Part 3 Solution

Unknown place.

Unknown time.

Third person narration.

Baam stood for some time in the pose of a hero with a sword over his shoulder, after which he left the image of the main character and immediately began to examine himself.

Wow, these are clothes! Hair no longer falls over the eyes. Uh, sword in hand! Baam examined himself and his new image.

"Calm down, I just materialized your power. It's not the Zanpakutō power I told you about, it's just an incarnation I gave for your power." Ichigo said as Baam considered his new image.

"I still don't understand anything, but now we can get out of here, Mr. Ichigo. Thanks to you, we can do it," Baam said happily.

"Don't talk nonsense, this is also your merit, you did much more than you think, feeling your hidden power, but I didn't succeed right away," Ichigo said to the joyful Baam.

VROOM!

The entire cave suddenly began to be covered in red light.

- WHAT IS THIS?! - Baam's joyful mood was replaced by anxiety, as well as Ichigo's mood.

"I don't know myself, but be on the alert," after the spoken words, Baam raised his sword and realized one thing. "Mr. Ichigo, I don't know how to fight at all,

-. . ., - Ichigo fell into a stupor.

Baam himself didn't say anything either.

Suddenly, Baam was swallowed up by the Red Light and the cave was empty.

***

Another dimension.

Third person narration.

In a large room, Gods and Monsters are painted on the walls. A red pillar appeared in the center from which a shadow appeared, and the red light dissipated. It was Baam who was still on guard

— Where am I? Baam asked, looking around the room. "Ichigo-san, are you here?!"

"Don't worry about that, and stop calling me 'sir', okay? Ichigo said a little annoyed.

"But you yourself said that this is a sign of honor to a person whom you respect. You are a person whom I respect," Baam answered innocently, looking at the black blade.

"You don't have to call me that, we are on an equal footing, although my position is even a little worse than yours," Ichigo said irritably.

"No, don't say that, Ichigo-san, if it weren't for you, I would even…" But his speech was interrupted by a soft knock.

TOK.

TOK.

Baam immediately turned in the direction from where this knock came from the darkness.

"Any question, any desire, anything you can imagine, you will find at the top," said a voice from the direction Baam was aiming his blade at. "My name is Heodon," a voice came from the back of Baam, who immediately turned around and got scared when he saw the creature with a country of shape.

Lice!

Unexpectedly for Baam, he jumped away from the creature into a wider spread.

"Lovely, lovely, I did not expect that you would already have skills when passing my floor," Cheodon said happily, twisting the golden staff in his hands, and Baam was still surprised at his speed.

- Is that how I jumped? Baam asked himself in surprise.

"I think you have become stronger physically, but don't relax," said Ichigo, who didn't like something about this rabbit monster, "let's hear what he has to say."

"I beg your pardon if I frightened you," Cheodon bowed respectfully as a token of apology.

"Um, come on," Baam waved his hands at this.

"Let me introduce myself again, I am Cheodon, one of the keepers of this Tower. The tower in which your any dreams, questions and even the most unrealistic fantasies can become a reality, - Heodon solemnly announced, to which Baam and Ichigo obviously did not know what to say, - alas, I can't tell you more, you will learn the rest, climbing to the top.

- Top? - said Baam, and the wall behind him changed, turning into a huge aquarium filled with an unknown substance similar to water, in which a huge creature swam, which was now looking at Baam.

"The rules for climbing to the top of the Tower are simple, on this floor, as well as on all subsequent ones, tests await you for passing which you get the right to climb higher," Heodon said while Baam looked at the aquarium. "If you want to retreat, now is the time, the tower is an incredibly dangerous place, even someone like you can be overtaken by death."

Baam listened to everything Heodon said, and so did Ichigo.

"Baam," a voice sounded inside Baam and he closed his eyes, and after opening he saw that he was in his inner world and was standing not far from Ichigo.

"Now it's up to you to decide what we do next," Ichigo said, and Baam raised his eyebrows surprisingly.

"Mr. Ichigo, I..." Baam paused as he considered Ichigo's words.

"I am no longer what I used to be, now I am simply your strength; those who help you master your power and those who support you in everything, whatever your choice," Ichigo said.

Baam returned to the real world.

"Mr. Heodon, you can ask a question," Baam asked, looking at the aquarium.

"Hmm, of course I'm listening to you," the rabbit replied.

- At the top, I can fulfill absolutely any desire? Baam asked, and Cheodon smiled eeriely.

"Absolutely anything, Mr. Baam.

Baam himself clutched his sword in his hand and went to the aquarium

What do you desire?

Glory and respect?

Wealth and power?

To sweep?

Or something more?

"I wish to help my first friend regain what he lost," Baam said, gripping the blade tighter in his hand, "and I also wish to find more friends.
