Chapter seven: the hunter becomes the hunted

"Foolish child. Do you really think you can defeat the Ghost Zone's greatest hunter?" Skulker laughed as he pressed a red button on the cuff of his wrist. Row by row of missiles shot out at Toshiro, until all three rows on his shoulders was empty. Toshiro flashed him a smirk as the missiles neared him. He then used flash step to dodge the attack. Skulker's eyes widened with surprise, as he did not think a mere child could move that fast.
"Do you really think you can just blow me up and call it a day? It's not that easy." Toshiro stated as he leapt at Skulker, swiping his blade downwards at the bounty hunter. As if it were an instinct, Skulker made himself tangible. The blade went right through his chest as he was left unharmed. Toshiro looked at the hunter in amazement. He had never seen anyhone be able to do that. If Skulker could use that power at will, then Toshiro won't be able to lay a hand on him. "Where did you come from?" Toshiro asked.
"Lets just say there was a door that was wide open to your world and I decided to help myself in." Skulker replied as he became solid.
'So, he's from that portal. I should take him into custody then and question him instead of kill him.' Toshiro thought to himself.

While lost in thought, Skulker had disappeared. He was no where to be found, until Toshiro turned around. He was met with a metal fist flying towards his face. Reacting quickly Toshiro unleashed a bakudo spell.
"BAKUDO NUMBER FOUR, HAINAWA!" Toshiro shouted. He clasped his hands together as yellow rope-like energy wrapped itself around his hands. He threw his hands up as the yellow energy shot out at Skulker, and wrapped around him. Skulker was unable to phase through the yellow bindings as he been made powerless to do anything.
"How can this be? This yellow rope is suppressing my ghost powers!" Skulker yelled out as he tried his hardest to break the rope, but it was no use. Toshiro then grabbed Skulker, and drug him back into the barracks as he kicked and screamed.

Ichigo had thought it would be a good idea to come back to the Soul Society to give the head captain an update of what's going on. He also felt like Danny should accompany him. Walking through the Seireitei, Danny listened in on some of the other shinigamis conversations. Some rumor seemed to sweep through the city. They all talked about someone named Captain Hitsugaya had captured a monster. From the description of the monster, it sounded very familiar to Danny. Of course Danny was invisible as he didn't need to stir up any trouble for Ichigo within his own realm.
*Sounds like the captain frostbite had some fun.* Shiro stated mentally.
"It sounds like he had encountered someone from your realm Danny. Any clues as to who?" Ichigo whispered.
"From the sounds of it, my most reliable guess would be Skulker." Danny whispered back as he flew close to Ichigo.
*Skulker?*
"He says that he is the Ghost Zone's greatest hunter. But with how many times I have beaten him, I don't think he is all that great."
"Then I guess that it is all the more reason to go see the old man. I would hate to have Mayuri get his hands on anything from your world." Ichigo stated as he picked up the pace.

As Ichigo approached the meeting hall where all the captains gathered, he could see the heightened security. Ichigo flashed his combat pass to the guards allowing him inside.
"I am telling you head captain allow me to take it apart molecule by molecule and I will find out more about this creature." stated a voice that Ichigo recognized all too well.
*Sounds like that crazed mad scientist found himself a new toy to play with.*Shiro stated mentally.
"Let me free! I will have all of your heads resting above my mantle place!" yelled out another voice that Danny recognized.
"That's most definitely Skulker." Danny whispered.
"We should kill it now before others show up." growled a female's voice.
"That would be kind of hard to do Soi Fon considering that he is a ghost." Ichigo stated letting his presence known.
"Kurosaki, you know of this creature?" asked head captain.
"Not entirely but my new ally does. He's quite familiar with this ghost." replied Ichigo.
"I don't see anyone with you." stated Jushiro.
"That's because he's invisible. He didn't want someone to attack him when he is on our side. He is from the other side of the portal but he is one of the good guys." Ichigo replied.
"The ghost-child is here?" screeched Skulker whom struggled in his bindings. Danny couldn't help but to laugh out loud seeing that the hunter had now become the hunted.
"God, even in another universe you don't stand a chance. It's funny to see you like this Skulker. So much for being the Ghost Zone's greatest hunter. It's ironic that the hunter has now become the hunted."Danny stated as he became visible. Everyone went for their zanpakuto's but Ichigo took on a defensive stance before Danny.
"Phantom... perhaps this isn't the best time to make silly remarks." Ichigo hissed as he didn't want to reveal Danny's true name.
"Sorry. Couldn't resist." Danny replied as he pulled out a Thermos that was hanging from his side. "Alright Skulker, lets get you back to where you belong." Danny stated as he channeled his energy into the device causing it to suck Skulker into its confines. Danny placed the lid back on it he looked at the other Shinigami that stood in the room. The older man whom seemed to be in charge looked at him and them looked at Toshiro whom looked almost like Danny despite the difference in costume. Danny didn't like how the man with the painted face looked at him that it made him go almost invisible.

"Wait! He's getting away!" Soi Fon shouted out as she charged to where Danny used to be. Ichigo interrupted her before she could even strike.
"You will not lay a hand on him. He is a friend and ally. He is about the only one here who knows anything about those ghosts and can offer us assistance in shutting down the portal as it has become unstable." Ichigo stated but his voice sounded darker as it laced with Shiro's. The hollow mask began to creep onto Ichigo's face.
"Captain Soi Fon stand down at once. Kurosaki, please tell your friend that we mean him no harm." stated head captain Yamamoto.
"I am not certain about that. The one with a painted face is looking at me like I am some sort of science experiment. I get that enough in my own realm." Danny stated as he remained invisible. 'That was including from my parents before they learned the truth.' Everyone glared at Mayuri as Ichigo had his full hollow mask on unleashing a mass amount of reishi at the captain of squad twelve.
"But don't you see. This could befit us if we can examine on these creatures, who knows what sort of secrets they can reveal." replied Mayuri. Ichigo had moved so fast that he held his zanpakuto to Mayuri's throat.

Yamamoto smashed his cane down onto the floor calling for everyone to pay attention to him.
"No harm will come to this being! Am I clear?" Yamamoto shouted. All of the captains nodded their heads agreeing to the head captains ruling. "Kurosaki, please..." Ichigo stepped away from Mayuri sheathing his zanpakuto and causing his hollow mask to break. Even though he hasn't known Danny for long, he recognized a kindred spirit when he saw one. Danny was just grateful that Ichigo saw him as an ally and not as an enemy. He would hate to cross paths with Ichigo as he had no clue what the teen was capable of. "Now can your friend come out of hiding so we can fully understand the situation?" asked Yamamoto. Ichigo nodded his head as Danny became physical.
"Phantom meet the thirteen court guards of the Seireitei. Guys... this is Phantom." Ichigo introduced Danny as the younger teen nodded his head.
