I woke up feeling tired because my girlfriends won't let me sleep "until I couldn't walk for a week" is what Twilight said so I just layed in bed while my herd mares were still sleeping.

‘One of these days I'm going to say no but until then might as well do what they say,’ I thought as I heard a knock at the door.

“This is Lavender Sage of the Black Bulls Shinigami Mr. Jackson,” a female voice called out. “We were asked by ladies Twilight and Fluttershy to inform you that breakfast shall be served in an hour. Until then they asked that you and your herdmates head for the baths after you change your sheets. Captain Ichigo and Lady Kukaku are already there. It would be best if you're all hurried if you could, breakfast is first come first served around here. I’ll be waiting to escort your party as soon as you’re ready to go.”

"Okay give me a second," Jackson said before shaking his herd mates awake before they clean up their mess from last night and then heading to the baths with Lavender leading the way.

"I still don't feel very comfortable bathing with other ponies, especially a mixed bath," Twilight said while Pinkie and Maud agreed before Jackson said.

"Well it's either that or smell like sweat and sex all day," Jackson said as the clones were cleaning the bedsheets.

Twilight blush before puffing out her cheeks and looking away.

"Come on Twilight! it won't be that bad" Jackson said, placing a hand on her shoulder.

“Don’t feel shy Ms. Sparkle,” Lavender buts in. “You can always wrap a towel around yourself. That’s what many of the women do in town at the bath houses we used until we were able to personal homes with a bathroom in them. A lot of our people in the Shinigami bath together though. No men and women are aloud to bathe each other though. There is a pool for both sexes though. Here we are,” she says as they come upon a black oak door. “I’ll leave you with The Captain and his marefriend. There are many baths in here from a sauna to an all-around jet shower. The main bath is an open area similar to the size of a small pool and is heated. Have a good day,” she nods and leaves.

"See Twilight isn't as bad as you thought, but you can still cover up your private parts if you want," Jackson said while taking off his clothes and throwing his towel over his shoulder, and walked in.

Twilight, Pinkie, and Maud both looked at each other before taking their clothes too and wrapping a towel around their bodies.

Jackson walked in to see Ichigo along with his girlfriend sitting in the bath relaxing.

“Yo,” Ichigo waves from the bath area.

‘That Shinigami chick wasn’t kidding. This place is huge, even for a palace bath,’ Jackson thought as he looks around. His eyes came to rest on Ichigo’s marefriend in a red two-piece as she was drying her hair. She was well endowed but nowhere as close as well endowed as Asta’s Twilight.

“My eyes are in my head jackass,” Kukkaku remarks with an annoyed glare. “I’m surprised you three didn’t get bathing suits from the room,” she tilts her head.

The sound of Lightning striking behind Jackson and his group goes off. The girls then hurry back to the changing room and then rush off to they room with Twilight leading the way.

“You four didn’t even bother looking in the dresser drawers did you?” Ichigo sighs, holding his head.

Jackson just shrugged before saying, "Honestly, I didn't know but it really doesn't bother me all that much," Jackson said while started to scrub himself before adding,

"Ain't nobody going to purposely look at your goods unless they’re just flat-out perverts. Besides, I think my herd mates are happier about it than me because I don't mind one bit," Jackson said before dumping a bucket of water on him, rinsing himself off.

Just then his girls returned bathing suits on and Twilight shoved swim trunks into his face and had a look that said, "Put them on or else!” Jackson just sighed before putting on the green bathing trunks before submerging himself into the water.

"Sweet fucking Jesus that's good," Jackson said as he was relaxing his girls with also washing off. "So Ichigo, what's on today's agenda?" Jackson asks while enjoying his relaxing soak.

“Not much,” Ichigo says as he gets out of the main swimming area to reveal bright yellow Pikachu-themed trunks. “I’ve got to spend time with Ku for one thing. Need to make up for getting with her then going dark for nearly half a year.”

“Damn right you do!” Kukkaku remarks throwing a sponge at Ichigo's head for it to slowly flop down his back. “You better take me to see Isshin and the rest of the family! I want to see this city too!”

“I figure you four could join us,” Ichigo notes. “See the city and work our way out from the palace, stop by to see the family in the process then we move out to see the shinigami for you to get some help in learning you sword's name and powers. After that we can hit up the festivities with Asta hopefully being back by then. We’ll get started after breakfast.”

"Sounds like a plan" Jackson said before getting out himself before walking over to dry off.

"But before that give me change into something more breathable" Jackson said before pointing a finger at himself and saying.

"CLOTHES BEAM" Jackson said before being enveloped in a bright light what the light disobey he was wearing Akimoto that was similar to Zoro.

"This will do very well" Jackson said before making some for Twilight, Pinkie and Maud to wear.

“How about we get you three some traditional clothes from Waillen,” Kukkaku says , drying her head. “They’re made by that dress maker you all seem to know.”

“Rarity?” Twilight and pinkie say in unison.

“Yea her,” Kukaku points out.

“They’re just kimonos but they’re very comfy,” Ichigo adds. “We can stop by her room on the way to the dining hall.”

Jackson just Shrugged his shoulders for they left for the dining room, "you know what's weird?" Jackson says to get Ichigo's attention.

"It feels like I'm forgetting something that is important I just can't remember what" Jackson said while scratching his head in confusion; back in Jackson Equestria spike was trying to stop the reporters and fangirls from busting down the door to the mansion of the Hokage.

"PLEASE EVERYPONY CLAM DOWN JACKSON WILL NOT BE HERE FOR A WHILE" fight yelled at them paparazzi can only conquer more uproar as Spike Jiraiya and Kakashi try their best not to be trampled over.

" I'm sure it's nothing" Jackson said off-hand while they were making their way to Rarity to make Jackson's mare friends clothes.

“I have a few pre-made ones already dear,” Rarity says as everyone enters her room.

“As soon as Twilight informed me of your stay I went to work early this morning to come up with a few different kimonos for each of you,” she looks over to Jackson’s herd.

“Whatever you’re forgetting I’m sure it’ll come back to bite you in the ass as soon as you get home,” Kukaku belts out.

“Really dear, must you be so crude?” Rarity scolds. “I thought you were a noble mare?”

“Former noble curlicue,” Kukaku smirks.

Rarity sighs, “Yes well, the kimonos are there,” she points across the room, “And the changing room is next to them. I have duties that I must tend to now though. Have a good day and good luck with Pinkie,” she says waving out.

"She doesn't know that I'm dating my version of Pinkie" Jackson said with a small smile on his face before looking towards his herd mates and said.

"You guys go on ahead and change me and Ichigo and Kukaku will wait out here" Jackson said as they did so.

Just then Jackson senses a familiar ki but at the same time different want to turn around song This World Pinkie Pie Standing There with a huge smile on her face.

“HELLOBROTHERINLAWFROMANOTHERWORLD!” She yells as she rushes in and wraps Jackson in a crushing hug. The sound of splintering bone was heard. “I’MSOEXCITEDIFINALLYGETTOMEETANOTHERVERSIONOFMYSELFAND
MAUD! AYUMICAMEANDMADETWILIGTH A GODDESS ANDTHEYBECAME SISTERs AND I THOUGHT I COULD DO THE SAME IF I EVER MET ANOTHER VERSION OF MYSELF AND HERE YOU ARE DATING HER!”

“Pinkness,” Kukaku says as she sticks her head out from behind the curtain.

“Yes Kukaku-sama?” Pinkie turns her head 180 degrees as she continues to hold Jackson.

“Let him breathe,” she says flatly as she pulls her head back in.

“Oppsies,” Pinkie giggles as she drops Jackson on his ass while the Saiyan gaps for air.

Ichigo kneels down and pats him on the back lightly, “It doesn’t matter if you’re dating your version of Pinkie. Pinkie is Pinkie and they’re one of the very few inconsistencies in the Omniverse. I was summoned by a Pinkie that was a displaced from a Silent Hill version of Equestria.”

After Jackson was able to breathe if you start laughing confusing everyone in the room before saying, "yup you are definitely Pinkie," Jackson said with a huge smile.

"Though you may want to ease up on the bear hugs. You nearly snapped my spine in half," Jackson said while getting off the ground cracking his back.

Just then Twilight, Pinkie, and Maud came out of the changing room and when Jackson saw them he blush so hard steam coming out of his ears.

“OH MY GOSH YOU’RE ALL SO PRETTY!” Pinkie gushes. “And what’s wrong with my hugs?” Her eyes narrow on Jackson, “Everypony loves my hugs!”

“Not everypony in this room was trained by a tank Pinkness,” Kukaku adds as she steps out in a bright red kimono.

“You look hot Ku!” Ichigo gives a thumbs up with flushed cheeks.

“I’m still pissed with you,” Kukaku glares with a bright red face, “But thanks, idiot…”

"I see it seems like we both have beautiful but yet scary girlfriends," Jackson said while looking at the girls before turning to Ichigo. "Lead the way Ichigo. Also, when will I meet Rainbow Dash and Gilda because I already met half of the main six," Jackson asked as they were making their way to the dining hall.

“That would be a no-go,” Ichigo says as he walks out of the room with Kukaku next to him. “Gilda is imprisoned under charges of being a spy and seduction. Rainbow is away in Cloudale on a Spike is in Ponyville for downtime as per orders by Asta.”

“Rainbow has been grumpy pants lately,” Pinkie added with a bit of a deflated hair due. “But I can’t blame her.”

“Enough Pinkness,” Kukkaku looks over her shoulder as she speaks in a soft tone. “I understand her pain. Perhaps when she comes back I can have her speak with someone who’s been through something similar.”

"Well that's okay with me because I nearly killed my Gilda after she broke Pinkie muzzle and Rainbow's right-wing," Jackson said with a little bit of anger in his voice.

"So Kukkaku, how long have you known Ichigo?" Twilight asked as we continue to walk down the halls.

“I guess it would be about a little under a year at this point,” Kukkaku held her chin, “That’s counting this last five months he didn’t try and reach out to me to though,” She stares daggers at her boyfriend.

“Hey, our group was thrown four months into the future when we exited the Dangai,” Ichigo retaliates, “Not to mention Asta being flung a hundred and twenty-five years into the past while we also came into a massive army approaching the city with a demon backing them!”

“And the last month?” She snorts.

“Uh…” Ichigo quickly looks away. “Busy with stuff…”

“That’s what I thought,” Kukaku shakes her head. “We’ve just got to together and then you disappear and reappear only to ignore me and then you can’t even come up with a good excuse. I’m starting to think it was just a mistake.”

“Kukkaku, look at me,” Ichigo stops and pulls her to look at him in the eyes. “It was not a mistake for us to get together. I really do want this to work. Me not talking to you was a bone-headed move and I’m sorry. I was busy setting things up over here with working with Kisuke and Asta for the upcoming battles. The last month has been busy for me but I also could’ve, no should’ve called you,” he sighs. “If I had time to spend sword-fighting with Asta over a damn sandwich then I also had more than enough time to call you. Forcing you to come here and beat the crap of me should never... it never should’ve come down to that and I’m sorry. You can be mad at me still but I’m not going to lose you over one damn thing!”

Kukkaku just looks at him before she starts laughing and then wraps her arm around him, “I’m glad I did come, and I’m glad I’m with you. You’re a bonehead that’s a fact,” she then kisses him, “But you're my bonehead and I’m still mad at you too..”

“Awww…” the girls gush then glare at a certain Saiyan who was in the corner looking over some of the architecture of the palace.

"Don't think those glares are going to do anything," Jackson said still looking at the architecture before turning around to them before giving them a big huge smile.

"But there is something I can give you three something that I was planning on giving you girls," Jackson said before doing a couple of hand signs in a puff of smoke later he was holding three boxes.

"Happy 5-month anniversary girls," Jackson said before Twilight, Pinkie, and Maud opened the boxes before Gasping in shock at What they saw.

Sitting in the boxes were four necklaces specifically made from the cutie marks for something engraved in the back of it saying.

"You will always have my heart and soul," the girls were crying tears of joy before tackling Jackson down to the ground and started kissing him all over his face.

"I thought you guys might like them," Jackson said while hugging them tight and crying tears of joy.

“You sure took your time getting here,” comes Twilights voice as he comes in from across the hall, “Reminds me of when Asta proposed, though it was a bit more subtle. Again we were still half asleep too,” she smiles while holding up her ring, “Made it himself. Who wants pancakes?”

“Made them myself!” Asta Pinkie lumps up. “Wish I could stay and help but I have trainee duty today!” he cackle evilly as lightning goes off in the background, “Let’s see what survivor we get today!” she sings songs as she pronks off.

“You still think she is like me?” Pinkie looks at Jackson more than a bit scared.

“That’s just how she is now,” Twilight waves it off. “You’d change to after what we’ve been through to get the city where it is. She’s also been overseeing some of the outer territories, but everyone still loves her even though she can be a bit rougher than most when it comes to the recruits. Breakfast time,” she claps as she enters the dining hall, Fluttershy already there with Aurora. The baby making a mess of herself, again.

“Come on guys! These pancakes are going to eat themselves,” Ichigo comes in a sit Kukakku down then himself.

The group thoroughly enjoy a quiet breakfast. At least until Jackso asked to hold Aurora. The baby found it amusing to play with his spiky hair by bopping it down with her spoon having it spring back up. With her being Asta’s daughter, she was stronger than a normal toddler. Jackson left the palace with serval lumps while holding an icepack.

“Can’t say I didn’t warn you that it was a bad idea dude,” Ichigo calls out as they walk through the street.

Jackson and his herd’s attention is drawn to a group of citizens city around a communal firepit as they start to sing. They made various sounds and noises with their mouths to imitate the sound of nature as well as instruments.

“It’s a song about the night Asta stormed the old city then burned it down to the ground,” Ichigo comes over. “Hard to believe just over a year ago a good many of these people we slaves. Most of the women and girls we treat even less than that.”

“Tell me Jackson,” He looks over, “You still wanna deck Asta after hearing that?”

Once looked over to Jackson to see him just stood there His eyes were covered by a shadow before saying In a cold tone.

"How long had they been in slavers for?" Jackson said making his herd mates back away from fear.

“I couldn’t tell you,” Ichigo shrugs.

“The original country was built on its slave trade. Many of the Waillen's citizens were born as slaves. Mixed blood of Caribou and pony.” Asta’s Twilight says from under her disguise. “The women were sex objects used for pleasure and so were the girls once they reached a certain age. The males were used for labor mostly unless they were owned by a female noble. Fluttershy’s mother escaped this place with help from her lover and his father. Asta named the city after Flutterhsy’s father in honor of his sacrifice. He and his father were some of the very few among the Caribou that felt the way their society levied was wrong and they died to save what they cared for most.”

Just as the music stopped everyone turns to see Jackson; the ground under him was littered with cracks from the pressure of his power. They all start to back away in fear as the group that was with him was getting ready to subdue him if need be. Once his eyes were shown to Twilight and Pinkie Pie's horror his eyes were blood red and he had an angry look on his face.

Kukkaku placed a hand on his shoulder, “Calm down or I’ll make you calm down,” she threatens, tightening her grip. “You’re scaring the people here. It’s all in the past now. Look at how happy they are living under Asta as their king and not the fuckers that made them slaves,” She motions to the civilians.

Jackson heard Kukaku’s words but he was having a hard time getting his anger under control until Twilight placed a hand on his other shoulder making him start to calm down before looking around at the terrified facings of the citizen he looked down in shame before saying the quiet tone.

"I'm sorry," Jackson said looking down ashamed.

“You have nothing to be sorry for,” Ichigo pats him on the back. “I was angry too when I heard but at the same time I can’t just come in here and stop it not without causing more hurt than necessary.”

“We’re lucky Asta didn’t go berserk at the time,” Asta's Twilight speaks up again. “A group of hunters took me, Aj, and Shy. The broker sold Shy to the prince of the previous capital. She was nearly raped. Asta… tore the city apart with help from Luna’s Shadowbolts. What I saw in my husband’s eyes that night… I … never want to see it again,” She hides her eyes under her bangs.

Jackson just stood there while thinking about what Ichigo and Asta Twilight said, "Why… Why does this happen to people who have nothing but live their lives?" Jackson asks as tears were running down his cheeks.

Twilight, Pinkie, and Maud huge him trying to cheer him up they were sad as well.

“Think of the good that came from this,” Twilight adds, “It’s the only thing that kept Shy together after that night. These people are happy and living in a thriving city instead of the squaller that was simply their existence. That song reminds them of their past and how they overcame it and how many more still do.” She smiles, “Why do you think Asta accepted the role as king here?”

"Well, I’m glad that they're happy," Jackson said before looking back at the citizens for stepping forward and bowing to them.

"I'm deeply sorry for interrupting your Festival please accept my humblest apology," Jackson said still bowing.

“This is just a common get-together young man,” one of the women speaks, “But thank you for the apology nonetheless,” she bows with her little boy waving to the group before trailing off after his mother.

The citizens just smile while some say that it was understandable did I went back to singing and dancing.

"Can we hurry to the Soul Society please?" Jackson said turning to Ichigo.

“We’re not going to the Seireitei,” Ichigo says. “My family lives here in Waillen and the Shinigami we’re going to see are stationed outside the city. They’re helping the citizens that live out there with the fields and stuff.”

“Speaking of Shinigami, I have to meet with the Black Bull' Shinigami captains,” Twilight says pulling out her grimoire, “I’m sorry for the incident Jackson and girls. I hope you can still enjoy what Waillen has to offer. If I see you later we’ll have to talk some more by for know,” she waves as a portal opens behind her and she walks in.

“Let’s get to the clinic,” Ichigo motions as he leads the way.

The group soon finds themselves on a rather long walk as Ichigo takes them to the city's outer ring. They soon come to a building with red bold lettering that spelled out Kurosaki Clinic over the door.

Ichigo knocks then walks in, “I’m ba-” was all he could get out as two young girls tackle him ot the ground.

“Ichigo where were you?!” the brown-haired girl cries.

“You said you’d be back by yesterday night or early morning!” the black-haired one scowls.

“Sorry girls,” Ichigo rubs their heads. “Ran into some… complication,” he motions to the group, “I have a few people I want you to meet. Yuzu, Karin. This is Kukaku, my girlfriend and this is Jackson. He’s uh… distant relation. Kind of like an older cousin to you two. The three ladies behind him are his fiancees.”

The girls blink and look at Jackson.

“Why’s his hair all spiky?” The brown-haired one now dubbed Yuzu asked.

“You must spend a fortune on hair gel for formal stuff dude,” Karin, the black-haired one adds.

Everyone started to laugh and giggle at Karin's remark while Jackson's eyebrow twist in annoyance before saying.

"Actually I had normal hair before I was displaced but now that I'm a Saiyan warrior now. Their hair is naturally spiky" Jackson said before laughing. "Be kind of funny that all the Saiyans use hair gel to keep their hair spiky," he remarks while still laughing.

“I knew it naturally like that,“ Karin interjects. “Have you seen my older brother,” she rubs Ichigo’s head. “I meant you spend a lot when you have to slick it down.”

Jackson wanted to say something but got nothing, she wasn’t wrong after all. “Ya got me there kid,” Jackson shrugs it off.

“I think I’ll stay here and spend some time with Isshin and Misaki,” Kukaku says. “And to get to know you two,” She says easily lifting the girls with her arm. “I’ll see you later Ichi. Tell Ganju where I am if you see him.”

“Will do,” Ichigo says dusting off his pants after getting to his feet. “I recommend you three stay here too,” he points to Twilight, Maud, and Pinkie. “We’re gonna be kind of busy with his training and I’m sorry but we really don’t need the distraction. No offense. Are you three cool with that?”

"Yea but you owe us, mister," Pinkie said pointing that last statement at Jackson who just had sweat drop down his face.

I did a whole Exchange Jackson turned to Ichigo and then said, "so I'm ready as I'll ever be" Jackson said as they started to walk.

“First things first,” Ichigo says as he pulls a battle pass, aka Sunstutue Shinigami badge from his pocket and then throws it at Jackson’s face. There was a sudden smack and Jackson was holding his face hissing in pain.

“What the he-” was all he could say as he looked to see his body on the ground. His whole outfit had changed as well. He was now wearing a Shinigami’s black Shihaksho with a Black Bulls symbol on the back and on his right upper chest.

Ichigo walks over and places the battle pass in Jackson’s Body’s pocket. “You girls take care of his body. Don’t fret he’s not dead his soul has just been separated from it. He’ll be back in it by later.”

The girls hesitantly nod.

“Just stick him in my room for now,” Ichigo shrugs then looks at Jackson. “First lesson, reishi footing control. As a shinigami, you don’t have to fly. More like you can’t right now. Practice that later. You also shouldn’t try using chakra,” He says as he pops his red pill and separates from his gigai. “Use the reishi in the air to get a footing. Just imagine you’re stepping on something solid,” He explains simply as he thumps to be in the air just above Jackson. “We’ll take it slow for now. Flash Step is still out of your reach and don’t draw your sword,” he points.

Jackson looked down at his sword it looked just like any other sword except the blade was a silver-edge while the handle wrap what's black and red Five Star Dragon Ball keychain hanging off of it, but what was strange was there a kanji symbol for ice on one side and the kanji symbol for rain on the other.

"Okay, I'll try," Jackson said as he did as Ichigo said to do, after a few tries he was able to get up to Ichigo’s height.

“It's like anything you practice,” Ichigo shrugs. “You have to walk before you can run, so that’s exactly what we’re gonna do. At least until we reach the wall, then we’re gonna run.”

Jackson looked at the wall and then gulps.

“Let’s go,” Ichigo says as he turns and simply walks.

After about an hour Jackso was confident enough to actually walk normally through the air, at least until they reached the wall. It took another hour for him to get the hang of jumping from nonexistent ledge to nonexistent ledge. Eventually, they made it to the top, Jackson sweating and breathing heavily.

“You didn’t realize how much you relied on your other powers did you?” Ichigo smirks as he tosses over a towel and water bottle.

While drinking a bottle of water Jackson just gave Ichigo the middle finger before saying.

"Go eat a bag of dicks you jackass!" Jackson said while sitting on the ground trying to catch his breath.

“You do realize Asta can materialize his swords while in his body right,” Ichigo smirks, “I can too but it’s still really fucking hard, and yet he does like that,” he snaps. “Asta is more like you though. He’s a living soul with Shinigami powers. I’m just a soul so on this side. I actually have a harder time doing this than in the Seireitei. You should have the edge as you’re used to not having access to reishi. Practice makes perfect,” He cracks his neck and walks over to the far side to point out in the distance. “Over their that red brick house is where we’re headed. Also running.”

“How the hell am I supposed to run in this state?!” Jackson complains.

Ichigo smirks evilly as he puls the zanpakuto from his back, “Try not to get cut!”

“AAAAAAA! YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!” Jackson cries as Ichigo gave chase through the skies swinging his sword wildly at Jackson’s feet.

“HAHA! DANCE BOY DANCE!” Ichigo laughs as he wildly swings his sword at Jackosn's feet.

The duo soon arrived at the house in just under ten minutes;

“That was fun,” Ichigo laughs as he sheaths his sword.

Meanwhile, Jackson laid down sprawled out on the ground shaking vigorously.

"I'm going *huff* to beat *huff* the ever-living shit out of you *huff* once I get feeling in my legs again," Jackson said while Breathing heavily.

“Did you even think to consider you just ran the whole way here through air,” Ichigo says as he walks over to the door and knocks. “And I recommend you get over you fatigue fast cause we have some real battle nuts here.”

“Who the hell is it?!” came a rough but confident-filled voice.

“It’s me Ikakku,” Ichigo yells. “I’m here with my friend and he needs training in the art of fighting with his zanpakuto!”

“Oooo… Fresh meat!” Ikakku laughs as he opens the door to reveal his bald glory. “First dibs!”

Jackson took one and one word was repeating through his mind 'fuck'.

That's all Jackson I had time to think before his training started.

“Ikakku must you make such unbeautiful noises,” asks a man with feathers on his right eye.

“Check it out Yumichika,” Ikakku points at Jackson, “Ichigo brought us a new toy who needs to be whipped into shape!”

“Must you two be so loud,” comes the voice of the boy from yesterday,” Now whats-” he stops as he sees Ichigo with Jackson, “Why are you tow here and why is he in a Shinigami Uniform?”

“Take it Toshiro,” Ichigo holds up a hand. “He was part of an experiment with Kisuke,” He explains. “We were able to successfully give him Shinigami powers with one of the swords we’ve been forging and using on the Black Bulls Shinigami/ He now has feel for reichi-”

“And you wanted us to train him,” Comes a rough voice as a red-pineapple steps out of the house.

“We’re not your personnel training force Ichigo,” scold a petite black-haired shinigami woman.

“Relax Renji,” Ichigo holds up a hand. “I fully intend to pay for your time with info on what happened yesterday. While you guys are training my buddy I will give you the report. How’s that sound Rukia, Toshiro?”

“That would be most helpful,” Toshiro glares. “Though, I think you already have the ones to train him in front of us.”

“Trial by fire,” Ichigo shrugs.

“What?” Jackson looks around,

“Basically you fight Ikakku and Yumichika until you ave a breakthrough with your zanpakuto,” Toshiro explains.

“You can be really mean sometimes Ichigo,” Comes an orange-haired woman with a very open-chested shihaksho. “Hey there,” she winks, “Want to have some fun with me instead?”

Jackson turns beat red.

“Don’t tase him too much he already has three girls that hound him for fun times,” Ichigo rolls his eyes.

“You really are no fun Ichigo,” She mock pouts.

“Yes well, your the acting second in command as your captain is the first so you’d be joining us for debriefing anyways, Rangiku,” Ichigo smirks.

“Captian!” Rangikue cries.

Toshiro just glares, “No, he’s right and if Ichigo is following the rules then that means this is important. I’ll also want another Luetient with as well…” he looks between Rukia and Renji. “You decide who it’ll be amongst you.”

“I’ll save you both some trouble,” Ichigo interjects as he walks past and grabs hold of the top of Rukia’s head. She just links widely a few times, “The smart one is coming with us.”

“Yea go-” Renji starts to say as everyone goes into the house, “HEY YOU BASTARD I’M-”

*SLAM!”

The door instantly shut in Renji’s face. Ikakku lands flat on his butt laugh his ass off. Yunichika just shakes his head not agreeing with the uncouth tactics, Jackso is just staring while trying to think of an escape route. Renji just falls over backwards with a bloody red mark on his forehead and a bite mark on his tongue.

“HAHAHAHAHA!” Ikakku laughs, “Woooh, needed that,” he sighs then looks at Jackson, “On your feet newbie,” he smiles wide evilly as he holds up his sword, “Draw your sword…” he says drawing his weapon and taking a stance still holding his sheath.

“Let me explain how things are going to work new kid,” Yumichika speaks up while looking in Jackson’s general direction, “You’re going to fight us until you enter your inner world, aka the part of your soul where your zanpakuto spirit resides. Once you do that you must learn its name, by whatever means it chooses. Once you do you wake up still in the middle of the fight. Once you say the name and awaken the sword then we’re done with the easy part. Okay?”

Jackson unsheathe his sword while taking a standard Swords stance before saying, "You’re going to beat the ever-loving shit out of me aren't you?" Jackson said while looking at Ikakku. "Well is there any Master Piccolo trai-" Jackson didn't get to finish before dodging sword blade aimed at his side.

"WHAT THE HELL MAN" Jackson yelled while continuing to dodge Ikakku attacks.

“ENOUGH TALK! NOW EITHER DODGE MY STIKES OR DIE!” Ikakku laughs maniacally as he slashed and uses his sheath to block Jackson’s strike then slashes upwards at him. “Man your just a pussy! Where’s your drive? Where’s your fighting spirit?”

“Your rather bad,” Yumichika remarks as he watches with his head props his head against his hand, “How do you except to awaken a sword if you not even trying?”

The more and more Yumichika and Ikakku criticize his fighting the more and more he got angry and it got to a point where he cried out enraged.

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHH" Jackson cried out in anger before everything went white.

Jackson was standing in a barren field with snow, above him their storm clouds going around him.

"Where the hell am I?" Jackson said while looking confused.

“In a tempest of sorrow and anger of your own creation!” calls a harshly booming voice.

Jackson jumped in surprise before turning around to see a man wearing Japanese Komodo with white hair and blue eyes and crystalline blue horn reaching backward coming from the top of his forehead just at the hairline. In his grasp was a grand naginata adorned with a western-style drake as the guard of the blade. The blade of the weapon itself glistened like glass. The air around the man whirled and howled with a chilling cold the reach into your bones

“Why do you hesitate?” He points the weapon at Jackson.

"I'm afraid," Jackson said while looking down in shame.

“Afraid of what?” The man demands.

"I'M AFRAID THAT I'M NOT STRONG ENOUGH" Jackson yelled in Rage while falling to his knees.

"I don't like feeling weak but I do," Jackson said while tears start to fall down his face.

“That is not the truth!” he roars as lightning flashes as it grows colder, “It is natural for everyone to feel weak and afraid that they are not strong enough,” the snow starts to whirl about. “What makes you so sad and angry that your own soul is not at peace?!”

"Not at peace?" Jackson asked while getting off the ground.

“You are saddened by something,” The man glares, “And you are tortured by its outcome. So much to the point, you are scared of your own power!”

Just then an image appear next to them showing what the man was saying.

It shows Jackson in his legendary form destroying everything in his path killing everyone then it switches to him standing in front of Twilight, Pinkie, and Maud who were huddling together in fear of him.

"STAY AWAY YOU MONSTER!" Pinkie said while crying.

"WHY DID I THINK I EVER LOVE YOU!" Maud said in a cold and scared tone.

"WHY CAN'T YOU JUST LIVE US ALONE!" Twilight said while having a magic shield between him and his herd mates.

“You are scared your power will cause you to lose what you love most,” he says reading to strike, “You are a fool so allow me to end this cycle of sorrow and pain for you!” He roars as he stabs Jackson in the chest with his naginata.

Jackson starts to fall to the snow-covered ground. Blood pouring from his wound.

“Will you lie there and keep deluding yourself or will you see the truth of what your power has done and keeps doing?” The man says in a more serene tone.

Images start to flash through Jackson’s mind.

Images of him training spike, playing with his kids, having fun with Jiraiya and Kakashi.

But the last one was what made him start to get up; he was with his herd mates sitting under a tree before Jackson said.

"Hey girls why do you still forgive me after all the stuff I did in my legendary form?" Jackson said while looking at them.

"Because," Twilight said before Pinkie finishes, "No matter what, we will still love you," she said as Twilight and Maud nodded in agreement.

What's Jackson was fully standing up. He looked at the man in front of him before pulling the spear out of his chest, before yelling out.

"I WON’T MY POWERS CONTROL ME ANYMORE!!!!!!" Jackson cried out.

“Then use it to fight back,” the man says with a stern glare, “What is my name?”

Back in the real world, Ikakku was about to hit Jackson, before his eyes glowing with icy blue before he yelled.

"OKAMI-NO-KAMI OF SNOW AND RAIN GIVE ME YOUR POWER TO FROZE MY ENEMIES" Jackson yelled out as he was covered in bright light.

Ichigo looks out from the window with a smirk, “Hehe… Good on ya,” he looks over to Toshiro. “As I said, what happened yesterday had nothing to do with Aizen and his forces. The soul I fought was actually after Jackson and his group but as the resident displaced and summoner it fell to me to fight it.”

“Very well then,” Toshiro says. “It would seem the man outside is an ice and wind type user. I will be the one to face him and train him to utilize those skills.”

“Fine with me,” Ichigo nods. “He just got the power so he can’t use Bankai yet but he’s fairly up there in terms of power, though in his current state…”

“I think I would be a better match for him if he can’t use Bankai and is still fresh with his spirit form,” Rukia interjects.

“Mmm…” Toshiro thinks, “You’d be right Rukia. I hadn’t thought of that. You are powerful but you’ve yet to achieve Bankia as well. Your ice-type may be better suited if his power utilizes wind.”

“We’ll let Jackson decide after Orihime treats him,” Ichigo cuts in. “He’s very tired from not only achieving his Shikai but from his first time in spirit form too, not to mention the workout Ikakku put him through.”

“I agree with you here Ichigo,” Toshiro nods. “Besides, I must inform the head-captain of the past day’s events.”

“Alright then,” Ichigo nods and walks out of the house. “That was one hell of a performance,” Ichigo says as he comes out clapping. “How does it feel to know more about yourself Jackson?”

"Good…really good," Jackson said while smirking.

"I was so afraid of what I might become that I didn't realize that I was holding myself back by that thought," Jackson said before bowing to Ikakku and Yumichika and said.

"Thank you. Both of you for helping me realize how stupid I was thinking about my power is it part of me just like breathing and walking," Jackson said as he was still bowing to them.

“Nice spear ya have there,” Ikakku smiles.

“I most say the design is most elegant,” Yumichika flicks his hair.

“I call dibs on spear training!” Ikakku continues to smile.

“Not before he rests and we get a feel for his power,” Rukia says coming out next to Ichigo, “No buts,” she glares as Ikakku was about to speak. “He barely has any reishi left! And has anyone seen Renji?”

“You’re standing on him,” everyone says in unison.

She looks down in horror at the still passed-out pineapple head, “RENJI HANG IN THEIR ORIHIME WILL BE HERE SOON!”

“That’s my que,” Kisuke says as he thumps in with Inoue in tow. “Ms, if you please. Heal our pineapple first then our guest.”

“Right,” she nods and rushes over to Rengi and activates her berets.

“Tired?” Ichigo smirks at Jackson.

"Yea very tired," Jackson said while sitting on the ground exhausted.

"But at the same time happy as hell," Jackson said while smirking at Ichigo. "It did help with something else too," Jackson said while getting off the ground and cracking his back.

“You fill out the uniform rather nicely,” Kisuke said as he comes up. “It’s good to see the sword even works on displaced.”

Jackson raised an eyebrow.

“You’re the first displaced we used the reishi sword on,” Ichigo says. “We’ve used it on the Shinigami in the city with great success. We weren't certain it would work on a displaced. The worst things that could’ve happened to you are stomach cramps for a day.”

“Hold still please,” Inoue says as she bends down and activates her power. “So what else did this help with?” She smiles as she heals Jackson.

"That It doesn’t matter what happens to me, that's my herd mates and family will always be by my side," Jackson said while smiling like an idiot.

“Wow,” Ichigo says with a raised eyebrow, “You’re an idiot…”

“Says the guy who didn’t contact his girlfriend after being rocketed into the future by four months and then forgot to call her for another month,” Kisuke pursues his two cents.

“SHUT UP KSUKE NO ONE ASKED YOU!” Ichigo glares.

“Anyways,” Kisuke looks over at Jackson, “Are you up for round two?”

"Hell yea," Jackson said while getting off the ground.

“Then get off your ass!” Rukia scowls at Jackson, “Follow me around back.” she motions as she leads him to a target range, “First we’re going to see exactly what power you Shikai has so don’t focus on hitting a target as much as just releasing power. It’s easy for you if you can associate it with a verbal command,” Rukia explains as she draws her sword. “Similar to when you first release your sword but shorter. Dance, Sode no Shirayuki,” She motions the swod in a circle and it transforms into a weapon of pure white with a long flowing ribbon.

“Watch,” She ordered, “Tsugi no mai, Hakuren,” she says as she punctures the ground with her sword causing snow to flow upwards where she then thrust the sword through the snow and blasts it forward where it solidifies into a horizontal ice pillar. “Now its your turn.” she turns to Jackson, “Remember release not control. Once you have a feel for the power and what it can do then you can name it.”

"Okay," Jackson said before sheathing his sword but not letting go of the hilt.

"Okay release not control," Jackson thought before snapping his eyes open in a quick motion, pulling out his sword, and setting a diagonal slash to the Target, freezing it in place.

"Like that Ms.Rukia," Jackson said while standing up and turning towards her Direction. Unm

“Hey not bad. Seems like your blade has a similar skill to mine,” She nods as she walks over to a target and simply touches it with the tip of her weapon causing ice to form around the area. “Tell me, what is your release command. It may help uncover more of the spear’s powers.”

"Well I was thinking along the lines of Dragon of rain and snow, Okami-no-kami; or something like that" Jackson said while rubbing the back of his head nervously.

“If you can’t speak you release command from the heart you may as well say I’m dead instead,” Rukia scolds pointed her sword at his nose. She sighs and drops her weapon, “But from th sound of it your powers deal more in storms than ice and snow. Cpt. Toshiro has an ice-dragon spirit-based Zanpakuto so he may be a better fit as a teacher. “I deal in more long-range attack than up close. You may be a bit confused with all the teaching.”

“Three teachers can do that,” Ichigo nods. “Say we let you keep it up for a while hen let Ikakku come in for spear training.”

“It’s your call Ichigo,” Rukia looks over.

“Keep drilling him on the basic Reiatsu releases and a few spells,” Ichigo advises, “ Sorry Jackso but I have to speak with the old man and Kisuke now. She may talk harshly but Rukia is a lot softer than Ikkaku in terms of training. If you get hurt, go see Inoue,” he waves walking off

“Shall we,” Rukia motions to the yard.

"Hey it Beats train with Captain baldy over there," Jackson said point at Ikakku who gave him a glare.

Jackson and Rukia walked to where they will be practicing.

“Make all the smart-ass comments ya want kid,” Ikakku smiles evilly, “I’m still your spear training teacher!”

"Yeah, yeah, whatever you say captain Baldy just know when I get done with my training I surpassed you don't get all whiny," Jackson said while giving him the middle finger.

“Oh a big shot are ya,” Ikakku’s grin widens as he slams the hilt of his sword into its sheath, “Grow Hōzukimaru,” the weapon glows and then turns into a spear with red Reisatsu wafting from his body.

“Now how about we get started!” Ikkaku yells as he jumps down from on top of the house and Jackson jumps back as the spearhead digs into the ground forming a small crater.

"Fine then," Jackson said while having an evil smile himself as he held his sword in both of his hands and said.

"Roar Dragon of rain and snow, Okami-no-kami" Jackson yelled as a blue and white light covered his body before dying down to show his spear.

"Let's have a real fight, Ikkaku," Jackson said, getting into a fighting stance.

Ikkaku effortlessly twirls his spear with his right, “You’re wide open!” He laughs as he lets loose a barrage of thrusts. Jackson does his best to dodge the blows but finds it hard. “Quit running away! Be a man and fight!” Jackson grits his teeth and then uses his own spear to start to deflect the blows instead of merely dodging.

“That’s better,” Ikkaku keeps smiling.

"YOU THINK THIS IS FUCKING FUNNY!" Jackson yelled as the ground around him start to froze.

Then Jackson shoved the spear into the ground before yelling now.

"LET'S SEE YOU SMILING AFTER THIS! ABSOLUTE ZERO!!!!!!" Jackson yelled as a wave of ice and snow was heading towards Ikkaku.

“Really?” Ikkaku raised an eyebrow and he thumped away startling Jackson. He then recalls Ichigo doing the same thing on several occasions now. He quickly whirls around having the shaft of his meet Ikkaku’s. “Nice,” he smiles, “Time to take it up a notch then!”

Suddenly Ikkaku’s spear blade comes down. Jackson jumps back narrowly dodging but is still cut just above his eyebrow. He looks over holding his face, trying to wipe the blood from his sight. He then sees Ikkaku whirling his spear about but he also hears a chain. Jackson’s eyes widen as he sees Ikkau’s weapon had segmented into three sections.

Jackson tries his best to dodge while thinking of a plan.

That's when it hit him, he used his spirit energy to jump high into the air where clouds started to gather.

'Let's see how he likes this!' Jackson thought as he started to spin his spear and a rapid pace while at the same time Thunder started to erupt from the clouds.

“Weather control,” Ikkaku smirks, “Big flaw in it and you though,” He smirked as he thumps away and then in front of Jackson unleashes a barrage of jabbing attacks with both ends of the spear. Jackson notes these attacks are completely random with no pattern at all.

“I. Can’t. Concentrate.” He says as he avoids being hit.

“Exactly!” Ikkaku laughs as his weapon retracted and he jabbed the butt of the spear into Jackson’s gut sending him down to the ground. “And you’re done.” Ikkaku says at the edge of the small crater, “And don’t give me you can go on cause ya can’t,” he points at Jackson. “You all out of reishi. A big move like that takes time to build up power, something you didn’t have and something you’re still too inexperienced in as a newbie.”

He was right. Jackson was breathing heavily and he felt exhausted all he could do was sit up before saying.

"Yea, yea, I get it," Jackson said in an annoyed tone before taking a breath and saying, "I know when I'm beat! You win, happy now captain Baldy," Jackson said angered that he didn't even land a single shot on Ikkaku.

“It’s not that you don’t have skills kid,” Ikkaku waves his hand in front of his face.

“It’s that you’re still fresh,” Yumichika adds. “You just got your powers yesterday and today is literally the first time you’re using them. Did you even consider what Ichigo did to get you here was for a reason,” He adds.

“He was trying to teach you control,” Toshiro says walking out of the house. “I am one that barely has control over my reishi and even I can tell you’re a natural at the control when the situation presents itself. Think about,” he points. “It took you a while to get into the air yes,” Jackson weakly nods, “But to get here you barely used any reishi at all. Sure you were physically exhausted but that’s due to you not being used to using a spirit form. You just learned your sword name and then learned how to very crudely and very basically control its powers. It is still not all of what it can do either. Unfortunately, we are trying to cram years of training into only a day.”

Jackson thought until a ding went off with Pinkie holding a lightbulb over his head, “Thanks for the light test!” she giggles then bounces off.

He then went to speak, “Let me stop you right there,” Ichigo pokes him on the nose, “No we don’t have a time chamber. The only thing we have that’s even close to that is the Dangai and I’m not going in there cause that means risking activating the cleaners and then we can be flung either into the distant future or the distant past.”

"Damnit then how I'm going get years' worth of training done in one day," Jackson said while sitting on the ground cross-legged.

“The only way to do that is by using a place where time is in flux,” Kisuke says, “Again, the Dangai is the only place in this world like that but is for too dangerous. You could also literally go to hell. The only benefit to that is the harsher environment though.”

“That’s out of hte question,” Toshiro cuts in. “We need every available Shingami here encase of an act by Aizen’s forces.”

“And with Asta gone, our is cut by quite a bit,” Rukia adds. “With him not even in top condition due to him healing Ymir dealing his power was already down meaning one of our top fighters isn’t in top form.”

“Making Ichigo our most powerful weapon against Aizen’s forces should they appear,” Toshiro nods.

“Even with his magic near-zero, Asta is still more than strong enough to go to toe to toe with me on many different levels,” Ichigo cuts in. “Physically he is way stronger than me and even with his power cut, which by the way he rarely ever used his magic, he’s still more than a match for me. If he used all his current power he’d still beat me in a one-on-one fight. He has way more experience than me in the combat department.”

Suddenly Ichigo’s Dad and mom, Isshin and Misaki Kurosaki appear in front of everyone. Misaki was in her blue and white Qunicy uniform and Ishhin was in his Shinigami attire.

“Kisuke, we have a problem,” Isshin says abruptly.

“Inoue, heal Jackson as best you can when we get to Kisuke Shop,” Ichigo says as he walks over to Jackson and throws the Shinigami Saiyan over his shoulder. “Grab on,” he says and the girl moves in close to him.

Ichigo wraps a free arm around her waist and then thumps away immediately appearing in front of Kisuke’s shop. He walks in accompanied by Isshin, Kisuke, Masaki, Rukia, and Renji. Ichigo dropped Jackson in the waiting area.

“Stay,” he order and follows the others to the lower part of the store.

“Let me get you patched up,” Inoue says as she quickly moves over and activates her powers.

"What's happening?" Jackson said while letting Inoue heal him. "Also thank you ms. Inoue" Jackson said while smiling.

“I have no idea,” Inoue says with worry. “I don’t get a lot of this stuff but if Ichigo does stuff like this right away something big must be happening. Ichigo told me about what’s happening and what might happen in the near future. Asta was insistent on my staying somewhere close by so I moved here to Waillen.” She smiles, “I don’t have any family but my friends and the people that live here have been so accepting that they’ve become like my family. Ichigo’s mother checks on me a lot.”

Jackson gritted his teeth out of frustration before saying; "Damn it! If I wasn't so tired I'll be able to help him somehow," he said as he saw Twilight, Pinkie, and Maud bursting into the shop looking worried.

"WHERE’S JACKSON ICHIGO?!" Pinkie yelled out in worrying fury about Jackson's well-being.

Inoue blinks a few times, “Ah… Hello, My name's Inoue. Ichigo is busy with Mr. Kisuke and his parents right now. As for Jackson, he’s right here,” she motions to Jackson who was encased in her healing barrier and waves, “He’s exhausted but other than that he’s okay.”

"Hey girls I'm okay, just tired," Jackson said while smiling at them.

"That's what you said last time when you fought Cooler and you were bedridden for weeks!" Twilight said while on the verge of tears.

“He really is just tired,” Inoue smiles and looks at Jackson, “The only injury he got was a small cut above his eyebrow but I healed that a while ago,” she then turns to the girls. “You didn’t happen to bring his body with you, did you? It would really help him recover his reishi faster if I healed him while his soul was in it.”

They moved the sign showing his body sitting in a wheelchair. Inoue helps Jackson up so he can get to his body.

After he got back into his body he started groaning in pain before sayin, "it was a good thing I made this," Jackson said lifting up his sleeve up to show a mark of a dragon on his shoulder.

After doing a few hand signs and releasing a storage chakra and ki helping him heal faster.

"That's so much better," Jackson said getting off the wheelchair and stretching.

“Your soul is what’s tired and that won; have any effect on your reishi,” Inoue explains as she moves her barrier over him again, “It's spiritual exhaustion. In other words, it’s your spiritual body that’s tired, not your physical one, but the fatigue would transfer overtaking some of the strain off your soul. You’ll feel a lot better after I’m done, maybe enough to fight some but don’t push it. If things are bad stay inside the walls.”

Suddenly and alarms start to go off all over the city. Everyone outside stood around and waited as an image of Twilight popped over via transmission magic.

“All citizens are to cease all current activities and get to your homes immediately. All shinigami report to your assigned stations and stay until ordered otherwise. This is not a drill, please for your own safety stay inside the walls of hte city at all times. Thank You,” the feed cuts off and a gate appears in the shop with Twilight Coming through with Fluttershy, both of them in sets of black armor.

“Where”s Ichigo and Kisuke?” Twilight ordered.

“Downstairs with Masaki, Isshin, Renji, and Rukia,” Inoue points with a resolve no one would’ve excepted from her. “Fluttershy, since your here I could use your help with him,” she motions to Jacskon who is still confused as to what the hell is going on.

“Don’t move,” Fluttershy orders as he grimoire floats next to her in a green and yellow aura, “Gaia Magic, Mother Cradle,” She says, and a glow plant cradle sprouts from hte floor embracing Jackson. “I’m sorry for the rudeness of this but it seems we have hollows inbound. We may need your help if any get past the Reishi Barrier and into the City. Is that alright?”

"Hey Asta help me with my world, so only polite to help my brother," Jackson said while cracking his knuckles.

"Besides with Ichigo and the other captains here as well as you two I think we have everything under control," Jackson said while looking at his girls.

“That’s not the case,” Isshin says as he comes up with the others. “We do have hollows coming in Your highness but we have others to…”

“Arrancars,” Ichigo adds. “I don’t want any low-level fighters out there. Only the Seireitei Shinigagmi and those of us here can withstand their powers. I’m not going to lose any one of the people here. I’d never be able to look at Asta straight in the face again.”

"Then what are we going to do," Jackson said while looking outside. "Because the only thing I can think of is that you and others fight the Arrancars while some of the second strongest Shinigagmi fight the hollows," Jackson said while turning to the others in the room.

“You are to stick to normal hollows you hear,” Rukia glares at Jackson. “You’ve only just learned your sword’s name and don’t have the power to drive off even a gillian class."

“Unfortunately she’s right,” Kisuke agree.

“I’d hate benching you like that Jackson but if you see one that towers over others in what looks like a black cloak, you run,” Ichigo says sternly and coldly. “That's way above your current level to fight off. Normally I wouldn’t even want you out there with more than three or four but we don’t have time,” he looks to Jackson's girls. “You are all to remain here, no buts. Understood!”

“I’ll make sure they stay put Ichi,” Kukkaku says from the hallway.

“Thanks Ku,” Ichigo nods and then pulls out a Sub-Shingami badge and holds it in front of Jackson, “This is yours. It’ll separate your soul and body whenever you activate it. Just hold it to your chest and squeeze,” he puts it in Jackson’s hand.

“Let’s go,” he says to the others who all nod then thump away Leaving Jacskon with his girls, the queens, and Ichigo’s girlfriend.

“You’ll be healed after a few more minutes Jackson,” Fluttershy says to him, “Just be patient please.”

"Thanks again Fluttershy," Jackson said while looking at the Sub-Shingami badge in his hand.

"But the sooner I get healed as sooner I get healed the sooner I can go out there and help," Jackson said while gripping the badge tight.

After Fluttershy healed Jackson he used to Sub-Shingami badge to separate his soul from his body. Taking a deep breath he concentrates and jumps into the air and then as he starts to fall he puts his foot out and then hops up again. He found it was much easier to get into the air and umps from place to place without using so much reishi. He also found it much easier to control his output using only a fraction of what he had before, noting that Ichigo was right about his learning ability.

He catches a whiff of Ichigo’s groups’ reishi. He follows it unitl he found them all gather at the outermost wall of the city. He walks over and looks out with them.

“Just in time to see the Arracanars and the barrier for the city activates,” Kisuke remarks with both hands on his cane, his es hidden under his hate, as the crystal wall glows.

A rush of power then comes from the walls to form a domed barrier over the city. Jackson could tell that not even Black or Zamasuwould’ve had enough just even when they were alive to even dent this thing.

“ Looks like they’re here,” Ichigo scowls a the horizon as a line forms.

The line then resembles a mouth and opens to reveal two men in white clothing wearing partial boney masks.

"Yea …. I can see why this is a problem" Jackson said with a little hint of fear.

"There Spiritual pressure is immense it's almost as suffocating as Asta’s," Jackson said while looking at the others, "So what's our next move Ichigo," Jackson said as Arracanars were getting closer.

“Our next move is to fight,” Ichigo says. “The arrancars split their forces up and have separate groups on the other sides of the city. They’re coming at us from all sides, trying to break apart our forces which we have to do. Both shinigami forces will be engaging together. The living corps is powering the barrier so the Arrancars don’t get in. Asta’s captains will be backing up hte Gotei squads. You however are to stay in the city’s walls,” Ichigo pokes Jackson in the chest.

"Yea I know that, " Jackson said while looking annoyed at Ichigo. "You don't have to tell me I know where my skill level is at and it isn't at Arracanar’s level yet," Jackson said as he jumps back down to the ground.

“You’re with us,” He heard. Looking over he sees Renji and Rukia, “You might not have access to Bankai but that doesn’t mean you can’t put up a decent fight.” Rukia smirks. “We’re heading to the west gate Let’s go,” she says point before they all jump through the air.

"Alright let's get started," Jackson said while following them.

“We’re only engaging if we have to,” Rukia says as they meet with Kensei Muguruma and Mashiro Kuna.

“Don’t stare,” Renji warns as Jackson notices Mashiro wearing orange gloves and boots with a white form-fitting bodysuit with match color highlights to her boots and gloves instead of a shihakusho.

“Captian reporting for duty,” Renji and Rukia say in unison while doing the clover solute.

Jackson fumbles but quickly follows.

Mashiro laughs.

"Uuuhhh Jackson Williams newly form Shinigami reporting for duty," Jackson said while trying his best to keep his eyes above the neckline.

“What are you distracted by?” Mashiro slyly eyes Jackson.

“Don’t bother kid,” Kenei remarks as he knocks Mashiro over the head. “Now is not the time for that airhead!”

“I was just teasing him a bit,” Mashiro pouts as she draws circles in the ground. “You’re no fun Kensei.”

“And you’re the only one outside Ichigo that can remain hollowfied for longer than three minutes!” Kensei growls. “I don’t need a distraction like you teasing the new guy right now! Especially when the enemy is right in front of us!” He points on the horizon.

Jackson immediately caught that Kensei didn’t even stumble when he said Ichigo and Mashiro while leaving out Asta.

"So how are we going to do this" Jackson said while getting ready, "because I'm a newbie to this kind of thing," he said while the enemy was getting closer.

“We’ve been fighting hollows for a while but Arancars are… A new experience even for us,” Kensei sighs. “Normally Arancars stay in Hueco Mundo. Even Gillians stay there but these aren’t normal; Arancars either. Some were vasto lords yes but have been enhanced to their current states. As you are now kid,” he sighs as he looks off to the side while rubbing the back of his head. “You’d be dead in less than two seconds if they see you as little more than a joke.”

“You and I are the reserves,” Rukia cuts in. “As it stands I can take on gillians and adjuchas with some difficulty. You can’t even stand against a lone Gillian without some help possibly. You have power that’s for sure but lacks the skill to wield it.”

“Kensei and me are going for the big baddies,” Mashiro points to the sky.

“I’ll be support to them seeing as I can use Bankai,” Renji adds. “We clear?”

"So pretty much I'm like the Yamcha of the group got power but can't do nothing," Jackson thought before looking back at them.

"Well, I was trying to say what do I do to specifically," Jackson said while standing with a look that said why the hell am I even here for.

Meanwhile in Los Noches in Hueco Mundo

Sosuke Aizen looks into the Living World via his artificial Hollows eye. His attention was on Jackson the whole time. He smirks and then uses his right-hand typing on his armrest. A screen pops off to the side.

“Szayelaporro,” Aizen says. “I’ve found an interesting test subject for us. He is similar to the King and Ichigo Kurosaki making him the perfect test subject for or discussion. Send out our little pet.” He smiles.

“With pleasure lord Aizen,” Szayelaporrosmriks with a bow before closing out the screen.

“Let’s see how you handle our little gift, Shinigami from another world,” Aizen chuckles.

Back outside Waillen]

The fighting had already begun as massive explosions of red, white, and yellow were plastered across the skies. Jackso was still on the wall next to Rukia with his fist clenched tightly as he watched in shock and awe of the fight. Shock due to the power level of being used/ Awe due to wanting to be a part of the battles due to his Saiyan nature and annoyed because he couldn’t.

“You going to be alright?” Rukia says not even looking away from the battlefield.

"Yea it's just that my Saiyan instincts are practically yelling at me to go into that fight I know I'll get myself killed by trying to," Jackson said still not looking away from the awesome fight I was going on in front of him.

"Man I want to join in soooooo bad right now!" Jackson said while whining like a little kid.

“Trust me when I say we’d only be in the way right now,” Rukia looks down slightly.

A sudden rush of Spiritual pressure catches their attention in the area that Ichigo was in.

“He’s not playing around,” Rukia said with a twinge of fear.

"Are you fucking kidding me! It almost looks like he's trying to destroy half of the damn place!" Jackson yells at Rukia in fear as well.

“If he uses that power the Shinigami inside the city will start to collapse due to the strain of his reishi,” Rukia says draw her zanpakuto and driving it into the crystal wall. She immediately starts to pour her own power into the wall strengthening the barrier. “It’s...like trying to swim… through tar..” She winces from the strain. “I knew his black mask was strong but thst is another level of power…”

“Well, we did decide to concentrate most of our forces where the most powerful of our foes are,” Says a man. The duo turn to see a pink-haired man in white glasses standing in the air in from of them, “Knock, knock,” he says while tapping on the barrier. “Hmm… I wasn’t expecting this barrier to be so strong. Even Espada can’t enter it. Hmmm… What to do? I know,” he bows, “My name is Szayelaporro Granz and I am here on behalf of Lord Aizen.”

Jackson raises an eyebrow and Rukia’s eyes widened with shock.

“He wanted me to invite you to join us, Shinigami from another world,” Szayelaporro smirks as he looks up slightly at Jackson.

"Yea….. you can go get fucked in the ass by a hollow you pinky hair fuck!" Jackson said while giving him a glare.

"If you think that I will betray Ichigo and Asta, my two displaced brothers then you are dead wrong!" Jackson said while greeting his teeth in anger.

“You have a very foul mouth,” Szayelaporro sneers. “Here I am offering you to be on the winning side and you not only spit on it but you befoul my Lord’s name with such barbarisms.” He sighs, “Oh well,” he smiles as he points a finer and starts gathering energy. Jackson recognized the technique as the same one Ichigo used the day before. “This barrier is a marvel but I’m guessing it’s still experimental. So there is only so much it can take. Pulls it looks look your little pets are powering it. She’s had a hard enough time just reinforcing it. If I concentrate my power all in one at a fixed point I will be able to penetrate it if only for a second, but who knows what repercussion that’ll have for the power sources,” He smiles wickedly, “That’s an experiment I would love to see through!”

He readies to fire his cero.

“Do something now!” Rukia yells to the frozen Jackson

Snapping out of his stupor Jackson leaps through the barrier and uses his zanpakuto to knock Szayelaporro’s wrist up firing off the cero into the sky.

“Hmm, fooled ya!” Szayelaporro continued to smile as he pulls his free hand from behind his back.. “Here’s your gift from Lord Aizen Shinigami boy!” he laughs throw what looks t be a white snake at Jackson. “Let’s if we can create a more naturally occurring hollowfication!” His grin widens.

Jackson tries to cut the hollow snake into but the evil thin easily avoids it before quickly wrapping itself around the young Shinigami’s arm. The proceeds to bite into Jackson’s flesh causing to cry out in pain. The hollow’s tail becomes a red blade and digs into Jackson’s hand. Jackson ripped off his sleeve and tried to pull the snake off only to find it had already merged with his flesh leaving behind a white scar around his forearm.

Suddenly Ichigo comes in and sends a cero at Szayelaporro, “I was wondering why all of the smaller hollows were gathering in one spot instead of trying to get into the city. It was a distraction.”

“Yes and one that worked like a charm,” Szayelaporro smiles as Garganta opened behind him. “I look forward to seeing the outcome…” he says as the gate closes.

“Piece of crap!” Ichigo yells enraged as he slashes a wet noise was heard. He looks to see blood on hte end of his sword. “At least I stabbed the bastard.” He turns back to see Jackson, “What happened?”

"The bastard tricked us into believing he was going to destroy the barrier," Jackson said before falling to the ground while gripping his head in pain.

Ichigo and Rukia went to Jackson who was yelling out in pain before he said, "what's *grunt* happening *yell* to me!" He said as green and black reishi started radiating off of him making Rukia gasp in shock.

“Let me see you’re arm,” Ichigo demands as he kneels down and looks at the new white skin noticing the eye, nose, and teeth patterns as well as the red tail, “You’re starting to hollowfy. There is a way to save you from being possessed right now but you’re not gonna like it. I have to kill you,” He said grimly.

"What the fuck do you mean by killing me," Jackson said before grunting in more pain, it was getting worse by the second.

Suddenly there was a string of several flaming explosions from the direction Ichigo came from. All of the hollows had started to turn tail and ran as an immense spiritual pressure fell over the field. Both Rukia and Ichigo knew all too well that Asta was back and he was thoroughly pissed.

Ichigo smirked, “you don’t have to die, die just die in a sense,” He responds as he lifts Jackson on his back. “I’ve gotta get you to Kisuke right now.” He thumps away and starts to thump through the city until he reaches the candy shop. “Tessai, we’ve got an emergency here!” He calls out as he gets through the front door and into the back room.

Ururu quickly comes to Ichigo’s aid and helps him set Jackson on the floor. The ground shook, rattling the whole city.

“He's really pissed,” Ichigo remarks as he tears open Jackson shihakusho to see the white hollow mark spreading having reached his shoulder. “Fuck! Tessai!”

“I am here,” came the tall man's voice. He freezes and his eyes widen under his glasses, “Quickly. Go get Kisuke! I’ll do what I can for him,” he says as he performs several sealing kido on the hollow mark to buy as much time as he can.

Jinta looks on before running off to fetch Kisuke’s instruments.

“Hang in there buddy,” Ichigo stands up, “You still have to sock Asta in the face remember,” he remarks before thumping off.

On the Battlefield…

A lone figure in white and red wolf-themed armor rides atop a mechanical thestral. He had a one-handed-longsword in one hand and a shield with a crystal blue eye embedded in it in the other hand. The mechanical beast rears up and lets out a horrifying rev of a beastly engine.

“You bastards think you can take my city!” The knight bellows in outrage. “I’ll turn you to ash!” He says with a swing of his sword sending out white-hot flames.

Not far away is a pair of Arrancars watching the slaughter.

“I wanna fight him,” the big one chuckles. “I bet his blood is sweet…”

“Don’t Yammy,” the smaller of the two orders. “He is easily destroying adhujas with a swing of the sword. He has immense spiritual power so let us wear him down with the fodder first.”

“Tch, alright but only because you said so Ulquiorra,” Yammy complains annoyed.

Suddenly the knight jumps off his thestral and sheds his armor to reveal the Black King. This action thoroughly unnerved the Arrancar known as Ulquiorra.

“You bastards think you can attack my city and not suffer,” Asta glares as a white katana and a black Kataan materialize in either of his hands. “Bandai,” Asta power floods the entire plain as he reveals his demonic/angelic Bankai. “Ichigo was the least of your worries..” he says as he charges forward.

Back At the Shop…

“Yea this is bad,” Kisuke says as he looks over Jackson’s hollow mark. “We’re going to need to infuse him with a lot of reiatsu. He’ll decimate our sword stock.”

“Can we use mine?” Ichigo asks.

“We can but that would mean transferring a good portion of your power to him,” Kisuke says standing up. “It could take you some time to recover.”

“How long?”

“About two weeks,” Kisuke says, “Maybe longer…”

“But I’d still get them back right?”

“Yes,” Kisuke nods. He then turns to Jinta, “Bring up three of the most powerful reishi sword we have.”

“Right,” the red-headed boy nods and runs off quickly returning with their brightly glowing white katanas. “Here ya go boss.”

“Thank you,” Kisuke says, taking the swords before turning back to Ichigo. “These are for you after you perform the procedure. You do know what to do, right?” He says, revealing one eye.

“Yeah,” Ichigo nos before walking over to loom over Jackson. He holds his white Zangetsu with its tip down pointed straight at Jackson’s heart. “Sorry buddy but this is really gonna hurt like hell,” he warns as he activates his black hollow mask. “Are you ready?”

Jackson grunted in pain before nodding, "as ready as I'll ever be" he said before yelling in pain again.

“LET’S DO THIS THEN!” Ichigo yells as his reiatsu flares ending waves of black and red reishi through the room as he raises his sword the drives straight down into Jackson’s chest through the breastplate straight into the Saiyan’s heart and through into the floor even cutting into Jackson’s spinal cord.

Jackson feels the world grow cold as everything blackens around him. He then starts to feel hot, like an inferno and molten metal was being poured into his very soul reforming him into something new.

Ichigo stumbles backward having reverted to wearing his white kimono his sword nowhere to be seen.

“Jinnah, give him the sword,” Kisuke orders while he and Tessai work on infusing and regulating Jackson’s newly acquired power.

“Just stab me,” Ichigo huffs as Jinta only nods, stabbing the glowing swords into Ichog’s body. He is soon wearing his black shihakusho again though no sword.

“How’s our patient,” he asks.

“Scarred, but he’ll live,” Kisuke says. “That hollow… I had no idea there were parasitic types like that one. While he’s here I’ll have to do several tests and scans on him but he’ll be fine. I need the data on this hollow if we’re going to prevent this in the future.”

“I’m sure he won’t mind, just no needles,” Ichigo says while leaning against the while, “If Asta is tearing their asses a new one out there then we’re safer in here for now.”

“Agreed,” Kisuke vigorously nods.

Jackson starts to open his eyes.

“Welcome back,” Ichigo laughs.

"*groan* yea good to still be live how are you holding up," Jackson said while laughing before groaning again in pain.

“Hehe, it's kind of you to be worried about me but other than a few cuts and bruises I’ll be fine,” Ichigo sighs, “Although my reiatsu is nearly gone thanks to you.”

Jackson shakily sat up.

Suddenly there were the sounds of large explosions in the distance.

“You motherfuckers shall all burn in hell!” Asta yells. “You assholes think you can attack Waillen and not make my shit list! Well, think again while you all burn to ashes!” More explosions followed.

“Also Asta is back,” Ichigo nervously chuckled. “The bastard is stronger than ever too. Came in on a mechanical thestral wearing some sort of power ranger armor.”

"Oh my fucking God!" Jackson said while looking horrified by Ichigo before trying to get up. "We need to hurry up and get out there and help!!!" Jackson said before being stopped by Kisuke.

“You’re in no shape to fight at all,” Kisuke interject as he bops Jackson on the head with his fan, easily keeping on the floor. “Your body was just flooded with enormous amounts of Vizard reishi not to mention you just fused with a parasitic hollow. Even if your body is in top form your soul is not. You’d only get in the way of our benevolent ruler a the moment. If you don’t believe me then I wouldn’t have been able to keep you down with just my fan. You should also take a look at your left arm,” he points.

Jackson took. Gulp and shakily looked down at his arm. The whole arm was nearly solid white for some reason. He looked over his arm. It was quickly made clear the hollow that Kisuke mentioned had fused with him and started to devour his soul and had started with his arm slowly coiling up it. The was very little to no coloration of his original skin tone the further down towards his hand that was solid white. He had a black spot on the outer and inner parts of his arm signifying the hollow’s hole but it was still solid flesh while his fingernails were now longer and pointed similar to claws. On his shoulder was what looked like and upside-down skull. The teeth were just on his upper shoulder reaching into his torso, if one looked closely you could make out where the hollow had grabbed onto Jackson with its teeth.

"A-are you saying that I'm half hollow now," Jackson said still looking at his arm before turning to Kisuke.

“Not at all,” Kisuke waves his hand in front of his face as an explosion goes off with Asta cussing out more hollows. “The white part of your arm is still one-hundred percent you Jackson. It’s just the hollows burrowing into your soul that severely scarred it. You're more like Ichigo in terms of Vizards due to you being more of a naturally created Vizard than the Captains and Lieutenants. Unfortunately, it’s irreversible and it will also show up when you're in your body. The hollow is still inside you but it's buried deep in your soul right now. Eventually, you'll have to confront it but right now it’s sealed under all that have reishi Ichigo poured into you. That reishi will also transform the hollow into a full hollow instead of just a parasite due to Ichigo being hollowfied during the infusion process. For now, you need to rest.”

"Well that's good to know then," Jackson said while sighing in relief before looking at Ichigo and said.

"So….. how long is brother Asta going to curse and kill them out there because-" he said before another explosion went off, "I think he is going to make either Twilight or Fluttershy mad as hell," Jackson said while sitting on the ground still taking occasional looks at his arm.

“About that,” Kisuke speaks up while sipping tea, “They said to let him cut loose all he wants. All of Waillen’s citizens are currently cheering their king on as they watch the battle being broadcast via Twilight and Fluttershy’s transmission magic.”

"Okay, then I guess we wait until he finishes," Jackson said before laying on his back.

That’s when a song was heard from the street. Getting up, Kisuke walks over to the door and opens it

{cernter]

[/central]

That’s when they all heard singing in full force as the streets flooded with numerous white-clad Shinigami. There were others in the crowd as well. They all wore the Black Bulls’ Cloak as they flew with magical auras coming off their bodies. Everyone was headed for the gates of the city that opened without hesitation.

“Hehehe…” Ichigo wealy chuckles. “That bastard… he’s got a lot of support doesn’t he…” Ichigo says while Kisuke goes over and activates a nearby monitor showing what was going on outside the wall.

The smallest of the citizen was easily able to take down a hollow that was easily five times his size and weight. Jackson just stares with wide eyes and his mouth hanging open as the citizenry and along with several mages he didn’t recognize fought back the hollows. Not a single one of those who was fighting was taking little more than a scratch or a hit.

“I guess this is to be excepted, “ Kisuke rubs the back of his head. “The whole city has been trained by Asta to fight in some way since it was founded after all.”

"Damn that son of a bitch" Jackson said while laughing before adding, " I guess we both would do anything for our people and I guess the feeling is Mutual," he said while having that goku smile.

A large plum of green flames was seen on the monitor.

“Spike’s back,” Ichigo points, and then the skies darken with storm clouds. “And his problem girlfriend too,” he adds as rainbow lightning strikes across the field downing several hollows.

“How anyone can date that mare is beyond me,” Kisuke crosses his arms. “It looks like gillians ar string to pour out. We don’t have the power to deal with them in mass like this. I should get out there,” he stands up and then sees Ichigo pointing at the screen.

Asta stood on the front line having reverted back to his normal form. He pulled out a device and drew a magic circle in the air that then washed over him transforming him into his rager form again.

He then summons his bike and creates another huge magic circle allowing the machine to drive through it. His bike grows huge as the wheels split apart and four legs unfold from the halves. The handlebars shift back and attach to hinges that unfold into draconic wings while the rear wheel hub unfolds into a long bone whip-like tail. A skeletal horse's head then comes forward as the windshield splits apart down the center. The eyes light in a burning red as the Behemoth whinings to life as a giant thestral.

“He definitely couldn’t do that before,” Ichigo stifles out.

“Uthe Mejor Ultimas,” Asta calls as he then jumps through yet another magic circle increasing his own size while the machinal thestral transforms.

The beast rears back on its hind legs as the front legs then split apart from an empty cavity as the front legs adduct further into what look like shoulders as the legs extend into arms. Asta then jumps up through another magic circle that increases his size as he lands in the cavity and places his shield in front of himself, locking him in place. The wings and tail detach from the Behemoth. The wings combine to form a shield and the tail straightens to become a sword. Asta uses his new form’s arms to grasp his weapons.

“Behemoth Knight Megazord!” Asta roars as the chest plate activates to reveal a giant blue crystalline eye.

“No fair!” Ichigo falls over. “That asshole got a fucking Megazord now!”

Asta then pilot the oversized robot and starts to effortlessly cut down the gillians. The citizens in the meantime were cheering and fighting the whole time. Kisuke noticed that the arrancars has pulled and it was only norMAl hollows Left with a few gillians that were trying to retreat back into the Garganta.

“It looks like we won,” The shopkeeper says pulling off his hat. “We should get to the wall,” he says to the others who nod. Kisuke placed his hands on the two youths and they were immediately taken to the outer wall landing next to the Black Queens wh were still frozen in awe of all that just happened.

“Never expected that,” Ichigo says breaking the silence.

"Hell neither was I," Jackson said before smiling and saying, "Now I know if I die, Then my daughter/son will be safe here!" Jackson said with a smile on his face.

They looked on as the Megazord erupts in a pillar of fire and then they see Asta riding his motorcycle towards them. The whole city cheered in excitement and joy as he rode over their heads. Soon he comes and parks in front of them. He wasn’t happy.

Getting off his bike he walks over through SHy ad Twilight and comes over to Kisuke, glaring the whole time.

“What the hell is going on?!” He demands. “I left for one day and they attack in full force! What are my people doing out there in the fields fighting when they’re supposed to stay in the city for their own safety Kisuke?”

He was beyond pissed at this point and with good reason.

“They did it on their on Asta,” Ichigo cuts in. “Nothing we could do.”

“You’ve looked better,” Asta snorts as he looks over and sees Jackson. “And so have you,” noticing Jackson’s arm, “I expect a full report on this later Kisuke along with scans on Jackson and measures we can take against further assaults like this and how to prevent what happened to Jackson.”

“I’ve got to address my city ad people so you’ll excuse me for now,” He says as he walks over and hops on his bike before shooting off towards the palace.

Jackson was at alose of words at Asta’s behavior. He was totally different from the time he’d been in Jackson’s world.

“Shocking isn’t it,” Came a new voice. Everyone turns to see a tall blonde haired man sitting on the edge of the wall. His red coat blew on the wind. “He’s for more suited to lead people than even he realizes. Don’t you agree Jackson?”

Jackson was silent for a moment before saying, "I know that feeling too well after I became king of the Hidden Leaf Village I became more serious less laid back, and carefree because my people need a serious ruler, not someone who can give a crap about them," Jackson said before adding.

"I never thought that Asta would have the same thought process or even had a more serious outlook than I did," Jackson finished looking over to him.

“He did nearly lose all three of his girls to the former rulers of the residents of the old kingdom that once stood on the very blackened fields he just fought on,” The man says as Twilight and Shy realize what he was talking about. “I came to give you a warning little brother,” he looks over his shoulder revealed his amber eyes, “That arm of yours can be dangerous. It, like the hollow who gave you that scar can sheer off memories. And it's like cracking from a center point on a window to the outside edge. Taking memories from someone and it’ll affect the memories of them that someone else has of that person you just used that power on.”

“Why are you here Edward?” Twilight speaks up.

“To give that warning to my little brother,” Ed turns his eyes back to the open plains, “And to see what Asta has built prosper,” he stands up and starts walking on the air with a portal opening up in front of him. Edward turns back and looks at Jackson, “You and I will have many discussions in the future Jackson. Be careful with that arm of yours, and you should know, Asta and I have another younger brother. Making you an older brother too,” he smirks walking through the portal it then vanished.

Ichigo was shaking, “So that was Allen… What the fuck has he turned into…”

"Someone you don't want to fuck With when mad," Jackson said before thinking about what Ed said before he left.

He then looked down at his left arm before Thinking, "I feel like you're telling me something that might happen if I don't control this power, Edward what do you mean by that," he thought while still looking at his arm.

“Edwards warnings are often simpler than we make them out to be,” Shy takes hold of Jackson’s hand. “If I had to guess it has something to do with what is going to happen to do you in the future or something to do with you, maybe not even directly from the way he spoke. Just know that you can trust and lean on him,” she smiles, “He is your older brother after all!”

“How about we get you two back to your girls,” Twilight says opening a portal. “We have to get to the palace and help Asta and Aurora well be needing her mothers too.’

“Come on Dude,” Ichigo sighs as he walks through the portal.

Jackson nodded before walking through the portal to see his marefriends sitting around his unconscious body.

He looks at his marefriends, his new family, he was worried and scared but at the same time happy and filled with a new purpose and that is protecting what he has.

“What happened out there?” Kukkaku as. The girls turn to see her staring in the corner of the room. “Sorry forgot you three can’t see them. Let them get in their bodies.”

After a few seconds, Ichigo and Jackson sprang to life and immediately regretted it.

“Ichi,” Kukkaku asks.

Ichigo slowly opens his eyes then his mouth, “PAIN!” He yelps as every nerve ending in his form flared to life in agony.

"OH SWEET FUCKING JESUS THE PAIN!!!!" Jackson yelps in pain of the parasite Hollow and being infused with so much spiritual energy.

“Um… what happened to your arm?” Jackson’s Twilight holds up the limb causing Jackosn much discomfort.

"Well….. let's just say that I'm going to need some training with my new abilities," Jackson said before his Twilight gave him a glare in which he sighs in defeat before explaining what happened.

"WHY DIDN’T YOU TRY TO HELP CURE HIM!!!"Maud yelled at them while Twilight and Pinkie were on crying while hugging Jackson.

“There was nothing we could do,” Ichigo winces as he lay with his head on Kukkaku’s lap. “It was a naturally occurring parasitic type spiritual soul eater. Not even Kisuke knew about it so we had to do what we could with what we had before ot devoured his soul!” He shouts back as he sat up pushing through the pain. “He is the first fucking case of something like this happening that we know of. I’M SORRY FOR DOING WHAT I COULD TO SAVE HIS LIFE!” He roars getting to his feet returning Maud’s intensely hateful glare.

Before Maud could say anything she felt Jackson’s hand on her shoulder before he said, "Maud Pie calm down. I am still me, just with a new look that's all" Jackson said before hugging her.

She started to cry into his chest while he Comforts her before saying, "And Ichigo right if it wasn't for them my soul would have been devoured. If that had happened then he would’ve had no choice but to kill me," Jackson said while looking at Ichigo with a smile.

Ichigo carefully lays back down, “I’m sorry this happened but we didn’t know they had a weapon like that.”

“It could’ve been a lot worse if he hadn’t gotten there when he did too,” Kukkaku adds as she strokes Ichigo’s hair.

“And you’re going to get comfortable for a few days,” Says Asta as he walks into the room wearing all black with an ornate black and white cloak draped over his shoulders like a cape. On his head was a black metal crown. “You’re not going back to you’re world until you’ve stabilized that new power of yours and recovered enough to hold up a decent fight.”

"I thought you would say that," Jackson said before walking over to Asta before gently bopping them on the head.

"You damn idiot why didn't you tell me that your daughter was already born," he said before pulling him into a tight hug, " also congrats good things she has her mother's looks otherwise she would have your ugly mug," Jackson said trying to bring some humor into the situation.

“Kind of hard to say ‘hey come see her birth’ when it was sudden itself,” Asta pats Jackson on the back causing him to wince in pain. “The girls told me you heard from our oldest brother.”

"Yea he said to be careful with my left arm because it's dangerous," Jackson said while walking towards his marefriends.

"Also he said but in the future, he and I are going to have a discussion; also saying something about that we have another brother?" Jackson said while having an eyebrow raised in confusion.

“I didn’t tell you about him,” Asta rubs his chin, “Yea he’s mine and Ed’s baby brother from our home reality. He’s the Fairy King in his world. I met a displaced Zeldris whose his friend Their worlds are apparently connected somehow and they see each other regularly. I’ve spoken with him a few times via Ed’s token,” he holds up the alchemist pocket watch. “As for Ed. heed his warning and pay attention to when he’s in your world. Even if you summon him that doesn’t mean he’ll stick around. Being able to travel freely through other universe lets him have a lot of freedom.”

“Your brother sounds like someone we shouldn't cross and should meet even less,” Kukkaku adds.

“He’s very dangerous that’s for sure and he isn’t even a Void Dweller yet,” Asta nods, “But he’s a good guy and he looks out for us. Even when we’re not aware of it.”

"That I can agree on," Jackson said while nodding before Twilight whispered into Jackson’s ear making him blush crimson.

"Damn Twilight can you not have your mind in the damn gutter every time," he said while rubbing his temples in annoyance.

“Oh yes and I nearly forgot,” Kisuke says popping into the room out of nowhere, “No naughty bedroom times for you,” He says pointing at Jackson. “Not only are you’re spiritual powers unstable at the moment but you’re body and soul have to get used to your new guest. Also, you need to recover. The same goes for you Ichigo.”

“I didn’t plan on doing fun time until this pain stops anyways,” Ichigo closes his eyes. “And I know Ku wouldn’t want to break me even more.”

Kukkaku smiles, “Got that right.”

"Sorry Twilight doctor orders," Jackson said while shrugging his shoulders, but he was also happy cuz he didn't have to worry about having a fun time with them before he knew it he say something aloud for everyone to hear. "Besides I think I can't handle another round with you three I know I can go nine times, but you keep on screaming out go for 10," Jackson said before looking at the people in the room.

Asta walks over to Jackson’s girls, “Withy our permission I have the perfect punishment in mind for his comment,” They all look over to Jackson, glaring, then look back at Asta. All three of them gave two curt nods. “Perfect. The best part is it starts tomorrow after the pain subsides. Until then I leave him in your oh so capable hands dear sister-in-laws, make sure to give him a good massage tonight as payback to.”

“Dude,” Ichigo looks at Jackson with much pity. “Good luck tonight. You think moving is pain now ait till that massage,” he says as Kukkaku easily picks Ichigo up like a princess. “I see why girls like this. Later,” he says as Kukkaku carries him out of the house.

“Look at the time,” Asta check his non-existent watch, “Time to address the city and give Aurora her night bottle. Later,” he says thumping away.
