Let's get rolling.
Ichigo had been walking for god knows how long through that godforsaken forest. He had encountered a crap load of those knock off Hollows, but had no real issue in dealing with them. He was still confused as to where he was, but he figured that, if he stuck in one direction, he would find civilization eventually. Then, he stopped. And thought to himself, "Why don't I just use that technique that lets me stand on air? Why have I just been walking?" As he contemplated this, he failed to notice the massive, armor ridden black bear approaching behind him. When he heard its growl, however, he had one thing to say.
"Oh what the hell."
He then proceeded to get slammed into a tree, snapping it nearly in half. This actually hurt him, which was a surprise. He had figured that even with has massively weaker Reiatsu he could still shrug off hits like that. But it hurt like hell instead. So he did the only natural thing.
"Getsuga Tensho!"
The bear was carved in twain instantly, as a blade of pure Reiatsu ripped it apart. He then breathed out, and stepped on air. It worked, as the Reiatsu quickly gathered beneath his foot and lifted him in the air. He continued doing this until he was high above the tree line. While he was up there, he noticed a… village? An encampment? A gathering of tents surrounded by pointed wooden logs. Yeah, that was it. Ichigo quickly began to Flash Step towards it, hoping to finally reach some form of civilization. That was when he realized they likely wouldn't be able to see him, due to his nature as a Shinigami. He sighed.
"Eh, screw it. Better than nothin'."
He landed in the middle of the encampment, and quickly realized they could ABSOLUTELY see him. Everyone gaped at the man with long black hair, bandages across his entire body, and an arm and… dress… made of some form of flowing black energy. The weakest of them felt like they had a bunch of bricks on their backs, and immediately began struggling to stand, while the rest of them mostly just felt like someone had draped a heavy weighted blanket over them, due to having their Aura's unlocked.
"What in the world is that sensation? Vernal, what's going on ou-"
The woman's voice caught as she saw Ichigo.
"-T here…"
The lady had deep red eyes, long black hair that was up in a bow, and some of the weirdest clothing Ichigo had seen in a while. Even when he included the weird fashion choices of the Soul Society and Hueco Mundo, this lady was wearing some straight up wacko clothes for her age. Ichigo could tell she was in her low to mid 30s. (Lots of time with Miss Ikumi made him very adept at knowing someone's age.) Ichigo then had to ask.
"The hell are you wearing lady?"
The last thing Raven Branwen had expected today was to be asked what the hell she was wearing by a guy wrapped in bandages, with long black hair and a flowing, writhing… dress? Made out of black energy, as well as an arm made of the same stuff.
"What am I wearing? That sounds more like a question you ought to ask yourself. Another question is: Who the hell are you, barging in to MY camp uninvited. Unless you have a death wish…?"
"First off, lady, someone your age dressing like they're half that ain't working for ya. Second off, I'll be outta your hair as soon as you tell me where I am."
"You're in MY camp, in Mistral. Why should that matter? If you got here, then why would you need to ask? Do not lie, boy. And what do you mean MY age?!"
"Ah shit, that part slipped out. Crap let's just… ignore it? Yeah, ignore it."
"Well, I have no clue where that is. Also, Mistral? Where is that, on a map? Hueco Mundo, Soul Society, or Earth?"
"Am I meant to know what any of those are?"
"Wait, you don't know what ANY of them are? Earth? The planet you live on?"
"We live on Remnant, not this 'Earth' place. Are you delusional? I suppose that would explain why you came into my camp unannounced, for no reason."
Ichigo blanched at this information. He was nowhere on Earth, Hueco Mundo, or the Soul Society. He had just one thing to say about all of this, and it was beginning to become a routine of his.
"Well, shit."
Hey, another chapter. The next 2 chapters will focus on Ichigo, and then we'll get back to Aizen what whatever the hell he's up to. Let's hope that Beacon hasn't burnt to the ground yet, aye? Anyways, the updates will likely slow down a bit after this, due to me having some other stuff to do. (I'm just rereading Bleach, lol.) Anyways, cya on the flip side.
