Ichigo Kurosaki wasn't exactly thrilled about being surrounded by curious teenagers and children.
He just wanted to meet Orihime soon, heal his arm, and try to fight the blue-haired girl again, this time without surprises or sneak attacks.
"Sir, are you a god?"
"No."
"Are you my dad? My mom said my dad had orange hair like you."
"Can't gods shape shift? He may even be a woman!"
"Ahn?"
He could actually easily walk away to outside that place, that was called "Camp Half-Blood" by the others, but Dionysus insisted for him to stay for some more time.
Ichigo was there for three days and was growing impatient, but was while he was sitting on a stone watching the children practicing archery that Dionysus appeared with a package n his hands.
"Well, here is your gift. Also, it would be good if you consulted the Oracle. She may react to you, or not"
"What is in this package?" asked Ichigo, shaking it, and hearing the sound of a liquid. "Your urine?"
"Ha, something well more toxic. You know, you mentioned this Tobi individual can turn intangible. I was thinking the best way to kill him would be using something that kills him slowly. Put it on a dart or something, or trick him into drinking".
"Honestly dude, I don't believe in prophecies. I can understand something being hidden from me, but the future is still gonna happen, how can someone see it?"
"Oh, you don't get it. We are puppets foolish boy. Now go to the attic. Let's see if my father sacrificed his life for foolish reasons or not".
Ichigo slowly walked until the attic of the administration building.
Ichigo met Oracle in the attic, as the god of wine had previously told him and, pessimistically, saw himself before a rotting corpse.
"Now that's not a future most people would dream about. So, tell me, something for me?"
For three long minutes, Ichigo waited an answer. He began to turn around when he saw something blue beginning to leak from the corpse. And then he began to hear grunts, grunts that soon turned into a voice, though one hard to understand.
"You...mortal...cursed...Prophecy...BULLSHIT! Gods...MEANINGLESS! Susanoo, Susano...Green venom...The world is ruled b...The d. of. Ze...Vessel...To...God-Slayer...SOOOOOOUL!The tre...RUUUUUUUUUUUUN!"
Ichigo blinked his eyes, and saw himself alone with a normal rotting corpse, as normal this kind of situation could be.
"Ok, this was confusing."
Ichigo came down from the attic and met an anxious Annabeth waiting for him in the kitchen.
"So, what you saw? Something exciting, right?"
"Not very exciting. Just a rotting corpse leaking blue liquid and confusing words. I guess people like you saw something different, I suppose".
"Weird, the Oracle is associated with the color green. What exactly did he say?"
"Called me a cursed mortal, said some swear words, called the gods meaningless, mentioned a japanese god, something about green venom, and 'vessel of the Godslayer'. Finally, told me to run."
"Hum, I expected rhymes. Also, it is very weird for it to call the gods meaningless. Its power comes from the god Apollo, you know."
"Maybe the gods will become meaningless. Or I will make them that way".
"The gods are eternal Mister Kurosaki. They also sustain the univer..."
Ichigo smiled as Annabeth realized her universe was no longer only connected to the gods, but to other universes as well.
Then Annabeth looked to the ground.
"Things may have changed. I hope..."
"Hmm? What you mean?" asked Ichigo.
"The world we live, it's kind of cruel. There are monster popping everywhere, the archetypes, searching to kill people like me soon as they detect us. That's why Camp Half-Blood exists, to protect us and train us to protect others."
Ichigo thought about hollows, specially the feral ones, and how they were attracted in special for the taste of people with more spiritual power.
"Well, there's always some dangerous animals..."
"Yeah, but what kind of animal is born of people's feelings? That's what these monsters are, born of human barbarism. I feel that if only we could destroy the feelings, everything would be more easier, and we could live more normal lives".
"You want to control people's emotions? Are you sure of that? Peace through order?"
"You don't like it?"
"This kind of peace always lead to oppression and censorship. To dictatorship. I thought greeks valued democracy".
"I'm not greek. Gods don't belong to a country, so don't even try to argue I'm half".
"Well, I'm japanese and I value it" said Ichigo, turning his face away from Annabeth.
She laughed.
"Well, what you're gonna do now, shinigami-san?"
"Heal my arm and kick Azrael's ass, probably".
"Without a plan?"
"You think I need one?"
"Ask your arm."
"I think I'm not gonna stay for lunch" said Ichigo, beginning to walk away from her.
"Don't let that arrogance hit you in the door".
As soon Ichigo was outside, he began to hear screams, coming from a point at the top of a hill.
He wondered if a fight between the kids have started, that he thought to be very probable. He walked slowly through the camp, until a running kid screaming "RUUUUUUN!" ran through his left, and Ichigo realized this could be important if the prophecy was correct.
Transforming in his Getsuga form, Ichigo jumped through the camp and towards the top of the cliff, where he was welcomed by a sword popping out of a portal in the air. Ichigo dodged the sword, and saw himself before a white-haired girl with an incredible resemblance to Noel Vermillion, wearing a blue jumpsuit and armor.
"Noel? What the hell?"
"Loading, loading, loading...Threat detected. Class: Shinigami. Type:Hybrid. Probabilities of victory: 0%. Retreat: Recommended. Retreat...Accepted? No. Failure probability? 36%."
Ichigo looked behind her and saw what seemed to be a giant floating puppet cutting a tree with her hands, that seemed to be actually made of bladed weapons.
"Ok. I don't get this. I don't get this at all".
"Target confused. Target what part of bo...Hide information of the target".
"Well, whatever you are, you're smart to not spill out your plans. I'm gonna knock you out anyway".
Ichigo grabbed his zanpaktou with his remaining arm but soon saw himself being hit by several swords. He could easily defend himself from the ones coming from the right but the ones from the left cut him despite him trying to dodge and block them. He simply wasn't prepared to fight in an one-armed way.
Then, to his surprise and shock, several blades impaled him from his left side.
Ichigo was almost certain he was dead as he lost consciousness.
When he woke up again, he saw a smiling face of man with green hair looking to him. Behind a transparent giant wall of glass.
"Tell me, did you thought the 0% were for her, you faggot retard?"
Ichigo looked around, and realized he was floating in liquid. Whatever it was, still allowed him to breathe. He also seemed to be inside some metal structure. In fact, he could swore he was inside some kind of space ship.
"Hello and goodbye, I'm Hazama. Don't think we're allies. I actually poisoning you. This liquid is only half-toxic, you know. In fact, you're only awake because I put a little stimulant on your blood. I think you need to see a last thing before you die. Honey, come here! Your ex-husband need to see something".
To Ichigo's shock, Kurumu appeared before them, coming from a corridor to that room. She was wearing a form-fitting latex suit, with a huge cleavage with a zipper on the end, presumably used to close the outfit, but not used for some reason.
Hazama didn't said any more words. The smiling succubus just grabbed his face and began to kiss him.
Ichigo had no idea what exactly was happening, but was almost sure she was being controlled. He tried to move his muscles and break the glass, but his hits were ineffective and only a sharp pain coming from the points where Nu had impaled him was what he managed to cause.
Hazama put his right hand on his pocket while still distracted by Kurumu's passion, and Ichigo saw the liquid turn red, and his flesh begin to melt and burn.
Finally, he screamed in agony as the pain consumed him and foam covered his vision.
