(Y/N) stared as Oetsu passionately forged the new zanpakuto. Oetsu, despite not looking at (Y/N), could feel the boy's eyes on him.

Oetsu: What are you thinking about, (Y/N)?

(Y/N): Well it's just... aren't you supposed to wear some sort of eye protection when working with hot metals? Aren't you afraid of getting hit by debris or sparks?

Oetsu: Who cares about some flying metal or heat. With my glasses on I won't be able to see the color of the flames!

(Y/N): *whispering* Was I supposed to take that literally? Whatever the case, it sounds like he's passionate about what he does...

Oetsu: Yo, (Y/N). Let me ask you a question.

(Y/N): Huh? S-sure...

Oetsu: When you came into contact with your Asauchi, what was the first thought that came to your mind?

(Y/N): It didn't remind me of just my inner shinigami, but my inner hollow as well.

Oetsu: I see. Why do you think your inner Hollow is so insistent on becoming one with your shinigami powers? Is it because your Hollow is the more dominant part of your soul or is he scared that he'll be thrown to the wayside with the formation of this new zanpakuto?

...

...

...

(Y/N): Neither...

Oetsu: Hm?

(Y/N): Thanatos is quite frankly, a selfish guy. Always been that way from the start. But he never had a problem working with Ankou, even if Ankou was hesitant. All he wants is to prioritize my safety after all. To grow stronger. And if that means becoming one with my inner shinigami, I'm sure he'd jump to take that chance in no time. Ankou on the other hand, just wants me to always keep my morals and ethics in check. Ankou's guidance was what allowed me and Thanatos to see each other eye to eye.

Oetsu: Oh? Then by all means... put the finishing touches on your new Zanpakuto, (N/N).

(Y/N) walked towards the flames and stuck his hands into it, grabbing ahold of the handle.

(Y/N): Me, Ankou and Thanatos are one. I'd never choose one over the other. We've always fought together, whether I knew it or not. That's why even in the creation of this new Zanpakuto, Ankou and Thanatos are putting their all into it.

(Y/N) pulled the zanpakuto out and the flames erupted in a pillar. (Y/N) then plunged the zanpakuto into the water tinto the Hoohden.

Oetsu walked up to (Y/N).

Oetsu: Why don't you take a look at your new zanpakuto?

(Y/N): Right...

(Y/N) took his zanpakuto out of the water and took a look. (Y/N)'s zanpakuto took the form of a large blade.



"So, is it to your liking?"

"We put our all into that zanpakuto, don't go around destroying it again."

"Thanks you two..."

...

(Meanwhile) In Silbern.

Every single Quincy soldier stood at attention as the Quincy King walked up on a stage to address his soldiers.

Haschwalth: Raise your crosses! Salute... His Majesty Yhwach!



Yhwach: You're all here, Sternritters. A thousand years ago, we Quincies were savagely attacked by the Shinigamis. We lost many comrades and our very existence was threatened. We survived hiding in the Schatten Bereich, endured humiliation and waited out a thousand years. Soon, the final battle will commence. The time has come for us to annihilate the Soul Society and the Shinigami...and reinstate the honor of the Quincies. In advance of the battle, I have an announcement.

Yhwach then looked to his side and beckoned someone to come up on stage.

Yhwach: Come forth.

A person none of the Quincies recognized walked on stage next to Yhwach. That person was Uryu.



"Who the hell is that guy?"

"Why is he on the same stage as His Majesty?"

Yhwach then spoke up.

Yhwach: Uryu Ishida. He is the last surviving Quincy in this world. I hereby name him as my successor.



"But why?"

"His Majesty's successor...?"

"That guy?"

"What is going on...? Jugo..."

Yhwach: I will not stand for objections. No need for concern either. You will all soon learn firsthand his powers in the battles to come. That will be all.

Yhwach then proceeded to walk off stage and exit the room, with Uryu following slowly behind.

One of the female Quincies in the front row let out a sigh of frustration before leaving.

Female Quincy: Ugh! This makes no sense!

She then pointed at one of the foot soldiers.

Female Quincy: You!

Quincy Soldier: Y-Yes?

Female Quincy: I'm in a bad mood, so come to my room. Now!

Quincy Soldier: I-It would be my honor!



It was not...

After some... special relief... The Female Quincy killed the soldier in question.



As the girl in question began to zip up her shirt, a few other female quincies entered the room. One with green hair, One with Pink hair, one with blond hair and another with black hair.



Green Hair: Aw, come on, Bambi! Look at the mess you made again.

"Bambi", short for Bambietta, looked at her group of friends nonchalantly.

Bambietta: As if you guys don't dirty the place too.

Blonde Hair: Crumbs from eating snacks and bloodstains are two different things, you slut.

Pink Hair: It would be preferable if you could at least do it outside...

Green Hair: This isn't an issue of "inside" or "outside"! What I'm trying to say is, you gotta do something about that habit of picking out a hot guy and killing him whenever something pisses you off.

Black Hair: Because you just love to "sample" your subordinates, don't you, Candi?

The green-haired girl, now known as "Candi" (short for Candice) looked at the black haired girl in annoyance.

Candice: Ehh?! When did I ever say that?! You trying to start a fight here, Gigi?

The girl now known as "Gigi" (short for Giselle) decided to ignore Candice.

Candice: Look at me when I'm talking to you!

The conversation was cut off as Bambietta shot a hole through the wall.

Bambietta: Could you all be quiet? I've got bigger things to worry about right now!

Candice: Bigger things? What do you mean?

Bambietta: Isn't it obvious? I'm talking about the future of the Wandenreich.

Bambietta walked past her friends and left to dwell in her own thoughts.

Giselle: Aww~ Bambi's in a bad mood... Oh well, I guess I'll head off and do some studying...

Candice: You? Study? What could you possibly be studying?

Giselle: Just looking into the reports of those special threats.

Blonde Hair: And by special threats, you mean one in particular...

Giselle: Whatever do you mean, Lil?

The blonde haired girl, Lil (short for Liltotto) continued.

Liltotto: You have your eyes set on taking out that self-proclaimed King.

Giselle: Guilty as charged~ But can you blame me? I'm a big fan!

Meninas: Are you referring to (Y/N) (L/N)?

Giselle: Right on the money.

Candice: What's so special about him?

Lilotto: He's tied with Ichigo Kurosaki as the number 1 Special War Power, not only for his unpredictability but also being a natural counter to us. As the one who defeated Baraggan Louisenbairn, he took his crown as King but gave it up almost immediately. His Majesty sent Quilge to Hueco Mundo specifically to remove (Y/N) from the equation in our first invasion.

Candice: So what's so interesting about this (Y/N) guy?

Lilotto: If I had to guess, Gigi took interest in him after finding out he can control the dead.

Giselle: And immortal. I would never be bored killing someone over and over again...

Candice: So you just want a toy to practice your twist torture methods on. Is that it?

Giselle: I'm not a sadist...

Lilotto: That's what a sadist would say...

(Timeskip)

Yhwach sat alone in his throne room with Uryu as they prepared for a ritual. Uryu held a cup of blood in his hand.

Uryu: There is something I'd like to ask before the ritual. Why...am I your successor?

Yhwach: You're questioning it? If you think a little, it should be obvious why I am choosing you as my successor.

There was a slight pause before Yhwach spoke again.

Yhwach: You can't figure it out? Then let me ask you this: Uryu, why are you still alive? You already know. You're the only Quincy in history to ever survive the Auswählen. There is a reason that you survived. There is something you possess that surpasses even my own power. That is why I chose to name you my successor. Understand your place Uryu. There's no place for doubt. You need only come with me.

Uryu: Of course. I understand completely, Your Majesty.

Uryu then drank the blood that was in the cup.

Yhwach: With this, your powers will soon awaken. I bestow this Schrift upon you. The same letter "A" as me.

Yhwach then got off of his throne.

Yhwach: Follow me.

Uryu followed Yhwach's command as Yhwach entered a secluded room in his throne room. There wasn't much in the room except for one thing. A coffin.

Uryu: A coffin?

Yhwach: I had Haschwalth bring this to me before he approached you with the invitation to join the Wandenreich. In this coffin holds a man that possesses great knowledge and power. A Echt Quincy to be precise.

Uryu: Who is it?

Yhwach: Daichi (L/N).

To be continued.

This would technically be the end of Cour 1 with a tad bit of Cour 2's introduction.

Let's talk about (Y/N)'s new zanpakuto real quick. If you're familiar with Blazblue, you know exactly how this new zanpakuto works. For those who don't know, in Blazblue, the weapon Aramasa is a sword that transforms into a scythe, but the scythe's blade is made of energy (that's reminiscent of blood). It fits (Y/N)'s set of abilities so well. Essentially, this Zanpakuto is a weapon that switches forms as oppose to Ichigo who dual wields two swords.

Second is a simple hint to a battle that I feel should've been an obvious matchup for the second invasion, being (Y/N) vs Giselle. They're abilities are so similar that it would be a crime to not have it go down at some point. I'm still looking for more Sternritters that (Y/N) could potentially fight though (don't be afraid to leave some suggestions).

Lastly is the elephant in the room and it's the fact that Yhwach has (Y/N)'s grandfather's body. If you think about it hard enough, you know exactly where this going.
