Previously.
Ichigo was moving calmly through the Soul Society, he had knocked out a Shinigami and used the Letter Y in order to impersonate them and move without being noticed.
As he approached the stairs that would take him to Rukias' Holding Cell, he felt a Spirit Energy that he was hoping to meet again ahead of him, he deactivated his power of the Letter Y and when he reached the top of the stairs he saw the Red Pineapple himself.
"... Hello again, Pineapple." With that Ichigo had successfully pissing off his opponent before the fight even started.
Present.
Renji was beyond pissed. First, Rukia wasn't speaking with him because of what happened to her pet human, he was stuck on guard duty and then he found out that Rukia was going to be executed not long from now. However, now his day was finally brightening up, he can kill the human who stole Rukias' powers and they'll be restored to her. Hopefully, the head-captain will rescind the execution order.
"Finally, you're here ryoka." Renji growled out as he pulled out Zabimaru.
"Hello, Pineapple." Ichigo responded as he drew Juha Bachs' old weapon, a long ornate Dadou sword with a bird shaped cross-guard, holding it at his side as Renji released his own Zanpakuto.
"I'm going to kill you, and then Rukias' powers will return and she won't be executed." Renji growled as he got into a stance with his weapon.
"You can try, you will fail every time." Was the cool response that was given by the Prince of the Quincy's.
"SHUT UP!" Renji yelled as he whipped his sword at Ichigo, who dodged to the side and charged at the red-haired Shinigami.
Renji slashed his weapon to the side to retract it back into its connected form to block an attack from Ichigos Dadou, Renji was pushed back slightly. He was shocked however as he saw that Ichigo had a bored look on his face and had one hand in his pocket, before vanishing, Renji suddenly felt a pain in his back and stumbled forward before falling over.
"I'm as strong as a captain… at the level you are now, you can't hope to beat me." Ichigo gave a bored response from behind Renji, casually flicking off the blood from his blade before sheathing his blade. Renji struggled to get up, due to the large gash on his back, and glared at his opponent.
"I won't kill you… Rukia cares about you, so there's no point in senselessly killing you… get stronger, and hopefully you can save Rukia, goodbye Lieutenant." Ichigo used Hirenkyaku to knock Renji out before setting him up against a wall and moving up the stairs to where Rukia was being held.
*With the captains watching*
The 3 captains that were watching Renji get his ass literally handed to him, were captains Soi Fon, Toshiro Hitsugaya and Kenpachi Zaraki.
Soi Fons' thoughts, 'If he wasn't an enemy, he would make an excellent member of my Division, it's almost a shame that I have to kill him or I would probably ask him to join the Squad. He'd certainly make for a better Lieutenant than that oaf, Marechiyo Ōmaeda.' She then Flash Stepped up to prison cell to make sure that the Ryoka didn't get to the prisoner.
Toshiros' thoughts, 'I wonder how he could have gotten his powers to this level in such a short amount of time, he could have killed Captain Aizen but that's unlikely since they were on other sides of the Soul Society, though with his speed it could be possible. I should go and join Captain Soi Fon at prison cell entrance.' He then Flash Stepped to join his fellow captain.
Kenpachis' thoughts, 'hahaha, this is gunna be a good fight.' With this thought in mind he charges after the, hopefully, strong opponent.
*Back with Ichigo*
'What are we going to do to keep the Shinigami off of us during and after the escape Old Man?' Ichigo questioned his mentor.
"We are going to have to send a message to the Shinigami to show them that we are not to be attacked, the best thing I can suggest to you my heir, is to either let me have temporary control over your body and show them the power of The Almighty, or I teach you how to gain access to a Vollständig to one of the abilities that you already possess to give you an edge in any fights that you may get into with the stronger captains." Juha Bach advised his successor.
A large amount of spirit energy suddenly pressed down on Ichigo, causing him to stop and the conversation that he was having with his teacher to be cut off.
'Well, looks like I'll be fighting a captain now, I wonder who though.' Ichigo thought calmly as he drew his blade.
"I'm surprised that you aren't running, most would run away or at least feel a little strain from having to stand against my spirit energy," Ichigo turned to address the voice, he found a tall captain there with a shark-like grin on his face and his Zanpakuto out of its sheathe, though what confused both Ichigo and Juha, was the fact that there was a little girl with bright pink hair and a happy smile on her face, sitting on the monster of a man's shoulders.
"You look fun, can you please give Ken-chan a good fight?" The little girl said, before she jumped off of the man's shoulder and onto a nearby building, sitting down on the building with the happy smile still etched on her face.
Kenpachi opened his haori and Shinigami robes slightly and showed his scarred chest, "I'll give you a handicap, you cut me, if you can that is." Kenpachi was a little arrogant, and for a good reason, since he was a very strong Shinigami and one of the strongest captains.
"Take this chance, if this Shinigami is so confident in his own abilities, then show him why Quincy's are so much stronger than Shinigami." Juha didn't like the arrogance that the Shinigami captain was currently showing, so why not have his heir knock him down a peg or 2.
"Alright then," Ichigo un-sheathed his blade and got into a stance, "let's go." After those words Ichigo charged forward and slashed Kenpachi across the chest, and to the surprise and excitement of the Lieutenant and the captain, Kenpachi had a long and fairly deep cut on his body, from his left shoulder to his right hip. However, instead of him glaring at him and lashing out, like Ichigo expected, the captain just laughed loudly, like he'd just heard the funniest joke ever.
"hahahahahahahaha, this is great! Finally, a good fight!" Kenpachi then attacked Ichigo with a slash, which was dodged by Ichigo, Kenpachi, who was still laughing loudly, charged after Ichigo and began to slash at him like a mad-man, which he was. Ichigo was dodging and blocking the insane captain, keeping his calm expression, despite the fact that the captain clearly had more than a few screws loose in his head.
Ichigo then leaped backwards, "You're stronger than I first thought, it seems that I'll have to fight you more seriously, Letter I – The Iron – I invoke." A calm, iron coloured spirit energy washed over Ichigo, before all of his skin was seemingly replaced by iron.
He then charged at the captain, slashing at him repeated, the captain however didn't seem to be too concerned with the fact that he was quickly gaining cuts and gashes on his body. Ichigo jumped back to gain some distance and took a look at himself, he wasn't unmarked, though he was doing much better than Kenpachi, he only had a few small cuts on him, which was the downside to using The Iron, as it significantly raises the users the users' defensive capabilities, it lowered their speed slightly, mainly due to the fact that parts of the user us now made of iron. However, Ichigo was drawn out of his observations by very loud laughter.
"HAHAHAHA, this- this is great…" the bleeding captain sounded as though he was talking to himself as he was reaching up for his eye-patch, "finally, I can fight, without holding back." With that said, the crazed captain ripped of his eye-patch, causing the captains spirit energy to skyrocket, encasing him in a massive golden pillar of spirit energy which took the shape of a skull that appeared to be laughing.
Ichigo was shocked at the amount of spirit that was released, it was equal to his own output at the moment. Ichigo stopped using the power of The Iron and decided to get serious and use the power he was most familiar with, "Letter H – The Heat – I Invoke." a flame-like spirit energy engulfed Ichigo as his own spirit energy surged to match what Kenpachi was giving out.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, THIS IS GREAT! COME ON, KUROSAKI!" with that they both charged at each other, "Burner Finger 4." as Ichigo announced his technique, his blade was engulfed in a large amount of flames, making his blade much larger and increasing the amount of damage it can do.
The two fighters clashed and a large explosion of spirit energy erupted from their collision.
After the smoke cleared, the two fighters could be seen at the facing each other, neither of them were moving. When all the smoke dissipated, Kenpachi had a large gash across his chest that was also cauterized. Ichigo, on the other hand, had his opponents blade stabbed through his chest.
Kenpachis' blade broke off in Ichigos chest, causing Ichigo to stumble backwards but didn't fall, given how much he trained with Juha. Kenpachi fell backwards from the number of injuries that he had sustained through the fight, coupled with the fact that it had been years since he had gotten a good fight, which probably helped Ichigo in this fight given that Kenpachi had a lot more experience than he did.
"h-haha, that… that was a good fight." Kenpachi mumbled with a large grin on his face, if was then that his pink-haired lieutenant/daughter figure came along and, somehow, lifted the much larger and heavier man over her shoulder with ease, "Thanks for giving Ken-chan a good fight Berry-san, try not to die so that Ken-chan can fight you again."
"Ummm… Ooooookay." Ichigo said slowly, pulling what was left of his opponents' blade in his chest, Yachiru then vanished with her father-figure/captain, as Ichigo cauterized his own injuries before using The Y to change into the Shinigami he was before fighting Renji, with the fight done Ichigo/Hanataro headed to the place where he was told Rukia was held, thankfully because of The Y he was able to gain the information of where Rukia was.
A/N: Next chapter is going to involve all the other characters that took part in the 'invasion' of Soul Society.
