Bleach - The Grim Reaper (Male Reader Insert) [Book 1]

Launch The Counterattack!

(In Y/N's inner world)

(Y/N) opened his eyes to see a dark sky. Standing above him was Thanatos and Ankou.

(Y/N): Huh... What are you guys...

Thanatos: We dragged you here.

Ankou: And for a good reason.

(Y/N): But what's happening outside?

Ankou: You can relax, you're in no real danger right now.

Thanatos: You're being healed as we speak. But that aside we have something important to talk about.

(Y/N): Important? Oh right... Segunda Etapa...

Thanatos: Naturally, going beyond your body's limits for the first time will have negative effects. But now that your body has experienced it, it can now adjust accordingly. We can break past the limit we have thought existed.

(Y/N): But how do we willingly tap into Segunda Etapa?

Thanatos: There is no new name for your Resurreccion. Unlike Shikai or Bankai, Segunda Etapa is just that... a Second stage. Once you call out to it with the intention of using it, you'll use it.

(Y/N): T-That's it?

Ankou: Yes. Remember that names hold power. Discovering our names was what gives you and every other shinigami and hollow powers. Remember that.

(Y/N): Right.

Thanatos: Now get to working that brain of yours because we're still in a predicament.

Ankou: Thanatos is right. Yhwach isn't going to stop and wait for you guys to catch up. He's progressing his plans as we speak.

(Y/N): I'll try my best.

(Y/N)'s eyes shot opened again, this time, he was looking at the skies in the Royal Palace.

(Y/N): I feel like I got shot, run over by a truck, and burned alive.

"Well at least you have the energy to joke about it so that means you're doing better already."

(Y/N) turned his head and saw Yoruichi sitting next to him.

(Y/N): That wasn't a joke. I was serious.

Calavera: You had us worried sick!

(Y/N): I'm not doing this on purpose!

Chad: We're just glad you're still with us.

(Y/N): Thanks...

(Y/N) looked over his friends' shoulder and watched as Orihime was too busy healing Ichigo to notice that he was awake...

(Y/N): How long has she been at it?

Yoruichi: About 5 minutes. You took around the same amount of time to be healed.

(Y/N): I see... It's good to have someone as proficient at healing as Orihime with us. I should help her...

Yoruichi: Keep your energy. If you haven't noticed, your reiatsu dropped immensely halfway through your battle. Not to mention, that strange form that you took drained it even more.

Yoruichi was referring to when Daichi prevented him from absorbing reishi, and later using Segunda Etapa.

(Y/N): I can just get it back.

Yoruichi: Don't take unnecessary risks. Let your body rest normally for now. Orihime can take care of Ichigo.

(Y/N): ...Yeah, you're right.
