Ichigo and Grimmjow saw they needed to face against Muramasa together. Ulquiorra found him first, but he acted like he didn't even care. In another stunning reveal, Muramasa was the Spatial Spirit Slayer. He is also revealing that his ultimate goal is to eliminate all guilds.

"You want to eliminate all guilds because you lost your only friend?" Ichigo said as he and Grimmjow were still in pain and forced to stay on the ground with Muramasa standing over them.

"That is what I just said." Muramasa said.

"What friend? What the hell are you talking about?" Grimmjow said.

"I'll gladly tell you." Muramasa said. His mysterious past and all his reasons are about to be revealed.

"Why I Hate Guilds"

….

Flashback

'It happened many years ago.' Muramasa narrated. 'I was a young boy and I had no one. I had no mother or father.' A child version of Muramasa was on his own. He sat against a stone wall in rags with him looking tired and hungry. 'I didn't think I was going to last long until I met Koga.'

"Are you okay?" A young boy with black hair came up to him.

'Koga was the only friend I really made.' Muramasa narrated. 'Over time, we became great friends. He helped me when no one else would.' The two of them grew up over the years and thanks to Koga Muramasa was given the chance to do it.

"Muramasa!" Koga called out as he ran over to him. He gave Muramasa food and the two of them got to talking. "So I've decided to join a wizard guild."

"Really?"Muramasa asked.

"Yeah. I'll be able to make some money and I'm pretty good with magic." Koga said.

"I wish I could use magic." Muramasa said.

"Don't worry about it." Koga said. "My family might not be willing to let you live with us, but I'll make enough money for both of us to live."

'That is what Koga said, but he never came through.' Muramasa narrated. "I've waited for years and years, but Koga never came through. Being in a guild changed him. He came by less and less and he soon changed completely.' Muramasa became a teenager and his life hasn't gotten any better. Soon, Koga came by with his new guild-mates.

"Koga!" Muramasa cheered as he was happy to see his friend again, but Koga didn't look happy to see him. "Koga, it's me."

"Muramasa?" Koga questioned.

"Yes." Muramasa confirmed.

"Oh, I'm starting to remember. You were that peasant I use to hang around." Koga mocked and him with his crew laughed. They all saw Muramasa as a loser and shoved him into trash and left him there to rot.

'I didn't realize it at the time, but I lost my friend.' Muramasa told. That was the beginning of his misery. 'I went over to the guild to see what kind of place and it was horrible. They hardly tolerated each other. It seemed like they saw each other more as coworkers when I was told a guild is a place where you can make friends. That's not how it was at all. Three years ago, I went to the apartment Koga said we would have together, but he kept it all to himself.'

"Koga, what has happened to you?" Muramasa asked.

"What do you mean? What do you even want?" Koga said.

"You've changed. You're not the friend I was knew." Muramasa said. "You said we would have a home together. We're suppose to be friends."

"We're not friends." Koga said and smacked Muramasa to the ground with him stomping and kicking him. "You're nothing, but street trash. I'm far above you now that I have power and money."

"Koga, you can't mean that." Muramasa said.

"I do." Koga said. He reached for his table and pulled out a knife. "You're trash and this is what I do to trash." He held up the knife and was about to kill Muramasa, but something happened. Muramasa screamed and a blast of magic power shot out of him. Thus, the Spatial Spirit Slayer was awakened.

End of Flashback

…

"That was also the day my power as a spirit slayer was awakened and I killed Koga." Muramasa said. "In fact, I was about the same age as you two when it happened. After that, I took down every wizard that worked in a guild I came across. Along the way, I met others to give me the power I have now and we worked our way up by taking down any guild we come across."

"I think I'm starting to get it." Ichigo said. "You hate guilds because your friend became corrupted with money and power and you ended up losing him."

"You would be correct. That's how I see all guilds." Muramasa said. "I didn't just stop there. I've heard things about other guilds and decided to eliminate all of them like how Fairy Tail leaves destruction wherever they go."

"Sadly, that's pretty true. That still doesn't give you the right to do what you're doing." Muramasa frowned upon Ichigo. He walked over to him and brought his foot down on his head.

"Care to explain that?" Muramasa said.

"You can't blame all guilds just for what one did." Ichigo said. "Fairy Tail always tries to help people and we treat each member like family."

"You don't expect me to believe that, do you?" Muramasa said.

"At least it's all starting to make sense." The three of them looked to the entrance and saw Erza with her group.

"Erza! With Natsu, Gray, and Lucy." Ichigo said as he was glad to see all his friends.

"You never really saw a guild before and your first impression of them is formed based on the one your friend joined." Erza said.

"It is. How is that really any of your business?" Muramasa said as he took his foot off Ichigo and walked closer to them.

"You really are messed up in the head." Gray said.

"You're going to judge all guilds just based off one. That guild does sound horrible, but not every guild is like that." Natsu said.

"I actually feel sorry for you, Muramasa." Lucy said. "That still doesn't make what you're doing right. Fairy Tail is a place for friends to become family. From what you're thinking, a guild is a place to work and nothing else."

"They bring nothing, but destruction." Muramasa said. "I'm not even buying that whole family thing of yours."

"Believe what you want, but that is how things are." Erza said. "Bloodline doesn't matter in our guild. Our bonds are formed by something stronger than family bonds. You wouldn't understand because you only had one friend in your entire life and you ended being betrayed by him."

"No." Muramasa said as he began to become furious with them. "A guild is nothing more than a despicable place that corrupts people."

"This insanity has gone on long enough. Return the children you kidnapped at once." Erza said.

"Forget it." Muramasa said. "Your guild is just like everyone else! I won't stop until the entire world is liberated of your filth! I'm stronger than your meaningless bonds!" He was unleashing tons of power that it was becoming overwhelming.

"Who do you think you are?!" Ichigo shouted as he got back up and Muramasa turned to face him. "You're not stronger than our guild. You don't even seem to understand what it really means. Don't you get that our bonds is what gives us our strength. Our bonds are stronger than any family because we aren't bounded by blood." Ichigo was starting to let out all of his power as well.

"That's a lie. No guild has bonds stronger than family." Muramasa said.

"You don't seem to get it. If you think you're above us, you're wrong!" Ichigo screamed as he went to attack.

"And you're dead!" Muramasa shouted as the two of them collided. Both of them flew right out of the church and continued to clash against each other with the others running out to see. Muramasa clubbed him against the face. "How dare you get in my way." Then, Ichigo kicked him in the head.

"I'm gonna stop you, Muramasa." Ichigo claimed. The two of them continued to clash, neither of them giving in as they were fighting for what they believed. "I won't let you do this to Fairy Tail. You hear me?! I won't let you destroy it!" The two kept crashing against each other, but Muramasa got the upper hand and beat Ichigo into one of the church's towers.

"Just die already!" Muramasa shouted as he grabbed Ichigo by the head and dragged him through the stone. Then, he tossed him back up to the roof. Muramasa jumped back up and landed across from him. "Face it, it's over."

"Ichigo, be strong." Erza said as all of them were hoping for him to win.

"Why won't you give up the fight?" Ichigo said. "Don't you get it? You can't beat Fairy Tail."

"Oh yeah? Spatial Spirit's Cosmic Crusher!" Muramasa shot out a spiral blast of cosmic energy and Ichigo got hit with it looking like he was down. "That should do it." Everyone thought he was down, but Ichigo pounded the roof and got back up.

"No way! He can still fight?" Gray said.

"Ichigo, please be careful." Lucy pleaded.

"That's it. I'll completely destroy you!" Muramasa said as he held up both his arms and building up power. Erza felt how much he was building and she became scared for Ichigo.

"So much power! Don't do it! That much power will kill him." Erza said.

"Spirit Slayer Secret Art! Distortion Trident!" Muramasa threw the cosmic power and it formed into a trident. Ichigo didn't have the strength in his legs to move.

"Ichigo!" Natsu shouted as all four of them were terrified, but a miracle happened. Grimmjow climbed the walls and jumped up. He pushed against the side of the attack, but he was injuring himself. Grimmjow was blown back and the trident flew right past Ichigo, barely missing his head, and flew just outside the city and caused a great explosion.

"Grimmjow!" Lucy said as they were all amazed at what he just did, even Muramasa.

"What happened?" Natsu said.

"He used the last of his strength to move the attack just enough for it to miss." Erza said with Grimmjow falling to the ground. Not before he opened his eyes and called out to Ichigo.

"Get him!" Ichigo couldn't believe Grimmjow did that for him. Muramasa was just as surprised that someone actually did that, but there was time for that later. Ichigo dug deep inside himself and unleashed all of his power. Muramasa was too astounded to move.

"Night Spirit's Piercing Heaven….Moon Fang….Lunar Reap…..Reap Slash….Dark Cross!" Ichigo unleashed attack after attack on Muramasa.

"He's amazing!" Lucy said.

"As is his power." Natsu said.

"It's like he can shatter a person's very spirit." Gray said. Ichigo beat down on Muramasa and shoved him right off the roof.

"Spirit Slayer Secret Art! Black Moonless Night!" Ichigo unleashed his ultimate attack and swung it down on Muramasa. Everyone was amazed by his power and even more of what has just happened. Muramasa crashed into the street and he wasn't moving any of his limbs with his chest twitching.

"He did it. He beat Muramasa!" Erza said. Ichigo roared in victory for he has stood at the top as the winner of it all.

…

Orihime: Magnolia is so much fun with all the people and the events that happen.

Ichigo: That's right. We got awesome food, great people, and hold many great events.

Orihime: I can't imagine why anyone would think so badly about this place.

Ichigo: Just you wait. You haven't seen anything yet.

Orihime/Ichigo: Next time: Fantasia

Orihime: Magnolia is the greatest place ever. I hope I'll be here for the rest of my life.
