I was being dragged along the road toward a small abandoned warehouse. "What are we doing here?" I asked. "This is where you'll be trained." "What, here?" "Yeah." He let go of me and we walked inside. "Hey, Shinji!" "Make this quick, I'm tryin' to sleep." Replied an unfamiliar voice. "We have a new recruit." "What? Who is he?" "Orochi Givens." I said. "A man with medium length blonde hair came out from the shadows. "What the hells so special about him?" "His spiritual pressure was enough to knock me unconscious, and he hollowfies faster than I can shunpo." "We'll have to test him." Shinji said. "Another person came out, she looked like she was about my age, but she seemed very irritable. She started to talk. "The first thing you have to do is-", She was quickly interrupted by Shinji and the orange haired guy. "We're not gonna use that piece of crap trainer of yours, Hiyori!" "Its not a piece of crap, it's a super trainer!" I just stood there and anime sweat dropped. After a few minutes of arguing, Shinji finally said, "Come with me." I followed him to a large room. We were met by five other people. Shinji spoke first. "We should introduce ourselves. I'm Hirako Shinji." The next to speak was the spiky headed person who dragged me there. "I'm Kurosaki Ichigo." After that, a weird girl who looked to be about nine said, "I'm Kuna Mashiro." A guy who looked like a 'Nam veteran who didn't like to joke around introduced himself as Mugurama Kensei. The others were Rojuro, Hachi, and Hiyori. "Go over there", said Shinji. He pointed to the south end of the decimated half of the building. I shrugged and went over there. On the other side of the room, Hiyori stood and drew her sword. I went ahead and drew mine as well. She started what looked like a teleportation technique, but she suddenly slowed down to barely a snail's pace. She started to collapse, but then she materialized a mask on her face. It was eerily similar to the monster who attacked earlier. She regained pace, but she was still not very fast. I too ran at her and our blades collided, but her sword dented. She suddenly switched out with Ichigo, who also was wearing a mask. I heard him say, "Ban-Kai" There was a flash of light, and then Ichigo stood there, and then, he bolted toward me, he was faster than anyone I had ever seen before. In a flash, he was in front of me, and his sword was embedded in my arm, which had reflexively come up to block the strike. I cried in agony, but then I remembered the phoenix. "Kogerutori!" I yelled, and suddenly, the blade transformed into what looked like a pirates sword, but it still had the handle of a katana. The top of the blade was on fire, and there was a chain coming off of the back of the sword. At the end of the chain there was a table saw blade. I jabbed at Ichigo, but I was too slow. He dodged and embedded his blade into my gut. I fell because of the pain. Ichigo looked like the victor, but I then felt a surge of power, very close to what I felt when my body was moving at its own will. I suddenly had n control as I got up, grabbed my sword, and charged at Ichigo. He seemed surprised, and before I could see more, I blacked out.
