Angels In Black

In our world, God is a divine being that rules over a realm called Heaven. That realm is populated by angels or people that have died and earned their spot in this God's realm. This God is praised, but what if this god wasn't as strong as we thought he was? What if he was stuck in limbo, the place between life and death? What if he was no longer strong enough to call himself a god? Would someone like Aizen be created if he saw the sorry state of this so-called god? Would we no longer fear someone who is no longer strong enough to fear? We may never know, but our shinigami friends may learn a dark secret. Now, the soul reapers fall through the sky, on their way to the next palace.

"Does anyone have a parachute!" exclaimed Kuroi.

"Shut up! This isn't a time for jokes!" exclaimed Renji.

"The ground is getting closer!" exclaimed Ichigo.

"Someone has to act like a landing platform!" exclaimed Renji.

"Renji should do it. You're the weakest one here!" exclaimed Kuroi.

"Are you serious! He's the weakest one!" exclaimed Renji.

"Don't you dare! I train a lot!" exclaimed Ichigo.

"I don't care! I'm the most injured, you ginger-haired bastard!" exclaimed Renji.

"Just make up your minds! We're going to hit the ground in a few-," said Kuroi.

The three soul reapers hit the ground before they can continue to argue. The soul reapers scream in pain after hitting the hard ground. They slowly get up and walk towards the palace.

"That hurt way more than it should," said Kuroi.

"I just got healed and now I hurt even more," said Renji.

"Hopefully, we don't feel any more pain while we're here," said Ichigo.

Ichigo's wish doesn't come true and the three soul reapers are slapped by Kikio and sent flying.

"Hello Ichigo, Renji, and Kuroi! Welcome to my palace! I will entertain you here!" exclaimed Kikio.

"Are they all crazy?" asked Kuroi.

"Maybe," said Renji.

Kikio sticks out her giant hands and pulls the three soul reapers up.

"Why are we here?" asked Ichigo.

"You need to fill your stomachs up before you can do anything stressing and I'm the best cook here!" exclaimed Kikio.

"We can tell," said Renji.

"Now, follow me. You will love my cooking," said Kikio.

The three soul repairs follow the large woman into her palace and take a seat at a large table. The large woman immediately starts to cook up something.

"Here! Here! Become delicious! Op! Op!" exclaimed Kikio.

A few minutes pass before large amounts of food appear on the table.

"How are we going to eat all of this?" asked Kuroi.

"You're not. You're supposed to fill your bellies while you stay here at the Gaton Palace. I know that you feel incredibly hungry," said Kikio.

"I suddenly feel very hungry," said Ichigo.

"Let's eat guys," said Renji.

The three soul reapers spend the next hour chomping down on all of the food there. Even if they try to stop they can't. They continue to eat until they hear some rustling in the back.

"Do you guys hear that?" asked Kuroi.

"No. This food is too good," said Ichigo.

"I see you understood what I meant!" exclaimed Kikio.

The three soul reapers look up and see Kikio, but she looks different. She is way slimmer than an hour before. They spit out their food because they're shocked by the appearance of the Zero Division member.

"Kikio?" asked Kuroi.

"I know I look a little different, but it's me," said Kikio.

"That's odd," said Ichigo.

"I convert my fat into food," said Kikio.

"Why did you give us this much food?" asked Renji.

"I gave you this much food because you need to have a full stomach before training. You need to eat a scale worthy for the Soul King. Our ceremonies are filled with the power of the Soul King and millions of years of the history of the Soul Society. Even simple things like treatment and food. Now just be quiet and enjoy your desert!" said Kikio.

"You're amazing!" exclaimed the soul reapers.

"I know," said Kikio.

Thirty minutes pass. Kuroi, Ichigo, and Renji now stand outside of the Gaton Palace.

"Ichigo, Renji, Kuroi, be careful. Each palace will get harder and harder. The next palace for you is Oetsu Nimaiya of the Houo Palace. He is the man who created the Zanpakuto," said Kikio.

"So, that's where we can get our Bankai's fixed, right?" asked Kuroi.

"I don't know. He is the creator of Zanpakutos, so he should know how to fix it," said Kikio.

"What if he doesn't want to fix our Zanpakutos?" asked Ichigo.

"We'll force him too," said Kuroi.

"Have fun," said Kikio.

Kikio slams the mallet on a giant rectangle button. The three soul reapers are launched into the air towards the next palace. A few minutes pass before they reach the Houo Palace.

"Is there anyone here?" asked Ichigo.

"It seems like this place is empty," said Renji.

A few seconds pass before large lights light up the dark palace.

"Guests, have a seat!" exclaimed a man.

"Who's that?" asked Kuroi.

"He's so loud!" exclaimed Renji.

"Guests, have a seat! You're holding your heads too high! In other words, your heads are too high!" exclaimed a man.

A spotlight lights up the rest of the palace and reveals the creator of Zanpakutos.

"I am the number one Zanpakuto creator, Oetsu Nimaiya. Nice to meet ya!" said Oetsu.

"Was this necessary?" asked Kuroi.

"You didn't like the show?" asked Oetsu.

"No, it was just weird. That's all," said Kuroi.

"Ok. Let me welcome you into my humble abode," said Oetsu.

Oetsu hops off the rooftop and walks towards the door. The three soul reapers follow the Zanpakuto creator into his home. Oetsu opens the door and reveals a room full of a large number of hot women.

"Wow," said Kuroi.

"Cute!" exclaimed one of the beautiful girls.

"Which one is Kuroi!" exclaimed one of the hot women.

"Dumbass, it's the one with the black hair!" exclaimed one of the beautiful women.

"Is this paradise?" asked Kuroi.

"They could be dudes for all we know. Don't start getting horny now," said Ichigo.

"If you want to get your Bankai's fixed and become stronger, you have to pass the vibe test," said Oetsu.

"The vibe test?" asked Renji.

"I have to see if you guys are cool enough to be trained by me," said Oetsu.

"So, what do we do?" asked Kuroi.

"Cool handshakes," said Oetsu.

"Cool handshakes?" asked Ichigo.

"It goes like this," said Oetsu.

Oetsu walks up to Kuroi and puts his hands into the air. Kuroi tries to mimic the Zero Division member, but Oetsu grabs his left arm and they both flex their biceps. Then, they do two different variations of a handshake.

"Hey! That was cool wasn't it!" exclaimed Oetsu.

"I guess so," said Kuroi.

"Now, for the rest of you," said Oetsu.

Oetsu proceeds to spend the next thirty seconds doing the same weird handshake with Renji and Ichigo.

"Now, let's move to the next step," said Oetsu.

"What's the next step?" asked Kuroi.

"If you want me to train you, you have to want me to train you. You can get me to train you by doing this," said Oetsu.

Oetsu does a flip and lands on his hands.

"Tadaa! You also have to say please," said Oetsu.

"I can't do that pose," said Ichigo.

"Shut up. We just have to," said Renji.

The three soul reapers proceed to do the same weird pose.

"Please!" exclaimed the soul reapers.

"Ahh that's so cute!" said one of the hot girls.

"Are you taking pictures?" asked Kuroi.

"Of course. Why wouldn't I?" said Oetsu.

"Bastard," said the soul reapers.

"How long are you going to keep this up!" exclaimed a girl.

The girl kicks Oetsu in the face for playing around.

"What was that for Mera?" asked Oetsu.

"You're wasting their time. If you want to continue your training, come with me. Fooling around here won't get you anywhere," said Mera.

The soul reapers get off of their hands and walk out of the palace. They walk outside until they reach a small hut on a cliff.

"This is the real Houoden. Master creates those dubious things to not acknowledge that he lives here," said Mera.

"You didn't have to tell them that, Mera," said Oetsu.

Mera walks up to the hut and moves a blanket acting as a door.

"Shut it. Come inside guys," said Mera.

The three soul reapers enter the hut and immediately fall into the black void. The land on the ground, not as hard as the other times.

"Hey! What the hell!" exclaimed Renji.

"Have you guys not noticed? You haven't met any shinigami other than me. All of those honeys were Zanpakutos," said Oetsu.

"Really?" asked Ichigo.

"That's weird. Even soul reapers couldn't tell the difference between real women and Zanpakutos. You guys must have no love for your Zanpakuto. That's why you lost the ability to distinguish them, right?" said Oetsu.

"That's wrong! We love our Zanpakutos!" exclaimed Kuroi.

"Really?" asked Oetsu.

The soul reaper's Zanpakuto appears in his hands.

"How did he get them?" asked Ichigo.

"If I were to break them, would you care?" asked Oetsu.

"What are you going to do!" exclaimed Renji.

"This," said Oetsu.

Oetsu slam the blades against each other and they nearly completely break.

"Zanpakuto that aren't loved break so easily. The wrath of the Zanpakuto is all around you. If you get out of here alive, I might reforge your Zanpakuto. Have fun," said Oetsu.

A large number of dark figures start to encircle the three soul reapers.

"I have a bad feeling about this," said Kuroi.

"Me too. What are they?" asked Renji.

"You don't have to be scared. You should know them well. They are the strongest form of Zanpakuto. Asauchi," said Oetsu.

"Let's deal with these bastards. Don't worry Kurayami, you'll be fixed in no time," thought Kuroi.
