AN: Hello! Its Kraken with that rewrite I promised! Bet you didn't expect it the same day huh? I've been a little less busy with real-life and stuff, so you can expect more chapters, more often, hopefully. This time, I have a list of plot points instead of just writing as I go along, so maybe this will be better for me. By the way, I know it's 3 days late, but Happy New Year! I hope you enjoy this reboot and don't be afraid to vote and comment below. Now, without further adieu..On with the Fic!
*I dont own RWBY or Bleach, obviously.*
'Thoughts'
'Zangetsu'
'Inner Hollow'
Darkness. That was the first thing Ichigo Kurosaki saw as he opened his brown eyes. As the teen began to take in his surroundings, he noted 2 things. One, he wasn't dead, and two, he wanted to kill the bastard who did this. He didn't know how long he was out, but he remembered how he got in this position at least.
*flashback*
"Is that...Ichigo? That's Ichigo, right?" Tatsuki asked herself, as well as Keigo and the rest of Ichigo's friends. "Is he..taller? And what happened to his hair?" However, she was silently worried. 'I feel nothing...I usually sense something; anything coming from him, but now? we're all dead!' she screamed the last part in her mind as she looked onto the orange headed teen with tears in her eyes.
Ichigo was as calm as a summer's day however "Keigo, Tatsuki, everyone else. Stay right where you are." he said in a calm voice, shocking the rest of his friends.
"Aizen, lets take this elsewhere. I don't want to involve innocent lives in this." he asked calmly to the Ex-Soul Reaper Captain in front of him, who started to chuckle.
"That is a question for someone who is worthy of challenging me would say, but your not worth- mmmppphhh!!" the rest of his speech was cut short by Ichigo pushing him towards an abandoned mountain range, where he threw Aizen to the canyon below.
"Aizen. No holding back. I'll end this in an instant." Ichigo declared as he landed before then man in question, blue reiatsu flowing from his body in an awesome display of power.
The defected captain however, was not fazed. "Oh ho? Really now? I can't sense any power from you. Your a disappointment, Ichigo." As Aizen was talking he set up a Gargantua below the Substitute Soul Reaper without him noticing and before he could react, Aizen flash stepped over to him and pushed him into the dark, unyielding void.
*flashback end*
As he floated through the blackness, he began to look back on his life. How Rukia changed his destiny, how he made new friends and powerful allies, his face offs with hollows everywhere, His battles with the espada, and...and...Orihime...Why was he so weak? He should've known about the trap Aizen laid but he was too busy focusing on his opponent. His friends are in danger and are probably dead by now. Why, why couldn't he protect them!
As he began to calm himself down, the young man had a sudden idea, one he couldn't believe he hasn't tried before now. 'Hmm...I wonder...'
He tried making a pathway out of reshi, but it didn't work somehow. He then remembered that since he had the Hogyoku, that anything is possible. The more he thought about it though, it made sense. Aizen doesn't want him in his way, so throwing him into a place in dimensions where he cannot escape was ideal for him. As he looked down at himself,he was shocked to find that he was dressed in his normal shihakusho again, with Zangetsu in its shikai form strapped to his back.
As he continued floating, weightless through the darkness, he thought he saw a brief flash of light somewhere , but it disappeared as soon as it came. He rubbed his eyes and focused on the spot where he thought it was, only to see nothing but the dark dreary inside of the Gargantua. 'Huh, must have been seeing things...eh, whatever.'
His thoughts returned to the giant kyber knife like sword on his back, and tried to locate Zangetsu in his inner world, only to get no response. He frowned.
'Yo. Yo! Old Man Zangetsu?! Zangetsu!!' The Substitute Soul Reaper yelled into his head, becoming more and more worried by the minute. 'Ichigo, I'm right here.' He let out an audible sigh of relief. 'Zangetsu, why do I still have access to my powers? I thought once I attained the Final Getsuga Tenshou that I would loose my Soul Reaper abilities?' He asked his Zampaktuo spirit. 'You havent activated the technique yet. That is why.' Ichigo felt stupid for asking that, but then the thought occurred to him, 'how do I get out of here?' He then asked Zangetsu the same question. 'I do not know Ichigo, but we can assume we're stuck here.'
'Great...' he thought back sarcastically and groaned in annoyance . Even though he was pissed about his situation, he still cracked a small smile. It was good to hear his Zanpakuto again.
His thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a blinding flash of light, but before he could wonder what the hell it is, he felt himself being sucked into the vortex of white. He tried comically to escape the pull of the wormhole but to no avail. Just before his vision whited out Ichigo told himself that no one would ever believe this crazy story of his when he gets back to Karakura town.
"Ugh...why is the world spinning...oh, right..." Ichigo groaned as he slowly got up from the ground. Just as he was sucked into the wormhole he whited out, and couldn't open his eyes for fear of becoming a blind man. Unfortunately, he exited in the sky above a heavily wooded forest, and realized too late the reiatsu in the air wasn't enough for him to stand on, so he just fell like an idiot until he was knocked out for the third time that day. Man, he was tired of this.
As he became more alert and less sleepy, he noticed something strange, the reiatsu here wasn't just low in quantity, but thin as well. This baffled the teen, as he's never felt anything like it before. He then remembered he heard Captain Kurotsuchi talk once about how this affects visibility of spiritual entities like Soul Reapers.
"Huh, guess I'm visible to normal people now. Neat." He could hear Zangetsu preparing for a reprimand, but stopped abruptly and told Ichigo to look up.
So he did, and what he saw shocked him to the core. He looked up at the moon, only to see half of it was shattered!
"The hell?! Why does it look like the moon fought Kenpachi and lost?!!" Ichigo yelled out, but thankfully Zangetsu, always being the voice of reason, said, 'I don't think it's wise to yell like that in an unfamiliar place. Let's look around and see what information we can find about this world before we make any major decisions.' The teen agreed, and began to shunpo in a random direction, hoping to find some information.
So tell me what you think? Was it better? Worse? Tell me in the comments. Ill try and upload a chapter regularly, and I'm already working on the next chapter. As always, thanks for reading! :D
Ichigo: Oi, who are you?
Kraken: Eh, you will find out eventually.
Ichigo: *glances suspiciously*
Inner Hollow: Why am I not in the story yet eh?!
Kraken: Because...well...that will spoil some things.
Inner Hollow: But! B-But!
Kraken: NO BUTS! YOUR TIME WILL COME!
Inner Hollow: Ugh...Fine.
Ichigo: Wait, how did you communicate with my Hollow?
Kraken: Plot convenience my friend, Plot convenience.
