The Quincy Slayers

Nine days have passed since Kuroi reforged his Zanpakuto. In those nine days, Kuroi has trained intensely to regain his Bankai and even a different power. Now, Kuroi and Ichigo walk through the halls of the palace, in weird clothes.

"We're ready! What about you guys!" exclaimed Tenjiro.

"We're ready, too," said Ichigo.

"Where's that cylinder thing that we arrived to the palace in? Is it broken or something?" asked Kuroi.

"You're walking," said Tenjiro.

"How are we going to walk from here to down there?" asked Ichigo.

"Senjumaru, the stairs!" exclaimed Tenjiro.

"Ok," said Senjumaru.

Senjumaru taps her staff on the floor and a circular flight of stairs forms next to the palace.

"Those are a lot of stairs," said Kuroi.

"Don't worry! It's not too many stairs! If you use Shunpo, you will be there in a week!" exclaimed Tenjiro.

"A week? What if the Quincies attack again?" asked Kuroi.

"You don't have to worry about being on time. The Quincies started attacking three hours ago," said the bald monk.

Instead of staying there and arguing, Kuroi and Ichigo jump off the palace and rocket towards the battlefield.

"I'm surprised that they didn't stay here to argue," said Tenjiro.

"Those boys have changed," said the bald monk.

"They've gotten stronger," said Tenjiro.

"No, it's not that. He grew up. In other words, he became stronger," said the bald monk.

"That's the same thing," said Tenjiro.

"No, it isn't. I'm not just talking about power. Both of their bodies and souls have grown stronger. They have become real soul reapers," said the bald monk.

Four hours pass. Kuroi and Ichigo no longer see the long spiraling staircase and only see the clouds. They rocket towards the battlefield as their spiritual pressures are felt all across the land. Instead of landing gracefully, they crash land into a clock tower.

"When did the clock tower get here?" asked Kuroi.

"They must have brought it here," said Ichigo.

"Let's go win this battle," said Kuroi.

As the two soul reapers exit the clock tower, some of the Quincies stare at the broken clock tower.

"What was that?" asked a female Quincy.

"It crashed into that clock tower. Maybe it's strong," said another female soul reaper.

"Even if it's strong. It won't beat us," said a ginger Quincy.

"Are you sure about that?" asked Kuroi.

The Quincies quickly turn around, surprised that the soul reapers got behind them.

"When did they get behind us?" asked a female Quincy.

Instead of focusing on the Quincies, the two soul reapers walk towards the injured Kenpachi, laying in a crater.

"Kenpachi, you're not looking too well," said Ichigo.

"Why are you guys here?" asked Kenpachi.

"I can't believe I'm saying this, but we have come to help you," said Kuroi.

"I never thought that I would need help from you two," said Kenpachi.

"Can you stand?" asked Ichigo.

"Worry about yourself, not me. The Quincies don't want you to help me," said Kenpachi.

Kuroi looks up and sees a Quincy rocketing towards him. Instead of knocking her out, Kuroi takes off his cloak and pulls out his Zanpakuto, and cuts her in half.

"Candice!" exclaimed another female Quincy.

The three female Sternritters charge at the young soul reaper to avenge their friend. Kuroi doesn't play around with these girls and speed blitzes them, cutting off their heads in the process.

"That was violent. I thought that you didn't like to kill," said Ichigo.

"I don't. It's just my job," said Kuroi.

Before they can continue to talk, a beam of light pierces the sky. Kuroi and Ichigo turn around to see the beam of light coming from the heavens.

"What is that light?" asked Ichigo.

"Kuroi Hono. Ichigo Kurosaki. Do you hear my voice?" said Yhwach.

"How are you talking to us?" asked Kuroi.

"Why would I not talk to the Quincies who would lead us to the light?" asked Yhwach.

"What do you mean?" asked Ichigo.

"Thanks to you two, I will be able to invade the Soul King's Palace. You broke through 72 barriers and they can't be closed for 100 minutes," said Yhwach.

"That's why you broke our Bankais. You were using us to get to the Soul King," said Kuroi.

"Smart observation, but you weren't smart enough to see my plan before there was no chance to stop me," said Yhwach.

"If you're so confident, stay right there. We're coming for you," said Kuroi.

"I would rather not. See you later, my sons," said Yhwach.

"Let's go get this bastard," said Kuroi.

Kuroi and Ichigo rocket into the sky. Before they can barely get into the air, they are attacked by a Sternritter with a weird hairstyle.

"Die!" exclaimed the weird Sternritter.

Before the Sternritter can kill the two soul reapers, Ichigo just cuts him in half. Thinking that the distractions are over, they continue to fly until a gun is placed against his head.

"You are very stubborn," said the sharpshooting Sternritter.

"You shot out Uncle Shunsui's eye didn't you?" asked Kuroi.

"Yes," said the sharpshooting Sternritter.

Instead of responding with words, Kuroi cuts off his hand and decapitates him. A few seconds pass before a pink-haired Sternritter appears next to Ichigo. Ichigo causally cuts off the Sternritter's arm, causing him to fall to the ground. Kuroi and Ichigo continue to rocket towards the Quincy King until they reach him.

"Yhwach!" exclaimed Ichigo.

"So you came after us, my sons," said Yhwach.

"I will-," said Haschwalth.

"No, I will," interrupted Uryu.

Uryu pulls out his reishi bow and launches two arrows at the two soul reapers.

"Uryu, why are you working with them!" exclaimed Kuroi.

"Go home, guys. You can't stop his majesty," said Uryu.

"What are you saying?" asked Ichigo.

'"Go home. Don't throw your lives away here," said Uryu.

"Answer me! Why are you working with them!" exclaimed Kuroi.

"Licht Regen," said Uryu.

Thousands of arrows rain from the sky onto the soul reapers. Before the soul reapers can block the arrows, a shield appears above them.

"Uryu," said Orihime.

"Let's go, Uryu. Did you say farewell?" said Yhwach.

"Yes," said Uryu.

"Good. You will never see them again," said Yhwach.

"I am aware," said Uryu.

"Now let's enter the palace of the King of Souls," said Yhwach.

Yhwach and Haschwalth enter the beam of light. Before Uryu enters the beam of light, he can hear Kuroi screaming at him.

"Why do you not answer me! Say something goddammit! Are you putting your clan over the rest of the world! Answer me, Uryu! Tell me something, Uryu! Uryu!"e exclaimed Kuroi.

Uryu doesn't respond and just walks into the beam of light. The beam of light disappears after the former last Quincy enters.

"Why would he side with Yhwach? Does he value his people more than us?" asked Ichigo.

"No, he has a reason. He just doesn't want to talk to us. I don't know what he's planning, but it better be good," said Kuroi.

Kuroi and Ichigo slowly descend to the ground. They see their friends and walk up to them.

"So, Uryu's a turncoat huh?" asked Tatsuki.

"Maybe he is. Maybe he isn't. I'm not sure," said Ichigo.

"If he is a traitor, he probably thought very much about making the decision. He's too stubborn to be convinced," said Chad.

"How will we get him to come back to the right side?" asked Orihime.

"If he is siding with Yhwach, then I guess that we have to knock some sense into him," said Kuroi.

"I'm a fan of that plan," said Tatsuki.

"How are we going to get back to the palace. Their transport has disappeared," said Ichigo.

"I can help," said Kisuke.

Kuroi and Ichigo turn around and see Kisuke standing behind them.

"Why do you conveniently appear when we need you?" asked Kuroi.

"It's just called good business," said Kisuke.

"You have an invention that can get us to the palace, don't you?" asked Ichigo.

"Of course I do," said Kisuke.

Forty minutes pass. Kuroi and his allies have been launched into the sky and crash lands at the entrance of the palace. Chad kicks a hole in the transporter and they all crawl out.

"Why does he never make his inventions more comfortable?' asked Tatsuki.

"Shh. Do you hear it?" said Kuroi.

"Hear what?" asked Tatsuki.

"Tenjiro would usually be screaming. Yhwach must have defeated them all," said Kuroi.

"He dismembered them. Look," said Yoruichi.

Yoruichi points at the head and arms of the monk.

"That's disturbing," said Kuroi.

"I'll go and heal him," said Orihime.

"You can't heal a bunch of body parts. He's gone," said Tatsuki.

"Kuroi," said the bald monk.

"Ichibei," said Kuroi.

"Huh?" asked Chad.

"Kuroi, my name," said Ichibei.

"Why are you talking to me?" asked Kuroi.

"Are you ok, Kuroi?" asked Chad.

"He's talking to me," said Kuroi.

"Kuroi, call my name," said Ichibei.

"Ichibei Hyosube," said Kuroi.

Seconds after Kuroi says Ichibei's name, black ink covers Ichibei's body and reforms it. He quickly opens his eyes and gets up.

"How are you alive? You were just body parts a moment ago," said Kuroi.

"All names have powers. By calling my name, I took some of your power and put myself together," said Ichibei.

"Man, that's messed up," said Kuroi.

"Really? I have a right to steal some of your power, but please stop Yhwach. He has defeated the entire Zero Division and my powers won't return to me fast enough for me to help. Only you and your friend can help us. You don't have to kill him, just take him down. The Soul King is the key to the world. If the Soul King dies, everything will disappear. I'm sorry for asking for so much, but please defeat him," said Ichibei.

"We will," said Kuroi.

Kuroi and his allies run past the monk and towards the Soul King's room. They run through the divine palace for a couple minutes until they reach the room of God. They see the Quincy King standing in front of the Soul King.

"It seems that you have returned Kuroi and Ichigo. You two are such pitiful little bugs. The gears of fate will crush you. At least let me bury you both myself," said Yhwach.

"We came here to stop you," said Kuroi.

"I saw that. You came here to stop me from killing the Soul King," said Yhwach.

"What's up with your eyes?" asked Kuroi.

"These eyes are the eyes of a true Quincy. I saw you arrive and talk to the monk and come here to stop me. I have seen everything and you are too late," said Yhwach.

Yhwach steps to the side and reveals his giant blade in the chest of the Soul King.

"The Soul King is gone. You can no longer make any moves," said Yhwach.

"He's right. I can't make any more moves. He can see the future. He knows what I will do. Hell, he even knows what I'm thinking, but I won't fall for his trap. If I grab the sword, it will do nothing. He would probably force me to kill the Soul King. I know what to do," thought Kuroi.

"So, have you come to a decision?" asked Yhwach.

"Yeah. Ichigo, Orihime, Chad, Tatsuki, Lady Yoruichi, please leave," said Kuroi.

"What do you mean?" asked Ichigo.

"There are Sternritter that are still alive. Please deal with them. The only way that I can fight him without interruption is if his goons are defeated," said Kuroi.

"You can't fight this guy alone. You'll need our help," said Tatsuki.

"Trust me. I've spent the last nine days training. I've barely slept. I've barely eaten. If this guy wants to destroy everything, he will have to face the strongest shinigami in existence. This is my fight," said Kuroi.

"But," said Chad.

"Don't worry about me. I can handle him," said Kuroi.

"If you're sure you can handle him, then we will leave him to you. We will deal with the rest of Sternritter," said Yoruichi.

"Thank you, Yoruichi," said Kuroi.

Most of Kuroi's friends exit the room except for the redhead. Kuroi turns around and looks at his female classmate.

"Orihime, what place do you want to go?" asked Kuroi.

"I don't know," said Orihime.

"I don't believe that "I don't know" is a place that exists, but after I deal with this guy, I'll take you there. Just you and me. I promise," said Kuroi.

"I'll be rooting for you," said Orihime.

"I know. That's what I love about you," said Kuroi.

Orihime blushes, but turns around and walks away to hide her true emotions.

"Good, she's gone. Now, I can deal with you," said Kuroi.

"I can see everything. How can you beat me if you can't do anything that I haven't already seen," said Yhwach.

"I'll find a way to destroy you," said Kuroi.

"The battle of father and son can finally end," said Yhwach.

"Shut up," said Kuroi.
