The Phantom Zone consisted of a large number of asteroid-like rocks suspended in a void of blue and purple. Suddenly, a loud boom resonated across the dimension as a boom tube opened on one of the many asteroids. Ichigo and Chishiki stepped out of the boom tube, and Yin-Yang closed it behind them.
"So, this is the Phantom Zone," Ichigo said. He closed his eyes and sent a wave of reiatsu around him. In the distance, Ichigo could sense a group of people coming toward them.
"Looks like we got some incoming guests," Ichigo said as he summoned Rebellion. Ten people were flying toward him, and Ichigo activated Tsumi no Me, instantly learning their names and sins. The group of people stopped near Ichigo, all of them floating in the air.
"Who are you, stranger?" a man said as he floated forward. Yin-Yang instantly translated the man's words.
"He spoke in Kryptonian," Yin-Yang said.
"Thank you, Yin-Yang," Ichigo replied, turning to the Spokesperson. "Hello, Kryptonian," Ichigo said.
"Are you a New God from New Genesis?" the Spokesperson asked, seeing Ichigo holding Yin-Yang in his hand.
"Not exactly, Jax-Ur," Ichigo replied. Jax-Ur's eyes widened upon hearing his name.
"Attack!" he yelled, and the other Kryptonians flew down toward Ichigo. Ichigo snapped his fingers as Chains of Hell shot out of the ground, binding all the Kryptonians, including Jax-Ur. Ichigo summoned Tsuki no Hansha, which had already grown bigger to accommodate Ichigo's larger physique.
"Shatter, Kyōka Suigetsu," Ichigo said as he entered Shikai. He quickly stabbed each of them and used Yomu Kioku, giving them access to their memories. "Bankai, Kakimasu Genjitsu." Ichigo said as he locked them all in their minds and allowed them to experience an alternative reality where they were forced to escape to their headquarters. Ichigo invaded the headquarters, killing many of the Kryptonians. In the end, Ichigo was killed, leaving the surviving Kryptonian. They took Yin-Yang from him and used her to escape the Phantom Zone. Ichigo watched as all of them attacked Earth, one without any superheroes or supernatural abilities.
"I've seen enough. Shūryō." Ichigo thought as he ended the effects of Kakimasu Genjitsu.
"NO! Send us back!" they yelled, realizing what they saw was a trick. In the distance, Ichigo could see a few monsters flying toward them. They resembled eel-like creatures with two arms, several fins, and a tail. Its upper surface was mostly dark blue, with some dark red and neon green details, while its underbelly was pale gray. It had four small red eyes set above a massive mouth containing ten sharp, wide teeth. Ichigo replaced Kyōka Suigetsu with Rebellion. The monster lunged toward the Kryptonians. Their anger turned to fear. Ichigo appeared in front of them and attacked the creatures, easily slicing them apart. Ichigo turned to the Kryptonians.
"The Phantom Zone was supposed to be a place for you to be punished for your crimes, but it seems like it wasn't enough." Ichigo put on the Gokon Tekkō and pushed the souls out of the Kryptonians before throwing them into Hell.
"What do you plan to do with their bodies?" Chishiki asked.
"It'll be a waste to just kill them," Ichigo said.
"You're planning to turn them into another army?" Chishiki asked.
"Correct," Ichigo said as he sent them to the Trainer. Kyōka appeared in front of them.
"I scanned their memories and found their base," Kyōka said.
"Good. Let's go." Ichigo said. Chishiki held onto Ichigo as they shunpō'ed away. As they traveled, they noticed a large rock castle, floating in the void. Ichigo could see a few Kryptonians flying toward them. They wore similar suits as the other Kryptonians.
"You must be the source of the loud noise we heard earlier," the man said.
"I am, Vor-Kil," Ichigo replied. Vor-Kil's eyes narrowed upon hearing Ichigo say his name.
"Capture them," Vor-Kil commanded. The other Kryptonians flew toward them. Ichigo sighed as the Chains of Hell appeared and bound them. Ichigo used Kakimasu Genjitsu on them. He saw them committing similar actions as the previous group of Kryptonians. Ichigo mentally sighed as he freed them from Kakimasu Genjitsu, throwing their souls into Hell, and then storing their bodies in the Trainer. Ichigo finally invaded the rock castle.
"Invaders!" someone yelled.
"At least I don't need to hunt down everyone." Ichigo thought as more Kryptonians charged toward him. Ichigo snapped his fingers. Chains of Hell shot out and began to trap the incoming Kryptonians. Many of them saw what was happening and tried to dodge the chains, but they underestimated how the chains worked. They easily changed direction, pursuing the Kryptonians. In a few minutes, all of them were captured.
"Is this everyone?" Chishiki asked.
"No. There's a few more left," Ichigo said. Ichigo, Chishiki, and Kyōka walked forward, leaving the Kryptonians bound by the chains. Ichigo arrived to see five more Kryptonians. Behind them was another Kryptonian, trying to free a large creature trapped in black stone. Ichigo recognized one of them.
"That's Zod." Ichigo recognized.
"And the trapped creature is Doomsday," Chishiki warned.
"Lord Zod. I'm almost done freeing him." The Kryptonian trying to free Doomsday said.
"Faora, Nadira, Lar, and Az, stop him." Zod ordered. All four of them flew toward Ichigo.
"Why do they never learn." Ichigo thought as he snapped his fingers. Chains of Hell shot out and bound the other Kryptonians.
"Imbeciles," Zod growled as he flew toward Ichigo. He was much faster compared to the other Kryptonians, but he was no match for Ichigo. With a simple snap, Zod was bounded by the Chains of Hell.
"Va!" Zod yelled.
"Got it!" Va replied as he freed Doomsday. Doomsday let out a loud roar as he was finally free from the black stone. Ichigo was able to get a closer look at him. Doomsday appeared humanoid with gray skin. He stood over five meters (16.4 feet) tall. He had white bony projections around his face which also protected his red eyes. More white bony projections covered his chest, shoulders, elbows, knuckles, knees, and feet. He had a black metal rag around his waist.
Doomsday roared as he charged toward Ichigo, raising one of his fists. When he got within striking range, he swung his fist toward him. Ichigo raised his left hand and caught the fist. The force from the impact shook the entire building. Ichigo used his right hand to snap his fingers. Chains of Hell quickly wrapped around Doomsday and Va, immobilizing them. Doomsday roared in anger as he tried to free himself. All the Kryptonians panicked as a horde of eel-like creatures began to phase through the wall. Ichigo shunpō'ed toward the monsters and began to slice them apart. As Ichigo dealt with the monsters, Kyōka walked to the raging Doomsday and Ichigo cast a sleeping kidō on Doomsday, putting him to sleep. After finishing off the final monster, he walked to all the captured Kryptonians and used Kakimasu Genjitsu on them. While they experienced their altered reality, Ichigo moved toward the sleeping Doomsday.
"Did the comics ever mention how they killed Doomsday?" Ichigo asked.
"They sent Doomsday forward in time till he reached the end of the multiverse," Chishiki said.
"Why did they need to use such an extreme method to kill him?" Ichigo asked.
"It's because of his self-evolution ability. His body constantly evolves to prevent harm, and even death is temporary," Chishiki explained. "Also, his miasma can mutate those who breathe it into Doomsday hybrids."
"I got this," Ichigo said. He first activated Schrift N: The Negate.
"In theory, I should be able to negate his regeneration." Ichigo thought. He made sure Schrift O: The Oversoul was ready to absorb Doomsday's soul.
"May your light shine down upon the battlefield and bring me victory, Excalibur!" Ichigo chanted, activating Schrift W: The War Lord. Rebellion was replaced with Excalibur. "I decree this to the Laws that bind all Worlds! On this day, Doomsday will die by my blade. Neither the Gates of Heaven nor the Gates of Hell shall hide Doomsday from thy blade. Let all creation hear my declaration!" Ichigo and the sleeping Doomsday glowed red. Ichigo charged toward Doomsday. Doomsday woke up from Kyōka's spell, letting out another loud roar as Ichigo slashed into his side. Doomsday's eyes widened as he felt the pain from Ichigo's attack.
"What is this feeling?" he yelled, surprisingly in English. Ichigo continued his attack, slicing through Doomsday's body. Purple vapor began to leak out of his body, but the powers of Schrift N: The Negate negated the effects of the vapor. Ichigo continued his attacks, slicing Doomsday apart. Finally, Ichigo felt Schrift O: The Oversoul activate. Doomsday transformed into purple dust and was absorbed by Ichigo. He could feel the anger radiating from the trapped Doomsday within the Schrift, rampaging inside for a minute before finally being absorbed. Ichigo sealed Schrift N: The Negate, Schrift O: The Oversoul, and Schrift W: The War Lord. He then walked to Kyōka, who was monitoring the bounded Kryptonians.
"How is it going?" Ichigo asked.
"Out of all the Kryptonians, only one of them didn't choose to attack Earth," Kyōka said, pointing out the lone Kryptonian. Ichigo used the Chains of Hell to move the lone Kryptonian away from the rest.
"Yin-Yang."
"Yes?" she replied.
"Would you be interested in combining yourself with a Kryptonian?" Ichigo asked. Yin-Yang was silent for a few moments.
"That would be an interesting idea. Why?" she asked.
"I planned to make these Kryptonians into another private army," he said.
"And you want me to lead them?" she asked.
"Yes," Ichigo replied.
"We should give Yin-Yang the Reach's scarab. She should be able to utilize those resources. Chishiki added.
"Good idea," Ichigo replied. "Yin-Yang, go and scan all the Kryptonians to see which ones suit you."
"Ok," Yin-Yang replied. She floated up in the air and began to scan all the Kryptonians around them. "I found my target." She said. They walked to see a light-skinned Kryptonian with black hair and black eyes, resembling an Asian woman from Earth, wearing a black suit of armor. Ichigo walked to her and stabbed her with Kyōka Suigetsu, using Yomu Kioku on her.
"Her name is Car-Vex," Ichigo identified. He then walked over to Zod and stabbed him with Kyōka Suigetsu, using Yomu Kioku on him. Ichigo used the Gokon Tekkō to push all their souls out of their bodies and threw the souls into Hell. After a few minutes, only three Kryptonians were left.
"What is your plan for these three?" Chishiki asked.
"I planned to modify their memories to make them my trainers for my army of Kryptonians." Ichigo began using Yomu Kioku to modify their memories, removing memories of all the Kryptonians trapped in the Phantom Zone and altering their past experiences. Finally, he implanted memories of saving them from the Phantom Zone, and they all swore loyalty to him for rescuing them. Ichigo used Kakimasu Genjitsu to ensure they experienced everything he did to their memories and sent them all into the Trainer, leaving the final Kryptonian there. Ichigo freed her from Kakimasu Genjitsu, and she looked confused.
"That was an illusion?" She had light skin, blond hair, and blue eyes, resembling a Caucasian woman from Earth. She also wore the same black suit of armor.
"It was," Ichigo replied.
"Why?" she asked.
"I was curious to see if all the Kryptonians trapped in the Phantom Zone would try to conquer the world," Ichigo said. "Both of you didn't try that. I forgot to ask for your name."
"I am Ra-Ya (1) ," she replied. She looked around to see she was the only Kryptonian there. "So, I'm the only one who passed your test?" She asked.
"You were," Ichigo replied. "I will give you a choice." Ichigo began. "The first is that I will send you down to Earth and meet up with Kal-El and Kara Zor-El."
"You know where Kal-El is?" Ra-Ya asked.
"I do," Ichigo replied. "Do you wish to live with him?"
"I do," she replied. Ichigo summoned a contract and placed it in front of her. After reading it, she signed the contract, preventing her from mentioning anything she saw relating to Ichigo, his powers, or anyone associated with him. After a few moments of thinking, she signed the contract. Ichigo sealed Kyōka Suigetsu and sent Tsuki no Hansha back to his mindscape. Chishiki also entered his mindscape. Ichigo once again had the Jigoku no Yoroi on.
"Yin-Yang, can you open a boom tube to the Justice League Headquarters?" Ichigo asked.
"Yes, Master," she replied. A black and white boom tube opened in front of them. Ichigo and Ra-Ya entered the boom tube.
Scene Change: Outer Space: Watchtower: Conference Room
A boom tube opened in an empty conference room. As Ichigo and Ra-Ya stepped out of the boom tube, an alarm blared, and red lights began flashing.
"That doesn't sound good," Ra-Ya said in Kryptonian.
"It's not," Ichigo replied. Suddenly, the doors opened, and Superman flew in, still wrapped in bandages from the earlier fight.
"Kal-El!" Ra-Ya shouted as she ran over to Superman. "What happened? Why are you injured?" Superman looked confused.
"If you couldn't tell, she is a Kryptonian," Ichigo replied in English. More Justice League members entered the room. Ra-Ya ignored them and turned to Ichigo with a confused look.
"He doesn't know Kryptonian," Ichigo said in Kryptonian, turning to Superman. "She doesn't know English."
"Where did you find her?" Superman asked.
"In the Phantom Zone," Ichigo replied.
"You entered the Phantom Zone?" Superman asked.
"I did," Ichigo replied. "I judged the prisoners in the Phantom Zone. She was the only innocent one who wouldn't try to attack Earth if she was free from the Phantom Zone." Superman glared at him.
"So, you freed her and dropped her off here," Superman asked.
"She wanted to be here. From what I gathered, she worked with your father on Krypton."
"What's going on?" Supergirl asked as she floated in. "Aunt Ra-Ya!" Supergirl yelled in Kryptonian as she flew down and hugged her.
"Well, I'll leave this to you," Ichigo said.
"Yin-Yang, open a boom tube back to the base," Ichigo said.
"Yes, Master." Another boom tube opened, and Ichigo quickly stepped inside. The boom tube closed behind him.
Scene Change: War World
Ichigo stepped out of the boom tube and returned to the War World Treasury. He walked over to the pedestal with the black and white scarab.
"Are you ready, Yin-Yang?" Ichigo asked.
"I am," she replied. Ichigo looked at the pedestal and removed the barrier. The scarab didn't react. Ichigo pointed Yin-Yang at the scarab, and she fired a beam of black and white energy at it. The scarab's limbs extended and resisted for a moment but were soon pulled toward Yin-Yang and absorbed by her. Yin-Yang stopped glowing.
"How are you?" Ichigo asked.
"Good. I was able to successfully absorb the scarab, all its information from the Reach, and produce more scarabs," Yin-Yang reported.
"Good," Ichigo said. He pulled out the Trainer and summoned Car-Vex's soulless body, placing it on the ground. "It's your turn," Ichigo said. Yin-Yang glowed black and white, floated out of his hand, and landed on Car-Vex's chest. Black and white energy spiraled around them, forming a cocoon of energy. After a few minutes, the energy dissipated, revealing a naked Car-Vex. Yin-Yang was no longer there. The woman opened her eyes.
"It worked," Yin-Yang said. She slowly stood up. Ichigo could see Yin-Yang is now 182 cm (6 feet) tall.
"Are you okay?" Ichigo asked.
"I am," Yin-Yang said as she took a few steps. "Still getting used to this body," she admitted.
"This might help," Ichigo said as he looked into Yin-Yang's eyes. He used Legilimency to give Yin-Yang all of Car-Vex's memories. After finishing the process, Yin-Yang closed her eyes, and in the process, clothing began to form around her. She was now dressed in a black sports bra with a silver corset top that had black circuits engraved on it. She had a black choker with silver circuits engraved on it around her throat. She wore a black sleeveless jacket, black sleeves from the middle of her bicep to the middle of her forearm, black gloves with black cuffs with more silver circuit engraving, matching black pants with a black belt with silver circuit engraving, and black leather combat boots with a black ankle strap with silver circuits on each boot (2).
"Well, how do I look?" Yin-Yang asked.
"You look good," Ichigo said.
"Thank you," Yin-Yang replied. "But I'm not done." She said. All the black bands with silver circuits glowed as they began to merge with Yin-Yang's clothes. In a few moments, she was encased in a black and silver metallic suit of armor. Her helmet was black with a silver mask with circuits.
"This is my combat form," she said, raising her hands as they transformed into different weapons.
"Looks good," Ichigo said.
"Thank you." Yin-Yang transformed back to her regular form.
"Were you able to create the new scarabs?" Ichigo asked.
"Right now, I am currently working on creating a basic scarab with all the basic information in it," she said.
"Very well," Ichigo said. "I believe it's time we go to Apokolips." Ichigo summoned the scroll and found Darkseid's name on the list. "Looks like Lex Luthor is also on Apokolips," Ichigo said, noticing that Darkseid's name and Lex Luthor's name were next to each other. "We are going to invade a world with a large number of enemy combatants," Ichigo said as the majority of his spirits appeared out of his mindscape. "I'm going to need all of you to deal with the small fries while I hunt down those on my list. If you discover someone on my list, throw the Chain of Hell at them." Ichigo handed them the Chains of Hell. "It will send them directly into Hell, and I will personally deal with them when everything is over." Ichigo decided. Everyone nodded their heads and returned to Ichigo's mindscape. "Yin-Yang, once we get to Apokolips, I'm going to send you into my mindscape."
"Why?" she asked.
"Metron might discover your existence and decide to capture you because you're a fusion of a Motherbox and Fatherbox in a human body."
"That doesn't sound good," Yin-Yang said. Ichigo nodded his head.
"Let's go," Ichigo said. Yin-Yang raised her hands as a black and white boom tube opened in front of them. Ichigo charged in, and Yin-Yang followed behind him.
Scene Change: Apokolips
Ichigo and Yin-Yang ran out of the boom tube to see a barren wasteland, with black metal buildings, fire pits, and rivers of lava. Yin-Yang closed the boom tube behind them. Suddenly, an alarm began to go off. Ichigo quickly sent Yin-Yang back to his mindscape as he spotted a horde of large muscular, winged humanoids in golden armor flying toward them.
"Parademons" Chishiki identified.
"Intruder!" The Parademons yelled in Apokolipian. Ichigo jumped up and slashed the Parademons in half with Rebellion. He shunpō'ed toward the large castle in front of him. More Parademons flew toward him, holding large silver staffs. They pointed them at Ichigo and began to fire energy blasts at him. Ichigo didn't bother dodging the attack; he let them bounce off his armor. Quickly, he sliced them apart with Rebellion. Ichigo continued his rampage toward the large castle. Suddenly, something leaped out of the castle toward Ichigo. He could see a stocky, brutish being in a black tunic with prominent green accents falling toward him.
"That's Kalibak, one of Darkseid's sons, and he's on our list," Chishiki said.
"Got it," Ichigo said as he pointed Rebellion, coated with hellfire, at the incoming New God. Ichigo swung Rebellion, sending a crescent-shaped wave of hellfire toward Kalibak. His eyes widened as he crossed his arms, attempting to block the hellfire. To his horror, the hellfire burned through his arm and bisected him in half. Kalibak's bisected body landed near Ichigo. Ichigo could sense Kalibak's soul being sent to Hell, so he sent the body into his mindscape. Using Rebellion, Ichigo sliced down the door to the palace. Suddenly, Ichigo was bombarded by energy blasts. Ignoring the blasts, he saw another group of Parademons there. Ichigo charged toward them and bisected them. Ichigo could hear clapping behind him. He turned to see an armored warrior entering from the side, carrying a large battle axe.
"That is Steppenwolf, an Apokolipian general and a member of Darkseid's Elite," Chishiki said.
"Got it," Ichigo replied.
"Large warrior, fight me!" Steppenwolf yelled as he charged toward Ichigo. Ichigo swung down with Rebellion. Steppenwolf swung his axe up, trying to block the attack. Rebellion began to bisect Steppenwolf's battle axe. His eyes widened as he jumped back and pulled his battle axe away from Rebellion. Ichigo turned to the retreated Steppenwolf, and Steppenwolf saw that the tip of the metal shaft had been cut by Rebellion.
"Come on, Steppenwolf," Ichigo said, getting his attention. "If Darkseid's Elite is this weak, I wonder how weak Darkseid is."
"YOU DARE!" Steppenwolf yelled. His eyes glowed with anger as he recklessly charged toward Ichigo. He swung his battle axe at Ichigo's side. Ichigo tilted Rebellion to the side, blocking Steppenwolf's attack. The force of the axe caused Steppenwolf's damaged battle axe to shatter. His eyes widened in disbelief. Before he could react, Ichigo raised Rebellion and slashed down, bisecting him.
"Another one down." Ichigo thought.
"Father!" Someone yelled. Ichigo turned to see a young woman entering the room. She was noticeably tall, attractive, and fair-skinned with straight waist-length black hair, blue eyes, and broad shoulders. She had a slender and athletic frame with a well-toned yet muscular build. She wore a silver diadem with a red omega on her forehead, a strapless silver bustier with a red omega symbol above her chest area, and silver briefs with a pteruge-like flap from the middle of her bustier to her lower waist. Additionally, she wore a pair of silver boots with red leather straps, which went up to her knees and wrapped around the back of her legs.
She turned to Ichigo. "How dare you!" She yelled as she drew her sword and charged toward him.
"Is this a clone of Wonder Woman?" Ichigo thought.
"I'm not sure. I'm unable to find any mention of a Wonder Woman clone in Apokolips." Ichigo calmly blocked her attacks with Rebellion. He punched the woman in the face with his left hand, sending her flying. She slammed through the wall, landing outside of the castle. Ichigo shunpō'ed toward her and bound her in the Chains of Hell.
"Let me GO!" She yelled as she tried to break free from the chains. Ichigo sent her into Hell. More Parademons appeared out of nowhere and began to attack him.
"This is getting annoying." Ichigo thought as Zangetsu, Yhwach, and Vermillion appeared.
"We'll take care of the cannon fodder," Zangetsu said as his Zangetsu's Shikai appeared in his hand.
"That fight from earlier wasn't even worth a warm-up." Vermillion added as Battle Booster appeared on her hands. Yhwach silently summoned his bow.
"Thank you," Ichigo replied. He sent the dead Steppenwolf into his mindscape, then shunpō'ed past the Parademons. As Ichigo moved along the hallway, a yellow boom tube appeared in front of him. Six women stepped out of the boom tube.
"From left to right, we have Lashina, Bernadeth, Bloody Mary, Gilotina, Mad Harriet, Stompa. They are members of the Female Furies." Chishiki identified.
"All of you, capture the intruder!" Lashina ordered.
"Yes!" They replied. Mad Harriet and Gilotina lunged toward Ichigo. Gilotina's arms glowed with energy as she began to attack Ichigo with clops. Ichigo blocked her attacks with Rebellion.
"Why isn't your sword chopped?" Gilotina asked.
"How about this!" Mad Harriet yelled as she jumped on Ichigo's face, covering his eyesight. She attacked Ichigo with her sharp claws. Ichigo grabbed Mad Harriet's arm and swung her at Gilotina. Gilotina instinctively blocked the incoming attack with a chop, chopping Mad Harriet in half.
"AHAHAHAHA!" Mad Harriet screamed in pain as Ichigo dropped her arm to the ground. Gilotina froze in shock. Bloody Mary flew toward Ichigo as Lashina flicked her whip at Gilotina, hitting her on the butt.
"OW!" She yelled in pain.
"Save it for later. We still need to capture him," Lashina said as she whipped Gilotina again.
"Ow! I got it!" She replied. Bloody Mary summoned daggers made of blood and attacked Ichigo. Ichigo easily ignored her attacks and punched her in the face, sending her flying. Lashina flicked her whip at Bloody Mary and pulled her back down. Ichigo shunpō'ed toward them, ready to attack with Rebellion.
"NO!" Stompa yelled as she stomped the ground, shaking the entire floor. Ichigo was unaffected by the attacks. Everyone else was trying to recover from Stompa's assault. Ichigo snapped his fingers as the Chains of Hell captured all of them, sending them straight into Hell. Suddenly, another boom tube opened, and an elderly woman stepped out of the boom tube. She wore a dark blue suit beneath golden armor, a red cape, and a headdress that framed her face and held her hair back, with the Omega symbol above her forehead.
"That is Granny Goodness; she is also one of Darkseid's Elite and Leader of the Female Furries." Chishiki identified.
"I shouldn't be surprised that my girls failed to injure you," Granny Goodness said. "After all, you killed both Kalibak and Steppenwolf." She said as a large metallic mace appeared in her hands. She charged toward Ichigo, swinging her mace at him. Ichigo raised Rebellion and blocked her attacks.
"Strange, his weapon appears to be inferior to our weapons but able to damage our weapons." Grandma Goodness thought.
"Are you one of those bastards from Genesis?" She asked. Ichigo replied by stabbing Rebellion toward her. Granny Goodness quickly jumped back and swung her club at Rebellion, trying to shatter it. Her attack failed to do any damage to Ichigo's sword. Ichigo took a step toward her and swung Rebellion upwards. Granny Goodness took a step back, narrowly avoiding Rebellion. Ichigo suddenly changed his grip and swung down at her. Her eyes widened as she raised her metallic mace over her head. Rebellion crashed down on her mace, breaking it in two. Ichigo continued his downward swing, slicing through Granny Goodness.
"AHAHAH!" She screamed in pain. Ichigo used Legilimency on Granny Goodness, finding out where Darkseid was. After he left her mind, he pointed Rebellion at her and fired a stream of hellfire at her. She continued to scream in pain as the hellfire devoured her. A few moments later, the flames were extinguished, and her soul was sent to Hell.
"Another one down," Ichigo thought as he marched up the stairs. More Parademons rushed toward him. Suddenly, a barrage of whitish-blue arrows flew past Ichigo and hit the Parademons. Ichigo glanced back to see Zangetsu, Yhwach, and Vermillion. Ichigo noticed someone bound in the Chains of Hell being carried over the shoulder by Zangetsu. "About time you got here."
"These things never end," Vermillion said as she charged at the incoming Parademons.
"What's up with the prisoner?" Ichigo thought. Zangetsu threw the bound person by Ichigo's feet.
"He is Grayven, another of Darkseid's Elites." Chishiki identified. Zangetsu groaned as Yhwach chuckled.
"When we were dealing with the hordes of Parademons, he charged at us, proclaiming himself as one of Darkseid's Elites," Yhwach said as he fired more arrows at the incoming Parademons.
"He charged at us, and it didn't take long for me to take him down," Zangetsu said.
"Indeed," Yhwach said. Ichigo threw him into Hell.
"I'm going on ahead," Ichigo said as he shunpō'ed down the corridor. It didn't take long before Ichigo spotted a hooded humanoid figure.
"All those damned imbeciles making me leave my precious lab to deal with a fool," the figure grumbled.
"That's Hesaad, Darkseid's Chief Scientist, Torturer, and one of his Elites," Chishiki informed him.
"Got it," Ichigo replied. Ichigo shunpō'ed toward him and swung Rebellion. Hesaad didn't realize what happened until his head dropped to the ground. His body quickly followed behind it. Ichigo sent his body into his mindscape.
"Darkseid is left," Chishiki said.
"I know," Ichigo replied as Rebellion returned to his mindscape. Zangetsu, Yhwach, and Vermillion returned to his side, "Vermillion, get ready for battle."
"Got it!" She replied as they all returned to Ichigo's mindscape. Ichigo activated Schrift B: The Battle Booster and Schrift H: The Hakaimono. Battle Booster replaced Jigoku no Yoroi's gauntlet. A few moments later, Ichigo arrived at the throne room. Ichigo raised his right foot and kicked down the door, breaking it off the hinges. Ichigo calmly entered the throne room. He could see Darkseid sitting on his throne.
"Hello Darkseid," Ichigo said. Darkseid stood up from his throne.
"To think my subjects were too weak to deal with you," Darkseid complained as he walked toward Ichigo. Darkseid's body grew until he matched Ichigo's height. Darkseid's eyes glowed red. "I will give you one chance, submit to me or die," Ichigo replied by slamming his head into Darkseid's head, stunning him. Ichigo continued his attack and punched Darkseid's face, forcing him back a step. Ichigo took a step forward and punched him on the other side of his face, once again forcing back a step. Ichigo went in for another punch when suddenly Darkseid caught Ichigo's punch. He turned to Ichigo, his eyes glowed red. "DIE!" He yelled as he fired his Omega Beam, a pair of red beams, from his eyes. Suddenly Ichigo was surrounded by a silver aura. The Omega Beam hit Ichigo's silver aura.
"What is this aura?" Darkseid thought as he continued to use his Omega Beam. Ichigo's Destructive Aura continued to destroy Darkseid's Omega Beam. As this stalemate continued, Ichigo's Destructive Aura began to destroy Darkseid's hand.
"GAH!" He screamed in pain as he ended his attack and let go of Ichigo's hand. He turned to see parts of his right palm had been destroyed. He glared at Ichigo, only to see Ichigo in front of him and punch him in the gut.
"Come on Darkseid. Is this all you got?" Ichigo asked. Darkseid's eyes glowed red with anger.
"SILENCE!" He yelled as he stomped his foot down, sending a powerful wave of red energy around, causing the castle to collapse on itself. Ichigo's Destructive Aura destroyed all the falling rubble, keeping him safe. As this happened, Darkseid's body began to regenerate, recovering from all Ichigo's attacks. The dust settled to see Ichigo and Darkseid were fine, surrounded by rubble.
"Now this is more like it," Ichigo said as he shunpō'ed toward Darkseid, with his right fist raised. Darkseid met his fist head-on with his own punch. The two fists collided with each other, sending shockwaves all around them, destroying the nearby surroundings. Darkseid gritted his teeth as he felt pain in his right hand. Ichigo quickly used his left hand to attack. Darkseid quickly replied with his own left punch. The punch once again caused Darkseid to feel pain.
Ichigo used a combination of Counter Explosive Punches, Internal Destruction-infused punches, and External Destruction-infused punches to deal massive damage to Darkseid.
"Looks like Darkseid is directing all his focus on trying to block my attacks and trying to recover from the attacks." Ichigo thought.
"5 Counter Internal Destruction Explosive Kick!" Ichigo yelled as he suddenly used his right leg to kick Darkseid's upper leg, instantly destroying the internal bones and muscles.
"GAH!" Darkseid yelled as he fell to his right side. Ichigo stomped on Darkseid's other upper leg and his biceps by using a 3 Counter Internal Destruction Explosive Kick.
"I WILL NOT BE STOPPED BY THIS!" Darkseid yelled as he fired his Omega Beams at Ichigo again. The beams were much larger and stronger than before. Ichigo's Destructive Aura was able to reduce the power of the beam, but it was able to hit him in the chest.
"5 Counter Explosive Kick!" Ichigo shouted as he stomped on Darkseid's chest.
"GAH!" He yelled in pain, stopping his attack. Kyōka appeared beside Ichigo. She summoned Kyōka Suigetsu, already in Shikai, and stabbed it in his head, using Yomu Kioku on him. She quickly pulled her blade out.
"Were you able to get anything important from him?" Ichigo asked.
"First, make sure he suffers in Hell till the end of time," Kyōka said.
"Of course," Ichigo said as he summoned his Gokon Tekkō. He pulled Darkseid's soul and threw it into Hell. After that, Ichigo sent Darkseid's body into his mindscape. "Where did Darkseid hide Lex Luthor?" Ichigo asked.
"When we began our attack, Darkseid sent Lex Luthor to Hesadd's lab," Kyōka said.
"Let's head there," Ichigo said.
"Are there any prisoners here?" Ichigo asked. They shunpō'ed out of the destroyed palace grounds. They soon arrived at a large black metallic tower.
"This is Hesaad's lab, where he does all his experiments." Ichigo placed his palm on the door, using his External Destruction to destroy it. Ichigo and Kyōka entered the lab. They could see all kinds of alien creatures in the lab. They ignored all the creatures as they raced up the tower. They soon found a locked room. Ichigo used his External Destruction to destroy the door. They walked in to see Lex Luthor, pacing in the room. He turned to them.
"About time someone checked on me," Luthor said as he walked up to them. "Well… is Darkseid ready to continue our discussion?"
"The situation has changed," Ichigo answered in English.
"How?" Lex Luthor asked. Suddenly Kyōka stabbed Lex Luthor in the skull with her blade, activating Yomu Kioku. Ichigo used Gokon Tekkō to remove Lex Luthor's soul and threw him into hell.
"Did you learn anything from him?" Ichigo asked.
"Lex Luthor decided to have a child," Kyōka said.
"Really?" Ichigo asked.
"He did. Her name is Alexandria Lena Luther with Erica Alexandra del Portenza being her mother. When Alexandria was born, her mother was drugged by Lex to keep her asleep. Mercy Graves, his personal bodyguard, was tasked with raising her." Kyōka reported.
"Why does this seem strange to you?" Ichigo asked.
"Looking at his memories, he never thought about it until after he battled the Justice League with Brainiac," Kyōka said.
"Wait…" Ichigo summoned the scroll and looked through the remaining names on the list. "Brainiac is still on this list."
"That means… he's still alive," Kyōka said.
"I believe that Brainiac manipulated all of this to live as a human," Ichigo theorized.
"Why?" Kyōka asked.
"Because Brainiac wanted to understand the human will," Ichigo said. "We'll hunt them down next," Ichigo said. They walked back down the stairs and returned to the entrance to the tower. Ichigo summoned Yin-Yang beside him.
"Yin-Yang, can you see if you can communicate with these creatures? If they have any intelligence left, see if we can fix the damage Hasaad did to them."
"And if they don't?" Yin-Yang asked.
"Then we will try our best to harmlessly kill them," Ichigo said.
"I will do my best." She replied. Yin-Yang slowly went to the first creature. It was a large white creature with red blisters all over its body. "I got one." She said. Ichigo and Kyōka walked over to the creature. Yin-Yang raised her hands up near the creature. "I want to help restore the damage to you." She said. The white creature slowly approached Yin-Yang. She placed her hands on the creature. Black and white circuit lines began to appear on Yin-Yang's body and flow toward the white creature. These lines traveled all over the creature's body. Slowly the white creature's body began to shrink. A few moments later, there was a young Asian girl with white hair in the cage.
"I-I'm normal." She said as she began to cry. Ichigo walked over and destroyed the cage. Yin-Yang hugged the girl and comforted her. A few moments later, she fell asleep in Yin-Yang's arms. Ichigo conjured a bed with casters. Yin-Yang placed her on the bed. They continued to go down the line. The next few creatures tried to attack Yin-Yang like a mindless beast without any intelligence. Ichigo used External Destruction on them, mercifully destroying them in an instant. Eventually, they arrived at a faceless cyan humanoid figure. The figure was very muscular and stood about 200 cm (6.56 feet) tall.
"I found another one," Yin-Yang said as she slowly approached the figure. The cyan figure actually extended its hands out, as if knowing what Yin-Yang was trying to do. Yin-Yang held the figure's large hands. Black and white circuit lines appeared on Yin-Yang's body and flowed toward the cyan creature. Slowly the cyan creature's body began to deflate. A few moments later, Yin-Yang was holding the hands of a young girl. She has dark tan skin, purple eyes, and long black hair that covers the right side of her face.
"That worked." She said in accented English.
"Looks like you recovered much faster compared to the other girl," Ichigo said in English.
"You speak English!" She said in amazement.
"I do," Ichigo said.
"She's perfectly fine," Yin-Yang said. "What's your name?"
"I'm Kamala Khan (3)," she introduced.
"I assume you are from Earth?" Ichigo asked.
"I am. I'm from Jersey City in New Jersey," Kamala said.
"So, Kamala, do you want to return home?" Ichigo asked. Kamala let out a sad sigh.
"I don't have a home to go to." She admitted.
"Why?" Ichigo asked.
"Unlike the other kids, I activated my powers before I was smuggled out of Earth," Kamala began. "I was looking at one of my favorite models, Carol Danvers, wishing to look like her when my body began to transform, resembling her. When I noticed the transformation, in my shock, I transformed back. Luckily no one heard my panic. Later on, I began to experiment with my powers. One day, my father unexpectedly entered my room to see me in the middle of one of my experiments. His surprised yelling alerted my mother. She came to my room, and my father explained to her what he witnessed. They both interrogated me, asking me when I discovered my powers, who knew about my powers, and the limits of my powers. I answered their questions as best as I could. In the end, my father warned me not to use my powers, not to tell anyone what happened here, and not to tell anyone about my powers. In my scared state, I listened to him. A week later, as I was walking home from school, I was kidnapped by my parents and sold to a meta-human trafficker." Yin-Yang's fists tightened as her body began to shake.
"Yin-Yang, calm down. You are scaring her," Ichigo calmly said. Yin-Yang looked at Kamala, who looked nervous.
"Sorry about that," she said. She looked at Ichigo.
"What was that?" She asked. "I wanted to hit something really bad."
"That was anger," Ichigo said. He looked at Kamala.
"Please continue," Ichigo said.
"When I saw what was happening, I used my power to transform into a cat and tried to escape. The human trafficker and his goons quickly captured me. I watched as the human trafficker killed them in front of me before knocking me unconscious," Kamala said.
"That's when you got trafficked to Apokolips," Ichigo asked.
"I guess," Kamala replied. "I woke up in the cage staring at the hooded man. He used a rectangular box to allow me to understand his words. He extracted my blood and began to torture me." Yin-Yang hugged Kamala. "As he tortured me, my conscious mind wanted the pain to stop so my subconscious mind created a powerful figure, able to adapt to the torture."
"The faceless humanoid creature," Ichigo asked.
"Correct," she replied.
"Since you don't have a home to return to… do you wish to come with us?" Ichigo asked.
"Really?" Kamala asked.
"You can," Ichigo replied as he walked over to her. "For now, you should rest," Ichigo said as he placed a low-powered sleeping spell on her.
"Ok." She weakly replied as she fell asleep. Yin-Yang walked over and placed her on the bed, beside the other sleeping girl. They continued to go down the line of creatures, mercifully killing those who lost their reason. They eventually see a humanoid woman in a cage. She was olive-skinned with bright blue markings all over her body. Her face has sharp facial features, high cheekbones, pale blue eyes, and a wide grin. She had white hair, which was slightly curly and reached to her waist. She wore a skintight, black tank top that revealed her midriff, with aquamarine hemming in a pattern resembling a low neckline around the edges. Around her waist, she wore a short sarong-like cloth fastened with a ring with the end of the cloth hanging to her front. On her forearms were black, short, fingerless, formal gloves while on her ankles and feet, she wore what resembled black yoga socks. She also wore an aquamarine choker around her neck. Her cage was larger than the other creatures.
"I'm not sure if you're supposed to be here." She whispered.
"Darkseid and Hasaad are dead." Ichigo said. Her eyes widened.
"Really?" She asked, using her regular voice.
"I am. I killed them all." Ichigo replied.
"I see… I'm Chian." She introduced.
"I'm Ichigo." He said. "Are you from Earth?" He asked.
"I am." She replied. "I was a member of a Purist group who allied with Darkseid. I was given to Darkseid to receive their assistance when they invaded Earth." She began.
"What happened to you while you were in their custody?" Ichigo asked.
"I was given to Hasaad. He extracted a lot of my blood for him to use my Atlantean genes to create an aquatic version of the Parademons."
"Did he succeed?" Ichigo asked.
"He created a Parademon that can shift from their regular form into an aquatic form." She answered. "After that, Hasaad began to perform experiments to 'unlock my latent potential.' It was a painful process that caused my light tan skin to darken, my brown eyes to turn light blue, my black hair to turn white, and these blue markings to appear. I heard that Hasaad planned to give me to Grandy Goodness to become another member of the Female Furies."
"Good thing that she's also dead," Ichigo said.
"We should check her headquarters after," Kyōka said.
"Good idea," Ichigo replied.
"So, Chian, what do you want to do now?" Ichigo asked.
"Well, leave this place." She replied.
"And go back to Earth?" Ichigo asked.
"Maybe? Maybe somewhere else." She said.
"You fear prosecution," Ichigo asked.
"I do." She said. "Atlantean laws do not tolerate traitors. I'll likely be executed for being a traitor."
"You could join us." Ichigo proposed.
"Really?" She asked.
"You were young and were seduced by Orm's looks and charisma," Ichigo said.
"I was," she admitted.
"Which is why I don't blame you," Ichigo said.
"In that case, why should I trust you? You could be trying to do the same thing to me," she questioned.
"Good," Ichigo nodded his head. "You are learning from your mistakes." Ichigo summoned a contract and handed it to her. She carefully took the contract.
"This is a soul contract," she realized. "Whoever breaks the contract will be sent to Hell." She thought as she read the contract. "The terms are very reasonable."
"I agree to the terms," she said as she signed the contract. Ichigo nodded his head as he took the contract.
"I'm going to send you to a pocket dimension where you'll meet with others who have also decided to relocate to my universe," Ichigo explained.
"Ok," Chian replied. Ichigo used Haōgan to send her into Haō Zaimushō. By this time, the two girls woke up.
"It wasn't a dream," the Asian girl said.
"It wasn't," Kamala replied.
"What's your name?" Yin-Yang asked.
"I'm Holly Denton (4)," she introduced.
"Kamala, Holly," Ichigo called. The girls looked at Ichigo. He quickly explained to them their situation and gave them their options. Unsurprisingly, they both chose to sign the contract. Ichigo sent them to Haō Zaimushō. Ichigo summoned Chishiki and had her copy all the data Hasaad had stored. After that, they all shunpō'ed to Granny Goodness's Orphanage. They entered the place to see it was mostly empty.
"Why is this place mostly empty?" Yin-Yang asked.
"I can answer that," Chishiki interjected. "Most of the residents that were here had been transformed into Parademons," Chishiki said.
"Make sure all of them suffer for eternity in Hell," she said.
"Of course," Ichigo replied. They soon arrived at the lowest level of the Orphanage.
"Looks like I wasn't forgotten," someone said. They arrived to see a woman chained to the wall. She is a seductive young woman with red-orange hair and bright green eyes with noticeable freckles underneath, and she also has a curvaceous yet muscular build. She wore gray coveralls. "Who are you?" She asked.
"My name is Ichigo," he introduced. "And you are?"
"I'm Knockout," she replied.
"Are you an ally of Darkseid?" He asked.
"I was," she admitted. "When Darkseid died, I tried to escape Apokolips. Granny Goodness discovered me, captured me, and threw me in here." She said.
"Darkseid, Granny Goodness, and the Female Furies are dead," Ichigo said.
"Oh," Knockout said. "I hope Bloody Mary had a painless death."
"Why?" Ichigo asked.
"Bloody Mary was the latest addition to the team. She was originally from Earth before being kidnapped and had to endure a 'special' time with Granny Goodness." She admitted.
"Might as well do it here." Ichigo thought. He snapped his fingers as a portal to Hell opened in front of them. A bounded Bloody Mary rose out of the portal. She was pale white with blood-red hair and eyes. She wore a matching blood-red strapless one-piece swimsuit, a cape, elbow-length gloves, and knee-high heel boots. She looked confused.
"Where am I?" She asked. She noticed the captured Knockout.
"Bloody Mary. You are safe now," Ichigo said.
"What do you mean? I'm still bounded by these chains." Ichigo waved his hand causing the chains to disappear.
"I'm here to talk with you," he said as he activated the Tsumi no Me.
"About what?" She asked.
"Darkseid and Granny Goodness are dead," Ichigo began. "From what I can see, I know you never enjoyed killing or torturing anyone." Ichigo turned to Knockout. "As for you, when you killed someone, you didn't prolong their suffering. Not only that, but you also got tired of the endless war, so you patiently waited till an opportunity arose to escape.
"Is that why you tried to escape during the Civil War?" Bloody Mary asked.
"Yep," Knockout replied.
"So now that they're all dead, what do you two want to do?" Ichigo asked.
"I don't know," Knockout replied. She turned to Bloody Mary. "What about you?"
"I don't know." Bloody Mary replied.
"What were you doing on Earth before being kidnapped?" Ichigo asked. Bloody Mary sighed.
"I was a prostitute, trying to survive." She admitted.
"If both of you don't have a place to go to, you could come with us," Yin-Yang offered
"Go where?" Knockout asked.
"I was sent to this universe to do a few things. I am also offering an opportunity to former villains to start over." Ichigo presented both of them with a contract. Ichigo destroyed the chains holding Knockout up. They both took the contracts and read them over. After a moment, they signed the contract.
"Let me get some armor," Knockout said as she broke out of her cell. They walked down another hallway. They soon arrived in an armory. Ichigo stood outside the armory as Knockout and Bloody Mary entered. A few minutes later, Knockout and Bloody Mary stepped out. Knockout wore dark green battle armor with black trimmings. Around her neck is a neck guard with the same colors as her armor. Her large shoulder pads, each composed of black-edged plates one over the other and flank the high collar, whose shape is reminiscent of that of a dress. The black-edged breastplate reveals a fair amount of Knockout's cleavage and belly, with plates flanking her hips and reaching down to her very large waist guard, composed of very long, black-edged plates shaped like feathers. The waist guard leaves the front of Knockout's body exposed, with her groin being covered by a dark green indument. The slim gauntlets come equipped with prominent protection for her hands. The plates guarding her legs are black-edged on her thighs and knees but pitch green and dark on her metal greaves. A large dark green sword and shield were mounted on either side of her waist (5). Bloody Mary now wore a dark crimson chest plate with angular faulds extending into an ankle-length skirt, elbow-length dark crimson fingerless gloves, dark crimson and black ankle-length skirt, and thigh-high boots. Two sheathed daggers were attached to either side of her waist. She also has a dark crimson hood and cloak wrapped around her (6).
"Are both of you ready?" Ichigo asked.
"I'm ready," Knockout said.
"So am I." Bloody Mary replied. Ichigo used Haōgan to send them into Haō Zaimushō. Ichigo summoned Lashina, Bernadeth, Gilotina, Mad Harriet, and Stompa. Ichigo quickly sentenced them to Hell and executed them. Their souls were thrown into Hell while Ichigo stored their bodies in his mindscape.
"Is there anything else we should check?" Ichigo asked. Kyōka shook her head.
"There isn't anything important," she replied as she returned to Ichigo's mindscape. Ichigo turned to Yin-Yang.
"Yin-Yang, we're going to New Genesis. There is a high chance Metron will appear," Ichigo warned.
"I remember the plan," she replied.
"Good," Ichigo said. "Then open a boom tube to New Genesis."
"Got it," she said. A black and white boom tube opened in front of them. Ichigo and Yin-Yang entered the boom tube.
Scene Change: Supertown, New Genesis
Ichigo and Yin-Yang stepped out of the boom tube to see a large squad of armed guards pointing their weapons at them. Ichigo could see a figure in a red suit using a contraption to float above the armed guards.
"Halt! Identify yourself," the figure in the red suit asked.
"Are you Orion?" Ichigo asked.
"I am," Orion replied.
"Lead me to the Highfather. I have important news related to Darkseid the Highfather would be interested in," Ichigo said. Orion stared at Ichigo for a few seconds.
"Why should I trust you? This could be a trap orchestrated by Darkseid," Orion questioned. Ichigo summoned the decapitated body of Hesaad. Everyone's eyes widened upon seeing the dead body beside Ichigo's feet.
"Is that Hesadd?"
"Check it yourself," Ichigo replied. Orion pulled out his Motherbox.
"Motherbox identify this body," Orion ordered. A beam of light shot out of the Motherbox and scanned the body. A moment later, the Motherbox showed something to Orion.
"Stranger, get on," Orion said. Ichigo sent the body back to his mindscape. Ichigo and Yin-Yang joined Orion on his platform. Orion flew them toward a large castle. They flew into the castle. They soon arrived in front of a door. Orion lowered the platform.
"We must continue on foot," he said. They all stepped off the platform and approached the door. Orion knocked on the door.
"Enter!" they heard on the other side. The doors opened, allowing them to enter. They entered to see a powerful elderly couple sitting on thrones.
"Stranger," the elderly man said from his throne. "May we know your names?"
"I am Ichigo, and this is Yin-Yang," Ichigo introduced.
"You come here requesting to see me share knowledge about Darkseid and possess the dead body of Hesadd, one of Darkseid's Elite," Ichigo stood a few steps forward. The guards posted around the throne room all looked at Ichigo, ready to attack. Ichigo snapped his fingers as the bodies of Lashina, Bernadeth, Gilotina, Mad Harriet, Stompa, Kalibak, Steppenwolf, Grayven, and Hesaad appeared from his mindscape. Everyone recognized who these were.
"Check the bodies!" the elderly man ordered, standing up from his throne.
"Yes, Highfather," Orion replied as he rushed toward the pile of bodies and began to scan them. "Put the Divine Guard on high alert," Highfather ordered.
"YES, HIGHFATHER!" One of the soldiers replied and left the throne room.
"These are indeed them," Orion reported. The Highfather looked at Ichigo.
"Is this the important news?" Highfather asked.
"No," Ichigo said. "That is just the appetizer," Ichigo said as he snapped his finger. The dead body of Darkseid appeared. The Highfather rushed toward the body of Darkseid and inspected it.
"And this is the main course." Highfather looked at Ichigo in shock and disbelief.
"H-How is this possible?" He asked.
"I was tasked with killing him," Ichigo said.
"Then I must reward you," Highfather said. He turned to Orion. "Orion, I am sending the Royal Guard with you to claim Apokolips. As you have his blood, you must take it over and rule it."
"As you command, Highfather," Orion said as he left the throne room.
"I will organize the celebration," the elder woman said.
"Yes please, dear," Highfather replied. He turned to Ichigo.
"What is it that you wish for, benefactor?" Highfather asked. Before Ichigo could answer, another boom tube opened as a figure sitting in a chair exited. The figure wore a black suit with whitish-blue circuit lines that flowed from him to the black floating throne.
"Metron, what are you doing here."
"Izaya, I'm not here for you." Metron floated toward Yin-Yang. "I am here to see my granddaughter." He raised his hand toward Yin-Yang. Ichigo appeared in front of Yin-Yang, grasping Metron's hand. Ichigo turned to Highfather.
"Is this how you treat guests?" Ichigo asked. Metron flicked his wrist, breaking free from Ichigo.
"Mortal, how dare you touch a New God," Metron said as fired an energy beam at Ichigo. Ichigo shunpō'ed past the energy beam. He grabbed Metron and dragged him off the chair. Yin-Yang jumped up and sat down in the chair. Black and white circuit lines flowed from her body into the chair.
"So, Highfather, should I consider this an attack from your people?" Ichigo asked as he pinned Metron down on the ground with his knee placed over Metron's neck. Highfather looked at the struggling Metron before glancing at Darkseid's corpse.
"He is not one of my people," Highfather said. Metron stopped struggling and glared at Highfather.
"Very well then," Ichigo said. Kyōka appeared beside Ichigo and stabbed Metron in the back of his head, activating Yomu Kioku.
"Are you done?" Ichigo asked.
"I am," Kyōka said. Ichigo pulled Metron up from the ground and pushed him forward. He flew forward before tripping over the pile of dead New Gods. He got back on his feet and glared at Ichigo and Kyōka.
"Metron, I've slain all those New Gods in less than an hour." Ichigo began. "The price for letting you live has been already taken." Yin-Yang sat on the Mobius Chair and mentally ordered the chair to float beside Ichigo. Metron glared at them.
"This will not be forgotten," Metron said as he pulled a rectangular box and left through a boom tube. Kyōka returned to Ichigo's mindscape.
"I'm sorry Ichigo for the unexpected guest," Highfather said.
"The unexpected guest has been taken care of." Ichigo casually replied. "Anyways, I wish to see the best weaponsmith in New Genesis," Ichigo asked.
"Very well. I will take you there." Highfather replied.
"Mobius and I are going to spend some time taking," Yin-Yang said.
"Ok," Ichigo replied. Yin-Yang opened a boom tube, and they flew into it. The boom tube closed behind them. Highfather pulled out a Motherbox and had it open a boom tube for them. They both entered the boom tube.
Scene Change: Unknown Location
Ichigo and Highfather arrived outside a large metal door. Highfather waved his hand, and a scepter appeared in his hand. He used the scepter and tapped the metal door four times. A moment later, the door opened. Ichigo could see a short, stubby person step out. He wore thick leather coveralls.
"Hello, Hyalt," Highfather said.
"Ah, Izaya. What do you want?" the named Hyalt replied.
"I need you to forge a weapon for this warrior," Highfather said. Hyalt looked at Ichigo.
"Who is he?" Hyalt asked. Highfather explained to Hyalt the situation. Hyalt looked at Ichigo with an amazed look. "Very well, I will forge him the best weapon I can."
"Thank you, Hyalt," Highfather said. He turned to Ichigo. "When you are done with Hyalt, please let me know how long Hyalt will take for your weapon."
"I understand," Ichigo replied. Ichigo and Hyalt entered his workshop. Ichigo shrunk himself down to match Hyalt's size.
"Thanks for doing that," Hyalt began to crack his neck. "All the looking up hurts the neck." They soon sat down in front of a table. "So do you have any ideas on what weapon you want?"
"Before we talk, I need you to sign this." Ichigo placed a contract in front of Hyalt. He took the contract and read it. His eyes widened as he read the contract.
"This is a contract of the soul. He doesn't want me to reveal anything related to his weapon to anyone… but why?" Hyalt thought. He let out a sigh as he signed the contract. Hyalt gritted his teeth as he felt the contract taking hold. Ichigo nodded his head as he placed two pieces of charred wood on the table in front of him.
"Tell me what you can feel from these," Ichigo asked. Hyalt carefully grabbed the pieces of charred wood. He could feel the powers of the Old Gods of Lightning, Thunder, and Storms, the ill intent of a thief, the weapons' sense of loyalty, and sparks of gratitude.
"What happened to them?" Hyalt asked, curious about the story of these weapons. Ichigo told Hyalt the history of Stormbreaker and his battle with the Thief. Hyalt gently placed the wooden pieces on the table. "So do you wish to reforge Stormbreaker?" Hyalt asked.
"Not exactly," Ichigo replied. He raised his hand. "Let the sky become your hunting ground, Sky Chaser!" Ichigo activated Schrift V: The Ventus, summoning Sky Chaser. He placed Sky Chaser on the table. "I wish to combine them together." Hyalt nodded his head.
"This will no doubt be the greatest challenge I will encounter," Hyalt said. "But I will need you to disconnect your connection with Sky Chaser for me to be able to create a new weapon."
"I understand," Ichigo replied as he picked up Sky Chaser. Ichigo could sense Sky Chaser's emotions.
"You didn't do anything wrong," Ichigo told Sky Chaser. "I'm doing this to make you stronger. After all, the wind is not just about shooting arrows." Ichigo said. Ichigo could sense Sky Chaser trusting Ichigo's intent. Finally, Ichigo severed the connection with Sky Chaser and Schrift V: The Ventus. Ichigo placed Sky Chaser on the table. Hyalt carried over a large shining silver sphere.
"The last thing I need you to do is to inject your energy into this sphere." Ichigo placed his hands on the sphere and allowed Schrift V: The Ventus's energy to flow into the sphere.
"That is enough," Hyalt said after a few minutes. Ichigo cut the flow from Schrift V: The Ventus.
"I almost used all the mana, Divine Energy, and reiatsu in Schrift V: The Ventus." Ichigo thought.
"Tell Izaya that I will need three days to get this done. I will come to get you when it is ready," Hyalt said. Ichigo nodded his head and left Hyalt's forge. Ichigo returned to his regular height. Suddenly, a black and white boom tube opened in front of him as Yin-Yang stepped out. Behind her was an armored figure. Ichigo waved his hand, placing all his privacy kidōs and spells around them.
"Who is that?" Ichigo asked.
"This is Mobius," Yin-Yang said. "Mobius wanted to become something similar to me, so I offered him the Kryptonian's body, and he merged with it." Mobius took a step forward, allowing Ichigo to get a closer look at him. He was a mixture of a black-armored knight and a sage. He has a black face and red eyes with gold and silver highlights. His chest has a black pentagon with gold and silver engraving. On his shoulder guards, a golden owl is flying toward the middle on a silver background. He had a black metallic robe wrapped around him (8).
"Greetings Master," Mobius replied.
"Hello, Mobius. I hope you can experience what you want," Ichigo replied.
"Thank you, Master," Mobius replied.
"Do either one of you know how long three days on New Genesis is equal to Earth?" Ichigo asked.
"Three days on New Genesis is approximately three days and five hours," Mobius replied.
"I should be able to finish everything on Earth, come back to Hyalt's forge to pick up my new weapon, and then leave this universe." Ichigo thought.
"So, what are both of you planning to do now?" Ichigo asked.
"With Mobius's help, I finished developing the scarabs," Yin-Yang said as she pulled out a silver scarab and presented it to Ichigo. The silver scarab looked the same as the scarab the Reach used but it was smaller.
"What information does each of the scarabs have?" Ichigo asked.
"The scarabs have an advanced artificial program. They are preprogrammed with English, Japanese, and Kryptonian languages, and all functions of the human body. There are a few rules which they cannot violate. The first rule, they will never betray Ichigo. The second rule, they must obey all orders given by Ichigo. The third rule, they must follow the Chain of Command as best as possible. In the case where multiple conflicting orders are given, the AI can decide how the orders are completed to complete the majority of them."
"Good start," Ichigo said. "We should allow these AIs to develop from the ground up," Ichigo said. "You are free to begin the training process. Remind Nadira, Faora, and Ursa that they must slowly begin training. They must have special bands to restrict their Kryptonian abilities. Nadira, Faora, and Ursa will gradually release the imposed restrictions on the bands."
"Yes, Master," Yin-Yang replied.
"Master, may I assist Yin-Yang in these efforts?" Mobius asked.
"I am fine with it," Ichigo replied.
"Have you considered the name and the command structure of this army?" Yin-Yang asked.
"I have," Ichigo said. "The army is called Eternal Guardian," Ichigo said. "The emblem will primarily consist of three silver swords. The two swords on the sides will be sabers with the blades pointing out. The center sword will be a longsword, and slightly longer than the sabers. The swords will be positioned similarly to a kite. The negative space will be black." Mobius waved his hand creating the emblem on his breastplate. "Just like that."
"What about the command structure?" Yin-Yang asked.
"I will be the Supreme Commander," Ichigo began. "The Supreme Commander's emblem will be three golden five-pointed stars on top of the pommel of each sword and a gold pair of wings on the broadsword." Mobius waved his hand as the emblem appeared in Ichigo's hand. "You will be the Grand Commander, my second-in-command," Ichigo said.
"I would be honored," Yin-Yang said.
"Your emblem will be like mine but without the golden wings," Ichigo explained. A small pendant with the Grand Commander emblem appeared on her choker.
"Yes sir," Yin-Yang replied.
"Mobius, you will be the Tactical Commander, the third-in-command," Ichigo said. Mobius nodded his head. "The Tactical Commander will have two five-pointed stars in between the empty space of each sword," Ichigo added.
"Yes Master," Mobius said as his breastplate added the stars.
"Faora Hu-Ul will be the Commander of the Shadow Guardian. Her emblem will have a five-pointed star on the crossguard of the sword on the left side." Yin-Yang and Mobius nodded their heads. "Nadira Va-Dim will be the Commander of the Imperial Guardian. Her emblem will have the five-pointed star on the crossguard of the sword in the middle. Lastly, Ursa Ha-Ul will be the Commander of the War Guardian. Her emblem will have the five-pointed star on the crossguard of the sword on the right side."
"Where do you want the emblem placed?" Yin-Yang asked.
"They will be placed on both sides of the shoulder sleeves. Lower ranks will have the standard patch, and rank will be signified by the stripes below the emblem. One upward chevron will be Private. Two upward chevrons will be Private First Class, three upward chevrons will be Lance Corporal, Corporal will have a pair of black crossed swords underneath the first chevron. Sergeants will have a rocker that connects the first chevron. The Sergeant Staff Sergeant will have two rockers. Master Sergeant will have three rockers (9)." Modius waved his hand as he created the image Ichigo explained.
"Got it," Yin-Yang said.
"I have created a device that would allow Master to open boom tubes without calling for us," Mobius said as he took a knee and presented Ichigo a silver ring with a black and white yin-yang symbol as the centerpiece.
"Thank you," Ichigo replied as he took the ring from Mobius. He slipped the ring on his finger. Mobius silently stood up. Ichigo pulled out the Trainer and sent Yin-Yang and Mobius into the Trainer. Ichigo tightened his fist and pointed the ring in front of him.
"Send me to the throne room." Ichigo mentally commanded. A black and white beam shot out from the ring, opening a black and white boom tube. Ichigo walked into the boom tube.
