Welcome everyone to our new story, BLEACH: Duel Spirits Awaken.

Kaizoku: Hello.

Now this story is based off three storie I've read on Fanfiction; YuGiOh: RWBY Chronicles by MaxGundam1998, CardDimension Neptunia! Let's Duel! by SSJC J, and Sword Art Yu-Gi-Oh! by BatEagles. Have you read them Kaizoku?

Kaizoku: Part of them. I gave you my ideas of such stories, but I'm surprised you wanted to do one that I didn't give you...

... Weeeeell... I never played Tails of Bestia, and I couldn't come up with an idea for how to make the other world collide... Okay, maybe My Hero Academia. But if you like, we can make a story with your ideas in mind to. I don't mind. And I'll let you take the lead in writing them. Maybe even do a crossover of the two.

Kaizoku: Hm. Maybe someday.

Well, when you do it, I'll help you out. So without further ado, would you like to do the disclaimer?

Kaizoku: Right. This chapter is a non-profit fan-based crossover. Yu-Gi-Oh! is owned by Konami and Bleach is owned by Tite Kubo, Studio Pierrot, TV Tokyo, and Viz Media. Please support the official release.

On with the chapter.

Chapter 1: Not in the Soul Society Anymore

(Soul Society, during episode 62)

Sosuke Aizen, the former Captain of Squad now turn trader traitor, had everything he need in place. He had Rukia in his clutches. "Now, Rukia Kuchiki," he said, still smiling and mocking her. "After I found you in the world of the living, do you know what the first thing I did was? I went in and eliminated the Central 46." He then started dragging her. "I imagine you've heard a somewhat different story from Isane. She probably told you Sosuke Aizen faked his death and hid his whereabouts. Afterwards, he slaughtered Central 46. But that's not how it happened at all. I killed them as soon as I discovered you, then used my Kyoka Suigetsu on the entire central underground assembly hall. To simplify matters, I made it look as if Central 46 was still alive and holding meetings. In order to do that, one of use remained in the underground assembly hall at all times. Since then, we have taken over functions of Central 46, and we have been issuing all of their orders. To make sure of your arrest, I had these members of Squad 6 take you in. To separate you from the humans, I ordered the return and destruction of your gigai. To evaporate your soul and take the Hōgyoku from inside you, I decided the simplest way would be to have you executed with the Sokyoku. The only time we weren't in the underground assembly hall was the few hours surrounding the two captains' meetings. After that, I pretended to die and hid underground. Because I knew your Ryuka friends might save you. I knew the execution might fail." He starts to take something out of his cloths. "When a foreign object has been planted directly into a soul, there are only two methods by which to remove it. You can use ab intense thermal disruption, like the Sokyoku, which evaporates the soul around the object... or some other method which breaks down the soul's cohesion and allows them to be separated. In the unlikely event the execution by Sokyoku failed, I need to find that other method," he thaked out a metal vial, "which takes up back the Central 46. You see the information I needed could only be found in the underground assembly hall's Darai Shokairo. I spent endless hours pouring over Kisuke Urahara's research. He was the one who developed the technique of implanting a foreign object into a soul." He then opens the vial, making vapers come out of it. "So, I reasoned that the answer to the question of how to remove one was also hidden in his research. Yes." Just then six sharp spike came up around them. "This is that answer."

"No!" Ichigo shouted, fear for Rukia.

Aizen's arm then transformed and he ran it through Rukia's being. He pulled out what he was looking for... And something else with it, a strange device on it. "W-What the hell it this with Hōgyoku?" he asked in shock.

Just then, a jack in the box head of Urahara popped up, tongue sticking out, and a message started playing. "Hello Aizen, if you're hearing this, that means you've gotten the Hōgyoku~ Well good for you~ Now you can have it and an extra-long stay vacation in another reality altogether~ Bye bye~"

"WHAT!" Aizen shouted in fear, trying to drop it. The device then made the Hōgyoku cling to him. The device went off... but the Hōgyoku reacted to it strongly, causing a giant flash of light to be sent thought all of Soul Society, the Living Work, Hueco Mundo, and every square inch of reality.

"W-What's happening!?" Ichigo asked in fear. He was then blown away and teleported somewhere else, with Aizen, Gin, Tōsen and Rukia. "Gah!"

Later, Ichigo woke up. "Ugh... What... What happened...?" He asked. When finally got up, what he saw, shocked the life out of him. He was in outer space. "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE!?" He saw galaxies, planets and stars. "WHO, WHA, HUH!? WHERE IN THE WORLD AM I!?"

"You are in the Duel Monsters world," a voice from behind. Ichigo turned around to see a strange being. He wasn't a Hollow, nor a Soul Reaper. He looked like he was an alien. "More specifically, the NEO Station Hero world, like me. I am Elemental HERO Neos. And you are not of this reality."

"This reality? What are you talking about!?" Ichigo asked.

"This isn't the first-time other beings from different worlds have come to ours, but none as big as yours," Neos stated. He then pinched the bridge of his nose. "And I thought that we wouldn't have to deal with a world merging with ours with team RWBY, but I see that that I was wrong."

"Uh, what are you talking about?" Ichigo asked again, become lost.

"You see Ichigo, when your friend Urahara tried to send the Hōgyoku and Aizen away from there reality, it caused a giant rip in the fabric of reality. He sent him away alright, along with your entire fabric of reality and merged it with the Duel Monster's world because the Hōgyoku's power!" Neos explained. He then added sarcastically, "Congratulations, you and your world are now Duel Monsters."

Ichigo's jaw was to the floor in shock. "H-How do you know all this?"

"The heroes saw a giant dimensional shift that was like that of the big bang," Neos answered. "We then were able to see through it and saw what was happening when it happened."

"So that ruby world you were talking about... What's that about?" Ichigo asked.

"Enemies of their world are planning something major, and we're trying to stop the," Neos answered. "But you need to focus on Aizen. Now that he's here. I fear for all life of Duel Monsters. I was bad enough he wants to be a god, but here he could actually obtain it, even without the Hōgyoku."

"Where do I go to stop him!?" Ichigo exclaimed while raising his question.

"First you must find Rukia, she has been sent to a city called Sky Shores," Neos tells him. "But you'll need to find a duelist first."

"Let me guess. A duelist is someone who brings the duel monsters to life? Including me?" Ichigo wanted Neos to clarify.

"You catch on fast kid, yes, sense you are a Duel Spirit now," Noes explained. Just then five blank cards appeared in front of Ichigo. "Once you find someone, give them your cards, they will be linked to you, sort of a bond between Duel Spirit and Duelest. You must have faith in them, otherwise things could go badly."

"Okay. Which one do I go to?" Ichigo asked, referring to the cards.

"No, these cards are you and your power," Neos clarified. "They'll be what will unlock your powers and will appear in their true form when I teleport you."

"Alright. You can count on me." Ichigo declared.

Neos made a portal in time and space to Sky Shores and where Rukia is. Ichigo jumped through it.

______________________________________________________________________________

(Sky Shore)

Sky Shores is known as the best beach duel city. It's next to the ocean which, when calm, makes a relection of the sky that you thought you were looking at it, day or night. A very populate attraction. This is where our story truly starts.

A young fifteen-year-old, spiky waist long two tone hair, platinum blond in the center, midnight black at the tips, was just waking up in her family's house. This was Yuna Kira, top student of Sky Shores Duel Academy, top of her class in Dueling and Grade, both in PE and Studies. She a kind girl that like to have fun even Turbo Dueling on her D-Board she won on a contest. Now, a lot of people think she's perfect, but make her build a deck or give her a deck she's never used, she can't make a balance deck to save her life, and will lose a few duels before getting the hang of her deck. Yuna also was a mix summoning duelist, meaning she likes using any and all summoning techniques, from Ritual to Pendulum.

Yuna stretched and popped her spin, smiling brightly. "What another great day~" she said to herself. "I wonder if anything cool will happen?"

Just then there was a knock on her door. "Yuna," Yuna's mom, Jade Kira, called to her. "You better hurry up or you'll be late, breakfast is ready."

"Ah! C-Coming, mom!" Yuna exclaimed as she went over for breakfast. When she got down there, she saw her Grandmother, Lilth Kira, and her younger brother, Zeke Kira, and student at Sky Shores Duel Elementary. "Morning~"

"Morning sis," Zeke greeted. "Guess you wanted to sleep in today huh~?"

"Oh hush you," Yuna playfully snapped, ruffling his red and blue hair.

"You might be top in your class dear, but you can't be to lax, otherwise you'll slip," Lilth told her wisely.

"Yes grandmama~"

Jade put Yuna's breakfast in front of her. "Your dad's already at work dear, says he's got a new D-Wheel and Board thought up and had to go make it."

Yuna just smiled and shook her head. "Dad's always coming up with the newest designs for those, he loves making them and I love dueling. I did live the modifications he gave me to my D-Board though~"

"Don't you have school today, sis?" Zeke asked.

"I do, I have an hour," she answered. Eating fast and swallowing. "I need to eat breakfast first. Can't start the day without it. Also, mom, I'll be coming home late, hanging out with Ty and Jane for a while to help my deck building."

"Still can't make a deck to save your life huh~?" Lilth teased her daughter, making her scratch the back of her head.

"I know how, I just have a hard time seeing the strategy in making a balance deck at times..." she answered. "I can't help seeing all combos and just leave it to at least sixty cards maximum..."

"Well, there are some duelists who only use the minimum cards needed: 40. Not only that, but some of those duelists themselves don't even use Extra Deck monsters..." Zeke pointed out.

"Please don't start bro, I already have enough trouble with deck building..." Yuna said, pouting. She finished her food and got to the door where her D-Board was. "I'll see you guys later~" She goes outside and puts her helmet on and road to school.

______________________________________________________________________________

(Sky Shore Duel Academy)

Yuna made it to school, with thirty minutes before class. Sky Shore Duel Academy looked like a modern looking castle, with any duel areas you can thin of, from first generations dueling platforms to Action Duels areas. Yuna then saw a Ty and Jane at the gate waiting for them. Ty Yin was black haired a martial arts that was in Action Duels and Jane Angel was a green hair girl and was a master of mathematics and dueling strategy, right next to Yuna. The three were known as the Top Three Duelist of Sky Shore Duel Academy.

"Hey guys," Yuna called to her best friends. "Did I keep you waiting?"

"Hey, Yuna!" Ty called back.

"Guess you slept in a bit huh?" Jane asked.

"Yeah, I was up late getting all my work done early," Yuna answered. "Get it done early, and I'll have more time to duel others."

"True," Ty agreed nodding. "Get everything else done, you'll have time for yourself.

"Exactly~" Yuna replied.

The three start to head into their class and Jane asked, "So are we heading to the mall later to get more cards?"

"Yeah," Yuna answered. "I still need help with deck building."

"I'm glad you admit your weaknesses," Ty added. He then added sagely. "Work on your weaknesses, and play on your strengths~"

"You're sounding more like your master each day Ty," Yuna stated, giggling.

"Well he isn't wrong~" Ty stated, smiling at her.

______________________________________________________________________________

(Sky Shore's Mall: Later that day)

School had ended and the three had turned their homework in early, having a few days before the next assignment.

"So, what are we looking for?" Ty asked.

"Just anything that's catches your eye, or you need for your deck," Yuna answered.

"Hmm..." Ty hummed, looking for cards.

Jane was looking at dragon card packs think on getting some to see what she gets.

Yuna was looking at the single card stands to see any that caught her eye and see if there was any good ones for a low price.

"What to buy..." Yuna muttered. She then saw a Megamorph card and thought it could be useful in a tight pinch, and it was a good price. She comes back to the others, Jane buying five dragon booster packs, and Ty not finding anything. "So, we got what we need?"

"Gah. I couldn't find anything..." Ty sighed.

"It's okay Ty," Jane said, showing the five booster packs. "We can all look through my packs I got at Yuna's place later, it's her turn to have us over."

"Yeah, that's right," Yuna remember. "Oh, I also found a Megamorph, it could come in handy. I just have this feeling."

"You have a knack for finding cards you need later on, but not putting them in working deck~" Jane stated, smiling at her best friend. Yuna just puffs her cheeks and looks away. The three then laugh and head off. They were walking through the to the beach of their city's name. They then hear something.

"LOOOOOOK OOOOOOOUUUUUT!!!" came a voice from above them. They look up and see an orange hair boy that was see through falling from the sky at them. The three friends scream in fear, hugging each other. The boy crashes into them into a heap.

"Ow...." They all groan in pain.

"What the heck was that...!?" Ty exclaimed.

"Uh... Not my best landing..." the boy that fell on them groan. "I guess I wasn't prepared to be up in the sky..."

"Wha... Who said that?" Ty asked, looking around.

"He did." Yuna answered, pointing on the boy that fell on them.

They all get up and the trio see that they were looking at a Duel Spirit. "Whoa, a real-life Duel Spirit~" Yuna said, stars in her eyes. "I've only ever heard of them."

The Duel Spirit was a bit weirded out. "Uh... Okay...? I have a few things to ask. 1: Is this Sky Shores? 2: Are you three duelists by chance?"

"Uh, yes to both of them. In fact, all three of us are duelists. Well... I'd say these two are. I'm just trying to get myself a deck I can be proud of so I can CALL myself a duelist." Yuna answered.

"Don't sell yourself short Yuna, you're the number 1 student in our class, you just suck at deck building and using a new dick for the first time without knowing the effects and strategies of the deck," Jade stated.

"Oh, come on Jade..." Yuna pouted at her.

"Good, just what I needed," the boy started. "I'm Ichigo Kurosaki and I need to find my friend Rukia, a guy name Neos gave me these cards to give to a duelist to-" The boy named Ichigo started but stopped when he couldn't find the cards he was given. "What the hell, where are they!?" He was looking franticly for them.

Yuna then saw Five Duel Monster cards on the ground and picked them up. Thy were five cards she never saw before. Two Monsters and three Spell Cards. Their names were; Supernatural Human - Ichigo Kurosaki, an Effect Monster, Substitute Soul Reaper - Ichigo Kurosaki, a Synchro Monster, Substitute Soul Reaper Pass, a Spell Card, Shikai Zanpakuto - Zangetsu and Bankai Zanpakuto - Tensa Zangetsu, two Equip Spell Cards. "Whoa, these are cool, I've never seen these kind of cards before."

"Oh. There they are." Ichigo said.

"So you were talking about your friend, Rukia wasn't it?" Ty asked. "Oh, also I'm Ty Yin."

"I'm Jane Angel," Jane introduced.

"Yuna," Yuna greeted, holding the five cards in her hand, "Yuna Kira, and I like these cards of you, I can see all kinds of possibilities if I can get more."

"Nice to meet you three," Ichigo greeted, going to shake their hands, until he saw that he could see right through it. "Okay, that's new," he stated looking over his body. I'm transparent."

"That's normal for Duel Spirits, do you know that?" Ty asked.

"Well, I'm new to all this, due to an incident," Ichigo answered. "But I'll tell you later, right now-"

"Right now, you'll be coming with me, Ichigo Kurosaki," a voice that Ichigo recognized called from behind him. They see it was Gin Ichimaru.

"Gin!?" Ichigo asked in shock.

"Who?" Ty huffed in confusion.

"A traitor from my world that works for Aizen, a manipulative bastered," Ichigo told them.

"My, my, Ichigo, it's been like what, a month sense we last saw each other?" Gin asked, walking to the group. "Although, with how differently time works in someof the worlds in the Duel Monsters' World, it could have only been a short time with you." He then Flash Stepped in front of Ichigo. "Now, come with m-" Gin was then sent back by some force when he went to grab him. "Huh, so you've already bonded with a Duelest huh?"

"So that's how I'm safe, huh?" Ichigo asked.

"Not completely." Gin answered as he pulls out a device and attaches it to his wrist.

"That's a Duel Disk!" Yuna gasped.

"Duel Disk?" Ichigo repeated.

"The only way for me to take you is by beating your duelist in a Dark Duel~" Gin explained, a barrio of his powers surrounding the four teens. "So, Yuna Kira, care for a duel, the price is your life and Ichigo's cards~"

"Don't do this Gin!" Ichigo roars at the man. "Their innocent in all this."

"Ichigo," Yuna called getting her new partners attention. "You're a Duel Spirit here, meaning your powers can only unleashed through Dueling. So if we want to win, we need to work together." Yuna then put Ichigo's cards in her deck and extra deck. She then felt the new card she just bought, and felt she might need it, so she added it. "So you want to duel? I'll duel you, I'll find the combination to lead to victory."

"When I'm victorious, I'll bring your body to Aizen to be study to see what make duelist tick~" Gin stated with that fox smile on his face.

"DUEL!" both shout at the same time.

1st Turn: Gin Ichimaru

Yuna Kira's LP: 4000 VS Gin Ichimaru's LP: 4000

Yuna Kira's Hand: 5 VS Gin Ichimaru's Hand: 5

"I go first. I don't believe Ichigo Kurosaki knows how Duels work, so, being the good spirited duelist you are, I believe you can fill in some gaps. I'm not too keen on teaching anyone myself." Gin shrugged. "I summon Dark Blade in Attack Position!" He declares as he summons a warrior with dark armor and two swords.

Dark Blade

LV: 4

Attribute: DARK

Type: Warrior

ATK: 1800

DEF: 1500

Position: Attack

"Next, I'll set two cards face down and end my turn." He said, setting two cards in his bottom row.

2nd Turn: Yuna Kira

Yuna Kira's LP: 4000 VS Gin Ichimaru's LP: 4000

Yuna Kira's Hand: 6 VS Gin Ichimaru's Hand: 2

"My turn, I draw," Yuna called, drawing her card.

"I've never seen a creature like this," Ichigo stated. "I see energy from it, but nothing liked a Soul Reaper or Hollow, heck, even my friends' powers."

"That's a Duel Monster, A warrior type, DARK Attribute, normal monster," Yuna answered. "Be thankful it doesn't have an effect, although those two face downs are what you should be worried about."

"Why?" Ichigo asked.

"They could be ether Trap or Spell cards that have nasty effects," Ty explained from the sidelines.

"But I'll show him not to mess with me," Yuna stated.

"Oh no, I'm so scared~!" Gin sarcastically wailed.

"I set one monster face down. I then set two cards of my own face down and end my turn!" Yuna declared as she sets three cards, one horizontal in her front row, and two upright in her bottom row.

3rd Turn: Gin Ichimaru

Yuna Kira's LP: 4000 VS Gin Ichimaru's LP: 4000

Yuna Kira's Hand: 3 VS Gin Ichimaru's Hand: 3

"My turn already? Oh dear... I don't know how you think this works. Certainly not like that, right?" Gin asked. "Well, anyway, it's my turn! I draw! I summon Twin-Sword Marauder in attack position!" He declared as he summons another warrior. This warrior has two swords attached to his hands.

Twin-Sword Marauder

Attribute: DARK

Type: Warrior/Effect

LV: 4

ATK: 1600

DEF: 1000

Position: Attack

"Not good," Jane said, worried.

"What's wrong?" Ichigo asked.

"That monster is an effect monsters, and it has a really nasty one at that," Jane told them.

"What would that be?" Ichigo raised his second question.

"I can answer that~ Twin Sword Marauder, when attacking an opponent's Defense Position monster, can inflict piercing battle damage~ Piercing battle damage is when you inflict damage equal to the difference between the attacking monster's attack points and the defending monster's defense points~" Gin answered. "Not only that, but if Twin Sword Marauder attacks a defense position monster, he can attack twice~!"

"And now I see why," Ichigo said.

"Twin Sword Marauder, attack that set monster!" Gin commanded the Twin Sword Marauder. The Marauder attacks Yuna's set monster which is revealed to be a Momonga.

DEF: 100

The Marauder cuts down the Momonga.

Damage: 1600 - 100 = 1500

Yuna LP: 4000 - 1500 = 2500

Yuna grunts from the impact of the explosion the Momonga made. "I activate Nimble Momonga's effect! When it's destroyed by battle and sent to the graveyard, I gain 1000 Life Points!" Yuna declared.

Yuna LP: 2500 + 1000 = 3500

"In addition, I special summon two more Nimble Momonga in face down defense position!" She continued as she set two cards horizontally in her top row.

"I can still attack you with my monster effect though," Gin told her.

"Gr...!" Yuna gritted.

"Twin Sword Marauder, attack her second Nimble Momonga!" Gin ordered as the Marauder does so and cuts it down.

Damage: 1500

Yuna LP: 3500 - 1500 = 2000

"Nimble Momonga's effect! I gain 1000 Life Points!" Yuna reminded.

Yuna LP: 2000 + 1000 = 3000

"Finally, Dark Blade, attack her final Nimble Momonga!" Gin commanded as Dark Blade leaps to do so.

"Why would he do that? If he destroys your last Nimble Momonga, you'll lose all three of them, sure, but he wouldn't be any closer to his main goal than when you two started the duel!" Ichigo asked.

"I activate the Trap Strike Slash!" Gin declared as he flips a pink bordered card that has a monster glowing in an aura of power.

"Uh, Yuna, what does that do?" Ichigo asked. "And what's a trap card?"

"I think I'll answer the second question first: A Trap Card is a card that has a pink border. Those particular cards need to be set first and cannot be activated on the same turn they are set unless a card says they can be. Strike Slash is a lot of trouble. It gives an attacking monster 700 more Attack Points and that monster deals piercing battle damage!" Yuna answered.

"Damn, this deck is like his Zanpakuto, able to extend and cut through anything," Ichigo stated. He then smiles at her. "But I have faith in you Yuna."

"How misplaced your faith is, Ichigo Kurosaki~" Gin scolded. Dark Blade destroys the third and final Nimble Momonga.

DB ATK: 1800 + 700 = 2500

Damage: 2500 - 100 = 2400

Yuna LP: 3000 - 2400 = 600

"Nimble Momonga's effect!" Yuna exclaimed through her pain.

Yuna LP: 600 + 1000 = 1600

"Well then. I end my turn~" Gin declared.

4th Turn: Yuna Kira

Yuna Kira's LP: 1600 VS Gin Ichimaru's LP: 4000

Yuna Kira's Hand: 4 VS Gin Ichimaru's Hand: 3

"You wrong there Gin Ichimaru," Yuna stated. "Ichigo's trust isn't misplaced. I just have to get the cards that show me the right combinations to my victory! I draw!" She drew her card but winced. 'Damn, this real damage it brutal...' she thought, then saw the card she drew, and smirked. "First combination found. Ichigo, you wish to join the fight, right?"

"Yeah." Ichigo answered.

"Well, the time is now!" Yuna declared. "I summon Supernatural Human - Ichigo Kurosaki in Attack Mode!" She exclaimed, summoning Ichigo.

Supernatural Human - Ichigo Kurosaki

Attribute: LIGHT

Type: Warrior/Effect

LV: 4

ATK: 1500

DEF: 1500

Position: Attack

Ichigo jumped onto the field, getting into what was his human body, at around 15 years old. Wearing his school uniform.

"I'm not sure how my body got here, but I'm not complaining," Ichigo stated.

"Now I activate Supernatural Human - Ichigo Kurosaki's effect, when he's summoned to the field, I can add ether a Substitute Soul Reaper Pass spell card, a Mod-Soul monster, or a Gikongan Dispenser spell card," Yuna explained, a card coming out of her deck. She grabbed it and showed it. "I'll add the spell Substitute Soul Reaper Pass. Now I activate the spell."

Substitute Soul Reaper Pass

Spell Card

"When I play this spell card, I can special summon one Substitute Soul Reaper Pass Tuner Token," Yuna explained. Just ten a pass that was on a rope, made of stone and has a scull on it appeared next to Ichigo.

Substitute Soul Reaper Pass Tuner Token

Attribute: EARTH

Type: Rock/Tuner

LV 3

ATK 0

DEF 0

Position: Defense

"Never seen this before," Ichigo said, looking at the token," Ichigo stated.

"What's that going to do?" Gin asked, not worried at all.

"You'll see~" Yuna smiled. "I have the combination set, now I tune level 3 Substitute Soul Reaper Pass Tuner Token to level 4 Supernatural Human - Ichigo Kurosaki~!"

"Wait, tune?" both Ichigo and Gin asked.

Just then the Token turned into three green rings and Ichigo was flying to them.

"Whoa, whoa, what's going on!?" Ichigo asked in shock.

"Just go with it Ichigo," ty called out. "Trust us."

Ichigo had his eyes close then opened them, a determined look on his face. "If you say it's fine, then I'll trust you!" he stated, jumping into the rings, his body becoming transparent and orange outlined, four green lights appeared. His body then disappeared, and the lights were left in the rings. Then a beam of light appeared.

Cue: Number One from Bleach

"I call upon the one who protects! The one who fights for those that can't! The orange haired reaper of souls! I Synchro Summon!" Yuna chanted, the beam coming to the ground. "Come forth, Level 7, Substitute Soul Reaper - Ichigo Kurosaki!" Ichigo land pulling out his Zanpakuto, which was back to it's first ever form, dreassed in the black robs he was garbs in when they met.

Substitute Soul Reaper - Ichigo Kurosaki

Attribute: LIGHT

Type: Zombie/Synchro/Effect

LV 7

ATK 2500

DEF 2000

Position: Attack

"Whoa..." Ichigo gasped.

'That doesn't matter. If she attacks my Dark Blade, she'll have a tough time. What will be your endgame... once I activate Justi-Break, which activates whenever a Normal Monster is attacked? The card will destroy every single monster that isn't a Normal Monster in Attack Position!' Gin thought.

"Now I activate the Spell Card Book of Moon! This card allows me to target one face up monster and set it face down! I choose Dark Blade!" Yuna declared, flipping Dark Blade face down.

"What!?" Gin gasped.

"You seem shocked, Gin. What, did your plan not come to fruition? You ain't Aizen, buddy!" Ichigo cockily exclaimed.

"How dare you...!" Gin growled.

"I've got 3 cards left! I can do this!" Yuna declared to herself. "I activate the Equip Spell, Shikai Zanpakuto - Zangetsu!" She exclaimed as Ichigo's sword is replaced by the Zangetsu sword. "This card increases Ichigo's ATK and DEF by 1000!"

Shikai Zanpakuto - Zangetsu

Equip Spell Card

Ichigo Kurosaki ATK: 2500 + 1000 = 3500

Ichigo Kurosaki DEF: 2000 + 1000 = 3000

"But I'm not done yet! I activate my second Equip Spell: Bankai Zanpakuto - Tensa Zangetsu!" Yuna kept going.

Bankai Zanpakuto - Tensa Zangetsu

Equip Spell Card

"Bankai!" Ichigo roars, his body enveloped in light. His cloths were now torn and there was red inside of his robs. His Zanpakuto now a black katana. "Tensa Zangetsu!"

"Now when Ichigo is equipped with Bankai Zanpakuto - Tensa Zangetsu, he gains another 2000 ATK and DEF!"

Ichigo Kurosaki ATK: 3500 + 2000 = 5500

Ichigo Kurosaki DEF: 3000 + 2000 = 5000

"You said my faith in Yuna was misplaced," Ichigo smirked, making Gin growl in anger. "I say I placed it in the right person."

"Ichigo, attack Twin Sword Marauder!" Yuna ordered as Ichigo teleports to the Twin Sword Marauder who is shocked to see him in front of him. "Tenburenjin!" She shouted as Ichigo launches the Marauder into the air with a sword slash then immediately cuts it repeatedly before the Marauder explodes, dealing big damage to Gin.

Damage: 5500 - 1600 = 3900

Gin LP: 4000 - 3900 = 100

Gin slid back a bit from all the energy that he was hit with.

"Damn, we were off by 100 Life Points in beating him," Ichigo stated.

"It's okay Ichigo," Yunsa told him.

"Don't make proclamations that aren't true. End your turn... and I'll show you what I mean." Gin declared.

"...I end my turn." Yuna said.

5th Turn: Gin Ichimaru

Yuna Kira's LP: 1600 VS Gin Ichimaru's LP: 100

Yuna Kira's Hand: 1 VS Gin Ichimaru's Hand: 4

"Now Ichigo's effect activates," Yuna stated. "He gains 300 ATK and DEF for each turn he's on the field."

Ichigo Kurosaki ATK: 5500 + 300 = 5800

Ichigo Kurosaki DEF: 5000 + 300 = 5300

"My turn~ I draw~" he said, smiling, his smile grew when he saw the card. "Oh, Yuna, what was it you said to me before? First combination found, was it~?"

"I don't like the look on his face..." Ty and Ichigo stated at the same time.

"I summon Beast King Barbaros!" Gin declared as he summons a beast that has the bottom body of a puma and the upper body of an anthropomorphic beast.

"Wait, he can just do that!?" Ichigo gasped.

"Yes, but there's a price to it. If Beast King Barbaros is summoned without tributing first, its attack points become 1900.

BKB ATK: 3000 --> 1900

"And now, I Flip Summon Dark Blade then activate the Ritual Spell Aizen's Right Hand Man!" Gin exclaimed.

"Uh, Yuna, what's a Ritual Spell?" Ichigo asked.

"A Ritual Spell card is a spell card used to summon a Ritual Monster. Ritual Monsters are in their user's Main Deck and can only be summoned by specific Ritual Spell cards. Not only that, but you have to either tribute monsters you control or discard monsters from your hand to the graveyard with combined levels are equal to or higher than the monster summoned by this Ritual Spell." Yuna explained.

"That's right. And now, by tributing monsters whose combined levels are 11 or higher, I can Ritual Summon my Ritual Monster!" Gin exclaimed as he tributes Beast King Barbaros and Dark Blade to the graveyard.

Combined LV: 4+ 8 = 12

"I Ritual Summon... Former Soul Reaper Captain - Gin Ichimaru!" He shouted as he summons himself to his side of the field.

Former Soul Reaper Captain - Gin Ichimaru

DEF: 2500

Position: Attack

Both Ichigo and Yuna were shocked. "You're a Duel Monster as well?" they asked.

"He's a Dueling Duel Spirit," Ty told them. "We learned about them in history from former duelest. He must have a high enough power to be here and duel you both."

"Well he was one of the Captains of Soul Society, I'm not surprise he can do this," Ichigo stated, getting ready for anything.

"I now equip my other self with the Equip Spell, Shikai Zanpakuto - Shinzo!" Gin declared, equipping his other self with the weapon. "This card allows him to gain 1000 Attack Points."

Shikai Zanpakuto – Shinzo

Equip Spell Card

Gin Ichimaru's ATK: 3000 + 1000 = 4000

"You think that's supposed to intimidate me, Gin!?" Ichigo exclaimed.

"No, but this effect WILL. My other self's effect activates! By cutting his Attack Points in half until the End Phase, he can attack directly!"

Gin Ichimaru's ATK: 4000 / 2 = 2000

Yuna LP Reminder: 1600

"Yuna!" Ichigo, Ty and Jane called out in worry.

"Shoot her dead. SHINSO!" Gin shouted as his Duel Spirit attacks directly. The attack emits a large cloud of smoke. "I've won. Now to take you to Lord Aizen."

"...Sorei wa dou ka na? (Is that what you think?)" Yuna asked, appearing fine, surprising everyone.

"How did you...!?" Gin gasped.

"With this Trap Card." Yuna said, revealing her trap card which has a monster protecting another from some green attack. "Impenetrable Attack. When activating it, I can either A: Prevent my monster(s) from being destroyed, or B: Prevent myself from taking any damage. And as you can see here..." She trailed off as her Life Points stayed at 1600. "I chose Option B."

Impenetrable Attack

Trap Card

Gin smile fell, and he gritted his teeth. "You just got lucky..." he stated, irritated that he didn't finish her off.

"Luck, a bit yes, but I just had the combination to win this game," Yuna stated.

"I end my turn" Gin stated.

"My turn, I draw," Yuna stated drawin her card. "Now Ichigo's effect activates, he gains another 300 ATK and DEF for another turn on the field."

Ichigo Kurosaki ATK: 5800 + 300 = 6100

Ichigo Kurosaki DEF: 5300 + 300 = 5600

"And now it's time to finish you off, Gin!" Ichigo declared.

"Indeed it is! Ichigo attacks Gin Ichimaru!" Yuna exclaimed as Ichigo charges up an attack and raises his arms high into the air, still charging up power.

"GETSUGA TENSHO!!!" Ichigo shouted as he shoots a gigantic slash wave at Gin which obliterates him.

Damage: 6100 - 4000 = 2100

Gin LP: 100 --> 0

WINNER: YUNA KIRA

Gin was flown back and lands on his back. "GAH! Damn, I lost to a little girl..." he growled out, trying to get back up.

"It's over Gin, you lost," Ichigo told him.

"I may have lost this time," Gin started, his smile returning, and a portal open up behind him, "but I'll come back later and with better cards and monsters, and I'm not the only one ha will be after you~" He then leapt through the portal.

"Hey! Get back here!" Ichigo damned, trying to go after him. Right when he was about to reach the portal, it closed. "Damn, he got away...!"

Yuna stretched a bit to try and feel better. "And when he comes back, we'll be here to stop him with you."

"Count us in," Ty added, pointing to himself.

"I'll help as well, agents him and this Aizen's cronies," Jane stated.

Ichigo smiled, but then light enveloped him, and he was back to his old Soul Reaper form. "Guess that staying like that is temporary," Ichigo stated, seeing that he was see-through again.

They all saw it was getting late. "Guess we'll have to look for your friend tomorrow Ichigo," Yuna stated.

"Guess so, but I have no place to stay," Ichigo stated.

"You could stay at my place!" Yuna suggested.

"Is it really okay?" Ichigo asked.

"Well I am your duelist, so it's okay," Yuna stated.

"Guess you're right," Ichigo said, scratching the back of his head.

"Well, we'll see you guys tomorrow," Ty said, walking back home waving.

"We'll catch up with you two tomorrow to help you find your friend," Jane called out, walking home too.

"See you guys later," Yuna said, she turned to head home.

(Later: Kira Residence)

The two had made it to her home, ready to head inside. "So will your family be able to see me?"

"I'm not sure," Yuna answered. "But I've been told we can see Duel Spirits."

"Well, I guess this is my life now. Not that I'm complaining." Ichigo declared.

"I think it's going to be a lot more fun~" Yuna said, both walking in. She then called out, "I'm home~ I also have a new friend with me."

"Oh, hello dear," Jade call out to her daughter. She then comes out and sees Ichigo. "Oh, you got your own Duel Spirit?"

"Wait, sis got a Duel Spirit?" asked Zeke, coming out from the game room.

"Uh... Hi..." Ichigo just said.

"Ah, It's been a while sense I've seen a Duel Spirit," Lilith said, walking over to Yuna and Ichigo. "So what's your name kid?"

"Uh, it's Ichigo, Ichigo Kurosaki."

"Well it's ice too meet you Ichigo," Jade stated. "Will you be staying with us?"

"Uh, yes ma'am," he answered, rubbing the back of his head. "I'm a new Duel Spirit you see, and I need to find a friend, but we got caught by someone from my world-"

"And Yuna helped you fight them?" Lilith asked. Making Ichigo nod.

"I'm Grateful to her and her help," Ichigo stated. "And now I need a place to stay for the night and look for my friend, Rukia, tomorrow with Yuna and her friends."

"I see, well dinner is almost ready, and I'm Jade, Yuna's mother,"

"I'm Lilith, Yuna's grandmother."

"Name's Zeke, her coolest little bro ever," Zeke stated proudly, and getting his hair ruffled by Yuna.

"You're my only brother," Yuna stated, with a smile. She then looked at her mom. "Dad working late again?"

"Afraid so dear," her mother told her. "They had some trouble with some of the D-Boards and D-wheels."

"It's okay, I know whe wants to be here," Yuna stated.

"But he did send you a gift," she stated, holding out a card to her. It was a Polymerization spell card. "He said that he had a feeling you'd need it later on when you get Fusion Monsters."

"\Yuna smiled. Her dad might work hard, but he loved his family more than anything. She took it and told her mother, "If I don't see dad tomorrow, please tell him I said thank you and Ilove him."

"Will do dear, now dinners ready, I'll set out another plate for Ichigo."

The four then got to the table to eat dinner.

(Unknow Location: Aizen's Base)

Aizen was watch everything that was happening, in Sky Shores, to the Duel Monsters World and even his own world that fused with the Duel Monster's world. Gin appeared behind him, bowing. "I see you were unsuccessful in obtaining Ichigo and his Duelist."

"I have failed you immeasurably, Lord Aizen..." Gin sighed.

"It is no concern," he waves off. "We are still new to this world and it's way of fighting. We just need to make more monsters and train better. Have more Hollows ready to evolve, get more training, and have Tōsen be ready."

"Right away sir," Gin obeyed and flashstepped away.

Aizen was looking at the screen still, head in his fist. "You tried to send me away Urahara, to save the world~ But you may have just given me more power and a way to create my ideal world~"
