If you read my story, Uryu lost all of his quincy powers perminatly. And he needs to train as a Shinigami in order to continue to fight Hollows. I'm going to make him become both a Quincy-Shinigami hybrid. He will still be a Quincy, but he will be able to purify evil spirits instead of just destroying them.

Chapter 8: Training Begins
Within Hueco Mundo is a massive black tower thousands of feet tall. It is usually hidden from most Hollows and spirits. It is Gran Torre de la Muetre(Spanish for Great Tower of Death), former castle for the Hollow King. In a gigantic circular room with a long table made from bones, Dante and Payne began arguing about the events involving Ichigo.
Dante slammed his fists on the table and said,” You shouldn't have interfered. I had Kurosaki right where I wanted him.”
Payne glared at Dante and said,” The master told us that we are not to kill Kurosaki until he reaches his full potential or that his Hollow has completely taken hold over him. What you did was unacceptable. You could have killed the one chance for our master to be free.”
Dante walked towards Payne and grabbed hold of his robes,” Didn't the prophecy also say that Kurosaki could have the power to destroy the master. While you were sitting on your fat ass, I was attempting to destroy the one threat to our master. And you were the one who stopped me. You were the one who let him live.”
Payne smirked and said,” Such bravery coming from you. But last time I checked, I was the Emissary, not you.”
Dante grabbed his sword and said,” Maybe someone should change that!” Dante unleashed a massive amount of spiritual pressure into the atmosphere and channeled it into his broadsword. He began to slash with all of his might. Until Payne stopped the sword with only his index finger. Payne then summoned his own weapon, a scimitar and unleashed an enormous wave of spiritual pressure that pushed Dante back towards the wall.
Payne walked up to Dante with a second scimitar in his hand and said,” Next time, don't underestimate me.” Payne sheathed both of his scimitars and said,” Now we need to find a way to reenter Soul Society.”
Dante got up and said,” What do you mean? We could just go in like we did last time.”
Payne glared,” It's not that easy. Now that the shinigami are aware of our return, the commander most like reset the Barrier. So that not even the master himself can get in or out.”
Dante groaned,” Great. So what are we going to do?”
Payne began to think of a plan. Then it hit him,” Perhaps someone on the inside could be useful to us. But the question is who?”
Ichigo and the gang had just finished their last week in the living world. Now things were going to be tough. They were going to be trained to become full-fledge shinigami. But before they began their training, Rukia had to take them somewhere. She took them to the second district of Rukongai.
Ichigo groaned and said,” How much longer is this going to take? We've been walking for hours.”
Rukia glared and said,” Quite your whining. You're a member of the Royal Family and not only that, you're Commander Yamamoto's grandson. Show some self-respect already.”
Orihime begins looking around and said,” Wow! Look at all of these people here. It was never like this when he were trying to rescue Rukia.”
Ishida shrugged and said,” Maybe because the shinigami were too busy trying to kill us. And now we are training to become them, and all of you are okay with this.”
Chad stopped walking and turned to Ishida,” Just because you had a bad experience with one person from a particular species doesn't mean that they are all evil. Think about it.” Then he continued walking.
Finally Rukia stopped in front of an old hut with black smoke rising from it. Rukia said,” Here we are, Masamune's forge.”
Ichigo looked up and said,” Who's Masamune?”
Rukia sighed and said,” Masamune is the one who forges the zanpakutos. I brought you guys here so that he can forge your weapons before you start your training.”
They walked in and saw that it was much larger than what it looked from the outside. All around them was various and different looking swords. Then from behind a curtain was a short man with a beer-gut. He was as short as Rukia and had a round face with a shiny bald head. He wore a pair of half-moon glasses and had on a brown apron with black rubber gloves.
He turned to Rukia and said,” Is that you Rukia-chan?! Boy you grew from the first time you came in here. Your big enough to fill out your bra.” Rukia's face became bright red. Ichigo guessed that he was Masamune.
Ishida looked impatient and said,” Look, we didn't come here for small-talk. We are here for you to forge us zanpakutos. Will you do it?”
Masamune looked at Ishida like he was sizing him up,” That depends. What do you have for me?”
Ishida looked shocked,” What are you talking about?!”
Masamune said,” Making zanpakuto isn't as easy as it looks. In order for me to forge zanpakuto for you, you have to give me something that you would never part with in a million years. Either you give me that or you all are fucked.” They hesitated for a moment. Then Orihime walked up to Masamune and gave him the remaining pieces of her hairpin. Chad walked up to him and gave him his coin. Finally, Ishida gave Masamune his Quincy cross.
Masamune smiled and said,” Great. I'll begin forging them immediately.” Then the five of them left the hut. As they left, Masamune rubbed his chin and said,” Was it me or did that orange-haired guy had the King's sword with him? Bah it's probably a coincidence.”
Ichigo stood outside of the Shinigami Academy to wait for the person who would train him. He had already said his farewells to his friends who would begin a different kind of training that he wasn't use to.
Ichigo turned around and saw that Byakuya was standing right in front of him. Ichigo was surprised.
Ichigo said,” What the hell are you doing here?!”
Byakuya, who remained emotionless said,” Come with me. We are going to begin your training immediately.”
Ichigo said,” Wait?! You're going to train me! Is this some kind of a sick joke Byakuya?”
Byakuya slapped Ichigo in the face and said,” You will address me as sensei from now on. You got that.” Ichigo glared at the noble for a moment and reluctantly nodded. As they began walking towards the 6th division, Byakuya thought it hard that this arrogant punk was the son of his former mentor.
Byakuya looked at Isshin and said,” I won't do it. I'm sorry sensei, but I won't do it.” Isshin stood in Byakuya's office after talking to Ichigo about his heritage.
Isshin smiled and said,” Still as stubborn as ever Bya-kun. It's hard to imagine that the kid who could barely pick up his zanpakuto became a captain. I heard what happened when Ichigo first came to Soul Society. I was surprised that he was able to defeat you. Even thou I taught you everything I knew.”
Byakuya said,” His Hollow took over and was able to overpower me.”
Isshin glared and said,” Maybe you just lacked passion.”
Byakuya got up and said,” What does that suppose to mean?!”
Isshin said,” Your abilities have made you arrogant. You have become overconfident that your abilities will allow you to defeat any enemy. Ichigo's determination to protect his friends and his ability to care for them increases his powers. That is why he was able to defeat you.”
Byakuya turned away from his former mentor and said,” My passion was lost a long time ago. It is something I can never get back.”
Isshin patted Byakuya's shoulder and said,” You changed since her death. I know what it feels like to lose someone you love. But unlike you, I had a family that needed me. So I needed to move on from her. I know that nothing can fill the hole that she left in your heart, but closing your heart is something I know she wouldn't want. Just do this for me.”
Byakuya looked down and said,” Either way, I wouldn't have any choice in the matter anyway?”
Isshin smiled and said,” That's the kid I used to know.”
Byakuya dragged Ichigo to the 6th division to prepare for Ichigo's training. Byakuya lead Ichigo to an area that was completely empty. Just a single room with no windows, carpet, or paint. Just a blank wooden room.
Byakuya through a futon on the ground and said,” This is where you will be staying.”
Ichigo's mouth dropped and said,” You gota be kidding me!? Just because you're my sensei doesn't mean I'm your slave.”
Byakuya unsheathed his zanpakuto and pointed the tip towards Ichigo's face,” Now listen to me Kurosaki, I don't like you and I don't want to like you. I am doing this solely as a favor to your father. My duty is to train you and nothing more. From here on in, you will do what I say when I say it. If I say jump,”
Ichigo said,” I say how high?”
Byakuya said,” No you don't say anything. You just jump.” Then Byakuya walked out of the room. As he was walking out, he said,” Get a good night sleep. We start training tmorrow. And you will need it.”
Before I go on, the canon of this story ends at chapter 348 of the manga. This will be important later.

Chapter 9: Five Years Later
Ichigo stood bare chested with Zangetsu stuck in the ground besides Senbonzakura. He had changed drastically during his training with Byakuya. He had grown since he became a full Shinigami. He stood 6'3 and was more muscular because of his intense training. His hair had grown so long, he could sit on it. Ichigo turned around and blocked an oncoming attack from Byakuya. Ichigo and Byakuya grabbed their zanpakutos and began to rapidly slash one another while parrying the other's attacks. Both of the then vanished into thin air, then reappeared floating twenty feet above the ground, slashing and parrying each other's attacks in lightning speed. Then Ichigo vanished again. He appeared fifty feet above Byakuya, with Zangetsu sheathed. Ichigo released a dropkick on Byakuya that knocked him towards the ground. Byakuya began to unleash a barrage of punches, which Ichigo blocked without any effort.
Byakuya jumped back and said,” Scatter” Then his sword broke into millions of little pieces. Each of these pieces came dashing towards Ichigo.
Ichigo then took a big breath and said,” Raikoho!” Then a massive wave of yellow spiritual energy shot out of Ichigo's hand and was able to mildly dissipate the attack. For a moment, Ichigo felt relived that the attack was canceled. Then he looked up and saw that the attack wasn't canceled, only redirected. Ichigo then became engulfed in the bright-pink spirit energy. Byakuya looked as his appearance was defeated by his Shikai. Then as the smoke cleared, Ichigo was able to use Danku, the 81st bakudo and very high level kido to protect himself from the attack. Then Ichigo canceled the kido and flash-stepped towards Byakuya and stopped his blade only centimeters away from his neck.
Ichigo smiled and said,” That was a good workout.” Then Ichigo sheathed Zangetsu and said,” Next time, I won't go easy on you sensei.”
Byakuya laughed and said,” You should be grateful that I didn't use Bankai.”
Ichigo smiled and said,” You should be grateful that I didn't use mine either.” Both of the started to laugh. Both of them realized that Ichigo's training had finally ended.
Ishida was pacing back and forth waiting for Masemune to bring them their zanpakutos. After five years of training at the Academy, the three of them had all changed. Ishida grew about three inches taller and became highly skilled in kido. Orihime also changed. She was about 5'5 and was able to grow into her developed body. At the Academy, she was average in all forms of Shinigami arts. Thou she was slightly better in kido then the others. Chad became a mammoth. He was about seven feet tall. He still remained the strong silent person that he was during his training. He excelled in hand-to-hand combat and zanjutsu.
Ishida stopped pacing for a moment and said,” Do any of you guys feel that?”
Orihime looked at Ishida and said,” Yes. It's strange. It's really powerful. It's almost like,” Before she could finish her sentence, an orange haired Shinigami wearing a black kimono and strapped to his back was a giant cleaver-like sword.
Ishida's eyes widened and said,” Ichigo?! My god is that you?!”
Ichigo smiled and said,” Yes Uryu it's me. But look at you. You actually look like a Shinigami.”
Ishida glared at the orange-haired young man and said,” Don't push it. "
Chad walked up to Ichigo and put his massive hand on his shoulder and said,” You've become stronger Ichigo. We've all felt it.” Ichigo turned around and shook the larger man's hand.
Orihime ran up to Ichigo and gave him a big hug and said,” It's so great to see you again Kurosaki-kun. What have you been doing all this time?”
Ichigo said,” I'll tell you guys later but first, Orihime, you're crushing me.” Orihime quickly let go and blushed.
Then Masamune walked out of the room with three weapons in his hands and said,” Sorry to keep you guys waiting. I had a bat stuck in the cave if you know what I mean.” Then Masemune laughed as he gave the three of them their zanpakutos. The first one he gave to Orihime, an elegant raiper with a rose handguard. Then Ishida, two small and thin katanas that possibly are able to connect. And Chad, a wakizashi with the picture of a bull on the blade. The three of them bowed in respect to the zanpakuto forger and left the tiny hut. The four Shinigami then decided to go to the local bar, to tell of the training they went through.

Chapter 10: Old Friends, New Looks
Yamamoto looked at Byakuya when he began to inform him about Ichigo's training. Yamamoto knew that Ichigo had become stronger. He could feel his immense spiritual pressure from his office.
Byakuya said,” He has advanced farther than any shinigami I have ever met. He completely mastered Bankai and is able to use all the styles of Zanjutsu. His kido skills possess the same growth as his other abilities. He is able to use level 85 Bakudo and Hado.”
Yamamoto glared at the young Captain and said,” Impossible. Even Captain Hitsugaya wasn't able to reach that level in that short amount of time! How powerful do you think he is?”
Byakuya cleared his throat and said,” From what I had seen of Kurosaki, he may be twice, maybe three times as powerful as myself. But if he ever learns to control his inner Hollow and his divine spiritual energy, his powers could be infinite.”
Yamamoto nodded,” That will be all.” Yamamoto looked down and began sorted his papers. He looked up again and saw that Byakuya was still there.
Byakuya said,” If I am allowed to speak, I would like Kurosaki to be raised to Captain status immediately.”
Yamamoto slammed his papers on his desk and said,” Out of the question! He is not qualified to be a Captain.”
Byakuya gave the Commander a smirk and said,” Let's see. He achieved Bankai, mastered all four forms of Shinigami combat, defeated three Captains in combat, killed one of them, and could possibly defeat you. I think that is more than enough.” Byakuya continued to glared at Yamamoto.
Yamamoto said,” The next Captaincy test is in three months. If he is able to pass all four tests, I'll consider it.”
Byakuya smiled,” Who ever you pit him up against, Kurosaki will defeat them no problem.”
Yamamoto gave the nobleman an evil smirk,” We'll see.”
Ichigo was sipping on sake while Orihime told him about their time at the Academy. They were laughing, having a good time.
Ishida looked at Ichigo and said,” So Ichigo, I see you haven't changed.”
Ichigo stopped sipping his cup and said,” What do you mean?”
Ichida said,” You're still leaking spiritual energy. I though that after five years of training, you would at least be able to hide some of your spiritual energy.”
Ichigo said,” I have.” Then Ichigo put up his arm and revealed a black wristband with the image of a skull on it. " Even though I am able to control my spiritual pressure, I wasn't able to hide all of it. So Byakuya made this in order to seal what I couldn't hide. What you sense now is the same as when I first started training.”
" You probably have enough spiritual energy to level Soul Society.” said an all to familiar voice.
Ichigo turned around and saw Rukia behind him. He was stunned. She had changed so much since they left. She grew to about 5 feet. She had a slender build and her tight robe showed all of her curves and areas of her body she was embarrassed to show before. Her hair was longer, not by a lot, but longer. She had a sash that revealed her to be the lieutenant of the 13th division. Ichigo was in awe.
Rukia smiled and said,” You okay?”
Ichigo snapped himself back into reality and said,” Yeah. It's just been a while that's all.”
Orihime pushed Ichigo out of the way and said,” It's great to see you again Rukia-san.” She bowed respectfully to Rukia. Little midget bitch. Then shoots back up and begins laughing.
Ishida said,” It's nice to see you again Rukia. It feels like old times doesn't it?”
Chad remained silent. But he turned towards Rukia and smiled.
Then Renji walks up to Ichigo and said,” So the Savior of Soul Society returns.” He then give Ichigo a hug. Renji hadn't changed much since training began. But Ichigo did notice that Renji was wearing a Captain's robe with the 3rd division insignia on it.
Ichigo smiled and said,” It's good to see you too. So do I call you Renji or Captain Abarai?”
Renji smirked,” Normally you would call me Captain. But I'll make an exception in your case.”
"KUROSAKI!!” yelled Kenpachi running towards Ichigo at full speed with Yachiru always on his back.
Ichigo shrugged and said,” Oh great.”
Kenpachi stopped and said,” Kurosaki, you are finally done your training. Now we can fight to the death.” Then Kenpachi unsheathed his nameless zanpakuto and began laughing manically.
Ishida sighed and said,” When will this guy take the hint?”
Ichigo smiled and said,” Sure. I'll duel you. I'll met you in one hour.”
Kenpachi just began laughing and started running off.
Rukia and Orihime slapped Ichigo in the back of his head and said in unison,” What the hell did you do that for?!”
Ichigo said,” I did it for two reasons. One, I need a way to show off my skills. And two, it will be that only way to make him stop.”
Ishida said,” This is crazy Ichigo. He could kill you.”
Ichigo began to laugh and said,â Uryu, you should worry about Kenpachi. He's the one whose in for a world of hurt.”
Yamamoto looked at Byakuya when he began to inform him about Ichigo's training. Yamamoto knew that Ichigo had become stronger. He could feel his immense spiritual pressure from his office.
Byakuya said,” He has advanced farther than any shinigami I have ever met. He completely mastered Bankai and is able to use all the styles of Zanjutsu. His kido skills possess the same growth as his other abilities. He is able to use level 85 Bakudo and Hado.”

Byakuya smiled,” Who ever you pit him up against, Kurosaki will defeat them no problem.”
Yamamoto gave the nobleman an evil smirk,” We'll see.”
Ichigo was sipping on sake while Orihime told him about their time at the Academy. They were laughing, having a good time.
Ishida looked at Ichigo and said,” So Ichigo, I see you haven't changed.”
Ichigo stopped sipping his cup and said,” What do you mean?”
Ichida said,” You're still leaking spiritual energy. I though that after five years of training, you would at least be able to hide some of your spiritual energy.”
Ichigo said,” I have.” Then Ichigo put up his arm and revealed a black wristband with the image of a skull on it. " Even though I am able to control my spiritual pressure, I wasn't able to hide all of it. So Byakuya made this in order to seal what I couldn't hide. What you sense now is the same as when I first started training.”
" You probably have enough spiritual energy to level Soul Society.” said an all to familiar voice.
Ichigo turned around and saw Rukia behind him. He was stunned. She had changed so much since they left. She grew to about 5 feet. She had a slender build and her tight robe showed all of her curves and areas of her body she was embarrassed to show before. Her hair was longer, not by a lot, but longer. She had a sash that revealed her to be the lieutenant of the 13th division. Ichigo was in awe.
Rukia smiled and said,” You okay?”
Ichigo snapped himself back into reality and said,” Yeah. It's just been a while that's all.”
Orihime pushed Ichigo out of the way and said,” It's great to see you again Rukia-san.” She bowed respectfully to Rukia. Little midget bitch. Then shoots back up and begins laughing.
Ishida said,” It's nice to see you again Rukia. It feels like old times doesn't it?”
Chad remained silent. But he turned towards Rukia and smiled.
Then Renji walks up to Ichigo and said,” So the Savior of Soul Society returns.” He then give Ichigo a hug. Renji hadn't changed much since training began. But Ichigo did notice that Renji was wearing a Captain's robe with the 3rd division insignia on it.
Ichigo smiled and said,” It's good to see you too. So do I call you Renji or Captain Abarai?”
Renji smirked,” Normally you would call me Captain. But I'll make an exception in your case.”
"KUROSAKI!!” yelled Kenpachi running towards Ichigo at full speed with Yachiru always on his back.
Ichigo shrugged and said,” Oh great.”
Kenpachi stopped and said,” Kurosaki, you are finally done your training. Now we can fight to the death.” Then Kenpachi unsheathed his nameless zanpakuto and began laughing manically.
Ishida sighed and said,” When will this guy take the hint?”
Ichigo smiled and said,” Sure. I'll duel you. I'll met you in one hour.”
Kenpachi just began laughing and started running off.
Rukia and Orihime slapped Ichigo in the back of his head and said in unison,” What the hell did you do that for?!”
Ichigo said,” I did it for two reasons. One, I need a way to show off my skills. And two, it will be that only way to make him stop.”
Ishida said,” This is crazy Ichigo. He could kill you.”
Ichigo began to laugh and said,â Uryu, you should worry about Kenpachi. He's the one whose in for a world of hurt.”

Chapter 11: The Strongest Swordsman
The 11th division was dirty. Rundown. Homes had gaping holes in the walks, slash marks that dug into the ground, and all of the members of the division heavily wounded and bloodied. This was because the 11th division was known for one thing and one thing only: close-range combat. They are always at a constant state of war and combat. What they lack in Kido, Flash-steps, or hand-to-hand combat, they make up for it with expert swordsmanship and an equally matched ferocity. The rest of Soul Society had mixed feelings about the 11th division. They are respected as master swordsmen and near unstoppable combatants, but at the same time looked down upon by being savage brutes. Ichigo walked into the entrance of the 11th division. He cut his long hair before the battle so that it would not be used against him. Knowing that Kenpatchi was unpredictable. Crowds formed around Ichigo as he saw Kenpatchi standing like a statue. Ichigo turned around and saw that his friends were in the crowd, but extremely difficult to find because of the members of the 11th division shouting and cheering Kenpatchi on.
Kenpatchi began laughing and said,” I've been waiting a long time for this Kurosaki! And I'll make sure that we will both enjoy this fight. I guarantee it.” Then Kenpatchi dashed towards Ichigo with his nameless zanpakuto at the ready. But Ichigo simply moved out of Kenpatchi's path and tripped him with his foot. Kenpatchi then fell face first on the ground. The crowd was silent, except for Ichigo's friends, who were laughing at Kenpatchi.
Kenpatchi shot right back up and said,” Stop playing around and fight me!” Then Kenpatchi slashed at Ichgio. But again, Ichigo moved out of the blade's path, leaving him untouched. Kenpatchi realized that his sword was now stuck in the ground. Before Kenpatchi was able to pull it out, Ichigo gave him a roundhouse kick to the face and launched him towards on of the worn-out buildings. Kenpatchi crashed into the building, causing it to fall apart. Kenpatchi got out of the rubble and saw Ichigo standing over him, with Kenpatchi's own sword at his throat.
Ichigo walked away from Kenpatchi and dropped his sword in front of him. Ichigo unsheathed Zangetsu and said,” If you are done fooling around, I actually want to fight.” Then an explosion of spiritual pressure was unleashed. Kenpatchi rose up from the ashes and slashed the air with his sword. Then a wave of spiritual energy was launched at Ichigo. Ichigo jumped out of the way and saw that five well-built buildings, were completely destroyed.
Kenpatchi laughed and said,” You're not the only one who learned some new tricks. I am not have learned my zanpakuto's name, but I learned some techniques. That was Majinken(Demon God Sword). Now we fight for real!” Then Kenpatchi dashed towards Ichigo and unleashed a barrage of slashes at him. But Ichigo parried the attacks and countered by sweep-kicking his feet, slashing him in the chest, and jumping ten feet away from the psychopathic captain. Kenpatchi was getting angrier by the second. Ichigo was able to give him a good slash on his chest while he wasn't able to give Ichigo as much as a scratch. Kenpatchi then gave Ichigo a loud roar as he exploded with spiritual pressure. He dashed towards Ichigo, dragging his sword on the ground, gathering spiritual energy for a final attack. Ichigo then dashed towards Kenpatchi, with Zangetsu dragging on the ground. As Kenpatchi was dashing towards Ichigo, he began laughing hysterically as he got closer and closer to the orange haired shinigami. Then there was a sudden explosion when the two collided. No one could see what had happened because of the massive amount of dust gathering around the area. When the smoke finally cleared, the crowd saw a sight they thought they would never see. They saw Ichigo, standing completely untouched by the attack. Then they saw Kenpatchi on the ground, with his left arm completely sliced off. The entire 11th division was silent. Their captain, a man who would continue fighting even if he was near death, was defeated. Ichigo sheathed Zangetsu and walked away from his defeated adversary.
" I still can't believe you did that Ichigo,” said Rukia slapping him in the back of head, " Why the hell would you do something like that?”
Ichigo smiled and said,” For motivation.”
Everyone was clueless about what Ichigo said. Ishida looked at Ichigo and said,” What would severing a man's arm do as a motivator?”
Ichigo said,” Think about it for a second. By me defeating Kenpatchi like that, it will drive him to trying to best me anyway he can. That means that he will have to learn his zanpakuto's name and eventually, Bankai.”
Rukia smiled and said,” So the only reason you fought with Kenpatchi was so he can learn his zanpakuto's name. A little crude, but ultimately a great plan.” Then everyone waved goodbye to each other as they went to their respected divisions. Tomorrow would be their first day as being real shinigami.
Payne stood in a dark room, looking at a man in a while cloak working on a massive tube filled with spiritual energy.
Payne looked at the man and said,” How is the resurrection process going Virgil? Is our specimen ready to be reborn?”
Virgil looked at Payne and said,” Forgive me Master, but this takes time. Besides we don't know what we are going to expect when the process will be completed. Arrancar are abominations. They forcibly removed their masks to gain shinigami powers. Why would the King want this fake Maestro resurrected?”
Payne put his hand on Virgil's soldier and said,” Because he is unique. Out of all the Arrancar, he was the closest to becoming a Maestro. He will be our greatest weapon.” Then the ground started to shake, vials of liquids and chemicals were falling off the shelves. Then the massive tube filled with spiritual energy began to crack. Payne merely smiled as the Arrancar was beginning to be reborn. Then suddenly, the entire tube exploded. Shards of glass scattered everywhere. Payne walked over to where the tube once stood and saw a very pale man laying on the floor. Payne looked down and saw a number on the man's chest. The number 4.

Chapter 12: The Exile
Two men were standing in a desert. These men were polar opposites to one another. One was dressed all in white, with a white cloak covering his face and holding a katana with a white blade. The other man looked exactly the same as the other man, only he was dressed all in black. The two men then dashed towards one another and begam rapidly slashing each other. The man in white broke away from the man in black and unleashed a massive amount of spiritual energy, but the man in black dashed towards the wave of energy and slashed through it as if it were nothing. Then the man in black dashed towards the man in white and began slashing and parrying his attacks. Then a massive amount of spiritual pressure was released. It had the destructive force of a nuclear bomb. As the smoke cleared, only the man in black remained. He removed his hood to reveal himself: Ichigo's Inner Hollow.
Ichigo woke up in a cold sweat. He had had that same dream for three weeks. He had no idea of what the dream was suppose to mean. But whatever the case, he had a lot of stuff he had to do today. For some reason, Commander Yamamoto has been ill for the passed couple of days. So natrually, Ichigo had to do all of the work that the Commander would normally do, that was the duty of the lieutenant. Ichigo then puts on his shinigami outfit, his lieutenant's sash, and his enormous cleaver-like zanpakuto. As he walks outside, he feels a strange spiritual energy. It was almost the same as when he fought Dante.
Kenpachi woke up with a massive headache. He looked at his side and saw his left arm was completely cut off. It took him a while to realize that he was in the 4th division medical center. Just as he was about to get up and leave, Captain Unohana walked into the room.
She pinned Kenpachi back onto the bed and said,” You shouldn't be up. Your wound hasn't healed completely yet.”
Kenpachi shrugged her off and said,” I don't need your help. I don't need anybody's help. Especially from you wimps.” Then Kenpachi began to unleash his spiritual pressure, trying to push the other captain away. But Unohana wasn't fazed by Kenpachi's power. Unohana simply put a finger on Kenpachi's forehead. Then unleashed a small amount of her spiritual energy and paralyzed Kenpachi. He dropped back to his bed like a bolder.
Unohana looked at the captain and said,” Share power is nothing unless you know how to use it. I can help you Kenpachi. I'll give you some time to think about it. Considering that your entire body will be paralyzed for several hours.” She then gave him a smile and left the room.
Ichigo continued to groan as he looked at all of the papers that usually the Commander would have to look at. But the worst part of this job was that the massive piles of paper never ended. As soon as he finished one pile, one of the unseated officers would walk into the room and give him another gigantic pile of papers. Ichigo then looked outside and saw Rukia sparing with some of the new recruits to the 13th division. She was able to take out a couple of them with kido, but one of them was able to beat her with swordsmanship. Maybe I should ask Rukia if she would let me train her in zanjutsu. It might give her an edge in combat. Wait, what the hell am I saying? Rukia would never let ME train her. So Ichigo went back to his work until one of the unseated officers dashed into the room, panting and sweating.
The unseated officer looked up and Ichigo and said,” Lieutenant Kurosaki, there is a Maestro at the gate.”
Ichigo's eyes widened,” Are you sure?”
The officer said,” Yes. What should we do?” Ichigo thought about what course of action he should take. Then he looked at the officer and said,” Sound the alarm, gather all of the captains at the front of the gate with me, and have the lieutenants behind the gate just in case the Maestro breaks through the captains. Go NOW!!” And the officer flash-stepped as fast as he could while Ichigo grabbed Zangetsu and dashed towards the gate.
Everyone was gathered inside the closed gate. Ichigo looked at everyone and wasn't sure that they would stand a chance. Gotei 13 wasn't at it's full strength and was still weak after the Winter War. Ichigo looked at everyone and said,” I'll go out first, I don't think I'll be able to defeat it. But maybe we can capture it and get some answers. When I give you guys the signal, I want the 2nd division to bind him with anything you can. You got that?” Captain Soifon nodded. As the gates opened, Ichigo walked outside to meet the Maestro.
Ichigo was surprised with the massive size of this Maestro. He was over 8 feet tall and very muscular. He wore a brown cloak with a gray turbin. He carried a gigantic club and had an oni mask attached to his belt. His eyes were baby blue and had bronze skin.
The Maestro looked at Ichigo and said,” You must be Ichigo. I heard a lot about you from my little brother Dante.”
Ichigo looked confused,” Wait, Dante's your brother?!”
The Maestro smiled and said,” Yes he is. But he is a lot more aggressive than I am. By the way, I know that you are going to try to capture me, so let me save you the trouble by allowing you to capture me. Don't worry, I won't put up a fight or try to resist.” Ichigo then gave them the signal and the 2nd division was able to capture him. And like he said, the Maestro did not struggle or attempt to fight back.
Captain Soifon was sitting in the interrogation room with the Maestro. She glared at him with much rage and fury, but all he did was sit there and smile.
She slammed her fists to the table and said,” I am going to ask you a bunch of questions and you are going to answer them. You got that Maestro?”
The Maestro said,” Hector.”
Soifon said,” What?!”
The Maestro smiled and said,” My name. It's Hector Museveni. And there is no need to be scared of me captain. I have no intention of harming you are anyone else here.”
Soifon started to sweat a little bit. How could he know that she was afraid,” Shut up and answer my questions. First what is your status as a Maestro?”
Hector said,” I am the Caballero of the Jaque mate Cinco. I am the most powerful of all of the Caballero Maestros. And to answer your next questions: My reason for coming here was to ask for your protection from Payne and the others.”
Soifon looked at Hector and said,” How did you know that I was scared of you and what my next question was going to be?”
Hector said,” Each member of the Jaque mate Cinco has a unique ability given to them by the Hollow King. Like Dante's ability to manipulate time and space. My power however is to read the thoughts and emotions of anyone I want. It was suppose to help me in battle to target my enemy's weakness. If you would like, can we finish this questioning tomorrow? I am very tired and I would be like to go to my cell.”
Soifon wanted to smack this man into the ground. But she felt very tired. So she asked Captain Hitsugaya to escourt Hector to his cell. She then started to wonder was Hector really tired or did he sense that she was getting tired and said that just so she didn't work too hard.
Hitsugaya walked behind Hector while they were entering the prison area.
Hector said,” That wouldn't be good idea you know.”
Hitsugaya looked confused,” What the hell are you talking about?!”
Hector said,” Killing me. You see unlike the other Maestro, the members of Jaque mate Cinco have a unique way of cheating death. When one of us dies, our memories, power, and fighting skills will be transferred to another Maestro within that status to take our place. In other words, if you kill me now, another will take my place. Someone younger and more powerful than I am.”
When they went to the cell, the bars began to open. Hitsugaya said,” Get in. You will be monitored every three hours. I'll be taking the first watch.”
Hector walked into the cell and said,” I envy you. You have what we Hollows can never have.”
Hitsugaya said,” What are you talking about?”
Hector said,” I can read your thoughts Toshiro. I know where you want to be right now. But you can't because of me. I really am sorry that you can't be with them. But I do want you to know I am sorry. And don't worry, I won't tell anyone about your little secret. I don't want to get you and Momo in trouble.” Then Hitsugaya glared at this Maestro. He was probably the most dangerous person in this prison because he coulb read your thoughts and use them against you.

You mentioned that you like feedback, so I'll try and be as detailed as I can.
First of all, I have really enjoyed reading this, the writing is good and the story line is great. I was surprised to see Yama-jii being so "evil" its an interesting twist.
The only thing as far as improvments would be to include a lot more character development in terms of interpersonal relationships. Not that your not doing it now, but a balance between fights and the relationship between Rukia, Chad, Orihime and Kurosaki would be great.
keep up the good work, idk if your still posting here, and if your not, then can somebody post a link to where the rest of the story is?

The only thing as far as improvments would be to include a lot more character development in terms of interpersonal relationships. Not that your not doing it now, but a balance between fights and the relationship between Rukia, Chad, Orihime and Kurosaki would be great.
keep up the good work, idk if your still posting here, and if your not, then can somebody post a link to where the rest of the story is?

Chapter 13: The Watch
Renji starting glaring at Hector as he was staring out into the night's sky. It had been a half hour since he switched shifts with Hitsugaya. Renji had mixed feelings about Hector. On the one hand, he was not only a Maestro, but one of the five most powerful and leaders of the Maestro. But at the same time, he didn't seem like a major threat.
Hector turned around and said," Why do you do what you do?"
Renji looked at the Maestro confused," What do you mean?!"
Hector smiled and said," I mean why do you fight? What is your reason for fighting?"
Renji smirked and said," That's an easy one: to become stronger."
Hector shook his head," No that is not your reason. It is a reason to fighting, but it is not your true reason. Only you and I know what your true reason is."
Renji glared at Hector and said," So tell me, Mr. Psychic, what is my reason for fighting?"
Hector said," Your reason is to earn the love of Rukia."
Renji's face went red and said," That's not true. Rukia has nothing to do with my fighting."
Hector said," You cannot fool me Captian. She was your only friend, but when you entered the Academy, she didn't notice you. So you did everything you could so that she would notice you. Becoming a lieutenant, achieving Bankai, perfecting your kido, and now becoming captain. You were able to achieve all of these things in such a short amount of time. Tell me, am I wrong?”
Renji glared at the Maestro with a blind fury, but then calmed down,” At first it was because of Rukia. But as time went on, I found that after everything we both went through, we are just friends. To be honest, I don't have a reason to fight.”
Hector smiled and said,” Well then we have to find you something worth fighting for.” Hector then picked up a bottle of sake and poured Renji a drink,” It is my own personal belief that a person is only at their strongest when they are protecting something important or important to them. Whether it is a material object or someone they love, a person will try anything to protect it. Thereby surpassing their limits and reaching their full potential. Oh, here have a drink.” And Hector gave the small cup to Renji.
Renji drank the cup and said,” Thank you. So tell me, what's your reason?”
Hector looked down at the ground and said,” I'm looking for something. But I can't talk about it right now. Your shift will be ending soon.” Then Renji got up and looked at the Maestro as he left the room. He thought that all Hollows were evil, now he wasn't sure.
Rukia leaned against the wall as Hector sat in a meditated state. He had not spoke a word since she got here. Then all of a sudden, Hector got up and said," Do you believe in fate?"
Rukia looked at the high-ranking Maestro and said," What?"
Hector looked at Rukia with a smile and said," Do you believe in fate? I was just curious.”
Rukia looked away from him and said,” I'm not going to answer that question.”
Hector looked puzzeled,” Why not?!”
Rukia said,” Because you can read my mind. There really is no point in answering the question because you no the answer before I can respond.”
Hector shook his head and said,” Not with you I can't.”
Rukia then looked confused,” What do you mean?”
Hector said,” Normally when I try to read minds or sense emotions, I fell something. But for some odd reason, I can't sense anything from you. It's almost like you are shielded by something. Or maybe I'm getting rusty. By the way, I want to ask you a question if it is okay?”
Rukia glared at Hector and said,” What is it?”
Hector said,” What do you feel about Ichigo Kurosaki?”
Rukia's face suddenly went red. She began blinking really fast and started sweating profusely. " Ichigo is just a friend. Nothing more, nothing less.”
Hector laughed and said,” Miss Rukia, I may not be able to sense your emotions, but I know when someone is lying. Tell me the truth, do you love him?”
Rukia lowered her head and said,” Yes. I love him.”
Hector clapped his hands and said,” Was that so difficult? Now why don't you go tell him of how you feel?”
Rukia said,” Because it's too complicated.”
Hector said,” If there is one thing I know, that is love is never complicated. Why do you feel it is?”
Rukia looked grim and said,” Because the last time I fell in love with was killed. Also a friend of mine also cares deeply for him as well. I don't want to hurt her by doing something like that. And I don't want to be in a relationship with Ichigo because if he dies, I don't want to feel that pain again.”
Hector remained silent. Until he got up and said,” Have you ever heard the saying,' it's better to have loved an lost than to have never loved at all'? Sounds cliche but trust me, those words are true.”
Rukia said,” I'm going to go, my shifts over.”
Before Rukia walked away, Hector got up and said,” Think about what I said. You'll find out that I'm right.” Then Rukia walked away. Knowing that the next person will have their secrets ripped out of them.
Ichigo sat down, staring at Hector for a long time. This was boring. All Hector was doing was sitting there in a meditated state.
As soon as Ichigo jumped up in frustration, Hector looked at him and said,” You won't be able to beat them. You are not strong enough. Not yet?”
Ichigo looked at him and said,” What the hell are you talking about?”
Hector said,” I am saying that you aren't ready to fight Dante or Payne. They will kill you with out breaking a sweat.”
Ichigo said,” Well I'm stronger than I was when I first fought Dante, now I thing I can take him.”
Hector said,” He was holding back. Because we are so powerful, each member of Jaque mate Cinco must conseal our spiritual pressure before leaving Hueco Mundo. Our powers are split in three parts, our bodies, our weapons, and our masks. When you fought Dante, he was barely trying. If he was able to use his full power, he would have destroyed you instantly.”
Ichigo said,” I had no idea that the Jaque mate Cinco were that powerful. And I still have nightmates about the Arrancar.”
Hector said,” You are a Vizard are you not?”
Ichigo looked at him and said,” Yeah, so what?”
Hector said,” It's strange. I have fought against Vizards before. When I fought them, they were two different entities, one shinigami and one hollow, occupying the same body. But when I look at you, I see one entity with two vastly different spiritual energies: one shinigami and one hollow.”
Ichigo looked a little shocked,” What does that mean?”
Hector said,” I am saying that your hollow is a manifestation of something that layed dormant inside you for years. It only appeared recently because it finally had a chance to take a physical form.”
Ichigo said,” So what, my hollow is basically a split personallity?”
Hector said,” In a way, yes. But the difference is that he is aware of what he is. And he doesn't want to be a dormant part of your psyche. He wants complete control.”
Ichigo said,” Great. First I was worried about an evil spirit trying to take control of my body. Not it turns our that I'm a freakin schizo.”
Hector said,” It's not that simple. The split personallity has, over time, become a hollow. In a way, it's a little bit of both. But in any case, you must be able to defeat him.”
Ichigo said,” What happens if I don't?”
Hector said,” Your hollow is the only thing keeping you away from achieving divine spirit energy. If your hollow becomes the dominate personallity, the Hollow King will use it to destroy everything, Earth, Soul Society, maybe even Hell. You must make sure that doesn't happen. You must defeat him.”
Ichigo unsheathed Zangetsu and said,” I've had enough of this. You are going to tell me why you are here? What do you want? And I want to know NOW!”
Hector only smiled and said,” I will tell everyone tomorrow. But right now, I'm tired.” Hector walked back to his bunk and decided to go to sleep. Ichigo then leaned against the wall and continued to watch Hector.
Hitsugaya flash-stepped across the 5th division bunkers, trying to make sure that he was not seen by anyone. He walked up to Hinamori's bunker, until he sees some of the guards doing their nightly patrol. He quickly walked into the bunker without being seen. As he entered, Hitsugaya smiled when he saw Hinamori holding a one-year old baby boy with silver hair.
Renji starting glaring at Hector as he was staring out into the night's sky. It had been a half hour since he switched shifts with Hitsugaya. Renji had mixed feelings about Hector. On the one hand, he was not only a Maestro, but one of the five most powerful and leaders of the Maestro. But at the same time, he didn't seem like a major threat.

Chapter 14: An Old Nightmare
Payne walked down a spiral staircase that was hundreds of feet below the castle. He finally entered a dark room filled with glowing blue orbs and a throne made of gold. Sitting on the throne was a skeleton with cloven hoves for feet and and two ram-like horns on it's head. Payne then bowed to the skeleton and said,” You wished to see me, my lord?”
Then the eyes of the skeleton glew crimson and said,” How is the progress of the Espada?”
Payne smiled and said,” It is going beyond what can be expected. His spiritual energy is equal to that of my own. Like you told me, he will be our greatest weapon.”
The skeleton's eyes looked down at Payne and said,” There is something you are not telling me. Something of great importance. But what could it be? Oh, is it that HECTOR IS STILL ALIVE!” Then two beams of lightning-like ceros shot out of the skeleton's eyes and began electrocuting Payne and then launched him ten feet across the room,” If he was destroyed when I gave you the order a hundred years ago, we wouldn't have the problems we would have now! Over this hundred year period, we have seen abominations that defy the nature of hollow and shinigami. The arrancar, the Vizards, all of whom should not exist. But they have given us some things that have proven useful. Like our little friend. I want you to send our friend to Soul Society. To remind Hector of what happens to those who disobey me.”
Payne gets up and said,” Sure thing my lord. I will remind them of what happens when one messes with the Hollow King.”
The skeleton of the Hollow King looks down at Payne and said,” Along with Hector, have the Espada kill the Kyuuseishu. We must make sure that he doesn't live long enough to fullfill the prophecy.”
"But my Lord,” said Payne looking at his master with a curious look,” But doesn't the prophecy say that the Kyuuseishu will also serve as the champion of the Hollows as well as the champion of the shinigami? I say that we wait and see what he has in store for us.”
"I'll tell you what he has enstore for us,” said the Hollow King,” My destruction. If he gains his full power, the Kyuuseishu will have enough strength to rival myself. We must make sure that he doesn't gain that kind of power. Do you understand, Damien?”
The emissary looked at his king and said,” As you wish my lord. Anything else you want me to do, my liege?”
"Yes,” said the Hollow King with an almost snake-like voice,” Send our little experiment to Soul Society. Show those vile shinigami who they are messing with.” Then the eyes faded into darkness.
Hector was soundly asleep in his cell. Smilling and dreaming of a better life. Until he jolted out of his bunk, breathing heavily and gripping his heart. He started sweating profusely and began coughing up blood.
" Hate. So much hate,” said the Maestro as he passed out onto the floor, " so much hate directed at one person. So much power. ” Then he was knocked onto the wall, as if he was shoved by some unknown force. Then one of the passing guards saw Hector knocked out and immediately ran to the 4th division to get some help.
At the gates of Soul Society, a figure in a black hooded cloak walked towards the gate.
One of the guards unsheated their zanpakuto and said,” State your business. We cannot let you pass with out knowing your intentions.”
The cloaked figure merely laughed and said,” Murder. Death. Slaughter.” Then the cloaked figure unsheathed his sword and dashed towards the guard and sliced his head off without a moments thought.
The other guard began shivering with fear as he began to open the gate. But the cloaked figure turned to him, pointed to him with his index finger, and unleashed a green colored cero that vaporized the guard.
Ichigo, Rukia, Renji, and everyone else that was on guard duty for Hector was in the 4th division looking at Hector laying down on a bed.
Captain Unohana said,” He is stable for now, but what ever happened to him left a lot of internal damage to his heart. It was almost as if something was actually choking his heart from the insides.”
Renji glared and said,” The bastard probably did this to himself. Probably didn't want to get interrogated by Soifon, so he did all of this to try to get out of it.”
Ichigo looked at him and said,” I don't think so. He told me that he was going to tell us everything today. Also, I don't think that it's possible for someone to do this to themselves.”
" So much anger. So much death.” groaned Hector as he regained consciousness.
Ichigo walked over to Hector and said,” What are you talking about?”
Hector rolled over and said,” Something is coming, or is already here. I have never felt so much anger and hate directed at one person. His rage is actually powerful enough to cause me physical pain.”
Rukia looked at Hector and said,” What is it? What is it after?”
Renji chuckled and said,” It's obviously after him. He probably sent some of his goons to pick him up.”
Hector groaned and said,” No. These belong to Payne. It is a Rey. But it is different. It's after someone.”
Rukia said,” Who?!”
Hector looked at Ichigo and said,” You.” Then he passed out.
Ichigo dashed outside with Zangetsu unsheathed and saw a most frightening sight. Over a hundred shinigami were dead around him. Some beheaded. Some sliced in half. He then saw the figure that caused this desaster. The cloaked figure then removed his hood and began licking the blood of his sword. Ichigo was stunned. The person who caused this massacre was the one person who ever scared him to the point of death. The one person who came close to actually killing him. Ulquiorra Cifer, former 4th Espada in Aizen's Arrancar army, was back from the dead.

Hey, I just read the story so far and I think it is a great story. Very well thought out and developed. I am highly anticipating the next chapter.
I do want to make one suggestion, and that would be to proofread your material before you post it as some of the sections could be hard to understand
For instance in Chapter 10, you wrote
At first I didn't realize that Orihime had said under her breath "Little midget bitch" and was very confused w/ that sentence. It would have been easier to understand if writen something more like this
By adding just a few words and quotation marks, the words flow a lot easier and are more understandable.
A couple of tricks I learned that makes proofreading easy is,
1. Read what you write out loud. I found that this is best done some time after you have completed writing. Get up, walk away and go do something else for a few. Grab a bite to eat, watch some tv, play a video game, get laid, whatever. Just step away and get your mind of what you just wrote.
2. Have someone else read your work. An outside opinion is very useful. They will see the things you don't catch. Even after stepping away.
3. Read your work backwards. This is the most time consuming process, but just as effective as having a friend read what you just wrote. You will also catch more mistakes than if you just walk away for a few.
I suggest using a at least 2 of the methods listed here. My personal preference is 1 & 2 (as 3 is too time consuming, especially for longer chapters.) But by using just one of these, you will notice that your writing will flow better and will be much easier to read.

Sry for the double post, I decided to break this up into 2 posts to make it easier to read
As for an idea for the next chapter, obviously Ichigo is going to be fighting Ulquiorra. I suggest going back in the manga and re-familiarizing yourself w/ Ulquiorra's abilities,
He should have some of his old abilities (just more powerfull) along w/ some new abilites
In addition, I recommend that you avoid the pitfall of Kubo by refusing to kill a charater. Death is a powerfull and effective plot device. Here would be a good time to take atvantage of that. You shouldn't kill any major player like Orihime/Rukia (still have the whole love triangle to work out) Chad/Ishida (along w/ Orihime they just got their Zanpakuto's) or Renji.
Another path you could take is by bringing in another character that you haven't yet used from the manga to help Ichigo in his fight. Ikakku would be a good choice (he wasn't even mentioned in the "WTF!...PWNed!" of Kenpachi) or have an appearance of Mr. HatandClogs and Catwoman... Urahara (he always shows up when and where he is needed most) and Yuroichi (cannot have Urahara show up w/out his special feline friend)
You dont have to use these, i was just throwing out some sugestions that I think would help extend the story. But I do hope this helps you get the creative juices going.
Happy Writing!
As for an idea for the next chapter, obviously Ichigo is going to be fighting Ulquiorra. I suggest going back in the manga and re-familiarizing yourself w/ Ulquiorra's abilities,
dont click unless you've read that fight
In addition, I recommend that you avoid the pitfall of Kubo by refusing to kill a charater. Death is a powerfull and effective plot device. Here would be a good time to take atvantage of that. You shouldn't kill any major player like Orihime/Rukia (still have the whole love triangle to work out) Chad/Ishida (along w/ Orihime they just got their Zanpakuto's) or Renji.
Suggestions for death, dont click unless you want to read possible spoilers

Chapter 15: Revenge
Ulquiorra glared at Ichigo as he continued to lick the blood off of his zanpakuto. Ichigo was unable to move. He was too scared to respond. Images of his final battle with Ulquiorra. The only thing he could do was shiver in fear.
Ulquiorra moved in the speed of light and prepared to strike with his zanpakuto. But Ichigo parried with Zangetsu and pushed Ulquiorra back five feet. Ichigo looked at the Arrancar and said,” It's not possible, I killed you.”
Ulquiorra through Ichigo to the ground with his powerful tail. Orihime and Ishida were at awe. Their friend was dead. The one who was more powerful than either of them was lost forever. Ishida dashed towards the Espada and fired thousands of arrows at him. But sadly, they had no effect. Ulquirorra counters by unleashing his own attack that completely severs the Quincy's left arm. Ishida quickly back away from the monsterous creature, but the loss of blood was too much for him. He tripped on a piece of debris and looked up and saw the angel of death. He prepared to stab Ishida with his tail, but suddenly Ulquirorra felt a surge of pain. His tail was cut clean off. He looked to see what caused it, and saw Ichigo bloodied and breathing heavily. The hole in his chest had vanished. Then a tornado of reiatsu was sorrounding Ichigo. Ichigo then slashed Zangetsu and released that energy at Ulquiorra. The Espada screamed in pain. It felt as if his flesh was being torn from his body. Then he saw his adversary entering through the tornado and making a clean slash towards his head.
Ulquirorra smiled and said,” I was surprised when you killed me. Not because I was defeated. But because you defeated me as a shinigami, not a Hollow. But that wasn't me dimise. Luckly for me, the Hollow King saw use in me and brought me back. So I can have my revenge!” Then Ulquirorra unleashed a gigantic cero from his mouth and aimed it at Ichigo. But the orange-haired shinigami used Bakudo # 39: Enkosen to block the on coming attack. Then Ichigo waited for the attack to disipate as he launched towards the former Espada and unleashed a barrage of slashes. But Ulquirorra parried the attacks with ease and quickly moved behind Ichigo in the speed of light and prepared to slash him. But Ichigo blocked the attack and quickly turned around, punching Ulquirorra in the chest, pushing him back a few feet. Then Ichigo dashed towards Ulquirorra and slashed him in the chest, leaving an enormous gash.
Ulquirorra locked at the gash and said,” I'm surprised you are able to keep up with me. You truly have be come stronger. Even with my Maestro powers, we are on the same ground.”
Ichigo smiled and said,” You're right. That was a great warm up. But I think we should start fighting for real. Bankai!” Then a black aura covered Ichigo as his enourmous cleaver changed into a black bladed katana.
Ulquirorra said,” Fine by me. Bind.” Then Ulquirorra slowly transformed into his first release. Ulquirorra dashed towards Ichigo and began using his energy spear as if it were a sword, slashing with impressive speed and force. But Ichigo parries the attacks with equal speed and is able to disarm the bat-like Hollow and stabs him where his hole should be. Then Ichigo jumps into the air and unleash a Getsuga Tensho at Ulquirorra. But then Ulquirorra fires a Cero Oscuras at the on coming Getsuga, creating a massive explotion. But as soon as the dust clears, Ichigo is gone. Ulquirorra looks around, until he feels the blade of Tensa Zangetsu piercing his spine and coming out of his chest. Ichigo then removes the blade from Ulquirorra's body and wiped the blood off from the blade.
Ichigo looked at his opponnet as said,” I though since you are now a Maestro, you would be, I don't know, stronger than this. And here I actually thought you were going to be a challenge.” Ichigo began to walk away, until a massive amount of Reiatsu exploded from Ulquirorra's body.
The fallen Hollow rose up and said,” We're just getting started. And besides, you need to be out here. I don't want Dante to have you all to himself.”
Ichigo was shocked,” Dante's Here?! How did that happen?”
Ulquirorra smiled and said,” The moment you left the gates, Dante used his ability to manipulate time to enter. Pretty soon, he's going to have lots of fun.” Ichigo turned around to return to Soul Society, but Ulquirorra dashed in front of him, blocking his way,” You're not going anywhere Kurosaki, your fight is with me.” Then the two continued their fight.
Meanwhile in Soul Society, Renji felt a strange presence near the 10th District. He flash stepped to see what was going on. He saw that a man with a red jacket, a large skull-headed broadsword, and a symbol on his palm that looked like a rook chesspiece tattoo, smiling at him.
The man brandished his sword and said,” Excuse me, but I believe that you have my big brother. May I please have him back?”
Renji unsheathed his zanpakuto and said,” You'll have to get past me.”
The man said,” This is going to be fun.” Then he pointed his sword in Renji's direction,” I am Dante Museveni, Rastrillo of Jaque mate Cinco. You have my brothr, prepare to die!”

Chapter 16: Hungry Like the Wolf.
Dante lunged forward at Renji, but Renji flash-stepped to evade the oncoming attack. Then he used Zabimaru's whip-like powers to slash the Maestro from a distance. Dante began to dodge the attack, but one of Zabimaru's pike-like protrusions nicked his cheek.
Dante laughed as he said,” What is your name Shinigami?”
" What?!” said a confused Renji, " Why the hell do you want to know my name?”
" You are the first person to make be bleed in over two thousand years,” said Dante wiping the black blood off of his face,” In all politeness, I would like to have the honor of knowing my victims name before I devour your soul.”
Renji entered an offensive stance and said,” Renji Abarai, Captain of the 3rd division. You happy now?”
Then Dante put his sword over his head and said,” Yes I am.” Then he dashed forward and began rapidly slashing the Shinigami Captain.
Ichigo and Ulquirorra continued their fight, parrying and countering each other's attacks. From afar, it looked like a beautiful dance with two highly skilled preformers. Then they became locked blade to blade.
Ichigo looked at his opponent and said,” It looks like we're evenly matched.”
Ulquirorra smiled and said,” It seems so.” Then the former Espada pushed Ichigo away and said,” But unfortunately for me, I am unable to use my Segunda Etapa.” Then Ulquirorra began to generate javelins out of thin air and began to throw them at Ichigo.
" Why can't you use your second form?” said Ichigo as he was dodging the on coming attacks.
Ulquirorra said,” Because I gave it up, to prove my allegiance to the Hollow King. He gave me new life. And if I prove myself worthy, he will give me power beyond imagination.” Then he fired an enormous cero at the young Vizard and also continued to generate and throw javelins at rapid speed. Laughing as he does it.
Then a wave of reiatsu lunged forward and knocked Ulquirorra off of his feet. Ichigo then dashed forward and began rapidly slashing his adversary. He sliced off his wings, arms, and then cut him at the waist.
Then just as Ichigo was about to finish off Ulquirorra, he fallen Hollow said,” Fool. I have three lives. If you kill me now, the King will only bring me back two more times, each time stronger than the next. The next time, you might not be so lucky.” Then Ulquirorra began to laugh hysterically and maniacally.
Then Ichigo said,” I miss the old you.” Then he beheaded Ulquirorra and said,” You knew when to shut up.” Then overhead, he saw a storm gathering over Soul Society. Ichigo then suddenly remembered that Dante had sneaked into Soul Society. Ichigo then dashed towards the gates, hoping that something bad hadn't happened yet.
Dante jumped into the air and gave Renji a vertical slash that he easily blocked. Then Renji flash-stepped and began rapidly slashing Dante. But Dante easily dodged the oncoming attacks and gave Renji a roundhouse kick that knocked him twenty feet.
Dante shrugged and said,” Enough of this. Time to show you what my real power.” Dante then plunged his sword into the ground. Suddenly enormous chains made of reiyoku shot out of the ground. They connected and formed a giant dome covering Renji and Dante. The area around them changed into a massive desert with blood-red sand. Cacti were covered in clocks and giant hourglasses could be seen everywhere.
Renji looked confused,” What the hell did you just do?” Then Dante dashed in speeds near impossible, even using flash-steps, and punched Renji in the face. Renji crashed into one of the hourglasses. As he tried to get up, Renji realized that his movements were much slower than usual. He tried to use Zabimaru, but for some reason it was heavier than usual, it was like trying to lift a mountain. Then Dante suddenly appeared out of nowhere and grabbed Renji by the throat.
Dante began to laugh and said,” In this world, there is no way for you to defeat me. This is the Bóveda de Tiempo(Time Dome). In here, I can manipulate time and space anyway I want. Even now, I am decelerating every molecule in your body and also your reishi, causing you to possess delayed reflexes and a sudden decrease of strength. While you are in here, I have complete control over you. I could deage you to the point of a embryo, or I could speed up your aging and make you a crippled old man. Now what should I do?” Then before he could think of what he was going to do, he saw a blinding red light creating a border between him and Renji. Then a massive amount of energy pushed him and Renji back. Renji used the Shakkaho Hado to push the Maestro from him.
Renji then got up and said,” It's time to take you out. Bankai.” Then Zabimaru transforms into a massive skeletal snake. Hihio Zabimaru gave Dante a loud roar as he lunged forward to devour him. But Dante jumped out of the way and landed on one of the hourglasses.
Dante smiled as he said,” Since you unleashed your true power, let me release mine.” He then pulled out a azure wolf mask and put it over his face. Suddenly the full moon appeared over Dante as he began to take shape. He doubled in size, covered in blue armor all over his body. The mask completely covered his entire face and grew a foot long horn on top of his forehead. His arms and legs were covered in black chains with spikes coming out of them. The mouth of the mask was beginning to move his Dante's own mouth as he began to howl at the moon.
He looked at Renji and said,” This is my true form. Lobo del demonio(Demon Wolf). Now it's time to show you what it is that your dealing with.” Then Dante dashed towards Renji with lightning speed.
Ichigo flash-stepped as fast as he could to find Dante. He stopped when he saw a giant purple dome where the 3rd division barracks used to be. Then out of nowhere, fifteen Peons appeared shaped like lizard-headed gorillas and two other Maestro with humanoid shape and Rook tattoos on their chests began dashing towards him.
Ichigo brandished Zangetsu and said,” Do thse guys ever quit?” Then dashes towards them.
