Kon'nichiwa [Translation of Hello]
Ichigo stood there. Watching the Quincies travel to the Reioukyuu. The other Shinigami arrived near Ichigo.
"Ichigo!" Rukia cried out. "We need to get a plan before the Quincies arrive at the Reioukyuu."
"Don't worry. It is part of the Soul King's plan." Ichigo said.
"What?" Rukia asked. Ichigo turned to the other Shinigami that stood around him.
"How many Shinigami did the Royal Guard take?" Ichigo asked.
"Five," Renji replied.
"Who," Ichigo said.
"You, me, Rukia, Kuchiki-Taichō and…" Renji said before realizing the missing Shinigami.
"Yamamoto," Ichigo answered. "Now then, everything is according to Soul King's plan," Ichigo said. Everyone realized that Yūhabahha was heading to the Reioukyuu has planned. "For the next phase, I need to talk to Ukitake privately," Ichigo said. Ukitake walked towards Ichigo. Ichigo pulled Ukitake to a clearing with a bench. Ichigo then cast various privacy kidō to prevent anyone from seeing or hearing what is going on.
"So Ichigo-kun, what do you need to talk about?" Ukitake asked.
"I need to talk to Mimihagi," Ichigo said.
"WHAT!?" Ukitake yelled, surprised that Ichigo knows about Mimihagi. "What are you talking about Ichigo-kun?" Ukitake asked, trying to avoid suspicion.
"Ukitake look at my eyes," Ichigo said. Ukitake was confused. Ichigo's eyes were the same brown as he has seen before. Ichigo shapeshifted his eyes back to normal. Ukitake suddenly could see Ichigo's eyes are black sclera while his pupil now has white dots that are spinning in a galaxy spiral. Suddenly Ukitake's body began to shake violently. Ukitake was forced to open his mouth as black reishi shot out of his mouth and began to shape into an arm with a clenched right fist, and a single, large eye on the back of the fist.
"Hello new King of Souls," Mimihagi said.
"Hello Mimihagi," Ichigo replied.
"So, it's time to reunite the fragments from the homunculus?" Mimihagi asked.
"Somewhat," Ichigo said. The old King of Souls has lost his position and Amaterasu has given it to me." Ichigo said.
"You are aware that the Left Hand and the Heart are with Yūhabahha," Mimihagi said.
"I am now," Ichigo said. "Also, if you leave your host, what happens?" Ichigo asked.
"Then his illness will resume and likely kill him," Mimihagi said.
"Is there any way to stop it?" Ichigo asked.
"Unfortunately, it was something I was born with." Ukitake said.
"Explain," Ichigo said.
"When I was three, I developed an unknown variation of lung disease. Many doctors in the area abandoned me because those doctors didn't believe I could be cured. In a last-ditch effort, my parents took me to Mimihagi's shrine, and they prayed for Mimihagi to take my lungs away. Somehow Mimihagi appeared and took my lungs. In exchange, I became the living host of Mimihagi. This allowed me to survive and become a Shinigami." Ukitake said.
"Mimihagi, will you need to be with me when I truly claim the position?" Ichigo asked.
"Well… it is likely the best especially if you managed to get the left hand and the heart." Mimihagi answered.
"I see," Ichigo said. "Mimihagi, are there any ways to heal Ukitake and allow him to live?" Ichigo asked.
"Kurosaki-kun you don't-" Ukitake said.
"I do. The reason is that I will need you and the surviving Captains to help rebuilt Soul Society." Ichigo said. Then Ichigo got a brilliant and risky idea. "Mimihagi, what will happen to Ukitake if you leave his body?" Ichigo asked.
"If I leave Ukitake's body he will continue to function without the body part that was offered," Mimihagi answered.
"So, if you leave Ukitake's body, Ukitake will function without lungs," Ichigo said, clarifying the detail.
"Correct," Mimihagi answered.
"Ukitake, I need a sample of your blood, your body size, tissue type," Ichigo said.
"What?" Ukitake questioned.
"I will need that information to find a compatible set of lungs for you," Ichigo said.
"A new set of lungs!?" Ukitake said. "The World of the Living has progressed that far?" Ukitake asked.
"Indeed. This will be one of the things that I change; make the Soul Society more aware of the things in the World of the Living." Ichigo said.
"I…" Ukitake said, still trying to remember what Ichigo needed from him.
"I will bring Unohana-taichō into this later," Ichigo said to Ukitake.
"Um… Unohana-taichō is no longer with us." Ukitake said.
"I see… who is running Fourth Division?" Ichigo asked.
"The current captain of Fourth Division is Kotetsu Isane." Ukitake said.
"After this war is over, I will bring Isane into this discussion to help me get the necessary samples," Ichigo said.
"Yes please," Ukitake said. Mimihagi decided that the conversation was done and slipped back into Ukitake's body. With that said, Ichigo released the privacy kidō. Ichigo and Ukitake returned to the main group who was trying to hear word on what is going on with Royal Guard and seeing the current status on anyway to get to Reioukyuu. Ichigo looked at his watch.
"Looks like it's showtime," Ichigo said.
"Showtime?" Rukia asked.
"Yep. Time for this war to finish up." Ichigo said.
"But Ichigo, how are you going to get up to Reioukyuu?" Renji asked.
"Simple," Ichigo said as the group subtly moved closer together, trying to figure out what way they all can use to get up to Reioukyuu. "I fly," Ichigo said. "Come Kisara!" Ichigo yelled out as a massive white dragon appeared next to Ichigo and let out a mighty roar. Ichigo used shunpō to jump on Kisara's head. With her master on board, Kisara let out another roar and began to fly upwards.
Before Ichigo arrived at Reioukyuu, he noticed a giant cage looking thing. Deciding to check it out since he didn't remember seeing that when he jumped down from Reioukyuu. Ichigo arrived at the wooden cage and jumped off Kisara. During the middle of the trip to Reioukyuu, Kisara commented that she was getting tired from all of the barriers that she has to fly past. Ichigo arrived at the cage made of a tree to see the dead bodies of Tenjirō Kirinji, Kirio Hikifune, Ōetsu Nimaiya, and Senjumaru Shutara. Ichigo looked at each of their bodies to that all of them have a bullet wound. Ichigo realized that all four of them were taken down by one foe. "I need to be careful of a Sternritter with some sort of gun." Ichigo thought. Once he reached the other side of the wooden cage, he summoned Valiona and finished flying to Reioukyuu.
Scene Change: Reioukyuu
Ichigo arrived at Reioukyuu and got off Valiona.
"Ichigo do you want us to come with you?" Valiona asked.
"No need," Ichigo said.
"Alright, Ichigo," Valiona replied and returned to Ichigo's mindscape. Ichigo noticed that there was a battle outside the Great Reioukyuu. Ichigo looked to see the dead body of Hyōsube Ichibē. Ichigo walked past Ichibē and entered the Greater Reioukyuu.
Scene Change: Greater Reioukyuu
Ichigo opened the doors to see a giant wave of fire coming towards Ichigo. Ichigo dodged the fire to see Genryūsai battling against Yūhabahha. Ichigo shunpō'ed over to block an attack from Yūhabahha and slash him in the chest.
"Gah!" Yūhabahha yelled as he sees Ichigo standing there. "Hello, my wayward son," Yūhabahha said.
"Hello Yūhabahha," Ichigo said. "How are you doing Genryūsai," Ichigo asked.
"I'm fine," Genryūsai replied.
"My son, I was expecting you to be here later but it doesn't matter," Yūhabahha said. "I have arranged for someone you will fight until I am done with Genryūsai," Yūhabahha said as he opened up his cloak as a figure walked out of Yūhabahha's cloak and got on her knee and bowed towards Yūhabahha. "My Shield, stand up and defend me," Yūhabahha ordered.
"Yes, your Majesty." The figure said and stood up. Ichigo had a closer look at the figure and gasped. The Sternritter Yūhabahha called upon to fight has fair skin and long, light, wavy brown hair down to her back. She also wore a variation of the Sternritter's typical white uniform, consisting of the order's signature hooded-cloak, a thigh-length trench coat, knee-high boots, a miniskirt, and black stockings. The figure is strong enough to carry a large shield in the shape of a Quincy cross. When Ichigo looked at her eyes, Ichigo recognized who she is. The person standing in front of Ichigo was none other than his mother. However, this Masaki is different than the one Ichigo rescued from Hell. Before, Masaki's brown eyes were full of life. Now Masaki's brown eyes are filled with misery and broken.
"Kaa-san," Ichigo said. But Masaki ignored Ichigo and charged towards him. Ichigo jumped back but was slammed her shield. Ichigo managed to put his hands up to take less damage from the attack "Kaa-san why did you join Yūhabahha's side!" Ichigo said.
"I did it for you!" Masaki said as she charged and swung her shield at Ichigo. Ichigo managed to dodge the attack again. Masaki continued to charge in and swung her shield as she explains to Ichigo. "After I was captured, I was forced to witness his Majesty's power. I saw his Majesty's power and I was terrified of his power. When he told me that you are planning to fight against him I was even scared that you might die!" Masaki yelled out. "His Majesty promised me that if his Majesty wins you, Yuzu, Karin, and Isshin will be spared and allowed to live with me."
"Kaa-san!" Ichigo yelled out. "Yūhabahha is using you! He doesn't care about you!" Ichigo said out.
"I don't care!" Masaki yelled out. "I am willing to sacrifice myself so that everyone that I love survives this war!" Masaki yelled out.
"I know… you did it for me 10 years ago." Ichigo commented; thinking about when Masaki first died for Ichigo. Masaki stop swing her shield when she heard that from Ichigo. "Because of that, this is why I have to do this," Ichigo said and summoned the Chains of Hell.
"ICHIGO!" Masaki yelled out recognizing the chains Ichigo summoned. She used her shield to block the Chains of Hell. However, they managed to wrap itself around her.
"Kaa-san," Ichigo said as he walked towards his mother. Masaki struggled against the Chains of Hell. "I love you but, I am doing this to protect you," Ichigo said as a portal to Hell opened up.
"ICHIGO! ICHIGO!" Masaki yelled out. Ichigo stood there, a tear dripped from his eyes, as he watched the Chains of Hell dragged Masaki back into Hell. Suddenly, Ichigo could hear someone clapping.
Ichigo looked and saw Yūhabahha clapping at Ichigo for what he was forced to do to his mother. Ichigo noticed that Genryūsai was lying unconcluded to the far wall.
"My son of darkness, you are the last thing in between me and the Soul King," Yūhabahha said as he stares at Ichigo and summoned a sword. "I cannot see the future that involves you," Yūhabahha said. "None the less, you will lose and I will become the new Soul King." Ichigo ignores him as he draws Zangetsu.
"Getsuga Tenshō!" Ichigo yelled as he fires a Getsuga Tenshō at Yūhabahha. Yūhabahha dodged the attack as it hit a stray column. Ichigo fired another Getsuga Tenshō at Yūhabahha. Yūhabahha summoned his reishi sword and block the attack. Yūhabahha changed his reishi sword into his Sankt Bogen and fires a large Heilig Pfeil at Ichigo. Ichigo dodged the Heilig Pfeils.
"Mugen Getsuga Tenshō!" Ichigo yelled as he flung the attack to the sky. Yūhabahha summoned his Blut Vene Anhaben to protect himself from the Getsuga Tenshōs that are raining down. Ichigo noticed that Blut Vene Anhaben was slowly eating up the room and the Getsuga Tenshōs that was hitting it. Ichigo decided to see how Blut Vene Anhaben reacts to a technique full of Hollow reiatsu. Ichigo charged up and fired a few ceros to test his theory out. The ceros hit Blut Vene Anhaben like it was intended. However, instead of Blut Vene Anhaben absorbing the attack and using it to fuel itself. The cero simply hit Blut Vene Anhaben and stayed there until the attack ran out of reiatsu and disappeared. "So it looks like Blut Vene Anhaben cannot absorb my hollow reiatsu." Ichigo thought. Ichigo fired another Mugen Getsuga Tenshō to distract Yūhabahha while he talked to his spirits. "Zangetsu," Ichigo called.
"Yes, King?" Zangetsu replied.
"Can I combine a Cero and a Getsuga Tenshō?" Ichigo asked.
"I…" Zangetsu said; pausing to think about the idea. "I don't know," Zangetsu replied. "Normally a combination attack like that would require an equal amount of Hollow and Shinigami powers in both attacks or it the fusion attack would explode," Zangetsu said. "But with me being the manifestation of both your Shinigami and Hollow powers, I might be able to make it work," Zangetsu said.
"Fair enough," Ichigo said. Ichigo began to charge a Getsuga Tenshō by using the Zangetsu in his right hand. Ichigo also began to charge a Cero by using the Zangetsu in his left hand. Once Mugen Getsuga Tenshō ended, Ichigo stabbed the Zangetsu in his left hand forward, releasing a crimson cero, and then swung down the Zangetsu in his right hand, firing the charged up Getsuga Tenshō. "Getsuga Luna Negra [Moon Fang Black Moon]!" Ichigo yelled out. The crimson cero and the black and red Getsuga Tenshō combined to form a cero looking attack with the Getsuga Tenshō acting like fins for the cero(1). The newly dubbed Getsuga Luna Negra slammed into Blut Vene Anhaben. Yūhabahha looked at the attack with slight interest. After a few seconds, Yūhabahha disregarded the attack since it didn't break his Blut Vene Anhaben. After those few seconds, Blut Vene Anhaben started to crack from the pressure of Ichigo's attack. Yūhabahha noticed Blut Vene Anhaben started to crack but it was too late. Getsuga Luna Negra broke through and slammed into Yūhabahha's left shoulder, causing an explosion. The dust cleared away to see Yūhabahha's left shoulder is severely burnt.
"Impressive," Yūhabahha said. "It has been a long time since I was damaged," Yūhabahha said as he brought his right hand and touch the blood on his left shoulder. With his blood on his hands, Yūhabahha brought it to his face. Ichigo stared at Yūhabahha with wonder and curious at what Yūhabahha was going to do. "Powers that are strong enough to break through my Blut Vene Anhaben should not exist," Yūhabahha said as he summoned five white balls of light and sent them around Ichigo. "Sankt Altar!" Yūhabahha yelled. From the five white balls of light, they all shot out a beam of energy at Ichigo, forming a large Quincy Zeichen.
"What's going on." Ichigo thought as he slowly felt his energy being drained.
"Sankt Altar is a technique where it drains the reiatsu of the victim and gives it to Yūhabahha," Yhwach said.
"Wait. Is Sankt Altar draining all of my reiatsu or just my Shinigami and Quincy reiatsu?" Ichigo asked.
"It's draining your Shinigami and Quincy reiatsu," Yhwach said. Ichigo thought of a plan.
"Yhwach, Yūhabahha is still effected by Hollow reiatsu right?" Ichigo asked.
"Yes," Yhwach replied.
"Zangetsu get ready for a massive push of hollow reiatsu," Ichigo said.
"On it King!" Zangetsu said.
Yūhabahha was slowly feeling his reiatsu reserves filling up from Sankt Altar. Yūhabahha was aware that Ichigo's reiatsu was tricking in slower than before. "Might be due to his hollow reiatsu being filtered out from Sankt Altar." Yūhabahha thought. Suddenly Yūhabahha felt a massive amount of reiatsu flooding in from Sankt Altar. "There we go!" Yūhabahha thought. A few seconds later, Yūhabahha felt something wrong. "What's going on. I feel the energy from Sankt Altar filling my reiatsu reserves but it doesn't feel normal. It feels hollow." Yūhabahha thought. Suddenly Yūhabahha's eyes opened wide realizing what this reiatsu is. It wasn't Shinigami or Quincy reiatsu. It was Hollow reiatsu. Yūhabahha looked to see Ichigo trapped in Sankt Altar but was smiling. Suddenly Yūhabahha started to cough. Yūhabahha covered his mouth with his hand. Yūhabahha continued to cough. Yūhabahha looked at his hand to see his blood on his palm. Yūhabahha quickly dismissed Sankt Altar and began attempting to purge the Hollow Reiatsu out of his body. Upon being released from Sankt Altar, Ichigo shunpō'ed to Yūhabahha.
"Getsuga Jūjishō!" Ichigo yelled out as he fired his crossed shaped attack at Yūhabahha. Yūhabahha used his hands to attempt to guard against the surprise attack. The dust cleared to see Yūhabahha with his hands severely burnt from the attack. While Yūhabahha was still distracted from the Hollow reiatsu poisoning and the burns on his hands, Ichigo bounded Yūhabahha with the Chains of Hell.
"What!" Yūhabahha yelled out as he struggled in the Chains of Hell.
"Hello Son," Amaterasu said with disgust as she appears in front of Yūhabahha.
"WHO ARE YOU! YOU AREN'T MY MOTHER!" Yūhabahha yelled out.
"It seems reincarnation made you forget who gave birth to you in the first place," Amaterasu said as she snapped her fingers. Suddenly a beam of light hit Yūhabahha.
"M-m-mother!" Yūhabahha stuttered in fear remembering who stood in front of him.
"Yūhabahha before you were reincarnated, you used to like your brother before he became the King of Souls. But, now you despised him why?" Amaterasu asked.
"Because I already knew brother was not fit to rule," Yūhabahha replied.
"I am just made aware of that," Amaterasu admitted.
"Then what are you going to do about it!? He is right there." Yūhabahha said as he tilted his head towards the Soul King homunculus. Amaterasu looked at Yūhabahha weirdly for a few seconds before realizing what Yūhabahha was implying.
"I forgot that you didn't know," Amaterasu said.
"Didn't know what?" Yūhabahha asked.
"That the thing you referred to as the Soul King is not the Soul King," Amaterasu said.
"WHAT!?" Yūhabahha yelled out.
"Ichigo and I managed to confront your brother, who created a homunculus to act like him while he went to somewhere else to do something," Amaterasu said.
"I see… so who is the new Soul King?" Yūhabahha asked.
"I am," Ichigo said as he showed Yūhabahha his eyes.
"I see," Yūhabahha said as he lowered his face. "Then I accept defeat and willing to accept mother's punishment," Yūhabahha said.
"Now then, as punishment for your crimes, you will be cursed to constantly reincarnate with no memories of your past, you will be considered misfortune and bad luck, and whenever you regain your memories, you will die in three days no matter what someone does," Amaterasu said as she begins to charge an energy ball and was ready to throw it at the Yūhabahha.
"Okaa-san Wait," Ichigo said.
"Yes, Ichigo?" Amaterasu said.
"I need to do one more thing to Yūhabahha before you inflict divine punishment," Ichigo said. Ichigo walked to Yūhabahha and place his hand on Yūhabahha's forehead. "I Kurosaki Ichigo, in the name of Yhwach, reclaim the schrift bestowed upon," Ichigo said. The Yūhabahha's body began to spasm out as a small soul fragment floated out of his mouth and flew into Ichigo's ring.
"Schrift A acquired," Yhwach reported. "You also somehow managed to absorb all of Yūhabahha's memories," Yhwach said.
"Great more power." Ichigo thought sarcastically.
"Ichigo are you done?" Amaterasu said as she held her divine punishment for Yūhabahha in her hand.
"Go ahead Okaa-san," Ichigo said as he moved way from Yūhabahha. Amaterasu threw the ball at Yūhabahha. Yūhabahha's body began to glow and a few seconds later, disappeared. Leaving Ichigo and Amaterasu mostly alone.
"Thank you Ichigo," Amaterasu said.
"No problem," Ichigo replied and with that Amaterasu disappeared. Ichigo walked over to Genryūsai's unconscious body. Ichigo lightly shook his body to wake him up.
"Wha…" Genryūsai said as he slowly woke up.
"Yo," Ichigo said seeing Genryūsai woke up.
"Did we win?" Genryūsai asked.
"We did," Ichigo said.
"I see," Genryūsai said as Ichigo helped him up. Genryūsai turned to the Soul King's throne to see it is empty. "Where's the Soul King?" Genryūsai asked. Ichigo sighed.
"Let's sit down," Ichigo said as he created two chairs out of reiatsu. Genryūsai sat down as Ichigo began his tale from the moment Ichigo entered Greater Reioukyuu the first time till now.
"I see…" Genryūsai said as he goes through this bombshell that Ichigo dropped on him. With a new King of Souls in play, Soul Society will be forced to change.
"Genryūsai," Ichigo said, getting Genryūsai's attention.
"Yes?" Genryūsai replied.
"I think it is time to finish off the rest of those Sternritters," Ichigo said.
"Alright then. Do you know where they are?" Genryūsai asked.
"Sure I do, they are right outside," Ichigo said. Genryūsai slightly raised his eyebrow. Suddenly they heard a loud bang as a tall and broad muscular man with light, shoulder-length hair charged in. Upon further inspection, he is wearing a winged helmet and a white cloak fastened at the front with three buttons and a black Hagal rune on the left-hand side. Underneath this cloak, he wears a red cape held by a pin on both shoulders, gauntlets on either arm, black pants with a white X-shaped belt and disc-shaped buckle, and white shin guards with discs on his kneecaps.
"WHERE IS HIS MAJESTY!" the man yelled.
"Dead," Ichigo said.
"LIES!" the man yelled as he draws his sword and charged towards Ichigo. Ichigo sighs and punched the man in the gut. "Gah!" The man yelled. Ichigo summoned the Chains of Hell to wrap around his arms and leg. The man yelled as he struggled to break free.
"I finished sorting through Yūhabahha's memories," Yhwach said.
"Thank you," Ichigo replied. Using his new knowledge, Ichigo managed to figure out who this man was. "Gerard Valkyrie," Ichigo said. "Thank you for coming here and returning something that belongs to me," Ichigo said. Ichigo placed his hand on Gerard Valkyrie's forehead. "I Kurosaki Ichigo, in the name of Yhwach, reclaim the schrift bestowed upon," Ichigo said. Gerard Valkyrie's body began to spasm out as a small soul fragment floated out of his mouth and flew into Ichigo's ring.
"Schrift M acquired,"Yhwach reported.
"Now that is out of the way…" Ichigo said as he punched through Gerard Valkyrie's skin.
"GAH!" Gerard Valkyrie said. Ichigo pulled out a gold and violet heart. Suddenly the 'heart' began to shake and slowly rise from Ichigo's hand. Gold and violet strings began to shoot out from the 'heart' and anchored themselves on Ichigo's chest. From there, the 'heart' slowly moved towards Ichigo. Ichigo allowed the 'heart' to enter his body. Ichigo waited a few seconds to see if anything physical changed in him.
"Did anything happen?" Ichigo asked.
"A lot," Hōgyoku replied.
"We will discuss the changes later," Kyōka added.
"Ok," Ichigo replied. With that done, Ichigo sent Gerard Valkyrie to Hell.
"Are you alright Ichigo?" Genryūsai asked.
"I'm alright," Ichigo answered. The two left the Greater Reioukyuu to see the remaining Sternritters standing outside the Greater Reioukyuu and was waiting for them.
"Hello, Kurosaki Ichigo." Jugram Haschwalth said. Ichigo was tired of this and simply summoned the Chains of Hell and wrapped them around everyone except Uryū. Ichigo walked over to Lille Barro and his hand on Lille Barro's forehead. "I Kurosaki Ichigo, in the name of Yhwach, reclaim the schrift bestowed upon," Ichigo said. Lille Barro's body began to spasm out as a small soul fragment floated out of his mouth and flew into Ichigo's ring.
"Schrift X acquired,"Yhwach reported. Ichigo then walked to Askin Nakk Le Vaar and placed his hand on Askin Nakk Le Vaar's forehead. "I Kurosaki Ichigo, in the name of Yhwach, reclaim the schrift bestowed upon," Ichigo said. Askin Nakk Le Vaar's body began to spasm out as a small soul fragment floated out of his mouth and flew into Ichigo's ring.
"Schrift D acquired,"Yhwach reported. Ichigo then walked to Pernida Parnkgjas.
"Hello, King." Pernida Parnkgjas spits out.
"Hello, Lefty," Ichigo said as he ripped Pernida's cloak. Everyone gasped as they see what was under Pernida's cloak. Pernida's body consists of an enormous left hand with chains linking its fingertips together and a large eye with two pupils and irises in the center of its palm. Ichigo placed his hand on Pernida's eye. "I Kurosaki Ichigo, in the name of Yhwach, reclaim the schrift bestowed upon," Ichigo said. Pernida's body began to spasm out as a small soul fragment floated out of its mouth and flew into Ichigo's ring.
"Schrift C acquired,"Yhwach reported. Ichigo then stabbed his left hand in Pernida's eye.
"GAH!" Pernida yelled out. Suddenly veins began to appear on Pernida's body. "I don't want to go back! NO! I don't want to be bound there forever!" Pernida cried out as it struggled even more. "NO! NO!" Pernida cried out as tears began to drip from his eyes. Ichigo ignored the cries as Pernida's body slowly began to be absorbed by Ichigo. A few seconds later, Pernida disappeared. The only evidence of Pernida's existence was his Sternritter robes. After that Ichigo walked over to Jugram Haschwalth and placed his hand on Jugram's head. "I Kurosaki Ichigo, in the name of Yhwach, reclaim the schrift bestowed upon," Ichigo said. Jugram's body began to spasm out as a small soul fragment floated out of his mouth and flew into Ichigo's ring.
"Schrift B acquired,"Yhwach reported. Ichigo then opened a portal to Hell and threw everyone except Uryū.
"Hello, Uryū. You probably have a lot of questions." Ichigo said. Uryū nodded. Ichigo sealed Zangetsu, sent Kokugatsu back to his mindscape and summoned three chairs and everyone sat down. "Uryū the reason why I did not send you to Hell is due to a simple reason," Ichigo said.
"Which is… Uryū replied.
"That Yūhabahha knew you were going to betray him," Ichigo said.
"What!" Uryū replied in shock.
"Yes. Yūhabahha managed to see you assisting me to do something which will stop Yūhabahha." Ichigo said.
"What did I do?" Uryū asked.
"I… don't know," Ichigo replied.
"What do you mean?" Uryū asked.
"I don't know because Yūhabahha doesn't know." Ichigo clarified.
"How? Yūhabahha can see the future." Uryū asked.
"It is true Yūhabahha could see the future," Ichigo said. "But, he couldn't see me with that ability," Ichigo said.
"I see…" Uryū said. "Then why didn't he kill me then?" Uryū asked.
"Because, when Yūhabahha died, he would use the connection he has with you to take over your body. This will force me to kill you or else Yūhabahha would have managed to fuse your body with Yūhabahha's original body." Ichigo said.
"I… see," Uryū said.
"Ishida," Ichigo said, gaining Uryū's attention. "I need to take your schrift," Ichigo said as he placed his hand on Uryū's forehead. "I Kurosaki Ichigo, in the name of Yhwach, reclaim the schrift bestowed upon," Ichigo said. Uryū's body began to spasm out as a small soul fragment floated out of his mouth and flew into Ichigo's ring.
"Schrift A acquired,"Yhwach said.
"Is this going to prevent me from going to Hell?" Uryū asked as he remembered what happened to the other Quincies." Uryū asked.
"Unfortunately, this will not prevent you from going to Hell," Ichigo said.
"What?" Uryū asked. Ichigo ignores Uryū's question as Ichigo opened a portal to Hell. Immediately Uryū got worried about being sent to Hell. Ichigo noticed this. "Uryū calm down. This is not for you." Ichigo said. Ichigo placed his hand in the middle of the portal and closed his eyes. A few seconds later, Masaki was pulled out of Hell. Even though she was sent to Hell and wrapped in Chains of Hell, she did not have a Chain of Hell attached to her. "Kaa-san," Ichigo said. Masaki looked at Ichigo.
"Ichi…Ichigo." Masaki said.
"It is over," Ichigo said. Masaki hugged Ichigo and cried on his shoulders. "Kaa-san," Ichigo said. Masaki looked at Ichigo. "Can you stop. I need to explain something important." Ichigo said. Masaki still hugged Ichigo as he explained the situation to Uryū and Masaki. "You do remember that Quincy's techniques usually destroy the Souls right?" Ichigo said.
"I do remember that," Uryū said.
"Well, that is one of the acts that will automatically send you to Hell for," Ichigo said.
"I see…" Uryū said, accepting his fate to Hell.
"But," Ichigo said. "If I take your powers for the remainder of your life, you will be spared from Hell," Ichigo said.
"Wait. What do you mean 'remainder of your life'?" Uryū asked.
"What I mean is once you die, you can fuel your Quincy powers with your reiatsu instead of reishi," Ichigo said.
"What would that do?" Uryū asked.
"By fueling it with your reiatsu you purify the souls instead of killing them," Ichigo said.
"I see," Uryū said. "I accept," Uryū said.
"Ichigo what about me?" Masaki asked.
"We will discuss this in private," Ichigo said.
"Ok then," Masaki said.
"Alright. When we get back to Karakura Town; I will explain the situation to you and father after that I will strip you of your powers." Ichigo said.
"Ok," Uryū said.
"Come on," Ichigo said as he stood up.
"Where are we going?" Uryū asked.
"We need to clean up the mess that the other Quincies made," Ichigo said.
"I see," Uryū said as he stood up. Genryūsai allowed Ichigo, Uryū, and Masaki to have their discussion in private while he discusses something with Ryūjin Jakka.
"Are you two ready to go?" Genryūsai asked.
"We are," Ichigo replied. The three walked out of Greater Reioukyuu to see the remaining Gotei 13 standing outside the Greater Reioukyuu ready to attack.
"Yo," Ichigo said, breaking the tension.
"Move it Kurosaki. You got two Quincy behind you." Suì-Fēng said.
"Suì-Fēng-Fukutaicho, stand down," Genryūsai said.
"But… Sōtaichō." Suì-Fēng said. Genryūsai just glared at Suì-Fēng. "As you wish Sōtaichō," Suì-Fēng said.
"So the battle is over." Ukitake said.
"It is," Ichigo said as he walked past the group. "Come, we have a Soul Society to rebuilt," Ichigo said as he ripped open a Garganta and walked inside it followed by Masaki and Uryū. Many of the Shinigami was confused and looked at Genryūsai for guidance or orders.
"Well, what are all of you waiting for?" Genryūsai asked.
"Um… your orders…" Toshiro replied.
"Sigh. Go and meet up with Ichigo." Genryūsai said as he walked past the group and entered the Garganta.
"Did the Sōtaichō just called Ichigo… Ichigo?" Rukia asked.
"He did…" Renji replied. "Something is not right here…"
"For now we should follow them," Yoruichi said and with that everyone entered the Garganta.
Soul Society/ Wandenreich City
Ichigo jumped out of the Garganta. Ichigo looked to see that Soul Society is still how Yūhabahha changed it to. Uryū and Masaki walked out of the Garganta that Ichigo left open.
"Guys, do you still detect any reiatsu?" Ichigo asked.
"Nothing Shinigami," Kyōka replied.
"Nothing Quincy," Yhwach replied.
"Noth- Got something,"Zangetsu replied as he manifested himself. "They're at that building." Zangetsu pointed out. The building that Zangetsu pointed out appears to be a wide, two-tiered building. The bottom tier is supported by six thick columns, while the upper tier is roughly half as wide and long, instead of being held up by pillars; it also features windows consisting of two thin slats in the wall on either side. The ground below it has a set of stairs leading up to the lower tier, and the entire complex is surrounded by an angular barrier with octagonal joints. Outside the building, it is framed by two gutted, curving, tusk-like structures arching toward each other in front of it.
"Got it," Ichigo said as Zangetsu returned to the mindscape. "Uryū and Kaa-san stay here for a second," Ichigo said as he shunpō'ed over the building and managed to find the reiatsu that Zangetsu found. Ichigo shunpō'ed thought the building to find a prisoner. With Yūhabahha's memories, Ichigo managed to identify the prisoner. It was Tier Harribel. Ichigo summoned Kokugatsu and cut open the door and the chains. Ichigo laid her down on the ground and began casting medical kidō to see where all the damage is.
"Ichigo base on the medical kidō, she is not going to live much longer," Kyōka said as she appears next to Ichigo.
"So… I need to use another Chaos Piece to save her." Ichigo said.
"Yes," Kyōka replied. Ichigo sighed as he remembered promising to bring Tier Harribel back to her Fracción. So Ichigo summoned a Knight Chaos Piece and place it on her stomach. Tier's body absorbed the piece and Ichigo could sense a change to Tier.
"Look like she is recovering," Ichigo said. Ichigo picked Tier up and held her in a bridal carry. Ichigo shunpō'ed back to where Uryū and Masaki were waiting for him. Ichigo opened up a Garganta to Urahara Shōten and walked through it.
Urahara Shōten
As soon as Ichigo left the Garganta, Ichigo could see Sung-Sung drinking tea with Tessai and Apacci and Mila Rose getting to another argument.
"Harribel-sama!" The Fracción members cried out as they all surround Ichigo.
"OI!" Ichigo said, gaining all of their attention. "Give me some room," Ichigo ordered. The Fracción members complied and allowed Ichigo to place Tier next to Nel. "Tessai, is there anyone else who could take care of them?" Ichigo asked.
"Jinta and Ururu could take care of them," Tessai replied. "Why?"
"I will need you in Soul Society for a bit," Ichigo replied.
"I see," Tessai said. "Give me a few seconds," Tessai said as he stood up and left the room. Seeing that Ichigo had a bit of time, Ichigo decided to give Mila Rose a message from her sister.
"Mila Rose?" Ichigo called out.
"Yes?" Mila Rose replied.
"This might be weird but, do you know someone named Franceska Rose?" Ichigo asked. Sung-Sung wished she had her camera to show Harribel-sama when she woke up. Mila Rose's eyes were wide open and her mouth was wide open. Mila Rose quickly regained her bearing.
"How do you know that name?" Mila asked.
"Because I met your sister and want to meet you," Ichigo replied.
"How!?" Mila yells. "I am dead and my sister doesn't have reiatsu!"
"Let me call her and allow her to explain," Ichigo said as he dialed Franceska's phone number. "Hello, Franceska?" Ichigo said. "I found Mila," Ichigo said. "Yes. I am not kidding." Ichigo said. "Where are you?" Ichigo asked. "Ok give me a few seconds," Ichigo said and hung up. "Be right back," Ichigo said and jumped into a Garganta. A few seconds later Ichigo shunpō'ed into the store, caring another woman who strangely looks like Mila Rose.
"Franceska…" Mila said.
"Mila…" Franceska said. Suddenly the two began hugging and crying tears of joy. While this was going on, Tessai, Jinta, and Ururu entered the room.
"Tessai you ready?" Ichigo asked.
"I am," Tessai said. Ichigo opened up a Garganta and walked in it, followed by Tessai and left Uryū and Masaki at Urahara Shōten.
Soul Society/ Wandenreich City
Ichigo and Tessai left the Garganta to see that the remaining Shinigami are there.
"Is everyone here?" Ichigo asked.
"Yes," Genryūsai said.
"Ok," Ichigo said as he turned his eyes back to normal. Everyone gasped seeing Ichigo's new galaxy eyes. Ichigo ignored the gasped as he summoned up his reiatsu. Everyone could see Ichigo gathering up reiatsu. "Ō no meirei, Jigen Shīru!" [King's Order, Dimension Seal!]
Ichigo ordered. Suddenly Ichigo's reiatsu rushed out and covered everything with his reiatsu for less than a second and it suddenly disappeared.
"What was that?" Genryūsai asked.
"I cast one of the special orders that King of Souls can use regarding this dimension," Ichigo said. "This command locks this dimension down. No one can enter or leave anymore." Ichigo explained.
"King of Souls?" Everyone asked out loud. Ichigo and Genryūsai sighed.
"Everyone sit down," Ichigo ordered as he summoned a collage classroom setting as everyone sat down. Ichigo took the front of this 'class'. Ichigo explained everything to them: his meeting with Amaterasu, finding out about the real King of Souls, explaining Yūhabahha and the King of Souls' relation and the final battle. "So, everyone got that?" Ichigo asked. Many of the Shinigami's mind was blown apart. Genryūsai was the first one to regain the ability to speak.
"So… what now?" Genryūsai asked.
"With pretty much all of Soul Society is destroyed, I decided to rebuild it from the bottom up," Ichigo said.
"What!?" Genryūsai yelled.
"Yep," Ichigo said. "I am going to call each division and the respective Taichō of that division is going to report to me what is their special duty for their division," Ichigo said.
"What if the captain of the division died?" Tetsuzaemon Iba stood up and asked.
"Then the next highest rank will answer," Ichigo replied. Tetsuzaemon Iba nodded and sat down. Ichigo summoned a notebook and a pen. "First Division."
"No special duties," Genryūsai answered.
"Second Division," Ichigo asked.
"Technically no special duties," Yoruichi answered.
"What do you mean technically no special duties?" Ichigo asked.
"During my time as Taicho, I lead the Onmitsukidō and Second Division. Over time those two mixed." Yoruichi answered.
"I see," Ichigo said as he noted that detail down. "Third Division," Ichigo asked.
"No special duties," Rōjūrō answered.
"Fourth Division," Ichigo asked.
"Medial Support," Isane answered.
"Fifth Division," Ichigo asked.
"No special duties," Hirako answered.
"Sixth Division," Ichigo asked.
"No special duties," Renji answered. Ichigo looked up to see Byakuya still processing that Ichigo technically is a higher ranking noble than him.
"Seventh Division," Ichigo asked.
"No special duties," Iba answered.
"Eighth Division," Ichigo asked.
"No special duties," Kyōraku answered.
"Ninth Division," Ichigo asked.
"Technically no special duties," Kensei answered. Ichigo looked up.
"What do you mean Kensei?" Ichigo asked.
"Ninth Division is usually associated with art and culture. This is why Hisagi ran the Seireitei News Magazine."
"I see…" Ichigo said. "I'll make a note of that," Ichigo said.
"Tenth Division," Ichigo asked.
"No special duties," Toshiro answered.
"Eleventh Division," Ichigo asked.
"Direct Combat," Kenpachi answered.
"So major issues, call the Eleventh," Ichigo said, trying to understand Kenpachi's statement.
"YEP!" Kenpachi shouted.
"Twelfth Division," Ichigo asked.
"Shinigami Research and Development Institute," Kurotsuchi answered.
"That reminds me," Ichigo said as he stood up. "Urahara!" Ichigo shouted.
"Yes?" Urahara replied.
"Do you want your old job back?" Ichigo asked.
"Sure," Urahara replied.
"Ok," Ichigo said. Suddenly a red portal opened up behind Kurotsuchi. "Kurotsuchi for all of your inhumane action ever since your ascension to Captain, I damn you to Hell," Ichigo said as chains from the portal opened up and dragging Kurotsuchi in. Once he was inside the portal, Ichigo closed the portal and sat down.
"Thirteenth Division," Ichigo asked; ignoring everyone's shocked look.
"No special duties." Ukitake answered.
"Tessai," Ichigo called out.
"Yes?" Tessai asked.
"What did you do when you were in the Kidō Corps?" Ichigo asked.
"The Kidō Corps maintain all seals in Soul Society, create new Kidō, and start-up Senkaimons," Tessai answered.
"I see," Ichigo said as he noted what Tessai said. "Since many of you don't have any special duties other than having a few Shinigami around each area, I am going to start assigning roles that each Division is going to manage," Ichigo said. "1st Division you are now in charge of the Treasury," Ichigo said.
"The Treasury?" Genryūsai asked.
"Yes. First Division will now manage all money that is going in or out from the Soul Society." Ichigo said.
"Isn't that the job of the powerless citizens?" Genryūsai asked.
"It was but it is now your job since we are not going to have any citizens interfering with our work," Ichigo said.
"What?" Genryūsai asked.
"Yes. The reason for this is because all of the problems I had to deal with usually involved Central 46. What I am trying to do here is negate this." Ichigo explains.
"I see," Genryūsai replied.
"Anyways, 2nd Division you are now the Onmitsukidō; this means all members of the 2nd Division are apart of the Onmitsukidō."
"Excellent, time to weed out the weak." Yoruichi smiled; like a cat that got a new toy.
"This time you get paid extra," Ichigo added.
"Really?!" Yoruichi replied.
"Really," Ichigo answered. "3rd Division your special duty is Quartermaster," Ichigo said.
"Quartermaster?" Rōjūrō said.
"Yes, Quartermaster. You oversee listing all supplies and equipment needed or in the progress of getting." Ichigo explained.
"I see…"
"Anyways, the 4th Division will continue being Medical support," Ichigo said.
"Ok," Isane replied.
"5th Division, you will oversee running Shin'ō Academy," Ichigo said.
"Say what!?" Hirako replied.
"You oversee running Shin'ō Academy," Ichigo said again.
"NO!" Hirako replied. Ichigo ignored his despair.
"6th Division you oversee relations with nobles."
"Ok," Renji replied. "7th Division, 8th Division, 9th Division and 10th Division all four of you are going to oversee providing security in the Rukongai as well as improve relations with Rukongai citizens," Ichigo said.
"All four of us are in Rukongai?" Toshiro replied.
"7th Division with police over North Rukongai. 8th Division with police over East Rukongai. 9th Division with police over South Rukongai. 10th Division with police over West Rukongai." Ichigo clarified.
"Ok," Kyōraku replied.
"11th Division will be our first line of troops. If anything, major happens where the 7th Division, 8th Division, 9th Division, and 10th Division members cannot handle it then you are called in to support." Ichigo explained.
"Sure," Kenpachi said.
"12th Division you are still the Shinigami Research and Development Institute," Ichigo said.
"Ok," Urahara replied.
"13th Division you are now International Relations," Ichigo said.
"International?" Ukitake said.
"Yes, International," Ichigo said. "Since there are other mystical groups out there, we need to keep in good relations with so that if something bad happens, example Quincy invasion, we have allies to assist us in our time of need," Ichigo said. "It also helps when accidents happen in foreign countries," Ichigo said.
"Ok." Ukitake said.
"Lastly, the Kidō Corp will be restarted and ran by Tessai," Ichigo said.
"Alright," Tessai said.
"All Fourteen of you will run this new Soul Society," Ichigo said.
"What about you?" Genryūsai asked.
"If a tie happens I will break the tie," Ichigo said.
"I mean respect to the chain of command…" Genryūsai clarified.
"Oh. I still am above you." Ichigo answered. "Don't worry, I will not force you to obey a law if all of you are against it.
"I see," Genryūsai said.
"What about all the old nobles and members of the Central 46," Byakuya said.
"Those old farts?" Ichigo said. "Well, they can't do anything since Central 46 was created to be my 'voice' in this government," Ichigo said.
"You are right," Genryūsai said remembering Central 46's original purpose. After all, Genryūsai was there when the King of Soul help create the Rukongai and the Seireitei. Later on, the King of Soul established Central 46 as a way to check and balance the Gotei 13.
"Now then, you have one year to fix this," Ichigo said as he stood up.
"Um… Soul King-sama?" Rukia said.
"Please call me Ichigo. If you need to go formal call me Ichigo-sama." Ichigo said.
"Ok… Ichigo-sama, do you want us to destroy the cities?" Rukia asked; pointing out the fact that the Seireitei is still transformed.
"Oh. Give me one second." Ichigo said as he stood up, closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Everyone could see Ichigo gathering up reiatsu. Suddenly Ichigo's reiatsu rushed out and covered everything with his reiatsu. All the buildings began to break down and reform into the Japanese looking buildings. "Better?" Ichigo asked. All the Shinigami nodded. "Now then, to give you more time to understand your new jobs you will have one year before I unseal this dimension," Ichigo said.
"How?" Genryūsai asked.
"When I sealed off this dimension, I also adjusted the time ratio between both worlds," Ichigo said.
"I see," Urahara said; interested in this ability.
"Everyone except Urahara and Ukitake leave," Ichigo said. Everyone ran off to their division to begin the preparation and needed training. Ichigo then looked at Urahara and Ukitake and cast a large privacy kidō around the three. "Urahara, could you make a pair of lungs that worked with Ukitake's body," Ichigo asked.
"I can make one from a gigai. Why?" Urahara asked.
"Because I need one or else I die." Ukitake said.
"What?" Urahara asked.
"Just go get us a pair of lungs that work with Ukitake's body," Ichigo ordered.
"Alright. Alright." Urahara said as he pulled out a computer and began scanning Ukitake's body. A few seconds later a little pill pops out. Urahara threw it on the ground. A small cloud of dust appears. Once the dust disappears, Ichigo, Urahara, and Ukitake could see a gigai that looks like Ukitake's body.
"Now then, Ukitake, I need you to lay down right next to the body," Ichigo said. Ukitake sighed and did as instructed. Ichigo then placed his hand on Ukitake's face. "Inemuri," Ichigo said as Ukitake fell asleep. "Now we need to open up Ukitake's chest," Ichigo said. Urahara pulled out Benihime from his cane and cut straight down on Ukitake's chest. Suddenly black reiatsu shot out of the freshly made cut on Ukitake's chest. The black reishi began to shape into an arm with a clenched right fist, and a single, large eye on the back of the fist. The fist was ready to attack before Ichigo intervene.
"Mimihagi stand down," Ichigo ordered. The fist stopped and faced Ichigo.
"So, the time has come," Mimihagi said.
"It has Mimihagi. I have collected the other parts." Ichigo said.
"You are aware, that his body will have about three minutes before he begins to have brain damage," Mimihagi said.
"Urahara, can you do this in that amount of time?" Ichigo asked.
"I can but I will need to go Bankai," Urahara said.
"Ok then," Ichigo said as he moves slightly away from Urahara.
"Nake, Benihime," Urahara said as his cane blade entered Shikai. Its Shikai takes the form of a sleek, medium-sized sword. The hilt's grip, which has a gentle black-decorative wrapping, bends forward at the end, with a pommel shaped overlap three times, and a crimson tassel dangling from its base. Instead of a tsuba, a U-shape guard is covering three inches of blade, with a flower petal design. At the base of the guard is a red string wrapped thrice around the hilt, with a three-loop bow on the backside and a folded paper decoration on the front side. "Bankai: Kannonbiraki Benihime Aratame" [Modification of the Crimson Princess' Dissection at the Doors of Avalokiteśvara] Urahara said as a giant woman with dark, braided hair arranged in loops on her head and mannequin-like arm and wears a revealing robe appeared behind Urahara. "You can begin Ichigo," Urahara said. Ichigo then placed his right hand on Mimihagi's eye. Mimihagi flinched as veins began to appear on Mimihagi's body. Slowly Mimihagi's body began to be absorbed by Ichigo. A few seconds later, Mimihagi disappeared.
"Go!" Ichigo said. Urahara began to perform surgery on Ukitake. Urahara began to cut open both the gigai's chest and widen the opening on Ukitake's chest. From there, Urahara brought out the lungs from the gigai and place them in Ukitake's chest. From there, Urahara noticed that Ukitake's body isn't compatible with the pair of lungs from the gigai. So, Urahara began to use his Bankai's special ability to make the pair of lungs compatible by restructuring it. A few more seconds, Ichigo and Urahara heard Ukitake's body breathing and his new lungs working. Finally, Urahara sewed up Ukitake's body and dismissed his Bankai. "Urahara, go take care of your division and tell Rukia to meet me in the Fourth Division," Ichigo said once he lowered the kidō barrier that Ichigo cast. Urahara shunpō'ed away while Ichigo picked up Ukitake and brought him to the Fourth Division. Ichigo walked in and Isane guided Ichigo to an empty bed for Ukitake. Ichigo lowered Ukitake on the bed right when Rukia barged in.
"ICHIGO!" Rukia yelled.
"Rukia, let's get out of the Fourth Division before we continue," Ichigo said. Rukia complied and the two shunpō'ed out of the Fourth Division and meet at the Thirteenth Division's Lieutenant's office.
"Now then, Ichigo what did you do?" Rukia asked.
"Urahara and I just finished an experimental surgery on Ukitake to cure him of his disease," Ichigo said.
"Why wasn't this surgery performed at the Fourth Division?" Rukia asked.
"Because it requires abilities of mine and Urahara that we both wish to keep secret," Ichigo said.
"I see…" Rukia said. Ichigo felt his explanation satisfied Rukia's question and was about to leave when Rukia asked something.
"Ichigo… just how powerful are you?" Rukia asked.
"… Very powerful." Ichigo said.
"But just how powerful are you now?" Rukia asked again.
Ichigo ignored the question and shunpō'ed out of the Thirteenth Division
