Chapter 2: Ichigo vs Fullbringers

Previously on "son born in darkness"

Ichigo: (looks at Ginjo) "Shall we begin?"

Ginjo: (glares at Ichigo) ". . . . . . Yukio!"

Yukio: "Right"

Yukio began to mess with his wrist computer and out of the ground came Black digital walls that began to rise up surrounding the six fullbringers before seaming them away. The black mass in front of the two takes shape and forms a tower like structure before a yellow glowing gate appears in front of them.

Uryu: "What's the plan Ichigo?"

Ichigo: "Well for starters" (pushes Uryū back) "you can leave this to me" (walks towards the yellow gate)

Uryu: (falls on his butt) "What are you doing!?"

Ichigo: "I caused this mess" (turns away from him) "so I'll take care of this, you just wait there Uryu, and see if you can find Orihime and Chad, though I think someone already got that handled, but it's better to be safe than sorry"

Ichigo walks forward and enters through the yellow gate, that then disappears as Ichigo enters Yukio's game, and there are no way outs. Uryu could only watch as his friend goes to face his enemies alone, with no back up nor friends by his side this time.

Uryu: "Ichigo..... be careful"

The world around Hollow Ichigo began to change, and started to take the shape of a circular ballroom of some kind, but it also became an arena in some way. The area was large enough for battle between two people, and that's how many were right now in this room, it was just Ichigo and Giriko.

Giriko: "Well would you look at that"

Ichigo turned around to meet his cocky and overconfident first opponent, the butler that has become quite hyper since being granted the powers he has now. It was Giriko Kutsuzawa, who had a weird and creepy smile on his face. 

Giriko: "It would seem that I will be your first opponent young Kurosaki"

Thanks to the boost in power, Ginjo had given Giriko, his clothes had completely changed or is better to say that some things changed. Parts of his outfit were covered with casts that had cloak arrows on them, plus his eyepatch had become more fancy.

Ichigo: ". . . . . Hey Yukio!" (looks away and started looking around) "you mind switching this guy for another opponent! like I don't know, someone that's not him"

Ichigo completely ignored Giriko, the butler watched on in annoyance as Ichigo continued to look for Yukio. The gamer in dialogue is watching the two through a screen, in a secret room that he built himself to hide in. Back in the ballroom, Ichigo continued to shout out for Yukio with his distorted voice, and Giriko was starting to run out of patience.

Ichigo: "Oi Yukio! are you even listening!"

Giriko: "Ahem!"

Ichigo: (lazily turns towards Giriko) "What is it old timer?"

Giriko: "Hmph! such disrespect young Kurosaki, haven't your parents ever taught you about respecting your elders "

Ichigo: "They have, the problem is that I only give that respect to those that deserve it, and frankly I don't think you deserve my respect"

Giriko: "Oooooh is that how it's going to be now young Kurosaki? and what's this I'm hearing about you wanting a new opponent? are you trying to say that I'm not strong enough to face you in this abomination you've become "

Ichigo: "What if I am?"

Giriko: "Heheh you may have power once again young Kurosaki, but that cockiness of yours will ultimately be your downfall"

Ichigo: "I'm not being cocky, I'm just stating the facts"

Giriko: "Facts you say? then allow me to tell you my fact, because I know a better way to prove to people like you that the only way to take you down is with brute force itself"

Ichigo: "Hmm?"

Ichigo watches on, he sees Giriko raise his right hand towards the left side of his body where a small number three switch appears, and Giriko grabs it with two figures and slowly begins to turn it around clockwise. After he did that he bows in front of Ichigo like a gentleman, but this gentleman body bulks up all of a sudden. His skin turns green and his body just doesn't grow bigger muscles, but the body itself also increases as Giriko's height enlarges, and he transforms himself into this green muscular knock off version of the hulk.

Giriko: "SO! WHAT DO YOU THNK! TIME NEVER LIES, IT IS CAPABLE OF DOING THINGS LIKE THIS"

While boosting himself up and flexing a bit of his muscle, Giriko stares down creepily at Ichigo, who with a bored expression, that was hidden behind his mask, looks up at the hulking figure.

Giriko: "THE DEAL I'VE MADE WITH THE GODS OF TIME, THEY HAVE GRANTED ME IMMENSE POWER ON HOW SIMPLE THE CONDITIONS OF THE EVENTS THAT TRANSPIRE GO ON"

Ichigo: "Oh yeah? and what kind of deal did you make that they gave you this much power?"

Giriko: (stomps on the ground) "QUITE SIMPLE YOUNG KUROSAKI!" (extends his right arm forwards with a crazy smile on his face) "ITS THE MOST SIMPLEST OF DEALS" (clenches his fist) "THE INCREASE IN POWER ITSELF" (looks directly down at Ichigo) "AND THAT IS WHY ,BY FACT YOUNG KUROSAKI, I AM THE STRONGEST FULLBRINGER TO HAVE EV—"

"SLASH!"

Giriko speech was stopped when he felt something split his body into two pieces.

Giriko: "IT.CANT.BEEEEE!!!"

Giriko's hulk like body began to separate into two pieces, perfectly splitting into sides that fall down to their respected directions while blood slowly came out from the two sides. As for Ichigo, well you can find him standing behind the now split body of Giriko, wiping the blood off Zangetsu, and not even looking back at his work.

White Zangetsu: (in Ichigo's mind) "You know what? I actually thought this was going to be an interesting battle"

Ichigo: "Yeah well" (turns to the now dead corpse) "we shouldn't expect much from this guys honestly"

Soon after defeating Giriko a yellow door opens in front of Ichigo, showing the way to the next location, level, and battle.

Ichigo: "So that's the type of game Yukio decided for us huh? a boss clearing game"

Yukio: (voiced through an intercom) "What else would you have expected"

A screen appears in front of Ichigo and it shows Yukio sitting in a chair, smirking at the hollow soul reaper while relaxing wherever he is.

Yukio: "Did you really have to end the geezer like that? I mean you do know he was trying to show off a little bit of his skills"

Ichigo: "Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not here to waste my time with you knock offs"

Yukio: "Knock offs? now what do you think your talking about? we fullbringers are the next generation that will take over after you old bastards, who call themselves Soul reapers, run out of business"

Ichigo: "New generation? is that what you idiots think? well then sorry to burst your bubbles but this group of yours isn't going to do anything to the soul reapers, and heck I think even low level soul reapers could take you guys down"

Yukio: (glares) "Oh yeah! then come on then Ichigo Kurosaki, clear the levels and reach your prize heh that's if you can take us all down that is"

The hologram screen disappears and Ichigo just disappointedly shakes his head before making his way towards the yellow gate. He enters the next room with Zangetsu on his shoulder as he goes through into entering the next level. And in this level, the surrounding have changed to a more open area with a water like substance as the floor, and stone like pillars everywhere.

Ichigo: "Alright then" (walks forward while looking around) "who's next on the list of fullbrings?"

Jackie: "Up here!"

Ichigo looks to one of the infinite amount of stone pillars around him, and spots Jackie on top of one of those infinite stone pillars. She's dressed in her new upgraded white and fashionable outfit, black cap, and she had three motors on her, ones attached to her right shoulder, and the other two are attached to her legs.

She stood seriously on the stone pillar while staring down at Ichigo with determine expression. Once their eyes were fully locked on one another, they had a silent stare down. And as silent things were getting, Jackie decides to go down the pillar she was standing on, and lands straight upon the water below her, creating a big splash that makes small waves that reach Ichigo feet. Ichigo narrows his eyes down at water and then looks back at Jackie with his serious expression now changing into a calm one when he lets out a bit of breath, and Jackie catches on to that.

Jackie: "What with expression? I can't really tell by the mask, but you seem quite calm now" (crosses his arms) "you don't see me as a threat? is that it?"

Ichigo: "Maybe I am or maybe I'm just tricking you on letting your guard down, who knows really"

Jackie: "Hmph! don't you dare play games with me Kurosaki!"

Ichigo: "Well, we are technically playing a game right now, so I hope that doesn't confuse your thought process there"

Jackie: "How about you stop making jokes and let's get this over with"

Ichigo: "Alright" (spun Zangetsu before stabbing him to the ground with the chain still attached to his arm) "come at me Jackie"

Jackie: "What? Why did you plant your sword on the ground? aren't you going to attack first?"

Ichigo: (motions to her) "Ladies first"

Jackie: "Huh? I see you're only narrowing down things upon the outlook you have on my appearance" (glares) "are you underestimating me because I'm a woman?"

Ichigo: "Nah just wanted to see what kind of boost my fullbring powers gave you" (notices the motorcycle pipe) "so racking of that, what's with the thing that looks like you got it from a motorcycle? you gonna rev up the engine or something?"

Jackie: "Well if your not going to attack first, shut up and watch dumbass"

Ichigo decided to keep his mouth shut, he watched Jackie's shoulder engine turn on, and it started to pour out smoke that began to slowly change into something else. Because what happens next makes Ichigo tilt his head in confusion since the smoke changed into something else. Oil like substance began to pop out of the engine and began to cover up Jackie in a black like liquid like substance that changes her suit completely from white to black.

Everything that was white, changed to black substance that covered her like a symbiote, and most noticeable about her change is that the three engines that were on her now seemed to a shriek and tightened themselves around her.

Ichigo: "Hmm so what's your gimmick?"

Jackie: "Gimmick?"

Ichigo: "Yeah like Giriko's was that he was tough and stupid, and that didn't go so well for him, so what's your thing?"

Jackie: "Any grime that gets on my Fullbring, and surrounds it will make my body stronger and faster than you"

Ichigo: "So your the one with the weird powers, got it" (crosses his arms) "but let's see if that power boost is really true, the last guy that claimed they were tough did not meet a good end, and I hope you don't start following in their footsteps"

Jackie: "Hmph! don't underestimate me Kurosaki and don't patronize me either" (scoffed) "now pick up your zanpakuto and let's get this over with like I said"

Ichigo: "Sorry, but I think he's really needed right now" (motions her to attack him) "come on and give me your best shot Jackie"

Finding this insulting, Jackie slams her foot softly on the ground and creates a shockwave that makes the water rise a bit, and destroys all the pillars behind her and beside her. Though Ichigo doesn't seem affected by this showcase of strength, he just stands there with his arms crossed, and his mask hiding the calm face he had on until his eyes widen when he felt something hit him in the back of his head. What happens is that Jackie uses her super strength to blitz towards and behind Ichigo, and land was seemingly looks like to be a powerful kick that hits Ichigo in the back of the head as the hollow soul reaper or arrancar stumbles forward.

Jackie: "What did I tell you Kurosaki!"

Using her incredible speed once again, Jackie disappears and then reappears in front of Ichigo before seemingly landing a powerful flying kick on his stomach.

Jackie: "Don't underestimate m—"

Jackie and her eyes widen when she saw that her kick really didn't do anything as she sees Ichigo straggling up and the spot where she hit was unscathed. Last second before her kick connected, Ichigo had used Hierro to counter and block the hit from doing any significant damage.

Ichigo: "I wasn't underestimating you" (grabs her leg) "if I was, you would have landed the hit and probably done significant damage" (tightens his hold on her leg) "hold on tight now"

Ichigo raises Jackie up and started smashing her back and forth, and going from side to side without restraint, but he is holding back a bit.

After smashing her around, Hulk Style, Ichigo lifts up her body, which is upside down now, and checked to see if she's still conscious.

Ichigo: "You good?"

Jackie: "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"

Ichigo: "Yeah your fine"

Ichigo pulls back his left fist and releases her leg, before Jackie could drop to the floor she was hit strongly by Ichigo fist, and sent flying away and crashing through one of the stone pillars.

Ichigo: "That was fun, maybe I'll do that some other time"

He hears something where he sent Jackie flying, and then he sees a large wave of water rise before he himself raised his left forearm and blocked another kick from Jackie. She gritted her teeth and roared in anger as she started disappearing and appearing all around Ichigo, throwing a barrage of kicks that our hollow soul reaper is countering with Hierro or blocking them. She decided to end her assault with a spin kick, but before she could land the hit, Ichigo took a step forward with Sonido and landed a powerful stomach punch that makes Jackie release the air from her lungs and then get sent flying away. She skidded through the water, crashed through two stone pillars, and then planted herself on the third pillar she crashed into. Jackie seemed motionless there while being stuck to the stone pillar as Ichigo then appears in front of her.

Ichigo: "Hmmm.... I expected better from you honestly"

Jackie: (eyes widen before glaring at him) "Ggggrrr you motherfuc—"

Jackie jumps out of her spot and charges straight at Ichigo while shouting her sentence, but she was interrupted immediately when she found herself in a choke hold situation. Ichigo had used Sonido once again to move forward and catch her off guard before she could do anything, he raises her up and stare directly into her eyes.

Ichigo: "You should really just stop, I really don't want to hurt someone who was hit by Tsukishima"

Jackie: (surprised) "How did you—?"

Ichigo: "Tsukishima had to force some of you onto this plan so my thoughts immediately landed on you, Yukio and Riruka or more so you and Yukio since Riruka seems to have had her mind straight the whole time"

After telling her that, he tossed Jackie a few feet away from him, making her roll on the water, and then she stood herself and gets on one knee. Jackie breath heavily after the experience she had went through, but her eyes widen when she sees a red light slowly making itself visible in front of her. She quickly looks up and sees Ichigo charging a cero.

Ichigo: "See you on the other side"

Ichigo fires the cero at Jackie, point blank, and completely covers her in the explosion of the blast. So seeing that he had defeated yet another member of the fullbringers, Ichigo pulls Zangetsu towards him, the double bladed sword goes through pillars and water before reaching his kings hand. A yellow door then appears nearby, and so he walks towards it and goes into the next boos room. Which was a room filled with plushies, donates, and other cute stuff, oh! and it was very pink, and had a yellow floor.

Ichigo: "Umm"

. . .

. . .

. . .

. . .

. . .

. . .

. . .

. . .

. . .

. . .

Ichigo: "What the hell is this!?"

Ichigo thoughts: "White me! what the hell is this!?"

White Zangetsu: (in Ichigo's head) "King..... if I had an answer, I would give it to you, but I'm just completely dumbfounded with what I'm seeing"

Ichigo thoughts: "Well at least I already know who's here in this boss room"

Ichigo: "Oi! Riruka! where are you? I would like to talk to you for a sec!"

Ichigo calls out to Riruka like if she was an ally or an old friend, but his shout seemed to not have been heard because he doesn't sees Riruka anywhere.

Ichigo: "Riruka! I know your here, you can come out now! I just want to talk to you!"

He called out to her again, but what he didn't know is that Riruka was much closer than what he would expect. She was exactly behind two giant plushies, and one giant donate away from Ichigo, who was looking for the red hair herself Riruka Dokugamine. She's the fullbribger that had the power to manipulate what she considers cute.

She remained hidden behind those three things while also having a small blush placed on her face.

Riruka: (mumbles with a blush) "Idiot, what do you think your doing familiarizing yourself like that with me? we're enemies"

Ichigo: (appears in front of her) "Who you calling an idiot?"

Riruka: ". . . . . . . . . . . ."

Ichigo: ". . . . . . . . . . . ."

Riruka: ". . . . . . . . . . . ."

Ichigo: ". . . . . . . . . . . ."

Riruka: "AAAAAHHHH!!!"

Riruka screams after being scared by Ichigo, who she immediately tries to slap away, but he easily dodges her slap, and moves two steps away from her while raising his free hand in defense.

Ichigo: "Wow there, I said I came here to talk to you"

Riruka: "Idiot! why did you appear out of nowhere like that!? you almost gave a heart attack!"

Ichigo: "Hey I'm not the one hiding, so your the idiot here!"

Riruka: "Shut up idiot! take this!"

Riruka brought out her toy gun and fired three stuffed bunnies at Ichigo, who easily cuts them all into pieces. Yet Riruka did not stop, she launched a barrage of various stuffed animals that came in different sizes. Seeing this coming, Ichigo dodge and cut down all stuffed animals that came his way, even tossed Zangetsu at the five big ones that were launched next and cut does down before they could reach him as he bashes away one small one, clawed a medium size one and then caught one small bunny plushie before crushing it.

Ichigo thoughts: "If Rukia were here or heared about this.... she's definitely going to kick my ass and never speak to me again"

Riruka: "Hey! why did you have to do that to my attacks!" (launches a drawer and more big stuffed animals at him)

Ichigo: "What do you want me to do!? blast your attacks!?"

Ichigo pulls back and then leans forward, opening his mouth, and then fires a small, short, and thin cero blast.

It complete obliterates the drawer and the big stuffed animals, which anger Riruka even more.

Riruka: "Aaaaahhh!! that's even worse!!!"

Ichigo: (points at her) "You!.need to.calm.down! can't you see I'm trying to talk to you here!"

Riruka: "What if I don't want to talk you idiot! you ever think of that!"

Ichigo: (tick mark) "Then I guess I'll make you"

Riruka: (tick mark) "I'll like to see you try!"

White Zangetsu: (in Ichigo's head) "You want to kiss her while you're at it king?"

Ichigo: (looks down at his sword) You shut up!

Riruka: "Hey! weirdo stop talking to your sword, and get back to the fight!"

Riruko charges at Ichigo while pulling her right fist back as her gauntlet's pink heart begins to glow. While she's at it, Riruka's followed by a barrage of drawers, plushies and donates which all go straight towards Ichigo, who was very irritated right now.

Ichigo: "Tsk! enough of this!"

Ichigo fires a powerful burst of spiritual energy in the form of an air slash that destroys every single thing Riruka threw at him and sends her flying back after getting hit by his attack. She could only watch on as her efforts seem futile and even meaningless at this point.

Riruka: (shock) "So much...... power"

Ichigo then appears in front of Riruka, catches her and then landed on his feet while safely setting her down. Though he doesn't let go, Ichigo takes Riruka's hand, which surprises her and makes her blush.

Ichigo: "Like I said.... we need to talk"

He uses Sonido, and takes himself and Riruka to a secluded area where Yukio could not see them. Which was under a pile of stuffed plushies that had surprisingly made a nice space for people to rest there or talk. Now let's see what's going on between this two, we see Ichigo calmly look down at Riruka through his mask, with his left hand holding her right hand, and while he did that Riruka kept her gaze away from his.

Riruka: "So? what did you want to talk about?"

Ichigo: "Why did you protest when the other three literally begged Ginjō for my power"

Riruka: (looks up at him) That's not true! I-I also wanted your power so I can be as strong as I am now! you just mustn't heard me"

Ichigo: "I know exactly what I heard Riruka! so don't start making bullshit excuses"

Riruka: "I-I um"

Ichigo: "You. out of everyone in that group. you were the only one against this, so I just want to know why!"

The grip that he had on her arm tightened, making her yelp as she look straight at Ichigo, who's mask was inches away from hers. While it was weird abs maybe a little bit creepy, his breath matched hers and it made her blush a little.

Ichigo: "Aren't you my enemy?"

Things were now silent after he said that, Riruko avoided his gaze once again as she was thinking on the question he had just asked her, and she gave him  only one answer

Riruka: (mumbles) "It didn't feel right"

Ichigo: "Hmm? What did you say?"

Riruka: (looks straight into his yellow eyes) "I said it didn't feel right!"

Ichigo: ". . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."

Riruka: "Taking your powers is one thing, but hurting you psychologically and forcing all those you love to go against you . . . . and killing you and making everyone you know not even remember you, that's taking things too far! and that's just not what I signed up for!"

It became a silent atmosphere after her last comment, both Ichigo and Riruka stared at one another until the girl let out a sigh before hugging herself and looking down at the ground. Her face expressed a solemn look, one of pain, sadness, regret, and guilt as she then wiped her nose before looking up at Ichigo's masked face.

Riruka: "If it was the old me then.... maybe I would be like the others, but I hate the old me, and I don't want to go back to being that Riruka!"

Ichigo: "The... old you?"

Riruka: ". . . . . . When I was seven years old..... I
fell in love with someone because of how kind and caring they were towards me.... at that point... I had already been able to control my fullbringer powers and decided to seal my crush away and take care of him forever and ever..... he didn't like that... and I can see now why he didn't..... back then, whaterver I wanted, I would get it by any means necessary and without care of anything else or anyone else..... but I'm different now"

Ichigo: "........"

Riruka: "I just.... I just don't want to make the same mistakes anymore.... I-I want to be better person, and I want to stop being selfish" (murmurs) "even though I think that may never happen since I'm selfish by default"

Ichigo: "That's true"

Riruka: "Hey!"

Ichigo: "But I'm glad you know.... thank you for telling more about yourself Riruka, I really appreciate that from you"

Riruka thoughts: "Gggrrrr this idiot.... this lovable, handsome, and determined idiot.... I also want to change because I want to be better for you now"

Ichigo "And so" (smiles though the mask) "I'm glad to hear your on my side Riruka"

Riruka: "Hmph!" (looks away with a blush) "it's not like I care about you or anything, so you better be grateful! you big idiot"

Ichigo: (chuckles) "Yeah, and I hope you can forgive me for this"

Riruka: "Huh? what are you talking abo—gggreagh!"

Ichigo had landed a strong punch on Riruka's stomach, making her fall into his arms. Riruka slowly l regains the air she had just lost from that punch.

Riruka: (weakly) "I-Ichi-chigo"

Ichigo: "Just rest Riruka, I got to finish this"

Ichigo sets Riruka down, comfortably and safely, she's then confirmed to have been defeated, which grants Ichigo the next entrance to the next boss room. Quickly appearing in front of the door that leads to the next boss room, Ichigo takes one last glance at Riruka.

White Zangetsu: (in Ichigo's mind) "So what does that make now? like five girls that are interested in you?"

Ichigo thoughts: "What are you taking about?" (starts going through the gate)

White Zangetsu thoughts: "Oh . . . . . right, I forgot how dense you are king"

Not hearing his zanpakuto's thoughts, Ichigo enters the new location, which is a much more of a closed location that has three hallways that lead to a different location.

Ichigo: "This better not be a maze"

Yukio voice: "If it were, I should have brought the popcorn I guess"

Yukio's holographic screen appears again in front of Ichigo, looking at him again with the same smirk that he had before.

Yukio: "You finally made it to my level, that's good"

Ichigo: "Yeah . . . so what's the plan here? you just going to send stuff while you sit comfortably on that chair of yours?"

Yukio: "Yep! so good luck finding me loser" (hologram screen disappears)

Ichigo: "I think that out of all of them he's been the most annoying one after gaining new powers...... actually no, Giriko has been to annoying honestly, so Yukio is second annoying after gaining this new power"

Deciding to go down the right hallway, Ichigo decides to start running his way through the hallway that seemed endless, and when he found himself in a cross road, he would quickly take a another direction that had the same endless and
emptiness as the last hallway. He silently runs while waiting to see what Yukio will do first in this level that he constructed.

Ichigo: "It's quiet.... too quiet"

But the silence had ended when Ichigo heard the sound of something heading straight for him, and once he turned around he saw missiles going straight at him. Once they were close enough, he slashed the missiles down, making them explode once they were cut into pieces. After dealing with that, Ichigo turns around to see a door about to close, but before it would close, Ichigo would stop it with his hand and stopped the door from closing off whatever is that was in there.

Ichigo: (slide opens the door and sees an empty room) ". . . . . . I hate games like this"

Yukio voice: "Wrong door! try again!"

Ichigo: "Oh this is going to be a massive pain in the ass"

Deciding to explore the area by using Sonido, he got from hallway to hallway, and area to area as he would have been meet with a traps that Yukio placed in his level, they went like this: more missiles, trap doors that Ichigo didn't even fall too, flamethrowers that didn't even hurt Ichigo, numerous other missiles in other area that Ichigo quickly obliterate with a cero, guns, thugs, and in another area, Yukio even made a digital copy of classic Ichigo, but the same man to cut down the copy with ease. There was a trap filled with monsters that were going to sneak attack Ichigo, but the monsters were quickly cut into multiple pieces, and lastly the last trap that Ichigo face was a combination of the missiles, the flamethrower and some guns that did absolutely nothing because Ichigo would not be affected by one of those things and he was fast enough to destroy them. So now we see him standing in the middle of a hallway, hand on his masked chin, thinking on how to find Yukio, and speaking of Yukio Hans Vorarlberna, we can find him in the control room looking at a screen that shows Ichigo.

Yukio: "Heheheh with all the traps I've been summoning each step he takes, I'm sure that I'm slowing him down little by little... I just needs to keep this up and I'll win! (chuckles) and spins his chair around) "I wonder what I should send next? a bomb? a horror monster? maybe even some hollows to bring him back some old memories and reminisce has he loses this battle, brain beats brawn"

"BOMB!"

Yukio: "Huh?"

"BOMB!"

Yukio: (looks at the screen) "What does he think he's doing!?"

Looking through the screen, Yukio could see Ichigo firing cero's and energy air slashes at random locations of the boss room, which caused explosion that destroy the room little by little.

Yukio: "HUH!?"

Right where Ichigo is, the wall behind him appears a holographic screen that shows a shocked and angry Yukio.

Yukio: "Hey! what do you think your doing!?"

Ichigo:  (charges up a cero without looking back) "What does it look like I'm doing? I'm trying to find you" (fires the cero)

Yukio: "Stop that!? stop destroying—"

Ichigo: "Destroy everything in front of me in one shot" (charges up another cero) "gladly"

Ichigo channels a lot of reiatsu into his cero, making the red orb grow bigger in size.

Yukio: "I won't let you do what you want! that's my role! I'm the god of this universe!"

Missiles were fired at Ichigo, aiming to stop him from completing his attack, but thanks to Ichigo's spiritual energy the missiles were destroyed even before they reach Ichigo.

Yukio: "Wait! don't!—"

Too late, Ichigo had fired a huge cero, except that it wasn't a cero. What Ichigo had fired was grand Ray cero blast that disintegrated every wall, the floor, and probably any other trap that was hidden in the different areas by Yukio. After he had finished the attack, Yukio watched in shock because of the aftermath of the blast left everything that was in front of Ichigo was disintegrated by the attack. And in his watch room, he stared at the screen in shock which turn to anger when he saw Ichigo turn around and cut down the wall behind him, which was the entrance to Yukio's control room.

Yukio: (turns around) "Why is it that you destroy my stuff!?"

Ichigo: "Not my fault, honestly I just got irritated with this game you want me to play"

Ichigo fires an air slash at Yukio, who summons a force field that protects him from the attack.

Yukio: "You should really be careful with what you do here, I could have placed a bomb here you know that right?"

Ichigo: "How's your bomb gonna do anything to me when your other traps haven't exactly done anything"

Yukio: "Oh but that's just the thing" (disappears his force field) "you think your so cool in here with your hollow and soul reapers powers, but I'll tell you right now" (starts to mess with his computer on his arm) "your in my world! I am god here, so victory is on my side"

The surroundings of the boss room change to that of a huge square room with metal walls and no doors or escapes anywhere.

Yukio: "This entire dimension is my ability and I won't let you ruin this world of mine"

Ichigo: "Really? wow you really got yourself a cool power there Yukio"

Yukio: "You making fun of me?" (starts to press some buttons on his computer) "I'll show you why your not going to win!"

Behind Yukio a giant monster appears and it growls at Ichigo, who scoffs at this.

Ichigo: "Is this the best you can do? giant monsters?"

Yukio: "Shut up!"

Yukio had commanded his monster to attack Ichigo, but it really doesn't do much because he dodges the monster attack and jumps back to gain distance.

Yukio: "Hey! why you dodge that? you scared or something?"

Ichigo: "Well then oh so powerful god if this is your world, don't make me dodge then... I mean you do have the power to do that right?"

Yukio: "Tsk! Alright then let me give you a taste of what I kind do"

Yukio started pressing the red buttons that were on his arms at a rapid pace as slowly in front of Ichigo many other monsters like the first one appeared in front of him all looking as hideous as the other one.

Yukio: "Even if you escape now! it won't help you! not just this room, but the next one and the one after that one and the many more! I control all of them! the walls, the ceiling, the floor and the many other things! they're all apart of my ability!! all programmed to follow my every command which is to hunt you down! until you are smashed into millions of piec—"

"SLASH!"

Ichigo now stood in front of Yukio with Zangetsu extended to the right and the monsters behind him all start to slowly disappear into nothingness.

Yukio: (shock) "What!?"

Ichigo: "Game over brat"

Ichigo raises his sword which scars Yukio, who closes his eyes, but things didn't go like he thought as Ichigo comically bonks Yukio on the head with the middle part of zanpakuto, which knock the gaming fullbringer down.

Ichigo: "Hmmmm" (looks around the room) "even if he created this, it seems the game doesn't even end when I defeat him"

Just then the next gateway opens, and Ichigo quickly makes his way towards it, he lands in the next boss room, and it was an opened area with trees and square shaped pillars that made large and wide platforms. Ichigo was standing on one of those platforms, and he seemed alone as when he looked around he saw nobody.

Ichigo: "First a ballroom, then a place that looked like Muramasa's home, toy land and then a room with endless hallways hmmm and so what's this place gimmick?"

White Zangetsu: (in Ichigo's mind) "I don't know king, but when are we going to face Ginjo? I would like to see the face he makes when we absolutely humiliate him"

Ichigo: "All in do time"

???: "Yes all in do time"

Ichigo uses Hierro to block the slash from someone's sword, and then blocks the next slash, and then proceeds to counter attack with both his blades. Putting pressure on his opponent, not giving him a chance to react as Ichigo lands a small cut on their right arm before kicking them away. The person who attacked him by surprised and failed was none other then Tsukishima himself.

Ichigo: "Anyone ever told you that it's rude to interrupt someone when they're talking to their Zanpakuto?"

Ichigo fires two energy air slash at Tsukishima, and then he fires three spherical cero's at the individual, who using the bringer of light technique to dodge the attack. Tsukishima was almost not able to dodge the attacks as one of the cero's grazed his left leg.

Ichigo: "Surprise attacking as always you sneaky bastard"

Tsukishima: "Yes well, it was thanks to this 'surprise attacks' that was able to make everyone go against you" (smiles calmly) "you should have been a little more protective about them if you care about your friends so much"

A glint in Ichigo's yellow eyes shows that he was quite angry about that comment, taking stance as he got ready to face off against Ginjō's partner in crime.

Tsukishima: "And it saddens me that I can't use them against you again, I mean after going through miss Orihime's memories I was able to see the time you transformed into this form only, and might I say that it was not a very pleasant memory"

Ichigo: "Yeah well things change" (aims Zangetsu at him) "and I'm here to pay you back for what you did Tsukishima, you and Ginjō are not walking out of this alive"

Tsukishima: "Then let's see how you deal with the two of us"

Ichigo:Eh? 'two of us'? now whatever could you—"

Ichigo notices from the corner of his eyes a figure lunging towards him from the side with their fist ready to punch him. This was the same person he had taken down easily, and even broke his arm if he remembered correctly.

???: "Got you now you bastard!"

Ichigo dodges the individuals punch and kicks them on them away and back flying towards Tsukishima with a cero blast as an addition. The individual who joined the fight had gotten on one knee and gasp when they see the cero heading straight for them, but Tsukishima appears behind the person, grabs them, and then uses bringer of light to dodge the attack.

Tsukishima: "Don't be reckless Shishigawara" (sets him down) "this isn't someone you should just fight head on alone"

Sitting on the ground with surprised expression was the fullbringer's punk with a mean punch.

Moe Shishigawara

Moe: "Sorry boss" (stands up) "thought I had the bastard in my sights"

Tsukishima: "It fine, now let's deal with him together"

Moe: (stands beside him and gets in a fighting stance) "Right!"

Ichigo: "He won't make things easier for you Tsukishima"

Tsukishima: "We'll see about that Ichigo"

Finding it to be the starting 'go' of the fight, Ichigo begins to walk forward towards the two fullbringers, but once he took a step at a specific part of the battlefield square like pillar platform, a smaller square pillar rose from the ground and forced Ichigo to move back when he then sees the pillar crumble into ruble.

Ichigo thoughts: "Did he prepare that before I arrived here?"

Then out of nowhere, more square pillars began to rise from the ground beneath Ichigo's feet as the Hollow Soul Reaper dodge each one with Sonido until he reached a part that made ten square pillars rise around him. Tsukishima had planned to trap him, but this square where nothing, but breakable things as with one swing of his double bladed Zanpakuto, Ichigo destroyed the trap with ease as the rumble of the pillars fell around him.

Moe: (behind the crumbling pillars) "Dodge this you freak!!"

Moe had used his fullbring powers to punch a large intact part of the square pillars that surrounded Ichigo, has he punched the one in front of him. He caused it to break into small pieces that are fired at Ichigo, who quickly cuts them down before blocking Tsukishima's slash that was aimed at his back.

Ichigo: "You'll have to do better than that"

Tsukishima: "Tsk!"

Ichigo and Tsukishima separated from one another and clash their blades all over the battlefield, where they would appear and then disappear again and again. Which would mean Moe was stuck watching them because he doesn't have that kind of speed or knows how to use bringer of light.

Moe thoughts: "Shit! I'm starting to not keep up with them!"

Tsukishima was entering the same state as Ichigo was starting to increase his speed and added more force into his slashes, which almost made Tsukishima unbalance and reveal an opening. Clashing their blades once again, but this time Ichigo disappears and reappears behind Tsukishima landing a slash at Tsukishima who grits his teeth in pain because of the blood that started to come out of his mouth.

Ichigo: "Got you"

Tsukishima: "Yes" (stumbles forward a bit, and looks back at Ichigo) "it seems that you did"

He uses Bringer of light to get away from Ichigo, who follows behind him as they clash once again their blades with Ichigo's being above Tsukishima who was struggling to keep his sword aimed upwards.

Moe: "Stay away from him!"

Moe had jumped into the clash, and was going to punch Ichigo, but he misses because Ichigo uses Sonido to dodge Moe's punch and appear a few feet away from the duo.

Moe: "You okay boss?"

Tsukishima: (gets in his stance) "I can keep fighting, don't worry about me Moe"

Ichigo: "Your bringer of light, that maybe one of your specialties, but seeing as how you couldn't even keep up with my own bringer of light when I was still a Fullbringer.... what makes you think you can keep up with me now?"

Tsukishima: "We'll just have to wait and see..... won't we?"

Moe: "Yeah! you ain't beating us you bastard!"

Ichigo: "Quite lying to yourselves" (extends his left arm forward appearing two fingers) "you both are way out of your league" (red and black light appears in his fingers) "Cero Oscuras"

Ichigo fires Cero Oscuras at the duo, but that didn't stop Moe from trying to punch the literally energy wave blast that was heading right for them as the fool charges towards the attack.

Moe: "HAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"

Tsukishima: "Moe wait!"

Moe literally punched the blast, which he thought he could stop or even destroy the attack with the power of his fullbring, but he ultimately fail to stop it. As a result, Moe is devoured by the attack and send flying away and off the battlefield the trio were fighting in. With the Fullbring punk out of the way, the only thing left standing in front of Ichigo was Tsukishima, who was looking horrified at where Moe was launched too.

Ichigo: (appears in front of Tsukishima) "I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have even lasted against any of the other soul reapers if you ask me"

Tsukishima: (gasp before using briger of light to get away from Ichigo) "You won't get away with this Ichigooo!!"

Ichigo: "No"

Tsukishima heard a voice behind him, but when he turned around to slash Ichigo, all he cuts is the nothingness that was around him. The Hollow Soul Reaper then appears behind Tsukishima.

Ichigo: "You and Ginjo will pay first"

Tsukishima uses bringer of light to appear behind Ichigo, and was about to thrust his sword to stab him, but he was not quick enough in his action. Ichigo turned around and slash with his second blade, it took Tsukishima a few seconds to realize that he has been cut clean. The slash reached his shoulder and straight down to the to  right side of his waist.

Tsukishima thoughts: "What?"

Ichigo: "You lost your focus there Tsukishima, that's not very good" (spins Zangetsu around) "for you"

Ichigo slashes Tsukishima multiple times before incasing Zangetsu  in black and red spiritual energy that grows and extends while Ichigo swung the sword down on the psychological Fullbringer.

Ichigo: "Getsuga Tenshou!!"

Tsukishima's eyes could only look on at the incoming attack that was heading straight for him. Nothing else came to mind except the thoughts he had when he had first meet Ginjō when he was a kid.

Tsukishima thoughts: "GINJO HEELP MEEEE!!!"

Speaking of Ginjō, we can see him in his Fullbring shikai form. Standing over a fake Karakura town boss room, and waiting for Ichigo while also watching some holographic screens that show Ichigo's fights with the other Fullbringers.

Ginjo: "Come on Ichigo" (rest his sword on his shoulder) "you can't keep me waiting for to long right?"

"BOOM!"

Bursting into his boss room was an unconscious Tsukishima, which was followed by the aftermath of Ichigo's Getsuga Tenshou following him.

Ginjo:Tsukishima!

Ginjō dashes towards his partners while attaching his sword to his back as he catches Tsukishima and set him down on one of the many building before kneeling down to his level to make sure he's alright.

Ginjo: "Tsukishima? are you okay? what happened to you? where's Ichigo?"

Tsukishima was unresponsive, but he didn't need to answer anything as all of a sudden Ginjo could feel a strong spiritual pressure entering the boss room.

Ichigo voice: "Yo"

Ginjo looks up towards the location he heard Ichigo's voice only to see nothing there, but the hole the hollow soul reaper had made. That is until Ichigo then appeared in front of Ginjo and attempted to slash him down ahead of time, but the first substitute soul reaper took out his sword and blocked the slash that pushes him back.

Ichigo: "It's time we continue our fight Ginjo"

The last thing we see is Ichigo quickly charging towards the one who betrayed him, swinging his Zanpakuto down on Ginjo. Seeing the calm and serious expression from his opponent, Ginjō can only grit his teeth and charge up to Ichigo.

Ginjō: "Let's finish this!! Ichigooo!!!"

The final battle between two former substitute soul reapers begins now.
