Hi-Dilly-Doh guys! I'm DevilsZack00 and yes, Bleach: DxD is BACK!
*Insert happy sound effects*
It's been a while huh? I'm sorry for the late, almost three weeks ... I'm sorry, unfortunately the school and chapters of FFXV: Journey In Remnant and Blazblue Aura Xrd didn't help. Anyway, before I wish you happy reading, I tell you that I have made the decision to release Bleach DxD once a month for now, so yes: It has become a fanfiction with monthly updates. Yeeeh ...
Btw Burn The Witch was so beautiful that Tite Kubo, after seeing that it was a success, decided to continue serializing the manga!
I propose you a survey on the iconic girls of Burn The Witch! Who do you prefer: Noel or Ninny?
I personally prefer Ninny, but hey, I'm curious about your opinions!
Due to the time given by the timezone here in Italy, I can't respond to reviews this time either, sorry guys. The November chapter will have a loot of responses, I swear.
Like every chapter, this chapter has been translated with Google Translate BUT, as it happens from ... 5/6 chapters, I started to manually correct grammatical errors in the version translated by Google ... I hope not to make grammatical mistakes. In case there are ... I remember that I am Italian.
Now I wish you a good read. See ya!

With Ichigo ...
"Kaito, to recap everything: We are in front of the Kokabiel base, that is the church, ready to infiltrate us ... and you wanted to bring Senna too?" Ichigo, intent on making a facepalm with his right hand, observed Kaito while with his left hand pointed to Senna and he smiled, greeting the two with one hand as he approached them
"Yep" Kaito said simply with a slight flirtatious smile on his face. "Do you worry that your girlfriend might get hurt?"
"Sigh, forget it." Ichigo shook his head, ignoring Kaito's comment
"Hey guys!" Senna smiled at the two as she joined them. "Sorry I'm late"
"Don't worry, Senna-chan" Kaito put a hand in his pocket. "We've just arrived too, aren't we, Ichigo-kun?"
"Yes-" Ichigo smiled slightly and then became serious and looked at Senna "-Are you sure about this? We don't know what will happen"
"Don't worry, Ichigo, I can do it!" Senna gave a thumbs up as she winked at the Shinigami-Daigo
"... Alright then. Kaito, what should we expect?" Ichigo turned to Kaito, with the latter pulling his hand out of his pocket.
"Obviously? Trouble. Seriously, lots of information and, if possible, the stolen Excalibur and Vampa Galilei" Kaito ran a hand through his hair as he explained. Meanwhile, Senna and Ichigo switched into their Shinigami forms.
"Vampa Galilei?" The two Shinigami said at the same time
Kaito nodded "Vampa is an ex-Archbishop banished and excommunicated by the church ... because he was the head of the Holy Sword project Yuuto was in. Probably he's helping Kokabiel"
"I see, then we'll catch him." Ichigo watched Kaito smile as Senna raised her hand.
"Great, then let's start 'Operation Church Infiltration'!" The exuberant female Shinigami said to her friends, who giggled.
"Let's just say he doesn't need a name, 'kay? And remember: We don't have to get caught and / or caught, okay?" Kaito said as he approached the church walls. "You two, activate your powers and-" The time Kaito was asking the question, and Ichigo and Senna had already entered thanks to their Shunpo.
"... Thanks for leaving me behind, huh?!"
Meanwhile, at that moment, with Yuuto and Issei ...
(Play "Bleach OST - Invasion")
Yuuto and Issei were paralyzed with fear as Issei saw Zero's Cero getting closer and closer to them. Were they really going to die in that alley? Was it really the end for them?
... Heck, no! It couldn't end like this!
"Tch ... I can't die now ... not before I take Buchou's Censored!" (Hey, this is still a T-themed fanfic) With an enormous effort of will, Issei managed to move and then head towards the Cero, starting to bring his left fist in front of him. "DRAGON SHOOOT!" Issei yelled as he fired a green beam at the Cero, managing to dispel it with his attack.
"Oh oh! Not bad, Dragon Boy, really not bad" Zero feigned applause. "Sure, it was mere luck, but I recognize your willpower"
"You haven't seen anything yet, 'cause we're gonna to kick your ass!" Issei raised his right fist and then turned to Yuuto. "Right, Yuuto?"
" Yes!" Yuuto shook his head and, clutching his sword, observed Zero "We're gonna to beat you, Zero!"
"Kukukuh ... and okay, if you wish to die, then I'll settle you right away!" Zero prepared his Katana until he turned to Freed "Get away, we need you for our real goal, Freed!"
"Tch ... alright" Freed turned and started walking away until he stopped when a female voice stopped him.
"Not on our watch!"
(End "Bleach OST - Invasion")
With Ichigo and Senna ...
The two Shinigamis were walking through the immense hall of the completely empty church west-like.
"Ok, it's a normal church" Ichigo sighed as he ran a hand over his hair. "Don't tell me Kaito was wrong"
"What if there is actually a secret entrance?" Senna put a finger on her chin as she approached the altar. "Like a candlestick that's actually a lever?"
"Come on, such a trivial cliché?" Ichigo went to the candlestick and put a hand in it. "Well, you heard what Kokabiel did, didn't you? Kokabiel seems very intelligent, I don't think-" As he spoke, Ichigo pulled the candlestick, which ... activated a mechanism that opened a trap door next to the altar.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Ichi-"
"No ... just ... no"
"... maybe we should expect more clichés?"
"... Yeah ... about cliché-" As he spoke, Ichigo looked out over the open trap door. "-Yep, stairs ... and many"
The silence was too embarrassing, but luckily it was interrupted by Kaito's entry into the church. Looking around and analyzing the structure, Kaito emitted a groan of disgust due to his existence as a devil.
"Thanks for leaving me alone out there eh, what friends you are?" Kaito sighed as he walked over to the two and noticed the hatch. "Oh, here's the entrance. Was it difficult to find?"
"Forget it, we better go ahead" Ichigo approached the hatch and began to descend.
"Cliché" Senna muttered as she followed Ichigo.
"Huh? Cliché? What happened?" Kaito raised a confused eyebrow as he observed first Ichigo and then Senna and then followed them into the trap door. The stairs that were under the hatch were narrow and long with torches on the sides, the classic cliché as mentioned above.
"These stairs are quite narrow" the Reaper commented as he walked down the stairs with the two Shinigamis in front of him. "Do you see anything Ichigo?"
"Let's see: Stairs, stairs, stairs aaaand the end of the stairs" Ichigo said using a slight sarcasm.
"Eeh? Are they that long?" Senna complained as she walked.
"Now I understand why Senna said cliché earlier." Kaito sighed as she realized what Senna said earlier.
After a few minutes of walking, the three found themselves in a stone corridor still lit by torches. After a few meters of walking, however, the corridor splits into two corridors.
"Doesn't that seem ... a little too cliché?" Kaito asked as he observed the entrances to the two corridors. "Surely it's a trap. Ichigo, Senna, you two-"
"Ichigo and I are going to this, laterbye!" With the Shunpo, Senna took Ichigo by the arm and entered the corridor on the right, leaving Kaito alone as Ichigo yelled a "Waaaaiiiit!"
Kaito sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose until ...
"... Are you kidding me ?!"
With Kaito ...
Kaito had been walking for about ten minutes in the chosen corridor, the one on the left. Similar to the previous corridor, this corridor was embellished only by torches and, occasionally, by doors, doors that Kaito tried to open, but without success.
"Did I take the corridor with only closed doors?" The boy wondered as he stopped at the nth door. Bringing her hand closer to the handle, Kaito turned it and, unexpectedly, felt the mechanism work. 'Perfect, now let's see what will be there' Opening the door and entering the room, Kaito found himself in what appeared to be someone's room: A simple single bed against the left wall of the room, a desk and a wooden stool against the right wall, some shelves with various books, a torch still on and finally a worn diary on the desk.
(Play "Bleach OST - Nothing Can Be Explained")
Approaching the desk, Kaito looked carefully at the diary: It was a worn leather diary. "Wait, can this be Vampa's diary?" Kaito muttered to himself as he took the diary and began to leaf through it casually, trying to find something useful but, alas, Latin was not part of the languages he knew and what was written in the diary was all in Latin, the only luck that had was that there were also sketches along with notes on each page, and various sketches depicted swords.
"Bingo!" Kaito smiled as he closed the diary and held it in his hand. Noticing that there was nothing else of interest in the room, Kaito went out until ...
BOOM!
"What the- ?!" Kaito swore as he felt the whole area shake, sending too much dust off the ceiling. 'Something is happening upstairs!' He thought as he ran down the corridor until, after running for two minutes, he went up the stairs, returning to the immense abandoned church ...

... Whose insides were destroyed as Ichigo was kneeling while holding his left shoulder with his left hand and brandishing Zangetsu in his left hand. Ichigo then, using Zangetsu, slowly gets up and spat some blood from his mouth.
"Ichigo?! 'The hell is going on, man?! " Kaito evoked Truth & Liar in his right hand and then tried to get close to his friend.
"Kaito?" Ichigo, after getting up, moved his gaze to Kaito until he shouted "Wait, stop!"
"Uh?" Kaito stopped in confusion, and did it in time: In front of him, a spear of light stuck to the ground. "A spear of light ?!" Following the direction where the spear came from, Kaito's eyes widened when he saw the wanted Fallen Angel, Kokabiel; The Genocide Archbishop, Vampa Galilei and, finally ... Senna, who was passed out and held in the arms of Vampa in a bride style.
"Senna?!" Kaito was surprised when he saw his classmate passed out and in the arms of a monster with a human body.
"Let her go!" Ichigo shouted as he prepared to fight again, pointing Zangetsu at Kokabiel, who laughed lightly.
"Unfortunately, this girl serves our plan, especially for a certain masked person" Kokabiel smiled slightly. "If you want to get it back, try to follow us, Kurosaki Ichigo, Kaito Kurogane!" That said, Kokabiel flew away as Vampa activated a portal beneath his feet.
"Oh? I see you found my diary." Vampa saw the diary in Kaito's hand. "Treat it well," he said jokingly as he disappeared with the portal.
"Vampa, wait! Aaand he's gone…Damn, Ichigo, can you run?!" Kaito turned to Ichigo, only to see him put Zangetsu behind his back and start running towards the exit. "Ichigo?!"
"I can sense Senna, we have to follow them!" He simply said then quit, followed immediately by Kaito.
"Wait for me!"
(End "Bleach OST - Fade To Black B07A")
Meanwhile, in the alley of the clash between Exorcists, Devils and Zero ...
"Not on our watch!" A female voice rang out in the alley, making everyone's gaze shift upwards, noticing two female figures above the roof of the building on the right: Xenovia and Irina.
"In the name of our Lord Savior God, we're going to capture you, Freed!" Xenovia said as, Excalibur Destruction in hand, she launched herself from the roof, followed by Irina, and then landed in front of Issei and Yuuto.
"I-Irina?! Xenovia?! " Issei was surprised by their appearance. Yuuto, however, a little less.
"What the hell are you two doing here? This is our battle!" He said.
"Shut up, Knight of Gremory" Xenovia gave Yuuto a cold look. "We are here to catch Freed and his partner, it is a coincidence that we helped you." Noticing that Saji and Koneko were KO, Xenovia sighed harshly. "Take those two away, we will take care of Freed and his partner"
Issei and Yuuto looked at each other as, in silence, they took Saji and Koneko and then left the alley.
"Hahah! Now it's you bitches! " Freed chuckled at the sight of the exorcists as, with Excalibur rapidity in hand, he was ready to return to the battle. I'll play a bit with you- "
"Freed-" Zero's simple voice stopped Freed's every movement. "-Go" Zero turned his gaze slightly, but it was enough for Freed to see the yellow eyes of the mask.
"Tch ... fine" Freed turned and started to escape, running and jumping towards the rooftops, taking advantage of the abilities granted by Excalibur Rapidity.
"Wait, Freed!" Xenovia gritted her teeth. She wanted to chase Freed with all her will, but the masked man in front of her looked like an incredibly solid wall. Any action she could take to chase Freed would be useless with him. Pointing the Excalibur Destruction towards Zero, Xenovia glanced to her friend. "Irina, are you ready?"
"Yes" Irina, holding the Excalibur Mimic in her hands, nodded to Xenovia.
"The two exorcist now too, huh?" Zero observed the two exorcists and then giggled slightly.
"Prepare for surrender, enemy of the Holy Church! Irina, let's go!" At the signal, Xenovia and Irina sprinted towards Zero as the latter shook his head in amusement.
"Surrender? Ah! I hope you can entertain me then! Ahahahahah!"
(Play "Bleach OST - Treachery")
"Uooh!" Irina finished the sprint, finding herself on Zero's right side and, with a quick movement, she was already lowering the blade of her Excalibur Mimic vertically towards Zero, who raised the katana in his right hand with inhuman speed, parrying the attack of Irina and at the same time crossing swords with her. "He's fast!"
"That was it too simple an attack and you were hoping I wouldn't parry it?" Zero said dryly. "I told you to entertain me, not to bore me!" With the same speed as before, Zero pushed Irina away a few meters away from him while, behind him, Xenovia was ready to hit him on the back.
" You are full of openings!" Xenovia yelled as she prepared to hit Zero with Excalibur Destruction. Lowering the blade with all the strength she had, Xenovia was sure that the blow will connect to Zero's body, destroying an infidel enemy of the Church ... unfortunately she was wrong. Turning slightly, Zero raised his left hand, which palm was dressing in Reiatsu, and then gripped the sacred and destructive blade of Excalibur Destruction as if it were rubber.
"WHAT?!" Shouted Xenovia and Irina in shock at the sight of Zero holding the destructive blade without problems until, with a flick of the wrist, she pushed the sword and Xenovia away, with the latter backing away in shock. "H-How ... How can you touch the blade without being destroyed?!"
Continuing to keep his left hand raised, Zero began to charge a Cero while he remained silent and then shot it at Xenovia, with the latter putting Excalibur Destruction in front of herself as quickly as possible using it as a shield thanks to the width of the blade. Concluding the action, Xenovia tried to stay firm on the ground when the red energy beam collided with the blade. "Ghh!" Xenovia gritted her teeth as she resisted the Cero as much as possible, succeeding in her intent.
"Xenovia!" Irina sprinted towards Zero, starting to attack him with a series of blows while the latter, shifting his attention to the other Excalibur user, parried the barrage of blows and then kicked Irina away, slamming her against a wall in the alley. "Gah!" Irina fell to her knees after the painful impact against the wall.
"Irina!" Xenovia attempted to attack Zero with a powerful blow from Excalibur Destruction. "Get away from her!"
Zero easily dodged the blow which failed as he shook his head. "I thought you exorcists were much stronger. I knew it was better to steal all the Excalibur from you right away instead of setting up this staging"
Xenovia's eyes widened as Zero's words made her understand everything. "Why did you ally with Kokabiel?! What was the use of stealing the Excaliburs?!"
"Because with Kokabiel I will be able to make Kurosaki Ichigo fall into despair, it's simple!" Zero laughed slightly as Irina stood up.
"What do you mean?" She asked faintly. The impact with the wall had hurt her.
"I can't tell you anything else, the most important actors of this story are still missing-" said Zero until he suddenly turned to the right, parrying with the katana the strikes of a very familiar blond swordsman and of a brown with a red gauntlet. "-And it's not you!" With a decisive movement, Zero pushed the two teenagers away with a sword stroke.
"Damn!" Issei cursed as he was pushed back along with Yuuto by Zero's movement. "Yuuto, you're okay?"
"Yes, I'm fine" Yuuto, brandishing a devil sword, nodded to Issei.
"You two! I told you to go away!" Xenovia yelled at the two Devils. "You are not ready to fight him!"
"Not even you two are ready" Zero broke off the possible discussion that was about to arise as he saw Xenovia and Irina give him angry looks. "Mh ... no, your eyes look too little desperate" Zero put his left hand under the chin of the mask, as if he was thinking, until he began to giggle. "Let's see, the two Devils are back because surely that red-headed bitch, Rias Gremory is coming"
"You bastard, don't you dare call Buchou that!" Issei clenched his left fist, completely angry, but what Zero said soon after kept him from moving.
"Wait…oh yes…yes, I'll tell you a secret. The biggest secret that the Church has been hiding for thousands of years" Slowly, a dazzling smile could be perceived under the mask of Zero. The latter, looking at the four boys in front of him, giggled before dropping the emotional bomb. "God is dead"

...
Silence...
...
A second ... then two ... three ... four and so on until it became a minute of pure silence as their minds tried to understand what Zero had just said. "No ... it's impossible ..." The four youngs muttered as they saw Zero laugh.
"How...How is it possible?!" Irina cried out as her eyes filled with tears ... her whole life ... was it based on a lie? She could not accept it ... clutching Excalibur Mimic with all the strength she had, Irina ran towards Zero and tried to attack him while the latter leapt so high that he reached the roof. "Don't run away, coward! Tell me the truth!" Irina, now in the grip of denial and total anger, jumped on the walls of the alley (Ratchet and Clank style to be clear) reaching Zero in mid-air.
"Irina, no! Don't chase him, stop! " Xenovia shouted trying to stop her friend, but unfortunately, Irina didn't listen to her anymore. Raising the sword, Irina lowered it towards Zero while the latter brought her left hand to her katana, and then cut her palm.
"Poor little Irina ... she donated the best years of her childhood to the Church, only to discover that everything was a lie." Zero turned his bloody left hand towards Irina as a blue Reiatsu formed in the palm, allowing a shocked Irina to see defeat. "Yes, I like your eyes now: desperate ... It's time to finish this fight: Gran Rey Cero!"
(End "Bleach OST - Never Meant To Belong" and play "Bleach OST - Invasion")
Irina's blood froze while the latter, in the air, could not help but see the Gran Rey Cero heading towards her ... and hit her.
BOOM!
A huge ball of smoke formed after hitting Irina. "IRINAAA!" Issei and Xenovia shouted as they saw that a wounded and bleeding Irina fell from the smoke. Leaving Excalibur Destruction to the ground, Xenovia ran to Irina, who had meanwhile passed out, and caught her in time, noting the huge wounds and burns all over her body caused by the attack. "Irina, Irina!" Xenovia tried to wake Irina by shaking her slightly.
"Irina ... DAMN YOU, ZERO!" Issei shouted ready to fight him but, when he no longer saw him on the roof, he closed and opened his eyes ... time to do so, and Issei reluctantly discovered that Zero had used the Sonido to reach him and Yuuto. In a circular motion, Zero attacked Yuuto and Issei, who were pushed away, backing away quite a bit.
"Tch, Isse-" Yuuto was about to ask Issei to use the Gift Transfer again but, when he saw Zero ... everything froze ... and it seemed that Issei and Xenovia saw it too ... what Zero was holding in his hands ... Excalibur Destruction and Excalibur Mimic ...
"Impossible ..." Xenovia muttered with wide eyes as she saw Zero raise the Excalibur Destruction and whirl around, reflecting upward a sphere of concentrated destructive energy.
"Rias Gremory" Zero said slightly excitedly as Rias, Akeno and Asia arrived in the alley. "You have finally arrived"
"Buchou!" Issei couldn't suppress the smile on her lips. With her and Akeno, they could win!
"You are in Clan Gremory territory. With the power bestowed on me, I will eliminate you" Rias coldly raised her hand as the aura of destruction coated her palm.
"Are you sure, Gremory?" Zero pointed Excalibur Mimic at her, making her eyes widen when she saw the weapons. "Unfortunately for you, you run out of time-"
(End "Bleach OST - Invasion" and play "Bleach OST - Precipice of Defeat")
"Zero!" A male voice coming upwards interrupted the masked man while he and all the others present looked up. The Devils and Xenovia were shocked when they saw Kokabiel floating in the sky. "I see you got the Excaliburs"
"Fallen Angel Kokabiel!" Xenovia shouted when she saw him.
"Kokabiel-sama" Zero bowed his head slightly. "It was too easy, it was enough for me to reveal that and they made my job easier"
"Kuhuhuh, great news" Kokabiel chuckled slightly. "Then we can start, we also got the Shinenju"
While the Devils and Xenovia couldn't understand what is the "Shinenju", Zero started laughing like a madman. "GYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! I can finally do it!" His tone wasn't sadistic or anything, it was a genuine laugh of pure joy. "We're gonna to fight again…Kurosaki Ichigo!" Using the Sonido, Zero disappeared from the alley.
"Wait Zero!" Rias shouted but did not have time as spears of light stuck beside everyone's feet. "Tch ..." Rias looked up as she saw Kokabiel smile arrogantly. "Fallen Angel Kokabiel, why are you doing all this? What are you aiming for? "
"Your headquarters are in the heart of Kuoh Academy, am I right?" Kokabiel replied as he began explaining his plan. "If I do something to you and your headquarters, won't Sirzechs be forced to intervene?"
"W-What ?!" Issei could not understand why he had to do such an action, yet Rias seemed to understand it.
"If you do that, won't the war between the Fallen Angels, Angels and the Devils break out in full force again ?!" Rias was shocked ... did Kokabiel really want to spark a new war between the supernatural races?
"Yes! But that was my plan until I met Zero and he told me his plan-" Kokabiel smiled as he raised his hands slightly. "-Using the Excaliburs to open the doors to a whole new world!"
"What?!" Almost all of them shouted in unison as they heard Kokabiel speak.
"Do you think the Hollows suddenly appeared while the Stray Devils disappeared instead? And mysteriously only Kurosaki Ichigo and Senna Amagi can eliminate the Hollows? Kurosaki Ichigo, Senna Amagi, Zero and the Hollows are beings who do not come from this world, but from another! Imagine the Fallen Angels taking over every world, not even Sirzechs and Michael could stop me! Ahahahah! " Kokabiel laughed as he closed his hands into fists.
"Ichigo, Senna and the Hollows ... are they from another world?" Almost everyone murmured except Issei, since the latter had known about it for some time thanks to Ichigo.
"And now, thanks to the Excaliburs, to the Shinenju and above all to your energy now absorbed by the Kuoh Academy, I will break the boundaries of the worlds! I couldn't ask for a better battlefield! " Kokabiel pointed to Rias Gremory. "It's time for war, Sirzechs Lucifer's little sister, Rias Gremory!" And having said that, Kokabiel flew away.
A silence pervaded the area as everyone continued to process all the information received. "And now, Buchou?" Issei asked watching Rias, with the latter clenching her fists.
"Kokabiel wants to destroy other worlds, we can't afford to do that!" Approaching Xenovia who left Irina in Asia's care, Rias offered her a hand. "But we need your help, Xenovia"
Back to Kaito and Ichigo ...
"We must hurry! You can still feel Senna, right?" Kaito asked as he ran with Ichigo, heading towards Senna's current location.
"Yup!" The Shinigami-Daigo replied, still feeling Senna's Reiatsu. "Her Rei-I mean, the…" feeling" is slightly faint, but I can still feel it. They are at the Kuoh Academy!"
"Kuoh Academy? Shit, what the hell do they get from attacking ours headquarters?! Anyway, what the heck happened to get us into this situation?! " Panting slightly, Kaito still continued to run following Ichigo while the latter began to tell.
"Well…"
Shortly before, with Ichigo and Senna ...
"Can you explain to me why you suddenly dragged me with you?" Ichigo asked as he followed Senna down the corridor, watching her try in vain to open some doors in the corridor.
"A girl can't be alone in a creepy place like this" She replied as she sighed for yet another closed door.
Ichigo rolled his eyes as he had a slight smile on his face. "Other closed doors?"
"Sigh, yes ..." Senna sighed slightly as she moved away from yet another closed door. "We took the wrong corridor maybe ..."
Ichigo, trying to see if Senna was right, walked over to a nearby door and turned the handle, opening it. "Nah," he said simply as he saw Senna dash into the room with the Shunpo. Smiling slightly, Ichigo entered the room.
The room was very large, full of tables, notes, materials and tools, giving the impression that this room was a kind of laboratory.
"A laboratory ...?" Ichigo looked around as he casually walked around the room, trying to read the notes all written in Latin unfortunately. "What have they studied here?"
"I don't know buuut-" Senna walked over to Ichigo while holding something in her hand. "-I found this!" She said as she handed the object to Ichigo who, when she saw it, her eyes widened. "Ichigo ...?" Senna, confused, observed the object: a small, bluish-purple orb enclosed inside in a transparent sphere.
"No ... it's impossible ... it can't exist! There cannot be a Hogyoku here! " Ichigo shook his head several times, refusing the existence of what Senna held in her hands. It must have been destroyed or sealed by Urahara Kisuke after the Aizen rebellion.
"Hogyoku ...?" Senna tilted her head slightly to the side, confused. Looking at the object in her hands, it seemed to her like a simple orb, she didn't even feel anything coming from the Orb. "No Reiatsu ... this sphere has no Reiatsu"
"Huh?" Ichigo calmed down and, trying to feel the Reiatsu, was surprised. "You're right, he doesn't own Reiatsu. Then it means- "
"-It's a fake" A male voice answered them at the entrance to the laboratory.
"?!" The two Shinigami turned towards the entrance and, before they could unleash their Zanpakutos, spears of light were summoned ...
End flashback ...
"And so they then kidnapped Senna" Kaito murmured as Ichigo finished the story.
"Yeah ..." Ichigo clenched a fist as he continued running with Kaito until the two reached the already wide open gates of Kuoh Academy, allowing them to see Kokabiel sitting on a throne placed on a magic circle in the air, Vampa in the center of the courtyard, with a golden magic circle under his feet and finally Senna, unconscious, stuck on a kind of golden cross while the Excalibur Rapidity, Nightmare, Destruction and Transparency revolved around her, glowing every two seconds.
"Senna!" Kaito and Ichigo shouted while the latter, taking advantage of the Shunpo, tried to go straight towards her. Unfortunately, however, when a katana was about to hit him, Ichigo drew Zangetsu and parried the blow, even if this made him back off. "Y-You!"
In front of Ichigo was Zero, who wielded the Excalibur Mimic in his right hand. "How long, Ichigo! We can finally kill each other! Gyahahahah!"
"Zero!" Ichigo shouted the name of his opponent, now a rival / nemesis at this point. "What the hell are you going to do with Senna?!"
"Isn't it obvious, Ichigo?!" Zero raised his left hand melodramatically. "Senna Amagi is the Shinenju and I will use it to open the door!"
"Wait, you mean-" Ichigo's eyes widened when he understood Zero's plan. "-No, Zero! Do not do it!" While the two were talking, the rest of the ORC, without Asia for now, arrived at the gates of the Kuoh Academy along with Xenovia, just in time to hear Zero speak ...
"Now come, Shinenju! Unlock the door for the Soul Society!"

As he watches the sky, Ichigo is turns and notices that he is being joined by Senna and the ORC members. Ichigo smiles and then joins them as petals fell to the ground, forming the symbol on the Shinigami-Daigo Badge ...)
