Chapter 2: Do You Want To Know The Name (Part 2)

It was shocking, to say the least when Kirei Kotomine heard the heart of Illya and Shinji. Kirei expected him to get beaten by SOMEONE, that was the nature of all fighters after all. But the fight didn't even happen, the man got in, out, and gone before anyone could even blink. It was baffling. There was something that Kirei thought was off about the whole thing. What did he want with the grail? There were so many questions that needed answered… but not enough details to fill out an entire conclusion.
"Tell me again Gilgamesh, what did you see?"
"I told you 100 times already Kotomine!" seethed Gilgamesh, "He moved faster than my eye could track! That is it!"
"So you really couldn't see it?" asked Kirei
"Are you messing with me mongrel?! I. Saw. What. I. SAW! I know what he did! He moved fast enough to steal the heart and then steal Shinji. There is no way my precognitive abilities would be faulty!" said Gilgamesh
"If that man was that fast… why didn't he just attack you? He would have made things easier for himself if he did try to attack and then steal the heart and Shinji from us." asked Kirei, "They have everything they need to summon the grail."
"I am well aware, how the hell could I not be!" Said Gilgamesh, "The bastard got the better of me, I was careless. If I knew what the hell was happening, I would have attempted to kill him on the spot."
"I doubt that would have helped, if he was that fast, he might have the power to have been able to stop you… there might be others that can do the same as he did either under his command or those he works for." said Kirei to Gilgamesh before turning his head at the direction of the window and saying, "Is THIS what you felt… when you sensed that man?"
"WHAT! He is back! Do you think he is here to summon the grail right in the heart of this place?!" said Gilgamesh
"I think he might," said Kirei, "Do what you need to do."
Gil only smirked before leaping out the window to meet the new fighter. Kirei stood at the window, he slightly thought it was smart to bind the one who the both thought was the cloaked figure… but the power he felt was NOTHING like any servant… and nothing like Gilgamesh had described of what he felt from the man before. The pressure they felt was like a 500-ton brick was set upon their shoulders, heavy, and the one who held this type of power must have been stronger than the grail itself in terms of oppressive presence… So why did it belong to a thuggish child? The teenage boy in a black shihakusho with a red chain-like thing hung over his shoulder and a set of bandages wrapped around his right arm… sure he was bound in chains but that was beside the point here. His hair was orange, neon orange if he had to fully place the color, and his eyes, at least from what he could tell, were brown… Other than the eyes, everything was screaming in Kirei's ears that this was not Aizen… it was someone who felt like a much bigger threat to them.
"CLOAKED FOOL! Do you have any last words before you die?!" Shouted Gilgamesh before letting forth a flurry of swords… what they both saw shocked Kirei to his core… Kirei saw the teen's mouth move… and for a split second a flare of energy erupted and everything Gilgamesh had done was undone in an instant. It looked as if he blocked it with the flared pressure itself… Kirei left soon after that display of power, he had to at this point, he needed the others within the mansion to be alive for as long as they could get the grail back if THAT was an enemy.
(Meanwhile: With Ichigo and Gilgamesh)
"My name is Ichigo Kurosaki, and who the hell do you think I am asshole?!" Said Ichigo with a cocky smirk on his face.
"Y-Y-You broke out of my chains!" said Gigamesh, Shocked and appalled at the fact that was all before… he realized it, "You're not the cloaked figure?"
"Bout time Goldie!"
Ichigo lunged forth at Gilgamesh, Gilgamesh himself grabbed a sword to defend himself. Ichigo, Using his momentum, tossed his sword to the side and threw a haymaker into Gilgamesh's Jaw. This sent him flying up into the air for a second Before he focused his sight upon Ichigo, who was pulling back his sword with the sash around his arm, and he began to summon swords to launch in Ichigo's direction. Ichigo saw the swords flying toward him and dodged one of the swords before pivoting his stance and blocking another sword. He extended a hand to where the first sword landed, pulled it out of the ground, and tossed it into another incoming blade. Ichigo lept toward Gilgamesh, deflecting all the swords that Gilgamesh was able to toss at him in the time it took for him to close the distance, and slashed at Gilgamesh, forcing Gil to block with another sword that he was about to launch toward Ichigo.
Ichigo then hooked his blade in the crossguard for Gilgemesh's own and disarmed Gilgamesh, soon after tossing his sword behind him and swinging it around by the sash.
"Really? Did you toss away your only weapon again? How original!" said Gilgamesh
"Then you are gonna love this!" said Ichigo
Gilgamesh finally landed on the ground with a soft thud and looked up to potentially attack Ichigo again. Only to see the tornado of gold energy forming from the sash and blade.
"I started practicing this a while back. Guess I mastered it!" said Ichigo
"TENSEI MANGETSU NO KEN (Reincarnated full moon sword!)!
"Wait. NO! NO, I CAN STILL BLOCK THI-!" said Gilgamesh as he was about to open another Gate of Babylon portal… but the golden tornado engulfed Gilgamesh destroying any chance of escape while he was trapped in a tornado of spiritual power. Tossing him about to and fro with reckless abandon. When it finally dissipated, Gilgamesh's battered body got flung into the castle wall, and Ichigo's sword plunged into the ground with a golden energy still flowing off of it.
Ichigo flicked his wrist and his sword came back to his hand with no issue, "Hell yha, finally did it," said Ichigo. Ichigo looked toward Gigamesh and said, "Really? Is that the best you got! How did you last this long in this war if you don't even know how to fight?!" taunted Ichigo
"Y-POOT-You are (cough) quite strong, I will give you that," said Gilgamesh
"I hope so." said Ichigo, "I went through a lot to get this strong goldy, now give up, you are in no condition to fight anymore."
"That… would be nice, however, I believe that you could be of assistance," said Gilgamesh
"Oh yha? How so?" asked Ichigo
"You see, I had an artifact that was able to grant anyone any wish that they could think of, however, a cloaked figure came and with insane amounts of speed, he stole that artifact and the necessary sacrifice to activate it," said Gil
"What the hell would Aizen want with a wish artifact?"
"Aizen?"
"Hold on a sec, hey Ukitake! Did you get any of that?"
"I did. If he is going to make a wish upon that artifact… then we might be in serious trouble."
"So I got to listen to this guy?"
"For now, yes."
"On it." said Ichigo before turning back to Gil, "Ok, I am gonna investigate the building for any clues of where he went, stay here, got it goldy!"
And before Gil could say anything, Ichigo was gone.
"Damn fast-moving mongrels," said Gil.
(Meanwhile: Karakura Town)
"Kaname, did you get it?" asked Aizen
"Of course Aizen-Sama." said Kaname Tosen, "I was in and out before anyone could notice that he was gone."
"Very good." said Aizen, "And to you Gin, did you get what we needed?"
"Lots of black candles and goat blood to summon whatever demon you plan to feed to the Hogyoku, then no. If it is the other thing, then yes," said Gin Ichimaru
"Good… then let us begin." said Aizen, "Let us summon the Holy Grail…"
The rest was a whisper, as Tosen set a body down, it was the body of a teenage boy… with blue hair. The boy is Shinji Matou.
