NarutoBleachMon 7
Ash, Hinata, Kon and the little girl were cornered. A being of villainous energy had emerged in front of them. What was this haunting figure that was coated in blue? "So, what did Grand Fisher wrangle here?" he sneered in a haunting tone. Whatever it was, the girl was easily crept out. "Hm. Three kids, but one without a core body. Fascinating." The aura covering the enemy made it impossible to determine who or what it was. Ash had to relax his aura. The blue began to fade and out showed a mole/baboon hybrid with a skull mask. There was something hanging on a string like a lure. That made Ash think he should have kept the aura up to prevent seeing that.
"What in the world are you?" he wondered in fear.
"You mean to say that you can see me? You must have pretty high spirit energies if you can see a Hollow, especially me, Grand Fisher." This guy was full of himself. "But enough about me. I see the spirit of a little girl. Anything to whet my appetite." This Hollow...he sounded so creepy. Hinata had no clue on what to do. Grand Fisher viewed her, not picking anything that stoked an interest. Not even the chakra in her system. "You're a disappointment. All you are is a hamburger without the meat or the condiments." That didn't necessarily mean Hinata was Scot-free. He gazed at Ash, seeing a power that he wouldn't have noticed right away. "Well, well, well. It seems that I have a two-for-one deal in front of me. I doubt the energy flowing in you is spirit energy. Yet, it's so tempting to obtain." He became intriguingly interested with Ash's aura. Ash went into defensive position.
"You think my aura will fill your desires?" Grand Fisher became enlightened...and more intrigued.
"Aura? Aura sure you want to use it on me? I bet it won't do anything on me." Was the joke really necessary? Ash gritted, seething the mockery.
"Ash, there's no way we can fight that Hollow," Hinata advised. News he could've been without. Hinata was still without her ninja gear. Ash had Pikachu but he was back at the clinic ready to eat dinner. Suddenly...
"Alright, who let you out of your cage, Fisher?" groaned an older man. The group turned to a tall spiky sky blue-haired man in white. He had a piece of the same mask that Fisher wore, a piece of the teeth. Fisher was stunned to know who emerged. It wasn't a Soul Reaper.
"G-G-Grimmjow!" he stuttered. "What are you doing in the human world?"
"I do as I please. You don't need to argue about it." You could bet that under that mask, Fisher was snarling down Grimmjow in anger.
"I would apply the same thing. Are you holding me back from my latest cravings?" Grimmjow had his chance to see Ash, Hinata and Kon.
"These kids? Fisher, they don't look like the appetizers I would dine on." Harsh. Something seemed rather off. Who...or what was Grimmjow? He looked human but that piece of his mask...
"Grimmjow is like Fisher, only stronger," Kon warned. Grimmjow was a Hollow, too? Dead meat. Ash and Hinata, as well as the spirit, were in the presence of two Hollows. There was hardly anything going in their favor. Ash had a plan. A bleak chance of it working.
"That pill," he suggested. He turned to Kon. Oh, boy. The trainer snagged and paddled Kon in the tail like he was a misbehaving child, much to Kon's chagrin...and pain.
"OW! Stop it! That hurts!" One good slap to the backside made Kon cough out the pill. It bounced off Ash's leg where he tossed the doll aside to snag the green sphere. Kon was lifeless. Hinata realized that Ash was willing to use the pill to battle the Hollows. Hinata thought it was a bad call.
"Ash, you can't!" she pleaded. "You don't know if it'll work for you!" Ash weighed on Hinata's prediction. He could or he couldn't.
"If anything, it should clear you and her out of the way," he hypothesized before he plopped the pill in. This should be good. Suddenly, Ash felt a quick ripping of his body. His body split into two bodies. One was the body that we're use to seeing. That body opened his eyes. He looked at his hands.
"Well, this body could be one I might have trouble with," peered...Kon? Was Kon that pill Ash swallowed? Well, the newly possessed body turned to Hinata who was mesmerized. They turned to the other half of the split. There was Ash...in an all new look. He was taller, muscular and in plenty of black and blue. Clothes being black and blue, he wasn't bruised up...yet. Yet, he still had the same face under a blue fedora with the front looking like a spearhead. Grimmjow and Fisher were fascinated with the new looking Ash.
"Well, looks like someone was hiding a rather intriguing secret," Grimmjow awed. "This might actually be worthwhile." Fisher did not disagree.
"You want me to respond or keep my teeth shut?" he dumbly asked. Not wanting to know anymore dark secrets, Grimmjow unsheathed his sword. Ash held a ball of light in his hand which began to stretch and form. Out of the glow was a scepter. The scepter had a sapphire gem on the top of the black shaft.
"Hinata, Kon," he called upon the two. "Take the girl and get going." Evacuation orders. Hinata and Kon wanted to trust the new Ash. Before that was established.
"What in the world are you doing to Hinata?" bellowed Naruto. The Hollows looked up to Naruto's voice and...the score had arrived. Shadow Clone Jutsu was in full effect. Ash peered up, his aura guiding him. That's when something weird occurred. Ash saw only one Naruto while the rest viewed at least 100 scattered. The one Ash found was on the bottom of a slide. There's a chance that's the original and the rest were clones. The clones gazed down at the two Hollows...who seemed perplexed at the amount of clones.
"What the hell..." Fisher wondered. He may have seen one but Ash knew that Naruto was up to his ordinary tricks. Naruto got a glimpse of Ash in the new outfit.
"Whoa, did Hinata get that for you?" No but in Naruto's opinion, he looked stylish.
"I think I woke my Aura Guardian essence," Ash seemingly admitted. "We need to get Hinata and that little girl out of here." Kon heard Ash and led Hinata and the girl from the site. Fisher saw the move and made pursuit of the girls.
"Wrong move, pal!" Kon taunted and spun with a fist in hand. The punch got Fisher in the teeth with a wicked left hook. Fisher was sent flying...right back at Grimmjow. Not knowing about Fisher's flight, Grimmjow pressed forward where Ash held his staff in defense. Grimmjow swung. CLANK! Ash fended the strike and sent it to the side. Ash followed it with a left hook of his own, but Grimmjow ducked the shot. This was being heated. As Grimmjow rose back up, he was unaware of Ash planting a foot on his shoulder. The lift propelled Ash up. Knee, meet chin. KA-PLOW! Both Ash and Grimmjow soared for a second before Ash wound up for something. He swung his arms, blades of thin air forming and fast, shooting at Grimmjow. BOOM! Grimmjow was hit hard, falling onto Fisher. Fisher was nailed by the falling human-like Hollow. Back on earth, Ash formed a large blue sphere in his hand. He was ready to finish the two off but Fisher whipped the lure from the top of his head. It hit Ash, dispelling the sphere and sending him to the playground. He smashed into the playground so hard, the playground was reduced to rubble and twisted metal. Ash was slow in returning to his feet. An open strike for Fisher.
"Ha!" he shouted. "If a Soul Reaper can't lay a finger on me, then what good would an Aura Guardian prove? You're a joke! A pretender who wants to wear the big britches so they can feel adequate!" Suddenly, a black arm jumped out of nowhere...and crushed Fisher in the side of the face. Fisher was hurled through the air and crashed into a pile of I-beams. Looking on, Ash, Naruto and his clones watched as Chad revealed himself with a wicked black right arm. It was black with magenta lines which stretched from shoulder to fingers. Ash was stunned.
"Chad?" Naruto hushed. Chad turned to see all those clones, not even phased. It was Ash that he became a little shuttered about.
"Ash?" he muttered in awe. "Is that you?" Ash nodded as he watched Grimmjow stir. He was rather stunned with the way Ash fought him. Shaking off the cobwebs, he saw a growing force of blue that surrounded him.
'What is that force he carries?' he wondered. 'It's not the same kidō that runt Ichigo carries. It's...much more potent. I must evaluate this energy much further.' Did he forget about the clones? Those clones came after Grimmjow with anger for trying to attack Hinata. Quick on the draw, Grimmjow drew his sword...and carved his way through the clones like they were miniature pumpkins on Halloween. All the clones were dispatched in mere seconds. Don't mess with this Hollow. "I don't know what the hell those were but they were worthless compared to your friend." Naruto steamed an angered hiss at the mock.
"I'll show you what I bring!" he scowled loudly. Looked like he was ready to release his demon form again. Grimmjow wasn't about to allow him to activate his power. He swooped in and swung his sword. Ash leaped in front of the swing and used the staff to protect Naruto. It was useless. The slash broke the staff in half. Both Ash and Naruto were flown into the concrete wall head first. Both were out at impact. Rukia and Hinata got to both boys, wondering if they're okay.
"Ash, you good?" Rukia wondered.
"Naruto!" Hinata cried. "Naruto!" No use. Of course, that left Kon to protect the little girl...with Chad on the side. Fisher recovered and raced to Kon and the girl.
"Now you're mine!" he roared. He whipped out his lure, knocking Kon out of the way while intercepting the girl.
"Help~!" the girl screamed before she and Fisher vanished. Grimmjow wasn't paying attention and gazed at the trainer who gave him such a fit.
"I was merely taking it easy," he sneered. "Yet you have a potential for more power. I'll see you again." In a flash, Grimmjow vanished into thin air, a trace nonexistent. Ash was out for the count. He would need time to recover. Unaware to anyone, even Ash, Ash was in dreamland.
(Ash's Dream)
Ash woke up in a room of white. He seemed rather dazed and bewildered into why he found himself here...or how. Aimlessly wandering around, he wondered what occurred prior to his arrival in the land of white...or why he was in a tuxedo. Suddenly... "Ash!" Ash turned to the voice. There was a brunette in a white bride's gown. She held a shell with holes on it, designed like an ocarina. Ash seemed to know her.
"Melody?" he gulped. Before he wondered how this girl got there too...
"Ash!" called another brunette holding a jewel. She also wore the same gown as Melody with a hairstyle that looked like she had wings in her hair.
"Bianca?" He never had time to ponder how these girls were in this place. More and more ladies peeked out, all wearing bridal gowns but holding different items from a ribbon to a living egg with stubby arms and legs and all with different hairstyles and hair colors. All were calling for Ash. "What's going on? And why are all of them geared for a wedding?" That's when had taken stock of his own attire. "Wait a second... They all?" One look at the now charging female wave told Ash...he was in trouble. "Oh boy..." He began to run from the bridal posse but where could he go? There's nowhere for him to run or hide. That's when the good things, if there were any good things, went south. Rukia popped up and she was in her Soul Reaper garb, not bridal. Without warning, she unsheathed her sword and plunged it into Ash's stomach. Ash was stopped. The girls that chased him vanished. Ash, spurting blood from the wound, looked at Rukia who was revealing an evil smile. She ripped the sword from his stomach and did a spin to where the blade was barreling at his throat. Not pretty.
(End)
Ash snapped awake from that weird dream with bullets of sweat dripping down his face. He was back in the Kurosaki clinic...with everybody inside, including Renji. Rukia set herself in front of Ash. She wasn't in the best of moods. "You're not suppose to be up yet," she groaned before blasting a heavy right cross into Ash's cheek. That punch launched Ash into the wall from the couch he stirred from. Seconds after waking up, he was back out.
"You think that was rather overdone?" Ichigo wondered. "I mean, sure he used the Mod Soul to convert into-"
"You know that Mod Soul was meant for you and you alone. Who knows what adverse effects would happen if swallowed by a different party?" It was a risk that Ash took. Ash began to come around from the strike. He was hurt but he ain't taking it lying down. Angie ran over and placed a hand on his shoulder. Ash looked down, feeling as if he disgraced him and his friends. He realized that something was off and he could feel the tension.
"She..." he muttered. "She's in danger..." He knew that it was the girl that had sent them away from the Pokémon World. Angie was blank to what Ash hiccuped.
"She?" she repeated. "Hinata's safe and talking to Naruto with more confidence." That was a nice change of pace. Hinata liked Naruto but couldn't stand being within an arm length without the rush of embarrassment. It looked like Hinata had overcome her fears. However, that wasn't what concerned Ash.
"No, that girl... that girl who brought us here..." It still didn't click for Angie. Orihime began to backtrack to when she and Hinata were heading to a study group and saw what appeared to be a girl.
"Wait a second," she spoke up. "Do you mean a girl with purple hair and wearing a yellow summer dress?" Ash heard what Orihime described. He was shocked that he and Angie weren't the only ones who saw the girl.
"That's her!" Warning flags rose in alert mode. Something about the girl that was captured by Grimmjow and Fisher made Ash and Angie begin to worry. What significance did this girl have that Ash and Angie were about to panic? Was it a link to their world?
