Random and completely overpowered-as-all-fuck-but-just-as-funny-as-Arnold-Schwarzenegger-in-Commando idea:
Right before the Thousand-Year Blood War arc, Ichigo gets summoned to Las Noches by Harribel, who after leafing through the memoirs of both Starrk and Ulquiorra, found out something disturbing.
If it hadn't been for the war, one of them would investigate the rumors of a winged sword-wielding Menos Grande marking the northwestern deserts of Hueco Mundo as its territory.
Harribel gives Ichigo a simple task: look around, find survivors, see if the rumor is true and get the hell out of Dodge if it is indeed true.
He goes, and shit happens. The rumors ARE true, and the horrifying monster charges down Ichigo.
It's a long, difficult, and painful fight, where our boy Strawberry has to use all the tricks in his arsenal: badly-controlled binding spells to slow the thing down, everything he knows about the sword to keep the thing at bay... he even goes Bankai for nothing, as the thing matches him in speed and power, almost as if he's being toyed with.
Somehow, fighting a Menos Grande of such capability allows him to pulls on his Hollow Mask, he gets into the form that curbstomped Ulquiorra before, but it still doesn't faze the damn thing! In fact, the more hollow and shinigami powers he uses, this thing keeps getting faster, stronger, smaller...
...until a fuckhuge clash of powers obliterates the landscape.
Ichigo stands up to see an amazing sight: the Menos Grande, due to being exposed to an anomalous being like Ichigo, had evolved into an Arrancar. Not just any Arrancar, a female. Pale skin, blond hair, and the oddest-colored eyes he'd ever seen.
After he sees that the rage has gone from her eyes, he introduces himself as Ichigo Kurosaki, part-time Soul Reaper.
The woman introduces herself as Teresa.
And then she smiles at him.
