900 years until He regains his form.
90 years until He regains his mind.
9 years to regain His power.
And only 9 days until he regains The World.

Uryus words practically echo in your mind.
You are not certain why he decided to tell you this, perhaps he just wanted to warn you, but it doesn't really matter.
What matters is that Uraharas previous words of warning suddenly make a whole lot more sense now.
''There are dangers you can't even begin to imagine.''
Or so he said.

However once everything was said and done you found yourself lost in thought like all the others.
The silence was getting very awkward and so you spoke up if only to occupy your mind for a bit.

''Pesci!''

''H-huh?''

''Please grab a few fruits and bring them here.
I believe we owe that much to Uryu...''

''R-right.''
Your friend then stood up and went back behind his counter to grab a few unprepared Idun.

Meanwhile you turned your attention back to Uryu who looks like he wants to say something.
''Thank you.''

''We had an agreement...
But! Before I do my part, I still have one question.''

''Then say it.''

''How much of this is true?''

''All of it.
But as I said, you need to take it with a grain of salt...
Most of our history has been either wiped out by the shinigami or badly damaged over the millennia.
And... that bit about the King being created by someone... pure speculation.
It's just that once this idea took root in my head I couldn't shake it off and I just needed to share it with someone.''

You raise an eyebrow at that.
''What about your own kin?
You know, your father or that other guy.''

''They were never really open for such conversations...
Neither of them seems to care about the topic in general.''

''Huh...
Well, it might not be much but I think you're on the right track... assuming your origin story is indeed true.''

At this Apacci scoffs at this.
''In any case, you got some pretty effed up fairy tales.
How do you tell this anyway? Do you just... lean in close to the quincy babies that just recently popped out and start whispering ''900 years until he regains his body etc. etc.'' into their ears while they are in their cribs or somethin?''

Actually she has a point there.
If these are indeed folk tales then the Quincy almost rival Hansel and Gretel in terms of messed up stories.
But with everything said and done you have a choice to make.

''Anyhow...
Since you kids are here... Do you have anything you'd like to check out?''

The boys look at each other.
''Erm... not particularly.
How about you Sado?''

He nods.
''I've seen a tattoo parlor.
I'd like to check it out.''

''SADO!''

''What?''

''What will everyone think if you just show up with a bunch of tattoos all of a sudden?!''

''But... they won't be able to see it. Right?''

''Oh... I forgot about that...''

But you look at Chad after hearing this.
''Can't recommend it.
If it's who I think it is then it's erm...
A bit of an orthodox method, meaning it's not done with steel but bone and hurts more than you'd expect.''

''You speak like you've experienced it before.''

''Because I did.
Granted, mine was worse than most.''
You turn around and lift up your scarf, revealing the large ''2'' on the back of your neck.
''It was customary that every member of the Espada got a number.''

''Oho.''
Apacci looks at that.
''The Segunda showed off his number?!

The two boys just look at it dumbfounded.
''2...
D-does that mean-''

''That I'm the second strongest?
Maybe. It's hard to tell.
But it's also true that these things are nothing more than relics of the past nowadays.
I'm probably the first nowadays but at one point this was accurate.''

Uryu finally manages to compose himself.
''I see. So all of your numbers directly correlate to your power...''

''Not necessarily.
It's only 1 through 10.
Everyone elses numbers only show the order in which they became Arrancars.
But as I said, we stopped using these a while ago.
Since the time you screwed up Soul Society to be precise.''

Uryu appears to be lost in thought again and it's Chad who asks a question.
''Who's the number 1 then?''

''HAH!''
Apacci begins laughing.
''His wife!''

You smile at that.
''Yeah. I was about to say that you've already met her.''

''But enough of that...
Chad, if you really want to go through that then I won't stop you.
Please follow me.''
You stand up and signal the boys.
''Girls, how about you?''

''Heh. Why not?''

''The heck Mila Rose?''

''We never do anything interesting anyway.
At least this is something new.
Are you saying it wouldn't be fun watching the humans wander around all confused?''

Apacci begins stroking her chin.
''Oh yeah...
Now that you mention it.''

''Then it's decided.''
You speak up.
''Pesci, catch ya later.''

With that settled you took the kids to the place Chad mentioned.
You had a hunch that it'd be Gantenbainnes shop and you weren't wrong.
Upon arriving you took Chad inside alongside Apacci who was curious enough to come and look.

The moment you entered you saw Gantenbainne standing up from his stool.
''Oh Kaizar mah man!
It's been a while!''

You shake his hand and speak up.
''Yeah. How are you doing Gantenbainne?
You've been off the radar for a while now.''

''Aw yeah!
It feels great! Not having to deal with all that Arrancar or Aizen bullshit!
Now I can just freely live for mah art!
Speakin' of which, are you lookin' for some extra color for your skin?''

''Oh no. It's not for me.''

''Heck yeah!
It's for this guy!''
Apacci springs out from behind you and as Gantenbainne notices her he also sees Chad behind her.

''Shiiiet...''

''My name is Yasutora Sado.
And I'd like to employ your services.''

''Erm...
Okay. Least I'll have plenty to work with.''

Then with a smile on your face you leave the hut just as Gantenbainne whips out his weapon, Dragra.
Guess he stepped up his game.
You aren't certain which one you feel sorry for, Gantenbainne or Chad.

Upon leaving however you notice something else that makes you feel even happier.
Uryu can be seen curiously looking at an elder womans stand who specializes in tailoring.
And suddenly you remember that the boy is actually a member of the handicraft club.
Meanwhile Mila Rose and Sung-Sun are having a field day constantly teasing the boy for his love of sewing.

But as you're about to walk up to them you hear a loud crash from around the corner.
After turning around you see a rather large Adjuchas profusely apologizing to the store owner whose stall he crashed into, his appearance doesn't ring a bell to you.

You decided to check out all the racket but first you walked up to Mila Rose and Sung-Sun.

''Hey erm... I'll check that out.
Can you keep an eye on Uryu?''

''Oh? Okay then.''
Then Mila Rose turned back to Uryu.
''So you can make capes huh?
Could you make a skirt for me? One I could move around in?
Here!''
She then makes a scene and puts up her leg on a nearby table and begins caressing it slowly.
''I'll even let you take my measurements!''
And just as Uryu begins turning beet red Sung-Sun and Mila Rose both start laughing hard.

But with that done you made your way to where all the noise came from.
As you get closer and closer the words of the Adjuchas become easier to understand.

''P-please! Just let me help!
I'll fix this.''

''I told you, it's fine!
I'll handle it.''

You aren't really able to make out the exact details with such little information.

''Excuse me but is there a problem here?''

Both the Adjuchas who's responsible for this mess and the female arrancar look at you in surprise.
''K-Kaizar Soize?!
P-please let me explain myself!''

''It's nothing serious.
He just bumped into my stall. Nothing serious.''

''Ugh... I...
Yes. That's what happened.
I was careless. It's my fault.
B-but I offered to help! I'm really, truly sorry!''

You look at him and notice that although his face is covered by his mask he does have a sickly hue to him.
His purplish skin appears to be rather white, almost pale really.
In addition to that the bags are visible under his eye even with the mask obstructing your view.

''Are you ill?
You don't look too good.''

''Erm...''
His eyes begin shifting around, trying to avoid eye contact.

''Y-yeah...
You don't look too good but I didn't want to say anything.''
The female arrancar speaks up and confirms your suspicion.

''Ugh...
The truth is that I haven't been feeling too good lately.
And I crashed into the stall because I was feeling a bit woozy...''

''Are you feeling fine?
Do you need any assistance?''

''N-no. I'm fine, really.
I just feel like an ass...''

''I told you, it's fine!''
The woman gets visibly more irritated.

Meanwhile you're busy taking a long, hard look at the Adjuchas before you.
He's tall and bipedal with a purplish skin that you have a hard time deciphering how it'd look normally.
And his mask bears a large, wide grinned mouth with two straight, purple lines connecting the mouth and the eyes.
Also he has two additional markings coming from the top of his head but these don't connect to anything and instead coil upward.

''What's your name?''
You ask him.

''Uh... erm...
I don't really have one. Never needed it.''

''That's odd.
I thought there is nobody like that around anymore.''

''Well...
I haven't been around for that long.
Erm... that is: I haven't much time in the city. At all.
But I've been here for a long time, starting service while Aizen was still around.''

''Service?
What service?''

''My task.
It was my responsibility to guard the gillians that Aizen gathered up for his army.
That's where my ''name'' comes from. The Guardian.
That's the only thing anyone ever called me.''

''The Guardian?
That's a lofty title.
Why you specifically?''

''Erm... no real reason....
Buuut. I suppose there was that one... thing.''

''Thing?''

''Well the truth is that I think it had to do something with that accursed shinigami...''

Uh oh.

''That man... Ashido Kano.
I fought that bastard for as long as I could remember, sometimes for days.
He always went around, slaughtering our kind. After a point I couldn't take it anymore and opposed him everywhere I could.
In time I gathered a few fellows who were impressed by our fights.
And on one day it just so happened that one of our brawls happened close to Aizens little herd of Menos.
After successfully driving Ashido off Aizen gave me authority over his minions so I could keep the Forest of Menos from the likes of Ashido.''

''Damn.
Interesting story.
Where are your friends now? Could you ask them for help?''

''N-no...
They all died.
One day Ashido just... disappeared for a while.
After he came back he managed to slaughter all of them, with his BARE hands no less!
I was the only one who could keep up with him.
The worst thing is that the fiend has disappeared yet again!
I've been searching high and low for him but so far I was not successful. And I worry what might happen if he shows up again!
What if he comes back even stronger? What if I won't be able to hold him back anymore?!
WHAT IF-''
But before he could keep going on he began coughing quite violently.

*cough*
''And now this BLASTED sickness!
I don't have time for this! I need to get back and find that bastard!
Or get stronger! I can't just sit around doing NOTHING!''
*Coughing violently*
''I *cough* WILL GET STRONGER!''

This time it's you who tries to avoid eye contact.
''You know what?
If it bothers you that much then you should visit The Doctor.
Tell him that Kaizar sent you and that you have something that'll interest him.
He'll fix you up in no time.''

''Truly?''

''Of course.
And...''

''W-What?''

''Yeah. You're not going to like this but you should know.
Your adversary is no longer in Hueco Mundo.
In truth he returned to the Soul Society.''

His eyes go wide.
''W-Wha?!''

''It's true. I'm sorry.
Now, please. You really should get to the doctor as soon as you can.''

The Guardian simply keeps staring at the ground.
''...
No...''

''What?''

''I'm not going anywhere...''
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_UdhAFyruk
''Not until... I find... and slay him...''

Out of nowhere you start feeling a surging stream of reiatsu coming from the Guardian himself.
In a fit of panic you quickly grab hold of the arrancar girl and get far away from the hollow.
And a good thing too because as you turn around to look at him you see purple energy gathering around him and then exploding violently outward as he begins screaming at the top of his lungs.

The shockvawe wasn't powerful enough to be compared to an explosion but it did manage to shake all the buildings in the immediate vicinity.
All the residents who are at home look out of their windows in bewilderment and you even see some Exequias members showing up from all over the sector.
They begin rushing towards you as soon as you set down the girl.

''SIR!
THE FUCKS GOING ON?!''

''DAMN IT!''
You curse.
''I DIDN'T SEE THIS COMING!''

''SEE WHAT?!
IS THIS FUCKER GOING TO EXPLODE?!''

''NO! WELL, YES!
HE'S GOING VASTO AS WE SPEAK!''

The soldier before you drops his jaw at this.
''YOU SHITTIN' ME!''

''ABSOLUTELY NOT!''
You begin pointing him to his fellows who already surrounded the area.
''FORM UP A DEFENSIVE BARRIER ASAP!''

''DO YOU NEED ANY ASSISTANCE SIR?!''

''NO!
I'll handle this!''

The officer nods and gets back to his fellows via Sonído.
He turns to the others and takes the lead.
''OKAY EVERYONE!
LIKE WE PRACTICED!''

They all raise up their hands and you get close to the Guardian before they'd erect the defenses.
In sync they all speak up words you didn't expect from them.
''Onmyōdō Number 39: Crescent Moon Barrier!''

In a brilliant flash you see a yellowish light surround you, not unlike that of Negación.
Although from how it flickers in an unstable manner leads you to suggest it's still a bit rough around the edges, so they haven't fully mastered it yet. But it's still good to know that Yata is slowly giving them access to it.

However you don't have much time to take the sight in as your opponent is obviously agitated by all of this.
You see a glint in his eye and he charges you right off the bat like a savage animal.
His clawed hands reach for your face and more accurately your eyes.
But you simply draw your sword and block him with the side of your weapon.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iw5MUf3gFz4

''Move!''

''No.''

''MOVE!''

He pulls his hand back and hits your sword with all he has.
The shock is enough to push you back a bit but not too much.
Realizing his mistake he takes a step back and sweeps his leg across the ground in an attempt to trip you over.
However you counter this by kicking him back with enough force to send him flying after your little collision.

He gets back to his feet and lets out an ungodly screech and you see a strange hole opening at the nape of his neck and blood sputtering all over the place.
From this little snatch a ''tail'' that's easily longer than his body sprouts from it and he smashes the ground violently with it.

Screeching like a violent and feral animal you see blades erupting from both sides of his tail, effectively turning it into a whip like sword, he begins running toward you at full speed.
In preparation for his attack you raise up Basilisco again and block the incoming blade.
But what you don't see coming is his tail coiling around your sword, effectively making it unresponsive to your movements.

He screams again and prepares his fist.
''MOVE!''

Still holding onto your sword with your right hand you raise up your left one to your face just so you can mitigate the damage a bit.
With a loud crunching noise his fist gets driven into your face and you get separated from Basilisco as you get sent flying.
>>
Once you stop rolling around you place your hand on the ground for the initial support and spring up.
First you dust off your coat and wipe the blood off of your split lip afterwards.
As you do, you get to see him tossing your sword to the side and afterwards the blades coming from his tail retreat back where they came from and in their place spikes sprout from the end of his tail, turning it into a mace.

Seeing him throwing your weapon away like that ticked you off a little.
''You know... I was going to do this the easy way...
But you left me no choice.
Because nobody... endangers MY home!''

You grab the two lapels of your coat and turn your head until an audible crack can be heard coming from it.
In response to that the Guardian charges you again in a very straightforward manner to the point where his sequences become painfully predictable.

First a kick which you parry with your own, then a strike coming from the right which you block with your right arm, the sound of the impact can be likened to someone smashing solid concrete with a hammer.
Following that come to strikes from your left, one from his fist and the other from his tail.
His plan was no doubt trying to occupy your left hand so you can't block his tail but he telegraphed his movement way too much and you quickly changed from a mid to a high guard and flicked both strikes aside.

Now it's two strikes from your right, this time both are rapid jabs with his hand out of which only one hits but it has almost no effect.
Then he tries to knee you in the stomach but you stop it with your unoccupied left hand and then kick him straight in the chest and he is forced back.

Getting visibly angry he wants to attack again but finds you on the offensive instead.
After dodging both your straight punch and your left hook he kicks you three times and then turns around his own axis in order to smash his tail into you for good measure.
It didn't have much effect but it managed to finally piss you off.

Two strikes from the left.
He manages to block the first one but since it almost dislocated his arm he obviously had trouble with the second one and the sound of the impact had a lot of weight to it as your fist connected with his head.
He tries struggling a bit but you are not having any of that and instead kick his feet out from under him so hard that he begins turning, to the point where he is almost horizontal in the air, and punch him so hard that his body hits the barrier behind him and it lets out a loud, almost metallic noise.

He tries to get his bearings and attacks you again, only to find out that you're not even bothering with blocking anymore and instead decided to just take the hits while you keep pummeling him.
The Guardian just keeps hitting you about six times before you decide to reach forward, grab him by the throat and headbutt him so hard that a part of his mask gets destroyed.
>>
With his eye not being obstructed anymore you can see the pure, undiluted rage burning brightly in them.
As well as a couple other things, such as pain, misery and exhaustion
He must have dedicated his entire life to finding Ashido to the point where he became obsessed, no... dependent on him.
Right now he lost the only thing that gave his life meaning and couple that with little to no sleep and you get a pretty accurate image of his mental state. He was going to snap sooner or later. You're lucky it happened sooner.

You decided that it's time to finish this.

After a few steps you find yourself before him with your guard fully up.
You begin weaving from left to right to make it harder for him to guess where the attack is coming from.
To his credit he manages to dodge the first two strikes aimed at his head mostly by chance, however the third one is a direct hit and he gets dizzy.

Then comes the flurry.
Four hits to the gut, one in the side and one in the face again.
He can barely stand on his own two feet after that so you let your knuckles rest a bit before clenching them once more for the finishing blow.
One hit with all the strength you can muster, straight into his chest.

He hits the wall again but this time it cracks, shatters and breaks under the pressure.
His body lands with a loud crunch on the soft soil that soon stops him in his flight.
As the barrier around you fragments more and more you go up to your sword and pick it up.
After cleaning it nicely with a napkin you put it back on your belt and you make your way to the Exequias.

''Take him to the precinct and give him one of the better beds.
He'll need a rest after this.''

''W-What should we do with him if he wakes up Sir?''

''Nothing.
Just make sure he's in Isolation and he can't get out.
Make him sleep, even if by force.''

''Yessir!''
They hurry away nervously.

After the dust starts settling down Mila Rose, Sung-Sun and Uryu come to you.
''What in the hell was that?!
I've never seen the Exequias that nervous before!''
Rose speaks up.

''Did they not let you watch?''

''They didn't let ANYBODY watch!''

You let out a weary sigh.
''It was a Vasto.
Someone went Vasto and it got ugly.''

''You're kidding...''

''Nope.''
You turn your attention to Uryu.
''Sorry about this.
Sometimes accidents happen.''

''It was certainly unnerving.
Well... What happens now?''

''I'll let the two of you finish here.
Then...''

''I'd like to take both of you to one of the cities main attractions.
The Arena.''

''W-Why?
Wasn't this enough fighting for one day?''

''Yeah but you didn't really get to see it.
And this wasn't really something that I'd like to show off anyway.
It's a necessary evil of sorts, whereas the Arena is both educational and entertaining.''

''You bet!''
Mila Rose puts her arm around Uryus neck to tease him even further.
''I personally enjoy it quite a lot!
Heck, I sometimes even participate!''

''Of course you do, since you are a brute who is only fit for something as barbaric as a coliseum.
Guess we know why you're a lion now.''

''HEY! Shut your trap Sung-Sun!''

''But yeah. If I'd have to pick one thing to show any visitors it'd be the arena.
After all, could you have imagined just a few months ago that there is a place where hollows constantly fight each other but hardly anyone dies?''
You resume your speech.

''Hardly?''

''Accidents happen and there are blood matches where killing is allowed.
However both participants need to be willing for that.
Some things just don't tend to change.''

''I see...''

It took Chad a little more time until he was done with his tattoo.
Perhaps it was a very intricate design or Gantenbainne simply didn't do jack shit while you were busy handling the Guardian but it doesn't really matter.
At the very least Uryu seemed to enjoy himself while learning how to make clothes from the elderly hollow lady.

By the time Chad comes out you got a little sick of just waiting and doing nothing.
But when he did show up you got to see some very fancy inking on both of his shoulders.
In both cases the tattoos depict a bunch of skeletons but on his right one there is one that's obviously quite a lot bigger than the rest while the one on his left is very colorful and elaborate.

He looks down at you, expecting a reaction.
''Not bad. But I'm really not the guy to judge this.
Are you satisfied?''

''Mhmmm.
Gantenbainne is very skilled.''

''I'm glad you didn't immediately regret it.''

''Do I want to know what all the commotion was about?''

''No, not really.
But I hope you won't mind if I'll take you somewhere interesting...''

Bueno

After you gathered the boys up you lead them to the large, circular structure that's typically the center of attention in the entirety of Vanaheim.
But not today.
Today there are no events scheduled.
So it's extra surprising when you feel spiritual pressures coming from inside.

You can hear the Tres immediately complaining about this.
''Oh great... Him...''
Mila Rose spoke up.

''W-Who's that?!
This reiryoku is practically suffocating.''

''Ugh... he's the Grand Champion.
You can read that as, he's unbeatable and therefore makes every match boring AND he's a complete ass about it.
And his name is Nnoitora Gilga...''

''What's wrong Rose?
Jealous?''
You ask her.

''Pffft... no.''

''She's just mad because Gilga stomped the shit out of her that one time.''

''APACCI!''

But as they keep bickering amongst themselves you actually enter the building itself and you get to see quite an interesting sight.
Nnoitora can be seen in the middle, in his resurrected state with none other than Yoshi, the green haired bount, as his sparring partner.
The mantis tosses her aside with ease and then scoffs at her.

''Go and clean yourself up!
We got guests!''

As they look at Nnoitora with his six arms the kids swallow nervously.
''I don't know why but he freaks me out...''
Chad speaks up.

''Hey there Kaizar!
'Sup?''
Nnoitora greets you.

''Not much.
Got a few guests and thought I'd show the arena to them.
Didn't know you'd be here though. Or that you'd be actually training someone...''

''Yeah. Bitch kept begging me to help her.
And I thought ''why not''. It started to get annoying how I'm the only one who can put up a show nowadays.''

''Well it's good to know that you found a way to pass time at least.''
You turn back to the humans.
''But in any case. Uryu, Chad, this is Nnoitora Gilga the arena champion.
Nnoitora, I'd like you to show them something good!''

''Hehe...
Oh really?''
>>
Aaand that's a wrap for today.

I'll continue tomorrow and hopefully we'll get a bit bigger crowd

Bet money Yoshi gets moist every time she gets to fight him.

>>
>>1320879
Thanks for running!
>>
Man tomorrow gonna be gud, night spooky.
>>
The two boys behind you can't help but keep staring at Nnoitora.
His chiseled muscles and multiple arms clearly draw their attention.
Seeing this Spoony twirls two of his scythes around and then rests them on his shoulder to give the boys a better view.

''U-unreal...''
Uryu mutters himself.
''So he has four arms?!''

At this Nnoitora chuckles a bit.
''Heh. That's a funny one.''
He retracts the scythes in his right hands and extends the two of them to the boys.
''Anyway, welcome to Kaizars lil' freakshow.
I hope you enjoy your stay here and if anyone gives you any shit, you come to me a'ight?''

This time it's you who laughs a bit.
''Don't get carried away just yet.
They only came for a visit. They aren't staying here permanently.''

He shrugs at this.
''It wouldn't have been the first.
Like these bount fuckers.''

''I see you took a liking to this one.''

''More like managed to tolerate her.''
He pauses for a moment and looks at the humans.
''So... a demonstration, huh?
I'm down for it.
How do you want to do it?''

>Since Yoshi was here first it's only fair if you do it with her
>I could use a workout
>Chad, Uryu, get in there!
>Other? (write-in)
>>
>>1323576
>>Since Yoshi was here first it's only fair if you do it with her
Innuendo! Plus we just fought a Vasto. No need to hog ALL the fighting for ourself.
Like, seriously we have a must-do-everything-myself problem.

''I believe Yoshi would be the best choice.
It'd be rude if I intruded on her training.
And besides, I already had my fill of fighting.''

''Huh?!
Did I miss something?''

''Not really Nnoitora.
But I think you'd be interested to know that we got another Vasto Lorde.''

''Seriously?!
That's such bullshit!''

''Jealous?''

''Fuck yeah I am!
Ugh...
Well no matter I guess.''
He turns his head to the Arena.
''HEY! YOSHI!
GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER ALREADY!''

''WHAT?!''
Her scream can be heard from where you're standing.

''JUST STOP DICKING AROUND!''
Following this Nnoitora took a high jump and landed right in the middle of the ring, sending a loud of dust flying around himself.

At this you can see Yoshi walking out, downing an entire bottle of water.
''So what is it this time?!''

''You're gonna like this!''
Spoony answers her.
''We got ourselves some audience!
Meaning no more bullshit training and an actual fight!''

Yoshi lets out a bit of a cold smile.
''Finally!''

While this is going on you take the boys to the best seats in the entire area.
At first they are a bit concerned but you reassure them that it's your personal row.
As they sit down alongside the Tres the boys start inquiring about Nnoitora and the fight in general.

''So... I assume you have a point to all this.''

''Of course Ishida.''

''But if all you want to do is flaunt your powers it's pointless.
We've already seen it...''

''Oh I doubt you've seen anything like this...''


Meanwhile Nnoitora and Yoshi don't say a word to one another.
After a few seconds of weighing her options Yoshi calls out her doll.

''Zeige Dich! Nieder!''
A hair pin flies out of her hair and begins to grow in size and change its shape, until she has a sword in one hand and a fan in the other with the two being connected by a long, iron chain.
''Happonjin!''
Following these words her fan begins to change and coil around her right arm while her all the energy that was previously in it is channeled into the sword and it begins to glow.

Apparently her doll is actually two sentient weapons that she can use simultaneously or she can make one of them shrivel up so she can focus all her energy into one of them.
These two forms have very different purposes as the fan is for the sole purpose of defense while the sword is for offense.
Sadly as good as that sounds there is a caveat.
Namely that she can't freely switch between the two forms as she has to return the two weapons to normal beforehand.
>>
>>1323712
Question: Did we ever bump into Yoshino? Is she around or did Jin vivisect her off camera?
I ask primarily because she could be instrumental in instituting some manner of Bount repopulation, or Bount/Hollow hybrids. Failing that if it's of interest to the rest of the Bounts maybe our friend Hao could set up some sort of fertility clinic.
Science, you see.
But it can't be a huge change to make them fertile, I mean Yoshino is just by happenstance, surely dragging their species away from a slow inevitable extinction can't be that hard.

Yoshi immediately charges her opponent and starts swinging her sword at Nnoitora while shooting out quite a few of her spectral blades.
As the swords fly at Nnoitora he begins to jerk his head aside whenever one gets close to him.
He also raises three of his scythes to bat the remaining weapons aside.
The boys just look at this in confusion.

''But this is not fair...
Even with her multiple weapons he still has four arms and he's stronger...
This fight is only possible because that man is letting her fight.''
Uryu observes.

You nod.
''You're right in that regard.
Those blades couldn't penetrate Nnoitoras skin even if they hit...
There is absolutely no need for him to dodge or block them and yet he does.
Because this is not a contest of strength but skill.
Now be quiet and watch.''

Nnoitora can be seen smiling while Yoshi keeps assaulting him from every direction.
Although he's in no danger of getting hit with only one arm to attack with he can't make much headway due to Yoshis superior speed and agility.
So he does the only logical thing and he opens up the carapace protecting his side.
The jaw of the humans drops as his third pair of arms are revealed.

''H-he has six?!''
You don't answer, just nod.

As the new pair of arms produce their own scythes Yoshi gets clear of the area and her spectral swords follow her.
She doesn't bother changing to her defensive form as it's quite useless against Nnoitoras curved blades that gan simply go around her shield.
Now Yoshi changes her approach as Nnoitora goes on the offensive, rather than shooting out all of her blades at once she lines them up one after another in order to increase the reach and strength of her strikes.

This approach of focusing all her strength into one blade that she can use to keep Nnoitora out of scythe reach serves her well.
As the strikes enclose on her from every conceivable direction she does her best do dodge, duck and weave around most strikes.
When she faces an attack that she can't outright avoid she parries with quick little jabs with Nieder.

However her effort might be admirable, it's futile.
There are just too many attacks for her to deal with.
Six scythes are just too much for her to deal with and one of the blades gets dangerously close to her neck.
However just an inch before the attack connects the scythe stops dead in its tracks.

Nnoitora lets out a mile wide smile.
''That's one point for me!''
>>
>>1323765
Actually.
The wiki states the Doll is analogous to a Shinigami's Zanpakuto.
What could this even mean for a hybrid? Sealing their hollow powers into a doll?
With hollows having generally higher spiritual energy would that basically just make any theoretical hybrids a more hardy breed of Bount that might not get murdered if the Doll went rogue?
>>
>>1323765
Yes. She was the first bount Kaizar met at Uryus place.
And yes, she's in Vanaheim.

But there are only two people who know about her ''quirk''.
And those are Karia and Ugaki.

Sadly, Karia is in no position to make any suggestions and Ugaki is busy working at the lab
>>
>>1323778
Pretty much yeah.

Should the doll go haywire the hollow could easily beat the ever loving shit out of it.
Or it doesn't go haywire at all. I don't know.
Bounts are weird

>>1323782
Thanks for responding.

Probably the craziest thing about them might be the theoretical increase in ability to suck souls. What with souls being a staple part of the... Well idk, it's all just repurposed reishi.
>Soul Society was never safe again. Buildings! Souls! Bitchass rank and file's Zanpakuto! Maybe Kido? All speculation of course but the possible food-levels are silly. Without even getting into the hollow powers working in tandem with the Dolls.

Although you can't really see Yoshis mouth you can tell she's smiling just by looking at her eyes.
''Ohhh... You're in for it now asshole!''
She speaks in a playful, almost cheeky tone.

She prances back to her original spot and Nnoitora does the same.
As she readies herself her doll reverts to its original form and then shifts to her defensive style.
Nnoitora gets visibly annoyed by this.

''The fuck's this shit?!
You know that's useless against me, right?
Or did I hit you so hard during training that you forgot?!''

Yoshi doesn't respond and instead unfolds her fan until it becomes a fully circular.
''I don't know.
Why don't you come and find out?''

''Upstart lil' bitch!''
Nnoitora spits and soon after begins charging Yoshi.

As soon as he gets close Yoshi raises her shield to block, however before the hit connects she folds her shield until it starts resembling a fan again and runs towards her opponent.
Nnoitora is so taken back by this that he is unable to properly react to Yoshis unexpected move and he finds Yoshi taking a swing at him with her club like fan.
The mantis' eyes bulge out as Yoshi drives the blunt, almost bat like, fan into him.

''That's one - one.''

Nnoitora looks down at her in shock.
''Y-you...''

''I had to get creative against a hardy ass like you!
Now get ready!''

Nnoitora grinds his teeth.
''Ooooooh you'll regret this.
Time to take off the training wheels bitch!''

Then Spoony closes his eyes and you start losing your shit.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3fAUJcZHWA

''Santa Teresa...''
He speaks in almost a whisper.
''Oración alta...''

The reiatsu around Nnoitora begins to condense around him until it can no longer be felt.
You can almost hear a faint buzzing sound as electric discharges can be seen appearing around him.
Letting out a chuckle he kicks off towards Yoshi at full speed.

Even though he didn't use Sonído he disappeared in a similar manner.
Straight black lines can be seen making their way to Yoshi in the fraction of a second and Nnoitora appears before her.
She looks mortified as she tries to make sense of what just happened as Santa Teresa is pressed against her neck.

Nnoitora removes the scythe blade from her neck and smiles.
''Don't you get cocky. Not with me!
Now... get cleaned up.
Your training starts tomorrow. After lunch.
Don't be late...''

The humans next to you appear to be completely lost.
''U-Uryu...
D-did you see his movements?''

''N-no.''

''Impressed yet?''

''Erm... I guess?
More impressed by that technique than anything else really.''
Uryu answers you.

''I enjoyed it.
It was interesting.''
Chad also replies to you.

''Oh that?
That's not a technique.
It's just a fancy word for him getting serious.''

''SERIOUSLY?!''
They both scream at the same time.

''Ugh...
I'd hate to fight that man...''
Chad resumes.

''Hah! I bet!
Even I hate that fucker.
But only because he developed most of his killing shit on me.
Any way, I hope that you'll make good use of what you saw here.
Just imagine him as your goal, it'll help with your motivation.''

''I'll... consider it.''
Uryu replies.

''So will I.''

''Good!''
You stand up and crack your knuckles.
''But I think that concludes our little tour.
Did you enjoy it?''

''Yes, very much.''
So says Uryu and Chad simply gives you a nod.

Following that the boys bid farewell to the Tres who took the chance of teasing them one last time.
You also patted Nnoitora on the back and congratulated both him and Yoshi and afterwards you opened up the gate back to Karakura Town.
It didn't take you too long to get there and you made sure that the boys wouldn't fall into the abyss by accident so nothing bad happened.

Out of courtesy you asked them if they need an escort or if they're fine with going home on their own but they chose not to accept the offer.
With a shrug you waited until they got out of eyesight before you turned back to opening the Garganta again only to hear a faint voice speaking up from the shadows.

''Oh how cute.
The big bad hollow took the boys on a free trip.
I hope there were no candy or any inconspicuous vans involved...''

That voice is familiar.
Incredibly odd, deep and disturbing but familiar.
You look up behind your shoulder and spot the owner of that very muscular voice and spot a black cat staring you down from a stone fence.

''Hello to you too Yoruichi.
I assume you didn't just happen to be in the neighborhood and decided to check on me...''

''You'd be right.
I heard that the Ishida and Sado boys disappeared and figured it was you.
So I tracked their reiatsu the second I felt it...
Because I have some business with you.''

*sigh*
''No rest for the wicked, huh?''

''I'm afraid not.
Now please, follow me.
We have much to discuss.''

Not feeling like arguing with the werecat you followed her to the Urahara shop.
After all, it's not every day that she requests an audience with you.

Upon entering the candy shop you are greeted to a rather strange sight.
Urahara and Tessai are already sitting at the table, as if they were expecting you.
What's even more telling is the four cups on the table filled with green tea.
Suffice to say you're a bit taken back by their hospitality.

''Ah Kaizar!
Please, please! Come in!
Have a seat!''

You sit down in confusion and Tessai begins offering you a drink.
''Please, feel free to drink.
I'll bring some new ones if you should run out.''

You stare down at the green liquid before you.
''T-thank you.''
After a few cautious sips of the hot tea you conclude that you still don't like the stuff but since it'd be rude to refuse it you'll just keep drinking it.
''Okay... what the hell is going on?
What's with the sudden... well, everything?!''

''All in due time Kaizar.''
Yoruichi answers your question as she waddles to the back room and transforms out of everyones sight.
The silence in the room is so palpable that you can hear the fabric sliding smoothly across Yoruichis skin from the next room.

She comes out in nothing but a corset and her underwear but seeing her actually bothering to dress up shocks you a bit.
What's more the second she sits down the two kids, Jinta and Ururu, begin bringing her frankly absurd amounts of food that she begins to chow down.

But before you could finally start asking questions Urahara starts speaking.
''Well then...
Since we're all here allow me to begin.
You're probably wondering why you're here...''

''Honestly my first question would have been about Yoruichis attire...
But do go on.''

Hearing this Lady Shihoin looks up from her food for just a second.
''Yeah... Some idiot didn't wash my clothes correctly so most of my stuff is ruined.''

''I DIDN'T KNOW!''
Tessai burst out in tears.

*sigh*
''As I was saying...
You're probably wondering why we called you here.
Reaching you is quite hard so unless it was important we wouldn't even bother...''

''I'm more than happy with the fact that you don't have access to Hueco Mundo.
No offense.''

''None taken.
Anyway, I think I'll just get to the point.
It wasn't actually us reaching out to you we're just the messenger so to say.''

''The... messenger?''

''What Kisuke's sayin' is that the Captain Commander wants to speak with you!''
Yoruichi takes a moment from her quite hearty meal to speak to you.

''The... Captain Commander?!''

''Yes Kaizar.''
Kisuke resumes.
''Apparently he has some business with you that involves Captain Ukitake of all people.
As you can imagine that's quite a serious matter.
Now... we can't really force you to do anything.
But as you can imagine it'd be... quite rude to ignore a formal request from him.''

You begin pondering.

Look at what you've done
>>
''Oh... Okay then.
So what do I do?
Just open a Garganta to the Head Captains office?''

Urahara smiles at that.
''Oh... please do.''

''Okay, not doing it!''

''Ah come on!''

You shake your head.
''Nope.
I don't like that look on your face.
Something tells me it's not healthy to do that.''

*sigh*
''Well, I tried.''

Yoruichi puts aside what's likely to be her 13th plate and lets out a sigh and pats her belly.
''Ohhhh yeah... That's the stuff.
Also... Don't worry about that Kaizar.
I didn't actually lied when I said I have business with you.
They also asked me to come along.''

''As insurance?''

''As escort.
And as an intermediary.
I might be an exile but I'm still technically a noble.
So I am the only one who they'd accept.''

''But... why do I need an escort?''

''Do you honestly believe they'd let you just waltz in to the heart of the Seireitei?
The first squad grounds are at the very center of Soul Society, a hollow entering there would be nothing short of sacrilege.
This is the only way they'll let you in...
Mind you, I'm just as pissed off at this as you are hence why I stuffed myself! To calm my nerves!''

''Come now Yoruichi-san, it's not that bad-''

''SHUT YOUR MOUTH URAHARA!
YOU KNOW HOW MUCH IT PISSES ME OFF!''

You try to step in and calm things down.
''Okay, okay...
No need to get hostile.
But I'm starting to suspect I'm not the sole reason for your violent tendencies Yoruichi...''

At this Tessai begins crying once more.
''Y-you have no idea.
Lady Shihoin is like a natural disaster...''

''Tessai.''
As Yoruichi spoke in a cold, dead tone Tessais blood almost completely froze in shock.
''I don't want to hear a word from you until you repay me for my clothes...
Got that?''

''Y-yes Ma'am!''

''Now then...
I'll need a couple of minutes to dress up.
Meanwhile Kisuke and Tessai will manage the opening of the portal for us.
You'll be notified when we depart Kaizar.''

And true to her word Yoruichi and the others began almost immediately tending to their respective duties.
Meanwhile you were stuck with Jinta and Ururu serving you tea as they desperately tried to avoid eye contact with you.
That is until Captain Wiggles popped out of your pocket and Ururu got enthralled by him.

''W-Wait...
How did you get here?''

''SQUEE!''

''Ah. That makes sense.''
>>
>>1324427
>That is until Captain Wiggles popped out of your pocket and Ururu got enthralled by him.

''SQUEE!''

>>1324523
Wew

Time to meet the OG of Genocide.

This is either going to go really good or really bad.

I'm popping popcorn either way.
>>
After waiting for about ten minutes Yoruichi finally pops out from upstairs.
But before you could ask her what in tarnation took her so long the answer becomes pretty obvious.
She's wearing what you'd expect an oriental noblewoman to wear.
A very regal looking kimono adorns her form with a lot of layers to it and a variety of accessories, half of which you aren't even able to identify.
And it looks like it limits her mobility a bit.

''Don't... say... a thing!''

''Looks good on you.
But I get why you're so mad right now.''

''No. You do not.
I feel like a mummy with all this fabric wrapped around me.
Lord, I can barely move around.''

''Did you wear such things often while in the Soul Society?''

''Not if I could help it.
Lucky for me since the leader of the Shihoin clan traditionally gets to become the Captain of the second divison and the Stealth Force I rarely if ever had to wear crap like this. Only on very important or ceremonial occasions.
It's fun once in a while but wearing this all the time?
I think I'd just hang myself with my silken waistband...''

''Well. You do you, Yoruichi.''

''Right...
I guess we should move.
Kisuke and Tessai are probably waiting for us.''

She then begins leading you to the ladder downstairs.

''Erm... Yoruichi-''

''Oh.
And one more thing.
Do as I say on the other side.
You don't want to mess this up.
And! Ignore EVERYONE that might show up.
We won't have any time fool around.''

''I... was going to ask how you're going to climb the ladder...''

''Oh...
That?''

Then she simply hopped forward and fell several dozen meters straight down and landed perfectly smoothly, using her reiatsu as a cushion.
Shrugging you simply grabbed the two sidebars and slid down on the ladder.
Once at the bottom you looked at Yoruichi and saw that her clothes didn't even get dirty.

''Impressive.''

''Thanks.''
>>
After that you walked up to Urahara and Tessai who have already constructed a gateway for you.

''It looks different from last time.''
You observe.

''Actually it's the same one.
But you're right in a sense.
Since we received official summons the Jigokuchō shall appear soon enough.
Also, we stripped the matter transformer since it's pointless now.''

''I'm sorry.
The Jigo-what?''

''Hell butterflies.''
Yoruichi answers.
''They serve as guides.
If you have one you don't have to pass through the Dangai.
That's why the portal looks a bit different.
Because you'll get to see what the Shinigami actually use for travel.''

True to Yoruichis word two butterflies fly out of the gate and make their way to her.
You also notice that they seem to be completely ignoring you.

''Here.
Come closer. They are bred to steer clear of your kind.
But if you enter with me we should have no problem.''

Following her guidelines you step through the portal as Urahara waves you off.
Unlike the last time when you appeared in a purple hellscape full of disgusting oozes and a massive, matter destroying contraption now you stand in a long and well lit hallway that looks remarkably similar to the Seireiteis buildings.

''This is much nicer isn't it?''

''Not my style but at least it's well lit.''

The walk through this temporal space was much shorter than the walk from Hueco Mundo to the living world or to the Soul Society is.
Surprisingly so.
But you don't have too much time to wonder about that as the exit is visible to you by the time you finish that train of thought.

Once you step out you see something you never would have even dreamed of.
The shinigami wearing the strange hoods all bow down before you, well before Yoruichi anyway.
Still it feels incredibly satisfying to you.

''Lady Shihoin!
It's an honor to have you here!''

''The honor is mine.
It feels good being back.
Is the Captain Commander expecting us?''

''Yes my Lady!
He even sent a carriage for you!''

''Oh how nice of him!''
She turns to you.
''Looks like we'll travel in style Kaizar.''
You don't answer her, mostly because you know that the reason you have this is either because Yoruichi is a noble or because they want to keep Your contact with the Seireitei to a minimum.

''Now then... we should-''
Yoruichi resumes but quickly stops and visibly starts panicking.
''Oh no...''
She turns qucikly to you.
''KAIZAR!
SOMEONE IS COMING! I NEED YOU TO STOP THEM!
BY ANY MEANS!''

Her expression worries you a bit but it doesn't manage to distract you from something odd.
As you look in the direction of the approaching reiatsu you hear a faint noise coming from the distance.
It almost sounds like someone screaming ''Nee-san''.

''Daga kotowaru!''
You speak up in the most horrendous German accent you can manage.

''W-What?!''

''You've told me: Don't interact with anyone.
And besides, my grandson told me enough about your so called ''Anime'' to know where this is going.
Enjoy spending time with your family Yoruichi!''

''Y-You... Bastard!''

But as Yoruichi began shouting at you the sound you've heard before got loud enough to hear it clearly.
The loud words can be heard from anywhere at the shrine as a small girl with a huge backpack is seen running towards you.
She keeps shouting Nee-san as she drops her backpack and jumps at Yoruichi.

''NEE-SAN!''

Yoruichi tries to dodge her but her very tight clothing restricts her movements to the point where she can't do anything.
Her little sister then wraps her arms around Yoruichi and starts hugging her while erupting in tears.

''NEE-SAN!
I'M SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU!''

But Yoruichi is having none of that and pries her sister away from herself.
''Damn it Yushiro!
Get the hell off of me!''

You look up at that.
''W-Wait...
Yushiro?''

''Yeah.
Shihoin Yushiro, my little brother.''

''THAT THING'S A GUY?!''

''Obviously...''
Then she turns her attention back to her brother.
''So... The hell are you doing here Yushiro?''

And the boys eyes just tear up and he begins bawling like a baby.
''I-I heard Nee-san is going to show up so I came here!
I just wanted to meet you and show you how much I've improved!
Because I missed you Nee-san!''

''Ugh...
You haven't changed a bit, have you Yushiro?
Still crying like a baby at all times.
Well, you've met me. Good for you.
Now, can you leave me alone? I have important matters to attend to!''

''H-huh?
B-but Nee-san, I also came to meet with the Head Captain.''

''WHAT?!''

''S-since you were coming the Commander requested Fathers assistance.
A-and since I'm the new heir to the clan he said that I should come in his stead!''

Yoruichi slaps her face at this.
''Ugh...
Greeeeeat...''
Then she turns around to you.
''As much as I hate this, it looks like he's coming with us...''

''No need to be upset Nee-san!
I'll go there on my own since it's unlikely that the soldiers could carry all the relics I brought!''

You look at Yoruichi after that.
''Relics? What relics?''

*sigh*
''I'll tell you on the way...
Now... get in there and let's get this over with!''
>>
>>1324903

Well he's adorable, if a bit of a crybaby.

I forget is he secretly a badass or is this just another pretty boy shota deal that Anime loves to throw out?

After entering your carriage and Yoruichi follows you inside she begins explaining things to you as the four shinigami start carrying you.

''Basically the Shihoin clan is one of the Four Noble Families.
You've actually met members of another of the great houses, namely the Kuchikis.''

''Really?
No wonder that Captain was so full of himself.''

''Byakuya boy?
You have no idea...''

''Let me guess.
Touchy subject?''

''A bit of a mess.
One I have no time to explain in detail.
So lets get back to my clan.
Basically the four houses exist for a reason...
Each of their progenitors were given a highly important task by none other than the Soul King himself.
That's the only reason why they are allowed to have so much power and influence.''

''And these relics...
They are your responsibility?''

''Yes. But they are no mere relics.
Each of these artifacts are divine in origin, said to have been handed to us directly by the Soul King.
They are all unique and have singular purposes.
Traditionally the head of the clan who is Jushiro right now has to carry them all on their person at all times, to ensure their safety.''

''What happens if he should lose one?''

''It never happened before.
But the punishment for losing any important item like that is death.''

''Even if they are noble?''

''Especially if they are noble.
If you ask me the nobles are allowed too much leeway as is, not punishing them for something so sever would be outrageous.''

''And... wouldn't it be easier to just store them somewhere?''

''In a world where people have access to magic?
It's not really possible.
Our solution is better.
Nobles are already under a lot of pressure since they are expected to inherit the Captain seats once they come of age.
So... the Shihoin clan decided to double down.
Give as much of the best training as possible to the heads of the clan so they can stop any would be thieves no problem.
And as much as I hate praising that snotty lil' shit, he got stronger. A lot.''

''So... You carried that bag around as well?''

She laughs at that.
''No.
I was the head only on Paper.
They wouldn't have given them to me until father retired.
But... That doesn't mean I didn't get my hands on them.''

''Doesn't that mean they'll execute you?''

''Technically... it's still in the Shihoin clans hands.
And I'll return them... someday.''

''Hmmm...
Interesting. You really are a ''cat burglar'' then.
Just one more thing before I finish.
What's the Kuchiki clans deal?''

''Oh it's pretty boring in comparison.
Important, but boring. Like them.
They record and preserve all of Soul Society's history.
That's all. Not as flashy as ours, as you can see.''

And just as she finished, your carriage stopped in its tracks.

''We're here...''
She says.
>>
>>1324961
Oh he is!
I believe he got almost manly at one point when fighting Askin of all people.
And to his credit he managed to put a dent on him.

But he's still a bitch and a BIG crybaby
>>
>>1324961
I don't believe it was ever expounded on in the manga, but he is the clan's heir which is traditionally Captain of the assassin squad.
So, you know, if not he's working on it.
>>
>>1324978
He has a fire shunko.
So he IS dangerous.

And he has access to all the shihoin gadgets too but he never used them
>>
>>1324986
I see, well my estimation of him was wildly off the mark then.
fuckin' assassins

Upon leaving the blasted thing you're treated to the building which serves as the Captain Commanders personal chambers.
And you also see Yoruichis little brother just standing before the door with his massive pack.
As Yoruichi takes her time getting out of the blasted carriage you have time to notice Yushiro staring at you.

You look to your left and your right, then you point to yourself.
''I'm sorry, is there something on my face?''

''Y-your head.''

''Huh?''

''Those things on your temples.''

You touch your gills as realization comes to you.
''Oh.. these.''

''They look cute!
Where can I get one?''

''Oh... Ooooooh.
Well... erm... I guess I made them myself...
So you probably can't get one anywhere.''

''Awww...
I see.''

After that awkward exchange Yoruichi finally managed to waddle out without accidentally ripping her dress apart.
''Finally!
Okay. Are you guys ready?''
You nod and so does Yushiro.
''Very well. Let's go then.''

And that's where I'll have to end this.

Man, surgery where if we fail we get barbecued out of existance, sounds like a good time. Thanks for the run Spooky, looking forward to the next thread.
>>
So... as you may have already suspected it, the following threads will be a bit hectic.

But! Not only because of the meeting with the walking genocide himself and the surgery on which more than one lives will hang, oh no.

Yoruichi pretty much gave a quick rundown of 2 out of the 4 great noble houses.
Since in canon fuck all was said about the remaining two we have a lot of leverage.
I have 1 of them already worked out, I just need a cool name for them now.
However!

The 4th great house, their name, their job and pretty much everything else will be decided by You!

So, yeah. Feel free to brainstorm and pick your favorites about the new ideas.
You can pick the name of both clans and the active job of the 4th one!

This will then carry onto the game!


>On an unrelated note:
I also decided about the topic of the new omakes.
Since there are quite a few characters who didn't get enough love, I'll focus on some of them.

Right now my choices are:
>Renji
>Esca and Amas

I'm willing to do 3 omakes over all and if you have a good idea for the third guy, or if you want to replace someone then feel free to say so
>>
>>1328513
An omake on Ashido Kano and how he's readjusting to SS would be cool
>>
>>1328513
Esca and amas

Fourth clan tasked with keeping secrets that must be burdened. Close ties to fourth division due to providing some measure of psychiatric aid by allowing them to say what ails them freely. Probably mostly used to assuage the guilt of purging the citizenry.
May or may not specialize in magic that can cause people to forget things if they wish to, to solidify the 'transfer' of the secret and further relieve the teller.

Just an idea, id much rather see what others come up with
>>
>>1328549
Magic, huh?

Maybe ties to the Kido Corps?
>>
>>1328564
Also valid
>>
Also, I forgot to meantion this...

Since all 3 houses that we know, Shiba, Shihoin and Kuchiki all got a task directly from to Soul King and tying them to him in some way the one you come up with HAS to have some tie to the big man as well.

Even if it's abstract, like the Kuchikis
>>
Hm. Hows about...

The Raigo Family, a collection of wealthy geniuses who maintain and build all the structures of the inner districts of the seireitei, it was they who, at the behest of the soul king, built the giant indestructible walls that guard his domain and fall from the sky to protect the thirteen court guard. They don't typically go into the rest of the shinigami, but they hold the secrets of manipulating pure reishi into form. Which they use to create the buildings of the soul society from essentially thin air.
>>
>>1328607
I'm gonna huck a vote in support of this, because it makes a lot of sense. Those big-ass walls that just straight drop from the sky were never really explained beyond 'Well it's just there'.
>>
>>1328657
I mean, to be fair they at least explained WHY they fell from the fuckin sky in the first place, but yeah.
>>
>>1328607
I'll also throw my support into this one even though I tend to catch threads after the fact.

It'd also be kinda neat to see them going into combat manipulating reishi like a not!Green Lantern.
>>
>>1328607
I'll throw my vote behind this since I'm too tired and uncreative to make my own and it's a good name and interesting ability the family has. I like it.
>>
>>1328607
I like it!
>>
>>1328607
Okay, I came back to check on things and this is pretty dope.

Since there aren't any complaints this shall be treated as canon from now on


And I just love the fact that with this we now have answered one of the plotholes as an added bonus

Omake #1: The struggle of the twin beast.

It's rather late in the Soul Society.
With the sun slowly setting over the horizon the remaining shinigami of the Sixth Squad slowly start making their way back to the barracks and out from the training grounds. All except one.

''One... Two... Three!''

Abarai Renji, lieutenant of the division, yet remains.
Ever since his unfortunate series of defeats both at the hands of the ryoka and the hollows he has been rather agitated.
Thoughts of doubt started appearing in his mind and unfortunately he only knows one remedy for such ailments, pain.

''DAMN IT!''
He curses as his sword retracts yet again.

For hours, nay days, he has been trying to extend the limit of Zabimarus swing even if by only one.
Sadly it appears at first glance that he didn't even make any progress.
Granted, progress is hard to observe when talking about increasing a single digit number.
However his cries were not in vain as one of his subordinates noticed his desperate pleading.
This shinigami is small and insignificant, a mere 20th seat, and yet he decided to try and help his lieutenant.

''Erm... excuse me Abarai-san...
Are you sure this is a good idea?
You've been here for days.
We all know you're a strong man but even you need some rest.''

''Shit!''
Renji brings up Zabimaru close to his face, completely ignoring his comrade.
''Why? Why aren't you responding?!''

''H-huh?!''
The shinigami gasps in shock.

''Oh?
OH! Sorry!
I... didn't realize you were here.''

''Y-you were talking to your Zanpakuto just now?''

''Yeah.''
Renji tightens his grip on the handle.
''I... just... *sigh*
Sorry. I was rambling a bit there.
This isn't your problem, so please, go and rest.
And don't worry about me. I'll just do a few more reps and then I promise I'll stop.''

''Thank you Lieutenant.
Your wellbeing is all of our concern.
Please, take it easy.''

''Thanks.
Will do.''
After the shinigami left the scene Renji began scoffing.
''Yeah... as if.''

He began swinging Zabimaru once more in his fury.
Each time he reached the third strike he felt like his heart was about to skip a beat but the awaited breakthrough didn't happen.
By the time he realized that he should probably take a breather the full moon was shining brightly on the night sky.

''DAMN IT!''

''Be mindful of your voice.
Others are trying to sleep...''

''HUH?!
C-c-captain Kuchiki!
You're here? Since when?''

''For a while now.
I felt it to be the best course of action to leave you be.
Given how rare it is for you to focus this much...''
Renji doesn't speak a word at this but stares at the weapon in his hand diligently.
''An admirable effort, trying to increase your number of attacks before you have to pull it back.
However it's useless. It's fairly obvious that it's not Zabimaru who has the problem here...''

''C-Captain!
The hell are you sayin'?!
That it's my fault?''
>>
File: Ep198ByakuyaKuchiki.png (76 KB, 250x173)

''Exactly.
It's not Zabimarus inability that you can't use it more than thrice.
Your control of his movements is just that bad.
It's one thing to know how to swing your sword effectively. It's something else entirely to use it properly.
Up until now you've managed to get by with basic instinct... However that greatly limited your development.''

''So...
Are you saying that I should just give up?!''

Byakuya closes his eyes and pauses for a moment.
''Fool.
I'm telling you that in order to increase the number of your attacks first you must master what you already have.''

''Huh?!''

Byakuya pauses again, this time for far longer than before.
Then he makes the decision and uses Shunpo to get closer to Renji.
''Here, I'll help you.''

Following that Byakuya took some time to guide Renji since it became clear to him that letting him try and figure things out was not going to work.
He carefully analyzed his movements and shared some of his insights.

''Renji...
I want you to swing Zabimaru without extending it.
And halfway through the swing change the direction of the cut sharply.''

Renji did as he was told.
''Like this Captain?''

''Yes.
Now keep doing it.''

Not complaining Abarai kept repeating the same motions over and over again.
He chained downward swings to upward slashes.
At first it wasn't too bad but after a few dozen of those he started to sweat.
After he tired himself out he began to realize what his Captain was trying to tell him.

''I-I see...
So you're saying that I was tiring Zabimaru out?''

Byakuya nods.
''Your ability to fight with such an unusual weapon is remarkable.
But still, it's nothing more than instinctual.
You only know how to swing your weapon, you're no master of it.
The truth of the matter is that your fighting style is remarkably similar to that Substitute Shinigami, all instinct.
Your first action in an engagement is to tackle the enemy head on and keep wailing on them until you win.
While this might work against a regular hollow it's not enough against a stronger opponent.''

''So... what you're saying is...''

''If you conserve your energy and take time in between attacks to build up your momentum then Zabimaru won't retract on his own.''


Renji looks at his sword in mild bewilderment and puts his Captains theory to the test.
He starts swinging Zabimaru above his head in a circular manner, like one would a lasso.
Once he built up enough momentum he takes his first swing and hits the training dummy head on but unlike before where he'd simply pull it upwards straight away his movements are more flowing and arcing then before.
As Zabimaru curves it lashes at the ground and tears it up as it curves back.
>>
Now Renji took the second swing and already he's seeing a lot of differences.
Before the movements were very rigid despite his weapons unique nature but now his attacks flow into one another with liquid precision.
The attack not only doesn't lose any strength but it hits even harder than before.
Again he pulls back his Zanpakuto and delivers the third swing that outright destroys his target and hits the wall behind it.
With a grin he sees that Zabimaru didn't deactivate instantly and he lashes out one final time.

Immensely satisfied he jumps up in the air and lets out a huge cheer.
''YEEEEEEEAH! I FRIKKIN' DID IT!''
He lands on his feet and gets on his knees and slams his forehead into the ground.
''CAPTAIN! MY SINCEREST GRATITUDE!''

''Hmph.
Don't mention it.
Now come... I believe that's enough training for one day.''

A bit confused Renji stands up and follows his Captain as ordered.
Byakuya then leads him back to the captains quarters and orders him to sit down.
Shortly afterwards he brings out some tea for both of them.

''Please, drink Lieutenant.''

''T-thank you...''
After he takes a sip of the hot green tea they just sit there in awkward silence.
Soon enough Renji has enough of this and speaks up despite enjoying the tea very much.

''Say... erm... Captain.
I don't mean any disrespect but...
Why did you help me? In fact, why did you invite me here?''

Byakuya sighs and puts his cup down.
''You see... I've been thinking.
Despite being captain and lieutenant our relationship doesn't really reflect that...
And given how things are going I think it's about time we fix that.
And... as much as I hate this, I think we can be considered kindred spirits now.''

''I'm... not following captain.''

''Don't assume that I don't know why you wanted to become my lieutenant in the first place.''

*gulp*

''To say that you don't really belong in this division is an understatement.
You're brash, impulsive and have a bad tendency to break rules.
And yet you begged to be assigned here and worked your way up until you became my direct subordinate...
All for the sake of Rukia.''

Renji swallows even harder now.

''Ever since she was adopted to my family you've been trying to beat me in any way you could.
But now...
And now... she's out of both of our reach.''

''W-Wow captain...
I... didn't realize you'd feel this way about her.''

''Say what you will Renji.
I've made my decisions and I'm sticking by them.''
Byakuya then raises his cup.
''Now then...
Since the reason for your behavior and mine is gone...
How about a truce? We'll wipe the slate clean and begin anew.
In exchange I'll help you reach those heights you aspire to.
Deal?''

Renji hesitates for a solid minute.
But eventually he raises his cup and toasts with his Captain.
''Deal.''

Dismissed.''

Omake #2: Taming the Beast

A shinigami in a white coat is walking through the 5th division grounds with a frankly huge stack of papers in his hands.
After walking through the barracks and attracting the attentions of EVERYONE he tries balancing the papers in one hand while carefully sliding a door open with the other.

He steps through to the office of Lieutenant Hinamori and greets her.
''Lieutenant...
I've brought the papers.''

Ashido then walks up to Momos desk and puts down all the papers.
He doesn't reply to Hinamori at first but instead changes the topic.

''Thank you once again for helping me with the paperworks...''

''N-no need to thank me Captain, it's my job after all.''

''I... see.''
He pulls a spare chair next to the table and looks at his lieutenant as she works.
''You're very good at this.''

''H-heh.
You see... I had to do all the paperworks while we didn't have a captain.
So I'm used to it.''

Hinamori tries desperately to avoid eye contact with her new captain.
Truth be told she, alongside everyone else, got quite terrified of him after his inauguration.
After being promoted to the rank of Captain from nowhere he was introduced to his new division by Captain Kyoraku himself.
At first people were annoyed how a nobody became their boss but they quickly changed their attitudes.

The reason for that were the questions the division members asked from Ashido after Kyoraku was done with the introductions.
Firstly they asked why in the blazes does their new captain wear hollow masks over his Haori as shoulder guards.
The second was why is a no-name like him their captain now.
They received only one answer but it left quite an impression.

For Ashido is not too good with words and instead likes to speak with his actions.
He simply walked to the center of the training grounds and delivered the Hakuda technique Ikkotsu to the ground, causing everyone to be tossed in the air briefly, except Kyoraku of course, and the ground to shatter.
It also didn't help his reputation that every time someone or something startles him his first reaction is drawing his sword.
Luckily no accidents have happened, yet.

So it's understandable why Momo is so nervous around him.
After all since the Captain has such a ragged look and doesn't speak too much he can be a bit scary.

''What... is that word?''
Ashido asks.

''H-huh?''

''T-that word...''
He points at one of the kanji on the paper.
''What does that character mean?''

Momo stares at him in her confusion but answers as soon as she snaps out of it.
''That is... the character for food.
This is a paper for requisitions...''
She looks back at the captain.
''A-Ashido-san... Y-you can't read?''

Ashido averts his gaze in shame.
''I... forgot.''

The realization suddenly dawns of Momo.
That the Captain didn't request her help because he's lazy but because he's incapable of doing his own job.
''I-if you'd like I could teach you...
Perhaps...''

''T-thank you Lieutenant.''

Omake #3: Yin and Yang

Esca and Amas, the duality, the traitors.
Only some of the names they were given over the years and the only relevant ones.
Since the death of Aizen and the failure of the rebellion against Kaizar Soize they've had it rough.
Many people look at the loyalists with a certain disdain even today and they are under constant surveillance by the Exequias, one wrong move and they are done for.
However these are trivial matters compared to the one that Esca, the male, has in his personal life.

That day when they were defeated the Exequias gave them an offer: Bend the knee or be gone for ever.
And Amas has been fuming with rage ever since.

''IT'S NOT FAIR!''
She always says.
''THEY GAVE US A NON-CHOICE!''

And she's right.
Either they returned to the wastes to live like savages or remained in the city where they are shunned and constantly watched, living in fear of what might happen to them should the authorities got bored of watching them.
But what's worse is that as time passed and her anger built up she always lashed out at her lover harder and harder.
She was always temperamental, impulsive, emotional. And now it's getting out of hand.

But... as right as she may be Esca has noticed things.
As time slowly passed he saw the people around them distancing themselves from the loyalists less and less and even the Exequias started giving them a much wider berth.
At first he was also very angry about the state of affairs but now that things are beginning to normalize and their privacy slowly returning the only thing that truly troubles him is the shame he feels every time he walks out in the open with his bruises.

And now what Esca feared has come to pass.
Amas has finally been pushed past the breaking point, her anger clouded her mind and made her even more volatile.
Everything that she sees has become an irritant, a cruel reminder that they are outcasts.
She has reached the point where her rage has become a self sustaining machine that runs on suffering and pain.

''I'VE HAD IT!
I DON'T CARE ANYMORE!''
She screams as she throws another plate against the wall.
Esca then slowly walks to the wall and starts picking up the scattered shards of ceramic.
Then Amas walks up to him and slaps the shards out of his hands.
''ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?!''

''Y-yes my love...''

''THEN START PACKING!
WE'RE LEAVING!''

Slowly he stands up, barely realizing what she just said Esca moves into the living room and starts packing things.
Once the baggage is full of mostly the clothes of Amas he comes out of the room only to find his lover tapping her feet against the ground in an annoyed manner.

''Took you long enough!''
She turns around and opens the front door.
''Let's go!''

''Y-yes my love...''

Amas wastes little time as she storms the gates.
The Exequias try to inquire about where they are going once there but she quickly tells them to go fuck themselves and opens the door, stating that ''we've had enough of your shit!''
They trek through the wastelands with little clue about where they are headed.
But Esca keeps following his love in silence.

They eventually find themselves at a small cave and decide to set up camp in there.
Shortly after finding a sufficiently large rock Amas lays down on it.
''I'll go and get some sleep, you should do the same.
Tomorrow will mark a new beginning for us!
Away from those pompous assholes! And finally... finally there'll be only the two of us once more.''

It takes a while for Amas to fall asleep but eventually she manages to do so.
Meanwhile Esca is struggling to find a comfortable sleeping position on a bunch of rocks so instead he stands up and walks to the caves entrance.
He sighs and looks at the empty, ever stretching desert before him with Vanaheim just barely visible on the Horizon.
Weighing his options he looks back at Amas and sighs.
After thinking for what seemed like an hour he finally made his decision and started walking.

For a few hours all he did was walk and he started thinking about what exactly went wrong in his life.
And he couldn't figure it out, no matter how much he tried.
Eventually however he did reach the walls once more and so his train of thought was derailed.

Meanwhile: At the top of the wall.

''So... bro...''

*sigh*
''What Brasi?''

''If you could fuck anyone in Vanaheim, without anyone ever hearing about it...
Who would it be?''

''That's easy, Aimee Morris.''

''Literally who?''

''Bitch with teeth like a chainsaw.''

''Oh... that.
But why?''

''Have you seen her?
She has thighs that can crush a mans skull.
And even if my hips break I could just go and get a replacement from the doctor.
Okay... Your turn.''

''Luppi Antenor.
I'd fuck that lil' slender pussy of hers until her eyeballs roll back permanently into her skull!''

''B-but... he's a dude.''

''R-really?
Ah fuck it, I'd still hit it.
Hmmm?''
In this instance Brasi notices someone approaching the gate.
''Oh shit...''

''Hah!
Remember, it's your turn now.''

''Yeah. I know.
Go eat a bag of dicks why won't you?''
>>
After that little exchange Brasi jumped down to greet Esca.

''Well what have we here?''
He sizes up the arrancar before him and then he looks up at the wall.
''HEY! YOU LITERAL FAGGOTS!''

At that dozens of Rudbornnes clones appear from seemingly nowhere.

''When I snap my fingers, all of y'all are gonna draw your swords! Got it?''
He then gives the signal and all the clones draw their blades.
Then he turns his attention back to Esca.
''You have five seconds to give me a good reason not to order these boys to keep shoving swords up your ass until you'll be able to arouse every hedgehog in a five mile radius!''

''I... want back in.''

''....
EXCUSE ME!
EX-FUCKING-SCUSE ME!
AFTER THAT LITTLE STUNT OF YOURS YOU THINK YOU'RE GONNA ENTER THIS PLACE IN ANYTHING OTHER THAN A BODYBAG?!
OHHHHH BOY, I'LL-''

But before he could go on any longer his brother appears before him and grabs his arm in a forceful manner.
''Brasi...
Need I remind you of our job?''
He turns his attention to Esca.
''I'm sorry about that.
I'll take you to the chief...''

''T-thank you.''

Then Luca turns back to his brother.
''I swear if I wasn't your brother I'd slap the shit out of you right now...''

Aferwards Luca proceeded to take Esca back to HQ, where Alistair awaited him.

''Greetings. Please, sit down.''
He said to the arrancar.

''S-sir... I'd like to come back to the city.''

''Yes, I've heard.
Officer Luca already sent the reports.''

''S-sir, I swear I'll do anythin-''

''You're in.'

''Huh?!''

''As far as I'm concerned you haven't broken any laws.
Everyone is free to leave. But...
Concerning your situation and the fact that you made quite an impression with your exit I'll have to keep you on a tight leash for a while.
AND! This is the only chance you'll get.
One more stunt and you're out for good. Understood?''

''Y-yes sir! Thank you Sir!''

''Good.
Welcome back.
And lad... if ye'r willing to listen to my advice...
Get yourself checked at the doctor, buy yourself some good food and get some rest.
You look like you need it...''
