Wouldn't a Heilig Pfiel also be rather flashy?

If they feel Yoruichi's opinion may be too biased, and they need other end of the spectrum, they're free to approach Captain Unohana.

>>43871229
now that would be an interesting coincidence

>>43871193
Yeah, still not buying it. It's too convenient.

Aizen's still kicking, guarantee it.

>>43871246
then let's buy into the idea that Aizen's dead for now. but secretly be on guard for when he makes his grand keikaku reveal.

>>43871246
well yes.but we can't prove it and don't know what he's doing, so it's best to play along for now. and it's a good idea to disprove the accusations so we don't get put on trial right now

You glance at Lieutenants Kano and Sasakibe, who have been almost completely silent through the whole affair so far. You can tell by Chōjirō's expression that the suggestion that one of the current generations of Captains was a quincy in her past life has unsettled him, but he doesn't seem to look at you with any malice. In fact both men seem to be awaiting an explanation on your part, which only serves to drive home the realization that you need to address Hinamori's declarations rather than continue ignoring them.

Though it seems like chickenshit to you, normal people may consider it of vital importance.

“The records of who I was an how I died are publicly available,” you announce, glancing around at the Lieutenants as they seem to listen intently. “My name was Rosa Rosette, and I was a Sternritter. But before you rush to judgment, consider a few points: the first of which is that other Captains have known for centuries. Captain Unohana and Executive Commander Shihōin recognized me before I even officially joined the Onmitsukidō, they just don't talk about it. And since Unohana knows, you can be sure that the Head Captain has been informed even if he couldn't tell that I still instinctively use quincy techniques like blut and hirenkyaku. And yet, I was promoted to Captain in spite of this.”

“More importantly,” you continue, “Lady Yoruichi was the one who ended my life in the first place... and now she's my dearest friend. I hold no grudges from when I was a different person.”

“But you and Captain Aizen...” Hinamori protests, only for you to cut her off.

“Had an old disagreement. But I wouldn't take any action against him without a reason and evidence to back it up,” you point out. “I was Onmitsukidō for ninety years. I wouldn't act on a personal dispute, and I wouldn't leave incriminating evidence behind.”

whelp, that's a thing

>>43871193
There's also the fact we can't use a Heilig Pfiel anymore. We can't gather free flowing spirit particles anymore. Haven't been able to do that since we died.

>>43871515
we should probably mention this

>>43871475
Hinamori just got BTFO

It will be interesting to see how the other captains who didn't know react, especially those who would have been around for the war

Well, the source of disagreement between Aizen and Riku could likely be traced back to WW1.

If people don't know the true source.

Riku would be very annoyed by how incompetent he managed his division on the Western Front. He suffered route level casualties. 9th division fought longer, even fought a Vasto Lord and suffered a much lower casualty rate, with many of them still returning to serve again.

Since then both have been antagonizing each other.

>>43871450
>>43871475
You can tell from her expression that Hinamori still refuses to believe you, even if she won't say it. In her mind you've already been judged and sentenced, and nothing you say will change her mind. She held Aizen and his word too highly to admit the possibility that he's led her astray. It's also apparent that the fact that your words seem to be convincing her fellow Lieutenants has isolated her from them: particularly Rangiku, who she no doubt sees as “your” Lieutenant. Her guilt is one of simple association.

She will try to take things into her own hands at this rate, you realize. It's only a matter of how and when.

“What's going on here?” a new voice demands.

You turn to see Captain Hitsugaya, whose eyes widen at the grisly scene of Aizen's death.

“Captain,” you nod sternly. “As you can see there's been an... incident.”

“That's an understatement,” Hitsugaya retorts, his eyes lingering on Aizen. “Was he found this way?”

“After the meeting, sir,” Ashido explains. “We were on our way out. It must have happened overnight.”

“Why hasn't he been properly seen to?” the young Captain demands.

“Lieutenant Kotetsu is bringing a detail from Fourth, and Iba is bringing my specialists,” you tell Hitsugaya. “I'll have them treat it as a primary crime scene, but given Lieutenant Hinamori's earlier outburst I don't know how much we'll learn.”

>Have Hitsugaya take Hinamori back to Third Division headquarters.
>Have Rangiku place Hinamori under arrest. She's attacked a Captain, that's a serious offense.
>Have Hitsugaya deal with the punishments. You don't have time for this.

Hitsugaya finally turns to face you, his expression stern but otherwise unreadable. “Captain Kusajishi, I thank you for your restraint. It's saved me a lot of trouble.”

“Oh?” you ask, cocking an eyebrow. It's honestly a little hard to figure out what this kid's thinking some times. Too bad he didn't pick up Isshin's more relaxed attitude, then maybe he'd be more fun to be around. Less effective at his job perhaps, but interesting.

“Yes,” he nods. “If you'd hurt Lieutenant Hinamori, I'd have had to kill you.”

Ah, you'd figured there was something there. Rangiku frowns, and seems like she's about to tell Captain Hitsugaya off for speaking to you like that, but you motion for her to stop. Grudgingly, she obeys.

“You should keep an eye on her yourself, then. In her current state, there's no telling what she may try to do,” you tell the young Captain.

Hitsugaya's expression darkens into a scowl. “Thanks for the advice, Captain.”

“That's honest advice, Hitsugaya,” you insist. “There's nothing sinister to it, I just don't want her in my hair during the investigation. She's already ruined one crime scene.”

“... I'll keep that in mind,” he replies, his expression seeming to soften as he realizes that your priorities are in figuring out the situation, and not in punishing his friend.

Hinamori seems distraught again as Hitsugaya begins to lead her away from the crime scene. “Shiro, that woman killed him...”

“Even if I believed that,” Hitsugaya interrupts, “there's no evidence for it. You've attacked a Captain for personal reasons Momo. I'm surprised she hasn't already had you arrested.”

“I'll let Ichimaru sort you out. Let's go.”

Hinamori tries to protest, but Hitsugaya grips her arm tightly and stares her dead in the eye.

“That's an order, Lieutenant.”

There isn't much more you can do here. The Lieutenants each seem to be heading off on their own, and you can feel small spiritual powers racing towards the scene of Aizen's death. They're almost certainly the teams you requested earlier.

“Rangiku, please handle the situation here,” you tell your Lieutenant. “I'll be dealing with something before the inevitable emergency meeting.”

Clearly understanding your meaning, Rangiku nods quietly. You take off before even more Captains and various shinigami arrive, seeking out Yoruichi's spiritual pressure. She's making an active attempt to hide herself, so it's a little more difficult than it would be otherwise.

"You feel something, Kai?" Mirai asks, looking around her.

Kai scratches his head. "Thought I did. Feels almost like someone's tryin' to be sneaky an' failin', don't it?"

"That was the feeling I got, yes," Mirai agrees. "In all likelihood, it would be an invader... perhaps two."

"They're close?" Kai mutters to himself. "Didn't think we'd find 'em so quick. You wanna divert an' take a look?"

"Patrol action is so boring," Mirai admits. "So why not? Perhaps it actually is them..."

>>43872248
To be fair to Tosen he has some very troublesome abilities for opponents who are straight up fighters. Our other abilities would negate alot of his advantages (y'know other than us being way more powerful than him) but to another captain it might be difficult. That said I feel he is perceived as a jobber but it was just a bad matchup that he ran afoul of captain murderface. In-fact given how bullshit op Kenny is in the series its kinda crazy how ichigo beat him, even if this was before kenny got even more op.

>>43872348
Please, please let this be the sniper fight I have been looking forward too.

Sorry but who is Kai and Mirai? Random mooks? God dammit its been so long since I've watched Bleach I keep having to search up who people are.

>>43872365

Kenpachi just tanked him, and Tousen did not go for the sure kill.

Bakuya would smoke him with his ability to flood the zone with blades.

OMG would do the same, just burniate everything.

Riku, Suì-Fēng and Yoruchi would laugh at his attempt and then just shunpo out of his bankai zone.

His Bankai really sounds interesting but is too limiting.

>>43872439
Two of our commandos. Both are OC's to my knowledge.

>>43872439
They're OC's for this story, members of our commando squad, kai is the dude with the rifle/shield, mirai is the sickly girl with the huge fuckin mace that can hurt gods.

>>43872478
Oh right! Now I remember who they are. Sorry bout that.

>>43872444
It defintely is limited but still useful against straight up melee bruisers. Not useful enough with Kenpachi hahaha. I get what your saying though, its very specific and limited in its usefulness.

>>43872444
in regards to his ban kai, can you even just get out of range, I assumed it was like a room or something with walls.

>>43872500

It really would have been much better for him to use it in ways similar to an assassin, go in and get people quickly killed. He used it once and never again, he went stupid form in the final fight.

>>43872514

Not sure, but it seems to be something you just get out off when he starts his bankai.

>>43872491
I'm glad you asked as well, half the time I have to look up the names on google just to remember who is who and every time an OC comes up I'm just fucked.

After a few minutes you manage to track Yoruichi down, finding her seated quietly on a rooftop near the Onmitsukidō headquarters grooming herself.

“That never looks less weird,” you comment, watching as she lowers her leg.

She stares at you calmly. “Why is it an issue? I'm a cat, Riku. Cats do this all the time.”

“Yeah, but you're not a real cat.”

Yoruichi pins her ears back at you playfully. “I don't like what you're implying.”

“Aizen is dead,” you tell her.

She sighs heavily, staring out at the Sōkyoku hill. “That certainly complicates things. Are you sure it was him?”

“I saw no evidence that it wasn't,” you admit, “but I'm waiting to hear from Unohana. Until then we need to proceed like either case could be true. An incorrect assumption here could be fatal.”

“I'll fetch our special package from Gin Tonbo out of my quarters,” Yoruichi tells you, standing and brushing against your leg. “We may need it soon.”

“Agreed,” you nod. “I'll deal with the other Captains for now.”

After Yoruichi leaves for her quarters, a black cat dashing across the rooftops at blinding speeds, Rangiku calls you on your pager. You press the earpiece, waiting for her to explain what else has gone wrong so far this morning.

“There's a Captain's meeting,” she reports, confirming your suspicions. “You called it, mom.”

At the same time, however, you get the feeling that two of your Commandos have hidden their reiatsu... they may be onto something at this very moment. You can't be sure with how many false alarms there have been in the last twenty-four hours or so.

Of course it happens NOW though, of all times.

“You alive over there, Kai?” Mirai asks aloud, sitting up suddenly from where she's been laying.

Kai doesn't even bother. “I was enjoyin' that. But yeah, I'm fine when you are.”

“We have to take these two more seriously,” the sickly-looking girl replies. “I was hoping we would not have to resort to kidō to hide, but that Ishida boy has better senses than we gave him credit for.”

“Yeah, I was hopin' to tail 'em a while longer myself,” Kai agrees. “But I guess we can call that one a mulligan?”

“They seemed to think they had beaten us,” Mirai observes, “despite the fact that neither of us even released our swords. We could easily catch up with them and observe them further. They may have good instincts, but they seem to sorely lack experience.”

“Let's do it then,” Kai mutters, hauling himself back up onto his feet. “We gotta get somethin' better to report to Riku than 'we kicked their asses', after all. That's not too enlightening.”

If their attackers had seriously thought they had beaten the two Commandos, they were in for a rude surprise...

You quickly call Rangiku, reporting that the Commandos may have engaged two of the 'invaders' and asking her to check in on their progress. She acknowledges your orders, and informs you that she's done reporting to the Fourth Division as well as to your own forensics team.

The scene awaiting you at the Captains' meeting is a rather serious one. The Captains who have already arrived look at you with a strange mixture of distrust and concern, having apparently heard about the morning's drama from their respective Lieutenants.

“Captain Ukitake!” you greet the white-haired man warmly. “Good to see you're on your feet again.”

“I heard I was needed,” he bows gently, an almost nervous smile on his lips. “So I decided it was a bad time to be bedridden. Are you... you know. Okay?”

“Fine,” you sigh, brushing idly at your hair. “Things are getting far too serious for my preferences, though.”

After the last surviving Captains arrives, the Head Captain quickly calls the meeting to order.

“As you are all aware,” Yamamoto growls, “Captain Aizen was reported dead this morning. Captain Unohana, have there been any reports from the autopsy?”

Retsu bows formally. “Only initial results. We have confirmed that the cause of death was massive trauma to the chest cavity, most likely by a projectile made from reishi. Captain Aizen would have been killed instantly.”

“What is slowing down the full results?” Komamura presses gruffly.

Your fellow Captain turns to face her interrogator. “We are making final confirmations. So far there are no irregularities, but given the circumstances we wished to determine all of the factors beyond reasonable doubt.”

“And it IS Aizen?” Gin asks thoughtfully. “Certainly that must have been the first thing you would confirm?”

“There are no inconsistencies between the body and Aizen's medical records,” Captain Unohana explains. “So far as I am concerned, Captain Aizen is indeed deceased.”

>>Point out that there's no evidence the invaders were involved.
have to make sure we have all the facts here. If we're wrong and the invaders where not involved but take the blame anyways then the real killer would be free to strike again while our guard is down.

“There's no evidence they were even involved,” you frown, shooting Tōsen a glare, “and considering the fact that the scene itself was so spoiled by the actions of a certain Lieutenant that we may not get any evidence, suggesting that they were is irresponsible, Captain Tōsen.”

“Captain Kusajishi has a point,” Unohana agrees softly. 'We cannot allow fervor to guide judgments which should be made with reason.”

Byakuya sighs, catching your attention. “My Lieutenant suffered a similar injury in combat with Kurosaki Ichigo, one of the invaders. It led to his defeat.”

“And you didn't share that information sooner?” Jūshirō exclaims, disbelief apparent in his voice. “Captain Kuchiki, I'm surprised you didn't report that to the Ninth Division immediately!”

“That would be the usual protocol,” Suì Fēng agrees. “I assume the Captain had a good reason for withholding such a key detail?”

“I did,” Byakuya nods sternly. “Lieutenant Abarai was left on death's doorstep by Kurosaki Ichigo's final attack. We only just took a statement from him early this morning.”

“Still,” you insist, “if you thought he had been wounded so severely under suspicious circumstances you should have informed me sooner. By now it could be too late to do a detailed survey of the scene.”

>>Ask if Byakuya's subordinates took any records from the scene. Maybe you can prove Ichigo's innocence that way.

The invaders were barely prepared, entered in a majorly flashy way, and don't seem strong enough to give a captain a challenge if said captain was serious. Someone could be using them as a diversion.

>>43873818
>>Ask if Byakuya's subordinates took any records from the scene. Maybe you can prove Ichigo's innocence that way.

Do we know how Renji did? It is a major step up to go from barely beating a Lt, to one shotting a captain.

If the enemy was badly hurt beforehand, and then in the middle of the night can assassinate a captain seems quite a stretch.

>Ask if Byakuya's subordinates took any records from the scene. Maybe you can prove Ichigo's innocence that way.
>Suggest there may be something else happening here (An attack lethal enough to kill a Captain in a single blow was launched and nobody sensed anything? Not even Tosen?)

After all, if he finds his way around Soul Society using his sixth sense as his main one, it'd make sense he'd have caught any such abnormalities. Right?

>>43873818
>Other?
Ask if Renji said anything about the level of power Kurosaki Ichigo and if it was somewhat equal to his. Also ask if Renji had unlocked his Bankai yet.

Even if they buy that Ichigo was able to take down Renji there is no way they would believe that if he was anywhere near equal to Renji when just using his Shikai that they would believe that Ichigo could take down a captain that has access to his Bankai.

The level of power between captain and Lieutenant is quite steep if said Lieutenant doesn't have their Bankai.

>>43873818
>Other
What we have here is a murder in which the method used was so discrete that it went unnoticed even by us. The Invaders on the other hand seemed unable to pull off that sort of stunt. And even if they did attempt to act discrete, any actions they took often drew attention such as what happened to Lieutenant Renji.
This leads to two possible conclusions: One, the murderer is at a level on par or above us captain class shimigami and has a capability to take us out discretely without the others knowing, which none of the Invaders have the strength to do so without attracting notice. Or Two, Aizen's Death is a false positive, which means that the real Aizen is still alive and means that there is something bigger afoot.

>>43873818
So your saying that the person Rukia gave her powers to somehow has the capability to beat an LT? What a shocking coincidence. I wonder what the odds of that happening without somebody deliberately setting that up.

“I assume your subordinates at least managed to report on the scene itself?” you ask Byakuya, your tone growing increasingly impatient.

Byakuya scowls at your implied meaning. “There was a not insubstantial amount of damage to the surroundings. It will require significant repair.”

“So there was a close fight?” you press.

After a moment of thought, Captain Kuchiki nods in agreement. “I suppose that is not inaccurate.”

“So this Kurosaki boy struggled against Abarai, presumably taking injuries,” you hypothesize, “and later that night manages to assassinate a Captain? Use your head, Byakuya. That makes no damn sense and you know it.”

“And the other kids?” Gin asks. He spins the question as sincere, but you can tell that he's setting you up.

“They've been reported in different areas of the Seireitei entirely,” you explain. “All accounted for. Not one of them was within a day's travel of the First Division barracks... unless you're thinking they're as fast as I am.”

“Something else is going on here,” you conclude. “Someone's using this invasion as a smokescreen.”

After several long moments of silence, Shunsui speaks up. “I guess that fits the evidence. But what could be going on that requires Aizen's death?”

You share a knowing look with the Head Captain. “That's why I asked you to help me capture these invaders, my dear Shunsui. Otherwise we'd be fumbling around like a bunch of blind men”

Tōsen remains silent, having apparently sensed that he's fighting a losing battle.

“There any reason I shouldn't return to my job now?” you sigh, somewhat irritated at all these meetings taking up your time. “There are invaders to capture, and a murder mystery to solve.”

“There is one issue,” Komamura replies sternly. “Captain Kusajishi, is what I heard true? Were you truly a Sternritter?”

“I was,” you reply, already turning to leave the room. “I'm not anymore.”

“Is it possible that you could be covering for a quincy invader's involvement?” the large Captain replies, no variation in his tone.

You don't even bother to turn, instead stopping in place. “Thin ice, Captain,” you growl dangerously. “Concern is one thing. Insinuation is another.”

“My apologies, Captain,” Komamura replies.

Leaving the First Division meeting hall, you place a call to your Lieutenant. “I still work with a bunch of morons,” you groan. “How are things on your end?”

“I hope I made the right decision,” Ishida mutters, back to a low wall and panting heavily. It had been a narrow escape, but by splitting up with Tatsuki it seems like each of them can now engage an opponent better suited to their own skillset.

A voice rings out from somewhere amidst the plain, pale, rectangular buildings. “Surprised to see a shinigami fightin' with a gun, right? Don't worry, boy. My Kamitinbe's pretty unique.”

“Just my luck!” Ishida retorts loudly, trying to prolong the conversation to figure out where the voice is coming from. “I always draw the chatty ones. The last shinigami I faced wouldn't shut up either.”

A shot cracks the stone next to him, shattering the young quincy's cover. Damn, this shinigami is in a different league altogether from Ikkanzaka. Trying to play his game may not work.

Running across the rooftops as quickly as his hirenkyaku can carry him, Ishida fires a volley of arrows in the direction he thinks his enemy is in. Each has sufficient power to take chunks out of the buildings the two shooters are skulking between for cover.

A second shot nearly takes Ishida's arm off at the shoulder, narrowly missing but giving him a fix on the shooter's position. He drops down amidst the buildings, using them as stepping stones to loop back in the direction of the incoming fire until he can sense the presence of a shinigami's reiatsu. With one great leap he vaults into the air, taking aim at the rooftop where his enemy has been holed up.

“Almost smart!” Kai commends the boy as the spiritual arrow glances off his tinbe, which he quickly brings to bear. “Welcome to my dojo, boy!”

Having lured his overconfident foe into a closer range by refusing to change his stationary shooting position, Kai dashes towards Ishida and blocks his line of sight with the reinforced turtle shell.

Ishida curses his own mistake, retrieving a narrow, rectangular piece of metal from a belt around his body...

You tell Rangiku to lend what backup she can to Kai, though you doubt he'll have too much difficulty with a quincy as young and inexperienced as Ishida is.

“I take it you're gonna meet with your student?” Rosa asks as you sprint towards where Mirai should be fighting.

You nod solemnly. “I've been putting this off for far too long.”

“Do you intend to capture her?” Tenkotsuki presses quietly, perhaps sensing your unease about the whole issue.

“Probably,” you admit. “She'll be safer in custody now that the other Captains are getting involved.”

“You do care about her,” Tenkotsuki muses, sounding almost relieved.

After a moment you allow yourself a small smile. “I guess I do.”

When you find Mirai, she's already fighting with Tatsuki. The human girl has donned a modified shinigami uniform looted from some nameless grunt she's beaten along the way, distinguishable by her lack of sandals. Seems her style still revolves around empty handed fighting, and she must fight better barefoot. As if all of the Seireitei is one big boxing ring.

“You impress me, girl,” Mirai admits, having drawn her kanabō. Though she seems to have made little real progress, it seems your Commando has the upper hand here. Mirai has taken no injuries, while Tatsuki seems bruised and a little tired.

“I never expected such an interesting ability. Even many of our Lieutenants would have a difficult time against you.”

Tatsuki wipes the sweat off her brow with a grin. “You're a bit of an oni yourself! What's that thing even made out of, anyway? And how can you swing it?”

Mirai laughs to herself, leaning against her kanabō casually. “I may look frail, but appearances are often deceiving in the Soul Society. Speaking of which, we have company.”

To make it clear, Mirai has trusted you implicitly since even before she met Apacci the first time. Even if she thought you'd killed Aizen out of some quincy revenge trip, she'd probably just assume Aizen did something to deserve it.

“The kid has some interesting abilities,” Kai pants as Rangiku shows him the hilt of the bladed weapon she intercepted using Haineko. “Cut off a good chunk of my tinbe with that thing, then he shoots it at me? I was careless.”

“You're welcome,” Rangiku nods quietly. “You had enough fun yet? Can I go ahead and take him in now?”

Kai shrugs. “Suit yourself. But he's too strong to take down easily, that quincy boy.”

“Sorry,” you tell Tatsuki with a bow. “I can't allow you to keep running around like this. Not only do I have my responsibilities as a Captain, but the situation has changed.”

“What do you mean?” Tatsuki frowns, angry that you'd turn on her and her friends like this. “What sort of change makes attacking us okay?”

“A Captain has been killed,” you explain, surprising Mirai with your forwardness. “Ichigo is a prime suspect, but all of you are wanted now. The other Captains are getting involved as well, which means you're all in grave danger.”

“I'm not going to let Ichigo down,” she insists confidently. “So long as he's out there fighting, I'll be doing my part.”

You sigh. She's not understanding the severity of the situation. “I'm going to let my Fourth seat capture you now, Tatsuki. You've clearly grown much stronger, and I'm proud of you. But I hope this will show you how far you are from being able to take on a Captain.”

“Mirai, please apprehend her.”

Your Commando gives you a knowing look. Of all the people who have filled the position, including your old friend Kai, Mirai has always had the greatest understanding of what makes you tick. She nods solemnly, aware of the fact that you're ordering her to hurt someone you consider a friend.

As the two clash again, you can feel two massive bursts of reiatsu in the distance: one feels like a quincy, and the other is clearly Rangiku's Byakkokiri. It's tough to say for sure, but you feel like Rangiku has a pretty solid handle on the situation.

Mirai swings her Sesshōseki at Tatsuki, who carefully sidesteps it and throws a powerful punch at her opponent. Mirai raises the ring end of the kanabō to block the blow, but the force of it slides the Commando back on her feet.

It's fairly clear even from that brief exchange that Yoruichi has taught Tatsuki to fight, building on top of the basics you yourself covered with the girl. Her stance is much better suited to a standard form of hakuda, and each blow is well-tempered with reiatsu. Some of the thicker Lieutenants like Renji could really learn a thing or two from her technique, and her reiatsu itself is obviously at Lieutenant level.

A second pair of bursts alert you to yet another fight beginning in the distance: Kenpachi has finally managed to find prey. It's almost certainly Ichigo. And barely noticeable, you feel that Shunsui is fighting someone as well. That's probably Yasutora.

After so much faffing about it seems the Captains have sniffed out all of the human invaders within a five minute interval of each other.

“Sucks to be them,” you frown, hoping that Yoruichi is already on her way to bail Ichigo out. Even after beating Renji there's no chance in hell the boy can survive against Zaraki even long enough for you to get there yourself.

Instead you watch as Sesshōseki passes cleanly through Tatsuki's body.

“Wait, what?” you exclaim, genuinely surprised for the second time today. “Since when is this a thing?”

“That is not the first time she has used that trick,” Mirai frowns, having maneuvered to the far side of her opponent. “She is a difficult one to figure out.”

“You're not gonna let me go,” Tatsuki growls wearily. “So I've gotta pull out the stops.”

A ferocious snap-kick nearly takes Mirai's head off, but your Commando ducks low and sweeps her kanabō at Tatsuki's exposed left ankle.

Well, Queen did say it was just as Bull shit as Orihime's power, without the setting wrecking implications her's has.

Again the weapon seems to slide right through her... but the chains erupting from Mirai's left sleeve as she follows through find a purchase.

“Bakudo 63: Sajō Sabaku!” Mirai cries, entrapping Tatsuki as the chains sweep up into the blind spot left by the human girl's hakama and bind her in place. With an equally resolute cry of defiance Tatsuki strains briefly against the spell, then kicks off hard against the ground and slides right out.

Sesshōseki falls heavily onto the back of Tatsuki's head with a loud crack, and the girl goes limp.

"My apologies," Mirai pants. "That was more brutal than I wanted it to be. You fought well, human, so take a break for now. Allow us to handle things from here."

"She's unconscious," you observe. "She can't hear you."

"Regardless."

It seems like the fight against Shunsui is already over, and Ishida's power is weakening. Ichigo is still fighting at full tilt, but you can tell Zaraki is getting serious.

Pretty sure at this point Shunsui flailing as he fell to the floor would be enough to beat Chad.

"Sorry, boy," Shunsui mutters as an astonished Yasutora falls to the floor, blood spurting from the wound in his shoulder and chest. "I understand your feelings, but I have my own duties to consider."

Lieutenant Ise moves in to join her Captain, and is about to say something when she notices the fallen human still breathing. She looks down at him, a mixture of pity and distaste in her eyes.

"Captain, this boy is still alive. Shall I..."

Shunsui grabs her by the upraised hand, stopping her from using whatever technique she was about to employ to kill Yasutora.

"A lady shouldn't be in such a hurry to do things like that, Nanao," he insists quietly. "Besides, Lady Riku told me she wants these invaders alive."

After a quiet moment with his Lieutenant that could almost be called tender, Shunsui spares a nervous glance at the fallen boy.

"He IS alive, right?" the Captain mutters. "Did I overdo it?"

“I'll take care of this,” you tell Mirai quietly, gently lifting Tatsuki's limp body in your arms. You're careful about her head and neck, in case the injuries Mirai gave her were more severe than you anticipated.

Mirai looks at her in concern. “Was that okay? I mean, I hope I did not hurt her too badly.”

“You did fine,” you reassure her. “I know you take this sort of thing as seriously as I do.”

“She is a human, I am a shinigami,” Mirai replies quietly, but with a conviction you rarely hear from shinigami these days. “The dead have no right to kill the living. You taught me that, ma'am.”

“And you've become a fine officer,” you reply, giving Mirai a gentle nudge. “I'm glad I met you all that time ago, back in the Academy.”

Finally, Ishida's spiritual presence nearly disappears. He's not dead, but he's clearly done fighting for the foreseeable future. Rangiku and Kai begin the trip back to your barracks as well.

After a massive increase in Kenpachi's reiatsu, Ichigo's presence all but vanishes. You stop in your tracks, a sinking feeling taking over as Mirai glances at you in concern. Then, shortly afterwards, you feel a similar explosion in Ichigo's power. The boy has grown far stronger than you could have anticipated, easily reaching Captain level.

Well, the level of a Captain in shikai, at least. A weak one at that. But it's clearly enough to put the pressure back on Kenpachi.

“What even happened?” you mutter, continuing on to your headquarters. Shinigami quickly make way as you forge a path to the prison.

“Mirai, please call a Fourth Division medical team,” you order. “Tell Unohana we have at least two invaders in out custody, and may have a third soon.”

Mirai nods quietly. “Yes ma'am.”

In the mean time Ichigo has increased his power again, enough to match Kenpachi. In one brief burst that shakes the ground for miles around they clash, and both of their spiritual presences disappear.

You lay Tatsuki down on a mattress in a cell, her hands now heavily cuffed. She's not breaking out any time soon, even if she wakes up right now.

“The girl was distributing properties through her body,” Tenkotsuki explains. “That is why she could phase through the binding spell Miss Mirai used, and allowed that weapon to phase through her. It also explains her proficiency at hakuda, as well as how she could hit with such physical force. She shifted her mass into her fist along with the reiatsu, meaning she can hit with far greater force.”

So Tatsuki can shift the properties of things? If she's not just limited to herself, that's several levels of bullshit right there. I wonder if it only has to be physical properties? Could she shift metaphysical properties around as well perhaps?

>>43877288

Perhaps, but still strongly a BS power. Chad really gets fucked over in the power lottery.

>>43877190
>>Wait here for Ishida and Yasutora, question the prisoners.
really hope the kenni ichigo fight doesn't come to the same draw sesne we've been pushing kennpachi to be better.

>>43877190
>Wait here for Ishida and Yasutora, question the prisoners.
>Yoruichi has Ichigo. She'll be taking him somewhere from here to recover.
So Tatsuki's ability in a nutshell gives her a hitbox that allows the rest of her body to phase through any attacks. Essentially Bullet Hell in Melee Combat.

>Could she shift metaphysical properties around as well perhaps?

It won't come up for a while, and it's not immediately relevant, so I'll give you the present limitations.

With practice and effort, she can shift ANY property over which she has a clear understanding. Some properties require much more effort than others, and she can't do it in quick succession.

She can't remove a property entirely, just redistribute it.

She can only distribute properties within her own body.

She can't move properties across a physical boundary not formed by her own body: for example, this means she can't phase through surfaces entirely. That would require her to move her "tangibility" across the "boundary" formed by the surface she's moving through which she cannot do.

>>43877410
So what you're saying is she can get through fist sized holes in walls...

>>43877410
>present limitations.
So does that mean in the future, she'll get more broken?

>>43877410
Well now, that's definitely interesting

>>43877448
Technically, all things are porous to a microscopic extent, even if not in a linear fashion

>>43877452
Some of those are hard limitations, others are there due to experience and reiatsu limitations that may disappear in time. She WILL get better at it in time.

I've been working out these limitations and the growth you can expect from her since I decided she'd be a more important character in the quest.

>>43877494
>Best girl is relevant

Well that's nice. Always bugged me that the stupid slut became the universe breaking master key.

>>43877494

Have you worked out anything so that chad is something other then fodder?

>>43877535
DESU, orihime's abilities probably would have surpassed ichigo's if she wasn't so weak willed. She had the abilities to reverse time, cut through anything with enough willpower, and reject reality

>>43877580
Queen isn't a god anon.

>>43877601

She should have at least mastered the ability for barriers and healing.

It looked like she may of gotten better in the time skip, just that everything was waved away since Captains are always more important then any human character.

Chad and Orihime might as well have been stuck with the rest of Ichigo's freinds in cannon, for all the good they do/

“That's pretty cool,” you admit, legitimately impressed at how your one-time student has improved. “And she'll only improve with age, too.”

“Hope she doesn't hold this against you,” Rosa muses.

You're almost sure that she won't.

Rangiku brings Ishida in a few minutes later, tattered and bloodied, wrapped up in Kai's Commando haori. The garment is heavily stained, a testament to the severity of Ishida's wounds. Rangiku for her part is only mildly wounded, with what looks like a burn on her left bicep from a near miss.

“The kid's pretty good,” she grunts, setting him gracelessly onto a second mattress. “We'll need a medic.”

“You kicked his ass,” you frown. “What technique did you use on him?”

“A new one,” Rangiku tells you, with a little pride in her voice. “I call it Ōyamaneko no Mai. Developed it a few years back.”

“You'll have to show me that one some time,” you nod approvingly. “If it was enough to handle him that easily, it must be powerful. I could feel the fight from here.”

Yasutora is in bad condition as well when Shunsui brings him in.

“Sorry, I think I mighta overdid it!” Shunsui bows apologetically. “I don't think you'll be interrogating him any time soon.”

“That's going around,” you shrug. “The two we've already got are in rough shape.”

“Look after these three,” you order your daughter and Commandos. “And please apologize on my behalf for the rough treatment. Pay especially close attention to the girl, she can phase through objects. I'm not sure those reiatsu-suppressing cuffs can stop her.”
