Chapter 3: Ichigo's new adventure is about to unfold part 3
The next day Ichigo woke up, he felt a bit more relaxed the training he had with Jushiro helped out a bit and he felt a bit more control of his hollow powers now he has 3 captains that have hollow powers as well and this time they're not going to hold back this time.
He decided to squad 5 with Shinji to start things off since they met first.
When he got to the squad 5 barracks, he managed to find Shinji in his quarters listening to some music he got from the living world.
"Hey there Shinji." Said Ichigo.
"So Ichigo you picked me." Said Shinji.
"Yeah and I thought why not start with the guy who pestered me to try join the Vizards and get it over with." Said Ichigo.
Shinji got annoyed with that statement but couldn't deny it since it was true.
"Good point, but if it wasn't for the vizards and I you would've been dead a long time ago by your inner hollow." Shinji said.
"Yeah, yeah." Said Ichigo.
"Well then, let's head for the training grounds and get started. Don't worry I send the squad to go help out with the others and Momo to squad 10 to mess with Toshiro." Said Shinji.
"Good we can train without anyone getting in the way and I hope that Kenpachi doesn't come over here." Ichigo said annoyed.
"Don't worry Ichigo, remember Kenpachi is a bit lousy with directions remember?" Shinji laughed.
Ichigo let out a small chuckle know that statement was a bit true.
Soon they arrived at one of squad 5's training grounds.
They then took their positions.
"Ok Ichigo get ready." Said Shinji.
Both of them drew their swords and took their stances.
"Ok Ichigo let's see how well you do with Hollowfication in your Shikai." Said Shinji.
"Alright then Shinji." Said Ichigo.
Ichigo then dons on his mask and then wielded Zangetsu ready to go.
"Ok then Ichigo are you ready?" Shinji asked.
"Yes." Said Ichigo.
Soon the 2 began sparring and clashing swords.
"Heh, not bad it seems the training with full-bring hasn't dulled your swordsman moves Ichigo." Said Shinji.
"True, but I have learn a thing or two." Said Ichigo.
Ichigo vanished and then appeared behind Shinji to attack only to get blocked.
"Nice try Ichigo." Said Shinji.
"Tch." He said.
Ichigo flash-stepped away and then fired a Getsuga Tensho at Shinji who dodged it only to get a kick in the back by Ichigo.
"Got you." Ichigo said.
"Not bad Ichigo, you did improve now then." Shinji said as he dons his mask. "Let's take this to the other level."
"Ok then Shinji let's go!" said Ichigo.
The two continued to go at it, and now with their masks on their powers increased and their spiritual pressure rises.
Both of them continued to spar for about 4 hours, they blocked, countered and fired off some shots and when Ichigo was able to block Shinji's attack and then flash step behind him.
"Getsuga Tenshoooooooooo!" he said and fired his attack.
"Nice try Ichigo, a good move but predicable." Said Shinji.
He then block the attack with his sword holding it at bay.
"Tch. I thought you do that Shinji." Said Ichigo as he came up behind him and he raised his sword.
"Getsuga Tensho."
He fired the blast at close range and then came a explosion and Ichigo reappeared on the arena.
He was panting hard as his mask crumbled away as he was spent of his energy.
"Got you." He said as his voice was back to normal.
"Close but no cigar Ichigo." Shinji said appearing in front of him.
Shinji was worn out and his clothes were a bit torn and burned and he was covered in scrapes and bruises and bit of scorch marks on his clothing.
"How?" said Ichigo.
"I counter it with a barrier that reduce the attack in half, but it still stung though." He said.
"But you have managed to maintain your Hollowfication for about 4 hours before it breaks, that's impressive Ichigo." He continued.
"Thanks." Said Ichigo.
"Well then let's call it a day and we can pick it up tomorrow, head back and get some rest." Said Shinji.
Ichigo nodded and the 2 left the grounds.
Ichigo headed back to squad 13 barracks for a much needed rest, when he came across Renji and Izuru walking around.
"Hey guys." Ichigo greeted.
"Hey Ichigo where are you coming from?" asked Renji.
"From squad 5 been training with Shinji." Ichigo answered.
"Whoa he must've not gone easy on you." Said Izuru.
"Yep and we're picking where we left off tomorrow." Said Ichigo.
"Ok then, well then come have dinner with us, you must be hungry." Said Renji.
"Ok then, but no sake." Said Ichigo.
So Ichigo went with the Lieutenants to a restaurant where they had some sushi and other food and Ichigo had some water and some tea as he didn't want to wake up with a hangover.
After dinner Ichigo returned to squad 13 barracks and was getting ready to sleep, when he heard his inner hollow calling for him.
"Hey King if you want to use more of my power then there is something I can help you with." He said and told him.
So the next day, Ichigo continued training with Shinji and his Hollowfication limit increases, he can now Hollowfy for up to about 5 hours and he was still using his Shikai and his attacks were getting stronger and his movements were getting better.
For Ichigo it was like getting the cobwebs off of him, his body feeling a bit more flexible and getting the joints to move like they used to and he would be ready to take some really tough foes.
They continued to spar for 3 more days and now it was time to put Ichigo's inner hollow's plan into motion.
In their latest spar, Ichigo used his Bankai and was able to keep up with Shinji while he was Hollowfy.
"Impressive Ichigo, very impressive you have indeed learned a lot and gotten but now let's you can handle THIS!" Shinji said.
Shinji then gathers energy that is displayed in a horizontal line at his fist.
Ichigo realized that he was going to fire a Cero and decided to act fast.
He placed his hand on his mask to generate something on it and it happened to be a pair of horns that were the one he had while he went Vasto Lorde 2 years back but they were half the size but it will still work for Ichigo.
He began gathering energy between the tips of his horns and formed a sphere.
"What the hell? Is Ichigo going to do what I think he is?" said Shinji.
Both of them had finished charging up their attacks and now it was time to fire.
"CERO!" they both said at the same time and they both fired.
The two attack collided making a huge explosion that obscured Shinji's vision and he wonders where Ichigo was.
"Right behind you."
Shinji quickly turned around and blocked Ichigo's attack but Ichigo knew he was going to do that and he placed his left hand on the blade and then said the words.
"Getsuga Tensho!"
Shinji was engulfed by the attack and was sent flying through the walls of the training grounds and through 5 trees before he stopped on the 6th and was injured pretty bad, his clothing and coat were scorched and has some tear and his mask was broken in half and was panting hard and there was some blood on him.
Ichigo catch up to him and placed his sword on his shoulder.
"Are you alright Shinji?" asked Ichigo.
"Yeah I'm ok just didn't expect that Cero coming from you, good thing I throw up the barrier to half the attack or I'll be roasted, but still ow." He said as he dismissed the mask and got a good look at Ichigo's.
"Ichigo your mask has horns now." Said Shinji.
Ichigo then dismissed his mask as well.
"Yeah well it's something that my inner hollow came up with and well this was the 1st time I did without going full hollow and I will tell you this Shinji It's not easy to do for the first time so maybe you can help me do some practice." Ichigo said.
Shinji chuckled and said "Of course Ichigo but we do need to move to a wider area to practice Ceros."
Ichigo nodded and they both headed back since training was done.
The next 3 days Ichigo and Shinji traveled to some forest to practice Ceros and Shinji really put Ichigo through the grinder, he had to learn when to use a Cero and even find another way to fire one without the horns and so Ichigo try something a bit different.
He held out 2 of his finger tips of his left hand and then began charging up a Cero as the red sphere forms.
"Ok Ichigo now fired at those targets." Said Shinji.
"CERO!" he said and fired it taking out the targets and they were destroyed.
Then Shinji disappeared and then reappeared above Ichigo with his sword drawn ready to strike.
But Ichigo was able to counter and then raising his spirit energy he was able to knock Shinji back and then came in charging and this time with enough force he was able to knock Shinji's sword out of his hands and it landed in the ground behind him and Ichigo now had Shinji where he wanted him with the blade pointed at his throat.
"Well Shinji I think I would called this checkmate." Said Ichigo with a smirk.
Shinji smirked back and he admit defeat.
"Well done Ichigo that was very good you have learned a lot and kicked my ass a couple of times and you increased your Hollowfication and learn to do Cero without going full hollow, I have a feeling you use it for many combinations in the future, so to put it simply your training with squad 5 is complete you passed." Said Shinji.
"Thanks Shinji, not bad for a Vizard." Said Ichigo.
"Look who's talking." Shinji said back.
The 2 shared a big laugh and when they calmed down, Shinji went to get his sword and placed it back in its sheath.
"Well then I think it's time we return back, I'll let the others know that you passed and I'll come by Squad 13 tomorrow to help you choose which Vizard you train under next." Said Shinji.
"Ok then." Replied Ichigo.
"But first you can come out now Momo." Shinji said.
Just then the Lt of squad 5 appeared in front of them.
"Hello Captain Hirako, Ichigo." Said Momo.
"What are you doing here Momo?" asked Shinji.
"Sorry sir, but I came with a message from the head captain he wants to have a word with you right away." She said.
"Alright then, come on Ichigo let's head back I'll see you tomorrow to help you decided which Vizard captain you're training under next." Said Shinji.
Soon the 3 left the forest and return back, but on the way Momo kept glancing at Ichigo and she wonders what makes him so unique?
When they got back, they went their ways and Ichigo had some dinner and then a good soak in the hot springs and then went to bed but not before talking to his inner hollow in his inner world.
"Well King that was very good, you developed a bit more of your killing instincts." He said.
"Thanks Shiro." Said Ichigo.
His inner hollow was confused why Ichigo called him that and he explained he had to call his hollow something and his inner hollow nodded at the logic.
"Well then King there's a combo I wanted to tell you, but it's risky." Said Shiro.
So Shiro told Ichigo about it and he was intrigued and wonders if he can try it soon.
"Well then King I wanted to talk more but it's time for rest so get your ass outta here." Said Shiro.
"Ok then later." Said Ichigo and he left.
Soon Ichigo return back and then went to sleep.
The next morning Ichigo woke up, went to get wash up, then had some breakfast and then got in some sword practice.
"Well then training as usual Ichigo?"
Ichigo turned to see Ukitake and Shinji walking up to him.
"Oh hey guys." Said Ichigo.
He then put his sword on his back.
"So Shinji you said you can help me decide which Vizard Captain I go to next?" Ichigo asked.
"Indeed I do Ichigo. Shinji said with a Cheshire smile.
Shinji then pulled a coin out of his sleeve.
Ichigo saw that the coin had markings on it, on one side had the symbol for 3 and the symbol for 9.
"Ok Ichigo this is simple, I'll do one coin toss and you have to call either 3 or 9 and what ever it lands on that's the squad you go to next." Said Shinji.
"Ok then Shinji do it." Said Ichigo.
Shinji then toss the coin in the air, the 3 watched it do flips and then it came down and Shinji caught it and then placed it on the top of his right hand.
"Ok Ichigo call it." Said Shinji.
Ichigo then said "I pick…."
(Well then Ichigo has went through some training from Shinji and got a bit more help from his Inner hollow who he calls Shiro now, now he can produce horns on his mask and can do Cero from the tips of his horns or from his hands and he passed Shinji's training, now he had to decide which one to go next and Shinji helped him out with the ol' coin toss and now what is the result? Which Vizard captain Ichigo will go train with next? Find out next time.)
