The Universal Villain

Chapter 93 - Preperation

"By the way, I don't think I ever told you guys my name. It's Shen just to let you know." Treating Hiyori like a pet Shen talked to everyone there as if he was trying to make friends. However, despite hearing Shen's name no one made a move everyone except for Ichigo. "Bankai!" Instantly a sphere of Reiatsu coated Ichigo before he came flying out towards Shen with his mask equipped.

Dragging his Zanpakuto across the ground Ichigo the maximum amount of strength he could into this single strike by combining it with his Getsuga Tenshou looking as if a mini hurricane surrounded its edge. "Your mine!" Ignoring the guards around Shen the pressure from Ichigo's strike was nothing to scorn at.

With a single swing around half of the Void Warriors were instantly destroyed while the rest deformed themselves to survive the blast. A large column of Reiatsu rose into the sky, parting the clouds above as well as destroying the ground below them at the same time forming multiple cracks.

Intense winds shot out in every direction causing Hiyori who was close to Shen to be knocked back, slamming through the warehouse walls and into a pile of rusted metal beams outside. Meanwhile, with his Zanpakuto already raised in the air, Ichigo channeled even more power into his Zanpakuto as he swung downwards with all his might. "I'm ending this now!"

Cutting through his own attack Ichigo used his Getsuga Tenshou once more which caused the two attacks to combine into one. Seeing what was going on Chad quickly turned around and ran towards Orihime grabbing her like luggage before running away. Reacting slightly slower the Vizards also retreated as the warehouse around them began to fall apart.

Finally, with the attacks reaching their climax the entire ground floor of the warehouse exploded coated in black Reiatsu. The explosion destroyed everything in the area leaving only dust and smoke in its wake. Soon Ichigo's figure appeared dashing out of the smoke with his hollow mask slowly fading due to him reaching his time limit.

"Ichigo what the hell was that!" Grabbing Ichigo by the shoulder, Shinji looked ticked. "You could warn us if you're going to just Hollowfy and blow up the entire warehouse!" Looking back at Shinji, Ichigo had a serious look on his face. "He was distracted and I managed to hit him two times at full power. If we act too cautious around him then we won't get anywhere."

Shrugging Shinji off his shoulder Ichigo brought his attention back to the dissipating smoke. Holding back his annoyance with Ichigo, Shinji was surprised when realized Shen had disappeared. "What?" Looking surprised Ichigo looked around for Shen but couldn't find him.

On the other hand, Shinji was thinking to himself. 'No matter how fast Shen was with all of them being there it should have been impossible for him to just disappear.'

"Gah!" The sound of someone groaning immediately attracted everyone's attention as they changed their focus to behind them in the direction of Chad and Orihime. Using a single hand Shen kept Chad's body suspended in the air while holding him by his neck.

Quickly using his other hand Shen grabbed Orihime by the arm forcefully pulling her into his grasp he held her shoulder. Silently Shen whispered into Orihime's ear. "Don't move unless you want me to snap his neck." In an instant, before Orihime could even let out a whimper she froze up in Shen's hold with a terrified look on her face.

"Chad! Orihime!" Seeing Shen had both of his friends Ichigo rushed towards them despite Shinji reaching out to stop him. Shen only smiled as he saw Ichigo charging towards him as the deformed Void Warriors quickly gathered in front of Shen forming their bodies once again. Before Ichigo could even reach Shen he was blocked just out of reach.

Looking at Ichigo with narrowed eyes everything Shen did make Ichigo's blood boil. "You've gotten so hot-blooded Ichigo. I don't remember you being so angry before. Hmmm…" Acting as if he was thinking Shen's expression changed.

"Oh is it because of what happened to Uryu? Or maybe because your dad had suddenly disappeared? Well, it's not like I care either way."

Turning his gaze back to Chad and then to Ichigo who's expression clearly showed his anger. Slowly a menacing smile grew on Shen's face as he moved the arm holding Chad. "Here you can have your friend back." Pulling Chad like a ragdoll, Shen continued to toss Chad like a ragdoll towards Ichigo who quickly reached out to catch him.

However, midway Shen's eyes changed as he activated his Sharingan. Suddenly two black portals opened up from under Chad following which black spikes the size of Chad's forearm appeared stabbing both his right and left shoulders. "GAAAH!" Chad's scream echoed out as Ichigo looked ahead in dread and Orihime's eyes began to fill with tears.

"Now Uryu won't be lonely." Squinting his eyes Shen felt his vision decline once more like a sharp pain shot through his head but still, he remained calm in front of everyone. "Although his recovery will probably be a lot slower since I'll be taking her."

Looking down Orihime Shen's gaze caused her to shiver as a Kamui portal began to open. The space around Shen and Orihime began to twist as he spoke. "Don't worry, I'll return her… Eventually."

"Ichigo!" Orihime yelled out as they disappeared before everyone's eyes. Before Ichigo could even say anything the entire event was done. The Void Warriors that were defending Shen disappeared back into his pocket dimension as Chad's body fell to the ground with his shoulders pouring out blood.

Seeing Shen had disappeared Shinji flash stepped towards Chad and Ichigo. "Ichigo snap out of it." Shacking Ichigo briefly, Shinji saw that he was completely out of it. "Dammit! Hachigen help Chad and slow down the bleeding! Kensei goes to check on Hiyori and make sure she's okay.

The rest of you spread out and search for Orihime; she's the only one who can fully heal these kinds of wounds right now."

Giving out order's everyone was stuck in place for a moment before finally acting. Meanwhile, within the Kamui dimension, the space on top of one of the black pillars opened as both Shen and Orihihme's figure came into view. Dropping to her knees due to Shen letting her go, Orihime looked around hastily before looking up at Shen.

"You said you wouldn't..." Hearing Orihime, Shen chuckled as he began to relax. "Relax I didn't kill him if anything his arms will be paralyzed. Though again not a doctor." Turning away from Orihime Shen looked ahead of them where the backside of a throne made of Shen's pocket dimension could be seen.

Dangling off the armrest were someone's legs as Shen yelled. "Hey wake up!" Orihime was confused at this interaction since they had gone through all of this thinking Shen was the one in charge of everything. 'Who is that?' Seeing the legs dangling over the armrest suddenly move.

"Ugh… You guys are here already? Not gonna lie I was expecting you to fail miserably."

Laughing, Shen looked at the figure and came into view and to Orihime's surprise, it was another Shen. "Well, I didn't think that a clone would be enough to kidnap her but it looks like I was worried for nothing." Hearing Shen the clone simply shrugged his shoulders as he disappeared into a puff of smoke.

"What… How did you." Looking from the smoke to Shen, Orihime couldn't understand what was happening. Shen on the other hand bent down to her level on the ground. "Don't try to wrap your head around it, you'll just get more confused." Standing up Shen glanced in the direction of where he was creating the 'batteries' before looking back at Orihime.

"Now for the reason, I bothered bringing you here." Standing back up Shen waited for Orihime to stand to her feet. "I want you to use your ability to heal my eyes." This was what Shen really wanted. His eyes losing their light was simply a side effect of the Sharingan and wasn't something that could just be healed or else it would have in naruto.

Instead, it was something you were stuck with until you got the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. However, with Orihime's power, it does not simply heal but manipulates time to make it so the wound never existed. And with something like that Shen could abuse his Sharingan as much as he wanted with no repercussions.

Hearing Shen, Orihime froze for a moment before speaking." N... No. I won't. I refuse to." And with that came the first issue. Orihime's powers have a sort of sentience to them and unlike Zanpakuto who doesn't care whether their masters are good or evil, her powers can refuse. "Oh? Well then now we have a problem." Turning away from Orihime Shen's face changed as a golden light appeared in front of him.

At a speed, Orihime couldn't hope to see a massive golden palm landed only a few feet away from her face accompanied by a massive statue. A strong gust of wind blew her hair as her eyes began to adjust and her breathing hastened. "Do you get it now?" Turning back to her, Shen dismissed the 100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva.

"Even if I need you alive your friends are an exception. If one single clone could defeat them then me killing them personally would be the easiest thing I've ever done." In an instant, Shen disappeared from in front of Orihime to behind her as he whispered in her ear. "So do me a favor and stop trying to act brave. And instead, just do what I tell you to do."

After giving Orihime that 'warning' it only took a few minutes for her to finally comply. Standing straight Shen watched as Orihime hesitantly activated her powers. Holding her hands in front of Shen's face, a see-through yellow barrier appeared in front of his eyes. The healing process began almost instantly as Shen could see things that were once blurry become clearer by the second.

"Finally…" Despite being able to see the world around him in different ways, for example, Ki and Haki Shen would still rather have his eyes then see the world through other senses. As the healing began to slow Shen could feel along with his eyes minor wounds and scars that have not properly healed were also brought back to full working order. "Oh, this feels amazing." With his body and eyes being fully refreshed Shen opened the status menu.

As expected his Sharingan light lost had been completely reset. '14k SP points saved up just for a time like this.' Despite the constant increase in SP Shen had actually spent most of what he had earned only to gain it back with a bit extra through all of his constant fights. 'Now all I have to do is finish up all the preparations.'

Looking at Orihime from the corner of his eyes Shen gave off a smile. "Thanks for your help Orihime I 'appreciate' it. I promise I'll give you a thank you gift in around twenty days." Blindly hinting at his plan Shen held Orihime by the shoulder as she spoke.

"Wait what? I thought you were going to let me go home." Hearing that Shen laughed as if he had heard a funny joke. "Let you go home? Why would I let you go? I'm going to use your ability to its fullest until the very end."

After saying that Shen teleported himself and with addition, Orihime to the main platform in the Kamui dimension except things looked a lot different. Instead of the same old boring platform, they were instead they were a couple of hundred meters in the air looking at a half complete massive fortress.

Despite not needing to sleep or eat Shen still appreciated comfort; it's just he never had the time to think about it. But now things were different. There was barely anyone left to fear in this world and soon everyone would know about him anyway which is why he has Kisuke and his a few spare clones begin construction on this.

"What is this?" Looking at the massive structure being created slowly in front of her Orihime ended up saying that involuntarily. Hearing that Shen had to admit personally as well it was indeed impressive. 'In truth, Urahara has had the idea of building us a base in the Kamui dimension for a while but I never really saw the need too.

But over time the more I thought about it the more interested I became.' Standing on a round platform connected to the main fortress through a bridge the entire place was a combination.

'Using Reiatsu to build the exterior and interior it would be able to rebuild itself if destroyed.' Along with that aspect, Shen is using his clones to slowly coat the entire place in his void making which would make it almost indestructible against anyone too weak. The design of the fortress was pretty much Shen's chance to unleash his inner weeb.

Combining a bunch of idea's Shen went for a diamond-shaped design. At the top where they were would be where Shen lived along with other things and as they went down it would expand before stopping and closing into a point. Slowly Reiatsu was being transformed into materials that continued to build the fortress.

"In any case, you'll be living here for the next few days. And don't even try escaping this entire dimension is sealed off from the outside world and let's just say the guards are more than capable." Shen wasn't worried whatsoever of anyone escaping as he knew exactly how strong he had made each Void Warrior here.

As Shen walked straight ahead across the open-air bridge he spotted someone walking towards them from the other end.

Seeing this person as well from a distance behind Shen Orihime immediately noticed it was Rukia. Shen gave her and Urahara an outfit change with a long coat stretching down to their legs and a sort of butler attire which had a mix of black white and blue. Although he didn't know exactly what anime it was from it was extremely durable.

"Rukia!" Seeing Rukia, Orihime wanted to run to her however she was almost immediately different from doing so after seeing she still had that cold look in her eye. Bowing, she greeted Shen, ignoring Orihime's call. "Welcome back Master Shen. Kisuke is currently working with your clones to finish your fortress in time."

Hearing that Shen felt more excited than he had in a very long time. "Good. Oh, take Orihime to one of the completed rooms." Hearing Shen's order Rukia simply nodded before gesturing to Orihime to follow her. Leaving them alone Shen walked into the main hall of the fortress. It was basically a throne room although Shen didn't want to make it too big Kisuke ended up going slightly overboard.

"Well, then time to finish making those 'batteries'. Teleporting himself Shen was greeted by a massive open space near the middle of the fortress. This was one room Shen prioritized to get done before anything else. Already filling a small amount of the room Shen had around eight clones each having 25% of his chakra.

"Alrighty then let's get this show on the road." Smiling to himself Shen began creating the clones and preparing for the battle ahead.
