You slowly slide your finger along the edge of the table.
As you walk around the map you look at it very carefully.
In your mind you can practically see how the events unfolded.
Then you stop.

"I was just at the 4th division.
Anyone that wasn't outright dead should've recovered completely.
We won't let the Quincy pull any tricks like that again.
I want every bit of information that we DID manage to get."

Kariya raises his hand.
"Actually... I believe my people have a rough estimate on the enemies numbers."
You raise an eyebrow at that.
"I'm referring to those so called Sternritter.
Judging by the number of higher than average spiritual pressures that we detected... I'd say there.
Due to their relatively low number I think it's safe to assume that they are using the English alphabet and not, for example, the German one.
So in theory they should only have 27 men that are a threat to us."

"But that's just speculation..."
Aaroniero responds to that.
"It'd be foolish to-"

"It doesn't matter how many of them there are."
You slam your hand into the table.
"What matters is that we take care of them!
And here is how..."

Following that you gave your generals a very detailed explanation of the abilities of Quilge Opie.
You told them about what Blue is and how it exactly functions, what its weakness is.
You went into great detail about Sklaverei and Ransotengai.

"You got that?
I want every single soldier to know this: If you aren't taking hostages then double tap. ALWAYS!"

"Got it Chief.
My boys know what they are doin'.
They'll be fine."

"But that still leaves the issue of our troop movements.
And without the Calaveras we don't have the manpower to cover the entire Seireitei."
Jin adds.

You grin at that.
"Not true.
I already fixed that issue.
We have plenty of soldiers."

However while that may be true they still need to be deployed.
Which is what you haven't really decided yet.

"Whether the shinigami will like it or not is not important anymore...
Unless they want to face massive casualties they'll have to accept our help..."
You mutter to yourself and then slam on the table.
"OKAY!
Send people out to each division.
If the enemy want to play like that then we'll indulge them.
I want at least every 3 groups of reapers accompanied by one of our battalions.
Can we do that Alistair?"

He begins scratching his head.
"Uhhhh...
I'll see what we can do.
We might be stretchin our own ass too wide though.
If you know what I'm sayin'."

"Can't you just order Rudbornn to make more soldiers?"
Tia asks him.

"Even he has a limit to how many he can have at once."
Alistair replies.
"Ask everyones favorite dog boy about the bad side effects of fragmenting your own mind and you'll get it."

While this is going on you called Jin and Aaroniero aside and began discussing the plan itself.
"So what do you say?
Can you do it?"

"Hmph... coordination should be easy.
Our men were trained well.
It's just too bad that up until now we've been preparing for a defensive war against the same people they are about to protect..."

"Just tell them to swallow their pride and do it.
I bet they'll relish the chance to gloat to the shinigami."
Then you turn your attention to Jin.
"How about you? You wanted to get revenge on the shinigami for what they did to you.
Can we count on you?"

"Please don't look down on my people like that.
You can on me but that's different.
I won't just toss away our new life for an old grudge and I'm certain none of my fellows will either.
Besides... you said it yourself. There is no greater insult to the shinigami than them owing us one."

You nod at that.
"Good to hear.
Now-"

But before you can say any more than that you feel a buzzing sensation from one of your pockets.
"Excuse me..."
As you rummage through your pockets for the exact communicator that's needed you send the others off.
"Kaizar."

You speak to the denreishiki once you manage to retrieve it.

"Moshi Moshi you mother fucker."

"Oh... Yata.
What's up?"

"The zoophiliac got a call from the grimalkin.
How did it go?"

"Bad. We are still dancing to the Quincys tune.
Many casualties on the shinigami side and we accomplished very little in the process.
Also... they can steal bankai."

"Yeah... we also heard about that.
The child rapist is currently working on that while I'm handling the Quincy.
...
And I found something that might be interesting to you."

"Shoot."

You hear Yata sighing on the other end and the sound of blood splattering as he no doubt just chopped into the Arrancar you gave him.
"That sample you sent...
Was it really from the head honcho?"

"Yes.
Is there a problem with it?"

"Hmmmm... Dunno.
Dissecting a fuckers blood cells takes long ya' know.
But I did find something when I cross examined it alongside the hollow.
I think I finally cracked the source of the Quincys power."

That got your attention.
"Come again?"

"I thought it to be nothing at first buuuut...
Turns out these little nazi cosplayers have an unusually high amount of silver in their blood.
And with their hard on for the stuff I think it's safe to assume that's what conducts their energy."

"That's great and all but...
How is that useful for us?
Is it magnetic?"

"No..."

"Wait... isn't that toxic?"

"No... Yes... it's complicated. Normally it isn't 'lethal' but having this much in your system and it not showing on your skin is... strange.
Their own powers must be keeping it from harming them or...
Listen, that's not the point!
If we know what makes them tick then we can work around it...
But not right now. This is still just a hypothesis. I must examine it more.
Will update you if I find out more... In the meantime I'd appreciate some more *ahem* fresh specimen.
This one is just about used up."

"Not making any promises.
Quincy are notoriously self cleaning around our forces.
But I'll see what I can do."

" 'Kay...
Yata out."
With a click of his device he hungs up on you.

Turning back to those that participated in the meeting you see that most of them have already moved on to do what must be done with the exception of your wife.

"What did Yata want?"

"He asked for more samples.
Apparently he's getting somewhere."

"That's good...
Well I think it's about time I head out as well."

She comes in closer to you and wraps her arms around you.
Returning her hug you whisper in her ears.
"Be careful out there, okay?"

"You too..."
She then separates from you and walks off.

With a crack of your knuckles you also begin preparing for your departure.

Now with things being on their way it's time you went out and checked on that 'grimalkin' Yata talked about.
But that's easier said than done.
Without knowing where she is or where she is headed it'll be difficult to find her.

"Wait a moment."
You begin to wonder about the issue but you quickly recall what Aaroniero just said not too long ago.
Raising up your hand you extend one finger and press it into the ground, sending out a pulse of reiryoku with it.
The tiny arc crawls along the ground checking every individual spiritual signature and moves on once you conclude that the signature doesn't match.

You frow your brows as you get more and more frustrated.
But eventually you find it.
"The 1st division?
What are you planning grimalkin?"

Feeling smug about finding her you go full stealth mode and follow her signal as fast as you can.
It takes a few minutes for you to reach her and when you do you feel particularly cheeky.
As she's lying on her stomach atop the brick roof of a nearby building you hear her calling out to you.

"That's close enough.
What are you doing here?
Or more importantly... how did you find me?"

"Predatory abilities honed to a razors edge through years of conscious effort.
...
More importantly, what are you doing here?"

She grumbles to herself something that you can't quite make out.
"I'm stuck..."

"What?"

"I told you that I wanted to check out the archives of every noble house.
Mine and Byakuya boys were easy. The old Shiba house has been deserted ever since they fell from grace.
Breaking into an old and abandoned place is easy.
The Raigo however... that was a tough nut to crack.
I had to infiltrate the Kido Corps headquarters and bypass the metric fuckton of guards wasn't exactly simple.
But this...
This is insane"

"Why? What's wrong?"

"I've checked every nook and cranny of the Seireitei.
I couldn't even find a trace of them!"

You frown at that.
"How is that possible?"

"They were always an enigmatic bunch.
I've told you once.
The Raigo were reclusive but these..."
She then lowers her voice.
"God damn Tsunayashiro bastards."

File: yoruichiii.jpg (22 KB, 450x335)

"Tsuna-"

"Tsunayashiro...
They were almost kind of an in-joke amongst nobles.
Hardly anyone has ever seen one.
I even heard that sometimes they mingle amongst the 'common folk' without ever revealing their family name.
So there were even times when people suspected their loved ones for being a Tsunayashiro.
Heck for most of my life I just laughed when someone mentioned them..."

"But now?"

She clenches her fist.
"Now I've read four fifths of the story... and unless I learn the whole truth I'll go mad!"

"Why? What's wrong?"

Yoruichi appears to be practically boiling with rage.
"I... didn't find much on the Quincy themselves.
Only that they are related to the Soul King in some way...
Do you understand that? The archives that supposedly contain all the Seireiteis knowledge are LACKING.
This smells like bullshit!"

She then bites her lips as if to stop herself from speaking.
"And?"
You ask her.

"And I actually did find something.
Stuff about the Soul King. Nothing concrete... but the implications alone are making me want to punch something. Hard!
Once I get in there things should be clearer.
...
You see. The Tsunayashiros are the ones who have all knowledge relating to the Soul King...
And if the rumors are to be believed: All other Gods."

That one tidbit got you interested.
Immediately you shift your focus from Yoruichi and at the 1st Division compound.
"So... what's the plan?"

"I searched every nook and cranny of the Seireitei.
The only place they could be hiding."
She points forward.
"Is there.
In Muken."

You raise your eyebrow at that.
"Isn't that a prison?"

"Yes...
One that supposedly stretches on infinitely.
If they love being hidden then that's the best place I can imagine."

You kneel down next to her.
"And I assume that asking for entry is not an option."

She looks at you and it appears that most of her anger has vanished and got replaced by an almost childlike mischievous grin.
"What do you say?
Not many people can claim that they almost sneaked up on me.
How about a little race?"

Whoops. Spent too long gooing Yoruichi in the face, it seems.

"No Yoruichi.
While I'd accept under most circumstances there are lives at stake."
Then you raise your hand and form a large globe of mucus in it.

"Don't you dare."

But without responding to her you just throw the ball on her, drenching her with the stuff.
"Sorry. Couldn't hear you."

"Liar..."

"Stop crying. I'll make it up to you."
Then you make your way to the edge of the roof and look down.
"Let's go."

Quickly you vanish from sight and Yoruichi grumbles as your goo soaks her clothes.
"Fine..."

She follows your example and the two of you make your way into the compound with speed rather than finesse.
The only thing the guards notice is a powerful gust of wind and by the time they notice it you are already inside.
Making your way down the shaft you punch a hole straight through the elevator and within moments you are already down at the lowest level.

Upon your landing a great cloud of dust blows open the elevator doors and the two shinigami guarding the entrance look at you in surprise.
They raise their staffs at the two figures that are emerging from the ruined elevator shaft.

"W-Who are-"

But before he could finish what he had to say you simply grabbed his head and headbutted him hard enough to knock him out cold.
"Sorry about that."
You turn to the other one who is already charging you.
Quickly you twist the weapon out of his hand and give him the same treatment.
"Just take a nap."

"Now I get where that bratty grandson of yours gets his love for cheesy one liners."

"Can't I indulge myself once in a while?"
Then you turn around and stare deep into the abyss.
"Now let's go. We have much ground to cover.
Besides... I promised to pay you back."

"Huh?"

"I'll share what I know about the Gods..."

"Oh..."

As you are walking through the place you hear Yoruichi complaining behind you.
"You'd think that someone who is part cat would see well in the dark...
But this is just ridiculous."

"I don't know. For me it's not so bad.
Guess my eyes are used to lower light levels."

"So anyway...
What was that about the Gods?"

"Hmmm...
Well it's just as it sounds.
I have some insight to their inner workings from a reliable source.
Though I can not say much about the Soul King other than that it wasn't always around."

"Tch... damn it."

"What's wrong?"

"I was hoping that what the records said were false.
Guess it was too much to ask for."

"No... it's understandable.
Realizing that the thing you believed in your entire life is fake can be quite hard to get over.
Trust me I know.
Even I was a bit taken back by the fact that the Soul King is artificial."

"I see...
Then... you have knowledge about other gods?"

You nod.
"I have in depth details about only one but I know of the existence of others.
Supposedly Hell is not merely a realm but a God itself. Then there is the Beast King that governs the Beast Realm."

"Then that means Hueco Mundo-"

"Yes. It has one as well.
I just call it End but I doubt it even has a name.
That thing resides in the deepest, darkest pit of Hueco Mundo.
It was him that told me all of this.
Said that the Soul King is some sort of an Original Sin and the creation of the shinigami."

"Just to solidify their power...
That checks out then."
Yoruichi clenches her fists once more.
"I don't know whether I should be mad or thankful that my clan attempted to bury the truth..."

"Ignorance sure is a bliss."

"That's too true.
Also... if that is the case then Aizen-"

"I try not to think about it.
Whether or not he was right doesn't matter.
The man was a bastard that needed to be killed.
I feel no remorse about that...
Speaking of things that need killing."

You stop quickly and Yoruichi does the same.
Crouching down you focus your eyes and just manage to pick up the outlines of a massive pagoda off in the distance.
The structure is big but nowhere near the size of the Shrine of Penitence.

"They don't appear to be alert."

"We leak out no reiatsu and we are experts at stealth.
I'd be surprised if they did.
So... how do you want to do this?
Loud or not?"

"Honestly I'd rather avoid picking a fight with these guys.
Even though I really want to punch them in the face.
Maybe I'll do it on the way out.
You?"

"I agree.
We can always demolish the building after we're done.
No need to get more unwanted attention than that."

"Wait!"
She gives you an order.
"Goo me again."

"What?"

"Do it again. I have a plan."

Deciding that it's best not to argue with her you dumped another good amount of slime on Yoruichi.
Once sufficiently drenched she rolls up a sizeable ball between her fingers and begins pulling them apart as if to test their tension.
"This stuff better be good for my skin..."

"Just who the hell do you think I am?
Under all this stuff I have skin like that of a newborn."

"Heh... not like anyone can prove it."

"My wife can."

"Aaaanyway! Here's what I planned.
This stuff masks our reiatsu, right?"
You nod.
"Then this should be a piece of cake."
Yoruichi then raises her hand and it appears that she's gripping air itself.
Ripples begin to appear at her fingertips as she begins moving her hand.
"Bakudō #26: Kyokko!"

As her hands move around the air you see a strange light consisting of many different colors enveloping you.
The strange light dances around your body in every color imaginable and once the spell is complete it surrounds you completely.
Yoruichi signals you to move with her hand.

"What's this?"
You ask her with a hushed voice.

"A low level bakudo spell called Kyokko.
It bends light around your body so that people can't see you.
Sadly it doesn't see much use as it does nothing to mask your spiritual presence or sound.
But with your goo now all we have to worry about is noise so just be quiet and follow me."

Instead of replying to her you just nod and attempt to synchronize your movements with hers and the two of you make it to the ominous building.
But rather than targeting the main entrance she leads you silently to one of the windows.
With a quick little jump both of you are standing right in front of the sealed opening which Yoruichi quickly opens up with ease.
It seems that her skills of infiltration have not rusted over the years.

With silent footsteps both of you enter the place.

Avoiding the upper levels like the plague you instead went for the basement because apparently these people managed to carve an entire underground system into the bedrock of Soul Society.
Luckily for you the road down there was uneventful at best because the guards simply had no chance to detect you at all.
Even when you messed up and stepped on a creaking floorboard any nearby guards that may have noticed it simply chalked it up to being nothing.
Apparently that's something that happens a lot around here.

Without the grunts offering you any challenge at all you quickly made your way to the lowest of levels where the house archives were located.
And to their credit they did have much tighter security here than anywhere else with maybe the upmost level as an exception.
But unfortunately for them they were up against Yoruichi Shihoin and that's not a challenge any man can beat.
Leaving you behind for just a moment she managed to knock out all of the guards in front of the massive data vault.

"Come. Let's get this over with before the others realize we're here."

Not wanting to cause more trouble than necessary you followed Yoruichi into the room as you picked up all of the unconscious guards and tied them together with a thick string of mucus.
Upon your entry you put down your newfound hostages and after blindfolding them you made your way to the cat.

"Found anything?"
You ask her as she keeps typing into the holographic control panel.

"Yeah... A lot actually.
All of it is here. The Soul King... The Beast King, Hell, The Hollow King...
The Quincy King?! That can't be right...
He's in the same category as the others."

"Open it. Let's see what they have on him!"

"Right... one sec...
There."
After much frantic typing a large, transparent image floats before you.

The image is... not what you expected.
While the features are all the same the picture shows a much younger man.
Almost a boy really.

But the picture is not the important part.
It's the text. That dreadful, infernal text that leaves both you and Yoruichi speechless.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=055NXgwLkZQ

It reads: Son of the Soul King

"T-This can not be!"

You swallow hard at that.
"Keep scrolling."

Yoruichi then begins to read it out loud almost as if she wants to make sure she's not hallucinating.
"After the ritual was complete and the Soul King was pacified it's limbs unexpectedly became sentient.
Retrieval of subjects always ended in failure but their actions were observed.
Subject 2 and 3, also known as the Left Hand and the Heart, were located within the living world.
After the initial teams remains were recovered all subsequent units were ordered to observe them.
Subjects 2 and 3 were observed collecting human genetic material and heavily modifying it to later produce... the first Quincy.
Though not an actual deity it was created by and infused with the essence of the Soul Kings parts.
...
Classification: Quincy (modified human)"

"It is now believed that the Quincy were created to spite the Soul Society.
All subsequent Quincy are descendants of the primary subjects and are not a part of the Cycle of Reincarnation.
Instead upon death the Quincy return to their progenitor.
Furthermore the phenomenon known as Soul Suicide seems to be a failsafe intentionally given to the Quincy by Subject 2 and 3 in order to keep their work from becoming tainted. (This is purely hypothetical and requires further research)"

She reels back for a moment before she manages to collect herself.
"It's all here... They knew about the whole thing and did... nothing."
Her hands quickly begin to scramble on the keyboard. You see her reaching for the keys 'R' 'E' 'I' and then you grab hold of her arm.
She gives you death stare and speaks up.
"Let go!"

"No... Listen here.
From what I've heard about that... thing. You don't want to look that up.
Especially after what we saw just now."

"And what are you going to do?

"No... I'm just asking you.
Don't.

Then with that said you let go of her hand.

To her credit she did look like she was considering what you said.
However her response was quite predictable.

"I appreciate the concern but I've come this far.
I must see this through to the end!"

Quickly she finished her query and the result popped up.
It was... revolting to say the least.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qGi9ppL34E

An incredibly in-depth description of what the Soul King actually was and how it came to be.
A massive amalgamation of souls, ritually sacrificed and molded into a single being.
Much like the Hogyoku but one a much larger and more brutal scale.

Millions upon millions of lives were used up for its creation with each step of the process being a greater sin against humanity than the last.
But that was not the really nauseating part, oh no.
Reading about this stuff would be emotionally draining, yes.
But it wouldn't have nearly as bad of an impact if it didn't have picture illustrations for each part of the birthing process.

Yoruichi actually retches forward and has to cover her mouth after the fifth close up
It's obvious that she has to exert great amounts of effort to keep the contents of her stomach in her body.

Meanwhile you feel a certain sinking sensation in your chest.
Slowly but surely you begin grasping at the orb in your chest.
"M-Master?"
It cries out in confusion.

"Just tell me...
Were you... made like this?"

"No...
My creation required a much smaller number of sacrifices and the process was also more... refined than this barbaric thing."

Looking up from the orb after hearing that satisfactory answer you looked at Yoruichi who appears to have calmed down if only a little.
"Are you alright?"

"N-No... No I'm not!
And I hate it!
This... thing sickens me!
I knew that the Soul King was bad from Kisuke but he never told me just HOW bad it is!

"Just keep the archives intact.
They might come in useful... especially if people want to reprimand you for destroying a noble house."

She smashes her fist into her open palm.
"Excellent. Just what the doctor ordered!"
Then surprisingly she begins taking off her orange jacket and tosses it to you.
"Hey hold onto this for me for a while okay?"

You roll the jacket up and tuck it under your armpit as you draw your trusty knife.
"Do you want in on this?"

"I'd... rather not.
I sympathize with Lady Shihoin and I want to burn their pansy noble asses to a crisp for this...
But I think that'd be a bit much. I'm already a 'renegade' no need to turn that to full traitor status."

You shrug at Meras response.
"Suit yourself."
And with that you sheathed her once again.
"Are you ready?"
You turn to Yoruichi.

"Just one sec...."
She closes her eyes and begins to focus.
"SHUNKO!"
With lightning arcs shooting out of her body she turns to you, her body brimming with energy.
"Now I'm ready."

"Good."
You crack your knuckles.
"Then let's rock!"

Meanwhile at the Seireiteis surface:

The hollow forces have been spread throughout the entirety of the court of pure souls much to the displeasure of the shinigami themselves.
But this is war and desperate times call for desperate measures.
So while underground Kaizar Soize and Shihoin Yoruichi are busy demolishing a noble clan and destroying their great house without much resistance the rest of the Fear Eaters forces prepare for battle.

With their various forces at the ready the hollows almost simultaneously reel their heads when they feel something happening around them.
The ground began to rumble and the shadows all over the place began to grow and expand in all directions until they enveloped the entire Seireitei.

Then slowly but surely space itself appeared to melt away before their very eyes.
Suddenly the Seireitei was gone and it was replaced by massive buildings made of silver.
From the confused crowds many voices spoke up one after another.

"THE HELL?!"

"STAY SHARP!"

"IT'S THE ENEMY!"

Suddenly everyone became aware of the Quincy forces surrounding them from all sides.
All hell broke loose.

8th division grounds:

The silence that fills the area is unnerving.
There is hardly a thing more suspenseful than then moment after a gun has been shot.
But to Captain Kyoraku there is nothing stressful about his situation.
He is perfectly aware of his situation of what happened to him.

"Well... it's not like I was using that eye for much other than oggling women anyway."
He jokes to himself as blood pours out of his now empty eye socket.
His assassin has already retreated to a safe distance from him.

Slowly the Captain stands upright once more and his lieutenant calls out to him.
"CAPTAIN!"

"Nanako-chan. Now's not the time to be worrying about others!
Please retreat to a safe distance.
...
That's an order."

His lieutenant slowlly recovers from her shock and nods to him.
But as she turns around to run as far as possible she bumps into someone and falls to the ground.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBxQ70-gjl0

"STARRK YOU IDIOT!
LOOK WHAT YOU DID!"

Scratching his head deputy Coyote Starrk leans forward and offers a hand to Nanao.
"I'm sorry... I wasn't paying attention.
Are you alright?"

"U-Uh-huh."

"Okay.
That's good.
But I'm gonna have to ask you to move away from here lady.
Things are about to get ugly."
He then walks forward to where the bleeding shinigami is.
"Need a hand? Or an eye?"

"Heh... Of course I get the joker.
But actually I'd appreciate some help.
I'm not particularly fond of guns you see."
He points up at the nearby roof where the one that maimed him stands.

A rather old looking Quincy can be seen looking down at them with a gun in one hand and a briefcase in the other.
Through his glasses he observes the newcomer to the scene.
He's very clearly weighing whether or not he should run away from this encounter.
But with the Captain suffering such a critical wound he's confident. Cocky almost.

However he does not speak and instead raises his gun and points it at Starrk.
After pulling the trigger a Heilig Pfeil shoots out from it.
"Well... this is going to awkward very soon...
Cero."

Without any build up a blast is fired from in front of him and it obliterates the Quincies attack.
Captain Kyoraku merely stares at this in disbelief.
"I-Instantly?
Well... I think I might have just lost bits of my brain as well because I did not expect you to be this formidable Arrancar-san."

"Looks can be deceiving.
Which is how he must've taken your eye.
Are you sure you don't want me to do the other one? Even you out?"

"Nah I'll pass.
But if you could help me I'd appreciate it."

"Of course."
Starrk then looks at the Quincy again.
"Cero."

File: shunsui-shot-on-the-eye-e(...).png (242 KB, 845x607)

Before the blast hits the elderly Quincy disappears from view and reappears on another rooftop which catches Starrks attention.
"That..."

Lilynette then tugs at his side.
"Starrk..."

"Yeah. I know."

The enemy dusts himself off and looks at Starrk.
"You surprised me.
Commendable.
Tell me, how do you hide your power like that?"

"Who knows?
...
Cero"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0t9TlXAnDDM

The blue blast flies towards its target violently.
But once it perfectly obfuscates the target Starrks senses alert him to something and so he draws his sword.
To his shock the old Quincy appeared just next to him with his gun drawn and aimed at Starrks liver.
With a quick parry he managed to knock the projectile away just before it hit.

However when Starrk looked back up at his target he had already disappeared.
"So that's how it is..."

The Quincy now stands before the scared cowboy and twirls his pistol as he speaks up.
"Nice reactions.
Who trained you?"

"No one."

"Well Mr. Noone has done a good job then.
What's your name?"

"Coyote Starrk."

"Robert Accutrone. Sternritter N.
A pleasure."

"What does the N stand for?"

"Well now that'd be spoiling the fun wouldn't it?"

"I guess."

The Quincy then raises his gun at Starrk once more.

>Kick about! Los Lobos!
>Lilynette... stay on your toes. I want to figure his power out
>Hey Shinigami, I thought you wanted help and not me doing all the work for you!

"But if you are going to play hard to get then that's up to you.
I, on the other hand..."
Starrk then placed his hand on Lilynettes head and a powerful stream of blue light emerged from her.
"Kick about! Los Lobos!"

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

"I don't really mind skipping to the good part."
Starrk stands up from his crouched position with his new pair of handguns at which the old Quincy looks up.

"Oh? Oh my...
That certainly complicates things."

"Don't be too scared Quincy.
It's only natural that old people have smaller tools.
Their bones can't handle the recoil you see."

"Cheeky."
He then disappears in a flash of light.
"BUT!"
As Robert appears before Starrk he raises his gun at his opponent but quickly finds the barrel of Lilynette staring him down.
"H-Huh?"

With a quick pull of the trigger Accutrone found a rather alarming amount of reiryoku in the form of a Cero blasting him right in the face.
The impact of the blast was powerful enough to send him rolling backwards on the ground.
However mid-way through his tumble he disappears again and he appears to be standing perfectly still.
He raises a hand to his now singed face and his glasses quickly shatter at his touch.

"H-How?!"
He asks Starrk.

After quickly holstering Lilynette Starrk looked at him.
"It's easy.
If you use the same move over and over again then everyone will figure it out eventually.
And it doesn't matter that your movement is instantaneous if it's this predictable."

That comment apparently struck a nerve with the old man.
"YOU! SOME YOUNG FOOL LIKE YOU HAS NO RIGHT TO INSULT ME!
FINE! NO MORE GAMES!"
He reaches for a bracelet on his hand and pulls a switch on it which causes him to transfrom into his Vollständig.
"I am Robert Accutrone! Sternritter N, The Network!
And I'll show you just how out of your league you are!
Now then... Grimaniel..."

All of a sudden the Quincy disappeared from view again but this time instead of going straight for Starrk he began phasing in and out of existence all over the place.
What Starrk had already figured out was that he was capable of instantaneous movement which was partially correct.
In truth what Robert has been doing up until now and right now just used a more powerful version of it was the ability to instantly travel between locations he previously "marked".

And with all these 'copies' around him Starrk was simply incapable to block all the arrows that came from that barrage of shots that the Quincy unleashed at him.
That is... until he had enough of the whole charade.

"Cero Metraletta."

By moving his hand around in a circle Starrk managed to obliterate most of Roberts attacks with the only downside being that he also trashed most of the nearby buildings.
However Robert was only slightly damaged by a few stray Ceros.

Now standing on the rooftops he looks down at Starrk as he's panting.
"Damn. Hollow. Where does he keep all that power?"

"Yeah... I'd like to know that as well."

"HUH?!"

Robert gasped as he felt a sudden burning sensation in his abdomen.
Slowly he jerked his head around so he could see behind himself.
"Y-You!"

"Kageoni."
With Katen Kyokotsu lodged firmly in the Quincys side Kyoraku slowly emerged from the Quincys shadow.
"You know I really don't know whether I should thank Arrancar-san for providing such a wonderful opportunity to me or kill him for trashing my division...
Well beggars can't be choosers I guess.
I'll take what I can get."

Coughing up a bit of blood Robert looked at the shinigami and the arrancar with white hot rage burning in his eyes.
Then with but the blink of an eye he disappeared again but this time without a trace.

Kyoraku just sighs at this.
"So... it doesn't matter if I'm in physical contact with him.
What a troublesome ability."

Aaaand that's about as far as I can go.

Archive is up as always and I'll see you goys next week.
Maybe at a different day just to see if I can attract a bigger crowd

Omake #1: Being Human

Friday: 17:13

"Come on Orihime!"

"S-Sorry Tatsuki-chan!"

The two girls pick up their pace as they are already late from their meeting.
But luckily, even though they became quite exhausted by then, they arrived at the destination.
Upon the girls arrival to the place the barriers surrounding the place slowly dissolve between them and enter.
The same holy training area of the Quincy have become something akin to a clubhouse to the spiritually aware children of Karakura Town, courtesy of Uryu himself.

"Oh... you're here."
The young Quincy takes not of the girls.

"Sorry about that.
Had to bash in some hollow skulls along the way."

"Please forgive us!"

"No, no.
Please Inoue-san don't bow down!"

Chad looks up at this.
"Huh? Inoue?"

"Yeap."
Tatsuki slaps the red headed girls shoulder.
"Little Hime over here has been training relentlessly these past couple months.
I'd say it's about time we compare her progress to our own."

"Hmmm...
I wasn't aware she also had powers."

"Kaizar's been training her apparently."
She turns around and nudges her friend a little.
"Come on Orihime, say something!"

"U-Uh... Sorry for intruding!
I hope I'm not too much of an inconvenience!
A-And please be patient with me Sado-kun and Ishida-kun!"

Uryu just scratched the back of his head awkwardly and looked at Chad next to him.
"I guess it'd be best if we got started.
Maybe Inoue-san will get more comfortable that way."

"Hmmm...
Agreed."

"Very well then!
How would you like it?
Maybe a two on two practice fight?"

Once she heard those words Tatsuki began stretching her arms.
"Yeah that sounds good.
Okay! Then it's boys against girls!"

"A-Are you sure Arisawa-san?
Wouldn't it be better for you and me to team up so Sado and Inoue-san can be together?"

Tatsuki then gave a glare to Uryu.
"You know... I'm not even mad for you calling me weaker than Chad because that's just a fact with his merged fulbring...
No. I'm angry because you insulted Inoue just now."
She then smashed her knuckles together and produced her fullbring gauntlets.
"Now shut up and let's get started already!"

A bit flustered by this Uryu adjusted his glasses and then unbuttoned the sleeve of his white shirt.
As his cross got unraveled the young Quincy began focusing his reiryoku into it and his Heilig Bogen materialize.
He looked at his weapon, a testament to his growth. It's no longer just pure energy but an actual physical object.
Letting out a sigh he tries to ignore the fact that it looks remarkably like his fathers.

"Sado..."

"Hmmm."
Chad then extended his arm and it got covered in a translucent liquid.

Tatsuki grinned at that.
"Just Brazo Derecha de Gigante?"
She then looked to the side.
"Orihime! Let's teach him a lesson in humility!"

"R-Right!"
Inoue put on her guard, her green tracksuit slightly bellowed in the wind failing to intimidate anyone.

Without wasting much time Chad charged the two girls with his fist readied.
Seeing this Tatsuki cracked a smiled and readied her own hands in order to block.
However before these two could clash in a straight up test of strength a barrier rose up between them just as Orihime moved her hands.
Chads fist collides against the orange film of reishi and it lets out a dull noise as it absorbs all his kinetic energy.

"Nice one Orihime!"
Tatsuki then quickly pulls back her fist and creates an explosion that propels her elbow forward.
"Denkosekka!"

The moment her punch connects with the barrier Arisawa sets off another bomb right around her knuckles which begins to push the barrier away with Chad in tow.
Activating bringer light Tatsuki then begins to pursue her launched target.

"Okay! We got this!"

"Don't think so!"
Uryu raises his bow and begins to unleash suppressing fire on the two girls.

In response to this Orihime quickly deactivates her barrier and relocates her 3 fullbring fragments so she can protect themselves.
Seeing that his attacks are being blocked Uryu hurries to his comrade and aids him up.
"Are you alright?"

"Yeah... sorry.
I didn't expect such a strong shield."

"Yeah... how troublesome."
Uryu begins to think and once he formulates a plan he whispers something to Chad.
"Okay... Ready?"

"Yes."

Hopping in place Ishida creates a hovering board of reishi as a means of getting around.
Gliding on his new vehicle he quickly moves around the battlefield and gets behind the girls barriers, all the while feeling immensely satisfied that he could upgrade Hirenkyaku in such a manner.
Tatsuki wastes no time reacting to this new development.

"He's trying to flank us!
Orihime!"

"On it!"

Mimicking Ishidas creation she manifests Soten Kisshun and begins riding it in much the similar manner as Uryu.
A bit taken back by this sudden development Ishida can't help but to give voice to his surprise.

"W-What? How?"

However Orihime doesn't respond to him and instead focuses intently on the fight itself.
She calls forth her other 3 fairies and uses Santen Kesshun while riding around on her hoverboard.
Spirit arrows begin to shower her shield and despite taking some structural damage it holds strong.
Quickly closing the gap between them she begins to move around her hands which in turn causes her shield to contort accordingly.

Seeing the barrier before change so it arcs around him instead of Orihime he begins to realize what the girls plans are.
He reaches for his belt and pulls out his custom made Seele Schneider and attempts to cut up the film of reishi before him.
But just as the weapon begins to glow and hum with energy its tip touches the barrier and gets rejected.

With his weapon bouncing back Uryus eyes open wide.
"WHAT?!"
As the walls of the shield began wrapping around him he had to deactivate his weapon so it doesn't accidentally harm him by accident.
"Damn it!"

File: commission_dragoniroh_by_(...).jpg (115 KB, 900x655)

115 KB JPG

Orihime closes the gap between her and Ishida in an attempt to finish their fight.
She calls her last 'fairy' to her side and it answers her call.
The black creature, Tsubaki, flies up to her and wraps its wings around the girls wrists.

A long, thin blade is then projected from Inoues newly made arm brace and she raises it up to Uryu who is still in his new straight jacket.
Tsubakis blade effortlessly pierces the shield and gets dangerously close to Ishida.

"I win!"

"Grrr... Fine!
J-just let me go already! Please?"

"Okay!"

Orihime undoes her seal and Uryu becomes free.
As the Quincy boy recollects himself Inoue changes her attention to Chad who has been locked in an exchange of blows with Tatsuki since then.

The two kids manage to match each others strength perfectly.
Each blow made by one half is swiftly countered by an equally powerful strike from the other with Tatsuki relying heavily on the strength of her explosions to match Chads overwhelming advantage in strength.
However Tatsuki quickly amps up her assault and begins to get the edge over her opponent thanks to her superior speed.

"Hyakuretsu ken!"

With his body pelleted by many, many strikes Chad finally calls forth Brazo Derecha de Gigantes true form and uses it as a shield.
And it was that moment when he raised his shield that his awareness of his surroundings dropped and Orihime made her move.
She raised Tsubaki and pointed it at Chads back.

Tatsuki then jumped up at Yasutoras arm and squatted on the edge of the shield with her fist raised before Chads face.
"Gotcha!"

"...
Hmmm...
I give up."

"Smart boy!"

With both boys forced to surrender the girls quickly began celebrating.
"HOORAY! WE DID IT!"
Orihime sang cheerfully.

"Heh... Don't look so down boys!
You shouldn't have underestimated Orihime!
Now come on, Orihime made bento for all of us!
Let's eat and do a re-match afterwards."

To everyones surprise Orihimes cooking was actually rather edible.
With full stomachs they sparred a few more times before they each headed home.
Sadly, with the element of surprise gone the girls didn't achieve such a great victory again.

"A glass of the good stuff. On the rocks please."
The bount asked.

At this the bartender turned around, saw his small stature and sized him up.
"We don't serve kids around here."

Ban frowns at this.
"Seriously Alphonso?
Every. Single. Time."

"Hehehe.
Sorry Ban.
You know I can't resist it.
The usual?"

"Sure. But double.
I swear you'll make me an alcoholic with your shit jokes."

"Well that's something that I'd like to see.
With your small size you'd look like a prune if your skin got all messed up from drinking."
The bartender then pours a tankard full of fermented Idun juice.
Not the cheapest stuff but not the premium either.

"Here ya go."

"Thanks."
Ban then leaves a handful of plastic chips on the counter.

The upper floor of the bar has been reserved by the bounts for their upcoming gathering.
Following his dealings with the bartender Ban made his way up to his fellows.
"Sorry to keep you waiting.
Got held up by an asshole."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ff1DjBe3LOM

"It's quite alright Ban."
Kariya signaled to the boy.
"Please, sit.
...
Now then, before we begin.
I'd like to thank all of you for showing up."

"No problem Jin."
Mabashi responded.
"Gotta say reserving this whole place for us is quite a gesture.
How could we refuse?"

"Enough formalities Jin...
Why did you call us here?
Out with it!"

"Heh...
Sorry Yoshi.
In truth there is no reason why I asked you all to gather here.
I just wanted to know how all of you are doing.
We don't talk much these days."

"Tch... That's all?
...
Are you paying for our drinks?"

"Yes."

"Well then...
I suppose I can live with that."
Yoshi leans back in her chair.

"I'm glad you are not angry Yoshi.
So how have you all been?
How's life treating you all?"

Ban just sips from his drink as everyone else just stares blankly at one another.
Eventually however his twin Ho pokes his sides and he lets out a sigh as he begins.

"I guess it's fine.
Being labeled a 'child' was annoying at first...
But I guess finally attending school and not needing to travel constantly to avoid suspicion is good."

"I concur."
Bans twin adds to his brothers sentence.
"Stability feels good."

"Of course...
You two have probably suffered more than we have."
Jin looks a bit sad.
"People are more quick to notice that you are not growing up.
How's school?"

"Could be better. Could be worse."
Ban finally finishes his drink and looks at someone else.
"Yoshi. How about you?
It must be nice being famous."

"Hmph...
It's annoying.
I only cared about the fighting part.
Now I have to worry about a bunch of losers wanting autographs and so called fans that stalk my every move."

"That's only natural if you're a fan favorite in the arena Yoshi.
You should feel proud."

"Kiss my ass Mabashi."

"And how's Mr Champion?
Enjoying that long tongue of his?"

"Gay."

"Come on. You can tell us.
We're practically family."

"No. I mean he's into cocks."

"Oh...
...
Hundreds of years and I'm still not used to that kind of stuff.
Oh well."

"Says the guy that's designing clothes.
At least he has the excuse of being manly.
You on the other hand get no game because every girl assumes you to be a faggot."

"Oh you wound me so!
By the way...
Zeige Dich, Ritz!"
A small flower begins to bloom in his hand and turns into a small, flying fox.
"Ritz dear can you look at Yoshis clothes for me?"

"Of course!
...
It's one that I made."

"Thank you.
You can go back to sleep now."
Mabashi looks back at Yoshi with a fox like grin.

"... Fuck you."

"Now now! There are no enemies here.
We're still kin.
Koga, care to change the subject?"

"There isn't much to say.
I like it here. I can do some good work by helping in the constructions around the city.
I have people who do not reject me.
Life is simple. And good."
Koga then looks at Ugaki who has been drowning his sorrows up until now.
"Guess I'm lucky in that regard."

"W-What's wrong with him?"
Ban asks Koga.

"OH don't even get me STARTED!"

"He uh... has been working in the lab under The Doctor."
Ugaki then begins sobbing.

"Well at least most of us have it good.
Remind me to buy you a beer sometime Jin for scoring us this gig."
Yoshi makes a snarky comment.

"Don't you mean to buy ME a drink?"
Mabashi reacts to her.
"After all *I* was the one that managed to convince the big Boss to not murder us all."

"Hey cut that out Mabashi!"
Ho and Ban speak up simultaneously.

"Please. Everyone.
Mabashi is right.
I only knew Kaizar back when he was... different.
I'm sure that if I wasn't present then he'd have helped you all out regardless.
I... All I've ever done is get us into trouble."

"You can say that again..."
Finally the last of the bounts who have not spoken up until now raises her voice.

"Yoshino..."

"Jin.
I've spent so many years by your side.
I believed what we had was something special... something more.
But you just used me. Like you used most of us for your crazy revenge scheme.
For that I'll never forgive you."

"I... understand Yoshino.
I betrayed you. That is true.
So if you never find the-"

"Let me finish!
..."
Yoshino clears her throat.
"I will never forgive you for what you've done to me personally.
But I'm wiling to forget.
We all got a chance for a second life. That includes you. Whether I like it or not."

"T-Thank you Yoshino."

"And because you've been doing community service all this time."

"You don't need to rub it in..."

Awww, he managed to become a people

And I'm absolutely certain it's no coincidence, destiny-wise, that Hueco Mundo is where all the broken souls have managed to start healing.
