Chapter 3: The First Stage of Training


This scene takes place with Y/N who opened his eyes and finds himself in some sort of dark space. 

Y/N: Huh? Where am I? (looks around) Is this some sort of dimension? 

He then looked down and his own Station of Awaking which had pictures or imagines of himself and several individuals. Some that look familiar to him while most he's unfamiliar with. 

Y/N: What is this place? 

Just then, he saw a light which fade as it revealed to be a woman that has long fair colored hair and purple eyes. 

Y/N: Who is that? 

It looked like she was talking to him, but he couldn't hear her voice. 

Y/N: Um, are you trying to say something? I can't hear you. 

The woman then smiled before she float and hugged him, which surprised him as he felt her warmth flowing into him.

Y/N's thoughts: Wh- What is this feeling? I feel so, warm. 

Y/N slowly closed his arms, embracing her warmth. However, he then felt something grabbed him by the arms.

Y/N: Huh? 

Y/N opens his eyes, only to widen in shock as he saw a monster with a white mask, white long hair, red eyes, horns, black armor around its body, and a hole in its chest in the woman's place. 

Y/N's thoughts: (shocked) W-What the hell is that?! (realized) Wait... a white mask, and a hole in its chest... Is that, a Hollow?

Hollow: Give it to me.

Y/N: Huh? 

Hollow: Give me your body. Your Heart. Your very soul. I want everything from you!

Soon, it charges some sort of purple energy from its horns.

Y/N: No! Stop! Don't do it, please!

Just before it could fire, the dark space area faded out as Y/N gasps with his eyes open before he stood up, breathing and panting hardly. He looked around and notice he was in his room before he sighs in relief. 

Y/N: What was that? I thought it was a dream but, it looked so real. 

(timeskip) 

The next morning, Y/N was seen walking through the street as he arrive at his destination which is Kisuke's shop.

Y/N: This is it. I hope Ichigo regains her Soul Reaper powers. 

Y/N opens the door as he walk inside when a red hair kid saw me.

Boy: Hey, what you doing here? 

Y/N: Sorry to bother you, kid, is Kisuke here? 

Boy: He's inside. Why? 

???: Hey, Jinta. Let him in, he's my friend. 

Y/N looked and noticed Ichigo was in her Soul Reaper form with a new Zanpakutō. 

Y/N: Oh my god! You're a Soul Reaper again. 

Ichigo: I know. And I got a new sword, pretty awesome right? 

Y/N: Yeah, it looks badass. 

Jinta: Hey, Kisuke! Carrot top's boyfriend is here!

Ichigo's eyes twitch and a light blush appears on her face. Tessai walked into the room with a tray of yunomi in his hand.

Tessai: Oh, Y/N. I didn't expect you until any sooner. 

Y/N: It's fine, is he here. 

Tessai: He is. I'll go get him for you.

???: Don't brother... I'm already up.

They turned and see Kisuke walking in. 

Kisuke: So, Y/N, are you ready to begin? 

Y/N: I am. Do you place where I could train without causing destruction? 

Kisuke: Sure do. Follow me.

Kisuke pulls up the floorboard to reveal a hidden entrance. Everyone climb down the ladder and enter a room that amazes Y/N.

Kisuke: No way, this place is amazing! Who would have guessed that all this time, there was a huge subterranean training ground under my store?! 

Y/N felt his eyes twitch as he glares at Kisuke with an annoyed expression on his face. 

Ichigo: Just shut up. You don't need to shout for him. Obviously, you knew this place was down here. He's already surprised enough. 

Kisuke: Okie-Dokie then.

Y/N: So this is where I start my training?

Kisuke: That's right. 

Y/N: I have to admit, it's pretty impressive. 

Kisuke: (chuckles) So then, wanna get down to business? 

Y/N: Yeah, let's just get on with it. First is my Keyblade season before I'll become a Soul Reaper, right? 

Kisuke: That's right. You're going to have to face Ichigo for your Keyblade training season. 

Y/N: (surprised) You want me and Ichigo to fight? 

Kisuke: You need to know learn the basics of how to wield as a sword before you can master them. Ichigo, you don't mind?

Ichigo: No, not at all. (draws her Zanpakutō) Careful Y/N, I won't go easy you just because you're my friend. 

Y/N: (summoned his Keyblade) Neither am I. Let's go!

Y/N and Ichigo charged and clashed blades at each other which caused a shockwave. The began to fight while Kisuke, Tessai, and Jinta watched them. 

The two had been clashing blades with each other, blocking and parrying, Ichigo seems to be winning while Y/N was struggling.

Y/N's thoughts: She's strong. Compare to Renji, her speed and power are above his. I can feel her spiritual pressure increasing. 

As Ichigo pushes Y/N back fiercely, he feels a bit of damage, but he doesn't give up. 

Y/N: Still, I won't give up. I will get stronger to save Rukia! 

He felt a pulse of resolve within him as his body was enveloped in a light blue and sparkly aura.

Tessai: Kisuke. 

Kisuke: Yeah, he's tapping into his Keyblade's power. 

Ichigo was surprised before she jumps at Y/N and brings out her Zanpakutō for a downward slash.

Y/N: Flowmotion!

Y/N dodged her as he jumped on one wall to another with great speed. 

Ichigo's thoughts: He's fast. His speed as increased different the first time he wielded his Keyblade. 

Soon, he came down behind Ichigo, causing her to look back in surprised.

Y/N: Sonic Blade!

Y/N then unleashes a technique that lets him execute a number of successive thrusting attacks at Ichigo, damaging her. She grunts in pain before she managed to block the last strike and pushed him back. 

The two stared at each other before Ichigo smirks and puts her sword on her back with a white cloth wrapped around it. 

Ichigo: (smile) Got to say, I'm impressed. You've gotten strong. 

Y/N: (de-summons his Keyblade) Yeah, I'll keeping getting stronger for as long as it takes.

Kisuke: (claps) Not bad, you managed to learn a few moves. Your spirit energy has increased along with your swordsmanship. 

Y/N: (nods) Thank you, Kisuke. 

Kisuke: Now that you learned the basics of how to wield a sword and a few Keyblade moves, are you ready for some real training?

Y/N: You bet I am! Let's get this over with!

Kisuke: Always be careful what you ask for. 

He raises his cane and hits Y/N in the forehead, causing him to fell on the ground. He sit back up and growl at him.

Y/N: What the hell was that for-

Y/N stops when he saw his body on the ground with a chain connected to his body. He look down to see the chain attached to his body.

Y/N: (shocked) What the hell is this?

Kisuke: Surprise Y/N? That chain that connects you and your body is called the Chain of Fate. 

Y/N: Chain of Fate...?

Kisuke: That's right. You see the Chain of Fate plays a part in the form a spirit will take on after death. A spirit whose regrets revolve around a person has its chain bound to that person and becomes an obsessed spirit, if the spirit's regrets involve a location, or if some incident happened at that location which caused its death, the spirit's chain will be bound to that location and it would become an "earthbound spirit" or Jibakurei.

Y/N: What happens if the soul is out of the body?

Kisuke: Well they experience great pain coming from the chain and might feel the need to break it. However, breaking the chain would render the soul unable to return to its physical body.

Y/N: Are you kidding me?!

Kisuke: Afraid not. Now let's begin!

Y/N: (sighs, gets on his feet) So how are we going to start?

Kisuke: All right, let's bring out your opponent, and then we can start. (shouts out) Warrior, are you ready for battle?! 

Y/N turns around to see a girl holding karate gears in her arm. She had round purple eyes and long, black hair with a purple tint. It is parted down the middle, with two strands of her bangs in the middle of her face, opposing each other. The rest of her hair is in pigtails with pink ties.

Girl: Nice to see you, Y/N. 

Y/N: (confused) A girl? 

Kisuke: Here's your first lesson. You must go up against Ururu one on one. 

Y/N: Huh? I thought I will be facing Ichigo in this training, not her.

Kisuke: I'm sorry to say but Ichigo will be too much for you in this lesson.

Y/N's thoughts: Damn, got no argument from that statement.

Kisuke: The rules are quite simple. Lesson one is over when one of you is no longer able to continue the match. If you can, I suggest going for the knockout punch. 

Y/N: Don't be stupid! I'm not going to beat up a little kid! 

Kisuke: It's always dangerous to underestimate your opponent, Y/N. 

Ichigo: He's right. I wouldn't underestimate Ururu if I would you.

Y/N: You too, Ichigo?!

She tosses Y/N the white karate gear which contains a headband and a set of gloves as he look at her confused.

Ururu: Please put on all this protective gear, Y/N. (puts on own protective gear) I don't want to kill you. (throws a punch) 

Y/N's thoughts: Is she for real? There is no way I'm going to beat up a little kid.

Sambamhaw: It was at this moment that he knew. He fucked up. 

Y/N widens his eyes when she suddenly appears in front of him. He barely dodges her attack, creating a large explosion of force and causing the area to fill with smoke.

Kisuke: (chuckles) We tried to warn him, didn't we? 

He, Ichigo, Tessai, and Jinta watch the dust cloud begin to clear, revealing Ururu standing alone.

Jinta: So where'd he go? I don't see him anymore. 

Tessai: Do you suppose he's dead? 

Kisuke: Hard to say. 

Ichigo: I doubt it. He's a tough person. 

Ichigo was correct as she saw Y/N tumbles out of the cloud, rolling on the ground as he fell flat on his face.

Jinta: Oh, there he is. 

Y/N got up and ran toward Ururu.

Tessai: It looks like he's going after her. 

But Y/N ran passed her, causing Ururu chase after him.

Jinta: Hey, he just ran right past her!

Y/N grab the karate gear as he tried to put him on.

Y/N: What that fuck was that?! That speed and power of hers give Supergirl and Wonderwoman a run for their money! Damn it! How do you put these on?!

Kisuke: Strap the headgear onto your forehead, Y/N!

Y/N stop as he follows Kisuke's instruction.

Y/N: Like this?

Kisuke: That's right! Now yell as loud as you can, "Amazing headband of justice in place! Amazing armor of justice protect me now!" Go on, say it! 

Y/N: Okay, I got it.

But Y/N throws it on the ground and glared at Kisuke.

Y/N: Like hell, I'll fall for that crap! You would try to make me say it, didn't you?!

Kisuke: Whoa, you figure it out. Ichigo hasn't found out until later.

Y/N: Wait... She actually said that?!

Kisuke: (smirk) Indeed. I rather surprise she say that-

Ichigo: (glares) One more word from you and I'll kick your ass.

Kisuke: Hey Y/N, look out behind you. 

Y/N: (turns behind him) Hmm?

Y/N saw Ururu diving toward him as he dodges out of the way.

Y/N: Damn it... I guess I have to figure it out on my own.

Y/N places the headgear onto his forehead as it attaches itself. He put on the gloves as he turn around and faces her. 

Y/N: Alright, bring it on!

But Y/N dodge her attack which craters the ground with another punch as started to run, causing Ururu to chase after him.

Y/N: Damn it, this shit is useless! If I don't stop running around, I'll die!

Y/N widens his eyes when he suddenly realizes something.

Y/N's thoughts: Wait... If I can keep running, that means I can match her speed. In that case...

Y/N stop as he turn around and faces her, causing her to be surprised.

Y/N: Come on...

Ururu throws a punch to the face as Y/N moves his head, causing them to be a surprise as Ichigo and Kisuke smile.

Y/N's thoughts: It worked. Now let's try and fight back.

Y/N starts to fight back as Ururu running backward, dodging his attacks.

Y/N's thoughts: I just need to get behind her and to knock her out. No physical damage who so ever. I just need to find an opening to do it.

Y/N throws a fist, causing Ururu to move her head. But it grazes Ururu's cheek, which begins to bleed. 

Y/N's thoughts: Oh no! I didn't mean to hit her face!

Y/N widens his eyes when he saw her pupils change as Ururu jump on his arm, raises her leg in the air before delivering a powerful kick across the face, sending him to the wall. Kisuke appears behind her as he grabs her leg.

Kisuke: Safe! 

The smoke clear as Y/N find himself getting caught by Tessai. 

Y/N pushes him off as he got onto his feet and looks at Kisuke with determination.

Y/N: One more time, please. 

Kisuke: Congratulations. 

Y/N: Huh?

Kisuke: I pronounce lesson one cleared. 

Y/N: Why? I got my ass kick by her.

Kisuke: I never said anything about you having to actually win the fight in order to clear the lesson, did I? 

Y/N: What...?

Kisuke: The fact is, Y/N, Ururu here has the fighting skills to counter even full-fledged Soul Reapers. A mere human would never have a chance of defeating her outright. When I saw you fought against the Lieutenant Soul Reaper by yourself to protect Ichigo, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. But to imagine my surprise you able to keep up with her and Ichigo.

Y/N: Than what the point of this lesson anyway?

Kisuke: The entire point of that lesson was to determine in a one-shot battle whether or not you could dodge Ururu's first attack. Spirit energy increases a lot faster when the soul is in danger of being destroyed. We just needed to find out if you'd be able to raise yours fast enough to dodge that fatal punch. 

Y/N: And I'm guessing if I don't I'll die.

Ichigo: That's right.

Y/N: Damnit! Why didn't you guys tell me in the first place?!

Kisuke: I wasn't worried about it. I had a lot of faith that you'd be successful. 

Y/N: (gasps in surprise) 

Ichigo: I believe you able to dodge that no problem. 

Y/N widens his eyes as no one ever believes in him. He'd always look down upon by society due to the fact that he doesn't have the same strength as them when he was a kid. But hearing someone believing in him feels kinda weird.

Kisuke: Well, so far, so good. Now then, let's celebrate your passing, shall we? 

Y/N: Huh? 

Suddenly, Tessai, who is wielding an axe, chopped off Y/N's chain causing him to be surprised.

Y/N: What the hell?!

Kisuke: Now, let's continue with your second lesson. 

Chapter 3 ended.

Now that we've passed lesson one, it's time for lesson two when we will become a Soul Reaper and try not to become a Hollow. 

Here's an idea for our Keyblade, do you its power will allow us to wield the powers of different Soul Reaper's Zanpakutōs? 

Let me know what you guys think at the comments below, peace out and enjoy the story!
