Hey guys, Flipkicks here and today I bring to you a new chapter for The Reaper of Beacon and thank you for checking out the story.
Time to pick up where we last left Ichigo.
I do not own neither series.
Ichigo Kurosaki
The Assassin
Beacon Academy; Med bay. 3 days later
It has been 3 days since teams RWBY and JPNR fought the 'possessed' Ichigo Kurosaki, the now known godson of Glynda Goodwitch and 'ace student' of Signal Academy many years ago. Both teams got to know of Ichigo's profile from Ozpin as they were the first to meet him. They all begin to wonder as to why Ichigo attacked them, but in time perhaps Ichigo can explain his actions but they left him in the med bay due to being unconscious. Also both teams got to know who were his teammates during his rest.
Each of his teammates are currently scattered throughout the world and they're still trying to find out where he is or what happen to him (even though he is now at Beacon Academy). Glynda has put a word out to each of his former teammates that they found him and is now here at Beacon as a new student of Beacon. None of them have currently responded to her email yet.
Right now, Glynda is overlooking at her unconscious godson in his bed, worrying that he might not wake up. On the wall behind her was a new sword and some new clothes for Ichigo to wear once he awakens from his 'sleep'. From tip to handle, it is approximately five to six feet long, with a single-edged large blade approximately one foot blade is a lighter color on the bladed edge, while the rest of the blade is dark gray, and the handguard appears to be bolted or riveted into place. There are two holes near the handguard, handguard is colored gold and has swirl designs, the part of the blade bearing the two holes is raised slightly and sectioned off from the rest of the blade, and there are etchings engraved on the blade near the hand guard.
'Have to make sure that his heritage is kept a secret. Hopefully my students didn't see his powers...' She thought to herself worrying if her students know the 'legends' of his heritage since she was sworn to secrecy of her godson's heritage by an unknown organization.
"Mhmm..." She turns her attention to her sleeping godson, groaning. He slowly begins to open his eyes and blinks a few times. He slowly rises up from his bed to see his godmother in front of his bed, "Mom?" He questions himself was he thinks he's dreaming, "MOM!" Once he stop dreaming, he shouted loudly to know that he wasn't dreaming. He couldn't believe that he is seeing his mother for the first time in years.
Glynda couldn't even help it but smile and begin to shed a tear to know that her godson finally remembers and is his former self. She rushes at him, hugging her godson tightly around his neck. While Ichigo did expect that she was going to hug him, he didn't expect for her to hug him that tightly. He can hear her whimpering, knowing that he was her world growing up.
"Sorry...for everything, mom." He sadly said to his godmother as he wraps his arms around her waist, embracing the hug. "I'm sorry for doing that disappearing act for the past 5 years." He had to apologize to someone that basically raised him. While they haven't seen each other in 5 years, the two had a inseparable bond as mother and son. Whenever Glynda wasn't doing her duties as a Huntress/Teacher of Beacon, she would spend her free time with Ichigo from his school work, shopping for food or clothes, or enjoying his company after being away from him.
"Just...don't say a word." is all she said to her son as they stayed like that for the past 30 minutes, just soaking in that they're finally reunited after Ichigo's disappearance. They begin to remember all of the good times they had.
30 minutes of absolute silence, the two would finally let go as Ichigo can see some tears still on her face.
"Its good to have you back." She said with a smile on her face with the tear stains still on her cheeks.
"Its good to be back, mom." He replies back to his mom as he tries to get out of the bed but stopped due to a sharp pain in his back. "What happen?" He rubs his back and asks his mother, to which she would go on to explaining what happen yesterday with his fight against teams RWBY and JPNR and how he was 'possessed' and went on a berserker rage against her students but luckily that no one was harm from the fight with only damages to one of the rooftops. "Damn...didn't think I can cause that much damage."
Truth be told, Ichigo knows that whenever he was 'possessed' in what his mother just said to him, it was actually the merge of 2 different personalities within his being (himself) and his inner self (Shiro). He knows that it happens at an unknown time and would not regain those memories but he would write each of the merged personalities and it spoke the truth of his life during those 5 years.
"Were you expecting to cause this much damage Ichigo?" He would of course sweat drop from his mothers threatening eyes and he felt the 'killing instincts' of his mom.
"Uh...no I wasn't mom." He shrunk in fear of his mother. He tries to figure out what to say next and sees a large sword on the wall, "Whats with the sword?" He decided to change the subject for his own safety.
"Under some certain laws from an unknown party, you are not to show any of your heritage to anybody." That's what he's been told 5 years ago and he still wonders as to why he must hide his heritage (even though he showed his heritage to both teams). "So there was some old weapons from your days at Signal Academy and thought it would be best to have this as your main weapon of choice." She explain to her godson, who bought in on the idea.
"I see. So now the main question is, where am I going to stay?" He questions his mother with a curious tone.
"You'll be staying at your own room near the students quarters." She stated to him.
"And I presume that I'm going to be on a team?" She nods her head to his question, "Listen mom, I know that I'm going to be in team as its mandatory but I think it would be best if I remain being Solo. I don't want to be responsible if I go berserk." He hated to his godmother and she couldn't help but agree with him.
"If that is what you wish, then I may have to speak with Ozpin about this. And with the surveillance cameras in place, I believe that you'll be mostly on Solo missions for Beacon." She replies back calmly. The reason why she brought up the surveillance cameras is because they want to make sure that there was a reason for each of the students to be in teams and with his destructive power is uncontrollable, even for him with his unknown power.
"Alright." He would then stretch his arms in the air and he fought about a important question, "Wait! Mom, any leads to my old teammates from Signal?! I've been searching for them for years after I went M.I.A!"
She tries her best to calm down her son but it was no use to him being so railed up. She knows from the files that he was relatively close with his former teammates, Kitana, Chun-Li and Kayle (but he didn't know is that 2 of them had a huge crush on him).
"Ichigo, calm down." She hits him in the head with her wand very hard, causing a huge bump on his head to grow, "I'm doing the best that I can to search for them. In the meantime, its time I showed you to your room." Feeling the guilt of his disappearance that caused his team to dissolve, he nods his head and slowly gets up from his bed, cracking some of his bones in his back and legs.
"Okay that felt good." He said in relief minus to Miss Goodwitch's comfort, the two would leave the med bay with his new clothes and weapon and they head onto Ichigo's new room.
As the two were walking down the hallway of Beacon, teams RWBY and JNPR see the duo walking together.
"Hey look, its the new guy and Miss Goodwitch!" Ruby said a bit eagerly as she was about to follow the duo, but her older sister Yang grabs her collar, causing her to fall on her back.
"Wow there Ruby. You can't just yet. We don't even know if he's even the same as before or something else." Yang stated to her kid sister, "There are things we still need to think about of this new student."
"Aww..." Ruby pouted since she wanted to find out what was the 'mystery' as she puts it on Ichigo Kurosaki.
"There are things dark in him but I do sense light in him. Something is trying to take control of his mind." Pyrrha said to her fellow peers, "Have you guys wonder about his bizarre strange power he displayed against us?" That is the million dollar question to both teams. The first attack was a 'beam-attack' that destroyed parts of the roof.
"I'm still wondering if that's his Semblance." Jaune cups his chin and wonders about Ichigo's attack.
"Well have to figure out as time passes on I'm afraid." Blake stated to everyone, "There are things we don't even know about like the Grimm and with Ichigo's presence here, things are going to be more complicated the way things are right now."
"She right," Ren joins in on the conversation, "Ichigo Kurosaki hasn't been on any updates on the database for the past 5 years and most of the current updates were during his time at Signal Academy."
During Ichigo's 3 day rest, both teams decided to check any available data of Ichigo Kurosaki. To which there was only a few available info regarding his status and background (to which is a lie) of the 'legendary' student. There wasn't any updated info besides one report saying that there was no body on the scene besides some blood on the floor but it wasn't his and for that, he was listed as Missing in Action.
"We'll just have to dig whatever data we can find." Weiss decided that they might as well end the conversation and with that, both teams went their separate ways as they went on to find any data of Ichigo Kurosaki.
Ichigo's new room
After exploring the entire school, Glynda decided to show Ichigo his new room. A master bed room with a queen size bed with 2 nightstands on each side with a lamp on the right one, a plasma screen tv on the left side of the wall, his desk with books from different cultures and a massive chest in front of his bed.
"Wow...didn't think I was getting a sweet room mom. What's the occasion or deal?" He questions her since he felt there as something he needs to do.
"Actually, theres no deal Ichigo. Since you are going to be on Solo missions as you put it, the board felt it was the right decision to give you your own room due to a certain incident." Glynda would go onto explaining what his Solo missions are going to be from gathering intel, monster hunting etc.
"Well gee mom, I didn't think I was going to have this as my training regime." He chuckled a bit, "Should be a piece of cake in my book." She looks at her godson confusingly, "Well during my disappearance, I did those exact things when I was traveling around the world." She only smirked from his statement. When Ichigo was a pre-teen, she would let him accompany her on simple missions and her associates would go on to explaining what his missions would be as he would grow older.
"Well I should hope so Ichigo but don't forget that there are going to be some missions where you'll be teaming with some of the Teams here at Beacon. I sure hope that you know work with them." She said to which made Ichigo only groan.
"Rather work by myself mom. Not much of a team player like before." He turns his attention to his chest, "Does this chest still have my own signature mom?" She nods her head as he would go on to unlock the chest.
"If you need any questions Ichigo, please let me know. Alright?" She hears him sigh but he knows she was doing her job as his mom.
"Alright mom. I'll ask any questions to you if I have any." She grew a rare smile on her face as the two would embrace once more in a hug. "Miss you mom."
"I miss you too Ichigo." And with that said, the 2 let go and she would leave the room with Ichigo turning his back to his chest.
(Assassin's Creed Syndicate: Family OST)
He puts his left handprint on the main lock and he hears the main mechanism unlock. He flips the lid and sees some family equipment, A couple of swords, some guns and a uniform. Luckily there was a black sleeve/glove for him on his bed and he puts that on, so that he can hide his 'demonic' right arm.
He looks at the uniform in the chest and picks it up, 'Didn't think I would see this again.' He sees a long, layered lower section, although they maintained the open collared torso similar to someone robes from one of his books, and included a closed collar beneath. The hood shape from the previous robes had been kept as well, along with the wide, red sash displaying a skull with flames insignia and the function of carrying Ichigo's throwing knives. The robes also continued to feature the cape over Ichigo's left arm and shoulder with a leather spader.
'What's that?' He hears Summer Rose appear right next to him, looking over his shoulder of his outfit.
'This was a handmade robe I made years ago with my mom before I went M.I.A.. I was into into different cultures of pass civilizations and one peculiar culture was a different group of hunters and saw what they were fighting for and that is why am going against the secret organization that is controlling the world's government. My first target is him.' He shows her a picture on his cell phone of man with black, with some areas being silver or gray in coloration, while his eyebrows are a single, black color. He has what appears to be a strip of silver metal above his right eyebrow. 'James Ironwood, this sunva bitch is the head of the organizations main military and Atlas's army. Get rid of him and there goes their commander.' He puts cell phone away as he can hear Summer displeased.
'Why are you going to go to war against the men that are trying to protect us Ichigo?'
'Because I know they are manipulating everyone here that the Grimm are killable when there is no way to kill them yet! They're going to have all of us go to war against something that can't be killed. I'm doing this to save your daughters Summer, my old friends and everyone from their control. I'm the only one that can stop them.' He response a bit harshly to Summer, 'I'm going to put my life on the line for this and I'm going to make sure that I'll bring this government down before I die.' He's determine to end the horrors that he once saw during his years traveling the world and for some reason, he begins to cough multiple times until he coughs up his own blood.
'Ichigo!' She yells in a worrying tone.
'I'm fine Miss Rose. Damnit...didn't think it ws going to spread this fast is all.' He whips the blood coming out of his lips.
What he didn't tell Summer was that he is still suffering from Dust poisoning. It was a year after the incident that he started to cough up blood and the only way to stop the coughing was making his own cure.
'Luckily they didn't check my boot.' He slips off his right boot and takes off the heel, revealing a small bottle with a purplish color medicine. He takes off the cap and takes a small dose of his medicine, much to his relief. 'If you look through my memories of the 'incident' Summer, you figure out why I coughed up my own blood.' He puts back his medicine in his boot and begins to breath normally. 'Well...Time to get to work.' He closes his chest and begins to sort of his targets, starting with James Ironwood.
'I hope you know what you are doing Ichigo.'
'So do I Miss Rose. So do I.' He then disconnects with Summer and takes a seat by his desk, scratching his head with both of his hands,'I know that I don't have enough time to do everything...now I worry that I don't have enough time to do anything...' He places his right hand on his heart, worrying if he'll still have enough time to do this and end what he started 5 years ago after his disappearance.
And that ends the chapter guys. I wanted to have this chapter to show his relationship with Glynda as his 'mother' and I think I did a good job showing that (and if that, let me know what I can add more) and show what his motives are against the corruption but there is one thing I wanted to do and that is a character death. You guys think Ichigo will die at the end or will he survive? (not going to spoil on how on both)
The next chapter will start Ichigo's new life as a student of Beacon and the start of his bonds with both teams. Also I wanted to know if I should include some of the girls in his old team and the new ones and no I am not going to reveal the other groups just yet.
I also want to ask if any of you guys can help me out on writing some chapters for The Reaper of DXD, and Persona: The Fool of DXD/Fairy Tail. I'm having a bit of trouble on writing chapters for all 3 and thought if you guys can help me out, I would gladly appreciate the help.
I added a poll to know if Ichigo will die or not in this story and its listed on my profile.
I hope you guys like the chapter and as always, I'll talk to you all later.
