Ichigo: Sorry... I missed... Next time, I won't.

Ichigo intentionally missed his Getsuga Tensho in order to show how much stronger he was than Ginjo.

Ginjo, seeing Ichigo's strength, took off.

Ginjo: *thinking* Must retreat! I've got to retreat and regroup!

Ichigo then appeared out of thin air. Ginjo couldn't even react. Ichigo casually placed his hand on Ginjo's shoulder.



Ichigo: You're not getting away!

Ichigo then threw Ginjo.

Ginjo: *thinking* What incredible power... His physical abilities have become even more powerful! Did the Fullbring I gave him increase his innate powers?!

Ichigo then started to charge up a Getsuga Tensho.

Ginjo: It'll take more than that to kill me!

Ichigo released the Getsuga Tensho, hitting Ginjo directly. As Ichigo took the time to take everything in.

Ichigo: Rukia, Renji, Byakuya, Kenpachi, Ikkaku, Toshiro... That's not all. Shinji, Rangiku, Unohana, Hanataro, Dad Mr. Urahara, Yoruichi, Soi-Fon and even the Old Head Captain. And I can't forget (Y/N)...

"You feel it right?"

Ichigo saw the captains (and Renji) of the Soul Society behind him.



Ichigo: I thought transferring your powers to a human was a serious crime.

Renji: We didn't have a choice. It's the Head Captain's orders. Nice of the Head Captain, don't you think?

Hitsugaya: Don't be stupid. It's not the kind of sane decision you'd expect of a leader. The Head Captain would've probably never made a decision like this in the past. You and (L/N) changed all that, Kurosaki. That power you received is the result of the changes you two made to the Soul Society in all of your battles. Accept it with honor.

"It's nice to see my best friend in fighting form again."

(Y/N) joined into the conversation.

(Y/N): It almost feels like you never left.

Ichigo: Thanks to you. Seriously, why didn't you say anything?

(Y/N): You said it yourself. It's a crime for a shinigami to give a human. Me, Mr. Urahara, and Rukia had to keep it under wraps until we could finish it. We didn't want the Soul Society, or more specifically, Central 46 to find out our little plot.

Ichigo: But something went wrong right? After all, the Head Captain found out.

(Y/N): Yeah, but that's a story for later. In the end, everything worked out.

Just then, Ichigo and (Y/N) felt a spiritual pressure raised exponentially behind them.

Ichigo: No way...

(Y/N): This was more in line with what I was expecting from this Ginjo guy.

Hitsugaya then spoke up.

Hitsugaya: There are two reasons why the Head Captain decided to restore your Spiritual Pressure. The first is as we just told you. And the second reason is him. Long before you and (L/N) ever showed up, a man was issued a Combat Pass as a Substitute Shinigami then relinquished that position and disappeared. The first Substitute Shinigami, Ginjo Kugo.



Ichigo: The first Substitute Shinigami?! What're you talking about?!

Hitsugaya: When Ukitake first handed you the Combat Pass, he must have told you this...

...

Ukitake:A Substitute Soul Reaper Combat Pass. It's our old custom to give this to a Substitute Soul Reaper who is deemed useful to the Soul Society.

...

Hitsugaya: The Substitute Soul Reaper law was created for him.

Byakuya then spoke up.

Byakuya: Captain Hitsugaya.

Hitsugaya knew that Byakuya was asking him to refrain from giving out anymore information,

Hitsugaya: Be that as it may, we'll save the details for later. Right now, concentrate all of your attention on him!

Ginjo: You got that right! You guys would have a problem if he's not focused on me!

Ginjo then directed his attention to Ichigo and (Y/N).

Ginjo: Thanks, Kurosaki. If I hadn't taken your powers, I'd be dead right now. And you're next (L/N).

Ichigo and (Y/N) stared down Ginjo.

(Y/N): Oversee, Ankou.

(Y/N) activated his shikai before turning towards Calavera and Jinta.

(Y/N): Calavera, help out Rukia. Jinta... well you already have your eyes set on an opponent so just chill out for now.

Calavera: Got it.

Jinta: Hell yeah!

(Y/N): Don't get too crazy though.

(Y/N) turned towards Soi-Fon.

(Y/N): I hate to ask this of you after you came all this way, but can you make sure Jinta here doesn't get reckless.

Soi-Fon: Huh? Hold on a minute, why don't I just take on whoever the kid is fighting? I can get the job done.

(Y/N): Yeah, but Jinta has a grudge to settle. I doubt he'll screw up but if he does, can you jump in?

Soi-Fon just sighed in annoyance before accepting.

Soi-Fon: Fine...

Jinta: I don't need a babysitter!

(Y/N): Then win. That way she doesn't have to.

Jinta: F-fine. I'll prove to you I can fight my own battles just fine!

(Y/N): He's a bit stubborn.

Soi-Fon: I can tell.

(Y/N) then got an idea.

(Y/N): Now that I think about it, this is a better time than any. Hey Cal, think you can take Siegfried with you?

Calavera: I'll take any help I can get.

(Y/N): Good.

(Y/N) summoned Sigfried while Calavera took out Calavera Jr., who grew in size. What came next was a surprise.

Calavera Jr. just ate Siegfried.

Hitsugaya: As much as I want to ask what's going on, I think I'll hold my tongue.

Byakuya: Agreed.

(Y/N): Alright Calavera, kick some butt.

Calavera: Will do.

(Meanwhile)

Orihime and Chad were running through the forest, trying to catch up to the action. As they were running, Orihime thought back to the scene. How Ichigo lost his powers and broke down.

Orihime: *thinking* Ichigo was crying. Why? Ichigo and Mr. Tsukishima are friends. Why did it turn out like this? Mr. Tsukishima is the one I looked up to. Way, way before I even met Ichigo. He always protected me and treated me with kindness. I've always admired him. I want to do anything Mr. Tsukishima says. For Mr. Tsukishima, I could sacrifice anything. That's how I felt. But why is it that it hurts so much when I see Ichigo crying?



Orihime: It hurts so much! In my mind, in my heart and even in the pit of my stomach. Please don't cry, Ichigo!

Orihime and Chad got to the scene and saw Ichigo, standing in confidence.

Orihime: Thank goodness. Ichigo isn't crying.

Orihime then noticed that (Y/N) and alongside many of the Shinigamis from Soul Society standing by Ichigo.

Orihime: They all came to stop Ichigo!

Chad: Something's not right. Why is everybody on Ichigo's side?! Didn't they come to stop Ichigo? It's almost as though they've come to defeat Ginjo!

"What's the matter, you two?"



Tsukishima appeared behind Chad and Orihime.

Tsukishima: Are you having doubts about your past?

Orihime: Mr. Tsukishima?

Tsukishima: That's odd. You don't believe the memories you share with me?

Tsukishima turned towards Orihime.

Tsukishima: Who was it who protected you from your parents and raised you, Orihime?

Then to Chad.

Tsukishima: Who was it who gave you that pendant, Chad?

Chad and Orihime were slowly having a mental collapse as Tsukishima started to manipulate them more than he was usually. Ginjo then yelled at Tsukishima.

Ginjo: Tsukishima! Don't keep cramming memories into their pasts! They'll become unusable! Think about how many you ruined by doing that!

Just then, Orihime and Chad were knocked out by Urahara and Isshin.

Urahara: Whew. Thank goodness Thanks to you carelessly unsettling them, we were easily able to knock them unconscious. Thank you very much. Now Inoue and Sado have been taken out of action. They won't have to suffer anymore.

Urahara looked at Ichigo and (Y/N).

Urahara: We've already moved the others to a safe place, so you're now able to fight without holding back!

Just then, the rest of the fullbringers ran towards Ginjo.

Jackie: Kugo!

Kutsuzawa: This is quite unfair! How could you take Mr. Ichigo's power all for yourself?!

Riruka: Hey! Giriko!

Yukio: Yeah! You promised to share it with all of us!

Riruka: Hold on, you guys! I don't really care about having Ichigo's powers!

Ginjo got annoyed at the fullbringers complaining.

Ginjo: Shut up! You don't have to remind me about it.

Ginjo then shared his powers with the rest of the fullbringers.

Ginjo: I'll give all of you guys a portion of Ichigo's power.

After receiving a portion of Ichigo's powers, all of the fullbringers' appearance changed.



Kutsuzawa: Wonderful! So this is the power of Mr. Ichigo's Fullbring! ,It's as though youth is gushing out from my body!

Yukio: Your comments are totally like those of an old man, Giriko.

Tsukishima: Aren't you going to share it with Shishigawara? It's not nice to leave him out.

Ginjo: Increasing his power would only cause trouble. When this fight's over, kill him.

The fullbringers, now with much more powerful abilities, got ready for battle.



Kutsuzawa: All right! Here we come, Mr. Ichigo! Feel with your own body the wonderful power you've given us!

Soi-Fon: Those idiots are getting carried away.

(Y/N): Let's be prepared for whatever they throw at us.

Ichigo: No. It's my fault their powers increased. I'll go.

(Y/N) was about to retort but stopped himself.

(Y/N): *thinking* This is what Ichigo normally does. This is just Ichigo being his normal self again.

(Y/N): Then by all means. If you start to struggle we'll jump in.

Ichigo: Yeah, right. I'll clear them out in one fell swoop.

Ichigo flew down towards the fullbringers and walked up towards them.

Kutsuzawa: Huh? What is this about? Don't tell me you're going to take on all of us alone?

As promised Ichigo dashed through the fullbringers, taking them all down in a single hit.



Ichigo: I went easy on you. You shouldn't be dead.

All of a sudden, the fullbringers started to disappear.

"Huh?! Shouldn't be dead, you say?! You think you're so cool? You're such a joke! Don't you get it? It wasn't a "You have defeated the enemy!" It was, in fact, a "But they evaded your attack!"

Ichigo realized that Yukio had used his fullbring to fake their injuries. In reality, they were quite fine.

Yukio: You saw it, didn't you? We took your Fullbring, Ichigo Kurosaki. A Fullbring that is worn and emitted outward. Thanks to you, I was able to expand the area of incursion of my "Invaders Must Die" beyond the screen.

The rest of the Shinigami flew down.

Soi-Fon: Don't take it easy on them. Stab them in the back next time. They started this fight so they should be able to handle the consequences of what that fight entails.

"She's right."

Coming out of the forest was (F/N).

Tsukishima: (F/N). You took your time.

(F/N): No thanks to you. I had to make sure everyone involved was released from your ability before I came over here.

Yukio then looked around the battlefield.

Yukio: Looks like they spread out just right. Well then, I'll assign rooms.

Just then, the world around everyone started to digitize. Kenpachi looked over to (F/N) and spoke.

Kenpachi: Hold on, new guy. That one looks stronger. Switch with me!

(F/N): No thanks, this is a personal fight.

Kenpachi was then trapped with Byakuya in a room with Kutsuzawa.

Kutsuzawa: Switch because he looks stronger? I can't let that go. In other words, I look weak to you?

Kenpachi: Shut up. It's boring to cut down small fries.

Kutsuzawa: You appear to be a muscle-bound idiot. People like you need to be crushed by force. What do you think?!

Byakuya: He's right, you are fairly weak.

Kutsuzawa then started to grow in size, aggravated by the comments made against him.

Kutsuzawa: Time Tells No Lies is also capable of something like this! The simpler the terms of my contract with the Gods of Time, the more powerful it's manifested! My contract right now is an exceedingly simple increase in power! Right now, I am more powerful than anyone-

In a literal second, Byakuya and Kenpachi cut down Kutsuzawa.

Kutsuzawa: Impossible...

Kenpachi: See? What a bore.

Byakuya: Underwhelming, indeed. The #0 Espada from the Invasion was a much more formidable foe.

To be continued.
