The Start of a New Day[]
It's a sunny afternoon in Karakura town and a shinigami without a sword and white hair is watching some young spirits play, when suddenly he senses something nasty en route to where he is. "Great...was hoping for a day off...." said the Shinigami as he rushed off to the location, upon arriving he saw a small group of Arrancar gathered outside a closing portal. "Afternoon uglies.....so what business ya got in town?" Asked the shinigami as he drew his Zanpakutō. "Who the hell are you?" Asked one of the larger Arrancar, the Shinigami bowed in reply to the question "Zero is the name.....wiping scum like you off the face of reality is my game!" Smirked Zero as he stood up and pointed his blade at them "And you interrupted my day off.....That means i'm gonna enjoy this as compensation!" "Hey isn't this the guy our Lord mention?" Asked one of the Arrancar to his allies. "Oh yeah!!....he framed him for an attack on that weak ass royal family!" Chuckled one of the other Arrancar. "What?!" Shouted Zero "Ohhhh thats it i'm going all out for this" Zero placed his hand over his face and summoned his Hollow Mask and spoke with a distorted voice "Now the fun begins!"
"Hello heres something new" Said Kezo behind Zero and the Arrancars, They all looked at him and he looked at them, There was a short silence in the atmosphere "............Oh now i get it you guys are Arrancars that are causing trouble and your a Shinigami and a Vizard like me" Kezo said to them "He just noticed that?" Said one of the Arrancars. "Ok who are you? I'm abit busy here ya know.....But if you wanna join be my guest just don't get in my way got it?" Zero charged one of the Arrancar and cut through him with blinding speed, he then turned around to block an attack from another Arrancar "So what rank you guys? Fraccion, Privaron...ya can't be Espada...i've delt with Espada and your far too weak to be Espada." "We're some of the strongest Fraccion in our Lord's army!!" scream one of the Arrancar as he charged only to be destroyed by one of Zero's Cero "Riiiiight...."
Kezo looked at Zero fighting the Arrancars "Well i got nothing better to do good thing i have Shini in my pocket" Kezo pulled a Mod Soul pill from his pill and swallowed it and turned into his Shinigami form "Lets have some fun" "Please dont put me in your pocket again" Said Shini to Kezo before he charged at the Arrancars, Once he reached an Arrancar he sliced him in half and looked at Zero "My name is Kezo Zakara im a former member of the 11th Division since a recent incident years ago." "Ohhhhh great a blood thristy nut....." said Zero with a slightly despressed tone. As Zero finished his sentance he was struck by a large fist and sent flying into a wall. "What the hell?!?!?!?!" Shouted Zero as he looked to a large Arrancar. "Ohhhh a challenge!" Smirked Zero. "I am Dogo! the 11th Nemeros and Fraccion to Hyraga!" Zero got up and smirked "Well atleast i can have a real fight...." Zero then activated his Shikai "Let Dragons rise and demons fall!" Suddenly a burst of white light and spiritual pressure ripped through the battleground and Zero re-appeared with anew outfit with no real change to his Zanpakutō. "This is my Zanpakutō, Ryuuken.....and he's love to say hello properly." As Zero finished his sentance he used Shunpo to get behind Dogo and slashed his back, only to be countered and sent flying.
Kezo looked at Zero flying at a wall "Are you okay?" Said Kezo but didnt get an answer because of Dogo who sent a fist towards Kezo, He hit apeared to have hit Kezo and broke the ground once hitting it "Ha! That was easy" Suddenly Kezo apeared on Dogos large head sitting and looking at him "That was lame, Man im hungry" Kezo scratched his head while Dogo was enraged and sent his fist at Kezo but got off his head quickly resulting Dogo hitting himself by accident, Kezo then apeared infront of him "Thats something embarassing even for an Arrancar haha and pretty funny fo me" Kezo put his hand on his face and summoned his hollow mask and turned to Zero "So are you okay?"
"I'm fine...i'll deal with this guy....you handle his pets" Said Zero as he got up "Hey Dogie release you Resurrección i wanna see you are full strength" Dogo glared at Zero "My name is Dogo...but as you wish little man....Rip and Tear, Gran Demonio!!" Dogo's form changed to resemble a large demon with the tail and wings included. "Hmmm intresting....your uglier than before....Ok then lets test your power!" Zero said and charged at Dogo using his Shikai's special ability Ryū no Ejji launching a dragon shaped blast into Dogo's face which done nothing and became apparent as the Arrancar's hand burst through the smoke and grabbed Zero smalling him into the group. "Joy it increases your Heirro....guys i'll have to use it then....i hate using that combo but gotta be done it seems." Zero managed to break free by landing a strike to Dogo's thumb joint causing him to release his grip "Ok....Bankai, Tensa Ryuuken!" Zero's appearence changed once again gaining a elegant armor with a semi-transparent scarf arcing of his head and wrapping around his upper arms, Zero then charged swing at Dogo making it appear he missed but suddenly spritual blades appeared and cut Dogo across the face.
Kezo was fighting the other Arrancars and looked at Dogo "Hehe that might work" Kezo used Shunpo and apeared behind Dogo who was falling at him, He sheathed his Zanpakuto and prepared to grab Dogo and tried to lift him up "His a heavy bastard" Kezo lifted Dogo half way up and looked at Zero "Hey Zero help me throw the ball at the guys will ya?" "Just toss him to me....this combo is alot more powerful than it seems at the moment." Zero took a stance as if he was about to kick a ball. The Arrancar standing looked shock and puzzled "Well this won't be good." Said one of them.
"Alrighty" Kezo lifted and threw Dogo at Zero as he was told to "GET US A GOAL!" Zero kicked Dogo with such force the momentum remaining caused him to flip over and land on one knee, as he landed he looked up and saw Dogo knock the other Arrancar through a portal one had openned. "Thats what i call a good shot...." Said Zero as he came out of his Bankai form and his hollow mask vanished. "Well that was harder than i wanted....I need a group in this world...my secret allies in the Gotei 13 won't cut it..."
Kezo removed his hollow mask and looked at Zero "A group you say? Hmmm sounds like a nice idea, Got any members in it." "Nope been playing with the idea for awhile now...this fight brought to light the need for it...Arrancar are getting alot stronger lately...." Zero sighed and began to walk off "Later Kezo....I'll cya around."
Kezo saw Zero walk away "Hmmmm ya know i wont mind helping you with the group, I'll even join it along with Shini, Aint that right Shini?" Kezo looked at Shini only to see him hiding behind a wall "No way ya want me to get killed or something im artificial your real your life matters mine matters more cause it doesnt die" Said Shin while shaking, Kezo looked slightly angered and walked to Shini entering his body and spitting out the pill "Its not for you to decide now lets go get you back in your body." "Thats why i don't use Mod-Souls.....Anyway i'd be glad to have you join...already have a name if thats ok....Tsurugi no Teisei....The Society of the Sword....The base is at the old Kyomichi Temple just north of Tokyo."
"Cool name okay ill be there tommorow got class in the morning so i might be there around the afternoon or later see ya" Kezo walked away to search for Shinis body.
The Next Day At The Afternoon[]
Tommorow afternoon Kezo and Shini went to where Zero said the base was "Hello Zero were here" "Please i wanna go home" Shini shaked from fear in his dog body. Zero appeared from a trapdoor located inside the abandoned temple "Right here...come on down....was just fixing the door...the hinges kept getting stuck." He then vanished back down the hole into the caverns below
Kezo and Shini entered the temple and looked around "So......This is the base huh? Nice place could use some cleaning though." "This is only the entry passage...follow me." Zero leads the two to the cavern the base is located in and it turns out to be it's own little world, the area looks like a paradise with lush grass, waterfalls, lakes even animals. In the centre is a large Castle "That is the base...Eien No Shino the Eternal Castle." Smirked Zero as he walked toward the building.
"Mustve take you along time to build this place" Kezo looked around surprised, Shini looked more calm then before "This place is better makes me feel safer and less threatened" Shini looked around, Kezo went to Zero "So when and how do we start the group?" "Took me around 5-6 months to make it....and on the recruitment...we look for anyone with spiritual powers...Exiled Shinigami, Fullbringers, Vizards anyone willing to protect the human and spirit worlds..." Said Zero with a smirk.
"Sweet wont mind being in a group would feel like the old days i miss the old days" Kezo sighed and scratched his head "So when do we start looking around?" "Start with Karakura and Tokyo for now...we'll exand our search as we go....i'm a nomad in my Gigai anyway so i can travel all over and find people when needed....i'm working on making gates to different safe points. So all members can meet here without having to travel from....say Kyoto" Said Zero as he sat on a rock.
Somewhere in Tokyo...
A young man with dark blue hair was walking around Tokyo, constantly checking his phone for messages from a friend. Unknowingly, he knocked into a big and gruff looking man. "Sorry," he said as he bowed, trying to walk, only to be blocked by that guy. "Sorry?" the man scoffed, "Do you know who I am, kid? A "sorry" isn't enough for me." The young man bowed again, "I'm sorry, sir. I'm in a hurry, so if you could excuse me," he tried turning around and walking away, only to be stopped by two larger men with shades. "Oh god," he thought.
A young woman with brown hair and red eyes was walking about, hoping to find a lead on her target. She didn't exactly look like it, but she was more than capable of taking people down quickly if the situation called for it. She found her mark sitting on a rock. She quickly pulled a deck of tarot cards from her pocket, causing them to glow. That marked the activation of her Fullbring, Destiny Card. Wait for a good opening... she thought, keeping an eye on him.
The mark, a man with ghost white hair jsut sits there relaxing on his rock on a hill in the middle of Karakura town while singing a tune to himself. "Flower of heaven bloom for the fallen, let your pettals dance on their graves. Let them join teh gods and heroes in the afterlife." He repeats this verse a good afew times before yawning and laying down to nap.
Shiroko put her cards back to protect them, but at least they were ready to be used whenever. She walked over to the rock quietly, trying not to wake the man, and placed her hand upon it. Using her abilities, she softened the rock a bit before rehardening it, trapping the man. Too easy. They said he was dangerous. What bull. she thought, taking a quick break.
"Afternoon!" Said the man suddenly "The names's Zero, you are?" Zero openned his deep grey eyes showing a true warrior spirit with a hidden darkness within.
Shiroko screamed as the man spoke, the rocky imprisonment making him look monsterous to her. "I--I'm the girl who's gonna bring you in for questioning. I was told you are wanted for something. I'm not high enough on the ladder to know what exactly, so we can sort that out later." she said, still spooked. Zero sighed "it's rude not to introduce yourself when someone asks your name ya know...." Zero then sat up using his Spiritual pressure to break out of the rocky binds. "And it's very ruse to imprison someone while they sleep.....And i was framed for my supposied crime kid....But your a Fullbringer right?"
Meanwhile back with the Blue-haired man
The young man over in Tokyo smirked, "I'm really not supposed to do this, but, oh well," he muttered. "Hey, old man, you're shinigami right?" The gruff man growled at the term used before nodded, "Only the finest and last swordsman you'll ever meet." The young man smiled, "Really? Well, nice to meet a swordsman before my death. I'm Seishin Ryuuki and I know one of us is going to be dead after our little match." Seishin withdrew his sword, before swiftly slicing the man's head off, making the two bodyguards back down. "Guess I'm more fine than you. Pity, Seishi might have wanted to do that. Guess I'm ahead of him," he laughed to himself, before walking on.
Back with Zero and the girl
"Come on atleast tell me ya name...guessing it takes too much work and i've been searching for recruits to join my group all day.....i'ts getting boring...." said Zero who is now sitting cross-lagged on the rock with his sword resting on his shoulder.
Shiroko gulped. "My name is Shiroko Sorei but everyone just calls me Shiro and I am a Fullbringer. I already know who you are Zero, and wait...what are you planning?" she asked, hoping she would get an answer.
"not awhole lot actually looking to form a group to do my job as a Shinigami but with much more freedom....but me and my partner need allies ya see....." Shruged Zero "And don't take my apparent action into this...if you know about me you should know my code doesn't permit me to betray my people or commanders."
"Yes, the reports did say something about that." Shiro said, thinking of how to enter the group, which was part of her mission. "I'm sorry for my actions earlier. I was only following my orders, which now that I see your side, seem unjust." she lied through her teeth, a very rare occurance with her. "I don't know how to ask this, but may I join you?" Zero stands up with a smirk as if he could tell she's lieing "Sure! why not! will be fun to have ya around!" Zero handed her abit of paper "Go to that location down the trap-door you'll find in the middle of the main room and follow the laargest tunnel all the way down." Zero then using Shunpo vanished to where he could sense some considerable Spiritual pressure somewhere in Tokyo.
With Seishin In Tokyo...
Seishin dialled in a friend's phone number only to be met with a voicemail. He sighed, before recording the message, "Hey Seishi. I've got another one, looks like I'm one step ahead of you again," he grinned. He put the phone down and continued walking, until he felt hollowish spiritual power nearby. "It must be one of them shinigami hollow hybrids again," he sighed, recalling his encounter with a previous arrogant Vizard. Zero then appear behind him leaning against a telephone pole "Yo! Thought i sensed some power here.....didn't rellise it was from a kid..." Shruged Zero as he looked Seishin over with his battlehardened eyes
"I'm 18 actually. Doubt I'd be considered a kid. Anyway, I'm Seishin Ryuuki, nice to meet you, shinigami hollow hybrid dude," Seishin stuck his hand out, asking for a handshake. Zero shakes his hand "Compired to me your a kid...I'm Zero and the proper title for my kind is Vizard." Zero smirked as he let go of Seishin's hand. "Ya know i've been looking for strong people to help me with a group i've set up....see we need strong people willing to defend the human and spirit worlds, from well anything that causes problems. So you in?"
"If you think I'm strong enough, then sure. Though I doubt I'm any good," Seishin muttered to him, before smilling like an idiot. "Vizard... Where have I heard it before?" "A good number of places...." Zero hands Seishin a bit of paper with the same location he gave shiroko and tells him the exactly same thing before vanishing and heading back to base.
The Start of Something Great[]
As the new recruits gathered one by one, Zero smiled as their current success at getting some strong allies to fight with.
Shiro followed the directions carefully before finding Zero standing there. "Finally. I thought I had gotten lost or something." she said, breathing heavily. "Sorry, long walk, took a lot out of me." As Shiroko looks around the large cavern world she notices Zero sitting on one of two large rocks that guard the main path to the Castle "Ahhh Shiroko!! Welcome to The Society's main hideout!" He leaps off the rock gliding down and landing gently infront of her "Have alook around, enjoy the scenery and the hot-springs we got....but avoid the cave near them....still dealing with some native wildlife in here....and they ain't too friendly."
"Thanks for the advice, and please, call me Shiro, feels odd when anyone other than my parents use my full name." She said, smiling sweetly. Behind the smile however, she was planning to figure out Zero's goals as her mission truely required of her, but she also could see exactly what would have led him this far, but she had to be sure he wouldn't be a threat later on.
Zero smiled back and bowed his head "Very well." He then walked off to a raised wooden square and summoned his sword to train. Zero swings his sword with amazing levels of speed, accurace and killing intent, as if the blade was a regular katana not a nodachi like it is.
Shiro got out of the way of the sword, subconciously grabbing her cards. Again, they glowed, symbolic of her accepting the will of fate, no matter what it held in store. "Scary, You almost took my head off!" she yelled, drawing the first card, Fortune, in the upright position. Time stopped for a few seconds, giving her time to get far enough away that unless Zero let go, she would be safe from the reach of the blade. "you shouldn't have followed me onto the training platform then....." Zero continued to swing the sword with an elegance than doesn't fit his nature, hey then sheaths the blade after a swing that has enough power behind it to cause a ring of dust to lift from the ground. "So what if your fullbring anyway?"
"It's a tarot deck. I have 22 powers, five of which are randomly chosen for me to use every day, but each of the cards have two effects, leaving me with a small chance of getting the card I need, in the orientation I need it. In tarot, the 22 Major Arcana have two different meanings, depending on how they are drawn, and my power reflects that trait." Zero smirked "I always think Fullbringers have the most intresting powers....though can't compair to a Zanpakutō i mean a shinigami's blade has it's own soul, mind and heart....A Shinigami must listen to them to gain it's full power....a Vizard though like me has two powers to call on, The power of a hollow and the power of a Shinigami.....i like to think of my kind as the elite of the elite."
"Don't use your Hollow powers around me. I know all about Vizards and Shinigami. I work with them on a daily basis." Shiro said, a warning tone in her voice. "Well your not my mother or in command of me....so i'll use my power how i see fit you'll just have to deal with it....but don't worry my powers only enhance my Shinigami ones and i have great control over it." Zero gave a smirk to Shiro and donned his mask firing an amber cero into the distance. "The way i see it as using our enemies powers against them....Rubbing Salt in the wounds so to speak."
Shiro sighed. "Be careful with that! Although I did enjoy the fireworks, so I guess I can't complain." she said, rubbing her forehead in mock frustration. Zero smirks as his hollow mask breaks away "Well aslong as you duck you should be fine....But ya do relise shinigami don't kill Hollows....they just remove them of their sins as a hollow and return them to a regular spirit. i think something like 45% of all spirits in the Soul Socirty were hollows at somepoint...they just don't remember it." Zero then sighed as he sheathed his sword and it vanished "I can't forget how i got my mask...."
Shiro felt a sick feeling in her gut. "That doesn't bode well for me then. I'm doing nothing short of mass murder then. I knew that if you split their masks, you send them on, but all of my effects destroy the whole Hollow in one shot, leaving nothing behind. Then again, I wonder what exactly happens if a Hollow is killed by Fullbring." "I think they're purified....but....maybe if you were a Shinigami-human hybrid you could gain shinigami powers.....i say could....i mean there have been a couple of cases." Zero said scratching his chin "It's a big if though really...." He shrugs and walks off towards a small shine.
Shiro jumped as Zero spoke about her becoming a Shinigami. "Then teach me. Teach me how to be a Shinigami." she demanded, another rare trait she rarely displayed. "I'll do anything to get this weight off of my chest." Zero laughs as he kneels at the shrine and bows before it "You can only learn if you become a Shinigami...but i can teach you how to use a sword and manage your spiritual pressure. And you might get to become a shinigami at somepoint either in a lfie or death situation or through actually dieing." He got up and smiled at her "Though if you go with the dieing method you'd have to find your way to the human world and i rarely go to the spirit world."
"Then push me to that point. Put me to my limits. My father keeps telling me of how you Shinigami are actually the only beings able to save a Hollow's soul, so it makes me worry about the one's I've killed, and now, I just don't know what to do." Shiro replied, angry at herself for even bringing up her father like that. Zero smiled and patted her on the head. "Don't worry about those you've killed....just know you cna redeem your own soul by fighting against the real enemies...Hollows may be the enemy but they have no sense other than to feed....Arrancar are different, they are fully awear of their actions....those you kill." He then walks back over to the platform and takes out a pair of Bokken tossing one to Shiro. "might as well start now..."
Shiro carfully picked up the bokken. She used her power to pull the soul of the bokken and make it more resistant to damage, having already seen Zero's power. "Then come on already. Don't hold back." "I think i will....you've only seen me at say...15% power....If you want to get your Shinigami powers i'd advise not having me go all out....but with luck you'll see me going all out on some Arrancar." Zero smirks lowering the bokken and tapping the tip on the floor twice then dashes towards Shiro swing his wooden blade at her.
Shiro blocked it, struggling against the force of the blow. Although it was hard, she was able to push Zero back. Once her arms had some swinging room, she swung at the man's hip joint, trying to put it out of socket. Zero simple blocked the strike with his Bokken and countered with a hip throw putting Shiro on the ground "Not bad Shiro you have some basic knowledge in sword combat....give it some time and you'll be an expert but right now lets grab some food shall we?"
Shiro smiled. "Yeah. That sounds like a good idea. What do you want to eat?" she asked. "Oh it's fine we have some other recruits who got here while ago they're fixing the food, should be ready by the time we get there." Zero smiled "We got roughly 110 members at the moment....they're not all here yet but some of the ones that have got started on the food."
"Please, lead the way." Shiro said, just as her stomach grumbled it's desire to eat. "Sorry, forgot about breakfast this morning." Zero chuckles and leads all the people outside the castle to the dining hall which is huge able to fit a good few hundred people in at one time "The room fills the entire floor...no other rooms on this level other than the toilets....take a seat anywhere the food will show soon" Said Zero as he sat down in the far left corner slightly in the shadows. As he sat down he watched the other members of the group, as they sat down with people began to chat and make friends.
Shiro took a seat near Zero. "This entrie place is huge. How long did it take to build?" she wondered out loud, amazed that such a complex could support itself. "Well the castle was already here i think....was sealed and i broke the seal after i cleared the cavern....and after that the entire canyon became what it's liek now...it's weird to be honest...." Shrugged Zero "But i rarely dwell ont he past....." Zero rubbed his hands together as the food arrived and he instantly dived for the ramen and onion rings. "You can't beat well made onion rings or ramen!" He smiled as he put the onion rings in the ramen and started to eat.
Shiro hurridly ate the ramen and reached for a piece of bread. "This...is...really..good." she muttered between bites. Her body started shaking from the sudden influx of food that it received, but she paid it no heed and continued to eat. "Slow down....don't want you sick on ya first day...." Chuckled Zero as he finished his ramen and started ont eh BBQ Beef Yaki Soba. "Paitence is the key to anything....and if your gonna train under me you'll need to learn that."
Shiro slowed down a little, trying a bit of everything. "Where did you find all these people? I'm quite impressed by just the numbers you've managed to find." Zero took a grim look to his face "I'm very persuassive when i want to be....Plus i have a reputation that attracts strong fighters or atleast those who think they are." Zero added some more food to his plate and continued to eat. As he ate a loud crash is heard to which Zero looks up and sees one of the more beligerent members herrassing one of the girls serving the members. Zero gets up walking over with his sheathed sword in hand. "You! If you want to start a problem....try me...I promise you i won't bow to your will like the girl....But i will take your head." The fellow shinigami smirked "Oh really....i've heard your reputation and i think it's all bull....you think your big and power-" the shinigami suddenly stopped talking as Zero had jabbed the pommel of his sword into his gut knocking him out cold. As he fell Zero returned to his food as everyone looked stunned. "Erase his memory of coming here and meeting any of you then get rid of him....i see him near this place again i'll kill him...." Two of the shinigami's friends nodded and rushed him off.
Shiro's smile faded, too scared at what Zero just did to think. After the shock wore off, she started to laugh quietly. "You know, that was kinda impressive. You just knocked him out cold, like it was nothing." "The guy was exiled from the Sould Society by the 11th Division Captain for being a weak little shit and being a moron....Was hoping being exiled changed that ut i see it didn't....and before you ask i was serious about killing him." Zero leaned back and sighs relaxing and bringing his spiritual pressure down.
"Really? You don't seem like a killer. Perhaps the higher-ups at my organization had you pegged wrong." Shiro replied, offering kind words to try and ease the tension. "I'll gladly kill 3 kind of people or spirits....Arrancar, Scum liek that rat and Those who kill with no reason.....i will always kill for a reason be it honor, justice, the defence of innocents or for my freinds and loved ones." He picked up his drink and downed it in one. "Remember that when you read about my accused crime...it should say i attemted it for no reason.....i always have a reason to my matters and it's normally obvious."
Shiro looked at the ground. Had the organization made a mistake sending her here? Unlikely, they never sent members out without a very good reason. "Zero, just promise not to do anything that would cause my friends to learn about this. They might think I betrayed them or something, especially my..well, you can't exactly call him my boyfriend..but..just forget about it." She said, a slight blush creeping across her face. "Relax i'll never do anything to put my friends in halms way if i can help it....besides your my student" Zero smiled and poured another cup of sake. "With luck we'll both get what we want...you gaining shinigami powers and me getting mroe power to kill the man who framed me....." Zero sipped his drink.
"I'm gonna help you with that. If you were framed, I'll try to find anything to prove it." Shiro said, feeling better. She poured a glass of milk and drank it slowly. "Nobody should be blamed for what they never did, it's just stupid to think it could happen." "Proving my innocents isn't good enough i was betrayed there for i must take revenge and as i'm not strong enough yet....i'll need to gain full control of my Hollow powers and gain what the Arrancar use to match a shinigami's Zanpakutō....a Resurrección then i'll be able to beat him."
Shiro stood up quickly. "I think it's time I help you out for a change." she said, drawing her second card. She glanced at it and flinched. It was the Devil, in the reversed position. Just as she saw the picture depicted on the card, she fell asleep, falling over like a stack of bricks. Zero just looked at her and sighed picking her up and putting her in one of the infermary beds on the floor above them. "I can tell thats gonna be a problem....."
Shiro moaned as her head cleared, the card having wore off early because it wasn't exactly a fight she was in. She sat up and looked around, hoping to try and find an exit or something. That wasn't exactly my best idea. I only had a 4.4% chance of drawing that card and I blew it. Shiro should be able to hear loud explosions and the sound of a sword cutting through the air, coming from outside the noise sounds like a battle.
Having her senses on high alert, she ran out of the room, following the sounds coming from the main room. She used Bringer-light to hasten herself to the combat. She tried to look for Zero but the chaos around made it difficult to tell where he was. Three cards...that's all I got left today. she moaned inside her head. The only saving grace was she didn't draw the reversed Devil in battle, which really would have been horrible. As the smoke cleared it showed Zero holding a military looking man in a head lock. "Give up Marine?" Zero said with a smirk. "Ok ok uncle dang it!!....just let go of my neck damn it!" shouted the Marine. Zero let go and chuckled "Not bad Akira i knew i was right about you...but what took you so damn long to get here?" asked Zero as he patted the marine on the shoulder. "Would you beleive traffic?" Smirked the marine as he adjusted his cap and showing a tattoo on the under side of his right forearm of Kanji spellling out Fullbringer.
Shiro ran up to the two. "Zero! I was really worried. Who's the other guy?" "About what?" Asked Zero "Oh and this is Akira....former US Marine stationed in Okinawa and a fullbringer." Akira stood to attention and saluted "Captain Akira R. Jäger, at your service ma'am!"
"I leave for 5 hours and this happens" Everyone looked back and saw Kezo and another man with him "So these are you friends Kezo they look nice" Said the man next to Kezo "I only know snow white hair over there, So yeah you can say hes kinda friendly." "Really? we're down to that nickname?....." Said Zero as he walked up to Kezo. "Who's ya friend? and what power he got?"
"Who? Shakuro? Oh hes a teacher like me in the same school were pals and hes a Fullbringer as so he told me, Ive never seen his Fullbring in action well atleast not from close" Kezo said as he looked at Shakuro "Well its because your too slow to catch up aint ya? Hahahaha" Shakuro laughed and walked to Zero "Hi im Shakuro Tashikara nice to meet ya snow white" Shakuro put out his hand to shake with Zero. Zero smirked and shook Shakuro's hand "Call me snow white again and you'll really regret it...."
"Yeah okay it doesnt suit you anyways since your male and not female though you do have white hair ha i dont have a nickname for ya" Shakuro let go of Zeros hand "So do we have certain jobs in this here base?" Shakuro looked around while still smiling. "Depends...and i'm known as The White Demon at home...." Zero nodded as he sat down next to a table. "Our jobs kinda depend on our skills....we got cooks, advisors like Akira here, fighters which is everyone really, medics and tactitians."
"White Demon huh? Guys with white hair colors really do have nicknames depending on it doesnt it" Said Shakuro after he removed his smile and looked closer at Zero "I'll take tactican and you dont look all that demonic ha maybe your bankai has a something demonic but not your hollow mask haha, Yes Kezo told me your a Vizard damn im gonna love this place" Shakuro smiled again and walked to Kezo "Well im off for now got a class to teach i dont finish early like you ya know" Shakuro left the base to go back to teaching at the school, Kezo looked at an angry Zero "You'll get used to him......maybe." "Proberly...we'll see, and i'm called the white demon for my spiritual power." Zero unleashes a burst of his spiritual power showing how dense and grim it is "And my mask does take a more demonic form but no one in the soul society has seen it."
Kezo stepped back a little "Yeah.....sure, No one saw my hollow mask either well have fun and be carefull with you do that spiritual power release okay" Kezo started to walk away "Show off" He said while putting on a smile. Zero smirks "Yeah yeah sure....Next time make it to lunch!!"
"Whatever i wasnt even hungry till ya mentioned lunch which i missed" Kezos stomach growled as he walked away, Later he and Shini were sitting and eating riceballs in a resteraunt "Cmon gimme a rice ball just one" Said Shini while trying to reach a rice ball from Kezos hand "You greedy bastard" Shini sat down upset his back towards Kezo, He saw a rice ball fall on his head Shini looked happy and ate it "Yummy" He said happily "Dont forget to brush your teeth" Said Kezo to Shini, Shakuro saw and came to Kezo he sat infront of him on the same table "Hi Kezo hows it going? Hows snow white doing?" Kezo looked unamused by Shakuros joke "Hes pretty pissed at you, You just couldnt keep your thoughts for yourself could ya?" Shakuro scracthed his head "You know me i cant keep away a good joke"
"Well dont do that again dont want ya getting yourself killed on the first time on meeting a serious Shinigami" Shakuro looked puzzled by Kezos last statement "Serious? Arent you a serious Shinigami? Oh wait i get it serious in personality not in job oh now i get it" "No you dont" Kezo said after Shakuro finished his sentence "Well im off see ya tommorow Kezo and dont let Shini eat from the ground will ya?" Shakuro walked away
The next day Kezo and Shini came to the base "Hey Zero ya here?" Zero isn't inside the castle he's at the main training arena teaching some of the newer members the finer points of swordfighting in his own special way.....free sparring, Kezo saw Zeros training and scratched his head, He walked towards him "Hi Zero anything new?" Just as Kezo asks his question finishes his lesson by sending one of the recruits flying back with a quick jab to the stomach. "Remember you guys....always think don't rush in and blitz your opponant, learn their patterns and overcome them!" Zero bowed to the group and walks towards Kezo "I'm good....just teaching some of the less experienced members the finer points of combat."
"I can see that by the fact there beating each other up" Kezo sighed "But what the hell? So are we gonna do any......You know work like stopping some Arrancars or Hollows or something?" "Well i've mentioned to everyone that they can go out when they want or need to....If they need back up they can tell us via these!" Zero pulls out a touch-screen cellphone type device. "A handy little toy one of the more tech-savvy members thought up."
"Ah huh were did ya get that?" Said Kezo as he looked at the cell phone "Like i said one of the members made it....he got loads made by him and his team all the groups out on the field hunting have them....there a good afew more...enough for atleast 2000 people in the armory." Said Zero as he played one of the games on the device. "Ah! I'm late!" the young blue-hair man ran towards the temple, shocked at the scene he was looking at. "This old temple?" he was apalled, but decided to go in anyway. Following the directions the weird man, Zero, gave him, he finally found himself at the paradise. Having ran to get to this place, he raised his hands and exclaimed, "I'm finally here! This place was hard to find, Zero joukyuu," he said in between his gasps for air. "Your about a day late.....i gave you clear instructions." Sighed Zero as he put his device away "Hope this isn't a common thing for you getting lost, Seishin." "Actually, I was late because of Seishi and Kenshin, but those people are... nevermind. They forced me to stay with them for an hour, then it became two and eventually a sleep-over. Those guys just never let me get out of the place. I'm sorry that I'm so late, joukyuu," Seishin did a 90 degree bow to Zero. "No need to bow...." Said Zero "I'm not one for formalities....i find them annoying when used all the time." "Oh, my family lineage doesn't really allow me to speak informally, but I'll try my hardest. Is it alright if I call you joukyuu though? I have a habit to treat my seniors with the respect needed. If it's not, then, I guess I'll try to stop that," Seishin said, trying hard to speak informally. His family absolutely did not tolerate disrespect, and over the years of being close to the Matayoshi made it become a habit for Seishin.
Zero shrugged "Fair enough....i don't see it as a form of disrespect....it allows me to see the person's true personality not what someone has taught them and forced them to use all the time....i come from a rich family i've given up on showing total respect to ya seniors..." Kezo looked at Seishin as if he saw him before "You remind me of a student i had in my class last year do you by any chance know him? Like any relations?"
Shiro overheard the conversation. "Hard to find? I didn't even need Fullbring to find this place." she stated hurridly. "Never mind, I probably shouldn't make you feel worse because someone you know made you late."
"It's fine. I apologise for coming late," Seishin said tilted his head down, before looking at Kezo, "I take it that you are a teacher, sir. It depends on what school you teach in. I have many friends scattered all over Japan, and some in other countries. By the way, Zero joukyuu, what are the goals for this group? If it has something to do with saving the world, I'm pretty sure most of my friends would like to join in. Especially him, even though he's indifferent. Oh, forgive me for rambling, it's a habit of mine I have to kick off," Seishin continued, thinking about a green-hair individual, who was cold, yet nice. "Our goal is simple..." Said Zero "Do what the Gotei 13 do but with alot more freedom and equality. I don't treat anyone here as lessers unless they act without honor or respect."
"Sounds fair enough for me" Said Kezo and turned to Seishin "And i teach in Karakura towns high school" "Then I doubt so, since most of them live in a place, and it's not Karakura. Though I'm sure my friends would join in," Seishin commented, before asking, "So, what are supposed to do now?"
Shiro smiled. "We wait for our orders of course. Until then, I don't exactly know what to do." she said calmly. "Well, actually, I'm gonna go read a book about vampires. Got to know exactly what my friends have to face during their little bounty runs." she added, thinking of the Reikon Kyuuban, a group of vampires, or so she was told.
The First Operation[]
After several days of light skirmishes against The New Arrancar Army, something big happened several large units came through from Heuco Mundo and began attacking anything that moved. Meanwhile back at the base Kezo and Shini were sitting in spot within the paradise, Kezo was reading some papers while Shini slept "You lazy bum ghaaaaaa im bored nothing to do but check this paper works why did i become a teacher?" "Kezo, Shini we got an attack large numbers of Arrancar are all over Karakura...i've sent out the others to intercept them...i need you to to act as back up for the team in the downtown districts." Said Zero before he vanished.
Seishin felt high reiatsu as he played around with Seishi and Kenshin. "I think there's an Arrancar nearby," he smiled, before saying goodbye and walking away. As he got closer, he realised that one Arrancar couldn't have that much reiatsu, even if they are the best Espada. "There must be a group of them," he muttered to himself, before unsheathing his sword and getting ready for battle. Zero the appeared on the outskirts of Karakura with several members of the group. "Ok you guys set up a defensive position and take out any that get past me" Said Zero as he ran towards the gathering Arrancar. "He gets all the fun." As the fullbringer that joined him said as he hid behind a rock. Zero activated his Shikai and leaped into the middle of several Arrancar cutting down multiple enemies before they start to counter him.
Kezo had went into his Shinigami form while Shini who had gotten into his body was hiding behind a tree "Please dont get any Arrancars in here" Said Shini in a scared tone, Kezo sighed and used Shunpo to get to the Arrancars quicker, When he reached a group of Arrancars he was immediatly surounded by a few Arrancars, He looked around and unsheathed his sword "I wish this wasnt sunday"
Shiro stook away from the battle, a simple wooden sword in her left hand and her deck of tarot cards straped to her right thigh. Her specialty was magic and ranged combat. She drew her first card, revealing the Magician, creating a energy circle that ensnared some of the Arrancar, constricting them. Meanwhile Zero is beating all the Arrancar coming at him. The three other members of the group who joined him watch in amazement at his skills. Zero stabs one Arrancar spinning to the right to dodge an attack from another. After the spin he grabs his sword in a reverse grip pulling it out the first unlucky Arrancar and slashing several more as he does. He then smirks as another 25 appear and charge him, his reply to their charge is Ryū no Ejji he sends 4 dragon shaped blasts at them exploding on impact and killing 5 of them and injuring the rest. He then vanishes and appears behind the rest cutting them down in a blitz of sword and foot. As the gate closed he smirked and walked off only to be ambushed by one final Arrancar.
Meanwhile Kezo was still fighting the Arrancars who were coming towards him using his Shikai release, Suddenly an Arrancar apeared behind him and knocked him to the ground crating a small crater, Kezo got up and saw Shakuro next to him "Hi Kezo having fun being beat up?" Said Shakuro smiling towards Kezo "Just help me out will ya" Said Kezo with a calm tone and went back to the Arrancars
Seishin sighed as he thought, "These are the times where I wish I hang out with Shuuji more than Seishi and Kenshin." Seishin released his Shikai, "Reflect, Fuhen Senritsu," he called. He released soundwave towards one of the arrancar who had a smug look on his face, hurting his arm. Back at Zero, he is fighting on equal power against the newly discovered Espada. Both are unleashing their immense speed and powerful Cero. However as Zero thinks he's about to land the death blow the Espada unleashes his sword's true power taking the form of a humanoid dragon. As Zero backs up to gain the upper-hand the Espada unleashes a blast of fire burning a long strip of land behind Zero who uses his Shikai's shield to block the blast of heat, he then dashes from teh now dispersing flame to land a deep cut on the Espada's shoulder. "Ya know Espada i've noticed something....you didn't introduce yourself.....Most Espada are egotistical morons who need to state their name as a sign of power." The Espada points to his throat showing a large scar over his vocie box. "Ohhhhh a mute Espada....very well, en guard here i come!" Zero vanishes and lands another blow to the Espada's back then vanishes again landing another cut, he repeats this again and again until he lands the death blow.
Meanwhile Kezo was still fighting the other Arrancars as he was using his Shikai and looking at Shakuro "Okay seriously help me dammit" Shakuro looked at Kezo and yawned, He pulled the card from his hat "Fine ill give ya a hand, Dark Days" Shakuros card turned into a black scythe, He looked at the Arrancars and sent a large dark reiatsu slash at them cutting all of them in half "There ya happy?"
Shiro was fighting an Arrancar that had slipped past her card's effect, holding her own with just the wooden blade, which she modified with Fullbring to withstand nearly any kind of sword based damage. She managed to land a knock-out blow by hitting the base of the neck. She quickly used Fullbring to again change the properties of her sword, making it sharp enough to kill, and drove the sword into the Arrancar's skull, killing it.
"Say goodbye to your arm, arrancar," Seishin smirked slightly, having already forgotten the thrill of fighting seriously from staying in that place playing with Kenshin and Seishi. He continued to clash swords with the arrancar with one arm. "I'll have you know I was the Fracción of the great Grimmjow," the arrancar boasted. "I'll have you know I was trained by Death himself," Seishin replied, before effortlessly slicing the arrancar's other arm off.
Kezo and Shakuro were still fighting many Arrancars that were coming in towards them "How many of those broken mask freaks are there anyways?" Said Shakuro while still fighting Arrancars with his Fullbring "Dont know myself there just gonna keep on coming till they get bored or something" Kezo replied "Well ive had it then" Shakuro then used his complete Fullbring, His scythe gained a more demonic apearance with two blades on both sides, Red eyes in the middle of the two blades and threads that looked like spirit threads flowing down from the middle, He also got a black cloak his face didnt apear only two red eyes and his smile were visible "My complete Fullbring of Dark Days will make night come early and make it eternal for my enemies" Shakuros cloak suddenly turned into many arms chasing and killing the Arrancars he captured, He then sent a larger dark reiatsu slash from his scythe making a large part of Arrancars get killed.
After dealing with the final wave of Arrancar in his area Zero decided to check on the other, all seemed fine until he sensed a new Arrancar who wasn't a member of The New Arrancar Army but a lone Arrancar. He tried to judge his destination and saw he was heading towards Shiro, once he saw this he vanished before the 3 allies he brought to the fight could get close to him. As he went he activated his Bankai to catch up with the Arrancar.
Shiro felt the Arracar get close to her. "So, you're the last one? Wait, you don't seem like the chumps I took out a second ago. Who do you work for?" she asked calmly. "Yes...my benifactor as requested i take you hostage girl..." Said the Arrancar calmly. "I am Girkur...."
Seishin sealed his Zanpakutō, fighting the urge to slice the new arrancar into half, continuing the thrill he had. "I should just sit back and watch the fight. If anything goes wrong, I'll just step it. That's what I should do," he muttered to himself, as he sat on a nearby rock, trying to keep his reiatsu at bay.
Kezo and Shakuro finished the Arrancars on there side, They both then looked at each other and smiled "We should do this more often its way more fun then teaching" Said Shakuro and laughed "Well it would be better then that but we would be late alot and have to come up with the reasons why" Replied Kezo "Hmmmm? Who is this reiatsu coming from?" Said Kezo with a little worried tone in his voice, Shakuro looked at Kezo confused "Your sensing some strong power or something?" "Yeah but it could just be from another Arrancar group come on they aint gonna kill themselves thats for sure" Kezo and Shakuro headed off to the same location as Shiro and Zero. Girkur apporched Shiro reaching out to her but as he gets close Zero appears and drop kicks him in the head sending him stumbling away slightly. "I'd leave if i was you..." Zero said visably angry in Bankai and Hollow Mask. "Well it's you....i was hoping i wouldn't have to draw my blade....but oh well." Girkur drew his sword and vanished appearing behind Zero and attempting to attack but Zero counters with a wild backfist. Girkur avoids the attack again stabbing Zero in the stomach, then withdrawing back.
Zero stumbled from the injury unable to use his meditation techniques to heal the wound due to his anger, he charges only to be cut again by the calm Arrancar. As he drops to a knee he tries to tackle Girkur only to be knocked away and stomped into the ground several times.
Shiro took the time to prepare an effective strike while the Arracar's back was turned to her. She drew one of the most powerful cards in her deck, the Star. Using it's effect, she created a massive ball of flames, focused them into a compressed form and fired, creating a large blast of flame that under normal circumstances would have destoyed a good portion of the area, but something felt off, her power was weakened just enough to make the Starlight attack less then leathal.
Shakuro and Kezo reached the area where they sensed the spiritual energy, They ended up getting into Zero and Shiros battle with Girkur "All that reiatsu from just him its immensly large hehehe guess ill get some fun" Said Shakuro as he gripped onto his black scythe with both his hands "Dont get so careless have you ever fought anyone with this much power before?" Shakuro looked at Kezo after he finished talking "No but i dont care i wanna fight someone strong" Kezo silenced from Shakuros last words and they both turned to Girkur
Seishin continued watching the battle from afar. "This is interesting. That girl is pretty good, but why do I sense tiredness. Hmm. That isn't good. Should I step in? Or should I not? At times like this, I would like a rose. I wonder if there's a flower shop nearby," he thought, not realising the arrancar whose name was Girkur was fighting intensely with all the members of the newly formed group. "Am I on the losing end? Meh. I think they'll be perfectly fine without me. A Vizard and about four Shinigami. Maybe I should step in," he muttered to himself, before seeing a flower shop nearby, "Oh great! There's a flower shop!" Seishin shouted nonchalantly, "You guys would be fine without me, right? I'm just going to get a rose to decide whether or not I should join the fight. See you later!"
Zero launched a Cero across the path of Kezo and Shakuro. "This is my fight! No one will get involved." He then charged angerly at the Arrancar who countered him only to be caught by one of Zero spirit blades across the chest. Zero getting nocked over by the counter attack sprang up and attacked again and again each time getting beaten back by the much calmer Arrancar. Eventually Zero found himself in his inner world as his body kept fighting. "Well your doing poorly, eh Captain?" Said a psychotic yet compsed voice. Zero turned around to see his Inner Hollow standing there smirking at Zero's failiur. "Well why don't you help more?!" Zero shouted as he stepped forward only to stop as his Inner Hollow raise his hand. "Ya think i'd just bring ya down here if i din't have a....business deal for ya?" Zero looked puzzled as the dark reflection fo himself began to pace around him in a circle. "It's simple really i can give you access to a Resurrección like Girkur there....it'll give you a real edge to the fight...on one condition..." The Inner Hollow smirked. "Anything....why is the condition?" Stated Zero. "Simple really after it vanishes....after 5 minutes of activating you'll spent 2 weeks in a coma so we can spar." "Thats it?" Asked Zero and the Inner Hollow nodded "Yep of course if you use it with Bankai you'll be unable to release your Zanpakuto for afew minutes." Zero held out his hand "Deal!" The Inner Hollow laughed and shook his hand as a white light engulfed them in the inner world and engulfed his body in the human world. After the light vanished Zero stood there with a new look. His right arm gained a black flesh like appearence as did the cheeks of his mask. His hair grew to his waist line and his spiritual pressure grew to the point it felt like gravity itself was under his mercy. Zero chuckled "I've only got 5 minutes so lets make this quick!" He then vanished without a sound and appeared behind the stunned Arrancar and kicked him into the ground.
Shiro panted after her fires burned out. When she turned her attention back to the battle, she gasped. Zero was different from before. What is that? she asked herself, trying to think of something. I can't risk drawing a card right now, especially because I have a gut feeling what it's gonna be, and knowing my bad luck, I'm right.
"He used a Resurrección? I guess thats what happens when your Inner Hollow is in agreement with you" Kezo said while looking at Zero "So thats just a lame old get your former hollow powers Resurrecciónbig deal by the way why is it in spanish?" Shakuro looked at Kezo while he talked "Dont ask me im not an Arrancar" Kezo looked at Shakuro
Shiro decided it was now or never. Focusing on what she wanted to draw, she revealed the next card, Death. However, her bad luck decided to rear it's ugly head. The Death card was upside down, forcing Shiro to pass out for now visable reason, the curse of the Death card, effectively putting her into a coma for a few days. Her last cohesive thought was a moment of fear that everyone would mistake her as dead, the curse actually making her appear dead in all forms, vital signs below the bare minimum to function, unresponsiveness, all in all a very cold fate.
Seishin just got back from the flower shop, holding a rose, peeling each petal off. When he was down to the last petal, he said, "So I will." He swiftly carried Shiro to a safe place, even though he thought she was dead. "Might as well die in peace anyway," he muttered. He got into the battle, unsheathing his sword.
Kezo and Shakuro got to Seishin "I think you should let Zero take of that guy" Said Kezo to Seishin "Plus i need to see this." Zero continued his barrag until Girkur unleashes his sword trying to level the playing field. He tried to attack several times only to be beaten back again and again. Zero then summoned one of the new spiritual blades that his Bankai allows him to use and lands several cuts to Girkur before landing a fatal strike, as Girkur fell to the ground Zero appear below him and just as Girkur landed Zero's power faded and he fell to one knee as another Garganta openned and another Arrancar wearing the sash of Danzo's Espada #3 stepped through. "Well seems his power has faded now for me to finish this..." The Espada charged a cero but it was stopped by an energy blast from an unknown fighter. As the Espada tried to figure out what happened a beautiful Shinigami appeared with a smirk on her face. "The name is Ayane Kyomitsu....eldest child of the Kyomitsu Clan head and girlfriend to Takeo Ichinari" She stated while pointing to herself and Zero respectfully. The Espada smirked as he scanned the battlefeild counting the members of Tsurugi no Teisei as more arrived "Well i would say my welcome has been over stayed.....Goodbye" The Espada bowed as he stepped back through the Garganta and vanished as it closed.
Shiro, although unable to funtion, could sense the disappearance of the Arrancar she was fighting, and more allied forces had come to aid them. She tried to fight off the ghostly nightmare that was the Death card's reverse effect, but as always it was a pointless endevor. No matter what happened, her destiny was already decided once she drew even the first card, and now she had to, as the saying goes, give the Devil his due. Unless her friends got to her, she was effectively stuck.
Kezo looked at Zero who was on his knee "How did you do it? How did you use Resurrecion?" Kezo asked Zero
Seishin looked around, "I missed out on the action. If you need me, call me. I'm going back to sparring with the idiots," Seishin waved his hands, "Goodbye!" Ayane walked up to Takeo as he began to fall. "Takeo! you ok?!" she shouted. "I'm fine....just gonna be out for a couple of weeks...don't....worry about....me....." Said Takeo as he passed out in Ayane's arms. Ayane looked up at the gathered group. "I take it you have a base....take me to it so we can get him comfy..." Ayane stood up with Takeo's arm over her shoulder and him hanging at her side completly out cold.
Kezo and Shakuro took Ayane to the base, And got Takeo to a comfy bed, Kezo looked at Ayane "So......His real name is Takeo Ichinari?"
New Beginnings[]
Two weeks after the first battle with Danzo's Arrancar, the injuried are all healed have been celebrating for two weeks straight at the request of Ayane. All are attending the final and biggest party, all except Takeo who is still in a coma from using his Resurrección. While Ayane is trying to get Kezo drunk to which he isn't budging Takeo starts to move, his Spiritual pressure begins to rise and suddenly hsi eyes open with a burst of dense and powerful spiritual pressure. He then sits up gets dressed and walks to the party. Meanwhile at the party which has been in full swing since 5AM, hasn't started to cool down members are still getting drunk and laughing. Most are talking about what they did in the fight against Danzo's forces or what they did before joining the group. Ayane is also still trying to get Kezo to drink more.
Shiro walked over to Kezo, having been the only one who kept a clear head since she woke up nine days ago, and tried to play the devil's advocate to Ayane. "You know, too much booze in your system can, and will if our luck is to be believed, make you do the dumbest things you could think of doing, like, I dunno, play a game of chance where you'd be willing to bed all the money in your current possession."
Kezo looked at Shiro "I dont really care what dumb things i do and what i dont do, After all im a Shinigami im already dead, Yet it doesnt mean i dont care about what happens to me though the money i possess currently and how much will i be willing to bed huh?..." Kezo looked at Shiro for a while then turned to Shini who was a little grumpy "C'mon im a mod soul does it matter what i drink this isnt even my real body" Said Shini in an angry tone, Kezo then put a cup of sake infront of Shini who began to drink it and then turned back to Shiro "Depends on what the thing im betting on with my money."
Takeo then entered the room which caused all but Ayane who by this point in time was too drunk to really care, to fall silent. "Depending on what time of day it is....morning or afternoon...." said Takeo rubbing his left eye in a sleepy manner. He then took a step into the room to which everyone cheered at his return.
Shiro noticed all the comotion and looked over her shoulder to see Takeo, who she still knew as Zero, standing there. "Hold that thought Kezo. We'll finish this later." she said before running up to Takeo and tackle-hugged him. "You nitwit! You've been out cold for two weeks...although I only remember the past nine days of it." she said, half crying and half laughing. "Don't scare me like that." Takeo caught her and smirked stumbling slightly "Sorry....It won't happen again...i hope." Just as Takeo saw Ayane charging at him who jumps and joins the tackle hug knocking nhim over onto his rear. "Gah?!...Nice to see you to Ayane." Ayane smiled at him giving him a kiss on the lips. "Your a ass, ya know that right?" Takeo returned the kiss and smiled "You say that about everyone though."
Kezo looked at them while they were hugging "Jeez get a room will ya oh wait this is a party so a room is pointless" Kezo then got up and looked around "Hmmm" He then walked over to Takeo "So how was sleeping for two weeks been?" "In all honesty....tiring...i was dueling my Inner Hollow...thats why i was out for two weeks....part of the deal to get my Resurrección...now i'll just be unable to use my Shikai, Bankai or Hollow powers for 5 minutes after using it with my Bankai." said Takeo as he got out from under the two woman dog pile. By now the others should notice his eyes, his left being gold and his right being blood red.
Shiro pried herself from under Ayane. "Still I wonder, what happened to that Hollow? I didn't see the aftermath, so I can only assume that he's dead, right?" she asked. "He was an Arrancar, but he's dead now...." Said Takeo as he walked over to a table and sat down. "Only problem is he wasn't a member of Danzo's Horde....Which worries me..." Takeo sighed as he began to eat some noodles. "Ya know Takeo....both our families are looking for evidence to prove your innocence...will just take them...once we have the evidence we can join forces with the 13 Guard Squads and take him down." Ayane said with an optomistic smile on her face. "Won't be that easy Ayane..." said Akira "From what Zero said Danzo won't be easy to beat." Zero sighed "Ya can call me Takeo....my real name, as a certain someone has let it slip." Zero glared at Ayane as she blushed and scratched the back of her head "Sorry how was i suppose to know?"
"She has a good point, Not like ya mailed her anything like hi honey im gonna be changing my name to Zero for i dont know how long so dont slip it out okay? like that kind of mail" Kezo said and looked at Takeo "By the way are there any rice balls in this place im hungry" Kezo walked over to a table with rice balls and started to eat some, Shakuro looked at Akira "So your a fullbringer huh? Im a fullbringer to, Its the card on my hat that i use to activate my fullbring what about you?" Akira took out his Dog-Tags with the bullet hole visible. "These are my focus....i'm a former US Marine." Zero looked at Kezo "That sounds really smart....i'm wanted for the attempted assassination of a member of the Royal Family...Ya really think i'm gonna risk the safety of her as well as both our clans? The Gotei 13 already hate my clan enough, i don't wanna give them a good reason to wipe them out."
Takeo then looked at Shiro "Hey Shiro...there is something different about ya? Your spiritual energy has changed...Can anyone else sense that?" Ayane nodded slightly "Yeah it seems stronger....Denser, ya know she might've nah that couldn't have happened." "Ya mean gain Shinigami powers? Well her Spiritual Pressure does come of as Shinigami grade...low level but still Shinigami."
Shiro looked puzzled. "What do you mean? There's no way I could have gained that much...I mean my dad is a retired Shinigami and everything, but he said it take years more for my Shinigami powers to appear."
"I think it has been years i can feel your spiritual pressure from over here which is kinda bothering me while im eating" Kezo said while he was seating on another part of the party eating some rice balls. "What ya mean Kezo?....Anyway lets see if she does have the kind of power i'm guessing she does..." Takeo gets up and walks to the wall behind him taking a chest and openning it to pull out a red gloves with a flaming skull on it. "This should prove what i'm guessing...." Said Takeo as he put the glove on and walked to Shiro. When he reached her he placed his hand on her head and pushed her spirit out of her body to prove when he's been guessing.
Shiro screamed. "What the heck?! You killed me! Great...How are me and that smart guy at school supposed to go on a date?" she asked, clearly distraught and confused.
"A smart guy at school hehe date looks like someone here has a boyfriend hahaha" Said Kezo while still eating rice balls "But seriously though you are shinigami now might as well use ya Shikai and see what it is sometime soon it would be really helpful in alot of situations." "Kezo she won't be able to release her Zanpakuto until she knows it's name The only one i heard able to do that was Zaraki but thats cos the psycho has so much power." Takeo then smirked at Shiro "Though it would be cool to see her powers as we train her." Ayane still slightly drunk hugs Shiro "You look sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute in your Shinigami robes hon!" Akira then smirked and saluted "Nice to see ya got some strength ma'am." The rest of the group within the hall cheer loudly and begin to drink more. "I'm starting to think we have a group of alcoholics......"
Shiro smiled. "Thanks you guys. And yeah, those drunks need to stop, it's been two weeks already. Such a long party will cause one heck of a hangover." She pulled away from Ayane. Ok, these robes are way too comfortable, I could get used to this.
Kezo walked behind Shiro and looked at her "Hmmm you look pretty good in robes reminds me of when i first saw my......nevermind" Kezo walked infront of Shiro and next to Takeo "So shes gonna need training to use her Shikai since knowing its name is first step of using it" Kezo crossed his arms and yawned "Is it late already?" "Not really....besides i got an announcement." Takeo went over to a stage the otherside of the hall and stood there. "Ok listen up...there are gonna be some changes to this group, first beign the addition of Division...6 to be exact and they will cover combat, stealth, medical, R&D, Security and Education. If you want to join either one of these Divisions come talk to me after i've organised it with the others back there. Also another thing....I have arranged with some of my clan members to build us an large base on Ukeshima island, it'll be ready in afew months, by that time i hope that the name of this group will be clear and we can start recruiting new members publicly. Thats it thanks for listening...oh and enough with the booze. Everyone get some rest."
"Good idea. I haven't slep in nine days. Mind helping me back into my body? I haven't exactly figured out how to get back in to it." Shiro said, obviously tired after all the partying.
Kezo walked to Shiro while carrying her body, He put Shiro's body next to her and stepped back a little "Just walk to the sleeping you and your all good unless something happens to your body that is" Kezo put his hands in his pockets "Hmmmm why do i have the feeling i forgot something" Said Kezo while thinking, Then Shini fell right next to him from somewhere Kezo looked at Shini who was dizzy "Oh right i forgot Shini alright then mutt get up were going home and i hope you havent drinked alot" Kezo said to Shini and began to walk but stopped to wait for Shini who was apparantly drunk "Can Mod Souls even get drunk?" "Not sure i guess they can...but in the mean time i'll get some of the egg-heads to make a Mod Soul for Shiro....but until they're recovered i can't do much so i'm gonna train for abit." Takeo said as he walked out the door to the Manifestation Training room, to sparr with his Zanpakuto spirit.
Shiro walked into her her body and awoke in her body. Once she was able to get her berings, she walked towards the door. "Unless it's something important, try to keep it down, ok?" she asked jokingly.
" Hey wait a sec Shiro" Kezo walked to Shiro and gave her a Mod Soul pill "I found this Mod Soul a few days ago didnt have anything to put it in so here take it i dont need it i already have one Mod Soul" Kezo said pointing at the drunk Shini "But hopufully your Mod Soul wont be such a pain." Meanwhile Takeo had already used the power of the Manifestion Hall to summon his Zanpakuto spirit to the real world, and had begun sparring with him. They dashed around the hall striking with immense force. "You've gotten better Takeo.....i can really feel those strikes." said the now older Ryū no ken with a smirk. "Same to you old friend." Said Takeo as he attacked once again, this time kicking at Ryū's head but this attack was avoided and countered with a slash for his other leg. Takeo counter that technique with a dive-bomb strike just missing Ryū. Eventually they both use Ryū no Ejji causing the sparring match to be a draw. Takeo then left after 3 more rounds of sparring to meditate in his room while Ayane slept.
Shiro fell onto her bed, exhausted. Before closing her eyes, she checked her communicator from the PSDA, only to find no messages or incoming communications. They're probably busy with other missions. she thought, passing out in minutes.
Meanwhile Kezo, Shini and Shakuro were walking back home though Kezo was carrying Shini because Shini was too drunk to walk "Man why wont i just get the pill out and carry it instead ill get him a different body if i need to but this.......Is just annoying" Said Kezo while thinking of throwing Shini of the bridge "C'mon Kezo it could be worst right?" Shakuro told Kezo knowing what Kezo was thinking of doing "Just dont throw him while still in the body" "I'll throw 'em even if it haunted me he smells" Kezo tried to seal his nose from Shini's smell but couldnt because he was carrying Shini with both his arms "His in a dead dogs body what did you expect?" Said Shakuro laughing at Kezo "Well lets get back home we have a long day tommorow" "Yeah" the two kept on walking home
