Viktor had dressed himself in his League of Assasins garb. He had put on his balaclava and checked that his armor fittings wouldn't come lose. He decided that it was a shame he wouldn't get to see his favorite Bleach hottie but took solace in the fact that he was about to deal some damage to some weird neo-nazis.
He made sure he had everything he needed in in his inventory and decided to get the show on the road. He would hopefully have enough time to sneak into Soul Society and take that Phoenix zanpakuto but that was mostly a side objective. He wanted to see if he could take out Ywach or at least delay him long enough for Ichigo to get properly trained.
He then walked into a shadow and started to feel around for the Quincy hideout out. He eventually found it, unfortunately he was made as soon as he stepped foot into it.
He put all his stealth training to use as he snuck around the 'palace' but kept running into guards. He eventually decided that stealth was barely working so he would eventually go loud in a few minutes he just needed to find a good target. He continued to wander about until he made it to a large room. He had just stepped into it when 12 Quincy came out of hiding and surrounded him.
He sighed in annoyance at being found and drew his tanto out and cracked his neck. The room was silent until a tall, long haired man wearing a mask steps out from behind a pillar and looks at him.
"An insect has found its way into our palace. It seems we must instill FEAR into it, so it will never think to cross the Quincy again in it's next life."
Viktor rolled his eyes at the melodramatic edge lord known as As Nodt. He knew that he was a heavy hitter and that his mission was now failed. He had tipped the morons off but he was gonna take out as many as he could before retreating. He then had the shadows cast by his opponents occupied by his shadow clones and decided to distract the edge lord.
"Seems to me, the Quincy are the vermin. You hide in the dark like the cockroaches you are and and as soon as someone exposes you, you scamper away like the filth you are." His statement having an effect on the gathered Quincy had them growling and gritting their teeth in frustration.
"It's only 13 of you, I guess I have nothing to worry about." This last declaration was like the starting bell and the 12 Quincy surrounding him took out their assorted weapons. Viktor released his shikai and the tanto grew to its katana form. He dodged a few arrows before flash stepping to other side of the room and slashing some poor distracted fools.
The battle had begun and when he noticed As take a step to join the battle he had his clones kill the small fry discreetly and collect the corpses into the inventory. One moment he was surrounded then the next it was just Viktor and As.
"I commend you, insect. You killed the small fry but you will die facing me." As used his ability, The Fear but did not get the reaction he expected. He saw Viktor merely tighten his grip and then had to dodge a slash to the neck.
"How?! Everyone has something they fear?! How can you not be effected?!" he screeched as he dodge another slash.
Viktor didn't answer and disappeared from As' sight. He had been downplaying his abilities but he sensed others were on the way so he decided to finish quickly and move on. He was starting to get arrogant again but he caught it early enough and the next moment he was slicing As Nodt apart. As Nodt barely had time to think before he had a blade sticking out of his neck. He was greatly weakened but was going to release his full power regretting that he had not done so sooner but unfortunately for him he didn't get a chance he was quickly bathed in shadow and he knew no more.
Viktor had used Devour quickly so as to hopefully stop As Nodt's ability from going back to the Quincy king. He had lucked out and managed it. He quickly stepped into a shadow and went to a safe house to assimilate the Quincy powers, He decided to use a majority of that energy he received from Devouring As Nodt to fuel the Hogyoku. He then wished for himself to be able to assimilate quicker and to just know all of the the victim's knowledge on how to use their abilities.
It was a big gamble but it had paid off. His spiritual energy became stronger and his shadow abilities now included the FEAR. He checked in with Cortana and Noob to see if there were any unfortunate surprises in his soul and body but they both verified he was back at 100%. Noob mentioned that the hogyoku would need more time to recharge, even though he used the Quincy's spiritual energy to fuel it, it would still take a long while before he could use it again.
Viktor decided to wait before he Devoured the other corpses and stepped into the shadow to go back and raid the Quincy palace. He emerged in the room he had just left and used his stealth to make it past some patrols and quietly took them out, his reiatsu sensing abilities were much better after he assimilated As Nodt and used it to better ambush the quincy soldiers.
He spent the next 2 hours engaging the patrols in guerrilla ambushes and storing corpses in his inventory. He had taken out 120 soldiers and was now being pursued by the Quincy elite. He decided he should cut his losses and bug out since the mission was a failure he had taken out a good portion of the soldiers. He knew that the Quincy forces were still big but he had gotten enough intel and would supplement that with his meta knowledge.
He was going to step into a shadow but was stopped by a light arrow piercing the shadow. He turned around and faced the Schutzstaffel. He was being surrounded by the dam elite Quincy guard.
"This is the end of the line, Shinigami. You have taken too many Quincy lives, time to die."
Viktor recognized the man with the eye patch as Lille Barro and cursed that he ran into that pain in the ass, since he had the potential to stall him long enough for the other Sternritter to show up. 'Looks like plan B it is.'
What the Quincy had not noticed while they hunted down "the shinigami" was the many shadow clones that had deposited mundane bombs that had been hidden on important structures throughout the palace. The structures were made of solid spirit particles like Soul Society, but the wonderful thing about taking the Quincy corpses was that they all carried Ginto. The little silver capsules held liquefied reiryoku.
Most Quincy were trained on the uses of ginto for spells similar to kido, they also knew that ginto could be used as explosives but were very rarely used as such due to the tremendous waste of such a resource.
Viktor had no compunctions about that use because he needed an exit strategy and with the new knowledge obtained from As Nodt he had set up the capsules to feed on the mundane explosions and make a bigger boom. He had never been more glad for his inventory or for his habit of hoarding weapons caches in the DC universe.
Viktor just tilted his head and asked, "What makes you think, I'm a shinigami?" He then used Hirenkyaku and slit one of the soldier's throat. The Quincy were shocked for a few seconds which was long enough for Cortana to send the signal to the triggering devices on the IED's he had set up with the Ginto and mundane bombs.
The Quincy were shaken by the sudden explosions and had been distracted long enough for Viktor to jump into a shadow and make his way to a Hueco Mundo where he used Sonido and released his hollowfied reiatsu to draw attention from a group of arrancar. He then went into stealth mode and shadow jumped into the human world and made his way to his safehouse via rooftop hopping.
He didn't think that the Quincy would be able to track him outside of the Silbern (Quincy palace) but he figured if they did that the hollows would slow them down and muddy the waters. The Creator had said he was universally immune to scrying and soul surveillance so he wasn't very worried.
He made it back to his safe house and packed everything into his inventory just in case. He then showered, ate and took a nap. He had no idea of the mayhem he had created in the Silbern with his Ginto IEDs as he took some well deserved rest after wondering how he had been made so easily in the Silbern if he couldnt be surveilled via his soul. He didnt see any electronic surveillance so he had to have been found out some other way. He pondered it before finally falling asleep.
Viktor found himself in a familiar white waiting room and walked over to the table and took a seat across from the Creator.
"I see you have gotten stronger in the current universe. It also seems you have had some fun causing all sorts of mischief." the Creator commented before materializing a tea set and take a sip of her tea.
"Yes, I have gotten stronger but it was mostly due to my hubris and extreme luck. My faults made themselves known at the most unfortunate time. I'm glad I learned of my shortcomings now and will work on correcting them. Is there a reason for our meeting, other than this wonderful tea?"
The Creator snorted, "Hubris indeed. we are having this meeting to let you know that you will be moving on to a new universe soon. You have gained all that you needed from this one and have caused quite a few ripples which may cause pleasant consequences in the future."
Viktor raised an eyebrow in interest, "Really? We figured there really was not much elss we could gain from Bleach, but this does seem a bit sudden. Is there any particular reason?"
The Creator let out a giggle, "If I let you stay any longer you would cause too much mayhem. What you have already done has helped me immensely with this universe. It was terribly out of wack but now there are more positive possible endings than bad and I really don't need or want you messing with this universe anymore than you already have. The next trip is actually to two different universes. you will spend a relatively short time in the next and once you have trained enough you will be sent on to the last to finalize your training."
Viktor grew more curious as the conversation progressed. "So not 3 universes but 4 before the MCU, huh? What changed?"
The Creator became quiet for a moment and finally answered, "Your next universe is the Harry Potter universe. There are many of those but, what is special about this one, is that the Hallows in this universe ARE connected with Death. All the others just grant magical power or some unique abilities but the one's in that universe have a miniscule sliver of the aspect of Death and she has been quite unhappy that she is not able to get them back. That is where you come in. You will be provided a background, and funds. Your main objective is to collect the essence of Death within the Hallows and give them to me and I will return them to Death. Your secondary objective is to learn all you can about magic. You may interfere with the 'plot' if you wish but your objectives will take priority also I will be taking the hogyoku from you. It is not really a power meant for mortals so I will be taking it off the board, as they say."
Our Protagonist was somewhat sad that he would be losing that resource but it's not like you can deny the Creator or stop her from doing what she wants. "Very well, how long do I have left in Bleach?" he asked.
"You have 72 hours after that you will leave, I gave you that time to prepare and say your goodbyes. Well that's all I had so will be sending you back now."
"Wait before I go, may I ask you a few questions?" The Creator nodded and sipped her tea.
"How was I discovered in the Silbern? How will I collect the essence of Death and lastly, can Cortana and I come up with our cover for Hogwarts universe?"
The creator hummed in thought before she replied, "You were discovered in the Silbern because you can not be magically tracked. Ywach saw a void where you were so he sent people to investigate. Something to look into fixing before the MCU... I'll think of something. You will receive special equipment from me so you may collect the essence. Lastly, unfortunately you can not come up with the cover but I can take suggestions."
Viktor nodded and had an internal conversation with Cortana and had come up with some ideas. "We would suggest that our background be of a pureblood that could contest Harry Potter's guardianship, not that I would want it but the threat could give us an advantage with dealing with Dumbledore."
The Creator let out another giggle. "I will take that under advisement, by the way you will be time skipped past the Soul Society arc. You will wake up the day they all come back. How do you want to leave this world, will you just disappear one night or will you fake your death?"
Viktor smiled, "I will fake my death, only Yoruichi remembers the truth of my existence but I have a feeling she will keep it to herself. Who knows, I might come back after I'm done with the MCU."
The Creator smiled, "Very well, say your goodbyes. By the way, I thought you spreading the gospel of Bob was quite amusing. He truly was a kind soul, you would never guess that he was the reincarnated soul of Atilla the Hun."
Viktor went wide eyed at The Creator's slip but before he could ask any questions he woke up in his bed.
---
"Did The Creator just prank me?" He asked.
"I believe she did chief."
Viktor had already packed and was going to stop by the Visored's warehouse to cook them one last meal as a goodbye then would spend the rest of the time with the Urahara shop residents.
He stopped by the noisy warehouse and cooked them a feast and partook in their drinking and as he was being walked out he spoke with Shinji. "You know that I do a lot of snooping around right? I don't know when but your help will be needed soon and your group will need to be in top form for the occasion, you will need to have everyone prepared Shinji. I would hate for one of you to die because you all got lazy and arrogant thinking you were at your peak. Time doesn't affect us like the humans so we go at a slower pace, but now is not the time for complacency." He then patted Shinji on the shoulder and left.
He made his way to the shop and was greeted by the sight of Jinta and Ururu sweeping the outside of the shop. He greeted them both and made his way inside where he greeted Tessai. He gave Kisuke a wicked smirk and teased him to throw him off so he wouldn't ask where he had been. He used the shower and went to his room to enjoy the last few days in this world.
He was met by Yoruichi and they spent the night and following morning enjoying each other's company. The following afternoon, He played around with Jinta, trolled Kisuke and painted with Ururu. He and Tessai had a nice conversation about kido theory while they prepared dinner together. Ichigo's crew stopped by for dinner and a debrief.
Viktor stopped Ishida and let him know that he would regain his powers so he didn't need to be depressed by it. He told Ichigo to train harder and to speak with his Dad about his background especially his mother's. He told Orihime and Chad that if they decided to continue being a part of Ichigo's life they needed to train harder so they wouldn't hold him back and become burdens. Ichigo was not pleased by that but Viktor told him it was their choice and if they chose to take part in the supernatural world they needed to be prepared for his sake, but mostly for their own sakes.
He had Cortana make a file on all the information that would be useful to Kisuke and had it hidden on Kisuke's computer with a time release for when he left. He was laying on his bed when Yoruichi walked in. She crawled into bed with him.
"You are leaving aren't you?" she asked as she lay her head on his chest.
"That obvious huh? Yes, I finally figured out how to get home. I enjoy being here but I have a mission to complete back home. Unfortunately, a lot of lives depend on my success otherwise I would stay here but, I am not selfish enough to jeopardize a whole world for my happiness and I think you wouldn't respect me if I did. Hell, I wouldn't respect me either."
Yoruichi remained quiet for a time, "I understand, I would do the same. It has been fun and you helped us out more than we thought we needed. Although, I think you had that planned from the beginning."
He snorted, "You can't prove anything."
She smiled into his chest, "Always an ass. We will miss you, you know."
He smiled as he stared into the ceiling and stroked her hip. "I AM hard to forget. We may not love each other but I did grow to care for you, and the other residents of this world. Although, I am not leaving for another two days so we may as well get as much, 'Shori time' in as we can."
Yoruichi grinned and they proceeded to make their final days as memorable as possible.
It had been 3 days and he spent it making sure he was unforgettable to Yoruichi. He spent time with the kids and Tessai. He also spent that time trolling Kisuke which led to him sending a recording of Kisuke confessing his love for Soi Fon and having it delivered by Yoruichi.
He told the Urahara shop residents he was leaving again, they of course thought he would come back but Yoruichi was the only one who knew the truth. He kissed her goodbye and walked out of the shop before he flash stepped to the edge of town before Cortana initiated the travel gate.
"Onto our next adventure, chief."
Viktor grinned, "In the famous words of Dory, just keep swimming." He soon disappeared from the world.
The following week Kisuke saw he had an email from Shori. He read it and was deeply saddened.
Kisuke,
If you are reading this that means that I am dead. That sucks but everyone has their expiration date, it just seems mine was sooner than initially thought. I leave this file in your possession to help you in the near future. Some of this information will be helpful to you, some of it will be useless but you are a smart man so you will figure it out. Tell the kids I will miss them. Tell Jinta to keep working on his swing he has a good foundation he just needs to keep practicing to become great. Tell Ururu to be the brave girl we know she is and to continue painting, she is talented and it would be a shame to waste such a gift. Tell Tessai he is a good man and to watch over all of you like the gentle giant he is. Tell Yoruichi not to be sad, I've just gone on my next great adventure. Lastly tell Ichigo to stop being a baby and to continue training because a protector is only effective when they are strong. The file I left should be shared with the Yamamoto. You may also want to speak with Ishin about coming clean with Ichigo because he is doing him a great disservice otherwise. That's it. I leave the care of this world to you.
Shori.
PS. It's time for you to stop being a coward and tell Soi Fon how you feel. Seeing as I'm such a great friend I have had Yoruichi deliver a video of a certain someone confessing their undying love for a dangerous petite woman. Hahaha. Even from the grave I'm still getting the best of ya. I expect your firstborn to have an awesome name like Shori.
PPS. I also ordered you some Rogaine to help you with your bald spot.
Kisuke was saddened then when he read the post script he was filled with both anger and fear. Anger for the bald comment but fear because Soi Fon now knew how he felt. He smiled bitterly at the memory of his friend. He shed a few silent tears and cleaned himself up and prepared to tell the rest of the fate of Shori. He opened the file and was both worried and relieved. Leave it to Shori to get all this intel to help his friends.

Viktor woke up in the Cosmic waiting room again and was greeted by The Creator.
"Well played Viktor, you continue to prove you are the right man for the job. Before you get to the new world a few things, You will be Viktor Peverell last head of the Peverell line. You have been hidden by fidelius all your life and your family tree will be revealed before your arrival.
That makes you, Harry's paternal uncle. Well more like James Potter's cousin but uncle will do. You of course have plenty of funds in the Peverell vaults and will arrive in the new world in the year 1985.
I chose that time because knowing you, you will mess with the plot, it isn't going to make Fate very happy but you are untethered of Fate so she cant do anything. One last thing, Your new identity wilI have a house elf servant named Pip to aid you.. If you have any questions have Cortana, send me an email. I still find it amusing that you are the only mortal in existence to have a direct line to me."
Viktor took in the information and Cortana filed it away. He nodded in acceptance then he woke up in a large bed in what seemed to be a manor House. He got up and heard a faint pop. He reacted on instinct and had his hand around a small neck. He realized he was about to snap a house elf neck and quickly let go.
The House elf was choking and he quickly apologized. "Sorry about that Pip, I dont react well to people suddenly appearing near me. From now on always pop out of my reach just in case, ok?"
"Y-yes master, Pip be forgetting youse be jumpy to house elf popping. Pip be getting masters breakfast ready for when master done dressing." the startled house elf replied before popping away.
"Well...damn. Not even here 5 minutes and already almost killed my house elf. Let's see what kind of mayhem we can cause these Morons"
