(3rd pov)
"You bastard! I’ll teach you how to bow before a God!" Black said creating his ki scythe before trying to hit Ichigo with it.
“Now die mongrel!” He laughs, but the scythe makes a ting sound with Black smirking evilly.
“Is all you know how to do is talk big,” Ichigo says as he looks up at the soul unfazed. Black’s eyes trail over to his scythe to see his weapon had been blocked by the massive sword that had barely been moved up a few feet. “Just to ask you oh so glorious god, but do you know what Shinigami translates to?” He asked as his fist glows red and then lands a fist in Black’s gut, rocketing back and forming a crater in the wall of a nearby gorge.
Black was stung as the blood he was hit with felt like nothing from his old world. It wasn’t a ki blast but he could tell it was still a form of energy attack. Yet it still felt as if he was being hit with a single massive fist.
"How can this *cough* filthy mortal hurt me," black said as he had trouble getting back up before he heard Jackson laugh hysterically.

"Oh, man Black it's funny to see you get your ass kicked there will be more enjoyable if you still had a body it will be 10 times funnier," Jackson said before thinking of something.
"You know when you died you were fused with another person. I think his name was Zamasu but I don't se-" before Jackson could finish he was hit in the back by Ki blast.
“I can see my Bala did a number on that pathetic excuse of a body you have,” Ichigo smirks, “Just so you know, my Balas are made from a natural pressure I expert. It’s as natural as breathing for me, meaning I can control the force of how much I put out without diminishing my power at all. And the word Shinigami,” he thumps away only to thump above Black, “ holding his sword above his head and gathering power into the blade, “Mean God of Death! Getsuga TENSHO!” Ichigo roars as he sends a slash of white relishing straight at Black.
Thinking quickly, Black creates another scythe to block the attack. The slash clouded with the scythe but severely damaged the weapon, much to Black’s surprise.
“Are you even trying?” Ichigo says coldly as thumps behind Black with a small red sphere of reishi concentrated at his fingertip, “Cero…” He says blasting Black at point-blank range with the gathering reishi.
Black was blown back a few more meters from the blast. He got up from the ground with a little bit of trouble, was heavily damaged, and was breathing heavily.
Before he can say anything else Zamasu Landing next to him and it's the same state he turned around to see Jackson dusting off his hands then putting his hands on his hips and giving him a smirk.
"Did you really think Black that Ichigo will be so focused on you that you think that Zamasu will be able to finish the job and you are stupider than you think cuz I'm much stronger than last time?" Jackson said before Landing next to Ichigo it looked at him and said, "You think you can handle both of them or do you need a little help, I'm not saying that you are weak I'm just asking?" Jackson asked.
“Do I have more power than just one sword release?” Ichigo thumps to the ground. Ichigo looks up and smirks as another Ichigo appears behind him and kicks him to the ground, having him land at the first Ichigo’s feet. He just smirks and fades away. “You’re little split bullshit won’t do anything for you asshole. I haven’t even released a fourth of my power,” he stabs his sword into the ground. “I was never one for hand-to-hand combat,” He says reaching down and lifting Zamasu up by the collar, “But that doesn’t mean I have learned a thing or two from my bro!” He says as he delivers a sharp blow to the gut then releases the god before landing a kick to the head, sending Zamasu whirling until he came skipping across the field to a halt.
"Damn Ichigo you know how to throw a punch," Jackson said while wincing after seeing Zamasu get his ass handed to him.
"But if you don't mind I'd like to give some payback the Black," Jackson said before walking up the Goku Black and grabbing him by the collar before kicking him in the stomach making him gasp for air before being punched in the face sending him flying before Jackson appears right behind him and kicking him back down to the ground next to Zamasu.
“I do spar with Asta on a near-daily basis,” Ichigo points out as he cracks his hands walking towards Zamasu, “But the green puke-colored motherfucker is mine,” he says coldly.
"He's all yours as long as you leave this Goku wanna be with me," Jackson said coldly.
Both Jackson and Ichigo walked up to them, while both of them for the first time in their lives… they were afraid of Mortals.
Ichigo takes a whiff of the air and then smirks maniacally as his eyes flash yellow for a moment, “Fear, good,” he throws out his hand and his sword spins into his grip, “You should be very afraid. Bankai, Sternritter…” He says and is covered in blacklight.
The reishi coating starts to flake away to reveal Ichigo in a new white X-themed sleeveless coat instead of the normal black coat. In his right hand instead of a katana was a scythe wrapped in black chains.
“Todessense Zangetsu,” Ichiigo says, twirling his scythe.
"Hey Ichigo, mind if I do something really quick?" Jackson asked while looking over at the new white-clad Shinigami.
“Just be mindful of the city and the surrounding area outside its walls,” Ichigo holds up a hand, “There are a lot of farms out there, and they provide the food for the entire city, not to mention I don’t want the creatures that call this place home to get hurt. They’ve been through enough hardships as is. Asta would kill what’s left of me after Shy is done with beating me to a nothingness. That woman is very scary when she’s thoroughly pissed off.”
"Don't worry. What I'm about to do won't hurt anyone," Jackson said before standing still for a moment.
Ichigo was wondering which Jackson was doing for a red Aura enveloped Jackson a moment later he was in his Super Saiyan God form.
"After Goku and Vegeta visited me last time they helped me obtain Super Saiyan God," Jackson said before pulling out the Dante sword and getting in a fighting stance.
"So, Mr. Ichigo, shall we take out the trash," Jackson said while grinning.
“Heh,” Ichigo chuckles as his scythe’s blade starts to waft with reddish-black reishi.
“More like incinerate the leftover kid,” he says as he quickly takes hold of the scythe with both hands,
“Have a take of what a god of death can do!” Ichigo remarks raising his weapon above his head and slashes, “GETSUGA GO NAMI!” sending five lines of reishi at Zamasu.
The god is sent skyward where he ignites his ki sword, colliding with Ichigo, “I thought you’d put up more of a challenge with all your talk of trash and mongrels!” Ichigo scowls. “You talk about mortals as if they’re beneath you, yet you used the Super Dragonballs to attain immortality and then again but to get the body of a mortal in order to gain more power! You’re such a fucking hypocrite!”
The two exchange blows in a flurry of red, black, and rose sparks as Ichigo continues to push the attack.
While That was happening past Zamasu was about to intervene before he felt a presence that was almost demonic, Woody turn around I saw Jackson his body froze in fear.
If Ichigo was the god of death then Jackson was the demon; because that's what he saw Jackson had a calm neutral face but for his aura, it said you are going to face a real monster.
"You know Zamasu; you and Black we're so smug and cocky I was delighted to be able to win we were just Mortals," Jackson said before appearing right next to him leaning into his ear before whispering, "But now, why do I see nothing but fear and Terror in your eyes? It’s because for the first time in your life you are afraid of a mortal killing you again," he said before bitch-slapping him a few meters before trying to get up.
"I'm going to enjoy using you as a punching bag again," Jackson said before flying at Zamasu at Breakneck speed before sending a punch to his gut making him gasping for air.
Meanwhile above in the skies, Ichigo brings his scythe in range of Zamasu. The evil god manages to ignite his ki sword just in time, quickly through it up with a downward slant next to his face. Ichigo’s scythe makes contact with the sword, sliding down. The two weapons, making an ungodly screech while sending black and rose sparks flying through the air.
As Ichigo slides down Zamasu smirks as he readies to slice off Ichigo’s head. The Shinigami notices the smirks and decides to speed up his action sliding down Zamsu’s sword even faster, through te go off his balance. Ichigo does a completely one-eighty and swings his scythe downward again, but faster. Zamasu thinks faster and blocks again but with the flat of his sword this time, completely stopping Ichigo’s attack.
The two sneered at Ichigo with their weapons locked. Ichigo reels his head back while he pulls his scythe free causing Zamsu to stumble forward. The Shinigami rushes forward and headbutts the god square in the forehead, drawing blood and pain.
Zamsucries out in pain as he grabs his face, ”RAAAAAAAA!” He shakily pulls his hands down, his eyes burning with fury at the snicker God of Death, “You bastard!” He yells with blood dripping from his face.
“This is a fight for our lives, not a karate tournament,” Ichigo retorts as he spins his scythe with one hand, “There is no honor in a real fight like this which means anything goes asswipe!” He hurls his weapon at Zamasu.
“Just what I was waiting for!” Zamasu yells as he ignites his sword and rushes in and does a downward slash across Ichigo’s chest with and an evil smile plastered across his face.”Without that scythe, you’re just another defenseless mortal! RAHAHAAHA!”
Ichigo started to fall while smirking, “You sure about that!” he said with a deafening chill. He quickly pulls his left arm backwards, a black chain in the grip of his hand.
Zamasu’s eyes go wide as he turns only to just barely dodging the whirling black scythe as it spins straight for his neck. He bent back just in the nick of time for the blade of the scythe to shave off a few hair tips from his eyebrow.
Ichigo catches his weapon with his left hand then quickly fires a barrage of Balas at the unsuspecting evil god with his right. Zamasu is unable to dodge this time due to dodging the scythe thus takes the full brunt of Ichigo’s assault.
The smoke starts to clear revealing a huffing and battered Zamasu, “You shouldn’t have been able to deliver that many attacks with the wound I just gave you! You should’ve been cut in two! HOW THE HELL ARE YOU STILL ALIVE YOU STUPID BEAST?!” Zamasu’s eyes widen with horror as he looks at wear he’d “cut’ the Shinigami only to see nothing but the cut cloth of his clothing, not even a nick of the skin was there.
Ichigo lets out a stiff snort, “That would my Hierro. Remember the Bala I hit you with earlier and just now They’re basically my condensed power that naturally leaks off my body. Well, that same power is highly concentrated under and on my skin like a natural armor making an ordinary attack from swords useless,” He points at the god’s hand, “It doesn’t matter how sharp that blade is unless you have the strength to back it up you’ll never break my skin.”
Ichigo points at his forehead, “Like when I headbutted your ass. I was basically wearing a helmet made of spiritual steel!” he smirks and then forms his hand as he is going to pull something off his face, “I don’t even think you worthy of seeing three-fourths of my real power, pathetic disgrace so I’ll just end this with most of it!”
Zamasu just stares in utter horror and shock as he starts to realize this god hasn’t even been taking him seriously from the very start.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield, Jackson was beating the shit out of Black, while black was trying his best to dodge his attacks but was failing badly.
"You know Black, I'm not actually taking this fight seriously, "Jackson said while yawning in boredom., making black yell in Rage before trying to hit Jackson with his ki scythe before it was caught in between Jackson's fingers.
"But you threaten my family and friends," Jackson said before gabbing his hand pulling him closer before saying; "you are going to see my legs form now Black," Jackson said started to power up his ki.
Black stare in fear as Jackson’s power level was rising more than he ever saw before.
An overwhelming pressure suddenly covers the entire field. Black quickly finds that he is suffocating under his own breath, unable to even get on his hands and feet. Jackson himself is bright down to one knee.
He remembers this feeling. He felt it before once in his world with Asta when he flexed his power of the guards and again only about an hour or so to go at Urahara’s shop but in a much more precise and controlled state. This time however the sensation was way more intense and overwhelming not to mention furious.
A visage of Ichigo’s intense melodic rainbow eyes was felt everywhere.
)(Like this)
Suddenly Zamasu comes in skipping across the land like a rock across a lake. He shakily raises his bloody face. Jackson looks over the beaten god and is taken aback by the level of damage that had been done to him. Most importantly the god was utterly terrified.
“Christ!” Jackson said as he then feels the pressure intensify.
He turns his head to see Ichigo slowly approaching but he was wearing a hollow mask. The mask was one Jackson had never seen before. Instead of white, it was black with white lines running over the eyes with the eyes being solid glowing golden.
“What-” Was all he could say as Ichigo burst forward in awe-inspiring speed and took hold of Black and Zamasu’s faces.
The Shinigami tore through the open field. Using the gods’ faces as his personal row plows until he threw them into the air where they collided with one another. On the ground, Ichigo was already spinning his scythe by the chain. He threw the weapon and it passed the gods. Ichigo quickly pulls on the chain causing the scythe to wrap around the gods.
“You call yourself gods yet you destroy indiscriminately all for a few races that choose the wrong path,” Hollow Ichigo roars as he whips the chain about slamming the gods into the ground over and over again. “It was your job to guide them so they wouldn’t choose the wrong path!” he yells as he spins around while he lifts himself into the air until he is high in the clouds and then sends the pair of evil gods rocketing not the ground forming a massive crater.
“And now it is my job as a god of death,” A massive red gate adorned in chains and talismans with twin skeletons on either side of the doors hold it shut appears behind the Shinigami.
“To reap the souls of the once-living and make sure that all souls go where they are meant to go!” He roars as the gates open to reveal a red light as black chains shoot out and sear themselves into the bones, organs, and souls of Black and Zamasu.
“And all those who commit such sins as you two go to hell!”
Zamasu and Black scream in terror as they are pulled into the Gates of Hell. They fight and struggle only to be pulled in. Just as they are about to get some hop of freedom a massive hand comes forth from inside hell and slowly pulls the evil gods in. The gates shot behind Ichigo and then vanishes into thin air. Ichigo reverts to his base form and thumps back to Jackso who just stares.
“Well, I’m spent.” Ichigo smiles with a bit of a labored breath as he plops his butt on the ground laughing a bit.
"Yea, me too," Jackson said as he fell to the ground exhausted that's when he noticed the were people headed this way.
"Hey did you call in any reinforcements, because I sense a few people headed this way," Jackson said just as he's about to stand up but is immediately smacked back down to the ground by his herd mates.
“They were very insistent about checking on you,” comes Twilight’s voice.
Jackson looked done for his Twilight to shake her head, “It wasn’t me but her,” she points up as Asta’s Twilight flies down on her wings.
The first thing he noticed other than the wings was that she was much more well endowed than his own Twilight. He then took note of her power, it was well beyond tha of her counterpart from his world. She also had a six-leaf clover grimoire floating next to her in a lavender aura.
“I was able to come back early and what do I come in on,” Asta’s Twilight snaps, and a dark portal opened up. Out of it comes another Ichigo to flop on the ground, “Is an outpouring of power, mainly yours,” she eyes Ichigo who sticks out his tongue a bit at her, “Feyor was in the palace with Fluttershy and another me, Pinkie, and Maud. Thanks to his explanation I know what’s going on,” she crossed her arms under her chest and looks to Jackson. She sighs, “I’m guessing you already know who I am but let me tell you formally. I am Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Magic of Equestria, Goddess of Balance, and Third Queen of the Black Clover Kingdom.”
Several Shinigami in the opposite color schemed robes of Ichigo’s suddenly thump in with Kiskue in front of them. Jackson notes that all of them have the Black Bulls symbol somewhere on the clothing meaning they were all Asta’s people. Another thumping caught his attention as more shinigami start to appear but wearing the regular shinigami robes.
“Ichigo Kurosaki, what is going on?!” the shortest of the shinigami ordered.
“Nothing that concerns any of you Toshiro,” Ichigo sighs as he stands up. Walking over to the other, he places a hand on its head and in a flash disappears. “That’s better,” he says, popping his neck. “Being out of a gigai is good and all but having a corporeal body is still the best.”
“Kurosaki I asked you a question and I expect answers,” Toshiro demands.
Ichigo thumps away and is immediately in front of Toshiro, leering over the shinigami, “And I told you it was none of your beeswax half-pint! I don’t answer to you, Kid. I answer-”
“You answer to the Seireitei!” Toshiro glares.
“Wrong short stack!” He holds up his hand and shows off the Black Bulls ring. “I answer to myself first and foremost. I serve as a liaison for Asta to the Shinigami that the old man sees fit to station here. He knows my loyalties are to my brother and not your Squads! I’ll admit that I like the Seireitei but that means jack! I’ll always be here for my friends but if it means choosing the Seireitei of the Black King then I’ll choose the latter every time!” He huffs, “Now as I said before, this is none of your business.”
Toshiro grits his teeth as Kisuke steps in, “Let it go kid. This really is something outside our realm of expertise, even for me. Let sleeping dogs lie. I’ll inform you of what I can later.”
“Thank you Urahara,” Toshio says before giving Ichigo the stink eye and leaving with the others.
“That was…” Shinji says, “The usual… Let’s go to,” he motions, and everyone else leaves leaving the Displaced, the mares, and the Goddess.
"Well… that happened," Jackson said while looking confused before looking back at Asta Twilight and said, "so you are this world Twilight huh, I well nice to meet you," Jackson said holding out his hand for a handshake.
"I have to say you look beautiful," Jackson said smirking while his Twilight started to glare at him.
Jackson notices it, walking over and he hugged her from behind and whispered something into her ear, which made her blush like crazy before kissing him on the cheek and said, "you are forgiven this time" she said as they returned to the rest of the group.
“You’re both adorable,” Asta’s Twilight smiles at them. “Now, if you’ll follow me. I’d rather not be out here for too much longer. The Howlers will be waking up soon and seeing as how they have probably had a rude awakening from a certain someone being thrown into the canyon wall where the nest, they will be very grouchy.”
Jackson’s entire group tilts their heads in confusion, “Howlers?” They all ask in confusion.
Suddenly a large black owl with a red belly and red-face lands on Asta’s Twilight’s shoulder.
Reaching up she scratches under the bird’s chin, “This is Nero. She is Asta’s oldest friend in this world outside Ichigo. She’s what called a Howling Owl, or Howler for short,” She looks to the group as Nero flies over and lands in front of Ichigo, glaring at the Shinigami.
“They are highly intelligent and-”
The owl takes in a deep breath, offing its chest up nearly twice the size it was before. Twilight quickly covers her ears with everyone else flowing suit.
*HHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*
Nero unleashed a sonic hoot on Ichigo, forcing the Shinigami to roll back.
“That’s why they’re called Howlers,” Twilight motions as the flaps its wings, taking to the sky.
“They burrow into the walls of canyons to nest. Nero is the defacto-Alpha here,” She says as the bird lands on Ichigo’s head only to start vigorously pecking it.
“OWOWOWOWOWOWWOWOWOWOW!” Ichigo cries out in pain. “I’M SORRY I THREW A GUY INTO THE WALL! OWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!”
“Hehe, should we hehe… do something? Hehe…” Jackson asks trying to stifle his laughter.
“That’s enough Nero,” Twilight waves a hand causing the bird to fly off Ichigo. “Go home and keep the others from causing too much trouble tonight.
*Hooo...* the bird hoots with a head nod before flying back into the canyon.
“Let’s get you three into the palace,” Twilight says as she waves a hand, opening a black and blue swirling portal. “Ichigo there is also someone waiting for you to when we get there.”
“Great,” Ichigo grunts as he rubs his sore head. “This can’t be good…”
“I wouldn’t say that,” Twilight smiles as she motions to hte portal, “Shall we?”
"Yea let's," Jackson said before adding, "Also you maybe want to tell the maids to help me clean the bedsheets in the morning because there's going to be a lot of bedtime sparring if you catch my drift," Jackson said while smirking at Twilight; who give him an evil glare.
“I get what you mean but any messes you four make you clean yourselves,” Twilight said abruptly. “We have maids to help maintain the castle but even then it’s only a handle full of staff that does it because they want to. It’s not their duty to clean up after you. These are the rules of our kingdom. Don’t like it then don’t do the deed. Catch what I’m pitching?”
“Might want to reconsider any messes you guys were gonna make,” Ichigo whispers. “These girls are bad about stuff. They made this rule when the goddess that gave Twilight her powers was here with her herd. Apparently, it was very bad.”
"What I mean is can they show me where to clean the bedsheets not to have them do it?" Jackson said before adding.
"My mom told me you messed up your clean up and my sister learned that the hard way so, but that being said sorry Twilight but you won't be getting double team by me and my Shadow clones," Jackson said shrugging his shoulders in defeat.
Twilight and every woman besides Asta Twilight blush like crazy while Ichigo was trying not to bust a gut laugh his ass off.
“Let’s go before the Howlers are out here,” Ichigo says as he rushes to the portal, “I’d rather not get blasted again,” he says before jumping in.
“After you,” Twilight motions.
Jackson and his herd mates walk into the portal and were back at Asta castle where everyone else was waiting.
"So… what happens now"Jackson said; "because I have a feeling something weird is going to happen," he said before seeing Ichigo get yelled at by someone.
“Hey calm down Ku,” Ichigo says as he dodges as a statue.
“Four months Ichi!” Ku yells as she lifts the statue over her head. “You didn’t call me in four dame months!”
“Oh crap,” Ichigo says as he is buried under the statue.
“Everyone,” Twilight says as she comes through the portal, “Meet Ichigo’s Girlfriend. Kukkaku Shiba. The greatest Fireworks maker in all the Seireitei. The man on the far wall is her younger brother Ganju.”
“Sup,” the tall well-built guy waves. “Sorry to barge in like this Big Sis Twi but big sister Ku was fed up with not hearing from him.”
“It’s fine Ganju, just make sure you don’t tear up anything important Kukkaku,” Twilight warns with a chill that everyone felt.
“Asta’s girls are scary,” Jackson’s Twilight says as she cowered behind him.
“You’re coming with me tonight,” Kukkaku says as she digs a dazed Ichigo out of the rubble.
“Oh look at the birdies…” Ichigo says as he is carried away over the woman’s shoulder.
“This is going to be a very noisy night,” Twilight pulls her hand down her face. “Shall I show you four to the bedroom ya’ll be sharing? I don’t think Ichigo will be seen until breakfast.”
Jackson just blinks a few times before clapping his hands before saying a prayer for Ichigo for safety and well-being.
"Well I think all of us could use some sleep also here," Jackson said before handing everyone earplugs that he got from his Pinkie.
"You may need this if anyone of you is going to get some sleep tonight," Jackson said while walking with Asta Twilight to his and his herd mates room for the night.
“I was referring to the noise that will be heard from the halls,” Twilight holds up a hand. “Those two are rather… Obscure from what Asta’s told me. They express how they feel openly which I’m fine with but…” A loud crash and Ichigo’s scream of terror carried through the halls. “When they’re pissed things get violent. She won’t hurt him too much…” another scream split the halls,
“But she is still very rough. When it comes to it. She does love him in all his stupidity though. Am I right girls?” She looks over her shoulder at the other as they come to a big red door “This will be your rom for tonight. Have fun, clean linens are in the closets. The indoor open-air bathing area is that way,” she points down the hall. “Be warned though, we allow mixed bathing. So don’t be surprised if anyone comes in on you here. Have a good night,” she waves as the group is left with faces as red as tomatoes.
