Meanwhile you are on your way to the Ishida mansion the others at the Kurosaki clinic are having a pleasant chat.

''Oh my!
That's a lovely ring you have!''
Masaki compliments Harribel.

''Why thank you.''

"So you two are actually married?
Got to be honest I never thought hollows ever get engaged.
How did it go?"

"Well... it's not a particularly interesting story.
One day he called me over to talk about things in private and all of a sudden I find him on one knee and with a ring in his hand.
I was speechless for a few solid minutes afterwards."

"That... sounds a bit plain.
But at least the ring is nice."

Tier chuckles a bit.
"I suppose that's where most of his creativity went actually.
This gem he took from the king of Hueco Mundo right after dethroning that tyrant.
And believe it or not but the actual ring itself is metal that he took from his own sword.
That way I always carry a piece of his soul on my person.''

Masaki covers her mouth with her hand.
''Oh my... That's so... cheesy!
I guess he is a hopeless romantic after all!''

Tia laughs at this.
''Truth be told I was never a fan of romantic stuff like that but the gesture still touched me deeply.
It's true that Kaizar is a bit old fashioned but I love that about him.
And how he blushes in the presence of women is just adorable!''

Tia and Masaki laugh heartily after that little exchange.
In the meantime Neliel sighs as her arms are folded on the table and she rests her head on her forearms.
Harribel raises an eyebrow at her and speaks up.

''What's wrong Neliel?''

*sigh*
''Nothing... It's just...
Hearing you say all that stuff makes me feel like a piece of garbage...''

''What? Why?''

She blushes in embarrassment and gathers her courage.
''Please don't hate me for this!
But you just made me remember all my past mistakes!
I missed my chance with Kaizar and now I regret it.
I got tangled in Aizens plans and now everyone hates me for it! I hear them calling me names like ''traitor''...
To top it all off I even tried to get together with Ulquiorra at one point and well... I'm just glad it never happened...
I still feel quite happy for you, don't get me wrong! It's just that sometimes I feel so lonely and can't help but get jealous at the two of you!''

Tia puts a hand on her shoulder.
''Don't worry.
You've known Kaizar for longer than I and I'm sure he still thinks of you as a friend.
And I'd like to say that despite our differences we are also close enough to be friends.''

Neliel almost tears up.
''Thank you!''

Masaki looks at them and speaks up.
''Oh that's so sweet!''
Then her attention turns to Harribel.
''But let's change the subject! It's no good dwelling on sad things!
Tell me Harribel when are you due?''

Tia looks at her in shock.
''How did you-''

''I'm a mother of three sweetheart.
I know one when I see one! And you are practically radiant!"

Tier blushes and pulls up her collar as Nels mouth is agape with shock.
''I... I just found it out today...''

As you follow Uryu through the streets of Karakura town you sneeze so loud that the birds in the immediate area scatter from the trees.
The others look at you, clearly puzzled.

You try to clean your nose as you speak up.
''Okay this doesn't make any sense.
Can ghosts be allergic?''

Dante shrugs.
''Since ghosts can apparently die I don't see why they couldn't be.
After all, why would the universe suddenly make sense?"
He then looks at Tatsuki who is walking right next to him.
''So... pretty exciting huh?''

"You can say that again.
Tell me, why don't we just fly there?
I mean I use that every chance I get! Do you know how huge of a deal this is?
We can all literally, freakin' FLY!"

"Now, now Tatsuki."
Asher speaks up.
"What did I tell you about abusing your power?
If anyone finds out your capabilities who knows what'll happen to you?
Why can't you be more like Chad in that regard? Speaking of which, I haven't seen him in a while now...
What's he up to?"

She shrugs.
"He only told us that he wants to train and then he just sorta disappeared.
And I don't even know what kind of training he was talking about.
It could be that he simply decided to focus on his boxing lessons."

"Ah, so he made up his mind about that?
Good for him."

"Yeah... he said that he won't stop until he becomes the world heavy-weight champion.
And I just don't get him. He doesn't need all that work!
He could mop the floor with any regular human!"

Asher scratches the back of his head.
"Now I'm at a loss for words...
On one hand I want to scold you for wanting to cheat with your fullbring.
On the other I always use mine to cheat at poker..."

Dante let's out a cackle.
"Now THAT'S my dad!"

Meanwhile Uryu who is at the front grumbles to himself.
"Can you all be quiet for just a moment?"
He turns to look at you.
"Is it always this bad?"

"Are you kidding me?
This is as quiet as it can get with them."

"Ugh...
Well at least we are here."
He takes a few steps to the large iron fence and looks at you.
"Listen! When we enter there things might get... awkward.
Let me do the talking and DON'T do anything rash! Got it?"
Dante gives him a thumbs up.
"Okay, glad we cleared that up."

At the same time Tatsuki face palms herself and begins mumbling.
"Can't believe how naïve this guy is!"

Upon entering the house Uryu doesn't even bother to announce his presence.
You suspect even if he did the structure is so massive that probably nobody would even hear it.
He signals with his hand for you to follow after he looks around the place.

''Why all the secrecy?
Are you sure we are not breaking and entering right now?"
Dante asks him.

"It's unlikely that my father would be home but it never hurts to be careful.
Now come on in.''

As you follow the young quincy you ask him a question.
''So wait...
Is your father even aware of you housing a vampire in here?
And if he is then doesn't that mean he's okay-"

But before you could finish you hear the unmistakable chime of a quincy firing off a holy arrow.
Your eyes see the brilliant blue beam of light quickly closing in on your position.
However before it could ever reach you a hand reaches out and snatches the projectile out of the air.
You see Dante clutching his fist together and blue reishi leaks out where his grip is not air tight.
The boy slowly tightens his hold until the attack is absolutely destroyed and the reishi particles that made it up disperse violently.

"Wow... I never realized you quincy guys take security so seriously your home defense system attacks even the owners!
But in all seriousness, what was that about it being clear?"

"I-I didn't-"
Uryu tries to explain himself but he's cut off by another voice.

"Did you really think you'd be able to detect me if I didn't want you to?"
A man in a wide rim hat and a long, white overcoat steps out from the shadows.

"Sensei!
I can explain!"

"Explain what?
The reason why you brought two fuckin' hollows in your own house?
Please do because I would love a good laugh!"
The man then takes out a rather large cigars and lights it.
Strangely enough you don't see the weapon with which he fired at you.

Dante steps forward with his typical mischievous grin.
He cracks his knuckles and then his head as he speaks.
"Heh... I think I'll enjoy this.
So... What's with the attitude Dick Tracy?
Are you so pissy because somebody bleached your coat as a prank?"

This bodes badly.

>Pull back Dante and let Uryu handle this

Calmly you reach out to Dante and grab him by the shoulder.
He looks back at you in surprise and sees you shaking your head.
The corners of his mouth slowly curl downward until he looks like a five year old that just got his toy taken away from him.
But just as you expected him to burst out in tears he collects himself and simply shrugs.

''Well! Can't be helped I guess."

Asher looks at him after this.
"Who are you and what did you do to my son?"

Just as he said that another blue arrow is launched at you.
This time you paid close attention to the mans movements and you STILL didn't even see his weapon, let alone him firing it.
All you see is the projectile as it travels through the air.

But to your surprise it's stopped mid way by an attack identical to it both in power and form.
As the two blasts disappear Uryu looks at his master with eyes full of determination and his bow pulled back once more.

"Sensei! I can't allow you to attack these hollows!"

"Oh? And you think that you can stop me you brat?"

The man fires off five new arrows in your direction with the same blinding speed he demonstrated before.
But now you saw his movements more clearly. It appears that he quickly draws some sort of a weapon from his coat before rapidly firing it and then holstering the armament once more.

In response to that Uryu lets his arrow loose and as it flies through the sky the attack splits into five smaller versions of the same attack, nullifying his masters blasts once more.
"I told you to stand down Master!
These people are my guests and this is MY house!"

"Wrong!
It's your fathers house and as much of a dick he is he'd be with me on this one!
And "guests"?! Have you gone completely mad boy?!
Those things are not human! They are hollows! You know full well what that means!''
The man slowly opens up his coat and pulls out his silver Mauser C96.

Now there's a familiar sight.
You haven't seen one of those boys in a good while and you never would have imagined that witnessing one would actually scare you.
As it's quite obvious what the elderly quincy is planning to do. His deliberate display of his weapon is an obvious sign that shit is about to hit the fan.

>>919375
>Nobody ever just pulls a gun out to shoot ichigo and co in canon
It would have worked when they were more normie tier, man

"And just because they are hollows we should exterminate them?
It's that attitude that nearly got our kind wiped out Master!
The way I see it they are innocent until proven guilty! If they did nothing wrong then there's no reason for us to purge them!"

"Do you honestly believe they haven't done anything?"
He turns to you.
"Tell me beast, have you ever killed an innocent person before?
Have you ever feasted upon the souls of the unfortunate who can't pass onto the afterlife?"

"Yes. Yes I have."
You answer without hesitation.

"You see what I mean?
No matter what form they might take a hollow is still just a hollow!"

Uryu looks at you and pauses for a moment.
"Now answer my question.
Have you done those things since you became an arrancar?"

"No. No, I haven't."

"And that's where your point falls apart master.
I never held a grudge against any hollows I've killed.
In fact I felt sorry for them. They were humans turned into little more than animals.
My only regret in purifying them was that our quincy abilities erase them completely from existence.
Given all this. I can't hold them accountable for what they did in such a state if they haven't sinned as humans!"

The old quincy growls a bit before raising his weapon.
"Soft hearted fool."
He fires off a blast more powerful than all the previous ones before it.

Uryu visibly begins to panic and it becomes pretty clear that he can't block this one and that he can't convince his master to change his attitude towards you.
However as the boy is heavily taxing himself in a vain attempt to come up with a way of defending against the huge blast a figure steps out from behind him.

Dante looks back at Uryu and he grins at him.
"Ya know... you're not that bad!
I like you."

He pulls his bastard sword free and swings it downward with both of his hands.
The force of the strike was enough not to simply cut the blast in half but to completely destroy any remnants of it.
Dante twirls his sword between his fingers before holstering it on his back as the tiny, blue reishi particles fall around him like snowflakes.

"Okay... You can try convincing him once more.
Don't worry, I'll block whatever he might throw at me.
But you get only one more chance, got it?"

Ishidas eyes waver for a moment but he quickly regains his resolve.
"Yes. And... Thanks."

>Have you ever feasted upon the souls of the unfortunate who can't pass onto the afterlife?"
I thought we exclusively ate hollows and shinigami during our time in the world of the living.

>>919437
Nah, we had a few plusses in the beginning.
Also alex, we tore a chunk out of her plus.

>>919444
Then we adopted her

>>919489
Ah yes, that age old story of man eats out little girl, goes to a prison camp shithole, meets the girl who now has some sort of complex, adopts her and sets her straight then has a grandson who is some sort of masochist.

My favorite bedtime story.

"Listen to me Master!
Do you even hear yourself talking?
These hollows are not the mindless monsters we thought them to be!
So why? Why do you hate them so much?!"

"Why?
Is that even a question?!
We are quincies, that's why!"

"You lie!
I'm a quincy just like you!
And while it's true that I don't trust them I don't feel the same hatred towards them that you do!"

"Hate?
Hate is a childs word!
What I feel about these abominations can not be expressed with such a weak word!
These freaks cause so much pain in the world that it's simply unforgivable!
Do you truly want to forgive these creatures? Fine!
But the blood of all their victims will be on your hands Uryu!"

"So you want to punish them for a crime they couldn't help but commit?
And you think that cold hearted murder is a just punishment for that?
These are people DAMN IT!"

Uryu readies his arrow and fires it at the elderly quincy.
If his master didn't slightly cock his head to the right the arrow would have torn it clean off.
He looks at Uryu and takes a long hit from his cigar.

"So...
You want to protect the lives of these... hollows... so much that you'd attack your own teacher?
Ungrateful little bastard..."
The man then opens up his coat and puts his pistol away.
"Fine...
You win... Just don't come to me crying if you get tainted by them.
Your soul can rot from their toxin for all I care."

He then slowly walks to one of the back rooms.
Uryu exhales with relief.
Tatsuki walks up to him to comfort the boy.

"Are you okay?"

"I... I think so.
Thank you, Arisawa."
He pushes his glasses back up and looks at you.
"Hopefully we won't be interrupted anymore.
Now... how'd you like to handle Yoshino?"

Dante wins

>writing

After a quick little argument with the others you decided to skip all unnecessary stuff and let Dante do the talking.
Uryu quickly showed you to Yoshinos room before taking off to meet his teacher for a talk.
As you closed the door behind Dante you took out your watch to check out the time.

"Are we sure this is a good idea?"
Tatsuki asks you, clearly nervous about this whole thing.

"Of course.
We just have to make sure to get the timing right."

After 4 minutes and 54 seconds you open up the door and Dante casually walks out of the room.
"Got the location of the fuckers."

"Impressive work son.
Are you sure it's accurate?"

"Yeap!
It's a mansion here in Karakura town.
Got the precise location and even a description of the place.
But considering it's a western european style mansion it won't be easy to miss."

Tatsuki looks at him awe struck.
"H-how did you do that?
Never mind! I don't want to know!"

The boy begins laughing as he answers.
"It's no secret.
Really it's quite easy!
All I did is stare at her intently for about four minutes, while I slowly creeped up on her.
By the end she started freaking out as she felt my breathing on her neck.
Then I just asked her where the other bounts are and she told me everything just so I'd leave her alone."

You look in the door and see a quite terrified woman with long brown hair covering in a corner.
"Sorry about that Ma'am.
I promise we won't bother you anymore.
Have nice day."

"GET THE HELL OUT!"
She screams as she threw a pillow in your general direction.

"How rude."
You close the door carefully and just as you do you see someone staring at you from across the hallway.

The elderly quincy that tried to kill you just mere minutes ago is walking up to you slowly.
Seeing as he probably wants to talk you make your way to him and meet halfway there.

"Can I help you?"
You ask him.

"Something kept bothering me about you...
But I just couldn't put my finger on what it exactly was.
Now I know..."

"Yes?"

"There was a hollow once that tormented my family for quite a long while.
My parents believed they got cursed with the beast as it stalked them.
Though I can't remember their description of the beast one detail stuck with me.
That abomination had exactly six gills on its temples...
You wouldn't know anything about a hollow like that, would you?"

"You assume I was the one who started the whole thing."

Just as you finish you feel something pressing against your stomach.
Looking down you see the barrel of a pistol jammed into your abdominals.

"At this distance I can easily tear you in half with this."

You lean in close and look at him with cold eyes.
"Go ahead.
Make my day."

The mans hand shakes a bit before he pulls the weapon back.
"Hmph...
Fuckin' monster..."

>>919697
Misinformed fool, that quincy bitch was the one who followed US. I mean shit, we kept fleeing further and further away from her crazy ass. If anything, we were cursed by her.

As the quincy leaves you make your way back to the others.

"What did he want?"
Asks a clearly confused Asher.

"I think he was coming onto me."
Nobody looks amused.
"Oh to hell with you, that was good!
Now let's get this shit finally over with!"

Waiting around for Uryu to get his shit together took a while but in the end you all took off to where Dante led you.
Surprisingly to everybody he actually managed to get you there without getting lost once.

What laid before you was a rather large mansion that was clearly out of place in a Japanese city.
"Huh...
Would you look at that..."
Asher marvels at the obvious vampire lair.
"And you guys judged me for preparing holy water...
Either it'll actually work or these bounts are bigger suckers for the classics than I am."

While it'd be amusing if Ashers trinkets actually worked you doubt that'll be the case.
And while you're here it'd be best to decide how to handle the situation before you enter.

You walk up to the intercom and press the large button on it immediately.
Tatsuki speaks up almost instantly at this.

"Hey, hey!
What are you doing?
We have the element of surprise and you're going to call them up?"

"Sometimes force is entirely unnecessary.
They probably know of our presence and have a vague idea of our power.
While it's true that we could kick the doors down without effort it's also pointless.
In all likelihood they'll just let us in to avoid any unnecessary damage."

You hear a beeping noise, signaling that they can hear you but you don't hear anyone talking.
As you look up you also see the small camera on the panel lighting up.
Seeing this Asher jumps at the chance and whips out his bible.

"Hello sir or madam!
Do you have a moment to talk about our lord Jesus Christ?"

Wanting in on the action Dante knocks his father out of the way.
"And when you are done with that I have your delivery right here.
One extra large, vegetarian pizza with extra garlic!"

The camera looks at Asher first and Dante afterwards as the two goofballs keep chuckling to themselves.
"Great...
And here I thought my plan would actually work out.
Now thanks to you two I'm going to look like a complete idiot when they don't open the gate!"

But as you speak you notice something.
The camera that focused on the two clowns shifted to you and it remains fixed on your face.
Curious about this you move around a bit and see that it keeps following you.

"Oh-kaaaay...
That's weird..."

Just as you said that however the large cast-iron fence begins to open up automatically and the intercom powers down.
You scratch your head as to why they decided to open the front door but in the end you don't want to look that gift horse in the mouth.

"Huh...
Look at that. I was right after all!"

You signal your friends and begin walking through a long road that leads you through a row of rather tall and very well tended oak trees.
From the nicely kept gardens to the remarkably beautiful marble carvings you get a sort of noble vibe from the place.
All in all you have to commend these vampires for their good taste.

But as you walk along the path you fail to notice something creeping up on you.
It was not your fault for not noticing it, the creature possessed such a well developed stealth mode that very well rivals your own.
Before you even realized that you were being stalked an incredibly large fish erupted from the ground and swallowed up all your comrades in one fell swoop.

You cried out in surprise as the large, rocky monster slowly disappeared in the ground.
For a few minutes you tried to locate them or the fish but it was futile.

"Guys..."
Rage began to build up inside of you until your gills began to glow with a crimson hue and you stormed through the front door.

>>920005
We should give them a heads up that if this is some sort of plan to force us to help them fight SS or something that not only is this the third attempt this week, but that we will personally beat them to death with their own skulls.

>>920005
Welp there goes diplomacy.

Honestly we try to do things nicely and they just keep dragging the Fear Eater out of us.

You kick with all of your power and the huge double door not only falls off its hinges but it also breaks to many uncountable bits.
Furiously you storm through the entryway and you begin shouting at the top of your lung.

"GET OVER HERE YOU BASTARDS AND I PROMISE IT'LL ONLY HURT FOR TWO LIFETIMES!"

"Ahahah!
Look at the little hollow!
He thinks we are hiding from him! How adorable!"
A man with short brown hair and a large goatee jumps down from the balcony upstairs to face you.
Upon closer inspection you see multiple individuals, all human in appearance looking down at you.
All in all you count seven people upstairs, their smell betrays their nature. They all reek of souls.

''WHERE ARE MY FRIENDS?!"

''I don't know if you noticed or not but you are not in any position to make demands.
Not unless you want your comrades to get-''

But before he could finish you close the distance between him and you with a booming sonído.
As you stare down the man you grab him by the throat and lift him up while you start choking him.
"WHERE ARE THEY?!"

The man keeps making gagging and choking noises until you get bored of him and slam him into a nearby wall with enough force to create a large crater in it.
Dust flies in all directions as his body crashes into solid brick and you suspect that he lost consciousness.
However as things start to settle you hear footsteps coming down from upstairs and a mans voice.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REHHlBbf6nM

''Utagawa you fool.
I told you to stay put until I come...
Now look what you did. I'll have to get that wall renovated..."
You can't see him from the dust in the air but for some reason that voice sounds familiar to you.
''In any case, I feel the need to apologize my friend.
Because it appears that there has been a big misunderstanding.
Your friends are completely safe downstairs. I gave my associate very clear orders about their safety so you shouldn't worry about them.
I just wanted to talk with you... without any distractions."

As the dust settles you finally see the image of the man unfold before you.
You see a scar on the left side of his chin, red eyes and white hair.
When the image clears your eyes go wide and you start making noises similar to the man you strangled mere moments ago.
And as you keep gagging on your own saliva the man keeps speaking.

''After all, what madman would want to anger the infamous Siegfried Krieger?
Hauptscharführer of the 13th Jäger Division?"

You finally manage to utter the words you couldn't up until now.
"E-Eugene! Eugene Currier!"

"It's been a while Chief..."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZujJ77VeA4

"But please...
It's Jin now. Jin Kariya."

Your expression changes drastically.
While mere moments ago your gills were brimming with blood now you can feel yourself going pale, like a man who just saw a ghost.
Eugene Currier, a man who by all accounts should be dead and yet here he stands before you.
The man was not a high ranking officer, in fact you recall him being a mere Schütze, a rifleman.
And while you can't say you knew him you'll always remember the faces of all the men that served under you, especially him with his distinct appearance and indomitable will.

"Eugene!!!
What?! HOW?!
WHAT THE FUCK?"

"Is that how you greet an old comrade Chief?
I'm hurt. Still I understand your shock.
When I saw your face on the video feed I didn't know how to react either."
He runs his fingers through his hair as he continues.
"The great warrior of Barbarossa...
That's what most of the soldat called you back then.
There were also rumors about the low ranking soldiers killing one another just so they could get serve under you.
You even had that famous line of yours that you said before every major engagement, I loved that one."
He clears his throat and begins reciting your words.

"Defeat is unacceptable and death is a sin!
The only way to atone for it is by making the enemy pay for it!
Let's give them Hell!"

"Or something like that."

"I can't believe it!
It IS you!"

"Of course!
You see, Bount physiology is wonderful.
As long as we don't over indulge in consuming live humans we live forever and never age."

"What do you want with me?"

"As I said, just a chat!
Seeing you made me remember the Second Great War again.
It was really one of my favorite parts of history! And it was so memorable thanks to you!"

>>920164
>we literally know him
well fuck.

>>920300
Well this is a nice reunion and all, but I'm getting vibes from this guy.

What the fuck is he playing at?

>>920300
>Bounts caused World War 2 to harvest Soul energy.

I KNEW IT, HITLER WAS A GOOD GUY.

The man looks at you with the most satisfied look you've ever seen, no doubt he's enjoying that confused look on your face.

"You no doubt have many questions so I'll answer some for you.
Why? Well, why not?
The second World War was unlike anything ever before it so of course I had to experience it from up close.
Not to mention all the benefits that came with it. An ample amount of corpses meant I could feed as much as I wanted without having a care in the world.
And it wasn't even a risky thing for me.
Blending into the background is so much easier when you have someone stealing all the spotlight."
Jin points at you.
"That's right.
It's only thanks to you that I could keep my identity a secret for all that time.
Almost nobody paid any attention to me with the great Siegfried Krieger in proximity to me."

You frown at the man as he keeps looking down at you.
"What the fuck are you playing at Kariya?"

"How should I say this?
I'm not playing at anything. In fact I want to be straight forward with you.
I just want two things and one of them is entirely optional.
First I need a quincy and it just so happens you delivered one right to my doorstep and the other one is Yoshino whom I can smell on you...
Now I'm not looking to start anything here. In fact I'm perfectly willing to overlook your incident with the fullbringers.
We've already concluded our business with them when you destroyed their operations.''
He reaches into his pocket and retrieves a metal case for cards and starts tossing it around to amuse himself.
''So I'd like to ask a favor from you Siegfried as old comrades.
Just allow me to conduct some business with the young quincy.
We need his help with conducting a ritual of sorts. He won't be harmed in any way and when he's done he can leave alongside everyone else."

You look around at the other bounts and then back at Kariya.
"What's this ritual you're talking about?"

He gives you a coy smile.
"It's a rite that we bounts use to traverse the boundary between realms.
Basically we want to get back at Soul Society for all that they've done to us.
You see, our entire race is one huge mistake on Soul Societys part and rather than trying to fix it they decided to commit genocide on our people.
For centuries now we've been preparing for the time when we can get revenge on the shinigami for what they've done!''
Jin extends his arm to you.
''Surely a hollow can understand our pain!
Those soul reapers must have harmed you just the same way they did us!
So please! Help us get revenge!''

You look at his palm and think about things.
The shinigami are not your friends, far from it.
But do you really want to go along with this?

>I don't care about Soul Society, do as you please
>I won't be a part of this, so release my friends and we'll take our leave
>I can't allow you to do that
>Reach out to him and punch him in the face
>Other? (write-in)

>Ths is like, the third time this week someone asks me to help them destroy Soul Society. I understand what you´re getting at, and i know they are dicks, but you must understand if they know i just let you in there they´ll break our uneasy truce and try to fuck US over. Just grab the other quincy when i´m not here or something.

>>920436
>>I won't be a part of this, so release my friends and we'll take our leave

>>920436
>I can't allow you to do that
People seem to not appreciate being genocided, including when it was hollows on the receiving end, and we have a wife and son in the Soul Society.

So really the only reasonable answer is no.

>>920446
seconding this
plausible deniability, we wont help, but we dont stop them.

>>920446
>>920436
>Plus, the place is a dump anyway. Literally medieval japan. I built a better society in Hueco Mundo in 50 years. I'm totally up for some sort of mutual defense pact or something though.

''It seems that most people want to destroy Soul Society nowadays."
You clutch your fist and look at it.
"While I can't blame you for it I won't be aiding you in this either."

"But you said it yourself!
You hate them, don't you?"

"I do but as a leader I can't allow my own emotions to dictate my actions.
I have others that I must take care of!
So in short if I help you then the Soul Society will come after me when they are done with you!"
You look up at Kariya.
"Now... release my friends Jin!
Stay true to your word!"

His eyes grow narrower by every moment as he looks at you in disdain.
"Fine..."

And that'll be the end of this session.
Archive's up and pastebins will be done later.

I'll either continue tomorrow or I'll post some omakes alongside some side stuff.

Have a nice day

>>920538

>His eyes grow narrower by every moment as he looks at you in disdain.
"Fine..."

Disdain my ass, we're a leader and we look after our people.

I mean fuck I understand where he's coming from, genocide made Magneto after all, but commuting our forces to a war we just spent a lot of time and energy to prevent is stupid.

If he can't understand that then he's just a whiny bitch that beat his way into power.

>>920544
Oh, and thanks for running Spooky

bounts eat reishi right? how would they react to some hueco mundo fruit? would they overdose or something?

>>920601
Probably not, they would likely enjoy it.

I say we invite him to experience the NEW hueco mundo, and try to convince him to fight not for revenge, but progress. Invite him and his people to flourish with the hollows of vanaheim, in mutual protection. There need not be any genocide any longer, not when you have paradise.

I want the bounts to become members of our society and help them. They're a lot like the hollows, really - broken souls who get shit on by shinigami. We really ought to stick together and try to maintain peace and cooperation between everyone.

>>920631
That's a nice dream and all, but I doubt he'd go for it.

I compared this guy to Magneto for a reason, though he's more Brotherhood of mutants Era Magneto if anything.

He wants soul society gone, and he doesn't really care about his subordinates as people anymore. If they die in the service of his goal of seeing SS burn to the ground, then that's just business to him.

If, and this is a big fucking if, we convince him to hang up the sword and rebuild his people in our lands then I'd be all for it.

Bounts are scary powerful when they know what they're doing, some of them even being able to go toe to toe with a captain.

That's the kind of power we could use when, not if WHEN, soul society fucks up and we get a war on our hands.

>>920662
We definitely should give it a shot, if nothing else.
Convince him to try vanaheim out for a week, and in that time we can try to change his mind on the whole "taking a war to them" thing.

Attacking SS on their home turf without the spiritual equivalent of a nuke is a terrible idea anyways

>Nel was trying to hook up with Sadbat
Am I the only one that noticed this?
Surely one little reversal of death isn't abuse...
>It's a terrible idea, I know. Would make for a hysterical debriefing session though.
"What did you learn while spying on the Soul Reapers?!"
"I was just doing gardening."
"Tia, Alex, Pesci! Remind me to TELL people my intentions from time to time!"

As I stated in my twitter I'll be doing some omakes insead of the follow up.

The first thing I'll do is a side story about some interesting events in the Soul Society which is 100% canon.

Then I'll make 3 short omakes.
-1st is the scenario where Kaizar never became an arrancar and went onto become a Vasto+

-2nd is Kaizar and co. as soul reapers.

And lastly I thought about doing the Wedding between Kaizar and Harribel
(You can decide if you treat this as canon or not)

But naturally you can make a suggestion and I'll do that instead if either I like it or others also request it

>>923513
Dropped your trip.

>>923513
>>923520
Yeah...
It's these times that I take a good long look at the noose in my room, longing for the sweet release of death

Hisagi Shuhei the lieutenant of the 9th division is on his way to the division training grounds.
When he finally arrives he takes note of how empty the whole place is. Usually his captain makes sure that his men train themselves as much as possible in order to whip them into shape after the traitorous Captain Tosen made sure their strength dwindled.
But Hisagi doesn't share his new captains concerns as he always held the former Tosen Kaname in high regard.

Speaking of which Captain Junichi is standing right in the middle of the large open area, waiting for Shuhei.
"Captain!"
The lieutenant bows before his superior.
"You asked for me."

He nods.
"Indeed I have.
And I suspect you know exactly why I summoned you."

"No idea, sir!"

"I've been hearing rumors that circulate amongst the men Lieutenant Hisagi...
Many of our comrades find your views on the traitor Tosen worrying..."

"With due respect, sir!
Captain Kaname may have been a traitor but he cared deeply about his squad!
His philosophies and teachings only made the 9th stronger over the years!"

"Do you hear what you are saying?
I've researched his views and it was immediately clear that his words nothing more than poison that slowly eroded the integrity of the division!
If he did as good of a job as you claim then there'd be no need for me to bring all of you up to speed!"
The captain stops for a second to calm himself down.
He reaches under his shihakusho and pulls out a cigarette.
"Want some?"

"N-no thanks...
I don't smoke."

"Fine by me."
After Asato inhales the fumes his nerves calm down a lot.
He blows the smoke out and resumes his speech.
"There was another reason as to why I called you here..."

"Sir?"

"Third seat Chisato...
You familiar with her?"

"I'm afraid not.
Sadly we didn't have much time to talk... but she seems nice."

"Yeah, well...
She's currently on her way to challenge 4th seat Ikkanzaka of the seventh division..."

"Jirobo?!
You mean she's... She's after the title of Kamaitachi?"

"Yeap...
'Bout time the title got passed on to someone with some actual potential if you ask me.
Jirobo only held it for so long because projectile type zanpakuto are so bloody rare!"

Hisagi thinks for a moment.
"Wait... why are you telling me this?
You don't mean..."

"Yeah.
If she wins she'll be worthy of the lieutenant position that's for sure.
I came to warn you about the new competition..."

"B-but... I..."

"Stop muttering!"
The captain draws his sword.
"I called you here to put you through the test.
If you show me you're worthy of the position then I'll order the third seat to stand down.
But it'll take a lot to impress me lieutenant..."
With a swipe of his sword the Captian activates his shikai.
"Now... COME AT ME WITH ALL YOU GOT!"

Captain Asato charges Hisagi with his sword wrapped in multi-colored flames.
The young lieutenant does his best to keep up with his captain but it proves to be quite a challange.

''What's the hold up Shuhei?!
I thought I told you to fight seriously!"

Withering the storm of blows coming from the captain Hisagi decides to disengage from him after a skillfull parry.
"I am fighting seriously!"
He jumps back and lets go of his zanpakuto with one hand and pulls it back as if he'd hurl a spear.
"Bakudo #62: Hyapporankan!''

The lieutenant then materializes a hexagonal blue-white rod of light that he then hurls at the captain.
Flying through the air the binding spell splits into a hundred more rods that all make their way to their target.
Junichi however doesn't even attempt to dodge them.

"Hado #33: Sokatsui!"
He says as he extends his arm and pale light begins to pour out from his fingertips.

Though about 30 levels lower than the bindng spell the difference in reiryoku makes that point moot.
The destructive spell manages to obliterate all of the rods and keeps going right at Shuhei who has to brace for impact.
However as he prepares to block the spell he sees the whole thing split in two as his captain charges ahead and cleaves his own Hado in half.

Taken by surprise Hisagi is incapable of defending against the attack and Junichi simply knocks his sword out of his hand.
The captain points his blade at the surprised lieutenant and begins scolding him.

"Not even bothering to release your zanpakuto while I activated my shikai...
There has to be a limit to your arrogance Hisagi!"

But the lieutenant doesn't falter even as a blade is pressed agains his throat.
"You don't fear your power, do you captain?"

"Huh?!
Is that your reason for holding back?!
What nonsense! Of course I don't!"

"I see...
Those who do not fear the sword they wield have no right to wield a sword at all!
That's what I was taught. And these are the words I chose to live by.
Say what you will about him, he was right about one thing!
One can only find peace at the path of least bloodshed!"

Hearing this Junichi extinguishes the fire wrapped around his sword and then sheathes it.
Taking a deep breath he claps his hands together and entwines his fingers.
"Bakudo #99: Kin!"

Black cloth wraps around the lieutenant and iron shafts begin to slam onto him, bringing him to the ground.
No matter how much he struggles Hisagi is incapable of moving.
Junichi then crouches down next to him and gives the man a condescending look.

"That's a very noble way of looking at things lieutenant.
But you made one... fatal... mistake..."
The captain takes out a cigarette and lights it.
"You are not allowed to think like that Hisagi Shuhei!"

He takes a lung-full of the tobacco and exhales it before continuing.
''As members of the Gotei 13 we swore on our lives to perform our duty.
It might not be just, it may not be good but it is necessary!
We are the ones maintaining the balance of the world! Never forget that!
And as soldiers we must be ready to give our all, no matter the consequences!
Your world view is not only against that task but it's outright destructive!"

The captain stands up and turns his back to Hisagi.
''On the battlefield you afford to worry about your own strength!
You must fight tooth and nail for the sake of peace!
Tell me Hisagi! If you aren't willing to use your power, if you can't even trust yourself then how could others trust you?
As a lieutenant you are the second most important person in this division! And others will inevitably look at you for orders!
Someone in your position, with such a mentality will only get your subordinates killed!"
The captain sighs.
"This means that I can't allow you to be a lieutenant!
Not only will I strip you of your position as lieutenant but I'll also make sure you remain unseated for as long as I live!
I hope I was understood!"

Hisagi grits his teeth and his rage begins to build up.
He tolerated this man insulting his ideals for long enough.
Sure they might come from a traitor and they might be flawed but he believes in them.

"Reap, Kazeshini."
Hisagi practically whispers the words and the zanpakuto that lied several feet away from him begins to glow and transform.
As the blade morphs it begins moving on its own and towards Hisagi.
Kazeshinis blade begins to shred the captains bindings apart and the lieutenant is free once more.

He jumps up full of determination and catches the shaft of the flying scythe blade.
With a shout he slams down with his zanpakuto right at his captain.
Junichi manages to block it and after deflecting the blow he gains some distance between himself and Hisagi.
Swiftly he releases his shikai once more and the two engage once more.

Hisagis attacks all have highly unpredictable and irregular movements so the scythe blades are quite hard to actually dodge.
Only with a mixture of defensive bakudo and calculated, remote explosions can the captain keep him truly at bay.
However after assessing his strength Junichi raises his hand and begins casting kido.

''Bakudo #61: Rikujokoro!
Bakudo #79: Kuyo Shibari!''

The dual bindings slam onto Hisagi, rendering him incapable of moving.
Asato walks up to him and sighs.

''You had to go ahead and make this difficult didn't you?''

Struggling to move even an inch Hisagi begins growling at him.
"With all due respect Sir!
Go fuck yourself!"

*sigh*
"Shut up lieutenant...
I decided to let you keep your post..."

"W-what?!"

"If there is one thing I hate it's wasting potential...
And if you have anything it's that.
You can keep your rank on one condition."

"Wh-what's that?"

But the captain doesn't answer him and instead takes out his denreishiki and makes a call.
"Hey Ikkaku, it's me Junichi.
I have a favor to ask...
There's this subordinate of mine that's in dire need of a bankai...
No, he doesn't know...
Yes. I'm planning on telling him and that's why I need you.
Yeah... Okay... Of course I'll treat you and Yumichika in return!
Okay. Thanks"

Omake #1: The Wasteland Hermit

Ashido Kano.
A shinigami who has lived for most of his life in the desolate land of Hueco Mundo.
For centuries he wandered this land fighting a desperate fight against the endless hordes of hollows in the vain hope that with their numbers reduced the beasts wouldn't pose as much of a threat to the world.

But it appears that his journey has come to an end on this day.
Backed up against the wall created by a cave-in he is faced by an endless horde of Gillians.
He has agreed to assists the shinigami Kuchiki Rukia in her quest to save a human girl who's held captive in Las Noches.
After escorting her safely to the exit of the Forest of Menos the Menos Grande went berserk and caused the cave system to collapse under its own weight from the repeated blasts of hundreds of ceros.

Normally a bunch of gillians wouldn't be much of a problem to him but since he's been fighting a group of Adjuchas class hollows known as the Guardians of the Forest he's too exhausted to keep going.

"It's the end of the line for you ASHIDO!"
The adjuchas herding the gillians shouts at him.
"I'll avenge the boss and bring your head to lord Aizen myself!"
He then lowers his raised right hand and gives the order.
"GILLIANS! FIRE!"

All of the lesser Menos open their mouths and begin collecting reishi in their mouth.
Crimson light begins to illuminate everything as the large hollow mask in Ashidos hand begins to crumble.
He smiles to himself and begins mumbling.

"I guess it's really the end for me...
Heh... sorry my friend...
Looks like you'll have to finish this alone."

And just as he said that the crimson light becomes blinding and he closes his eyes, waiting for the inevitable end.
The typical sound of a Cero explosion can be heard and strangely enough Ashido still feels relatively alive afterwards.
Slowly he opens his eyes and to his shock where there was an army of Menos mere moments ago, now there was nothing.

His eyes desperately search for answers until he sets his sight on a figure in a shrouded figure, wearing brown and tattered pieces of cloth.
The mysterious figure slowly walks up to him and begins speaking.

"Ashido...
You've been careless."
The hooded figure pulls back his cowl, revealing the face of Ashidos friend.

"Kaizar!
Reiō damn it! You are a sight for sore eyes!"
He smiles happily and grabs the hand of his friend who helps him up.

"What happened Ashido?
You've been gone for hours so I thought you ran into trouble.
But damn... I wasn't expecting this!"

The shinigami puts back on one of his stolen hollow masks and speaks.
"I found others.
A group of shinigami and humans have come here.
They are headed for Last Noches..."

"Humans? Here?
And Las Noches?
Does that mean what I think it means?"

"Yes.
Aizen is making his move.
It's time!"

Kaizar puts his hood back on to cover his completely human face.
His eyes go black as he speaks.
"Well then...
It's time to wreak some havoc!"

The two figures made then made their way to the fortress of Las Noches.
The labyrinthine structure posed many challenges to them.
Rooms filled to the brims with soldiers, deadly traps or a mixture of the two all located within the confusingly laid out rooms.

However once they finally found their way into the heart of the complex things got much easier to do.
The first thing Kaizar found was a particularly strong Arrancar that just now mutilated one of his own kind and he's currently in the process of doing the same to the intruders.

But before he could slam his overly large weapon down on the boy of Mexican-Japanese origins Kaizar swooped in and stopped the blade with his bare hands.

"If you're looking for a fight that badly then how about you pick someone your own size?"
He speaks in his reverberating voice, his eyes practically glowing in black and golden light.

The arrancar pulls his weapon back and gains some distance.
"Who the hell are you?
Just another ant coming to save his friend?
No... That's not it. Ye'r strong!
What's you name?"

The hooded figure leans heavily on his staff as he speaks.
"Kaizar... Kaizar Soize..."

The large arrancars eyes grow narrower.
"The traitor..."
He lets out a loud cackling noise.
"Ohoho! This is great!
If I deliver the head of the Hermit to him then Master Aizen will surely reward me with even more power!"
He raises his weapon once more.
"Are you ready to do this you traitor?"

"Sure... But you'd do wisely to tell me your name.
It'd be a shame for you to be nothing more than a nameless casualty in this pointless war."

The arrancar charges him and shouts as he raises his weapon.
"Quinto Espada! Nnoitora Gilga!"

Kaizar raises his staff to intercept the large axe.
Strangely enough as the two weapons connect the Hermits "wooden" staff seems to overcome Nnoitoras over large blade.
As if metal hit metal a sharp sound can be heard as the heavy, two handed zanpakuto bounces off the simple walking stick.

Kaizars eye flashes with murderous intent and he swings his trusty armament.
While traveling through the air however the staff morphs into a proper sword and it not only cleaves Nnoitora clean in half it also manages to cut through the steel of Santa Teresa as well.

The arrancar can't believe what he sees as his torso falls to the ground and quickly bleeds out.
"I'll make sure to give you a proper funeral, Nnoitora Gilga..."

All the humans that were looking have their mouths agape as they see this spectacle.
"W-who's that?!
An arrancar?"

"Hmmm?
Arrancar?
I'm afraid not human... I'm something much more..."

>>923858
So much power, YIKES

>>924073
Go shill elsewhere

>>923858

When I was binging this Quest, I was so sad we never went Vasto+. Seize the glory!

I guess if it meant losing our friends and allies it may not have been worth it, but still.

Though, I suppose we would have kept our little friends all the time, instead of only in Release.

>>923858
>tfw you missed the vote and you could've gone the path

>>924125
I have no idea what you are talking about, I can't find any information on the form after Vasto, why would we have to lose all of our friends to achieve it?

Because Aizen would kill them?

>>924177
From the omake apparently we've ditched them to become a hermit. And I believe we were told that going Vasto+ would have endangered everything we worked for, although I'm going off memory for that one.

>>924125
Remember, the einherjar were stated to be capable of returning things to a previous soul state.
With both the hogyoku and einherjar working for us, it should actually be very possible for us to revert the arrancar transformation and become a vasto+. Or, perhaps with the hogyoku's power...maybe someday we can do the impossible and combine vasto+ and the shinigami-like abilities of arrancar.

>>924237
Oh believe me, I'm still hoping that comes to pass. I'm not too optimistic though, since Kaiser has vowed to use the Hogyoku to help others, not himself.

>>924242
At least in canon, the hogyoku is unconcerned with the consent of the wisher. So long as a desire is present, deep within a heart, whether or not you acknowledge it...the hogyoku will try to fulfil it. And kaizar is very much a man who wants to be able to protect what he cares about.
So, worry not. He isn't even fully the master of it yet, so there is time for it to work.

>>924250
Oh believe me the only reason why the Hogyoku hasn't gone haywire like it did with Aizen is that it'd piss Kaizar the fuck off

And not even the magical, genie plot-rock wants that

>>924252
I just had a strange thought.
Could the einherjar unmake the hogyoku?

>>924268
A good question.

They can't, actually.

>>924252
How strong are the bount that Kaiser can sense? Because Kaiser should be able to tell that they have basically no chance.

>>924252
>Plot Rock is more scared of Kaizar then Aizen
>nervous giggles.jpg.

>>924287
Considering that the Bounts had to remain largely hidden for hundreds of years they managed to develop quite good stealth techniques.

Because of this Kaizar has a hard time actually judging their power levels but based purely on their movements, behavior and stance it's painfully obvious that they are nowhere near as powerful as he is.

A few of them might be dangerous, such as Koga who literally used his immortality to get swole and unlock his true potential but even with that his body is still human and as such vastly inferior to an arrancar

>>924340
But they basically have no chance to actually defeat the SS?

>>924340
Would the Bount be able to hybridise with any of the other Bleach races?

>>925415
Well, they're unable to reproduce so no.
On the other hand, Hogyuoku exists so that might be a bit of a formality.

>>925445
>Hollow/Bount super soul sucker hybrids
>Bount/Quincies tearing the soul out of mooks to stab their commanders with literal spirit weapons
>Bount/Fullbringers are MASTERS OF SOUL SHAPING

>>925816
We might need to invent a term for hao and his type of abilities. He isn't a shinigami, nor a bount, nor a fullbringer, nor a quincy, nor a hollow.
Maybe Kami? A bit generic, but fitting.

>>927749

Spirit Ditto, cause he's a formless mass of pure bullshit.

That and the fact that he makes babies happen when they shouldn't be possible.

>>927803
My other suggestion would be something related to djinn, but Im honestly having a hard time finding the jap terms for that shit. a damn shame, because his whole deal reminds me of genies.

Then again, spirit Mexico doesn't use jap terms, so...maybe it'd be fine to straight up call him something that isn't japanese in origin.

Fourth seat of the fourth division Zaraki Yamato is an ambitious shinigami, always was.
Throughout the division barracks he's well respected and liked by most.
But he's also something of an oddity among his peers.

He passed his exams at the Shin'ō academy with flying colors and got at least one recommendation from an instructor in all four or the shinigami combat forms.
His record was so flawless that he put many nobles to shame and as such received invitation from every single combat oriented division.
But despite that he refused all those invitations and instead went and applied for a position in the fourth division of all places.

This act alone made him a rarity amongst all shinigami.
Over the years he managed to add Kaido to his already impressive repertoire and within a few decades he even climbed up to the position of fourth seat.
Many viewed him as an upstart and even envied him but none dared to question his skill, for he was one of the few people in the entire division who actually has some combat proficiency.

After a particularly tiring day of patching up members of the 11th division who got more carried away than usual during training he wipes the sweat off his brow and sits down in the barrack gardens.
He's quietly sipping his tea under a blooming cherry blossom as his closest friend and superior, Yamada Hanatarō, sits down next to him.

''Oh dear...
That was... too much..."
The young shinigami collapses under the trees shade.

''Yeah...
Captain Zaraki is getting out of hand...
That was the sixth time this month!''

"Owwwww!"
Yamada moans in pain.
"The worst part is that they are so rude!
It's always the same thing: "Patch me up faster!" and "Hurry up already!''
And no matter how many times I tell them that they need to rest they just go out and get injured again!''

Yamato sips some more of his tea and sticks his tongue out in disgust.
"You still get that?
I told you to step up Hanatarō!
They'll keep treating you like dirt if you don't man up and face them!''

''That's easy for you to say...
I'm not as strong as you are!''

''My ass!
I've seen your Zanpakuto! And it's nothing to laugh at!
You have great potential third seat! I just know it!''
Then he takes another sip of green tea and almost spits it out in disgust.

''What are you even doing? You hate that stuff!
This way it's only going to go to waste!"

"I'm trying to habituate myself.
Unless I get used to this I'm gonna go crazy if I can't drink tea anymore!''

Then Hanatarō jumps up as if struck by lightning.
''Oh right!
Speaking of tea, Lieutenant Kotetsu has been looking for you!''

He looks at his friend and raises an eyebrow.
''Isane?''
Then his expression goes sour.
''Ugh...
I bet the Shinigami Womens Association needs someone to do their chores for them...
Again!''

''You'd better hurry!"

Then Yamato springs up and tosses his cup to his superior who clumsily but catches it from the air.

As Yamato walks the halls of the barracks he looks around and takes in the scenery.
The medical ward is where he always felt at home.That's the reason why he became a doctor in his life.
However with the Second Great War came some very hard times.
While life wasn't necessarily rosy before it things got really out of hand afterwards.

When the German war machine started its recruitment he was drafted in very quickly and was given rudimentary training so he could be a battlefield medic.
It was a harsh life, full of misery and pain.
But luckily or unfortunately, depending on who you ask, he was sent back home relatively quickly thanks to an unfortunate incident with a land mine that he stepped on while dragging an injured soldier back to the trenches.
The poor guy who got critically wounded didn't make it and Yamato, back then he was called Siegfried Krieger, survived but at the cost of his right leg.

At first he was really torn about the incident but he his anguish slowly faded away once he realized that he'd be sent home just in time for the birth of his child.
It was the happiest few moments of his life when he could hold his firstborn son in his hand alongside his wife Rike Krieger.
Sadly their happiness was not meant to last as all three of them lost their lives mere moments later when the allied forces bombed Berlin.

Their only solace was the fact that it was over relatively quickly as the bombs detonation took them all out in an instant.
But what happened afterwards nobody could expect.
The fated pair were stranded in the living world, held there by their pure affection for the other.
However that was not true to their child as he passed onto the afterlife peacefully while his parents remained chained to the mortal realm.

Days turned into weeks as the pair slowly anguished over their death and the disappearance of their child until their sorrowed wailings caught the attention of something.
A hollow, a twisted and perverted soul that was once man heard their cries and its hunger was awakened once more.
The beast ambushed them in order to devour their eternal souls.

This foul creature was inevitably slain by a shinigami but not before Rike was already killed by it.
The soul reaper then explained to Siegfried the natural order of the world and afterwards sent him to his new home, the Soul Society.

Within the infinitely stretching plains of this feudal world he was thrust into its greatest slum.
The Zaraki district, where all scraps of humanity are eradicated from men until just an animal remains.
Thrown from one war to the next Krieger was forced to grow stronger in this very harsh environment until one day he was found by another Soul Reaper who sensed his latent spiritual potential.

And the rest is history.

''Damn that Isane!''
Yamato grumbled to himself on his way to the lieutenants office.
Isane Kotetsu was the lieutenant of squad four and although her position was well above that of Yamatos the two were on very friendly terms to the point where they referred to each other by their first name, without any honorifics.

But what the young shinigami didn't know was the fact that he was being spied on.
A shadow jumped from rooftop to rooftop, impossible to see for the untrained eye.
However after the first few jumps Yamato took notice of it and something completely unrelated.
The part of the barracks that he was in appeared to be completely empty.

The young shinigami put one hand on the hilt of his sword and turned towards the open central area of the building.
"Who's there?
Show yourself!"

As his eyes looked around searching for the intruder he caught a glimpse of the sneaks attire.
Yamato prepared to draw his blade but his hand froze in place as the mysterious figure revealed itself.
"I-It can't be!"
Yamatos voice cracked as he struggled to form words with his mouth.
"RIKE!"

The figure who bore a striking resemblance to his former wife stepped forward.
"My warrior. Finally I've found you..."
Her face, her hair, her posture and even her presence felt the same. The only slight oddity was the presence of a hole in her chest and some sort of white porcelain structure on her forehead in the shape of a horn.

Yamato felt like he could choke on his own tongue at any moment.
"W-w-w-what?
It's you! It really IS YOU!"

He let go of his sword and began charging his wife with open arms.
But he quickly has to stop as Rike drew a sword on him.
"DON'T GET ANY CLOSER!"
She screamed at him with tears trickling down her face.
"NOT ONE STEP MORE!
DON'T MAKE THIS HARDER THAN IT HAS TO BE!"

"R-Rike?"

She wipes the tears from her face and continues.
"L-look... I came here because I heard that you might be here and...
And if it was true I had to warn you! Your life is in danger!
At this moment there are plans in motion that are so inconceivable you'd never be able to grasp them!"
She points to her chest where her hole is.
"Look! I'm a hollow, you're a shinigami! We are each others enemies just because of that!
But even so... I had to come here! Leave this place! Leave and never look back least..."
Her tears begin flowing once more.
"LEAST YOU GET SWEPT UP IN THEM AND GET HURT!"
She burst out and begins sobbing.

Yamato swallows hard and starts walking up to her to which Rike responds violently.
"I TOLD YOU TO DON'T MOVE!
ONE MORE STEP AND I'LL KILL YOU, I SWEAR!"

Yamato... no. Krieger grabs hold of his zanpakuto and drops it to the ground.
Then he grabs Rikes blade with his bare hand so hard that he begins to bleed.
"What are you talking about Tulip?
You've never hurt a fly in your life."

The way he said that with his bright smile was the final nail in the coffin and Rike couldn't muster the strength to hold her sword up anymore.

As her sword clatters on the ground she breaks down and finally jumps in Kriegers arm who after managing to hold himself together also lets his tears run freely.
"W-Welcome back Rike!"
He runs his fingers through her hair and takes in her smell.
He sobs and tries to speak up.
"I've- I've missed you so... so much!"

She buries her face in her husbands chest and bawls her eyes out.
"Idiot!
I wanted to keep you out of trouble!
Now look at us! This won't end well! IDIOT!"

He pulls her free and looks in her eyes.
"I don't care Rike!
Every waking moment I thought about you!
I never believed that accursed shinigami who told me you were dead and gone!
So I searched. I scoured this infinite hellscape every moment I could because I believed I'd find you one day!
If I was willing to search for all eternity then I'm willing to face anyone and anything that'd separate us!"

Rike wipes her tears away and looks her husband in the eye.
After sniffing a few times she speaks up.
"Idiot...
You'll soon see just how many things that means!"

While angry at Krieger her worries and sadness wash away in mere moments as she looks at her husband and gets lost in feelings of bliss.
She embraces him and begins praying that this moment would last forever.
And while these two souls might have been reunited after decades of separation their great trials are only about to begin.
For the sake of their love they'll have to face Gods of Death, true monsters, the harbingers of Heaven and even the Creator of all things himself.

Can they beat such odds?
Will they be finally at peace after their trials?
Nobody knows.

Omake ideas:

Bonus omake Marr the oldest shinigami ever.

OMG explaining to Bayakuya why having your sword nailed to the division mess hall wall is unacceptable behavior for a captain.

I think bayakuya discovering his sword in the canteen and taking it down while everyone watches would be better

This kills the nobleman

Omake #3: The Wedding

Kaizar Soize is currently standing in a room before a standing mirror and adjusting his tie in preparation for his upcoming wedding.
After the finishing touches are done he takes a step back and takes a good look at himself.

He takes a deep breath and speaks up.
''Ah yes!
Now this is what separates a man from a boy!
A proper suit!''

Yata Garasu who is sitting in a corner while sipping from his flask scoffs at this.
"And ya better fuckin' appreciate it!
Do you have ANY idea just how hard it was to make a black suit?!
I had to search for no less than THREE squid based hollows to get enough ink for the damn things!"
He says so as he chugs some more ethanol.

"Ah don't listen to 'im Boss!
You look great!"

"Thanks Pesci."

You look at your friend and afterwards look over all of your grooms men.
It was difficult to select only a few of your friends to be present at this event but in the end you had to do it.
While Yata keeps drinking and Pesci desperately trying to talk him out of it the others are occupying themselves via other means.
Dante keeps tossing a coin in the air and catching it, Aaroniero seems to be busy with a piece of paper you haven't seen before and Nnoitora is quietly skulking in a corner.

"I hate wearing this...
I want my jacket back...
Fuck that traitorous jack-ass Tesra!"

Dante looks up at that.
"You're still on about that?
It's not like he could refuse grannies request to be an "honorary bridesmaid"."
Nnoitora simply puffs his cheeks at that and keeps grumbling on his lonesome.

You can't help but chuckle at their banter.
For decades these guys have been with you through thick and thin.
It'd be an understatement that you'd put your life in their hands.

As you laugh to yourself Pesci looks at you and asks something.
"So... How are ya' feelin' Boss?"

>Anxious
>Excited
>Other? (write-in)

Write-ins are heavily encouraged.
Also:

>Pick who was picked to be the best man.

>>936460
>>Excited
Pesche obviously.

>>936460
>Like a teenage highschool girl getting the prom queen pick.

>Fucking Starrk, Pig boy [The guy who helpped us find food and was cool with us] and Yata. Not in this order, and we're Hollows fuck the rules, she has like 3

>>936460
>I feel like it's the night before my first blitzkrieg all over

>>936460
>Excited
>Pesci
I feel like we havnt seen pigbro in forever. In the beginning he was our faithful sidekick but hes never around anymore.

>>936460
So we have a best man pretty much locked in, but whos the priest and shit? Nnoitra, who was one?

>>937176
Asher could do it

>>938573
My sides
It'd be pretty hilarious for either of them.
Bonus points for altar boy dante

''I haven't felt this excited since the first days of the blitz Pesci!''

The young Dante looks at you as he stops his coin tossing for a few moments.
''Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that fucked up to say?''

Yata finishes up his flask and looks at the young boy.
*hic*
''Yeah... it is.''
He then walks up to him and lifts him up by the back of his collar.
"And don't you fuckin' talk like that or I'll disinfect your mouth hole again boy!"
The inebriated Yata puts him back down and signals everyone to move out of the room.
"Okay losers, we've wasted enough time already.
Now get your shit together and move it!"

All of them except Pesci leave the building.
"Ready Boss?"
He asks you.

"Yeah...
And Pesci."

"Hmmm?"

"Thanks.
For everything."

"There's nothing to thank Boss.
You're the one who saved me back then, remember?
Now let's go before we miss your wedding.''

The two of you then gathered around in a secluded hall that was built for this specific purpose.
A tiny wooden building decorated to the brim with flowers and seating all of your closest friends.
Other than your groomsmen and the Tres Bestias, Tesra and Neliel who serve as Tias bridesmaids there are a few others present.
Dorddoni, Gantenbainne, Cirucci, Starrk, Lilynette and Alex all got first row seats for the affair (since there is no second row).

With Pesci at your side and your Groomsman a few feet away from him you can barely stand the wait.
Yata still bit tipsy walks up to the podium and takes his place as the "priest".
Then you finally see it.

The door opens and reveals Harribel wearing a grass skirt and various assortments of flowers as her accessories.
Wrapped around her chest is a piece of cloth and you see a single blue flower in her hair.
Behind her are her bridesmaids who don't actually have much of a job since she has no actual skirt or gown that needs carrying.
She slowly walks up to you and your heartrate skyrockets.

As she takes her spot next to you she whispers something to you.
"Sorry about the dress.
I just felt it'd be more... personal if I made it.''
Now that she mentions it you've seen her making something along the lines of a grass skirt a few weeks ago. But you never would have imagined this is what she had in mind for it.

''You look stunning!''
You reply.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uLPjiITqqY

But as you spoke to her Yata began clearing his throat.
Almost immediately Mila Rose started glaring at him with her typical ''You screw this up and you sleep on the couch'' stare.

''Honored guests!
We've gathered here on this day to witness these two individuals binding their lives together in holy unity.
May this exchange of vows bring them endless joy and peace!
Do you, Kaizar Soize, swear to be eternally faithful to your wife?
Will you remain at her side in times of both good and bad?"

"I will!"

"Do you, Tier Harribel, vow to share all you have with him?
Will you be his support at his weakest and the one with whom he celebrates at his greatest?"

"I will."

"Will you share the burden of life together and walk the long road ahead of you side by side?
From now on until the end of this life?"

You two speak in harmony.
"We will."

He looks away from you at the crowd and resumes his speech.
"Is there anyone anyone among you who objects to these two conjoining their lives?
If so then speak up now or stay in silence forever!"

Nobody says a word and the only thing you hear are the quiet sniffing of some of the ladies present.
"Very well. Then I-"

At that moment you hear someone kicking down the front door and a female voice speaks up.
"OBJECTION!"

You see Aimee Morris standing in the doorframe with the biggest shit eating grin on her face.
No doubt the only thing she wanted was to ruin the mood, which she did.
However since neither of you are willing to put up with her shit you and Harribel throw a small globe of energy at Aimee.
As the two balls connect in the air they entwine and form a much bigger ball that detonates in Aimees face, sending her flying through the sky.

Yata wipes some sweat off of his forehead and lets out a sigh of relief.
"Well then...
By the power bestowed upon me by those that are present I declare you two Husband and Wife.
You may kiss the bride."
He then walks away from the podium grumbling something incoherent.
"Fucking jackass gaijin makin' me the pries-"

Without further interruptions you kiss your wife after a brief little exchange of chuckles and the crowd goes wild.
Those struggling with their tears up until now can't hold them back any longer and those who simply watched quietly either start clapping or whistling.

As your lips part from Harribels she stays close to your face and stares intently in your eyes.
''I love you!''
She speaks in a soft tone.

You can't help but smile.
''Thank you.''

She chuckles.
''You're supposed to say: I love you too!''

''No, I mean thank you for having me.
And thank you for saving me Dear...
I love you.''

As you hold her hands however she moves her hand and places something in yours.
When you open your palm you see a small, carved wooden ring with what appears to be a shark tooth embedded in it.
You look up and see Tia pointing at a small crack that's almost completely healed on her mask.
''Now you can also carry a piece of me with you at all times."

You smile and turn to face the crowd while still holding onto Tias hand.
At that moment Apacci waltzes in front of you and speaks up.

"Okay listen...
Just because you're now with the Mistress it doesn't mean I'll treat you differently!
You got that?!"

That's perhaps the thing you loved most about Apacci and the Tres.
They might be harsh, crude and often loud but deep down they are good people and they always stay true to themselves.
With a warm smile you pat Apaccis head and ruffle her hair.
"Wouldn't have it any other way Apacci!"

She blushes and tears your hand away from her.
"Jeez! I can't even tease you like this!
Get out of my face you idiot!"

She walks away and as you laugh with Harribel you see Apacci returning to Sung-Sun while a bit further away from them you see Mila Rose patting Yata on the back and congratulating him.
You predict great things in his future.

As your eyes wander through the crowd looking for other friends to talk with you catch a glimpse of Starrk talking with his Fracción.
"Look just give me the sword already!"

"Not gonna happen unless you tell me what you want it for!"

"Why you!"

But as you are about to ask what's going on with him Aaroniero walks up to you.
"I suppose congratulations are in order.
But I recommend we proceed with the celebration before we do any of that."

"Yeah...
I guess you're right Aaroniero.
Let's leave."

He turns his back to you and begins walking in front of you.
"Please follow me."

Raising an eyebrow at that you follow him through the entrance that's closed for some reason.
Aaroniero fiddles around with the lock a bit before opening the door and revealing his surprise.
As you step out you see a bunch of arrancars with their sword drawn before you and forming an arch for you to walk under.

You look at old Jarhead in surprise.
"You did this?"

"I thought you might like it so I asked a favor from the exequias."
Now that he mentions it you see Starrk among them holding what appears to be Lillynettes scimitar.

You thank Aaroniero for his gift and walk under the arch of swords with Harribel.
When you're done you see everyone lined up behind you and clapping for you.
Tia then chuckles and takes the sole flower out of her hair and tosses it in the crowd.
To your surprise it was Mila Rose that caught Harribels "bouquet" and now she's waving it in Yatas face.
The good Doctor merely sighs and reaches for his canteen once more.

After the official ceremony has ended you and your friends made your way to the base of the great tree where the celebrations raged on for a whole 24 hours before things started to die out and even then you made a considerable dent in both the food stockpiles and your alcohol reserves.

The only thing you regret about the whole thing was that you had to dance a lot with Harribel while it's no secret that you were born with two left feet.

>>933597
these are actually some pretty neat ideas.

I was wondering when that cunt would show up again.

I really wanna see the quincy whelps aftermath of meeting us, surprized his father never told him the story behind his encounter with us
