Ichigo: Damn it, he had to remind me of that shameful blunder.
Lucifer: Recalling it, are you?
Ichigo: … it’s not like I had any choice in the matter.
Ichigo: You’d do the same if one of your loved ones are in danger.
Lucifer: in a bleeding heartbeat, my boy. in a bleeding heartbeat.
Ichigo: (After the drama with Aizen and his Arrancars, back in Las Noches)
Ichigo: (And the Fullbringers from Xcution after the brief moment I lost my Soul Reaper powers)
Ichigo: (I resumed with the normal life I am allowed to have at some time, like attending to school)
Ichigo: (so, when I was about to leave School to go home. my friends and I were suddenly ambushed)
Ichigo: (and they weren’t Hollows or Arrancars)
Ichigo: What the hell?! Where did they come from?!
Uryu: I don’t know, I can’t scene their spiritual pressure. it must be their mask and cloaks.
Yasutora “Chad” Sado: I doubt they are friendly.
Ichigo: I don’t think so, either.
Ichigo: (We fought off the masked attackers, Chad was badly from it, but they were a diversion.)
Ichigo: (they distracted us so that Shuren, their leader, kidnaps my sisters. knowing that I’ll come)
Yuzu: Ichi-ni!!
Karin Kurosaki: Ichigo!!
Ichigo: Yuzu!! Karin!!
Kokutō: Stand back. I'll handle this.
Ichigo: (Suddenly, a stranger with a black sword came and attacked Shuren, only managed to save Karin)
Shuren: You?! What are you doing here?
Kokutō: I should say the same thing to you, Shuren. trying to sneak out and cause trouble?
Kokutō: you know damn well you’re not allowed to leave Hell, Shuren.
Shuren: Damn you!!!
Kokutō: Too late for that
Ichigo: (I watch the two battle, I dread for Yuzu for she is still in Shuren’s mercy)
Shuren: Damn it, you had to make thing complicated, Kokutō!
Shuren: No matter, one hostage should suffice.
Shuren: Listen here, Ichigo Kurosaki!
Shuren: If you want your sister back, you will break the Gates of Hell.
Shuren: If you don’t, hell’s about to have a new resident and she’ll suffer there for all eternity. Farewell
Ichigo: Yuzu, no!
Ichigo: (When Shuren walks through the Gates of Hell with Yuzu, I rushed off to pursue him)
Ichigo: (Kokutō stopped me before the gates closed entirely.)
Kokutō: Whoa there, I wouldn’t go there, unless you want your soul damned for all eternity.
Ichigo: Who the hell are you?!
Kokutō: Easy, kid. I maybe from Hell, but I’m not your enemy.
Kokutō: My name is Kokutō, and as you can see by the chains on me, I am a sinner.
Ichigo: but you came to help me, why?
Kokutō: Personally, I hate those Sinner bastards, you don’t always make friends in Hell, but always enemies.
Kokutō: So call it an impulsive act to screw with that Shuren bastard. So what do you say? We team up?
Ichigo: I don’t know…
Kokutō: I got to be honest with you, I can’t defeat Shuren on my own, Sinners can’t harm each other
Kokutō: In Hell, we are immortal, doomed to suffer for all eternity, and a permanent death is a release.
Kokutō: but with a Soul we may have a chance, long enough for you to rescue your sister, unlike I couldn’t.
Ichigo: Hold on, can we go to Hell if tue gates will damn us?
Kokutō: Luckily for you, the gates aren’t the only entrance to Hell. there are portals call hellmouths
Kokutō: dangerous of course, but less risky for your soul.
Ichigo: (I reluctantly accepted Kokutō guiding us to Hell, Rukia, Renji and Uyru joined me on this mission)
Ichigo: (They show concern about this, especially Kokutō who is also a Sinner)
Ichigo: (Hell looked different to where I am now. the Hell Kokutō brought me… is a prison)
Lucifer: (Jikoku, the Hell for Japanese Sinners, is always gloomy and terrifying)
Lucifer: (They make the Inferno here, look pleasent…ironically given how the Overlords run the place.)
Ichigo: (The sinners we pass by are unlike the inhuman demons that reside in the dark city)
Ichigo: (They are nothing but husks, scared and empty, hiding from the Kushanada, the jailers of Hell)
Ichigo: Are those… Sinners?
Uryu: They're skin and bone... how long have they been here?
Kokutō: Don't waste your pity. They're sinners, same as me. This is their fate — to be hunted and devoured by the Kushanada for all eternity.
Kokutō: And a word of warning — if those things catch you, you'll be trapped in Hell indefinitely. The Kushanada don't take kindly to intruders.
Kokutō: uh oh, speaking of which, here’s one of them. Run!
Ichigo: Damn it... Uryu, Rukia, Renji... they're still back there fighting those things.
Kokutō: They chose to stay behind so you could push forward. If you believe they're strong enough, then trust them.
Ichigo: You're right. They can handle themselves.
Shuren: How touching. You made it this far, Kurosaki. But this is where your little rescue ends.
Ichigo: Shuren!! Give me back my sister!!
Shuren: If you want her, then do what you’re here for. Destroy the Gates of Hell!
Ichigo: I’ll destroy you!
Ichigo: (I clash blades with Shuren, the battle was not as easy given how resilient he was, but I managed)
Ichigo: (I cut the bastard down and rushed in for Yuzu to rescue her, only for Kokutō to stab me in the back
Ichigo: W-What? (Shocked that In was for this treachery, which I should’ve seen it coming from a Sinner)
Kokutō: Oh Ichigo, I am so sorry to do this, but you need to understand the circumstances here.
Kokutō: I’m the one who wanted you here, and I know damn well you wouldn’t have come here willingly
Kokutō: No unless you have to. I know about your gallant rescue mission at the Soul Society to save Rukia.
Kokutō: and the other at Las Noches to save your girlfriend Orihime.
Kokutō: ever the hero, so predictable for you. willing to go to hell if your sister was in danger.
Kokutō: how predictable and so gullible.
Ichigo: W-Why?
Kokutō: I needed you here, to break me free, free from these accused chains. to use your abnormal power.
Kokutō: the power… of a monster
Ichigo: Bastard! You’re the monster here!
Kokutō: Oh Ichigo, if I were a monster, I wouldn’t have any use of you. No, I am but a damned wretch.
Kokutō: cursed by my hubris for what I did to avenge my own sister, killed by HIS hands!
Ichigo: (Kokutō moved aside and approaches Shuren who emerges from the lava and attempts to reform)
Ichigo: (Kokutō was partially truthful at one thing, he hated Shuren with every inch of his damn life)
Ichigo: (I watched Kokutō stamp on the molten blob that is Shuren who tries to emerge from the lava)
Kokutō: this wretch, his damn unable obsession of fire, burned her alive, I tried to save her
Kokutō: but I couldn’t, I failed her. and the only thing I could feel at that time and still do… is rage.
Kokutō: I do not regret killing this bastard and contempt on making his eternity here a literal hell.
Kokutō: but there is a limit in how long I can bear my own suffering, and my rage still yearns for revenge.
Kokutō: and I will not rest, until am out of this damned place.
Ichigo: I’ll be damned than let you get out of here, Kokutō!
Kokutō: you, your friends and your sister, will be damned here, Ichigo. I make sure of that.
Ichigo: Damn you!
Ichigo: (I then clash blades with Kokutō, I was beyond furious, which is what he wanted)
Ichigo: (to unleash the monster inside me so to cause wanton destruction to shatter his chains)
Ichigo: (I foolishly walked into his trap)
Kokutō: What's wrong, Ichigo? Too weak to save your own sister?
Kokutō: If you don’t hurry, she’ll succumb to Hell’s toxic air and become damned forever.
Kokutō: But why wait? Let’s damn her here, in Hell!
Ichigo: YUZU!!!
Ichigo: (Kokutō did the unthinkable, he attempts to kill Yuzu by plunging her into the lava)
Ichigo: (My fury has reached it’s peak that I transformed, becoming the beast that he wanted to free him)
Kokutō: There he is, now unleash your fury upon me, and break these accursed chains containing me!
Ichigo: KOKUTŌ!!!!!
Ichigo: (I didn’t know what I was doing, the hollow inside my is beyond furious that I am berserker)
Ichigo: (which resulted in me destroying the gates of hell, and nearly started Armageddon.)
