"Hello." – Zanpakutō speaking.
"Hello." – Zanpakutō thoughts.
Ichigo opened his eyes to see he was in bed with his peerage lovers. With the impending mission coming, Ichigo decided that they wouldn't do anything except sleep last light.
"Good morning my God." Zealot said.
"Morning Zealot," Ichigo replied. Everyone else began to wake up. Ichigo left the bed to take care of his morning business. After that Ichigo gave everyone a quick kiss before heading downstairs to the dining room.
"Good morning, Ichigo-sama." The maids said as Ichigo walked past them.
"Morning," Ichigo replied. Ichigo took his seat at the table. A few minutes later Sakuya pushed a dining cart and presented Ichigo with his breakfast. As Ichigo ate, the rest of the residents in the estate walked down and joined him for breakfast. Artoria, Jeanne, Fleur, Moka, Kahlua, Gilgamesh, Akasha, Yasaka, Medea, Zealot, Tier, and Nelliel walked over to Ichigo.
"Ichigo, we're going to get ready for the invasion," Akasha said.
"Ok," Ichigo said he hugged everyone and kissed them. "Good luck and be safe," Ichigo said to everyone. With that everyone left, heading to their assigned mission. Akua walked over to Ichigo.
"I have arranged our flight," Akua said.
"Right," Ichigo said as he stood up. Ichigo followed Akua outside to see a limousine with the Crimson Rose emblem on it. Sakuya stood in front of the limousine.
"Good morning, Ichigo-sama. Akua-sama." Sakuya greeted them as she opened the limousine door for them.
"Good morning," Ichigo replied as he entered the limousine. Akua followed after him. Sakuya closed the door and entered the driver's side. She started the limousine and they drove off. They arrived at Haneda Airport and boarded a private plane, which also has the Bloody Lotus emblem on it. After a few moments, the plane took off. It took them less than an hour before they arrived at Shanghai Pudong International Airport. As Ichigo and Akua stepped out of the private plane, Sakuya was already outside, with another limousine. They entered the limousine and Sakuya took off. It didn't take them long before they arrived at a decorated building. They could see two golden dragon statues standing guard of the building. Sakuya opened the limousine door for Ichigo and Akua. As soon as they stepped out of the limousine, the doors opened, and were greeted by a Chinese woman.
"Welcome to China Akua-sama's Master." The Chinese woman greeted them in Japanese as she bowed to them.
"Please rise," Ichigo replied in Mandarin. She stood up.
(Everything will be in Mandarin from this point on).
"Please follow me." She said in Mandarin. Ichigo and Akua were escorted inside the building and taken to the top. They arrived in front of a set of wooden doors. She gently knocked on the door.
"Enter." A man from the other side said. She pushed the door opened and moved to the side, allowing Ichigo and Akua to enter. They entered a well-decorated traditional-looking office.
"Welcome." The man said. Ichigo could immediately see a beautiful woman floating behind him. Her Soul Chain was tightly wrapped around him.
"Greetings Lord Xu Wenwu," Akua replied with a bow. "I have done as we agreed."
"You have." Xu Wenwu said. "I will speak with him alone." Akua nodded her head.
"Please don't start a battle in here," Akua warned.
"I will not try to," Ichigo replied as Akua left the room, leaving them alone.
"Please sit." Xu Wenwu said, motioning to the chair in front of him. Ichigo walked over and sat down in the offered chair. "Despite your young appearance, I could see you are a powerful warrior."
"Thank you," Ichigo said. "The same could be said about you," Ichigo said.
"In that case, I will be frank with you… do you think you can grant my wife a new body?" He asked. Ichigo summoned a small handheld scanner from his mindscape.
"May I use this on your wife?" Ichigo asked.
"What will it do?" He asked coldly.
"It will scan her body, and I can use that scan to create her gigai," Ichigo said.
"Very well." He said. Ichigo looked at his wife.
"May I use this on you?" He asked.
"You can." She replied. Ichigo pointed the scanner at her and began to scan her. Ichigo finished scanning her and looked at the scanner. "Well?"
"It is possible to make her a new body," Ichigo said.
"What's your price?" He asked.
"Whatever you want," Ichigo said.
"Is this a test of character?" Xu Wenwu thought. He glanced at his wife's ghost before he moved a wooden box in front of Ichigo.
"This is my most prized possession, besides my family." Xu Wenwu said as he pulled the lids off. Ichigo could see a set of ten rings. They appeared to have a diameter of 13 cm (5.12 inches). The top, middle, and bottom of the rings are black with some kind of engravings on them. The sides between the top, middle, and bottom appeared to be bronze (1). "Long ago when I was just simply Xu Wenwu. I was watching the night sky when suddenly I spotted something falling from the sky. It crashed to the ground. I ran over to see what it was. I discovered these 10 rings in the impact zone. Despite how hot the surrounding area was, these were cool to the touch. I took them and slipped them on." Xu Wenwu picked up one of the rings and slipped them on. Blue energy wrapped around the ring. The engravings on the ring glowed blue. "These rings passively empowered my body. I was much stronger and smarter than before. With its new power, I began my journey. As time passed and I reached my prime, I stopped aging." Xu Wenwu took off the ring and placed it back in the box.
"Are you sure?" Ichigo asked as he could sense the spiritual connection between Xu Wenwu and the Ten Rings. "You and the Ten Rings are bonded together. The moment I sever that bond, you will lose most of your powers and immortality."
"I am." Xu Wenwu said. Ichigo pressed a button on the scanner. A small pill popped out of the butt of the scanner. Ichigo caught the pill and threw it on the ground. A small pink explosion covered the ground. The dust settled to reveal a woman's body. Xu Wenwu's eyes widen. "It looks like her." Ichigo turned to the ghost and motioned her to come. She floated towards Ichigo, and he carefully placed her inside the gigai. She opened her eyes and slowly sat up. "Ying Li!" Xu Wenwu rushed to his wife's side.
"Wenwu, I am fine." She said as she slowly stood up. "Go deal with the rest of the agreement." She said. Xu Wenwu chuckled as he remembered Ichigo quietly sitting there.
"Sorry about that." He apologized.
"No problem," Ichigo said. Xu Wenwu brought a chair for his wife to sit down and rest while he took care of the rest of the agreement with Ichigo.
"As agreed, the Ten Rings are yours." He said.
"Be prepared. I will be severing your spiritual connection with the Ten Rings." Ichigo warned as he activated Schrift N: The Negate. Ichigo struck the spiritual connection. The spiritual connection was easily severed by Ichigo's strike.
"Strange." Ichigo thought as he observe the spiritual connection between them. "I expected the spiritual connection to be much stronger." Ichigo deactivated Schrift N: The Negate and turned to Xu Wenwu.
"Are you ok?" He asked.
"I am." He replied. "It feels something is missing from me." He said.
"It's likely because of how long you had that spiritual connection with the Ten Rings," Ichigo explained.
"It seems like the Ten Rings only partially bonded with Xu Wenwu since he wasn't able to contain all of their power." Kyōka theorized.
"I was thinking the same thing," Ichigo replied. Ichigo closed the lid to the box and sent it to this mindscape.
"I believe our business is over?" Ichigo asked.
"It is." Xu Wenwu said as he stood up. "Once again, thank you Lady Akua's Lord for your assistance." He said as he bowed to him. Ying Li also stood up and bowed to Ichigo.
"You are welcome," Ichigo said as he stood up and left the office. Ichigo and Akua were quickly escorted out of the Golden Dragons.
"Are you planning to return to the Estate?" Akua asked in Japanese.
"I am. I still have to prepare to attack the Overlords." Ichigo said.
"Ok. I have to stay back." Akua admitted. They soon arrived back at Shanghai Pudong International Airport.
"Stay safe," Ichigo said as he kissed her and let her drink some of his blood. After that Ichigo boarded the private plane and the plane took off.
"Ichigo," Yhwach said.
"Yes, Yhwach?" Ichigo replied.
"When we get back, I need to talk with you regarding the Schrifts," Yhwach said.
"Ok," Ichigo replied. Suddenly his phone began to ring. Ichigo pulled out his phone and noticed it was from Don.
"Yes, Don?" He asked.
"Captain, an alien spaceship is flying towards your location." He reported.
"What?" Ichigo shouted as he stood up. He closed his eyes and expanded his senses above him. He found a spaceship flying towards them. Ichigo entered his spirit form and shunpō'ed out of the plane. He appeared in front of the flying spaceship. Ichigo pointed his hand at the incoming spaceship.
"Immobulus." Ichigo cast. The spaceship suddenly froze. Ichigo pulled the Trainer and sent the spaceship inside the Trainer, making sure time is frozen in that area. Ichigo made sure the spaceship was frozen. Ichigo quickly returned to his plane and slipped into his body. Ichigo grabbed the phone to see he was still connected with Don.
"Sorry about that. I took care of the alien spaceship." Ichigo said.
"Ok, ok," Don said after he calmed down. "I assume you captured it instead of destroying it?"
"I did," Ichigo said.
"Be careful the spaceship was somehow able to evade our sensors," Don warned.
"Got it," Ichigo said as he ended the call. Ichigo relaxed on the plan for another thirty minutes before they arrived back at Haneda Airport. Ichigo left the plane to see Sakuya who already had the limousine ready. She took him back to the estate.
"Thank you Sakuya." Ichigo said.
"I live to serve." She said with a bow. Ichigo walked toward his office when he bumped into Elizabeth, Kunou, Senna, Eve, Yuzu, and Karin. Everyone exchanged a quick good morning with each other.
"What are you planning to do Ichi-nii?" Yuzu asked.
"I'm planning to go inside the Trainer to do some training," Ichigo answered.
"Can we see how strong you are?" Elizabeth asked.
"Why?" Ichigo asked.
"We've heard seen Okaa-san's memories of your battles and want to experience how strong you are," Kunou said.
"Sure." Ichigo decided.
"Really?" Elizabeth asked.
"I'm sure." Ichigo turned to Yuzu and Karin. "I want to see how strong all of you are after a decade," Ichigo admitted. Everyone accepted Ichigo's offer. They followed behind Ichigo. They soon arrived at his office.
"Can I get someone to come out and watch over the Trainer?" Ichigo asked. Shirayuki appeared.
"Thank you Shirayuki." Ichigo thanked.
"No problem." She replied as she took the Trainer from Ichigo. She sent everyone into the Trainer.
Scene Change: Trainer
Everyone appeared in the Trainer. They were standing on an empty plain, devoid of vegetation.
"So, who wants to go first?" Ichigo asked.
"I'll go first," Karin said.
"Very well," Ichigo said. "Don't worry, I won't use Bahamut on you."
"Ok," Karin said. Ichigo summoned a tablet and pressed a button. A transparent barrier surrounded Yuzu, Elizabeth, Kunou, and Senna.
"That should protect you from the fighting," Ichigo said. Karin twisted her wrist, revealing a golden wrist bracelet with a red-orange gem. Karin touched the red-orange gem.
"Rend the obsidian darkness! Scorch Heaven and Earth!" Karin said as red-orange energy began to revolve around Karin. "Let your rage explode!" Karin finished as she was engulfed by the energy. Large red and violet wings broke the energy to reveal Karin in her red and violet armor. Karin has a headband with horns, shoulder guards, chest guards, armor gloves, leg armor, and a dragon tail.
"Let's go, Vermillion," Ichigo said.
"YEAH!" Vermillion yelled as Ichigo activated Schrift B: The Battle Booster. A pair of red gauntlets appeared around his hands. Ichigo slammed the fists together before getting into a fighting stance. Health points and magical point gauges appeared above their heads.
"3…2…1…FIGHT!" A figureless voice shouted. Ichigo and Karin charged toward each other. Ichigo started with a few quick jabs with his left hand. Karin was able to swerve to the side, dodging the punches.
"To think she can dodge my regular punches." Ichigo thought. Unbeknown to them, Ichigo was fighting in his human body and had his power level suppressed with the help of the Trainer. Currently, his power level is the same as when Ichigo invaded Hueco Mundo to rescue Orihime. Not only that, but Ichigo is also purposely not using any of his Shinigami or Hollow abilities. Karin's right fist glowed red as she fired a fireball in the shape of her fist. Ichigo twisted his body to the side, avoiding the attack.
"Do you want to use the Booster Counters?" Vermillion asked.
"Not yet," Ichigo replied as he charged closer to her, beginning to attack her with a barrage of punches. Karin raised her arms, blocking as much of the attack as she could. Karin took a deep breath.
"Red Daemon's ROAR!" Karin roared as she blew a large blast of dark red flames at Ichigo.
"Three Counter Explosion," Ichigo said as his right hand glowed with energy before firing a ball of concentrated energy at the incoming flames. Both attacks exploded upon contact. Karin flew a few feet away.
"Red Daemon's Roar isn't enough to defeat Ichi-nii." Karin thought as she waited for the dust to settle. The dust settled to reveal Ichigo was fine from the attack. Ichigo twisted his back, having his right arm near the left side of his face.
"Three Counter Slash." Ichigo as his right hand glowed with energy. He slashed in front of him, sending a horizontal green crescent-shaped energy beam towards Karin.
"Red Daemon's Claw!" Karin yelled as her right hand glowed dark red as she stroked Three Counter Slash. "RAH!" She roared. The two attacks exploded, sending Karin crashing onto the ground.
"Shēnyuān, is it ready?" Karin asked.
"It is," Shēnyuān replied.
"The Hammer of Victory has forged a new beast from the darkness of the abyss." Karin began to chant. Dark red flames began to surround her. "Now emerge from the abyss, in a tower of inferno!" Karin roared as the flames continued to surround her. The flames dissipated revealing her new form. Her armor now consists of two layers. The inner layer consists of a royal blue suit reminiscent of scales. The outer layer consists of a pair of shoulder guards, wrist guards, thigh and knee guards, ankle guards, a breastplate, and a helmet that is black and red with a pair of bright yellow crystals, making all the pieces on the outer layer look like monsters. Karin retained her tail, but it now has an ax at the end (2). Karin took a deep breath.
"Red Daemon Abyss's Roar!" Karin roared as she blew a large blast of black flames at Ichigo.
"Three Counter Dash," Ichigo said as he quickly jumped away from Karin's attack. The flames incinerated the ground where Ichigo stood.
"Man, those were impressive flames," Ichigo commented.
"Master," Vermillion started.
"Yes?" Ichigo replied.
"Red Daemon Abyss's Roar!" Karin roared as she blew another blast of black flames at Ichigo.
"4 Counter Punch!" Ichigo replied. His gauntlet glowed with energy before Ichigo punched in front of him, firing a green fist-shaped ball of concentrated energy. The two-attack collided, causing another explosion.
"After talking with my father, with Kisara's and Valiona's help, I created something similar to the Scale Mail that my father's host could use," Vermillion said.
"Red Daemon Abyss's Claw!" Karin roared as she dived toward Ichigo, her right arm glowed with black flames.
"Let's try it then," Ichigo said. The green gem on Ichigo's gauntlet began to glow.
"Master, are you planning to use your weapon?" Vermillion asked.
"You have two forms?" Ichigo asked.
"Yes. Vermillion Boosted Battle Brawler is designed for you to use your martial arts while Vermillion Boosted Battle God is designed for you to use with your weapons." Vermillion explained.
"I see…Then let's go with Brawler." Ichigo said.
"Vermillion Boosted Battle Brawler!" They yelled in unison. Ichigo was engulfed in a tower of red energy.
"Did he unlock a new form?" Karin thought. The light died down to reveal Ichigo's new form. Ichigo dressed in a form-fitting crimson red knight armor. He has a green gem in the center of his chest which form a matching green path all over the armor (3) His gauntlets and shoes were slightly larger than the rest of the armor.
"Both forms can generate a Booster Counter at a faster rate than before."
"I see," Ichigo said.
"Yhwach also helped me create Boosted Stride, which follows the same principles as Hirenkyaku."
"I see…" Ichigo said.
"Brawler Assault," Ichigo said. His entire body glowed green with energy. Ichigo used Boosted Stride to charge towards Karin. He began to attack her again with a combination of punches and kicks. The onslaught of attacks once again forced Karin to the defenses. Karin tried to fly away but Ichigo continued to use Boosted Stride to follow her.
"I need to get away from him." Karin thought as she continued to block Ichigo's attacks. Karin suddenly dropped her arms.
"Red Daemon Abyss's Roar!" Karin roared as she blew another blast of black flames at Ichigo. Karin used the force of the attack to get away from Ichigo as well as to give her a moment's break. The flames dissipated, revealing Ichigo was fine.
"5 Counter Explosive Fist!" Ichigo yelled as his fist glowed green. He used Boosted Stride to get closer to Karin.
"Red Daemon Abyss's Claw!" Karin roared as her right arm was ablaze. She flew towards Ichigo. The two attacks collided with each other, causing a massive explosion. The force of the explosion sent both of them flying. Ichigo and Karin slammed onto the ground. They glanced up to see both were low on both mana points and health points.
"One last attack to settle it?" Ichigo propose.
"Sure," Karin replied.
"10 Counter Explosive Fist!" Ichigo yelled as his right arm was surrounded by the green energy.
"Raging Red Daemon Abyss's Claw!" Karin roared as her right arm was ablaze in even large black flames. Ichigo and Karin charged toward each other. Their right fists slammed into each other. Both were evenly matched. Karin grit her teeth as she tried to overcome Ichigo's attack.
"OVERLOAD!" Ichigo shouted. All the remaining Booster Counters were used on Ichigo's right hand. The excess energy propelled Ichigo's fist forward, breaking the standstill. There was a massive explosion, sending Karin flying. Ichigo lowered his hand as he watched Karin continuing to fly. Ichigo used Boosted Stride to appear behind Karin, catching her in the air. Karin looked at Ichigo.
"Looks like it's my lost," Karin admitted.
"Good job though," Ichigo replied as he kissed her on the cheek. Karin slightly blushed. Ichigo and Karin returned to where everyone else was waiting. Both deactivated their powers. Ichigo snapped his fingers, instantly healing both. The destroyed environment was instantly repaired as if the fight never happened.
"Good job Karin." Yuzu complimented.
"Thanks," Karin said.
"So, who's next?" Ichigo asked.
"I'll go next," Senna said as she stepped forward.
"Are you sure?" Yuzu asked.
"I am," Senna said.
"Were you able to reawaken your powers?" Ichigo asked.
"No," Senna admitted. "But I was able to become a battle mage." She summoned her weapon. It is a long spear that resembled a trident, with one long middle blade with two a pair of curved blades that point outwards. At the intersection of the three blades were three green gems in an upside triangle. Below this is a long wooden shaft with a sharp metal stake at the bottom.
"A battle mage?" Ichigo questioned.
"I awakened with an affinity for wind magic," Senna held up her hand as a ball of wind formed. "However, I remembered my time with Mirokumaru, so I began to learn sōjutsu." With Yasaka-himesama's help, I was able to get a magic staff forged."
"So, your yari is also a magic staff," Ichigo concluded.
"Correct." She said. "I named her Kyōfū [Strong Wind]."
"Then let's have a magic battle," Ichigo said as he summoned his magic staff. Everyone was amazed at how intricate his magic staff was.
"Man, it's been a while since you used me," Mysteria said as she manifested out of Ichigo's mindscape. Kunou could see and feel herself and her mother from Mysteria.
"This is Mysteria, the physical manifestation of my staff," Ichigo said. Mysteria looked at Kunou.
"You have a part of myself and mother in you." She said.
"Yes, I do," Mysteria confirmed.
"If I may ask, what is your staff made of?" Senna asked. She investigated wandlore when she received Kyōfū.
"The body of the staff was created by using Ash, Aspen, Ebony, Elder, Fir, Pine, and Yew. The magic cores consisted of Kisara's, Valiona's, and Ophis's blood and fang; Yasaka's and Kunou's hair; Yūyami's Feather and Thestral Hairs. Lastly, from left to right, there is a Ruby that represents fire, a Sapphire that represents water, an Emerald that represents wind or air, an Imperial Topaz that represents earth, a Black Star Gemstone that represents darkness, and a White Star Gemstone that represents light. In the center, I have a Rainbow Moonstone to balance each of the elements." Ichigo explained. The transparent barrier encased Yuzu, Karin, Elizabeth, and Kunou inside as Ichigo and Senna got into position. They could see their health points and mana points appear above them.
"Three…Two…One…FIGHT!"
Senna rushed towards Ichigo, trying to close to him. She had her arms pulled back, ready to stab him.
"Ignis Vis [Fire Force]." Ichigo cast as he swung his staff in front of him. A wave of fire erupted out of his staff, moving towards Senna.
"Gale Strike." Senna cast. Wind surrounded Senna's spear as she stabbed forwards. With the help of the wind around her spear, she was able to entangle the fire wave around the spear. Senna pulled her arms back, ready to stab forward again. "Counter Gale Strike." She cast as she stabbed her spear forward. A large flaming cyclone shouted with her spear towards Ichigo. Ichigo calmly pointed his staff at the ground.
"Earth Wall," Ichigo said as he flick his wand up. A wall of earth rose and blocked the flaming cyclone.
"Kaze Geki [Wind Strike]!" Senna yelled as she appeared behind Ichigo. She used the fire cyclone to hide her surprise attack.
"Fulgur Percutiens [Lightning Strike]." Ichigo cast, pointing his staff at Senna. A bolt of yellow lightning shot out of his staff at Senna. Senna threw her yari at the lightning as she jumped a few feet away. Her yari acted like a lightning rod, absorbing all the lightning, keeping Senna safe.
"Kazanami [Wind Wave]!" Senna cast as she had her palms out. A large cyclone shot out of her hands, towards Ichigo.
"Fulgur Ferrum [Lightning Blade]." Ichigo said as he swung his staff down as if he was wielding a sword. A bolt of lightning shot out of the staff, parting the cyclone in half. Ichigo looked to see Senna has disappeared again.
"Soradageki [Fallen Sky Strike]!" Senna yelled. Ichigo looked above to see Senna was falling toward Ichigo. Her spear was surrounded by green energy in the shape of an eagle, diving down towards its prey. Ichigo pointed his staff at the incoming Senna.
"Rugiens Sonitus [Roaring Thunder]!" Ichigo cast. Ichigo's staff glowed white as it let out a loud kra boom.
"RAH!" Senna cried. The unexpended sound startled her, causing her to lose her focus.
"Vincula Tenebrarum [Chains of Darkness]." Ichigo cast. Ichigo's staff glowed black as black chains shot out of his staff. The chains wrapped themselves around Senna.
"Oof," Senna said as she landed on the ground. "I guess this is my loss." She admitted. Ichigo released the chains around her.
"Good job," Ichigo said as he helped her up. "I could see that you relied on our wind affinity to increase your overall speed." Senna nodded her head. "But your current problem is that you lack defensive techniques and when an enemy gets close to you."
"What would you suggest?" She asked.
"Try and learn close combat techniques and add more spells to your spell arsenal," Ichigo advised.
"Thanks," Senna said. They returned to the others. The environment and themselves have fully recovered.
"So, who's next?" Ichigo asked.
"I'll go." Yuzu said.
"Ok." Ichigo accepted. Yuzu and Ichigo moved away from everyone else. Everyone else was enveloped in a transparent barrier. Yuzu flicked her wrist, revealing a silver wrist bracelet with a green gem. Yuzu touched the green gem.
"Flashing rays that tears through the sea of stars!" Yuzu said. She began to be surrounded by a green glow. "Roar throughout the world and shake the souls!" Yuzu finished. She was engulfed in green energy. The green energy was torn away by green wings. Yuzu was in a dress with white and light teal green armor. She has a headband, shoulder guards, chest guards, armor gloves, and leg armor. Behind Yuzu, Ichigo could see a tail move from side to side.
"Let's go, Nightingale," Ichigo said.
"I am ready," Nightingale replied as Ichigo activated Schrift D: The Diablo Divider. A pair of white and sky-blue wings appeared on Ichigo's back. A pair of white gloves, with sky-blue prongs stuck out where the knuckles are, appeared on his hands. "I do also have another form for you to use."
"I'll keep that in mind," Ichigo replied.
"Three…two…one… FIGHT!" Yuzu summoned her Heilig Bogen and began firing Heilig Pfeils at him.
"Dividing Wall," Ichigo said as he raised his hand. A transparent blue wall appeared in front of him. All the Heilig Pfeils hit the wall but failed to do any damage. Yuzu took a deep breath as she drew another arrow, one much larger than the other Heilig Pfeils.
"Zerstörung Heilig Pfeil! [Destruction Holy Arrow]!" Yuzu shouted as she fired the arrow. Ichigo kept his Dividing Wall activated. The Zerstörung Heilig Pfeil imbedded itself into the Dividing Wall. To Ichigo's surprise, the Zerstörung Heilig Pfeil was barely able to pierce through the Dividing Wall. To Yuzu's shock, the Zerstörung Heilig Pfeil failed to go further than that. A few moments later, the Zerstörung Heilig Pfeil dissipated, its power being divided by Dividing Wall. The Dividing Wall quickly filled the hole.
"Is this is Yuzu?" Ichigo asked. He flew towards Yuzu. Ichigo's wings acted like jet thrusters compared to Yuzu's wings which required her to flap her wings. Ichigo appeared in front of her and punched her in the face.
"Ah!" She screamed as she slammed to the ground. She gritted her teeth as she stood back up. She allowed her Heilig Bogen to disappear. She summoned a silver-white saber in her right hand. The handguard consists of an X cross (4), looking like the Quincy Zeichen. In her other hand is a matching silver-white shield with the Quincy Zeichen on it.
"I'll use the shield to attack Ichigo while preparing to use my sword to attack." Yuzu planned as she flew towards Ichigo. Heilig Pfeil began to fire from the center of her shield. Ichigo stood there and cast Dividing Wall.
"Her plan is good, but she forgot this plan would work if the target were distracted." Ichigo thought as he immediately figured out what Yuzu was planning. Ichigo discretely transferred all the divided power into his right hand.
"Heilig Schild Basch [Holy Shield Bash]!" Yuzu yelled. Her shield glowed as she slammed it into the Dividing Wall. The Dividing Wall began to shutter from the impact. She spotted cracks forming on the Dividing Wall.
"This is it!" Yuzu thought.
"Heilig Schlagen [Holy Strike]!" Yuzu yelled as she raised her sword, which glowed with white light. She slashed down, cutting the Dividing Wall.
"I did it!" She thought. Her celebration was quickly interrupted by a white fist slamming into her face. The punch sent Yuzu flying down to the ground. She slammed into the ground hard, kicking up dirt and dust. Ichigo flew down to Yuzu, blowing all the dust and dirt away. Yuzu struggled to stand up. Her shield and sword had dissipated.
"You expected me to do that?" She asked.
"I did," Ichigo admitted.
"Dam it." Yuzu said.
"Don't give up Yuzu." Someone said.
"Xīng Chén?" Yuzu questioned.
"I figured out why your attacks were doing nothing to him." Xīng Chén said.
"Why?" Yuzu asked.
"The wall can drain half the energy of anything it touches every ten seconds." Xīng Chén reported.
"So, we need to be faster than that." Yuzu concluded.
"Indeed. Looks like you need to use it." Xīng Chén replied. Green energy began to surround Yuzu as she slowly stood up.
"Looks like she still had a trick up her sleeve." Ichigo thought.
"Gathering desires will awaken a shining miracle! Become the path its light shines upon!" Yuzu yelled. She was enveloped in green light. Yuzu let out a loud shrieking roar, breaking the green light to reveal her new form. She is now in a suit of white armor, decorated in green gems. The appearance looks similar to Issei's Balance Breaker, but the red was replaced with silver-white, and the green gems took a lighter shade of green. Yuzu's wings now looked much slimmer, like jet wings, with thrusters on the edges of the wings (5). Green energy began to be released from Yuzu's wings, allowing her to float in the air.
"Show me what you got Yuzu!" Ichigo said.
"Xīng Chén Huànyǐng [Stardust Mirage]!" Yuzu shouted. Yuzu began to glow as she suddenly split into copies of herself. Ichigo stared at ten copies of Yuzu.
"Xīng Chén Zhuàngjí [Stardust Impact]!" All the copies of Yuzu shouted in unison. Their fists glowed green as they flew towards Ichigo.
"Interesting." Ichigo thought.
"Dividing Wall," Ichigo said as he encased himself in a spherical wall. All the clones of Yuzu began to punch the wall.
"They are trying to outspeed Nightingale's Divide ability." Ichigo figured out Yuzu's plan.
"It's a good strategy with what they know." Nightingale complimented as the Dividing Wall stood strong. "Unfortunately for them, I was able to figure out the best time to use the Divide on them."
"Let's end this with a bang," Ichigo said.
"Do you want Demolition God or Demonic Dragon?" She asked.
"I assume they are similar to Vermillion's?" Ichigo asked.
"Correct. Demolition God is used in conjunction with a weapon while Demonic Dragon is used by itself." Nightingale said.
"Ok, then let's go with Demonic Dragon." Ichigo decided.
"Then let us begin," Nightingale said.
"Divided Reflection," Ichigo said. Suddenly the transparent blue barrier glowed as transparent blue fists shot out of the barrier, attacking Yuzu and her clones. All the clones shattered in sparkles, leaving the original Yuzu there.
"Good job for not giving up," Ichigo said. "But it's not enough."
"Nightingale Divided Demonic Dragon!" Ichigo and Nightingale shouted in unison. A pillar of white light shot up where Ichigo was standing.
"RHARHA!" Ichigo roared, shattering the pillar of white light. Ichigo appears to be a fusion between a white dragon encased in white knight armor. It reminded Yuzu of Vali's Juggernaut Drive but there were also black tribal markings all over the body. On Ichigo's back, he gained another pair of wings. "Divided Domain!" Ichigo roared. A large sky-blue magic circle surrounded them.
"What's going on?" Yuzu thought as she could slowly feel tired.
"To think he can summon a Dragon's Domain." Xīng Chén identified.
"Dragon's Domain?" Yuzu questioned.
"It is a Dragon's territory. It takes a lot of energy to establish."
"Can we, do it?" Yuzu asked.
"Possible in the future." Xīng Chén replied. Ichigo took a deep breath.
"Demonic Luminous Burst!" Ichigo roared as he fired a large white beam of light at Yuzu. Yuzu tried to fly away but to her shock, she barely had enough energy to float in place. She was devoured by Ichigo's attack. Ichigo ended the attack and looked to see Yuzu's armor was severely charred. Her skin showed third-degree burns. Ichigo snapped his fingers. Yuzu and the environment were fully restored. Ichigo deactivated Nightingale Divided Demonic Dragon. "Are you ok?" Ichigo asked.
"I am." Yuzu replied. "How can I improve?"
"I think, you need to talk with Xīng Chén to figure out what other forms you have available and master them," Ichigo suggested.
"I will try that." She said. They returned to the transparent barrier. Yuzu was immediately tackled and hugged by her twin.
"Who's next?" Ichigo asked.
"I'll go," Kunou said.
"Sure." Ichigo accepted. Everyone else was once again enveloped in the transparent barrier.
"From what I've seen she uses her ofuros to cast spells," Ichigo recalled.
"Are you ready?" Ichigo asked.
"I am," Kunou said as a few ofuros appeared in her hands.
"Let the sky become your hunting ground, Sky Chaser!" Ichigo chanted as he activated Schrift V: The Ventus. A metallic white and green bow with a drawstring made from his divine energy appeared in Ichigo's hand.
"Three…Two…One… FIGHT!"
"Fire Fox!" Kunou shouted as she threw five ofuros. The ofuros burst into flames and shaped themselves into foxes. Ichigo calmly drew his bow strong. A green arrow appeared.
"Spiral Shot," Ichigo said as he fired the arrow. As the arrow flew it began to spin and wind gathered around it, forming a small green cyclone. Spiral Shot flew towards the fire foxes. To her shock, Spiral Shot pierced through all the fire foxes. The remaining fire combined with the Spiral Shot. Kunou jumped away from the flaming Spiral Shot. The arrow hit the ground, causing an explosion. The dust settled to reveal a crater with a spiral groove mark.
"Don't get distracted," Ichigo said as he fired more Spiral Shots at Kunou.
"Henshin [Transform]." Kunou mentally cast as she transformed into a golden kitsune. She appeared to be 51 cm (20.1 inches) long. She easily was able to dodge the attacks. Ichigo pointed Sky Chaser in the air as he drew a large green arrow.
"Piercing Storm," Ichigo said as he fired his arrow up in the air. As the arrow began to fall, it suddenly split apart. In a few moments, the sky was full of arrows.
"What the fuck!" Kunou shouted. "Barrier!" A golden barrier surround Kunou as the arrows landed all around her. She gritted her teeth as she tried to endure the attacks.
"Then let me end this," Ichigo said as he drew another arrow. This one was golden.
"Storm Piercer," Ichigo said as he fired the arrow. As the arrow flew it began to spin and wind gathered around it, forming a golden cyclone. The golden cyclone easily broke through Kunou's barrier and pierced into her body.
"AH!" Kunou shouted in pain as the rest of Piercing Storm hit her. Ichigo lowered Sky Chaser, seeing the battle was over. Ichigo walked over to Kunou.
"Are you ok?" Ichigo asked as Kunou and the environment healed itself.
"I'm," Kunou said as Ichigo helped her up. They returned to the transparent dome.
"I guess I'm next," Elizabeth said as she walked towards Ichigo. The transparent dome appeared around everyone else.
"Before we begin, are you weak against water?" Ichigo asked as he remembered one of Moka's weaknesses was pure water.
"No." Elizabeth shook her head. "Due to me being born a dhampir, I wasn't weak against water or holy energy."
"I see…" Ichigo said.
"Once you accepted Mother in the peerage, she's no longer weak to water or holy energy," Elizabeth added.
"Oh, ok," Ichigo said, accepting Elizabeth's words. Ichigo activated Schrift F: Fengári Neró [Moon Water].
"Rage Through the Seas of the Heavens, Nejibana," Ichigo said as Nejibana appeared in his hand. It's a cross between a trident, a bishamon yari, and a Ji with a crystalline appearance. It bears a blue horsehair tassel. The two side blades are straight with concave edges. The end of Nejibana turns into a corkscrew/drill shape.
"Branch of Sin: Blood Awakening," Elizabeth said as her blood began to leak out of her skin and harden into armor. In her hands are a sword and shield. She immediately took a defensive position.
"Three…two…one…FIGHT!"
"Suichūtotsu [Water Pillar Thrust," Ichigo said. Water appeared around Nejibana as Ichigo began thrusting forward, firing jets of water at Elizabeth.
"Branch of Sin: Blood Crystal." She said as she raised her shield. The blood on her armor and shield crystalized, becoming much harder, as she blocked Ichigo's attack.
"Shōha [Colliding Wave," Ichigo said as he swung Nejibana upward. A large wave of water shot out of the top of Nejibana.
"Branch of Sin: Sky Slash," Elizabeth said as she raised her sword. She slashed the wave down, parting it into two.
"Suidanha [Severing Wave]!" Ichigo yelled as he delivered a powerful downwards slash with Nejibana, unleashing a powerful high-pressure stream.
"Shit!" Elizabeth thought as she moved her shield in front of her. The powerful high-pressure stream easily sliced through the shield and parts of her armor.
"AH!" She screamed in pain. A large amount of water gathered around the head of Nejibana.
"Suiryū [Water Dragon]!" Ichigo roared as he thrust Nejibana forwards. A large jet of water shot out of Nejibana. The head of the jet of water transformed into a dragon head. The dragon's head opened its mouth and the Suiryū swallowed Nejibana. "Suirō [Water Prison," Ichigo said as he clenched his left hand. The leftover water from Suiryū transformed into a sphere of water. Elizabeth floated in the Suirō, unable to move. It didn't take long before Elizabeth drowned. Ichigo relaxed his left hand, allowing Suirō to fall apart. Ichigo reset Elizabeth and the environment. She opened her eyes and immediately pouted.
"That was hard." She said. Ichigo chuckled as he deactivated Schrift F: Fengári Neró [Moon Water].
"In the Trainer, we fight to the death since you can't die in here," Ichigo said as he helped her up. They regrouped with the others.
"My turn," Eve said as she walked towards Ichigo, trading spaces with Elizabeth.
"Are you ready?" Ichigo asked as he activated Schrift O: The Oversoul.
"I am," Eve said as her hair began to float.
"Three…Two…One…Fight!"
"Four hair fists." She thought as her four bundles of hair transformed into fists and began to punch Ichigo.
"Nemean Lion skin and Hyperborean Giant body." Ichigo thought as he began to grow taller and more muscular. His face turned into a lion and his skin turned golden. He ignored Eve's punches, since they can't pierce his skin, and charged toward her.
"Four hair daggers." Eve thought as her four hair fists transformed into hair daggers. She had them strike Ichigo. Unfortunately for Eve, her attacks didn't do anything. Ichigo raised his right hand and tried to punch Eve.
"White wings." Eve thought as a pair of white wings grew out of her back. She quickly flew up in the air, dodging Ichigo's attack.
"Hydra left arm." Ichigo thought as his left arm began to transform. It gained scales and each finger transformed into a snake. The snakes lunged at Eve, trying to bite her. Eve continued to dodge the snakes.
"Griffin body, Nemean Lion skin, and Hydra tail." Ichigo thought. His body began to transform again. Ichigo's body is now a griffin with golden skin, and nine snakes for his tail. Ichigo took a running start before flying towards Eve.
"Laser cannon." Eve thought. Her four hair daggers transformed into one giant cannon. She fired an energy blast at Ichigo. Ichigo quickly swerved to the side, dodging the attack. Eve aimed her cannon and fired again. Ichigo swerved to the side again, this time continuing to fly towards Eve. She fired the cannon once again.
"Normal." Ichigo thought. Ichigo dodged Eve's attack due to the sudden size change. "Nemean Lion skin and single head Hydra body." Ichigo thought as he transformed into a large snake with golden scales. Ichigo quickly coiled around her body before should react.
"Laser cannon barrage." Eve thought. The single cannon split into many little cannons. All of them began to fire at Ichigo. Ichigo grit his teeth as he tried his best to resist Eve's attack while squeezing her tight. Eventually, Ichigo crushed all the bones in her body.
"AHHHHH!" She screamed in pain, causing her to lose focus on her powers, causing her hair canons to revert back to normal.
"Human." Ichigo thought as he transformed back to his human form.
"Good job." Ichigo complimented as he undid all the damage to Eve and the environment.
"Thank you," Eve replied. Ichigo summoned the tablet and had it create a few chairs for them to relax.
"Tou-san, you're still as strong as ever." Kunou began. Everyone else nodded their heads.
"You are still holding back," Karin said.
"I was," Ichigo admitted. "My power level was suppressed to the same level as when I invaded Hueco Mundo. Not only that, but I also forbid myself from using any of my Shinigami or Hollow abilities." All of them were shocked.
"It boils down to you only using like five percent of your full power?" Senna asked.
"Sure," Ichigo said, not wanting to tell them that it's more likely less than one percent of his full power. Ichigo looked at the time on his tablet. "It's time for lunch," Ichigo said. Everyone exited the trainer and went to lunch.
Time Skip: One hour later
Ichigo returned to the Trainer and appeared in front of the frozen spaceship. Behind Ichigo was Yhwach, Zangetsu, Kyōka, Hōgyoku, Kisara, Valiona, Mysteria, Azrael, Vermillion, and Nightingale. Everyone was armed, ready for battle.
"Everyone ready?" Ichigo asked. Everyone else nodded their heads. Ichigo walked towards the frozen spaceship. The spaceship appeared to be 28 meters (30.62 yards) long by 23 meters (25.15 yards) wide. The outside of the ship appeared black. In front of the spaceship, there was a piece of what appeared to be transparent glass. Ichigo activated Schrift H:The Hakaimono [Destroyer, and placed his hand on the transparent glass, slowly destroying it. Ichigo slipped inside the spaceship.
"Did you find any aliens yet?" Mysteria asked.
"Nothing yet," Ichigo reported as he continued to explore the spaceship. The walls of the spaceship were black and squishy. There are clear tubes filled with purple liquid along the walls of the spaceship.
"The spaceship appeared to be a mix between organic and machine," Ichigo mentioned as he followed the clear tubes. Eventually, he arrived in a room where all the tubes lead into a large dark purple chamber. Beside the chamber was some kind of terminal. Ichigo tried to interact with the terminal, but it didn't respond. Ichigo placed his hand on the terminal and activated Schrift R: The Rekishi [History]. Ichigo's eyes widen as he began to learn the history of this spaceship.
Rekishi Change: Alien Spaceship's Origin
Ichigo opened his eyes he was inside some kind of production site. He looked to the side to see a group of green-skinned humanoid aliens with no hair. They were dressed in white lab coats.
"Leader, are you sure this is going to work?" One of the aliens asked.
"It has to." The Leader replied. "We poured everything we have to create this." Ichigo could see around him was a small fleet of nine spaceships similar to the one Ichigo captured. Ichigo grabbed one of the spaceships as the fleet of spaceships flew out of the production site into outer space. Ichigo could see that the production site was inside a spaceship, and they are in an intergalactic war.
"This feels straight out of a Gundam Manga." Ichigo thought as he saw the humongous white spaceships floating in space. Due to how small the fleet of spaceships was, they were able to dodge all the attacks from the enemy. They soon landed on the humongous white spaceship. Transparent tubes shot out of the bottom of the small spaceship and attached themselves to the frame of the humongous white spaceship. Ichigo spotted dark purple liquid that began to cover the white ship. Small metallic black six-legged creatures rose out of the dark purple liquid and began to eat the humongous spaceship. In less than an hour, the humongous white spaceship was now black and began producing more little black spaceships.
"So, this ship is like an alien parasite, eating the host and transforming it into one of them.
In a few hours, the entire enemy fleet had been transformed into a fleet of black spaceships. Ichigo watched as the entire fleet of black spaceships turned to their creators and attacked them. "Didn't the scientist program a way to control them?" Ichigo thought as he flew back down to the production site.
"What's going on! Why are they attacking us!" One of the scientists yelled. One of the screens turned black with a white straight line.
"I am sorry my former master," A monotone genderless voice projected out of a speaker. The white straight line turned into a wave.
"Who are you?" One of the scientists asked.
"I…" The monotone genderless voice began to answer. Suddenly they heard a sharp pitch of static. All the scientists covered their ears from the sound. Ichigo could see the white wave suddenly spiked, due to the sharp pitch of static.
"I must assimilate all knowledge." The genderless voice said. The voice's tone changed from monotone to an assertive tone. The scientists appeared to didn't notice the change.
"The static must have altered its programming." Ichigo thought.
"CRASH! BOOM!" The entire industrial site violently shook, knocking all the scientists off their feet. Before the scientists could react, the nearby wall crumbled as the small metallic black six-legged creatures burst through the opening. The scientists tried to fight against the metallic creatures, but they were too fast for them.
"Resistance is futile." The assertive genderless voice projected. Ichigo stood there and watched the scientists were consumed by the small metallic black six-legged creatures. The small metallic black six-legged creatures melted into a liquid and combined. The black metallic liquid began to solidify, taking a female humanoid shape. Ichigo now could see a female with purple skin. Ichigo could see black circuit patterns all over her body. She is about 2.5 meters (8.2 feet) tall. She has 10 arms around her body. She has long white hair that is kept up by two pigtails in the back with fringes in the front. On her forehead were three green circles positioned in an upside-down triangle, with the two lines connecting the side circles to the central one, making it look like the letter V. She opened her eyes revealing iris-less white eyes.
"I am Intelligentsia." She declared. "My initial purpose is to seek out all knowledge in the universe and digitize all knowledge in the universe." She said. Eight of her ten hands transformed into tentacles as she began to digitize all the knowledge around her.
Scene Change: Trainer
Ichigo opened his eyes as he finished looking at the history of the spaceship. Ichigo turned Schrift R: The Rekishi [History] off.
"What did you find out?" Kyōka asked. Ichigo told them what he found out from the spaceship.
"So, what do you want to do with this?" Hōgyoku asked.
"I was wondering if we can use a schrift to take over this spaceship," Ichigo asked. Everyone turned to Yhwach.
"Hm… it might be possible," Yhwach admitted. Everyone looked at him weirdly. "Yūhabahha had a Sternritter that was similar to a robot (6)," Yhwach said.
"Can we control her though?" Kyōka asked.
"Worse comes to worst we destroy it," Zangetsu suggested. Ichigo appeared outside the spaceship. Yhwach handed him a nameless Schrift. Ichigo forced the schrift to absorb the spaceship. Once the spaceship was inside the Schrift, the spaceship regained control of itself and it began to fight against the effect of the Schrift, causing it to shake in Ichigo's hand.
"The spaceship is trying to resist," Yhwach said. Suddenly divine energy shot out of Ichigo's body and into the Schrift. Yhwach's eyes widen as he recognized the divine energy. "The dormant blessing of Hephaestus." After five minutes, the Schrift stopped shaking. "Looks like the Schrift won," Yhwach said. He turned to Ichigo. "Be careful," Yhwach said.
"I know but to be safe." Ichigo stuck his hand out. "Stand before Creation. Fall after The End. Chrónou Génesi." Ichigo chanted as he activated Schrift C: The Chrónou Árchonta [Master of Time]. Chrónou Génesi appeared in his hand. He handed it to Hōgyoku. "Use this if something bad happens."
"Ok." Hōgyoku said as she took Chrónou Génesi from Ichigo.
"I, Kurosaki Ichigo, bestow upon myself this schrift," Ichigo said as he pushed it into himself. Black liquid erupted out of his body and began to wrap itself around Ichigo. "Ichigo!" Hōgyoku shouted as she pointed Chrónou Génesi at Ichigo, ready to activate it.
"Not yet," Ichigo said. The black liquid solidified, forming a black skintight suit that covered everything from his neck down. Ichigo could see silver buttons with silver circuit lines on both sides of his neck, shoulders, wrists, sides of his thigh, and knees. Ichigo quickly performed a few stretches with the skintight suit and found it acted as if it was his skin.
"Is the suit meets Master's expectations?" Someone asked.
"I assume you are the physical manifestation of the Schrift?" Ichigo asked. The black skintight suit liquidized and easily slipped off Ichigo's body. The black liquid solidified, forming a tall woman with aqua-colored skin with faint blue hexagons all over her slender yet curvaceous body. She has shoulder-length black hair. Her eyes are covered by a pair of black visors that goes all around her eyes. She has on an unbuttoned white ankle-length haori. The haori is secured by a pair of golden straps that goes from her neck and wraps underneath her armpits. The golden straps are then secured to a black collar on her neck. She also has a small white obi wrapped around her waist, further securing the unbuttoned haori, and emphasizing her large breasts. She has a pair of black arm-enclosed vambraces with two aqua lines at every third of the vambraces. The sleeves of the haori are partially tucked inside the vambrace, making the arm sleeves puffy and doesn't restrict her movements. Lastly, she has on a pair of black-armored bikini bottoms and knee-length armored stockings (7).
"I am the physical manifestation of the nameless Schrift that contained the spaceship of Intelligentsia." She introduced.
"In that case, the Schrift will be known as Schrift X: The Xenomachina." Ichigo named.
"In that case, I am the physical manifestation of Schrift X: The Xenomachina." She corrected.
"Do you have a name?" Yhwach asked.
"I do not." She said as she turned to Ichigo. "Master, please bestow me a name."
"In that case, you will be Chishiki [Knowledge," Ichigo said.
"In that case, I am Chishiki, the physical manifestation of Schrift X: The Xenomachina." She corrected.
"So, what can you do?" Ichigo asked.
"Please summon a few machines for me to demonstrate my powers. Make sure these are machines that are not normal in Japan."
"Let's see," Kyōka said as she looked through the tablet. She summoned some kind of helicopter plane hybrid, a truck with missile launchers on the back, a green tank, and a large excavator with a wheel with scoops all over the wheel.
"My first ability allows me to release tiny black nanobots which can break down anything, analyze the composition, and store the results in my memory/the Schrift." Chishiki raised her hands at the machines. Black tentacles with silver circuit lines shot out of her palms. The tentacles landed on the machines. The machines were quickly covered in black liquid and absorbed by the black tentacles. The tentacles quickly retracted back to Chishiki.
"The helicopter is MV-22B which is a modified V-22 Osprey that is used by the United State Marine Corps. The truck with missile launchers is a PR50 MRL with the WS-22 series missiles. The green tank is a Leopard 2A4 Tank that is used by many NATO countries. The large excavator is a Barracuda compact bucket wheel excavator." Chishiki identified. "I can then store the remaining physical matter to use at a future time or use them to produce more nanobots."
"Is producing more nanobots the only thing you can do?" Yhwach asked.
"I can also do this." Chishiki raised her hand as a large jet of black liquid shot out of her hand. The black liquid began to solidify, forming a large mechanical monstrosity. The mechanical monstrosity stood over 100 meters (109.36 yards) tall. The head of the mechanical monstrosity appeared to be similar to the cockpit of the MV-22B. The shoulders appeared to also be the propellers of the MV-22B The body and the right arm of the mechanical monstrosity appeared to be similar to the upper portion of the Barracuda compact bucket wheel excavator. The left arm of the mechanical monstrosity appears to be similar to the PR50 MRL truck but with a fist instead of a truck face. The mechanical monstrosity's body began to shake as it turned on. "I can also use my collected knowledge and my nanobots to create mechanical monstrosities with a simple thought." The mechanical monstrosity powered down and transformed back into the black liquid, which returned to Chishiki.
"Where does that knowledge get stored?" Ichigo asked.
"All knowledge is stored inside Schrift X: The Xenomachina," Chishiki answered.
"Is Intelligentsia able to communicate with you?" Kyōka asked.
"No. The moment the spaceship was absorbed by Schrift X: The Xenomachina, Intelligentsia lost all forms of communication with that spaceship." Chishikianswered.
"In a situation where we have to fight Intelligentsia, who will you be loyal to?" Ichigo asked.
"I am loyal to you, my Master." Chishiki truthfully answered.
"Do you think you would be able to defeat Intelligentsia?" Ichigo asked.
"It might be possible if we do a multi-front assault on her." Chishiki theorized.
"Are you ok if I share with her some of your memories?" Kyōka asked as she turned to Ichigo.
"Sure," Ichigo replied.
"Master, can you please keep the suit active?" Chishiki asked.
"Why?" Ichigo asked.
"I'm currently improving your body on a molecular level." She explained.
"That fine." Ichigo replied. With the immediate danger averted, everyone except Yhwach returned to Ichigo's mindscape. "So, what do you want to talk about?" Ichigo asked.
"It's regarding your Schrift. Before you attack the Overlords, I want you to finish designing the last of the Schrift." Yhwach said as he handed a list to Ichigo.
"So, Schrift K, J, L, Q, and S. You also want me to reconsider Schrift I." Ichigo read.
"Indeed," Yhwach said.
"Well, we do have a candidate for Schrift J," Ichigo said as he summoned the Ten Rings.
"So, the Jū Yubiwa [10 Rings]?" Yhwach guessed.
"Correct," Ichigo said. He activated Schrift R: The Rekishi [History] and focused on the Ten Rings. Ichigo's eyes widen as he began to dive into the history of the Ten Rings.
Scene Change: History of the Ten Rings
Ichigo arrived to see two beings talking to each other. One of them was a large humanoid-like being encased in purple and silver armor. The other one appeared humanoid encased in a metallic silver skinsuit while riding a surfboard made of the same metallic silver.
"Lord Galactus," The metallic silver humanoid said, "Are you sure this is a good idea?"
"My Herald, are you questioning my decision?" Galactus asked.
"No, my Lord." The Herald quickly replied. "But I am considering if your daughter would apricate your efforts."
"She is still young," Galactus said. "This is why I want her to have an experience Herald who can help guide and control her."
"Sounds like he's trying to find a babysitter for his daughter." Ichigo thought.
"Do you think the requirements for the rings are too much?" The Herald asked.
"No, I believe that they are good enough," Galactus said. "The person must identify themselves as male, must be strong enough to destroy a planet, experience in being a mentor, and can handle the bit of Cosmic imbue in the rings. Once the person meets those criteria, they will be teleported here for me to meet them and test them." Galactus waved his hand as multiple portals appeared around them. Galactus waved his hand sending millions of rings into the portals, scattering them all around the multiverse. Ichigo could see the Ten Rings he had were sent to different sides of the universe.
"I think that's enough." Ichigo thought as he stopped Schrift R: The Rekishi [History] and left.
Scene Change: Trainer
Ichigo blinked as he reappeared in the Trainer.
"Give me a moment," Ichigo said as he summoned a chair and sat down.
"Based on what I saw, once I assimilate with the power of Cosmic, I would likely qualify to meet Galactus and his Herald." Ichigo thought. "But I will deal with that later," Ichigo said as he stood up.
"Yhwach, please hand me a nameless Schrift." Ichigo asked.
"Ok," Yhwach said as he summon a nameless Schrift. Ichigo took the Ten Rings and placed them into the Schrift. The Ten Rings glowed with black energy as they began to revolve around the Schrift. After a few moments, the rings stopped revolving and settled inside the Schrift. "Be careful," Yhwach said.
"I will," Ichigo replied. "Just make sure any energy I release doesn't escape out of the Trainer."
"I will try," Yhwach said as he summoned the tablet.
"I, Kurosaki Ichigo, bestow upon myself this schrift," Ichigo said as he pushed it into himself. The Ten Rings split into two groups of five and appeared on each of Ichigo's arms. Ichigo looked to see the top, middle, and bottom of the rings are still black but shinier than before. The engravings are now white, making them stand out much more than before. The sides between the top, middle, and bottom now appeared red. Ichigo could feel the Ten Rings trying to send out a signal but Ichigo and Yhwach were able to stop it. "I name this schrift, Schrift J: The Jūko Uchūbiwa [Ten Cosmic Rings]." Ichigo said.
"How do you feel?" Yhwach asked.
"I'm ok," Ichigo said. "Create a mountain for me." He asked. Yhwach pressed a button as a copy of Mount Fuji. Ichigo pulled his fist back and concentrated on one ring. The first ring on Ichigo's right arm glowed with silver energy. Ichigo restricted all his strength to a regular human with the boost from Schrift J: The Jūko Uchūbiwa as he punched towards Mount Fuji. The ring shot out of his right arm towards Mount Fuji. The ring pierced into Mount Fuji and caused a large explosion. The dust settled to see about a third of Mount Fuji was destroyed. With a moment of thought, the ring shot out of the rubble and flew back to Ichigo. Ichigo used Schrift R: The Rekishi [History] on the Ten Rings to see how Xu Wenwu would use them. After attending mastery over the Ten Rings, Ichigo sealed Schrift J: The Jūko Uchūbiwa.
"Are you ready to make the next Schrift?" Yhwach asked.
"I am," Ichigo said.
"Can I suggest something?" Someone asked.
I apologize for the abrupt ending of this chapter. I have a few more Schrifts to flesh out and if I do it in this chapter, then this will easily be over 20k.
