The power of idashimaru!
Karoshi: wait, you intend to- (is cut off by the fearsome attack of his zanpakto) Karoshi: no mercy eh!? So be it! (Karoshi fights back blocking his sword strikes and swinging his own at a high speed. The zanpakto keeps up with no problem) Karoshi: so how do I attain this shikai huh!? Man: I was hoping you would ask. (The man backs up and transforms into a sword with a scythe blade instead of a normal tip) man: its very simple. My sword shall undergo multiple transformations. Only one is your true shikai. I have to stab you with your true shikai and you will absorb its power. Choose the wrong blade however and you will die. Karoshi: this is some kind of game!? Man: of sorts. You cannot hear my name right now. You must first attain my power. Then you will learn my name and gain my power.
Karoshi: I see. So be it. (Thinking: this scythe blade can't be it. It's the first transformation. But how can I choose?) Man: come…Karoshi! Karoshi: suit yourself. Hado one! Sho! (A thrust sends the man flying) that's not all! Fire style: dragon flame jutsu! (A large dragon flame engulfs the man. Out of the flames comes the scythe sword, its spinning having been thrown at him.) Karoshi: humph! (He blocks the sword but it was thrown with so much force that the scythe blade impales karoshi's shoulder) Karoshi: gah! Man: it appears that blade is not it. Karoshi: what do you mean!? Man: I myself do not know witch blade is your correct form. Karoshi: your trying to make a human pincushion out of me! I'm going to crush you! Man: hold still. (Another blade appears in his hands. A katana with a saw blade instead of katana blade) Karoshi: I don't think so. Rasengan!
Man: the rasengan? What makes you think that will have any effect? Karoshi: shut up! (He runs straight at the man and plows the rasengan into his stomach. The man coughs up blood and is sent hurling) Karoshi: ha! What was that shit about no effect? ?I didn't say "no effect" Karoshi: !? (The man walks out of the smoke still with a bad injury on his stomach) Karoshi: how are you still…? Man: it doesn't matter how many times you put me down. Unless you are killed I can't be destroyed. Karoshi: so that's why you didn't block it. (Suddenly Karoshi feels a sharp pain in his back. He looks back to discover the saw blade impaled in his back) man: I did that as you hit me with the rasengan. It appears that one is not it either. (A third blade appears in his hand. This time it's a circular saw attached to a long pole emanating from the katanas handle.) Karoshi: oh HELL no!
Man: hold still Karoshi. Karoshi: as if ill let you stab me with that! (The saw blade starts spinning super fast) man: you don't have a choice. Karoshi: oh yeah? (Sharingan appears in his eyes) man: the Sharingan? Interesting. Karoshi: I will crush you. (Runs straight at the man and swings but his katana is blocked by the saw blade and creating sparks. The man over powers Karoshi and the saw blade comes down and karoshi's left shoulder) Karoshi: gaahhh! Man: this is not it either…!? (The curse mark is again spreading on Karoshi. The man jumps back at the sight. The saw blade transforms into a long staff with blades coming from the ends. A double ended spear) Karoshi: this power…again. (Clenches fist and smiles evilly) man: don't think those marks will save you. This will not end until we get it right. Why fight? You know the damage doesn't exist to your physical body. As soon as you leave here you will be UN injured. (Karoshi looks up with a very evil look on his face) Karoshi: I know. But im enjoying myself. (His licks his lips) its so much fun to face someone so powerful. So lets make this fun. I fight to the finish! An unending battle is UN ending fun!
Man: such blood thirst…is this really Karoshi? Karoshi: with this power our fight will get really fun. Come! Zanpakto! Man: so be it. (The man runs forward and tries to stab Karoshi, but misses. Karoshi sweeps the man and lands a kick to his gut. He coughs up blood but gets back up. He jumps back a distance and throws the spear. It impales karoshi's stomach) man: not it either. (Karoshi pulls it out as if it had only poked him) Karoshi: be prepared. I shall end you! (Mean while we come to Ichigo with karoshi's unconscious body) Ichigo: hmm…how is it going in their Karoshi? (Suddenly a random soul reaper comes in franticly) Ichigo: what is it? Calm down. Soul reaper: sir bad news! A powerful hollow infiltrated squad ones barracks! He's coming HERE! Ichigo: I know. Soul reaper: y-you do? How? Ichigo: I received word of a hollow that can take soul reaper appearance. (points his long blade at the soul reaper) Ichigo: you are he. Soul reaper: cleaver bastard. (Soul reaper transforms into a massive hollow with a dinosaur body but slightly human head and very long arms)
Hollow: hello Ichigo. I've been looking for you. Your soul smells so tasty. I can wait to dig in! (He tries to eat Ichigo but he moves out of the way. The hollow notices karoshi's body on the ground and attacks it. Ichigo blocks him but just barley.) Ichigo: scum. Hollow: there are no rules against eating a little soul reaper. ? You think so eh? (Karoshi is getting up) Ichigo: get him Karoshi! Karoshi: electrify…IDASHIMARU! (In a single moment Karoshi drew and released his sword. He is behind the hollow witch no has two long slashes on its face) Ichigo: he was so fast he cut it twice? No that isn't it. (The hollow evaporates revealing Karoshi standing there. In his right hand is a long katana. The handle is wrapped in blue bandages. The guard is a circular saw blade shape with a dragon breathing fire etched into it. The blade is long and has 3 spikes slightly pointing downward about an inch long each near the end and middle of the blade. Its colored red and black, the cutting edge colored red. The blue bandages extend into a long ribbon that attach to a second blade. Its shapes like ichigo's original shikai except only 2 and half feet long. And the back of the blade has two one inch spikes pointing slightly backward also colored red and black but its cutting edge is black) Ichigo: incredible. A 4th zanpakto that splits into two blades. Idashimaru eh? What promise this child has. Karoshi: (remains silent for several moments before looking back at Ichigo and with a big smile says) final step complete!
