Ichigo's Random Summons
Greetings, my dear readers. It has been many months since I last updated this story. As I said in my trailer for the upcoming story, Tainted and Unclean, my job has been keeping me extremely busy. There was also a family crisis over the last two months involving a family member with kidney collapse. Luckily, said member is recovering well. But enough of that. So now, it is time for you all to sit back and enjoy this new chapter.
Summary:
Ichigo achieved his goal of becoming a normal person after defeating Aizen. However, he finds out that it isn't as he imagined as regret clouds his conscious as he is forced to watch his friends leave class to sort out problems with Hollows. However, all changes when by some FATE, he meets a crazy old man who gifts him a small box. A small box holding 13 gold tarot-like cards. Each card being different from the other…

Chapter 18 – Rhongomyniad Part 1
A loud grunt could be heard as Ichigo was pushed back by roundhouse kick he managed to block with some difficulty. The attacker being none other than one Shihouin Yoruichi. The mocha-skinned woman grins at Ichigo, lowering her left leg.
"Not bad, Ichigo. You did a lot better than Byakuya when he was younger." The former Squad 2 Captain declared, making the orange haired male scoff.
"I'd prefer not to be compared to Byakuya, Yoruichi-san." Ichigo grumbled as he rubs the back of his right palm, a faint red mark appearing there. "I still don't know why I have to train in Hakuda, when my Zanpakuto was more than enough to handle my foes."
"That may be the case, but strengthening your body also strengthens your soul, Ichigo. Besides, right now you don't have a Zanpakuto and you can't use Kido, so Hakuda is the best solution for you." Yoruichi retorted, before grinning. "Well, your training in Hakuda is done for the day, so go rest up in the hot springs."
Ichigo sighed whilst shaking his head, a small smile on his face as he nodded towards his trainer. Despite being a full year since he gave up his powers to defeat the traitorous Shinigami, Aizen, Yoruichi is one of the few people who treated him the same and not as fragile glass. And he appreciated that.
Ichigo was walking home after soaking in the hot spring, an annoyed expression on his face as Yoruichi messed with him by joining him, albeit in her cat form. He would never admit it, but deep down he hoped she would join in her human form. She was the first woman he had ever seen naked, after all, and he admired her beauty as much as any hot-headed teenager. However, he had more control than others, like his friend Keigo.
As he reached his house, he was rubbing his hand more over the "bruise", noting it was starting to itch. He would then blink as an elderly man with a white beard and crimson-red eyes left the clinic part of the house. The smile that said elderly man gave him put him on edge, his instincts telling him this was no ordinary person.
"Looks like you're gonna have a hell of fun with this one~." Zelretch said in a cryptic manner as he passed Ichigo, a golden card leaving his gloved hand unseen by Ichigo as it entered his pocket.
Ichigo spun around to demand answers, only to see an empty street. His paranoia grew as he rushed into his home, knowing full well that that old man was not normal and no normal human could disappear that fast. As he opened the door, his fist was already in front of him before his father could surprise him, making Isshin surprised that Ichigo responded long before he made an attack as his face met his son's face.
"You've learned well… my son…" The Kurosaki patriarch groaned as he collapsed to the floor, his body twitching every now and then.
Ichigo sighed as he headed upstairs to his room, lazily greeting his sisters as he passed them. Once inside his room, he collapsed onto his bed. He would then blink as he felt something slightly hard press against his thigh. Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out a golden card with the figure of a spearman with a feather hat.
"What the hell? Where did this come from?"
As he asked this, in his mind eye, he saw a shrouded vision of two people fighting, one mortally wounded from a sword, the other being impaled by a wicked-looking lance. Shaking his head to clear his vision, he placed the card on his desk, never noticing the bruise on his hand begin to change into a faded-looking tattoo.
Over the course of the next few days, Ichigo would continue to have strange dreams and visions showing faceless figures in European knight armour. He didn't say anything to his friends or mentors about it, even when training Hakuda and Zanjetsu with Yoruichi and Urahara respectively. What he also didn't know is that the marks on his hand was giving off a strong feeling that Hollows could sense whilst the others could not.
In fact, this could be sensed all the way to the world of the Hollows, Hueco Mundo. One Hollow grinned as it opened a Garganta and left the Hollow Forest.
"Maybe this will be the one that completes my evolution to Vasto Lorde~~"
As this all happened, Ichigo was currently talking to Keigo, Mizuiro and Chad. As they were walking near the main park, he noticed that all three stopped to look at the sky in shock. While he could not see it, a ripple and tear could be seen in the sky as a gaping maw was forced open, revealing the void behind the monstrous Adjuchas Hollow stepping out. It was hallway between the size of an elephant and a human, its muscular arms bulging, its fox-like mask eyeing the group.
Chad took a stance as both arms get covered with his powers whilst Mizuiro and Keigo took a few steps backwards, Ichigo grimacing as he knew that he could do nothing to help his best friend.
"Ichigo, run. This is a powerful Holl-" Before Chad could finish, he was sent flying into a nearby tree, grunting in pain as he collided into as spit escaped his mouth. This caused the other three to widen their eyes in shock at this.
Not needing to be told twice, they took off, Keigo and Mizuiro running in one direction whilst Ichigo the other. The Hollow looked around between the them, before its glowing yellow eyes settled on Ichigo.
"Ahhh, so there's my meal~"
"La Muerte!"
As the Hollow prepared to follow Ichigo, it was socked in the face by Chad's left fist. The impact of said fist only lasted for a second before the Hollow was sent flying into the wall of the park's bathrooms, the impact making a hellish face appear on the wall. The Hollow growled as it got itself out of the wall, only to pause as it saw bits of its mask fall of its face. Its eyes widen at this, before they went from yellow to red, its body shaking in rage.
Chad's eyes widen at the explosive and crushing Reiatsu coming from the Hollow as it roared in rage, the ground cratering underneath it. To Chad, it felt almost as powerful when he faced the Arrancars. While weaker than the Espada that defeated him with ease, it was more powerful than he ever faced alone in a Hollow. And due to the Adjuchas releasing its entire anger in its Reiatsu, it could be sensed no only throughout Karakura Town, but in the Science Department of Squad 12 in the Soul Society.
Despite not being able to sense or see the threat, Ichigo felt unnaturally sluggish, which in turn made him uneasy and worried for his best friend. As he ran, he felt something vibrate in his pants pocket. Fishing it out, he paused as he saw it was the Class Card given to him by the old man a few days prior.
Sensing that it was important, despite not knowing, he allowed Fate to guide him as he threw it towards the ground and focused his all onto the card as it begun to glow brightly, along with the red tattoos on his right hand. The light then expanded as a large figure started to come out of the light. And when the light cleared, Ichigo could only gape at what stood before him.
A large, black horse stood before him, covered in dark armour and had glowing red eyes. However, it was the figure upon the horse that gained Ichigo's attention Dark blue, draconic-looking armour covered the figure head to toe, with a skirt flowing from the hips up to the knees. Where the eyes were, were glowing yellow lights. Then there was the wicked-looking lance with red spikes sticking out of it in random areas held in the figure's right hand.
The horse snorted as it was guided by its rider to trod towards Ichigo. The helmet would then open itself and retreat behind the figure's head, akin to that of Gundum helmet. This in turn revealed the figure's face, showing it was a mature woman with pale platinum coloured hair and cold, yellow eyes. There was no doubt that this woman was beautiful, yet deadly at the same time.
"Lancer-class, Artoria. Just as my beloved steed can swallow the thunder, my lance will pierce through my enemy's walls. I will crush all who dare stand in my way." She greeted him, her voice just as cold as her gaze. Her eyes then narrowed as she saw Ichigo not move at all, nodding slightly at him. "I ask this of you: are you my Master?"
*END OF CHAPTER*
And we end with a cliff hanger! With uur second Artoria chapter, but a proper Artoria instead of Servant Verse one like X and X Alter. While not my longest or best chapter, I hope it was entertaining for you all. Now, before going to the reviews, I'm sure you're all asking: why is Chad struggling against a Adjuchas? Well this one is on the crisp of evolving into a Vasto Lorde, extremely powerful Hollows that even the Captains fear to face. As for how strong I made it, it will be in between the 6th Espada and 7th Espada in terms of power. It is slightly stronger than the Winter War Grimmjow, but not by much. Now without ado, onto the reviews!
Guest: He can, but these chapters will take place in the 17 months timeline between Ichigo's loss of powers and the Fullbringers, meaning no Shinigami outside Urahara, Yoruichi, Tessai and the Vizards will appear.
Guest: I am confused? What has this got to do with someone named Don? Are you even reviewing the correct story?
Sagely Sage: You're most welcome.
freddy . lane . 1: Ushi is a good girl. I believe in the Idol event that comes out next year sees her and a few others in unique Sprit Dresses.
Guest: I'm aware of that. Even Ajax, one of the famous Greek heroes from the Trojan War, can be considered as a Shielder. Especially when EMIYA uses Ajax's shield, Rho Aias. But alas, I am only going with the FGO Servant roster. Meaning other servants that appear outside FGO mobile and arcade will not appear in this story.
Guest: I am doing good, thanks. I understand the worry, but I am still here

However, regarding the Digimon and the Adventure Still Continues story I have adopted from Crest Power Combining, I already have all the chapters he updated saved up. All I will do is adapt them to my style and make a few changes here and there. But after this chapter, expect a chapter from Mahou Sensei Ichigo first. Until then, I will see you all next time. You have received a new chapter by MR. DEATH RIDER, have a good day.
