The Universal Villain

"You know out of everyone if the Zero Squad you two were the most hyped up. Everyone thought these two were going to be the most badass out of everyone. And I'm not going to lie after seeing a fat lady who can create Reiatsu enhanced food and another guy who used a hot spring as a weapon. My bar was set pretty low."

Looking up at Ichibei and Oetsu with a hint of a smile. "But you surprised me, don't get me wrong, you still got destroyed. But you two were badass for as long as you were alive. And that's why I'm glad you two are the last ones alive." Shoving his hand into the empty void Shen pulled out a Katana made void.

"You're going to be able to finally give the fans what they have wanted for a long time." Shen's flashed as his Mangekyou Sharingan activated, allowing for a black flame to escape its gaze. The black katana's blade was lit as a black flame coated it almost perfectly. 'Though in this situation, I guess I'm the only Bleach fan in this world.'

Staring at the Katana in Shen's hand, Oetsu's smile changed. "Yo that's a very nice looking blade you got there and that fire is pretty hot too." Listening to Oetsu, Shen took the compliment. "Thanks created it with my own eyes and brain." Oetsu tilted his head as he responded. "Well that's good I'm glad you can create them so easily."

Suddenly something came flying down from the sky above Oetsu. With a glance, Shen could see that object moving in slow motion. "Oh?" Moving swiftly Oetsu grabbed something out of the falling object before it continued on its downwards course into the ground. With a voice hiding murderous intent Oetsu's smile disappeared.

"Cause when I cut your blades apart a hundred times over I won't feel bad." Seeing the blade in Oetsu's hand Shen knew exactly what it was. The failed creation of the creator of Zanpakuto that can't be considered a sword. 'A blade so sharp no sheath can contain it huh? So I just have to avoid getting cut.'

Turning to Ichibei, Oetsu swung Sayafushi around in the open air. "Ichibei you just sit back and relax I'll deal with him myself." Turning to Shen, Oetsu's glasses shined. "Though I'm not sure what you mean by we got destroyed I'm sorry that we have been such a disappointment to you up till now. Let's see if I can't change that."

Immediately after those words were uttered Shen's eyes caught a glimpse of something. Four slashes almost appear simultaneously in front of him. "Shinra Tensei." A powerful repelling force shot out in every direction causing the four slashes to immediately stop. "Sorry, but I have spent a lot of time maxing out my reaction speed and agility."

Turning around faster than the eye can track Shen swung his blade at the person behind him. However, to Shen's surprise, it felt as if he had cut air. Stopping his swing he was honestly shocked.

"I swear this has never happened before."

Looking at his blade the upper half had been completely cut off. Meanwhile Standing in front of him was Oetsu with his head half-c.o.c.ked looking at Shen. "I told you I would cut your blades apart a hundred times over." Hearing that Shen laughed inwardly as the katana's blade slowly began to morph and regenerate.

"Well guess no one can say the Zero Squad can't deliver." Saying that Shen went on the offensive. "It's just gonna end the same way." Seeing Shen attack him, Oetsu blocked Shen's slash however this time there was a collision. Surrounding the very spot Sayafushi was the Gura Gura halo. "You may be able to cut through almost anything physical. However, I doubt you can cut through something like this can you."

As the space around Oetsu's blade cracked he reacted quickly, backing away from Shen. "Oh?" Appearing behind Oetsu, Shen swung again, coating his blade in the Gura's Gura's power. Blocking Shen's strike once again Oetsu was quickly put on the defensive. This type of encounter repeated itself as Shen and Oetsu's appeared and disappeared traveling hundreds of meters in seconds.

As cracks seemingly breaking space began to litter the sky. Stabbing at Shen's head with the tip of his blade, Shen's mix of Dojutsu and Observation Haki began to show more and more results. 'His reaction speed is getting better as he fights.' Thinking to himself like this Oetsu failed to notice the looming shadow above him.

Slamming down onto him Oetsu was sent hurtling down to the ground by a massive golden palm. Landing face-first into the ground Oetsu was embedded into the rubble below. "Guess that whole hundred times over thing didn't pan out huh?" Switching hand's Shen looked down at the direction Oetsu had landed as he held up his palm.

Soon a ball of energy resembling a red star appeared in front of his palm. "I've been experimenting with combining my different powers for a while now." Starting from a size twice as big as the ball of Ki Shen charging, a Gura Gura halo slowly got smaller, condensing its power. "Now I think the name 'Big Bang Crash' really fits."

Without waiting a second longer Shen fired his attack. Speeding through the skies like a rocket, Oetsu still hasn't managed to get up from Shen's previous attack as the red orb hits its target. Immediately a massive explosion rang out expanding and disintegrating everything it touched. It was so bright it was almost blinding as a secondary shockwave expanded outwards.

Soon it seemed the earth itself had been split as miles of ground rifted from the power of tremors alone. Large slabs of the earth rose and fell, destroying the crater made from Shen's two previous meteor stunts. "It's a lot more destructive than I thought." Blocking the powerful winds shooting into the air from the explosion Shen was forced to squint his eyes.

Meanwhile, inside of the fortress, Urahara felt the entire place shake, turning left and right. "Master must be having fun." Tinkering with the fortress's controls for a moment in the control center everything quickly evened out. Putting his hand on his chin, Urahara swung his cane around in an arc. "Though if these shockwaves get any stronger I might have to move us farther away. What do you think Rukia?" Turning to Rukia who was keeping an eye on him and Orihime until Shen returned she completely ignored his question, gazing in a different direction entirely.

"Why are you so cold to me…"

Back outside the fortress, the aftermath of Shen's attacks had disappeared leaving what could only be described as a mess. However, the one thing that immediately caught Shen's attention was the massive floating ink mark. 'You know I keep forgetting I can't read Japanese.' Although he couldn't read what the mark said he knew who it came from.

Floating just above where Shen had knocked Oetsu. Standing under the word 'Seal' were indeed Ichibei and Oetsu safe from the destruction around them. "Are you ok Oetsu?" Looking at Oetsu Ichibei asked him as he removed the ink mark from above them. "Ya I let my guard down and I never suspected anyone would be able to stop Sayafushi like that."

After observing Shen for as long as he had Ichibei has come to one conclusion. "His very existence is a threat. And one we must remove." Holding his large paintbrush-like Zanpakuto, Ichibei had activated his Shikai state the moment he protected Oetsu. "Well then let's get to it shall we." Speaking in a carefree manner Ichibei and Oetsu flew up to Shen's level.

"Have you felt it through Ichibei?" For once Oetsu seemed disturbed as he mentioned the strange feeling he had been getting. "Yes, that oppressive force seems to have been growing as he fought. Though I'm not sure what it is I doubt it's good." Tapping his brush shaped Zanpakuto against his shoulder, Ichibei grinned. "Well well just kill him before anything happens."

Oetsu nodded his head to Ichibei as the two of them attacked Shen together. "Teamers…" Dodging both of their attacks the moment they came in range Shen realized he was in a strange predicament. 'One blade can cut me in half and the other can cut my strength in half.' Either way, he couldn't let them touch him.

"Alright then." Stepping down on the air below him, Shen rocketed towards Ichibei. In response, Ichibei created a massive palm in front of it before sending it towards Shen. However, as Shen was hit head-on with the impact of the massive palm he turned to smoke. Flying down from above with his leg raised, Ichibei immediately raised his Zanpakuto to block before the flash stepped away.

Both the attacker and the receiver canceled one another out. In that position, Oetsu appeared behind Shen slashing down at his head. But there was no impact. The blade went straight through Shen's body until finally passing all the way through. Attacking without even turning his head Oetsu was still in shock as Shen's foot landed directly on his throat.

With that much force landing on his neck Oetsu's breathing stopped as Shen went up to him and grabbed him by the hair forcing him to look him in the eyes. As Oetsu continued to choke Shen saw himself reflected in Oetsu's eyes.

"Hey, interesting fact. That black flame I used before burns whatever it touches till there is nothing left. At a long-range it's dodgeable but when it reaches a certain range it becomes almost instantaneous."

Oetsu's eyes immediately widened. Ichibei appeared behind Shen swinging his Zanpakuto from the right. However, once again Ichibei's attack went straight through Shen's waist as he activated Amaterasu. In an instant, Oetsu's entire body caught fire as a face of disbelief was left in his wake.

"Gaah!" Falling to the ground, Amaterasu continued to burn away at Oetsu's body. Seeing this Ichibei face began to turn. "Well, I think that's quite enough." Ichibei's eyes seemed to change as he began to chant. As he chanted with a swing of his Zanpakuto a seemingly endless amount of darkness began to pour into the space Ichibei stood.

Pulling out a wooden sake bowl as the darkness around him filled the cup Ichibei looked at Shen with narrowed eyes as he continued to chant."Come and have a drink. And once you do, your life will fade." Finishing the chant, Ichibei stabbed his Zanpakuto into the air in front of him, leaving it seemingly floating. "May you ever be reborn again. So that you won't be sacrificed as food."

The darkness around him rose from its dormant state as a large mausoleum made of darkness rose from the ground.

"Futen Taisatsuryo!"

Lying under the mausoleum were seemingly hundreds of gravestones shattered and made of the darkness surrounding Ichibei himself. "This darkness will be your end and your final destination child. Everything from your flesh to your blood shall be removed and set to nothing. As a being who does not deserve to exist, I will remove you from this world."

Talking about his end Shen seemed unfazed by Ichibei's words as he simply stood there. "Yes, this is indeed the end." Once again a familiar feat had occurred but this time it was permanent. Ichibei for the first time could sense Shen. "You can sense it right? The fact you can sense my spiritual pressure means this battle is over and it has finished feeding on my Reiatsu."

Shooting out from Shen's back, purple chains made of Chakra flew towards Ichibei. "What!" Biting into Ichibei's body six chains latched onto his limbs holding him in place. "What is this? Why did Futen Taisatsuryo not work." Looking at Shen in confusion and utter shock Shen looked at him calmly before placing his hand on the c.h.e.s.t plate he was wearing.

"This is why your ability didn't work." An intense pressure fell onto Ichibei as a bright light appeared in the center of the berserker armor. "This is the Hogyoku." Seemingly merging with the armor itself the Hogyoku began to morph the berserker armor almost turning it into clothing for Shen to wear.

The Hogyoku's will was something that surpassed a Zanpakuto or a Zanpakuto's abilities. If Ichibei wanted to remove Shen from this world he would also have to remove the Hogyoku and that was something he could not do. 'I see it now so this is what Aizen felt.' Feeling the Hogyoku's presence Shen could finally understand why Aizen was so confident in himself.

This much power could easily get to one's head. "That should be impossible…" Hearing the word impossible Shen chuckled looking at Ichibei's face. "Well in the end it doesn't matter. Your ability to revive yourself just by having your name said is powerful so…" Opening a portal into his pocket dimension Shen allowed Ichibei to peer in the void.

"I'll keep you in there for all eternity in the darkness you love to talk about so much." Shen's words caused Ichibei's facial expression to freeze. And before he could even say a word Shen did just as he said he would. Pulling Ichibei into the portal to his pocket dimension with the Chakra made chains.

With Ichibei gone, the darkness surrounding Shen disappeared, allowing his Zanpakuto to fall out of the sky and into the rubble below. Stretching his arms Shen let out a grunt as a load of system prompts appeared in front of him. 'I had been ignoring all the prompts so far but I can imagine how many levels I have gained from killing the Zero Squad alone.'
