(Flashback, minutes ago: Silbern)

"Your Majesty." Haschwalth bowed. "We have received reports that Ichigo Kurosaki is in the World of the Living."

Yhwach narrowed his eyes and smiled. "Is that so?" he grunted. "Very well. Send Sternritters E, H and T to immediately locate and eliminate him."

Confused, Haschwalth asked, "Were you not going to recruit him, Your Majesty?"

"It seems like I will never be able to return him to his brothers and sisters and he is too much a threat for our plans, so it is better to eliminate him. You may leave." Haschwalth bowed and turned to leave the room.

"How is my daughter? Is she coming along nicely, or is she struggling with her education?" Yhwach asked.

The blonde haired man turned around and spoke, "Just like her brother, she has an astounding growth rate. Her speed is steadily increasing and her close quarters combat is now on par with most of the Soldats."

Yhwach nodded. "It would appear like that boy was the right choice to educate her. What about her Schrift?" He asked, noticing Haschwalth's body language slightly shift in uncomfortableness. "What is it?"

Hesitant, the Sternritter Grandmaster spoke, "Your Majesty, her Schrift is very unique and dangerous, also very unstable. According to him, when she used it the first time, she nearly...killed him." That caused the Quincy King's eyes to widen. Her Schrift, whatever it was, was that powerful that it nearly killed that boy on her first try? That was interesting, to say the least. This now meant that only six Sternritter, including himself, that can fight evenly with him and kill him at full power.

He shook himself out of his thoughts and dismissed his 'second half', who bowed and left the room. Not long after that, a random Soldat barged into them, his uniform was bloodied and a lot of holes were visible. Yhwach narrowed his eyes in annoyance and grunted, "You must have a very good reason for barging in here without my permission, boy."

The Soldat, now scared shitless, immediately got down on one knee and spoke, "I apologize for barging into your room without your permission, Your Majesty! It was not my intention! I am one of the Jadgarmee that you sent to Hueco Mundo to eliminate the Hollows."

The Jadgarmee. To be honest, he had nearly forgotten about them, since the Hunting group were doing a good job at keeping the Hollows and Arrancar at bay. "Very well. You will not punished for your disrespect. Continue."

The Soldat silently breathed a sigh of relief and began reporting, "Yes, Your Majesty. As we were standing there watching over the Hollows, a group of three Arrancar women suddenly attacked us and killed several of our men. Luckily, Mr Opie defeated them easily. Just before he could kill them, they appeared."

"Who?"

The Soldat gulped. His Majesty was not going to like what was coming next. "A group of cloak wearing people suddenly appeared and killed everyone with suprising ease, including Sternritter J, Quilge Opie. I was let go by them to deliver a message to you. I am the only survivor left, sir." There was silence for a few moments.

"And?"

The Soldat looked up at the King, perplexed. "Your Majesty?"

"You said they gave you a message. Where is the message?"

The Soldat said nothing as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small device that looked like a metal disk. He then clicked a button and a projection appeared, showing a video of six figures wearing black cloaks, concealing their faces and body.

They were also surrounding a huge spike with Quilge Opie's head on the spike with his face looking shocked, as if he couldn't believe what was happening.

"Hello, Yhwach, Father of the Quincy." A deep voice spoke. "You do not know us, but we know you."

"You may call us the Condemned." A woman's voice was heard.

"We have a message for you from us and our king." Another male voice was heard. This one however, had no emotion.

"Fuck the message! How dare you attack our home and our people, all because you want to create a world where people are not afraid of death? You dare destroy Hollows and Arrancar, for what? Who are you to disrupt the entire fucking balance?!" Another voice growled but calmed down as a hand rested on his shoulders.

"What my partner is saying is that what you have done is inexcusable and unacceptable and you will pay dearly for it." The woman spoke.

"We may be Arrancar and Hollows, but Hueco Mundo is our home."

"And we will be damned If we let you come here and destroy it."

"Be prepared, Yhwach." They all chanted. "Because your time is running out." Then the video cut to static. After a few seconds of silence, the middle aged looking man looked at the man who was still bowing down.

"Leave."

The man did not need to be told twice as he ran out of the room. Yhwach sat back in his chair and frowned as a familiar emotion rose from the depths of his soul. Unfortunately, it was the same feeling he felt during the first Blood War.

Frustration.

He was frustrated because of a number of reasons. The return of his son borne in the darkness, probably more powerful than ever, now this group calling themselves the Condemned suddenly appearing out of nowhere and telling him his time was coming, not to mention the fact that the captains who had their Bankai stolen now had it restored thanks to the reluctant help of Kisuke Urahara.

He quickly buried the feeling. It mattered not. His Sternritter could easily defeat anyone who stood in their way and the Soldats were all well trained. The Schutzstaffel could turn the tide of the battle like a snap of a finger, his secret weapon was with his lost daughter and his eyes will finally open soon enough.

He grinned. Let them come. If he ever meets them in battle...

They will be condemned.


(Present Time: Outskirts of Karakura Town)

"Well that was a fucking disappointment." A female voice spoke arrogantly as three people, a man and two women wearing Sternritter uniforms, used Hirenkyaku to appear near the huge crater and tried to look inside, but too much fire and smoke was blocking their of the target. "There's no way both of them survived that."

"Don't get cocky, Candice. Always have your guard up." The man spoke. This man had green eyes and kept his red hair in a long Mohawk and had two metal nuts pierced into his upper-left ear, and a bolt through his lower-right ear. His attire was a variation of the Sternritter's typical white uniform that consisted of the order's signature hooded cloak, a thigh-length trench coat, black gloves, and pants which were cropped just above a pair of black military boots. He also wore a thin chain with the Wandenreich emblem attached to it around his neck and black armbands around his biceps, with a skull and cross bones design on it. He actually looked like a punkish thug, more than anything. "It can't possibly be the end of him. You saw that 'battle' between him and Jugram, if you could call it that. That kid beat Jugram, one of the Sternritters' strongest, with ease." This was Sternritter H Bazzard Black, also known Bazz-B amongst the Sternritter.

"I think you overestimated him, Bazz-B. Probably overthinking this too." The woman who Bazz-B was talking to spoke. She was a tall and well-endowed young woman, with long, light-green hair. She had blue eyes, prominent eyelashes and thin, lightning bolt shaped eyebrows. Her attire was a very heavily modified and revealing variation of the regular Sternritter's white uniform, consisting of the typical double-breasted jacket, which she kept tied up to reveal her midriff and unbuttoned, as well as removing the fabric on the sides, to display her cleavage, and a pair of short-shorts which were held up by a black belt with a green heart buckle attached to the side. She also wore a white cap on her head with gold trimmings, which features a black peak and the Wandenreich insignia emblazoned on its front, and a pair of bulky-shaft heeled-boots. This was Sternritter T Candice Catnipp. "He's dead, and whoever that bitch was. You, Haschwalth and His Majesty overestimated him. Simple as that." She remarked as she fixed her hair that was already fine.

"I agree with Candice. The guy's dead, now let's go home." The other female Sternritter spoke, uninterested. She was a slender young girl with long, straight, dark brown hair and brown eyes. Her attire was a variation of theSternritter's typical white uniform, consisting of the order's signature hooded-cloak, a thigh-length trench coat, knee-high boots, a miniskirt, and black stockings with a red trim on her gloves and boots.She wore a red heart-shaped belt buckle and a white cap with goldtrimmings, which featured a black peak and the Wandenreich insignia emblazoned on its front. This was Bambietta Basterbine, Sternritter E. "Too bad we didn't get orders to capture him. He was quite an handsome one too." She spoke, immediately noticing the glare aimed at her from Candice. "What?"

"Why, so you could kill him before the rest of us get their hands on him?" Candice growled.

A blush of embarrassment appeared on the brown haired girl's face. "He was going to be an exception."

"Oh, really?"

"Um...yeah?"

"Liar! You were going to kill him and not give the other girls a taste, you...!"

Bazz-B grumbled, but gestured for them to follow him. He really did not have time for their bullshit. However, as much as he wanted to believe the women and just let the issue rest, he couldn't help but have the sense that the kid was not dead, he was just out there, watching them. Suddenly, for no particular reason, he turned back to look at the crater they created, but instead saw a small shadow that was hiding behind the smoke that was growing larger and larger.

"Move!!" He yelled as he and the others evaded a dragon made from lava that was coming at them with speed before it collided on the ground. They levitated as lava covered the spot that they were walking on moments before.

"You Quincy truly are a rude bunch, attacking us when we are having a conversation." A calm voice was heard above them. They turned around to see the woman that got engulfed by the attack and explosion, levitating behind them with arms crossed and a smile that was small but mysterious. "Judging by the uniform you wear, you are part of the same group that went after the captains of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads."

"How the fuck are you alive?!" Candice screamed as she manifested a lance made of lightning. "You should be dead with him!" She noticed that everyone, including Bambietta and Bazz-B had moved a distance away and was looking at her with fear in their eyes.

"What are you idiots looking at?" She snarled but then closely looked at their eyes and quickly realized that they were not looking at her.

They were looking at what was behind her.

With eyes widened out of fear, she slowly looked up because she had a feeling that whatever or whoever was behind her was towering over here. She was greeted with a mask that had two long horns on its forehead and red lines that ran through its eyes, with those yellow eyes looking at her, it was as if the eyes were staring into her soul. She quickly backed away from him as the unfamiliar emotions of fear and dread crept up her spine shook her to the core as she looked at the man she thought was dead.

Or rather, his transformation.

Ichigo now had long straight hair, reaching down to his waist, and a Hollow hole that was decorated with markings stretching from the hole across his chest and shoulders. He had retractable claws on his fingertips and toes, small, furry red tufts, two starting from his collarbone and stretching around his neck and one each on his wrists and ankles, and white skin. In this new form, his Hollow mask covered Ichigo's entire head, and its markings are different, for it has four spike-shaped marks, two of them stopping by the forehead and the other two stretching past the eyes and teeth, going past his chin and joining with the marks on his chest. There were small marks resembling a heart, but with the top and bottom open, extending from the inner corners of his eyes. The mask also featured two long forward-pointing horns, with black strips extending from their center towards the tips.

'So that's the form he used to completely annihilate that Arrancar, Ulquiorra Cifer.' Bazz-B thought to himself. He and the rest of the Sternritter had watched that entire battle. At the time, he scoffed and arrogantly said that he could kill him in five minutes.

Now, he was not so sure.

He was looking at the...thing that smacked Ulquiorra around as if he were nothing, with fear. Although he did a very good job to not show it, he was terrified. And he was not the only one because on either side of him, Bambietta and Candice were shaking.

Without thinking, he just yelled, "Burner Finger 1!" and aimed his finger at Ichigo, right as a narrow beam of fire came from his finger and headed right for Ichigo...except he was no longer there. The young man with orange hair had moved so fast, it was like he teleported. Bazz-B didn't realize what happened until he was too late as he was bitchslapped so hard, you could almost hear his jaw break as he went flying, crashing through trees and going pretty far away.

As for the three, well two ladies as Aura got out of there as fast as she could, manifested spirit weapons and shoving their fear deep down, tried to attack him, an unbelievable amount of reiatsu slammed onto them, making them crash onto the ground with full force before disappearing.

Before they even got to get up, they felt a hand grab their throat tightly and lift them off the ground. Ichigo glared at both of them when he suddenly saw the green haired woman lift up a hand that was holding a javelin, made of electricity, and threw it at his face, point blank range. An explosion erupted, letting go and making the two Femritters fly off and landing pretty hard on the ground.

'Too close. He was definitely going to kill me for sure!' Candice thought as she groggily got up and looked at the damage she caused Ichigo, or lack thereof as the overpowered being in a teen's body was healed within seconds.

"Was that all you got? If that was the full power of a Sternritter, then I have nothing to worry about." Ichigo growled in a dual layered voice that sent chills down the two Femritters (or Bambis, depending on what you want to call them). Bambietta quickly gathered her courage and activated her Vollständig, gaining red wings and a red Halo on top. "Eat this!" She yelled as dozens of balls of reiatsu came flying out of her wings and rained on Ichigo, who just swatted them away from him with his sword at incredible speeds, causing them to erupt all around him. The green haired woman started throwing lance after lance made of electricity at him, but Ichigo was just dodging and swatting them away as if it were the easiest thing in the world. After a couple of minutes, it began to dawn on the female Sternritters that they clearly were outmatched and they were slightly panting and beats of sweats were starting to appear on their face.

'Fuck!' Bambietta thought. 'He's not fighting us, he's toying with us. Just like he did to Haschwalth.' She watched with anger as Ichigo just stood there, watching them, or glaring at them. You really couldn't tell because of his mask. 'Damn him. What the hell is he?!'

'King?'

'Yeah?'

'I think I speak for everybody here when I say: I'm bored.' Shiro whined.

'I'm inclined to agree. You have proven that you are more powerful than them, why are you not finishing them?' Juha Bach asked.

'Just wanna torture them.' Ichigo replied.

'...You are angry, aren't you?' The Reiō asked.

'You're half right. I want them to know exactly who they are fucking with AND because it's so much fun to do.'

'Damn right! Oh, and you know what else would be fun?' Ichigo raised an eyebrow, prompting the spirit to continue. 'That new move we learned.'

'Shiro, we learned a LOT of new moves, be specific.'

'Shadows.' Juha Bach replied for Shiro.

'Shadows? SHADOWS?! How the fuck am I supposed to fight them with-' Ichigo stopped as it suddenly clicked. 'Oh. That could work.' He then dismissed his Resurreccíon form, leaving him half naked with his muscular build and scars on his torso in full display, much to the confusion (and hidden enjoyment and relief) of the Femritters.

'OH MY GOD! HE'S SO FUCKING RIPPED! WHY DID WE HAVE TO BE ENEMIES?!?'

'I WANT TO FUCK HIM, I WANT TO FUCK HIM, I WANT TO FUCK HIM, I WANT TO FUCK HIM, I WANT TO FUCK HIM, I WANT TO FUCK HIM, I WANT TO FUCK HIM!!!'

'Is this gonna happen every time I reveal my body?' Ichigo asked his spirits as he watched the two ladies practically drooled at the sight of him. Much to his chagrin, they didn't answer him. Anyway, he got down on one knee and put his hand and sword next to each other on a shadow. To the others, it seemed as if his hand disappeared into the shadow.

"Getsuga Umbra (Part 1)."

Suddenly, dozens and dozens of figures emerged from the shadows and surrounded Bambietta, Candice and Ichigo.

"Go."

As soon as he said that, the shadows started to run towards the Sternritters, who were so shocked and tired, that they were captured in barely any time at all. Ichigo Sonido'ed to the females and roughly grabbed them by their chins.

"Did that fucking parasite sent you here to kill me?" he asked calmly, getting no response. He sighed irritably. "Look, I don't want to kill you, but you are seriously making me consider breaking my promise to him. I will ask one more time..." His grip on their chins tightened. "Did that fucking parasite sent you here to kill me?"

"Yes."

Ichigo let go of their chins and turned to look at the person who just spoke. They were wearing all white with a hoodie covering their face and head. When Ichigo blinked, the person was no longer there. Instead, they were behind him, having freed Bambietta and Candice from the shadows. They turned around stared at Ichigo.

"I will be taking them back home, unless you are going to stop me." A female voice spoke.

Ichigo folded his arms and narrowed his eyes. He knew that voice from somewhere as it sounded very familiar. "For the last time, I will make this clear, since I know that fucking parasite is watching. I don't care about any of you, and by you I mean the Quincy. I only care about killing the fucker who killed my mother, aka your leader. That being said, I will not hesitate to kill anybody who stands in my way."

The person gestured to the females behind them. "But you didn't kill them."

"But I didn't kill them."

"His Majesty was right." The person grabbed their hoodie and removed it from their head, revealing curly brown hair. "You lied to us and the same people who tried to kill you have corrupted you into working for them."

Ichigo's eyes widened to their limits as he unfolded his arms, a look of pure shock on his face as he could not believe what was in front of him.

Who was in front of him.

"Yuzu."

Yuzu coldly stared at her brother. "At least you remember my face and name."

"Yuzu..."

"Do not worry, Onii-chan." The last word was spit with so much venom that Ichigo for a second could not believe that the woman he was looking at was his sister. "I will free you from their corruption and kill of them. Until then," a shadow appeared behind the three ladies, "Tell Karin and that Shinigami Isshin Kurosaki I said hi." She spoke as they began disappearing in the shadows.

"No, Yuzu!" Ichigo screamed as he approached his sister. Bambietta and Candice honestly didn't know what happened next. One minute they were flying, crashing and rolling onto the ground because of an explosion, and then the next everything was dark until they landed hard on what seemed to be concrete in a dark room.

"Rise from the ground, my children. I do not think I gave you permission to address me while you are on the ground."

As soon as they heard that voice, they immediately juped to their knees, ignoring the pain that they felt as they looked at their leader, who was staring at them with narrowed but expectant eyes and they were surrounded by all of the other Sternritter, excluding Bazz-B since he was on the ground, bowing as well.

"Good. Now, let us hear your report."

Meanwhile, Ichigo glared at his arm as it began to regenerate rapidly. He thought about Yuzu. That person couldn't be his sister. She may have had her face and hair, but that was not possibly her. Yuzu had life in her eyes and was always vibrant. That woman was stoic and her eyes had no life in them.

Two completely different girls.

'Ichigo.' Shiro growled, which surprised Ichigo as his inner Hollow rarely said his name. 'When you see that fucker, make him feel excruciating pain before killing him. Make his death brutal.'

'Yeah. Will do.' He replied.

"That was someone close to you, wasn't it?" The young man didn't flinch when Aura appeared in front of him.

"My sister. I will kill him." Aura just nodded.

"Oh, I'm sure you will. But until then, you owe us some explanations."

"Yeah, I suppose I do." He replied as he turned to look at the person who was hiding his face behind his fan. "It's good to see you again, Hat-n-Clogs."

Kisuke smiled.

"Good to see you too, Ichigo."


A/N - If the fight scenes and my writing style are mediocre, I apologise. I SUCK at writing fight scenes and one day (hopefully soon) my writing style will be on par with the likes of Whackybiscuit, Grimlock Bragi, Teloch and NeoRyu777, just to name a few.
