"...Orihime..!"
Someone... that loved you more than I... do you hate me for that... Ichigo?
She could barely feel the blue arrow of light as it pierced through her chest.
Do you... hate me for that...?
Ichigo stood, paralyzed, as Orihime fell into his arms, blood dripping from her lips.
"I'm sorry... Ichigo... that I couldn't..."
Ichigo held her and cried as she struggled to speak.
"I wanted... I never wanted... to see you cry... ever again..."
"Ori...hime...?"
"Do... you hate... me... for letting you... cry?"
Her hand lifted to his cheek, softly caressing it. She then began pulling on it, gripping it tightly.
"Ori...hi...me?"
"I just... wanted to... be the one... to have made you smile... for the... last... time..."
Her hand slowly descended from his face, until it went limp.
And for the first time, Ichigo saw not black... not the darkness... he only saw...
Red...
"Kurosaki..."
Ichigo cradled Orihime, not letting go for a second. He stared ahead, finally noticing the wielder of the arrow...
"Ryuken... Ishida..."
The white-haired Quincy, fitted in his all white business suit, held out his bow, staring directly at Ichigo.
"YOU BASTARD!"
Diving, Ichigo grabbed his blade and took a swing at Ryuken, who grabbed it with his hand. Ichigo couldn't feel the slice dug into his shoulder, causing him to collapse. Ryuken appeared next to the fallen form of Orihime, staring down at her.
"Sklaverei..."
Orihime's body began disintegrating into Reishi, before being absorbed into his Quincy Cross, which assumed the shape of her Shun Shun Rikka. Steiner appeared next to him, intrigue written across his face.
"So powerful... to use Sklaverei without Volstandig..."
"Keep your comments to yourself..."
"You could have at least kept to the body... beautiful woman, she was..."
"Shut the hell up."
Without acknowledging any other further comments, Ryuken put the new pendant in his pocket and began to leave.
"How dare you attack the Master!?"
Turning, Ryuken saw all the other Arrancars jump at him. Closing his eyes, a swift slash was all they felt, and they hit the ground, bleeding. Continuing on his path, he halted his steps when he felt Ichigo get back up.
"Fade to black... La Luna Negra..."
Ryuken turned around, eyes filled with no emotion. Readying his bow, Ryuken stood his ground. Ichigo, clad in his armor and Reiatsu clothing, gathered energy into his blade for a familiar attack.
"Luna Camilla!"
Quickly, the blast of Reiatsu was pierced through by multiple arrows, by which Ichigo dodged. Flying towards Ryuken, Ichigo put his hand upon his head and pulled down.
"What the...?"
A monstrous mask, with horns and black lines running down his eyes, covered his face and the front of his long hair. Ryuken dodged his attack as Ichigo stood still and turned towards the Quincy. Standing still, Ryuken kept his eyes on the monster. Ichigo held his blade out, which began... shrinking?
"Densidad de la Luna Camilla..."
The blade shrunk, until it became a normal daito, exactly like his old Bankai.
Ryuken narrowed his eyes, waiting for any sign of movement. Looking above, he saw the boy's Sonido as he attempted a strike from the sky. Dodging, his surprise was clearly revealed as he watched the entire edge of the building collapse. Too late, he didn't see the blade hitting his right arm. Instead of being cut...
"Shit!"
It was completely blown away.
'The blade... does it compress his full power into it... like his Bankai!?'
Attempting to shoot him with his left hand, Ryuken felt the pressure of his left arm being broken as Ichigo grabbed both his arrow and his hand. With his other hand, he grabbed Ryuken's throat and looked directly into his eyes. Ryuken struggled at his grip.
"You... monster..."
The words didn't matter to Ichigo, whose mouth opened with as a black Cero melded with another white Cero from his horns.
"Luna Cera..."
His attack failed to connect when his entire mask, save his jaw bone, was blown off. Turning, Ichigo glared at his assailant.
"Kurosaki..."
"What the hell do you want, Uryu!? Stay outta this!"
Uryu stood, Ginrei Kojaku pointed at Ichigo's head.
"I'm sorry... Ichigo... but I can't let you kill my father... Ichigo... don't make me hurt you!" Ichigo's temper rose to its highest point.
"After what he's done!? Don't you know he killed... he... Damn you! Damn you both! I'll kill you!"
Sweeping from his broken mask fragment, he created the mask fit for the bottom half of his face, releasing his bone armor. The explosion blasted both Uryu and Ryuken back as he roared into the heavens.
Of all the Arrancars, only Loly was still awake. And the events left a cigarette burn hole on her heart.
'...Ichigo...'
She might have had a history with the busty human that was... not so good, to say the least... but the despair her master felt... It was unbearable.
Standing up, she attempted to move before a hand grabbed her shoulder.
"As much as you and I both would like to enter... this... is a battle for a man's pride... If you enter... he would never forgive you... Or himself if you were to die."
Loly turned, facing a short, raven-haired girl with giant eyes, wearing a white robe and scarf. Hanging just under the scarf was a badge. The woman had her eyes shut, tears slowly coming out of her eyes.
"But.. but.."
"If things get too bad... I will step in myself..."
Behind a building, Ryuken stood with Uryu, hiding from Ichigo.
"Son, I don't need your-"
"I'm not here to help you. I'm here to calm Ichigo down."
Ryuken quieted down.
"That way, I can question you without having you die, so I can kill you myself. There's nothing you can say to me from this point on to prevent me from ending your life."
"You would never understand..."
Suddenly, the building that they were hiding behind was split directly in half. Ichigo came, sword blazing with black fire, and swung multiple Luna Camillas at both of the Quincies. Uryu was hit, crashing into a creek at a park, while Ryuken crashed into a building. Following up, he pulled a chain from his blade and tossed it at Uryu.
"Cadena Ciela!"
Uryu was grabbed and tossed on the other side of the park, landing through the same building as Ryuken.
"There is no calming him down, Uryu... You have to pick a side now... Can you really point an arrow at-"
Ryuken's surprise was very small as he watched Uryu aim directly at his forehead.
"...Very well.."
Ryuken stood, hand grabbing at his glove.
"I did not want to kill your friend... nor did I want to disobey the wishes of that man... but now..." Uryu's eyes widened as he was paralyzed in shock.
"Quincy: Vollstandig... Andachtiel..."
Uryu was blasted away at the utter pressure of his father's release... and Ichigo, who headed straight for the explosion...
...could not feel his legs as they were blasted away. His upper torso gripped at the rubble he landed on, trying to pull himself closer to Ryuken, but stopped struggling, resting upon the destroyed terrace.
"Master Ichigo!"
"Master Juhabach!"
Juhabach stared as his right-hand man screamed into his ear. Rubbing his ear briefly, he asked Haschwald to repeat his information.
"Ryuken Ishida... murdered the human woman, Orihime Inoue and stole her powers. At the same time, he dealt a fatal wound to Ichigo Kuro-"
"He will make it..."
"Sir...?"
"Ichigo Kurosaki won't die... because only I can do it. He will not die... because I won't allow it. Come... we head to Karakura immediately."
"Orihime!"
Ichigo woke up in a sweat. Panicking, he knocked over a glass of water. Noticing his surroundings, Ichigo discovered he was back at...
"Soul Society?"
"Yes... In the medical ward... I had to create artificial legs for you."
"Artificial... legs...?"
The events came back to him...
'That... was all real...'
Eyes downcast, Ichigo buried his face into his knees and sat there. Unohana leaned against her table, unable to say anything...
"...Where is everyone...?"
"Captains Urahara, Shihoin, and Feng are checking the town for any signs of Ryuken and Steiner. The Arrancars have all returned to Las Noches. And Lieutenants Kuchiki and Abarai are here. I'll leave you be now."
After Unohana left, Rukia and Renji appeared. Renji kicked back in a chair, while Rukia stood up, eyes glued to Ichigo.
"If this was any other time, Ichigo... I would have punched you and told you to get over it. But that isn't the case... If I did, I would have been a hypocrite. So I won't tell you to get over it."
Rukia paused, wiping the tears from her
"But I will say... that this isn't the Ichigo that Orihime would have wanted to see."
"Yeah, what she said."
"..."
Ichigo continued to bury his face into his leg. Rukia moved over to hug him as he cried and bureid his face into her haori, holding him to her chest.
"...Mhhhmmmmmhmmm..."
Hearing him mumble, she pulled away from him, so he could speak.
"I'm not... trying to win... a breathing contest... Rukia..."
She gazed down, seeing the attempted smile place on Ichigo's teary face and smiled with him.
"Glad that the awkward moment is over... I was getting a little nervous."
Rukia laughed as she smacked Renji on the head.
"Shut up, Renji!"
Ichigo laughed along with them... but his heart spoke a different story. Getting up, he put on his clothes and began to walk off.
"Well... I have to go... get things together." Rukia nodded...
...and kicked him in the shin.
"You can't fool me Ichigo... don't let hate ruin you... Revenge doesn't sit well with a person like you."
Rubbing his sore shin, Ichigo's face darkened as he walked off.
"Too bad... Rukia... because that's only thing keeping me going..."
Rukia attempted to reach out to Ichigo as he walked into the dark corridor of the hospital.
"I'm going to kill them... and I'm going to rip Uryu's and his father's body apart... until it makes me feel better..."
And with that, Ichigo walked into the darkness... as his entire world...
...And the reality... will devour your very soul... Ichigo Kurosaki...
...Faded to black...
"So what happens now?"
Halibel sat, eyes staring down. Asguiaro punched the table as he stood up.
"What now!? Your plan with Kurosaki's gone to shit! This is exactly how we all were fucked up in the beginning! Because of your fucking indecision and terrible planning!"
Grimmjow stood and hounded on him.
"Will you quit your bitching!? You don't think were all nervous, goddamnit!?"
Nel listened to the two argue and held her head in her hands. Pesche walked to her and hugged her.
"Fuck you!"
"Alright, I'm kicking your ass!"
"Both of you dare fight in my meeting hall? Cease at once."
Turning, everyone noticed Ichigo walk into the room.
"Ichigo...?"
He wore his normal hakama pants, but above he wore a knee-length sleeveless robe, with a robe with bell-like sleeves thrown on his shoulders, dressed almost like Yamamoto. He walked to his chair at the head of the table, where Loly stood next to him.
"I haven't give up yet, so neither should you..."
Ichigo turned and faced the entire room.
"So... unless you've given up already, we will form the Espada as quickly as we can. I'm going to hunt every last one of these Quincies down."
The entire room was layered in silence. Tesla decided to ask his lord how he was feeling.
"So... uhh... my lord... how are feeling about-"
Grimmjow smacked him in the face.
"You tryin' to get us all killed...?"
Ignoring them, Ichigo grabbed the Hogyoku that Loly brought to him. Staring at it, He closed his eyes as everyone's body began to feel like it were on fire.
"Holy shit! What the fuck is goin' on!"
The only one sitting still was Nel, who noticed that her number on her back slightly tinged. Ichigo sat in his chair, eyes closed as he ignored the sensation.
As quickly as it came, the sensation was gone. As everyone turned in their seats to find their number, Ichigo grabbed his robe and pulled it open, where in the center of his chest was inked the '1' for the Primera.
"Goddamnit! How does that bitch have three!? I'm stronger than her!"
"Obviously not, Grimmjow. The Hogyoku told it's truth, so get over it!"
"Damnit! Why do I have Ulquiorra's old number! Fuck my Life!"
"I...have... lord Nnoitra's... number..."
"I'm sorry, Lady Halibel... but I... desired... to be your equal... if only for a moment."
"I'm not disappointed in you Sung-Sun."
Grimmjow was pissed off again.
"Where the fuck is number seven!?"
Deep in a prison, an Arrancar chained into the ground was laid back with his eyes closed. Opening his eyes wide, he felt a tinge tingling on his skin, believing he was being tortured again. As quickly as he roared in pain, the fire died down. Head hunching over, he noticed a '7' inked into his left arm.
And for the first time... he was overjoyed.
"If our seventh person was not selected here... Then he must be a prisoner..."
Ichigo stood from his table and motioned for his Espada to follow.
"...If that's the case... we will find him... and return him home..."
Trivia:
-Ryuken has been said to have master all forms of Quincy techniques, so it's possible he might know both the old fashioned Ishida's techniques and the Modern Vandenreich skills.
-Ichigo's Resurreccion is versatile, as I said long ago.
It seperates into these groups:
Normal form- This form does his basic attacks fit for Ichigo's powers, such as Luna Camilla.
Ultimo Mask- The form that pulls the mask half way. This is the form similar to his Final Getsuga Tensho, which uses most of his Soul Reaper based techniques. It has more actual techniques than his Menos form, but loses it's defensive power, due to the bone armor leaving him as he pulls on the mask. His body is covered in black, flame-like Reiatsu.
Menos Mask- The form that pulls down the mask like the Visored do. This form creates a mask similar to his fully Hollowfied/Vasto Lordes form. It uses his hollow based techniques, which is his original Luna Cera. It compacts his long, three-pronged daito(Fullbring-Influenced Bankai) into his original daito(Original Bankai) that has the ability to blast enemies with Reiatsu upon touching(Exactly like Yamamoto's Bankai). It increases his physical prowess of attack, speed, and defense, but he has no other techniques besides the Cero.
-Luna Camilla translates to Moon Fang.
-Densidad de la Luna Camilla translates to Compactness of the Moon Fang, referring to it's explosion upon a cut.
-Rukia knows her Bankai at this point, hence she was going to jump in. It wouldn't have helped, anyways.
-Cadena Ciela translates to Heaven Chain, which references the chain of Tensa Zangetsu(Heaven Chain Slaying Moon)
-Andacht means devotion, with the -iel added on to it. (Devotion of God)
-Ichigo's outfit is based similar to Yamamoto. However, his robe is Tosen's and his robe over his shoulder is Gin's.
-The '1' on Ichigo is where the Hogyoku is on Aizen.
