The Tale of twin swords of Bleach (Bleach x Op Oc)

Part 23:Trials of the Shattered Shaft(part 4)

During the 11 day time skip

           Zangetsu reveals that the Shinigami powers which Byakuya removed from Ichigo were only the ones given to him by Rukia, to Ichigo's shock. Detailing how that was all Byakuya was interested in because he assumed that them being gone would be the end of Ichigo, Zangetsu asserts that he was careless because he overlooked Ichigo's own Shinigami powers, further shocking Ichigo, as he explains that Rukia's powers awakened Ichigo's own and that they lay deep in his soul at the time of Byakuya's attack before telling Ichigo to find them. The skyscraper behind Zangetsu begins to disintegrate into boxes, which fall past him as he stands in midair and asserts that Ichigo needs to find his hidden Shinigami powers now because this world is falling apart before revealing that his powers are in one of the boxes falling around them.Ichigo uses Reiraku to find his Shinigami powers after recalling Uryū's explanation of Shinigami Reiraku being red unlike all other Reiraku.Ichigo claims that he cannot possibly do so with how many thousands of boxes there are, but Zangetsu states that there is no time for excuses because Ichigo will turn into a Hollow if he does not find the right box before this world disintegrates. Stunned by this, Ichigo falls into a tear behind him and finds himself in water surrounded by the boxes. Wondering what he is supposed to do in order to find the right box out of all of these, Ichigo admits that he cannot even detect Reiryoku as he is right now, only for this to remind him of Uryū telling him something similar once. As he tries to recall how Uryū figured out that he was a Shinigami and how he was able to detect a Shinigami's powers, Ichigo remembers Uryū informing him that a Shinigami's Reiraku is red, unlike all other Reiraku, and realizes that this is the solution as hundreds of Reiraku appear connected to the boxes around him.Ichigo discovers a box containing his Zanpakutō's handle.Upon spotting a red Reiraku, Ichigo grabs it and pulls the box it is connected to over to him while proclaiming that this is it, only to be surprised when it opens to reveal a Zanpakutō's hilt. Praising Ichigo for finding it, Zangetsu expresses hope that his name will reach Ichigo's ears next time, leading Ichigo to realize who he is. However, as the world continues to crumble around them, Zangetsu questions what Ichigo is waiting for and demands that he pull him out quickly as Ichigo pulls the Zanpakutō out of the box.[58] In the real world, Urahara, Jinta, and Ururu look down the Shattered Shaft as a partially Hollowfied Ichigo strains against the Bakudō #99 Part 1. Kin binding his arms.Ichigo is bound by the first two sequences of Bakudō #99 Part 2. Bankin as he gains a full Hollow mask.When Ichigo's struggling causes the iron shafts embedding the fabric to burst out into the air behind him, Tessai informs Urahara that he is switching to suppression mode because they cannot wait any longer and plunges his hands into the ground as he initiates Bakudō #99 Part 2. Bankin, releasing white energy which begins wrapping itself around Ichigo in the form of strips of fabric. As Ichigo is impaled by numerous metal bolts, a shocked Jinta demands to know what Tessai is doing because this will kill Ichigo, only for Tessai to assert that he has no choice because he can barely restrain Ichigo and must destroy him before the change is complete. Tessai completes the spell by dropping an enormous metal cube on top of Ichigo, but as it descends, white fluid bursts out of the bindings covering the hole in Ichigo's chest and travel upward while destroying more bindings along the way, revealing a fully formed Hollow mask underneath the bindings. With Jinta shocked by this, Tessai declares that this is it, but the cube comes to a halt as Urahara shields Jinta and Ururu before a torrent of Reiatsu erupts from the Shattered Shaft. While Jinta observes that it exploded, something bursts out of the Reiatsu flare and hits the painted ceiling above, where it skids along as Jinta points it out to the others, before leaping off and slamming into the ground nearby.A figure bearing both a Shinigami's shihakushō and a Hollow mask appears.Surprised by this, Jinta demands to know if that is Ichigo and tells the latter to answer him if he is still alive. Upon seeing two glowing eyes within the dust cloud and a figure moving toward them, Jinta is left speechless as the dust clears to reveal what appears to be a fully Hollowfied Ichigo standing before them with a Shinigami's shihakushō and the tattered remnants of his bindings trailing off of him. With Jinta confused to see both a Shinigami's shihakushō and a Hollow mask on the same being and wondering which it is, the figure reaches for the Zanpakutō on his back, prompting Jinta and Ururu to assume battle stances, only to withdraw a Zanpakutō missing most of its blade. Though Jinta assumes that it is going to attack, the figure instead smashes the hilt of its Zanpakutō into the middle of its mask, shocking Jinta, and grabs the broken section as more pieces fall off.
