about it ever since he stepped foot in Karakura town but nothing he thought of seemed appropriate enough.
"How about we bite their heads off and pile them up." The voice said.
"Is that the only way you know how to kill?" Ichigo asked sentient being that was now sealed in his body.
"..."
His question was met with silence.
Ichigo shook his head in amusement. "Well I guess I just have to think of something on the spot."
"Before we go looking for your 'friends' I should go over what our new abilities and weaknesses are."
"That would be a smart choice, we wouldn't want to be caught in a situation where we can't properly use our powers or if our enemies are using our weakness against us and we don't even know it."
"Well said. Anyways, for our abilities, we can regenerate at a frieghtning rate, we can open gargantas, we can create any weapon that we can imagine, and we're extremely durably. For our weaknesses, we can only sustain permenant injury to fire and sound."
"Sound?" Ichigo stated incredulously.
"It hurts our eardrums." The voice replied simply.
Urahara Shōten
Kisuke sat down on his small meditating mat as he took a sip of tea. He took a sigh of contentness. After Aizen and Ichigo had been locked away life was much more calm and collected. At first he wasn't too onboard with the plan to lock Ichigo in the Muken but after seeing the results he thought that it was better this way and soon just forgot about Ichigo. The kid caused more problems then he solved anyways. For the past few years he could just sit down and relax and not have to worry about being destroyed.
But suddenly he felt something. It was this dark feeling that someone, that some evil creature was coming out to get him. Urahara searched around the room. But there was nothing. Except for this eerie quietness inside the room. The shopkeeper was quiet for a moment. Then another. Then another. Then he just decided he was going to move to a room with someone else in it. I made him feel childish. He has been around way to long to be afraid of a strange feeling. So he decided to stay put.
Tap!
Tap!
Tap!
The sound almost made him jump. But he recollectee himself. It was probably just another customer. He stood up and walked over to the door. He opened it and to his surprise he didn't see anyone. He thought he might've gotten ding-dong ditched by a couple of kids but then looked down to see a note on the ground. He kneeled over to pick up the note. It read.
Meet me at the park in the middle of Karakura town.
XOXOX
- Yoruichi.
Kisuke's eyes widened at that before his expression turned into a sly grin. Yoruichi must finally be giving into his classic charms and is too shy to say it directly to him.
Ishida household
Three years after locking away Ichigo Orihime and Uryuu had gotten into a relationship and were now living with each other in an apartment while they were in college.
One day Uryuu had gotten home from his part time job. He was greeted by enthusiastic Orihime who hugged him tightly.
"Welcome back Uryuu-Kun!"
"And hello to you to Orihime." He was about to ask her how her day was but he say a note on the table. "Hey what's this?"
"A note it came today in the mail. I was waiting for you to get home so we could read it together."
Ishida opened the note and his eyes widened at what he saw.
I have taken your old highschool friend Tatsuki Arisawa. If you want her back go to the park in the middle of Karakura town. But be quick, I can only be patient for so long. You have until 3:37 before I kill her.
Orihime saw her boyfriends beyond shocked face and decided to read the note for herself.
"We have to go to Karakura park, right now!" Orihime yelled. Even though she and Tatsuki hadn't seen each other for a long time they were still best friends when they were in highschool.
"Wait we need to check the house of Tatsuki-san so we can see if this isn't just some sort of joke."
"Alright, but we need to hurry, it's already 3:20!"
So they went to Tatsuki's house and of course she wasn't there. Could this be the work of the supernatural once more?
Karakura park
Inoue and Ishida ran at full speed to Karakura Park. They didn't know who was doing this but what they did know was that they going to beat the shit out of whoever was keeping their highschool friend captive.
After five minutes of running they finally make it to the park.
"Alright...(Huff)...we're here...(Huff)...but I don't...(Huff)...see her anywhere.." Even though it had been three years Orihime had never excercised once or train her powers.
"Before we freak out let's look everywhere for her." Uryuu suggested.
Before Orihime could concede they heard someone behind them. "Inoue-san and Ishida-san? What are you two doing here?" Suddenly hearing a voice from no where made the both of them widen their eyes and turn around. Orihime activated her powers even though she couldn't use them offensively, she could still defend themselves from whoever it was. Uryuu formed his Heilig Bogen and readied an arrow at...the humble shop owner Kisuke Urahara.
Uryuu raised an eyebrow at him. "Kisuke? What are doing here?"
"I could ask the same of you two." Urahara retorted.
Uryuu sighed and explained everthing about Tatsuki getting abducted by someone and how she had to be right here. Urahara told them about how he got a note from Yoruichi that told him to come to the park. Kisuke thought Yoruichi was finally going to reveal her life long love for him. But Ishidanand Inoue both knew how ridiculous that was.
"Ah, look whomis finally here to reunite. It's quite a good day for us isn't it." A dark voice said behind them. They all turned to see someone who they thought they would never see again.
They saw a maliciously grinning Ichigo Kurosaki. They silently looked at Ichigo in shock.
Ichigo raised a single eyebrow. "Why so quiet all of a sudden? Stage frieght?" He said amused.
Little did he know that was the reason. Ichigo was like a completely different person. The Ichigo they remembered was naive and had a very protective aura, something that was annoying atribute to them. But now Ichigo had this evil murderous aura around him. He even reeked of blood like he had just brutaly killed many others and bathed in their blood.
Uryuu cut the silence as he spoke. "How are you hear Kurosaki." He said trying to keep his voice steady.
"We're glad you asked. We kind of got this cool new enchantment to my body which gave me these overly op abilities even better then my old ones. So taking the opportunity we used said op abilities to break out of the Muken prison." Ichigo said.
"What have you come hear to do, Ichigo?" Urahara asked seriously.
"We've come start my plans on revenge." Before they could ask what he meant Ichigo pointed at two trees behind them. The trees had been quite hiden from them. One tree had Tatsuki hanging off a nuce on a tree. Her eyes were white and lifeless. On the other tree had Yoruichi leaning on it. She had been impaled multiple times in the stomach and there was blood dripping from her mouth.
"TATSUKI!" Orihime screamed in absolute horror. She ran ober to both of the dead bodies and tried to use her healing abilities on them but it wasn't working.
"Don't waste your energy sweetheart, you don't have nearly enough mastery over your powers to bring people back from the dead."
Finally realising she couldn't do anything to help, Inoue cried into her hands. Ichigo chuckled. He took great enjoyment in watching her feel so much pain. He stoped for a moment and casually tilted his head back a few inches to avoid a Heilig Pfeil.
Ichigo smirked and turned to Uryuu. "What's wrong? Why so angry all of a sudden?"
"Ichigo, for making Inoue cry, I will kill you!" Ishida said darkly.
"That's what I like to see! Bring it on!" Ichigo cackled. Red formed around him as he turned into his carnage mode.
"What the hell is that?!" Urahara and Uryuu yelled.
But they didn't have much time to think. Ichigo's arms turned into blades and he rushed at the two.
"Awaken, Benihime!" Kisuke said. His cane turned into a chokuto sword. "Chikasumi no Tate." A shield appeard infront of them. But as soon as one of Ichigo's blades hit the shield it shattered. Their eyes widened. Uryuu and Kisuke split up.
"Nake, Benihime!" A large energy blast shot towards Ichigo and the attack connected. The attacked did some damage too. Urahara smiled in relief. But it only lasted for a short while because soon Ichigo's wound healed completely in seconds.
Then suddenly an arrow lodged itself into Ichigo's skull. Urahara used this moment to attack. "Shibari, Benihime." An energy net fell onto Ichigo causing him fall to the ground. Ichigo just chuckled darkly. "Is this truly the best you can do? If it s then you would be better off dead."
Ichigo used his blades to easily cut through the net and prepared to kill the both of them.
But before he could do that he was hit with a large amount of ice.
I feel like that's a good place to stop. And guess what? I'm finally back! But don't expect consistent updates because I'm still in school.
Notes:
1. I really like writing dialouge with this evil Ichigo, it helps me write more of this story.
2. Every time Ichigo goes from human form to Carnage I'll just call it Carnage mode because its annoying to write red slime forming around Ichigo's body.
Anyways I'll see you guys in the next chapter!
(Probably 3 to 4 weeks from now.)
But who knows maybe I'll get on out by thanksgiving.
