This choice: Sure, let's use an special senkaimon • Go Back... Ichigo and his friends, and Uryu, had come to Urahara's shop, more specifically to his underground training room, the enigmatic businessman had already been quite helpful training Ichigo to stand a chance against the thugs who had stolen Rukia, even if said help had been rather...unorthodox, but he was still his best bet to rescue his friend.
"So what's this...thing?" Ichigo said, pointing to the large artifact standing in front of them, some huge doorframe made out of...papers? Was this some kind of sculpture?
"This is not a 'thing', Ichigo, it's your ticket to the Soul Society, shouldn't you be more excited?" Urahara mentioned as he stood beside of the 'ticket', placing a hand on it as he looked at the would be rescuers, "Before you go through there's a few tiny details you need to know"
Ichigo frowned in response, making the salesman chuckled, "Calm down it's nothing serious, this is a senkaimon, or at least an artificial senkaimon, it may or may not have some side effects"
"Why couldn't you build a normal one?" the substitute shinigami asked, already having a bad feeling about this.
"Because I'm but a poor humble salesman! Building a senkaimon would ruin me, you want that to happen, Ichigo!?" Urahara yelled, raising his arms to the air, shaking them in random directions.
Ichigo was about to remind this 'poor salesman' that they were currently inside a basement larger than his own house, but Orihime beat him to it, not pointing out the flimsiness of the argument but doing something...different.
"Look, Kurosaki-kun, look!" she called for him, when he turned to see he found her kneeling next to his empty human body, placing her fingers on his mouth and moving his lips up and down, "I'm Ichigo Kurosaki!" she said, with a forced deep tone, slightly lifting Ichigo's body up, raising his arms to the air, "I'm the bravest and meanest guy in the world, and I'm gonna save Rukia! I'm Ichigoman!"
"Inoue-san please stop that, he already looks stupid enough without help" Uryu said, not know what shocked him more, feeling some sympathy for that idiot or Orihime being able to lift Ichigo's empty body.
Urahara cleared his throat, hoping to recover the group's attention, which mostly worked with only Orihime ignoring him, he still proceeded with his explanation, "As you know only souls can enter the soul society, but only Ichigo can move freely as a soul, you three would remain attached to your chains of fate" he pointed to Ichigo's friends with his cane, just to then hit the senkaimon with it, "That's when this beauty enters the scene, when you go through this door, the kishi present in your bodies will be replaced with reishi, the main component of souls, and you'll be able to enter Soul Society with no problem whatsoever!"
"What about the side effects?" asked Chad, rubbing his chin while looking at the odd 'door', feeling something fishy about the 'may or may not' statement.
"Good question, as I said before this side effects may or may not happen, and it's nothing serious it's not like you would spontaneously combust but you will be left in a more weakened state, that's what worries me, so if you can try to avoid direct combat" Urahara looked directly at Ichigo, "Specially you"
"What? And what about all the training you made go through?" Ichigo shouted, glaring at the shoddy salesman.
"It was to give you a chance, remember that the guys that took Rukia have decades of training, you could never reach their level with just a few weeks of training, I trained you to survive not to win"
"You're wrong, Hats n' Clogs! I don't care how prepared they are, I'm gonna beat them because I have to save Rukia! I don't plan on coming back without her!"
"That's the spirit Ichigo, now go out there and rescue my most loyal customer!" Urahara cheered as he turned on the senkaimon, the young heros took this as their cue to leave and went through the glowing door.
PLOP
And as soon as they went through they fell unconscious, their limp bodies hitting the ground like boulders, landing on the other side of the training grounds.
After seeing that Urahara turned it off, seeing the unconscious bodies laying on the ground, wondering how they had become.
"You really think this is going to work, Kisuke?" Yoruichi said as she descended into the training ground, still on her cat form, "Trying a shoddy prototype doesn't sound like a sound plan"
"I admit it's not a sound plan, but sending them as they are would be a death sentence, Ichigo might survive but the others?" he shook his head, "Infiltration is the best option, they will be attracted to souls with powerful reishi, so they probably would end up in shinigami's bodies, hopefully captains or lieutenants"
"And what if they end up as buildings? In case you forgot, they're made up of reishi" she reminded him, making a chuckle leave his throat.
"That was a possibility but I made sure to recalibrate it, they should be attracted to a specific kind of reishi, but since I see you're worried about our young friends why don't you use the other senkaimon, they might need your help, specially to get out" he admitted but turned his attention back to the unconscious bodies, "I'm going to restrain their bodies and maybe see who they are"
