A/N: Hey guys here it is Chapter 2of Dragonball: The Shinigami Chronicles. Now to anwer a question some of you will most likely ask, no Ichigo does not know that Yuzu and Karin are watching his fight, nor can he hear them, nor does he "feel" them in terms of reiatsu. He is focused on his fight. Now Ichigo if you'll do the disclaimer.

Ichigo: Sure. Chaos-Guard does not own Bleach or DBGT, he wouldn't be writing this if he did.

Now on to the story!


Chapter 2: Ichigo vs. Baby Vegeta

Ichigo and Baby stared at each other for what seemed to be an eternity, but then the ground crumbled under Ichigo's feet as he flash stepped behind the possessed saiyan and swund the daito in his black metal fused hand. Baby narrowly dodged and charged at the orange haired Vizard. A sadistic grin plastered on his face.

"This is perfect, I can thoroughly test my new powers against you boy. You seem to be even stronger than that monkey down there." Baby said indicating Goku below them. Ichigo's eyes were filled with anger and malice.

Zangetsu crashed into Baby's fist, the collision created a shock wave that crushed some of the buildings around the two super charged warriors.

Ichigo flew back as did Baby as they both began to charge their own attacks.

"Getsuga Tenshou!" Ichigo roared in anger.

"FINAL FLASH!" Baby shouted.

Ichigo's black cresent wave collided with Baby's neon yellow beam. The two attacks struggled for dominance for several moments. The beam began to push again the cresent fang more and more until finally the Getsuga disapated. The beam rushed at Ichigo who dodged via shunpo. Ichigo now smirked, as adrenaline pumped through his veins. He was having the time of his life. This fucker had actually proved to be a challenge.

Ichigo scowled at that last one.

'Hollow, keep your thoughts to yourself.'

"Ahhh, Kingy I was beginning to have some fun. I can feel the bloodlust leaking off you and it is simply exhilarating. Let me out.'

'No' Ichigo shouted at his bleach white copy. Unknown to him Baby had charged another attack and was taking aim at the Shinigami.

'ICHIGO, KEEP YOUR EYES ON YOUR OPPONENT!' He heard, and looked to see Baby firing a volley of energy blast at him. He narrowed his eyes as he swatted the attacks with his blade.(Think back to Ichigo's fight with Byakuya.) Baby was shocked at the boy.

Baby then smirked.


Goku watched as the two being fought on a high power than even he was at, and he was one of the strongest beings in the universe. He was shocked at Ichigo, he could clearly see that the boy was experienced. The way he moved was that of a veteran, not a boy who simply fought to fight, but a true warrior. Another thing that surprised him was he couldn't sense Ichigo's power.

'Is that even possible?' He thought to himself with awe.

"GRANDPA!" A familiar cry of joy called out, ripping him from his thoughts.

He turned to the voice. He saw a small girl with two other girls in her arms. He gave a sigh of relief to see his granddaughter was safe, but who were the other two?

"Pan, I'm glad you're okay." Goku said as Pan looked at him.

"What?" He asked.

"You're covered in fur." She deadpanned.

Goku was shocked momentarily at her reply, and then laughed his usually carefree excited laugh. Pan smirked at her grandpa. "Oh, that's right I need to introduce you guys to Grandpa."

"C-c-can w-w-we g-get on t-t-the ground f-f-first?" Yuzu asked frightend of the height they were at.

Pan chuckled nervously as Goku gave her a nod and they descended from their positions.

"Hi, I'm Son Goku, it's nice to meet you." He gave them a genuine smile, which the two girls returned.

"I'm Kurosaki Karin, and this is my sister Yuzu." Karin calmly said though she was hiding her fear as she looked up to see the battle that waged over head.

Yuzu followed her sister's gaze to see her brother and another figure fighting.

"ICHI-NII!" She cried out.

Goku grimaced at the girls one word. He looked at the battle and saw that Baby was taking the lead and putting Ichigo on the defensive.


Ichigo blocked another energy attack from Baby with precision. 'Dammit, he's slowly getting faster. I might end up having to use it to beat him.' He panted hard as Baby got ready to attack again. 'Fuck, I may not have a choice.' He began to block a flurry of punches from Baby that seemed to start to get faster.

"Getsuga," Ichigo began to push as much reishi into his sword as he could. "TENSHOU!" He cried out.

The fang hit Baby head on. The impact caused an explosion throwing him toward the ground at a high speed enough to tear a normal human to shreds, but whoever said he was normal.

He crashed into the ground creating a massive crater. He got up with little pain but he was nearing his limit. He had to end this now. He looked at his free hand and sighed. "Guess I have no choice in the matter, huh?"


Yuzu and Karin watched in horror as their brother crashed into the ground. They wanted to go to his side so bad, but they were stopped by Goku and Pan. "Baby, isn't done for, he's planning on what is next move will be. I'm sure even Ichigo would tell you to stay with us." The two fraternal twins nodded hesitantly, but still couldn't bear this. They had just lost almost everything, now all they had was Ichigo, and they weren't willing to give him up.

Then a gut wretching feeling went through the pits of their stomachs. They had felt this before, when they had been attacked all those times before. Karin looked over to the crater and saw a blur race toward the cloud of smoke then she saw the figure pushing out the possessed saiyan with sheer force.

"GETSUGA TENSHOU!" The figure roared with an echoed voice.

"Ichi-nii…" Karin whispered, but went unnoticed as the other three watched the battle in awe.


Ichigo had put his hollow mask on. He had needed the extra boost in order to take this guy down.

"Hey, Baby, this is where we end this." He said making multiple speed clones as he circled Baby.

Baby looked around trying to find the right orange haired shinigami. "Stay still you pathetic piece of garbage."

'Wow, he sounds just like Ulquiora.' Ichigo thought as he continued.

Ichigo slashed at Baby cutting him in several areas. He finally stopped his assault and appeared in front of Baby. He glared at Baby with his cold, hard, hollow gaze. Baby was breathing was haggard as his anger was rising higher and higher until he finally roared and his power sky rocketed.

"I WILL KILL YOU, YOU PIECE OF TRASH! I WON"T EXCEPT THIS DEFEAT!" Baby put his hands in place as he began to charge for an attack.

Ichigo stood in place as he waited for the attack.

'Ichigo, what are you waiting for finish him!' Zangetsu shouted at his wielder.

'Sorry, Tensa, but I want him at his best. I want him to know the difference in our powers.' Ichigo told his zanpakutou.

'That's the spirit Kingy. Tear him apart!' His hollow screamed.

Ichigo smirked under his mask at his hollow's words. 'That's the idea.'

Baby was finally done charging the attack, seeing that his opponent just stood there like he was no threat.

"FINAL FLASH!" Baby screamed in rage.

Ichigo saw the attack approaching and raised his blade above his head.

"GETSUGA TENSHOU!" He roared with determination. He wasn't going to lose not after this guy aimed at his pride. Not after losing everything else that was precious to him. He would not fail again.

The two attacks collided resulting in a flash of light.


"ICHI-NII!" Yuzu and Karin cried out in fear. They began to run toward where the flash of light had originated, but were stopped by Goku and Pan.

"Let me go! I have to see Ichi-nii!" Yuzu shouted as tears ran down her face. Karin didn't say anything, but her eyes told the two saiyans what they needed to know. She was afraid for Ichigo.

"DAMN YOU!" They heard a angered voice shout. "DAMN YOU TO HELL! I WILL COMPLETELY OBLITERATE YOU!"

They all looked to see Baby bloody from the attack. His arm was bleeding profusely, his left eye was closed due to the blood pouring from a head injury, and his chest was covered with a burn mark and blood.

"I'd like to see you try." Another voice said with a terrifying echo effect. They looked in the direction of the voice to see Ichigo with half of his mask still on and part of his shihaksho destroyed. He was covered by scrapes, but other than that he was unharmed.

Yuzu and Karin calmed down, but were still worried for their brother. He was the last piece of family they had, they couldn't lose him. "You think that he'll be okay?" Yuzu asked to no one in particular.

For several moments no one said anything. For what seemed to be an eternity, Goku finally said something. "He'll be fine; he has the determination and heart of a warrior. He won't lose to a guy that can't do anything without a host."

This caught Karin's attention. "What?"

Gokau turned to her to explain the situation. "You see, Baby, is only controlling a body that was my friend's. So I've kinda thought of a plan to beat him."

"What is it Grandpa?"

"Let Baby try to take over Ichigo."

"He can try." Karin finally said with confidence. Goku and Pan looked at her like she had grown a second head.

"Why do you say that?" Pan asked her with a puzzled look.

Karin just gave her a bemused look. "Watch, listen, and pay attention, then you'll find out."

Goku was even more puzzled, but shrugged when he saw Baby begin to raise his power level. "He's still that powerful?!"

"Ichi-nii, will win no matter what!" Yuzu shouted."It doesn't matter who the opponent is, Ichi-nii always wins!"

Goku smiled at the girl's confidence in her brother.


"I'm ending this Baby. Getsuga," Ichigo announced to Baby. "Tenshou." Just as he went to swing his blade a silver blue liquid shot out towards him and entered his body through one of his scrapes.

Since that body is nothing compared to you I'll be taking over, A voice said within him.

"Oh, is that so…" Ichigo smirked and closed his eyes as he felt a familiar tug.


Ichigo opened his eyes to see his inner world. He looked around and found a figure standing away from him. The figure had a metal like skin and yellow, red, and black clothing. "Oh, do you plan on fighting me alone, boy?"

Ichigo shook his head with a smirk on his face. "I doubt they'd let me. Am I right hollow, Tensa!"

"Damn straight, King. I want to cut this fucktard to pieces!"

"You are correct, Ichigo."

Baby looked around to see two figures. One being a teenage boy with a black trench coat. He shoulder length dark hair and ice blue eyes. He held a completely black daito that had a broken chain on it. The other figure had a terrifying black skull mask, which had horns and two white strip going down it. He had bleach white hair and skin. He also wore clothing similar to Ichigo's only the color scheme was the opposite of Ichigo's.

"Who are you?" Baby asked

The three beings looked at each other each one smirked. "We are your end. The very thing that makes people fear the dark and protect the weak from evil. We are… A guardian to those we care for most." Ichigo said about all three of them.

"Now Baby get ready to have your ass handed to you."


A/N: Well now twists and turns coming and going, I was pround of this chapter cause you guys get to see just how far Ichigo can go against a saiyan and yes SS4 Baby Vegeta is stronger than SS4 Goku, and is equal to Ichigo without his hollow mask on.
