The Vizards (Edited)

"So, you finally awake, Ichigo." Ichigo, who had just woken up slowly got up, shook his head in pain "What... What happened to me, Urahara." Just as he asked that the memories of that day came flowing back, he immediately forgot about his pain and grabbed Urahara's hand. "Rukia, what happened to Rukia!"

Seeing Ichigo Urahara could only shake his head, causing Ichigo to let go. "She was taken to Soul Society for her execution. You were lucky that Mysterious Person only knocked you out." Hearing him speak, Ichigo couldn't calm down he remembered how he was beaten and clenched his fist. "That guy he... He was too strong."

"Ichigo, I know you want to save Rukia, but you're not strong enough as you are. I have a way to get you into Soul Society however, there is a catch." Hearing Urahara, Ichigo instantly turned his head. "What is it tell me Ill do anything!" Seeing Ichigo's determination, relit Urahara could only sigh. "If you train under me for ten days, I'll give you away into Soul Society."

Hearing the condition, Ichigo wanted to refute by saying he had no time for training, but remembering how easily he was defeated held himself back. "If I train with you... Will I be able to defeat him?" Even without mentioning who he was talking about specifically, Urahara knew who he was referring to the Mysterious Person who had blocked his way.

"That Ichigo will depend on you and you alone. From what I can tell, that person is keeping you alive for some reason. You will have to use that to your advantage." Saying that Urahara stood up, lowering his hat and walked to the door before pausing.

"Rukia's execution will have a 30 day grace period before it's carried out. I want you to use today as a break Ichigo go back to school and spend time with your family. This journey will be long, and I won't be going easy on you." With that, he walked out the door, leaving Ichigo there sitting on the futon, thinking of everything he said.

Meanwhile, Shen, who had been using the Image Training every 24 Hours, finally managed to level it up through regularly using it every chance he got. He was now able to use it for 4 hours per session. Other than that, Shen felt he was starting to feel more and more like he was playing a game. F

Trying to find moves to use, he was like a speedrunner using all types of tactics to destroy the Menos as fast as possible he had almost gotten it down to an art. Of course, every now and then, he would practice using his techniques in conjunction.

As time passed, it didn't take long for Ichigo's training to start. Due to the fact, his Zanpakuto wasn't cut by Byakuya, and his chain of fate wasn't severed he was able to begin training to get his Shikai right away. Not only that, he was actually progressing even faster than initially.

In only eight short days of training, Ichigo had learned how to activate his Shikai and call upon 'Zengetsu'. As Shen kept an eye on Ichigo's training the moment, he realized Ichigo managed to unlock his Shikai in only eight days, confused him, but also made him happy. Returning to the warehouse, he entered Image Training, instead of fighting Menos, he decided to fight Ichigo.

This was the first time he was going to fight an actual person in training instead of fighting a hollow. Once the training began, he was standing in the middle of an open field with Ichigo only a few meters in front of him and as he thought he had his Shikai out. "Finally. These last few days have been so tedious."

With that remark, Ichigo charged at Shen at a swift pace. Although he wasn't as fast as nor strong as Renji, this was already an improvement from when he defeated Ichigo the first time Ichigo immediately sent a downward slash towards Shen.

However, before the blade could even touch, Shen caught the edge between his fingers, enhancing them with a layer of Ki. "Good now, how many of you should I fight." In that instant, Shen sent a punch straight towards Ichigo's head as he struggled to move his blade. With a bang, a notification appeared in front of Shen.

"Hmm... Let's start with fifty." With that, Shen's training began once again with a different training 'Partner'. Ichigo's training continued to progress smoothly. Being able to spend the remaining days, he had to master his Shikai.

As he fought with Urahara, his mind was indeed focused on saving Rukia. Still, elsewhere in his mind, he couldn't deny he was looking forward to a rematch with Shen. With his power steadily rising, so did Shen's at an alarming rate.

Exiting his training due to his four hours being up, Shen stretched while standing up. He had a basic routine after his training was over. Suddenly Shen had felt something.

Eight people had entered the are, and we're heading in his direction. He always kept his guard up the moment he left training, making sure to sense the are around him in case of any sneak attacks and whatnot.

Just from there speed alone, Shen could tell these people were not humans. 'Shinigami? No, if Soul Society knew where I was, they wouldn't send only eight Shinigami.' It didn't take long for those eight to arrive at the abandoned warehouse. "Hiyori, how about this place." Shinji, who was standing the air, was pointing down to an abandoned factory.

All of these eight people were Vizards failed experiments by Aizen. "Eh, you want us to stay here? This place looks like it could collapse at any moment." A short girl in a red tracksuit and two spikey ponytails. "It's not that bad, Hiyori, plus you know we don't have money to buy a proper base." Shinji replied to her as he descended to the entrance he turned to Hachigen. "Do you think you could renovate this place?"

"Yes, it should be fairly easy." Hachigen calmly said, not seeming to mind the poor conditions. "Alright, then it's decided!" Shinji said that he opened the main door of the warehouse after breaking the lock. Opening the door, he was surprised to see someone standing there.

Up until the moment they opened the door, Shen had been preparing himself, but the moment he caught sight of who it was who entered, he was pleasantly surprised. 'The Vizards? Why are they here? Wait, don't tell me this warehouse is the same warehouse from the anime?' Shen looked around one more time and did honestly think it looked familiar. 'Dam, how did I not notice that.'

Sighing, Shen composed himself and suppressed his shock. 'Well, whatever I guess there is no harm done, this might even be a blessing in disguise.' Walking into the warehouse, Hiyiro passed Shinji, who had stopped in front of the entrance.

Looking around, she noticed someone standing in the middle of the warehouse. "Huh, why is a human here? Lisa, didn't you say this place was restricted or something." Sensing no spiritual pressure whatsoever, Hiyori thought Shen was a strange human.

Lisa replied, unhurriedly. "It is I'm guessing they snuck in here." Just when Hiyori was going to speak again, she heard a voice. "You know its rude to speak about someone who is standing right in front of you." All the Vizards there quickly became cautious the moment they heard him speak directly to him. The only people who could see them were either Shinigami, Hollows, or Quincy. "He can hear us?" Lisa said, surprised.

"Yes, and I can see you, and I can also tell you I have already claimed this spot as my base." Shinji walked forwards, standing in front of everyone else with a smile on his face. "Ah, sorry about that we didn't notice anyone was here. Though I am interested in why we can't sense you." Shinji's smile turned dark while continuing to stare at Shen.
