btw good chap. :Domo

[Vace]

CLEARENCE!

Vace/Julius was so strong because remember it was a Captain level Shinigami and a Vasrolorde hollow fused together. That hollow is already considered stronger than a captain level on its own. Also note he is defused now so the two are normal again. Yet Julius now has his inner hollow awakened, and Vace's mask is starting to peel off. That is all I can say for now but there is somthing that will ultimatly lead Julius to power, and due to Vace being above Vastrolorde and having Aizen use the gem to transform him rather than doing it naturally you will see power. Yet Aizen is still Aizen, who knows what he may do to the fic. No more spoilers, planning out the next ARC!

[Silhouette]

Interesting... Erm. There wouldn't happen to be a scene where Samanosuke gets pwned by a small rabbit...in any future chapters...would there?

[Kibe]

*ish the small rabbit*

[Undying]

There's just one problem... Samanosuke likes small rabbits. They (the rabbits) and him are really good friends... they'd never pwn him, they'd protect and cherish him.

[Vace]

Chapter 14- Coffee Talk

The room was large and had two long tables at either side. Seated at the large tables were all the Captains and Vice Captains for the twenty divisions of Seretei. Few of the seats were unoccupied for various reasons, such as Julius’s and the three seats to the traitors. The one seat however which was strangely unoccupied however belong to Seidou.

At the front of the room stood another Large table where Yammato sat beside Krice and another man who wore thick brimmed glasses and was holding a large leather book.

Yammato fingered through various pages of a large file in a vanilla folder as the various occupants of the room bickered amongst themselves.

Rhen, Thelindra, and Samanoske sat next to each other at the table on the left side and talked amongst themselves as the hearing began to get underway.

-Thelindra: I don’t really understand this Taicho. I mean the hearing and all? Isn’t Julius already guilty?

-Samanoske: That remains to be seen and decided upon by this committee hearing. You see it is being determined by cross referencing known fact with whatever other info we can get on him to determine his threat level to Seretei if any. You must remember I knew Vace before he became evil, but I know next to nothing about Julius.

-Rhen: So what’s your take on all this?

-Samanoske: No idea, but my cards are out of the League of Shadows now and yours should be too. I am not going to stray from Seretei ever again, look how it turned out. We were all used as pawns. I personally hope he is brought to justice the prick.

-Rhen: For some reason I really disagree.

-Samanoske: Meh you would, but me and Thelindra know what he has coming.

Thelindra looked toward the ground with a concerned look on her face while Samanoske looked toward Yammato examining his facial expressing.

Yammato pounded on a gavel and the room fell into a silence as he stood up from his seat an looked over the occupants of the room.

-Yammato: Some of you understand, while others don’t the importance of this meeting. As of now Seretei is in a rather large bind, and discovering and bringing to light all traitors at a time like this is rather important. Now Vace was an evil maniacal beast, but now we are hear to decide what is to come of Julius. We now call on our first defendant Seidou.

Seidou entered with his hands cuffed in front of him and being led in by several guards on either side. Seidou was looking down and walked forward calmly not showing any real emotion to the situation. The guards stopped once they reached the front and unchained his arms allowing him to take a seat in a large chair in front of Yammato.

Seidou cleared his throat and took time to look around examining the faces of the other individuals surrounding him. He then stopped giving a stare toward Samanoske who seemed to duck his head away and looked off into another direction.

-Yammato: Hakumei Seidou, you are on trial for an attempt on the betrayal of Seretei. Although your actions were to help it, you inevitably still broke many of the various bylaws which our society of souls follows. With this in mind you should be sentenced to expulsion or even death, but under the circumstances we have reconsidered and are charging you with suspension of your captain duties until further notice. Since you have decided not to reveal any information on Julius to us we have decided to press matter further and banish you during your suspension to the human world. Your division will be under the supervision of your Lieutenant until your return. Now that you have been met with the charges are there any last things that you would like to say to us all?

Seidou cracked his neck and then threw his hands threw his hair slicking it back and letting it fall back into place.

-Seidou: What are the rules of my suspension?

-Yammato: You are allowed to do as you please, but note your actions will determine the length of your suspension.

-Seidou: Oh thank god, I thought this was some cruel form of torture. So tell me Yammato how do you expect to figure out that mystery man without me, as your alibi. No one know him better.

-Yammato: Is that so?

The doors behind Seidou opened and a man walked in. He was tall and slender and has blond hair cut up into a fohawk. His facial hair was sort of scruffy looking and his bleu eyes gleamed in the light. At his side was a Zanpakuto with a dark silver guard and a black laced handle. He wore typical shinigami garb, but it looked to be a bit smaller than usual, and formed better around his body.

-Seidou: AIDEN!

-Thelindra: Who is that Taicho?

-Samanoske: Kagare Aiden, the angel that fell from heaven. He is Julius’s old best friend and long time partner.

-Rhen: In the league of shadows?

-Samanoske: No Julius and Aiden were nerve part of the League. They did however help occasionally. The two of them were known as the last of the Oni.

-Rhen: Oni???

-Samanoske: Oni are individuals whose Zanpaku-to’s have a rare trait. Instead of having one personality, they have two.

-Rhen: Two?

-Samanoske: Yes you see most Zanpaku-to’s create a personality that resembles there inner self. But in people who belongs to long lines of high spirited individuals they sometimes have two. Usually a Zanpaku-to falls into Kido, physical, or Standard. Kido utilize attacks which are created using kido. A physical weapons is just a specialized weapons which has no powers other than those derived in design, and a standard is what most people have being that of a mixture. That’s not all they are broken up into though. They are then broken up by power into ranks of one through five. Rank fives are the most powerful while rank ones are nothing to be praised. Still a rank and type do not determine a Zanapaku-to’s value. At the top of this chain is the Oni Zanpaku-to’s. Containing two personalities these types are limited by the wielder. There have been many Oni level Zanpaku-to which go unnoticed, but those who wield one firmly can become the most powerful shinigami in history. Julius and Aiden have them, and got far, but not far enough. I mean in terms of strength Julius and Aiden are only between captain and Lieutenant rank.

-Rhen: Your right, after the separation of Vace and Julius I could feel a significant decrease in power. This guy also isn’t that far above any of the Lieutenants in here. I didn’t really show it, but I was shocked that he wasn’t captain level.

-Samanoske: Don’t underestimate them though, they are still very formidable.

Samanoske looked toward Thelindra who was looking down toward the grown lost in thought.

-Samanoske: What is wrong Thelindra?

-Thelindra: You said two Zanpaku-to personalities is rare?.....I never thought much of it…..

-Samanoske: What are you saying?

-Thelindra: Nothing it is nothing…..

Aiden walked up to Yammato and handed him a file and walked away passing Seidou slowly while glancing toward him. He then proceeded toward the door when Seidou jumped up from his seat and turned.

-Seidou: You god damned no good traitor. How could you ever go into telling them all about Julius. I know there isn’t much to hide, but he would never turn his back on you if he needed it. You know what they will do to him, they will dissect him and study him. Just use him as some god forsaken lab rat to turn Mayuri into more of a freak.

-Mayuri: What did you say!

-Seidou: Oh shut up you white prick you know it to be true.

-Yammato: Enough sit down Seidou!

-Seidou: No I will not sit down untill this bast-

-Yammato: I SEAD ENOUGH SEIDOU!

Seidou turned disgusted with Aiden and slouched in his seat, He looked toward the floor cursing under his breath.

-Aiden: May I go now, or must I be the speculation of more fulse acusations.

-Yammato: You may leave Aiden, thanks for the file on Tasogare Sessou.

-Aiden: Do not mention it.

Seidou looked shocked and turned to say sorry but Aiden was already gone and the doors had shut behind another man in a lab coat carrying a clipboard. The man wore large spectacles and walked briskly toward the front of the room.

-Yammato: Now Jen will give his report on the condition of Julius. Considering his position and history we decided to give this to the research team under Jen’s control to make sure no experiments or mishaps would occur during his watch. The study was also overlooked by members of my squad personally, and my Lieutenant. Jen what do you have to give us.

-Jen: Grave news sadly.

-Yammato: Proceed.

Jen opened the file and then placed his hand into his pocket retrieving a small diamond shaped jewel which he threw into the air and grew into a screen which hovered in front of the room. It then started playing images on either side so that even Yammato and Krice could review the material.
-Jen: As you all know Julius was subject to a rockey and well unstable seperation from Vace. This joining was unatural which also caused some interesting developments. When the two fused using the gem Julius had created it made a custum personality which was a fusion of theirs into one body. Also the Zanpaku-to used was a new hybrid creation resulting in a new personality. Much like when a new shinigami is born they have their own Zanpaku-to, this fusion also had its own Zanpaku-to. This is why when the fusion ended that weapon was destroyed. After seperation everything seemed normal. The Vasto Lorde type hollow that was Vace and the Shinigami Lietenant that had been Julius.

-Kaliadez: He was a lieutenant?

-Yammato: More to be discussed latter, proceed Jen.

-Jen: However things arnt all they seem. This is apparent by Julius’s clthing being inverted in color and the Shinigami mask forming on his face. The Zanpaku-to found near him was Vace’s old one which desolved an hour ago compleetly. We isolated him in a spirit compressed chamber. Three hours ago as you will se in the next picture Julius’s own Zanpaku-to started to reform in its unsealed state. So we know that the seperation worked on that end. What went wrong is the hollowization and the demasking of Vace.

-Hiroshi: Wait you mean to tell me that the mask Vace was wearing is falling off?

-Jen: Yes. If you look back to this slide you can see.

A picture lit up the screen of the Vasto Lorde Vace whose left eye was totally showing through a hole where a piece of the mask had fallen off.

-Jen: At this rate Vace will loose his mask and become an Arrancar, and Julius will be takken over by his hollow.

-Byakuya: So he wont become one of these Vizard’s we have heard about?

-Jen: In theory he should, but that only happens to Shinigami who learn how to supress their inner hollows. We figure Julius is passed out now trying to do just that. He sadly however seems to be loosing for the mask is growing little by little.

-Calrissian: Why is his condition so bad, shouldn’t we turn him over to the Vizard?

-Jen: That might not even work. In theory they should be able to help, but for a man like him it will be difficult.

-Kaliadez: What do you mean.

-Samanoske; Think about it guys, a persons inner hollow is the total opposite of that person in every way. Now those of us who knew Julius back in his days knew of the terrific guy he was. He was truly amazing, am I wrong.
-Byakuya: He never once broke a rule.

-Ukitake: I don’t remember a time where he wasn’t helping somone out.

-Seidou: He sacrificed his life to try and save Vace’s.

-Samanoske: Don’t you see that if he has an inner hollow that is the opposite him, then it will be more vicious than anything we could ever even try to comprehend.

-Jen: That isnt even the worst part.

-Samanoske: It isnt?!

-Jen: As some of you know his Zanpaku-to is Oni class, which means that he will have two of that inner hollow to deal with, one with each of the personalities in his blade.

-Soifon: TWO INNER HOLLOWS!

-Ukitake: My god!

-Jen: As you see this is why he has most likley been unable to supress this hollow, or hollows. At this rate I suggest we compress him in that chamber as long as we can, and if we run out of time throw him into the nexus.

-Rhen: The Nexus?

-Samanoske: A dimension created by Soul Society to send powerfull beings who were uncontrolable. In essence a sort of hellish place. It has only been used a dozen times, and no one knows who has been sent there except for the Central courts. Since that has been placed into ruin it is unknown just what kind of monstrosities could be in their.

-Seidou: Yammato don’t you think that maybe I oculd help him!

-Yammato: You have done enough. Soul Society will do what we can till we find a perminate solution to this problem.

-Seidou: Problem sir, Julius is a friend!

-Yammato: A friend who has all of Soul Society, the living world, and even Hueco Mundo at risk. We have no idea how poerfull he could become. Sure it could be nothing, or it could be dissasterous. Untill this is ascertained this meeting is ajourned.


In Hueco Mundo, in the depths of Aizen pallace a man entered his throne room. It was empty excpet for two Arrancar women on either side of Aizen standing at attention. Behind the man Sessou walked in. The man strode toward him slowly his hands in his pockets. He wore white pants and a long white coat which hung open revealing a whole in his chest where his heart would be. His sash was black and held a white bladed Zanpaku-to with a large guard in place. His hair was light brown and slicked back, and the remains of his hollow mask hovered just above his right eye. He bore a large smile as he storde up toward Aizen and stoped infront of him taking a large bow at his feet.

-Aizen: Rise, and tell me how you are liking Hueco Mundo Vace.

The man with the brown hair rose and looked up toward Aizen with a big smile.

-Vace; I am loving this place, thank you so much Aizen Sama for allowing me to join the ranks of your vast empire.

-Aizen: There is no need for thanks here Vace. After all I always have room for my brother in law.

Sessou stayed seated in his bow growing impatient as he waited.

-Aizen: Sessou, you too may rise.

-Sessou: Thank you Aizen Sama! Our mission as you can see was a success.

-Aizen: A sucsess?

-Sessou: Were my orders not to bring back Vace?

-Aizen: You failed in two of your other objectives.

-Sessou: They were unobtainable my lord.

-Aizen: What have I told you about excuses.

Aizen rose his reitsu which made the room start to shake. Sessou and the two females fe;; pver grasping at their throats for air while Vace stood laughing.

Aizen waved his hand and lowered his reitsu.

-Aizen: You may leave now Sessou, I shall call you if you are needed.

Sessou took a bow and stormed from the room.

-Vace: So tell me my lorde what shall you have me do?

-Aizen: Well how is the gift I gave you.

-Vace: Amazing my lord, who ever imagined the power I could obtain by having you use the Orb of Distortion on me.

-Aizen: So do I have your alligiance.

Vace took a bow and fell to the floor.

-Vace: I am yours to command Aizen Sama. What shall you have me do my lord.

-Aizen: I want you to continue with your expiriment Vace. It should be interesting to see its progresison.

-Vace: And of Sessou?

-Aizen: What of him?

-Vace: Shall I allow him a gracious gift as well?

-Aizen: By all mean, do what must be done my new Arbiter.

-Vace; I will.

-Aizen: So how is your power?

Vace flung himself forward toward the Arrancar stationed to Aizens left and plnged his hand threw her cutting her compleetly in half. Her surprised look showed that she was unable to even see the attack coming. Her top half flew into the air and hit the ground as blood hit tha white wall behind where she had been standing. Vace lifted hi hand revealing that he had his middle finger sticking out.

-Vace; Just fine. I am finnaly the way I should be. I am VACE LORDEE AIZENS NEWEST ESPADA AND ARBITER!


Zaranzo Kibashi, Akako Yuri, and Huiyen walked down the various corridors of Seretei lost in conversation. The sky was pitch black and the moon was full and seemed to fill up the entire sky.

-Kibashi: What do you think of the whole situation with Julius?

-Akako: None really other than that I am just wondering when it will end for the poor guy. I mean he did so much to have all this happen to him, its rather depressing. What do you think Huiyen?

-Huiyen: What do you mean?

-Akako: He was after all your captain.

-Huiyen: Well technically he wasn’t at all. The man I met wasn’t him at all. He was some byproduct of that fusion. I don’t know Julius at all, no one does except for those who had previously met him. I mean it is sad, but the more I think about it, the more I realize how little I know that man. I didn’t know much about him when I served under him, but now I know less.

-Kibashi: Yea I guess your right. I just hope that this wont cause some sort of division in Seretei, the whole Quiren thing. Not even all of them were found too. I heard a lot of them escaped back toward earth.

-Akako: Do you think that we will see them again.

-Kibashi: I bet, that isn’t the last we have heard from them.

Just then a massive explosion far off toward the north lit up the sky. A blue pillar of spirit energy illuminated the entire area and shot smoke and debris everywhere.

The three stood there in astonishment looking toward it as it raged.

-Kibashi: Do you feel that!

-Akako: This spirit presence is intense what is it?

-Huiyen: Its coming form the direction of the holding cell where….TAICHO!

Huiyen started at a mad sprint in the direction of the explosion with her two friends close behind her. The light subdued and darkness crept back over Seretei, for the light that lit up the sky only cast Seretei under a bigger shadow.

Comment IMPUTE!

[Thelindra]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

=O

OMG OMG~!

Aizen/Vace= bro-in-law?! O_O; And i pity the girl which Vace cut in half V_V;

[Undying]

<.<

>.>

This is getting interesting...

[Silhouette]

Nice chapter, but...nvm.

(Odd, it says that Undying was the last to post here, but I only see Thelindra's post..)

{edit}Ok, now his post shows up.. >: /

[Ethanol]

Cool chapter....angelic is gonna be happy that her character finally gets a part. LOL

Things are very interesting indeed....

[angelicdesire]

lol *ish very happy. dances* altho i love how she is always near or in trouble...:p
but no complaints here.

good job vace!!!

and yeah things are getting vry interesting.

[Asuka]

Well, just when things began to calm down...BOOM! The Soul Society is never done being saved it seems. Good chapter.

[Hunni3]

WOooooooooooooW. lol. i like it =)

[Undying]

The good thing about Soul Society is that it is the center of everyone's attention. It can be saved any number of times, half destroyed, and will always stabd again for yet another rather destructive rescue. I always wonder how much budget do they have to rebuild every single thing that blows up there.

[Vace]

Well me and Old Yamma were talking and this years budget is really somthing else. Anyway still writing, and actually creating the Shunto. Very intricit role in the story. Alot of facts and stuff from history going into it. Alot of outside referance so try and catch it. New Arc is almost starting so be ready.

[Undying]

I'm glat to hear that, Vace =).

Oh really, the budget is good? I heard from the Seirei Ou that there was a shortage ever since Aizen left, apaprently he was helping them with his shikai powers.

It's good to hear that the budget's back to good, we need Soul Society to remain destructible XD.

Anyway, enough spamming...

[Trouse]

Heh, haven't been here for a while. Busy with school, I'm in my final year. Anyway, I read the latest chapters, and the story is really good! Better than the Bounto-fillerarc imo. Though it's a shame that my character (Ryu) doesn't show up anymore after the fight a while back. Guess he's been hiding, like the stealth king he is. :P

On a smaller note, I think I have an older pic of Ryu lying around somewhere. I'll go search for it, and scan it. :)

EDIT: Blah, it's blurry and it's drawn on lined paper. I'll post it anyway:

http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/2875/shirogunjinsketchcc9.png

Uh.. yeah. It's a really old and rough sketch of Ryu in Bankai-outfit. Everything is white, except for the amulet, the helmet-thingy and his eyes (the irides, that is). They're all golden.

Please don't kill me. Horrible sketch, I know, but bear with it. :P

[Vace]

Chapter 15- You make me want to break out!

Seidou stood in front of the grand gates leading into the human world.

Thelindra, Samanoske, Krice, Kia, and Toshiro stood in behind him watching as the wind blew by and the sun just barley broke through the clouds.

The gate was being tended to by several Shinigami while Seidou stood quietly looking forward with his Zanpaku-to in hand.

Samanoske and Thelindra walked forward to meet him and exchange some final words before his departure to the human world.

As they approached Seidou reared his head to the side and the turned it back toward the gate.

-Samanoske: Well I guess this is the end of the line for you hear old buddy.

-Seidou: Old buddy, what do you mean by that, oh I get it.

-Samanoske: What are you talking about? I didn’t mea-

-Seidou: You are right to say that, it does imply that we are in fact old buddies and nothing more.

-Thelindra: Taicho why would you say so-

-Seidou: Because it is true.

-Samanoske: I did not sell you out. You were the one who helped and followed that corrupt figure of Vace. You believed in his causes over any other and it led to everything that happened here.

-Seiodu: You did too, before you lost your resolve.

-Samanoske: What the hell did you say!

-Seiodu: You heard me, before you lost the will to fight for what was right and you settled.

-Thelindra: Taicho that is-

-Samanoske: Don’t call him Taicho anymore Thelindra. Even though he is only momentarily suspended, I doubt Yammato will bring a man like him back from his punishment. You should be ashamed of yourself. I did not disband, Julius is separated and safe now that’s all we wanted. Since we obtained that goal I am content on not speaking or acting on anymore of the old ways. The League of Shadows has long since been done. That was before this incident, and before Vace went hollow and killed almost all of us. It was before even Julius came to earth to try and warn us. Why don’t you get that into your head that we accomplished our goal and now Julius is fine.

-Seidou: Is he now? And to think I didn’t know you could be so naive.

-Samanoske: What are you getting at!? You mean that inner hollow, they will find a way t-

-Seidou: No they wont Samanoske, you know what it is like to carry that burden.

-Samanoske: Seidou you have overstepped your boundaries and were never suppose to s-

-Seidou: Oh who cares anymore. Because of us Julius will die a lab experiment. Yammato knows that it cant be subdued while he is unconscious so he knows the only option is to kill him, so why don’t you open your eye’s.

-Samanoske: I am sorry Seidou, but even if that is so one life is better than that of millions over one man. I believe in the will of Yammato, and I will do what is necessary to save lives and to protect Seretei.

Angered Samanoske turned and stormed back to where Krice, Kia and Toshiro. Thelindra stood behind Seidou looking at him with the sun shinning into her eyes through break in the clouds.

-Thelindra: Taicho I-

-Seidou: Theindra I need you to do something for me.

-Thelindra: Sure…..What do you need of me?.....

-Seidou: Get stronger, guide not only you but all of the squad. Do not for one minute let your resolve waver. If you do it will be cut, if you don’t you will overcome all doubt. Shed all fear, leave doubt for the dying. This war is only going to get worse with Vace back at Aizens side. I need you to look after the Division for me.

-Thelindra: Taicho you will be back….wont you?....

-Seidou: Theindra I am not a captain, I never should have been. In my heart and soul I have always been a Lord of Shadow. That is all I will ever be, no matter who is in it or who is not. I do not care about these things. Samanoske will need your help soon. He acts like it is nothing to him now, but soon things will get hard for him. Vace was like a brother to us both, and fighting him will be hard. I ask of you to watch him, make sure he doesn’t do anything rash. Thelindra I can trust you and only you with this task.

-Thelindra: Me….taicho….

-Seidou: Don’t start to tear up now, you need to stay strong. No matter what happens to me or Julius you need to stay on the path you are now. Do not waver for one bit. With Julius imprisoned you’re the only one I can trust now. Oh and one more thing.

-Theindra: Yes Taicho?

Seidou took off the captains jacket and wrapped it around Thelindra. He then reached into a brown leather bag which was slung over his shoulder and pulled out a necklace. The Necklace was a diamond flower which shimmered in the sunlight. It hung from a silver metal line which had two small clips on either end.

-Thelindra: What is it?

-Seidou: You once told me that your Zanpaku-to took the from of your mother, who you have never before met. Well this was an item that belonged to her, she coveted it very much.

-Thelindra: You knew my mother! How did you know her!

-Seidou: She was a Shinigami much like you are now. I knew her very well. She gave that to me, and I knew that one day I would meet you and pass it on. She would have wanted you to have it.

Thelindra started tearing up when the gate behind Seidou blew out spirit particles and shaped into the stream which would take him to the Human world.

-Seidou: Don’t cry kido, you know I can never stand teary goodbye’s.

Seidou turned and headed for the gate. Kia looked out toward her fleeing captain.

-Kia: See you again Taicho! Goodbye for now!

Seidou turned his head while walking and waved.

-Seidou: Never say goodbye, because there is never a need to, always say I’ll see you around.

He walked up to the gate and turned before entering it. He looked straight at Thelindra who was clutching the necklace and the Captains jacket.

-Seidou: See you around Kido.

He then turned and slipped into the stream of particles. After he entered the stream closed and he was gone.
Thelindra returned to the side of Samanoske and the others as they talked.

-Krice: Well as for now I guess with Seidou gone I have my work cut out for me.

-Samanoske: Oh?

-Krice: Yammato has asked me to overlook both divisions on my own. It is gong to be tough work.

-Toshiro: Has he named you the new captain of the fifteenth division yet?

-Krice: No, I guess he is holding it back.

-Kia: You’re going to be the new captain of the fifteenth division?

-Samanoske: Well he was Yammato’s arbiter, so it makes sense to me. He was already pretty much running the division.

-Krice: Please no I wasn’t, I hardly did anything.

-Toshiro: Really?

-Krice: Yea Vace…or Julius did all the work. He handled and took care of everything. I was amazed how great a captain he would have been.

-Telindra: You’re speaking as if he is already dead!

The others turned toward Thelindra who was now angered and red in the face.

-Kia: Theli….

-Thelindra: Just because he has a hollow inside of him doesn’t make him evil. He has done so much for everyone even his best friend and everyone looks down upon him. He risked everything, even his life to save a friend yet we all brand him as a traitor or enemy.

-Krice: Thelindra it is nothing like that, you see we just-

-Thelindra: You just what! You are afraid of him? Is that all. Oh I am sorry is that why you locked him up and are getting ready to kill him?! It makes me sick!

Thelindra turned and stormed off in the other direction with the others left staring in shock at her sudden outburst.

-Samanoske: Thelindra that isn-

-Krice: Actually it is Samanoske…….
-Kia: What! They are going to just kill Julius?

-Toshiro: How are you so certain.

-Krice: Yammato asked me to see to it personally. You see at the rate his hollow is taking over he too will soon be a Vasto Lorde, and much out of our control. So To insure Aizen doesn’t get another ally, we are to kill him in 48 hours if we are unable to suppress his hollow, or he is able to overcome it.

-Samanosek: I see…..So it is going to be death for him after all….I guess he did succeed in saving his friend…

-Krice: Yea it is a shame, at least nothing serious has happened as of late with his inner hollow.

Just then a massive explosion rung out to the north of where they stood. They looked to see a pillar of exploding blue Reitsu rose into the sky accompanied with a mushroom cloud of smoke. They watched in awe as it continued to rise into the sky.

-Kia: What is going on!?

-Toshiro: Samanoske!....

-Samanoske: I know…That reitsu is Julius’s.

-Krice: imposible that chamber should have held him in!

-Samanoske: impossible? Obviously not look at that pillar, we need to go to that location now! We can not let his hollow take him over!


Vace sat in a dim lit room in Hueco Mundo reading over various text that displayed on the screen. Diagrams and charts flashed in front of him as he worked away. Behind him in the doorway Noitora stepped in and looked toward Vace with a gleem in his eye.

-Noitora: So Aizens new pet all alone studying. Why don’t you face it you will never be one of us.

-Vace: Oh is that so? Why do you care all of a sudden, worried I will take your place.

-Noitora: Ha! A pathetic insolent fool like yourself replace me. That is impossible!

Vace stoped typing and stood up slowly where he was.

-Vace: Oh?

-Noitora: I am the strongest Espada THERE IS! I AM THE-

Vace turned and lunged forward hitting Noitora right in the chest and sending him flying backwards into the wall behind him. Noitora looked down to his chest which had a fist mark and blood covering it. He took a deep breath of air as Vace one again lunged at him but noitora drew from behind him his large blade and swung it forward. Vace caught the blade with his hand and threw it to the side giving Noitora a surprised glance and catching him compleetly off guard. He then flung his other hand tightly around his throat sending him to the ground.

-Vace: Who said I would want to take the place of an incelent fool like you. Do you not know who I am. Your number means nothing to me!

Vace let go of Noitora who hit the floor and whitped some blood from his lip. He grabbed and rolled up his sleve revealing a tatoo of a Zero above his wrist on his forarm.

Noitora looked toward the mark and his eye opened up wide.

-Vace: I am Aizens Arbiter and Zero Espada! It is imposible for you to have a lower number than mine!


Seidou walked down a long allyway in the smaller part of the city. The walls around him were cluttered with many colors of graffitti and had old rusted metal sidings and paint that was peeling from the wall. The sun was seeting in the real world and a red haze covered the sky.

Seidou walked down the ally till he emerged outside of it on a street. The street was next to a river and to his right high above him lay a bridge. Beside this bridge was a shop with an old man outside of it. He stayed seated and drank from what looked to be a flask. He placed it back inside of his robe and turned his head to catch Seidou. He almost fell from his chair and stumbled up out of it.

The man had an eypatch over his left eye and was wearing green robes simiilar to that of shinigami robes. The bottoms however were white rather than black. He had white hair that was slicked back.

-Old Man: Seidou is that you???

-Seidou: Old Man Kobushi, we are both dead.

-Old Man: Hahahahaha, it is you, how long has it been?

-Seidou: To long!

Seidou and the man exchanged hands and then they walked over and Seidou took a seat across from him.

-Kobushi: So what do you hear, what do you say?

-Seidou: Hey that is my line.

-Kobushi: Well you were not using it so I thought I would. So what can an old friend like me do for an old friend like you?

Seidou sat up and looked straight at him. He went from a smile to a serious look.

-Seidou: I want to use a room, and I want to reform the League.

-Kobushi: The League?.....You want to reform the league…..but Se-

-Seidou: No buts Kobushi. I need you to do this one thing for me.

Kobushi reached into his uniform and pulle dout his flask opening it slowly and taking a swig.

-Kobushi: I think we need to go inside and have a drink.


Samanoske, Krice, Toshiro, and Kia arrived at the scene. The ground was covered in rubble and fire which was still burning from the explosion. Bodies of sicentists were everywhere and medical units from the fourth division were scowering the remains the reasearch complex. Thelindra was already at the scene and had joined Rhen in conversation. Huiyen, Akako, Kibashi were in another circle talking amongst themselves.

As the they stood there looking over the remains Unohana walked over to meet the captains.

-Krice: What happened here?

-Samanoske: Isn’t it obvious, it was Julius.

-Unohana: We only got here a minute ago as well. Still as far as we can tell, we have no idea how he escaped.

-Toshiro: Any scientists survive?

-Unohana: Yea, all of them.

-Samanoske: All of them?

-Unahana: Yea we interviewed a few that were still concious, they said that Julius wouldn’t kill them. Many of them are badly burnt and need medical treatment.

-Krice: Are there any that can give us a lead on where he is headed?

-Unohana: Yea over here.

Unohana led them to the man from the day before who had spoken on behalf of the science division. His arm was badly scared and burnt and he was having it treated by two female shinigami.

-Krice: Where did he go?

-Jen: He..moved west….fast…you will not catch him…he is heading toward the outer wall…

-Toshiro: We have to try, Unohana you have things takken care of here right?

-Unohana: Yes I should be quite fine.

-Toshiro: Good then lets get going.

-Ren: Wait…..

They turned to look at Ren who was pulling out a small bag. He handed it to Samanoske who oppened it and pulled out a long thin tube. The bag was full of them. They were red and had a small black button on them.

-Ren: It is called…a Reitsu warp….you hold onto it and press the button and you are shot forward and compressed into sprirt matter….you can go through solid walls and everything at lightning speeds…..however you can ont intereact or have something from the physical plan interact with you….once you want to get out let go of the button…..use them…they are the only way to catch him….you can all hold onto one person and use one at a time if need be…..

Samanoske nodded and placed the rest into his pcket. He walked over toward a clearing where there was no rubble and the other two captains followed him. Thelindra walked from where she was and met with them.

-Thelindra: Where are you going?

-Samanoske: To get Julius.

-Thelindra: I am coming too.

-Toshiro: It is way t-
-Thelindra: As acting captain of the ninteenth squad I damand to go,a nd I have just as much say in the matter as you do!

-Toshiro: But you wi-

-Samanoske: Let her come.

-Toshiro: but S-

-Samanoske: I said let her come!

Toshiro noded and Samanoske pointed the tube toward the west. The other three grabbed onto hisarms and held on as he pushed the button on the tube. The four were instantly thrown into a red stream of light that shot forward. It zoomed through walls and people as it shot forwward toward the western gate. The four felt as if they were floatinga nd to themselves appeared to just be phasing through matter as if they were invisible. They looked around to either side as Seretei zoomed past them.

-Krice: So much destruction, who knew that the Quiren could do this much.

-Samanoske: I doubt this was the Quiren. Hold on can you feel that!

The four suddenly moved past a blurred object heading to fast to make out. The blur was moving at a speed which was almost unheard of.

They shot forward past him and moved through more walls.

-Thelindra: Was that-

-Toshiro: Julius…..

They suddenly brok through a huge wall to a clearing before the outer wall and Samanoske let go of the black button which made them all phase back into normal reality. They landed on the ground and recov ered shaking off the after effects of the travel.

The then turned to face the rest of Seretei with their backs to the wall.

-Samanoske: All right get ready everyone can you feel that!

They all removed their Zanpaku-to’s from their sheathes and prepared for the massiv reitus headed toward them.

-Krice: BANKAI!

-Toshiro: BANKAI!
-Samanoske: Tear Across the Grey Skies Raitei!

-Thelindra: Balance!

Their Zanpaku-to’s all transformed and they collected reitsu preparing for the attack. Krice held to huge fangs that turned out to be his blades. Purple haze fell form them as he held them. The guards were bunches of fur and the handles were laced in purple. Toshiro was covered with ice wings and had an ice dragon going down his arm, as was typical for his Bankai mode. Samanoske held his spear with the chain dangling form the back ready to attack and Thelindra held her small shield in anticipation.

The four stood waiting and ready as the reitsu approaching them grew nearer and got heavier.

-Samanoske: This is it!

The whole area was covered in a sort of haze and the whole area started to shake.

-Krice; Holy Shit do you feel that!

Thelindra started to fall forward gasping for breath as she found it hard to breath.

-Samanoske: Thelindra get behind me now.

Thelindra crawled behind Samanoske and was able to breath again. Yet she couldn’t escapes the pressure that was swirling around him from Julius’s spirit force for he was only blocking it form hitting her directly.

-Krice: That’s how he got so far without killing anyone, he used this spirit force to make them pass out.

-Samanoske: I just hope he isn’t wanting to shed some blood, because this could get interesting.

They all faced forward as the building in front of them was blown into pieces. Smoke billowed out from where it had been and debris flew everywhere.

The pressure around the area was dropped and Thelindra stood up from behind Samanoske and walked out. Through the smoke only one figure was visible and it slowly walked forward revealing Julius with a hollow mask covering his left forehead and was growing down to his eye.

-Hollow Julius: HAHAHAHA so you four think you can stand in my way! This is going to be most entertaining. Julius held me back from killing anyone else that I was beginning to think I wouldn’t get to stop and have some fun!

-Toshiro: So Julius is working with you?

-Hollow Julius: HA of course not! If you could only hear him screaming now for me to stop this, he is so pathetic. Now boys lets TANGO!

Hollow Julius lunged forward drawing his sword and flinging it in front of him. Toshiro shot a column of ice forward in the shape of a dragon which hit him head on. He kept the line of ice going and pushed him backward and down into the ground.

Samanoske threw flung his spear above his head in continuous circles gathering electricity and then he flung it in a stream toward where Toshiro had frozen him. The ice shattered and broke in a massive explosion as Krice jumped into the air above the hole where he was.

He threw his blades above his head and started to head downward swing them forward toward where Julius was. Then all of a sudden he felt a force push him back and he stopped from his fall. The smoke cleared to show Julius holding his blade above his head, he had caught Krice.

Julius’s white shinigami robes were torn and tattered and he had pieces of ice on his face legs and arms. He was bleeding in a few spot but still smiling. His Hollow mask was completely intact.

-Hollow Julius: THIS IS ALL YOU HAVE HAHAHAHA! If that is it then you will all die!

He threw his blade forward pushing Krice off and then he flash stepped past him. As he passed him blood shot up from his chest and two huge cuts appeared. Krice fell to the ground and passed out, his blades returned to their sealed state.

Julius landed and looked forward preparing to launch himself at the reaming three when suddenly he began to scream.

-Hollow Julis: NO! AHHHHHHHHHHH! GO AWAY!!!!!!!!!! STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT! YOU ARE GOING TO RUIN MY FUN YOU SON OF A!

Then Julius pried the clinging mask form his face and it fell to the ground in pieces. He sat there on his kness breathing heavily and looking toward the ground.

-Samanoske: He fought it off and suppressed it.

-Thelindra: JULIUS!

Thelindra ran toward him with tears in here eyes but was suddenly halted.

-Julius: No! Stay back….I don’t know how long….shit…it…is …..GAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Mask reappeared over his eye and left forehead, but this time had some sort of unfinished blue design on it. Julius regained the black and yellow eyes and an evil grin stretched across his face.

-Hollow Julius: You know it is rally a shame you know. HAHAHA A man cant hit a girl, BUT HE CAN MOST CERTAINLY CHOKE A *****!

Hollow Julius jumped toward Thelindra but was blocked from her by Toshiro who flung his blade forward which cut into his shoulder. Julius flung upward over all three of them and landed right in front of the wall.

-Hollow Julius: You three are really a pain in my ass you know that. Julius is really getting worked up in there, and the more I fight you the more control he regains. I do not want that, so it look like we have to end these games for now! HAHAHAHA Latter!

A negation portal opened up behind him and Julius stepped inside of it.

-Toshiro: Negation….Inside Seretei!

-Samanoske: Yea he can use negation in Seretei, it isn’t like the first time it has happened. Remember Aizen.

-Toshiro: HE MAY BE GOING TO-

-Hollow Julius: Please I am going to earth, that is where I will stake my claim. HAHAHA See you latter trash.

Samanoske jumped toward him as the negation started to close.

-Samanoske: YOU WILL NOT GET AWAY!

Hollow Julius just looked toward him with a smile and pointed his finger toward him.

-Hollow Julius: HAHAHAHA Cero!

A cero formed on the end of his fingers and shot toward Samanoske who was completely surprised by the attack. It headed strait toward his face.

-Samanoske: SHIT!

Then as it was about to hit Thelindra jumped in the way and blocked it with her Shield. It hit the field surrounding Balancer and its tremored and shook wildly as the attack continued. The energy became to much for the Zanpaku-to to handle and shot it in different direction away from the shield and right into Thelindra who flew backward. She was burned in several places and her robes were now tattered.
The negation closed with the last thing being shown as Julius’s wide smile.

Samanoske ran over to Thelindra who was on the ground holding onto a really burnt part of her left arm. Toshiro was over at Krice picking him up and already into a flash step carrying him away.

-Samanoske: Why did you do that! Are you an idiot, I could have survived that!

-Thelindra: But then you would of…had to use your mask….and then Seretei would….expel you….. I had to protect you…

-Samanoske: You damned fool….

Thelindra smiled and moved her hand through Samanoske’s hair. Samanoske picked her up and then vanished into a flash step.


Seidou sat across from the old man in a small dim lit room. The man drank from a scotch glass as Seidou sat patiently reviewing some files he had placed on the table. Seidou was wearing an unbuttoned dress shirt with rolled up sleeves and an unbuttoned color and some black dress pants. He skimmed over the files and then put them down.

-Seidou: So how many of us are left?

-Kobushi: You, Me, Lady Tachibana, Saikon Shima, and Maguichi Saiga. Other than that they are all dead.

-Seidou: What happened to Nagamasa or Inache? I didn’t think Vace killed them.

-Kobushi: he didn’t, but the Council sure as hell did.

-Seidou: How are they doing?

-Kobushi: You kidding me, terrible. They disbanded. All that survived are now either freelance or working for Aizen. All the experiments were totally abandoned and destroyed. That attack on Seretei ruined them, stretched there luck to much.

-Seidou: Yea I killed some of those Quiren things.

-Kobushi: Yea they are still around, a huge gang of em too in this city. Led by an old fella who wasn’t in the attack at all, names Iyeasu. He is a strong son of a ***** so be careful, do not take him lightly.

-Seidou: You know me I won’t.

-Kobushi: So you planning on summoning the remaning living Lords or are you hear for my charming personality.

The two sat looking at each other and then erupted into laughter.

-Kobushi: Alright alright I will get hold of them. But are you sure you can convince them to join?

-Seidou: Please once they hear about Julius they will come.

-Kobushi: okay let me get started then.

Kobushi got up to leave when Seidou grabbed him by the arm and stopped him.

-Seidou: I need you to get one more.

-Kobushi: oh? And who might this be?

-Seidou: I need you to bring me Aiden.


The captains stood in a line in front of Yammato as he paced back and forth. He halted abruptly and turned to face them all with a stern unyielding look.

-Yammato: Due to current situations pertaining to Vace, Aizen, the Quiren, the Council of the Nine, and the Hollow Julius I have decided to initiate special wartime order 626!

-Krice: But Yammato that means….

-Yammato: The fourteenth through twentieth division must prepare immediately for immediate departure and stationing on earth!

[Asuka]

Yea I say both because I am working on my Masters on Old World and ANcient history and I must say for any history major the Samurai and Dynasty warriors games are sweet, although it is neardy of us to correct the history all the times when we play. We have a history party every week and a tournament with those two games. I am currently in first in Samurai Warriors and second in Dynasty warriors.

Chapter 15- You make me want to break out!
Seidou stood in front of the grand gates leading into the human world.
Thelindra, Samanoske, Krice, Kia, and Toshiro stood in behind him watching as the wind blew by and the sun just barley broke through the clouds.
The gate was being tended to by several Shinigami while Seidou stood quietly looking forward with his Zanpaku-to in hand.
Samanoske and Thelindra walked forward to meet him and exchange some final words before his departure to the human world.
As they approached Seidou reared his head to the side and the turned it back toward the gate.
-Samanoske: Well I guess this is the end of the line for you hear old buddy.
-Seidou: Old buddy, what do you mean by that, oh I get it.
-Samanoske: What are you talking about? I didn’t mea-
-Seidou: You are right to say that, it does imply that we are in fact old buddies and nothing more.
-Thelindra: Taicho why would you say so-
-Seidou: Because it is true.
-Samanoske: I did not sell you out. You were the one who helped and followed that corrupt figure of Vace. You believed in his causes over any other and it led to everything that happened here.
-Seiodu: You did too, before you lost your resolve.
-Samanoske: What the hell did you say!
-Seiodu: You heard me, before you lost the will to fight for what was right and you settled.
-Thelindra: Taicho that is-
-Samanoske: Don’t call him Taicho anymore Thelindra. Even though he is only momentarily suspended, I doubt Yammato will bring a man like him back from his punishment. You should be ashamed of yourself. I did not disband, Julius is separated and safe now that’s all we wanted. Since we obtained that goal I am content on not speaking or acting on anymore of the old ways. The League of Shadows has long since been done. That was before this incident, and before Vace went hollow and killed almost all of us. It was before even Julius came to earth to try and warn us. Why don’t you get that into your head that we accomplished our goal and now Julius is fine.
-Seidou: Is he now? And to think I didn’t know you could be so naive.
-Samanoske: What are you getting at!? You mean that inner hollow, they will find a way t-
-Seidou: No they wont Samanoske, you know what it is like to carry that burden.
-Samanoske: Seidou you have overstepped your boundaries and were never suppose to s-
-Seidou: Oh who cares anymore. Because of us Julius will die a lab experiment. Yammato knows that it cant be subdued while he is unconscious so he knows the only option is to kill him, so why don’t you open your eye’s.
-Samanoske: I am sorry Seidou, but even if that is so one life is better than that of millions over one man. I believe in the will of Yammato, and I will do what is necessary to save lives and to protect Seretei.
Angered Samanoske turned and stormed back to where Krice, Kia and Toshiro. Thelindra stood behind Seidou looking at him with the sun shinning into her eyes through break in the clouds.
-Thelindra: Taicho I-
-Seidou: Theindra I need you to do something for me.
-Thelindra: Sure…..What do you need of me?.....
-Seidou: Get stronger, guide not only you but all of the squad. Do not for one minute let your resolve waver. If you do it will be cut, if you don’t you will overcome all doubt. Shed all fear, leave doubt for the dying. This war is only going to get worse with Vace back at Aizens side. I need you to look after the Division for me.
-Thelindra: Taicho you will be back….wont you?....
-Seidou: Theindra I am not a captain, I never should have been. In my heart and soul I have always been a Lord of Shadow. That is all I will ever be, no matter who is in it or who is not. I do not care about these things. Samanoske will need your help soon. He acts like it is nothing to him now, but soon things will get hard for him. Vace was like a brother to us both, and fighting him will be hard. I ask of you to watch him, make sure he doesn’t do anything rash. Thelindra I can trust you and only you with this task.
-Thelindra: Me….taicho….
-Seidou: Don’t start to tear up now, you need to stay strong. No matter what happens to me or Julius you need to stay on the path you are now. Do not waver for one bit. With Julius imprisoned you’re the only one I can trust now. Oh and one more thing.
-Theindra: Yes Taicho?
Seidou took off the captains jacket and wrapped it around Thelindra. He then reached into a brown leather bag which was slung over his shoulder and pulled out a necklace. The Necklace was a diamond flower which shimmered in the sunlight. It hung from a silver metal line which had two small clips on either end.
-Thelindra: What is it?
-Seidou: You once told me that your Zanpaku-to took the from of your mother, who you have never before met. Well this was an item that belonged to her, she coveted it very much.
-Thelindra: You knew my mother! How did you know her!
-Seidou: She was a Shinigami much like you are now. I knew her very well. She gave that to me, and I knew that one day I would meet you and pass it on. She would have wanted you to have it.
Thelindra started tearing up when the gate behind Seidou blew out spirit particles and shaped into the stream which would take him to the Human world.
-Seidou: Don’t cry kido, you know I can never stand teary goodbye’s.
Seidou turned and headed for the gate. Kia looked out toward her fleeing captain.
-Kia: See you again Taicho! Goodbye for now!
Seidou turned his head while walking and waved.
-Seidou: Never say goodbye, because there is never a need to, always say I’ll see you around.
He walked up to the gate and turned before entering it. He looked straight at Thelindra who was clutching the necklace and the Captains jacket.
-Seidou: See you around Kido.
He then turned and slipped into the stream of particles. After he entered the stream closed and he was gone.
Thelindra returned to the side of Samanoske and the others as they talked.
-Krice: Well as for now I guess with Seidou gone I have my work cut out for me.
-Samanoske: Oh?
-Krice: Yammato has asked me to overlook both divisions on my own. It is gong to be tough work.
-Toshiro: Has he named you the new captain of the fifteenth division yet?
-Krice: No, I guess he is holding it back.
-Kia: You’re going to be the new captain of the fifteenth division?
-Samanoske: Well he was Yammato’s arbiter, so it makes sense to me. He was already pretty much running the division.
-Krice: Please no I wasn’t, I hardly did anything.
-Toshiro: Really?
-Krice: Yea Vace…or Julius did all the work. He handled and took care of everything. I was amazed how great a captain he would have been.
-Telindra: You’re speaking as if he is already dead!
The others turned toward Thelindra who was now angered and red in the face.
-Kia: Theli….
-Thelindra: Just because he has a hollow inside of him doesn’t make him evil. He has done so much for everyone even his best friend and everyone looks down upon him. He risked everything, even his life to save a friend yet we all brand him as a traitor or enemy.
-Krice: Thelindra it is nothing like that, you see we just-
-Thelindra: You just what! You are afraid of him? Is that all. Oh I am sorry is that why you locked him up and are getting ready to kill him?! It makes me sick!
Thelindra turned and stormed off in the other direction with the others left staring in shock at her sudden outburst.
-Samanoske: Thelindra that isn-
-Krice: Actually it is Samanoske…….
-Kia: What! They are going to just kill Julius?
-Toshiro: How are you so certain.
-Krice: Yammato asked me to see to it personally. You see at the rate his hollow is taking over he too will soon be a Vasto Lorde, and much out of our control. So To insure Aizen doesn’t get another ally, we are to kill him in 48 hours if we are unable to suppress his hollow, or he is able to overcome it.
-Samanosek: I see…..So it is going to be death for him after all….I guess he did succeed in saving his friend…
-Krice: Yea it is a shame, at least nothing serious has happened as of late with his inner hollow.
Just then a massive explosion rung out to the north of where they stood. They looked to see a pillar of exploding blue Reitsu rose into the sky accompanied with a mushroom cloud of smoke. They watched in awe as it continued to rise into the sky.
-Kia: What is going on!?
-Toshiro: Samanoske!....
-Samanoske: I know…That reitsu is Julius’s.
-Krice: imposible that chamber should have held him in!
-Samanoske: impossible? Obviously not look at that pillar, we need to go to that location now! We can not let his hollow take him over!
Vace sat in a dim lit room in Hueco Mundo reading over various text that displayed on the screen. Diagrams and charts flashed in front of him as he worked away. Behind him in the doorway Noitora stepped in and looked toward Vace with a gleem in his eye.
-Noitora: So Aizens new pet all alone studying. Why don’t you face it you will never be one of us.
-Vace: Oh is that so? Why do you care all of a sudden, worried I will take your place.
-Noitora: Ha! A pathetic insolent fool like yourself replace me. That is impossible!
Vace stoped typing and stood up slowly where he was.
-Vace: Oh?
-Noitora: I am the strongest Espada THERE IS! I AM THE-
Vace turned and lunged forward hitting Noitora right in the chest and sending him flying backwards into the wall behind him. Noitora looked down to his chest which had a fist mark and blood covering it. He took a deep breath of air as Vace one again lunged at him but noitora drew from behind him his large blade and swung it forward. Vace caught the blade with his hand and threw it to the side giving Noitora a surprised glance and catching him compleetly off guard. He then flung his other hand tightly around his throat sending him to the ground.
-Vace: Who said I would want to take the place of an incelent fool like you. Do you not know who I am. Your number means nothing to me!
Vace let go of Noitora who hit the floor and whitped some blood from his lip. He grabbed and rolled up his sleve revealing a tatoo of a Zero above his wrist on his forarm.
Noitora looked toward the mark and his eye opened up wide.
-Vace: I am Aizens Arbiter and Zero Espada! It is imposible for you to have a lower number than mine!
Seidou walked down a long allyway in the smaller part of the city. The walls around him were cluttered with many colors of graffitti and had old rusted metal sidings and paint that was peeling from the wall. The sun was seeting in the real world and a red haze covered the sky.
Seidou walked down the ally till he emerged outside of it on a street. The street was next to a river and to his right high above him lay a bridge. Beside this bridge was a shop with an old man outside of it. He stayed seated and drank from what looked to be a flask. He placed it back inside of his robe and turned his head to catch Seidou. He almost fell from his chair and stumbled up out of it.
The man had an eypatch over his left eye and was wearing green robes simiilar to that of shinigami robes. The bottoms however were white rather than black. He had white hair that was slicked back.
-Old Man: Seidou is that you???
-Seidou: Old Man Kobushi, we are both dead.
-Old Man: Hahahahaha, it is you, how long has it been?
-Seidou: To long!
Seidou and the man exchanged hands and then they walked over and Seidou took a seat across from him.
-Kobushi: So what do you hear, what do you say?
-Seidou: Hey that is my line.
-Kobushi: Well you were not using it so I thought I would. So what can an old friend like me do for an old friend like you?
Seidou sat up and looked straight at him. He went from a smile to a serious look.
-Seidou: I want to use a room, and I want to reform the League.
-Kobushi: The League?.....You want to reform the league…..but Se-
-Seidou: No buts Kobushi. I need you to do this one thing for me.
Kobushi reached into his uniform and pulle dout his flask opening it slowly and taking a swig.
-Kobushi: I think we need to go inside and have a drink.
Samanoske, Krice, Toshiro, and Kia arrived at the scene. The ground was covered in rubble and fire which was still burning from the explosion. Bodies of sicentists were everywhere and medical units from the fourth division were scowering the remains the reasearch complex. Thelindra was already at the scene and had joined Rhen in conversation. Huiyen, Akako, Kibashi were in another circle talking amongst themselves.
As the they stood there looking over the remains Unohana walked over to meet the captains.
-Krice: What happened here?
-Samanoske: Isn’t it obvious, it was Julius.
-Unohana: We only got here a minute ago as well. Still as far as we can tell, we have no idea how he escaped.
-Toshiro: Any scientists survive?
-Unohana: Yea, all of them.
-Samanoske: All of them?
-Unahana: Yea we interviewed a few that were still concious, they said that Julius wouldn’t kill them. Many of them are badly burnt and need medical treatment.
-Krice: Are there any that can give us a lead on where he is headed?
-Unohana: Yea over here.
Unohana led them to the man from the day before who had spoken on behalf of the science division. His arm was badly scared and burnt and he was having it treated by two female shinigami.
-Krice: Where did he go?
-Jen: He..moved west….fast…you will not catch him…he is heading toward the outer wall…
-Toshiro: We have to try, Unohana you have things takken care of here right?
-Unohana: Yes I should be quite fine.
-Toshiro: Good then lets get going.
-Ren: Wait…..
They turned to look at Ren who was pulling out a small bag. He handed it to Samanoske who oppened it and pulled out a long thin tube. The bag was full of them. They were red and had a small black button on them.
-Ren: It is called…a Reitsu warp….you hold onto it and press the button and you are shot forward and compressed into sprirt matter….you can go through solid walls and everything at lightning speeds…..however you can ont intereact or have something from the physical plan interact with you….once you want to get out let go of the button…..use them…they are the only way to catch him….you can all hold onto one person and use one at a time if need be…..
Samanoske nodded and placed the rest into his pcket. He walked over toward a clearing where there was no rubble and the other two captains followed him. Thelindra walked from where she was and met with them.
-Thelindra: Where are you going?
-Samanoske: To get Julius.
-Thelindra: I am coming too.
-Toshiro: It is way t-
-Thelindra: As acting captain of the ninteenth squad I damand to go,a nd I have just as much say in the matter as you do!
-Toshiro: But you wi-
-Samanoske: Let her come.
-Toshiro: but S-
-Samanoske: I said let her come!
Toshiro noded and Samanoske pointed the tube toward the west. The other three grabbed onto hisarms and held on as he pushed the button on the tube. The four were instantly thrown into a red stream of light that shot forward. It zoomed through walls and people as it shot forwward toward the western gate. The four felt as if they were floatinga nd to themselves appeared to just be phasing through matter as if they were invisible. They looked around to either side as Seretei zoomed past them.
-Krice: So much destruction, who knew that the Quiren could do this much.
-Samanoske: I doubt this was the Quiren. Hold on can you feel that!
The four suddenly moved past a blurred object heading to fast to make out. The blur was moving at a speed which was almost unheard of.
They shot forward past him and moved through more walls.
-Thelindra: Was that-
-Toshiro: Julius…..
They suddenly brok through a huge wall to a clearing before the outer wall and Samanoske let go of the black button which made them all phase back into normal reality. They landed on the ground and recov ered shaking off the after effects of the travel.
The then turned to face the rest of Seretei with their backs to the wall.
-Samanoske: All right get ready everyone can you feel that!
They all removed their Zanpaku-to’s from their sheathes and prepared for the massiv reitus headed toward them.
-Krice: BANKAI!
-Toshiro: BANKAI!
-Samanoske: Tear Across the Grey Skies Raitei!
-Thelindra: Balance!
Their Zanpaku-to’s all transformed and they collected reitsu preparing for the attack. Krice held to huge fangs that turned out to be his blades. Purple haze fell form them as he held them. The guards were bunches of fur and the handles were laced in purple. Toshiro was covered with ice wings and had an ice dragon going down his arm, as was typical for his Bankai mode. Samanoske held his spear with the chain dangling form the back ready to attack and Thelindra held her small shield in anticipation.
The four stood waiting and ready as the reitsu approaching them grew nearer and got heavier.
-Samanoske: This is it!
The whole area was covered in a sort of haze and the whole area started to shake.
-Krice; Holy Shit do you feel that!
Thelindra started to fall forward gasping for breath as she found it hard to breath.
-Samanoske: Thelindra get behind me now.
Thelindra crawled behind Samanoske and was able to breath again. Yet she couldn’t escapes the pressure that was swirling around him from Julius’s spirit force for he was only blocking it form hitting her directly.
-Krice: That’s how he got so far without killing anyone, he used this spirit force to make them pass out.
-Samanoske: I just hope he isn’t wanting to shed some blood, because this could get interesting.
They all faced forward as the building in front of them was blown into pieces. Smoke billowed out from where it had been and debris flew everywhere.
The pressure around the area was dropped and Thelindra stood up from behind Samanoske and walked out. Through the smoke only one figure was visible and it slowly walked forward revealing Julius with a hollow mask covering his left forehead and was growing down to his eye.
-Hollow Julius: HAHAHAHA so you four think you can stand in my way! This is going to be most entertaining. Julius held me back from killing anyone else that I was beginning to think I wouldn’t get to stop and have some fun!
-Toshiro: So Julius is working with you?
-Hollow Julius: HA of course not! If you could only hear him screaming now for me to stop this, he is so pathetic. Now boys lets TANGO!
Hollow Julius lunged forward drawing his sword and flinging it in front of him. Toshiro shot a column of ice forward in the shape of a dragon which hit him head on. He kept the line of ice going and pushed him backward and down into the ground.
Samanoske threw flung his spear above his head in continuous circles gathering electricity and then he flung it in a stream toward where Toshiro had frozen him. The ice shattered and broke in a massive explosion as Krice jumped into the air above the hole where he was.
He threw his blades above his head and started to head downward swing them forward toward where Julius was. Then all of a sudden he felt a force push him back and he stopped from his fall. The smoke cleared to show Julius holding his blade above his head, he had caught Krice.
Julius’s white shinigami robes were torn and tattered and he had pieces of ice on his face legs and arms. He was bleeding in a few spot but still smiling. His Hollow mask was completely intact.
-Hollow Julius: THIS IS ALL YOU HAVE HAHAHAHA! If that is it then you will all die!
He threw his blade forward pushing Krice off and then he flash stepped past him. As he passed him blood shot up from his chest and two huge cuts appeared. Krice fell to the ground and passed out, his blades returned to their sealed state.
Julius landed and looked forward preparing to launch himself at the reaming three when suddenly he began to scream.
-Hollow Julis: NO! AHHHHHHHHHHH! GO AWAY!!!!!!!!!! STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT! YOU ARE GOING TO RUIN MY FUN YOU SON OF A!
Then Julius pried the clinging mask form his face and it fell to the ground in pieces. He sat there on his kness breathing heavily and looking toward the ground.
-Samanoske: He fought it off and suppressed it.
-Thelindra: JULIUS!
Thelindra ran toward him with tears in here eyes but was suddenly halted.
-Julius: No! Stay back….I don’t know how long….shit…it…is …..GAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Mask reappeared over his eye and left forehead, but this time had some sort of unfinished blue design on it. Julius regained the black and yellow eyes and an evil grin stretched across his face.
-Hollow Julius: You know it is rally a shame you know. HAHAHA A man cant hit a girl, BUT HE CAN MOST CERTAINLY CHOKE A *****!
Hollow Julius jumped toward Thelindra but was blocked from her by Toshiro who flung his blade forward which cut into his shoulder. Julius flung upward over all three of them and landed right in front of the wall.
-Hollow Julius: You three are really a pain in my ass you know that. Julius is really getting worked up in there, and the more I fight you the more control he regains. I do not want that, so it look like we have to end these games for now! HAHAHAHA Latter!
A negation portal opened up behind him and Julius stepped inside of it.
-Toshiro: Negation….Inside Seretei!
-Samanoske: Yea he can use negation in Seretei, it isn’t like the first time it has happened. Remember Aizen.
-Toshiro: HE MAY BE GOING TO-
-Hollow Julius: Please I am going to earth, that is where I will stake my claim. HAHAHA See you latter trash.
Samanoske jumped toward him as the negation started to close.
-Samanoske: YOU WILL NOT GET AWAY!
Hollow Julius just looked toward him with a smile and pointed his finger toward him.
-Hollow Julius: HAHAHAHA Cero!
A cero formed on the end of his fingers and shot toward Samanoske who was completely surprised by the attack. It headed strait toward his face.
-Samanoske: SHIT!
Then as it was about to hit Thelindra jumped in the way and blocked it with her Shield. It hit the field surrounding Balancer and its tremored and shook wildly as the attack continued. The energy became to much for the Zanpaku-to to handle and shot it in different direction away from the shield and right into Thelindra who flew backward. She was burned in several places and her robes were now tattered.
The negation closed with the last thing being shown as Julius’s wide smile.
Samanoske ran over to Thelindra who was on the ground holding onto a really burnt part of her left arm. Toshiro was over at Krice picking him up and already into a flash step carrying him away.
-Samanoske: Why did you do that! Are you an idiot, I could have survived that!
-Thelindra: But then you would of…had to use your mask….and then Seretei would….expel you….. I had to protect you…
-Samanoske: You damned fool….
Thelindra smiled and moved her hand through Samanoske’s hair. Samanoske picked her up and then vanished into a flash step.
Seidou sat across from the old man in a small dim lit room. The man drank from a scotch glass as Seidou sat patiently reviewing some files he had placed on the table. Seidou was wearing an unbuttoned dress shirt with rolled up sleeves and an unbuttoned color and some black dress pants. He skimmed over the files and then put them down.
-Seidou: So how many of us are left?
-Kobushi: You, Me, Lady Tachibana, Saikon Shima, and Maguichi Saiga. Other than that they are all dead.
-Seidou: What happened to Nagamasa or Inache? I didn’t think Vace killed them.
-Kobushi: he didn’t, but the Council sure as hell did.
-Seidou: How are they doing?
-Kobushi: You kidding me, terrible. They disbanded. All that survived are now either freelance or working for Aizen. All the experiments were totally abandoned and destroyed. That attack on Seretei ruined them, stretched there luck to much.
-Seidou: Yea I killed some of those Quiren things.
-Kobushi: Yea they are still around, a huge gang of em too in this city. Led by an old fella who wasn’t in the attack at all, names Iyeasu. He is a strong son of a ***** so be careful, do not take him lightly.
-Seidou: You know me I won’t.
-Kobushi: So you planning on summoning the remaning living Lords or are you hear for my charming personality.
The two sat looking at each other and then erupted into laughter.
-Kobushi: Alright alright I will get hold of them. But are you sure you can convince them to join?
-Seidou: Please once they hear about Julius they will come.
-Kobushi: okay let me get started then.
Kobushi got up to leave when Seidou grabbed him by the arm and stopped him.
-Seidou: I need you to get one more.
-Kobushi: oh? And who might this be?
-Seidou: I need you to bring me Aiden.
The captains stood in a line in front of Yammato as he paced back and forth. He halted abruptly and turned to face them all with a stern unyielding look.
-Yammato: Due to current situations pertaining to Vace, Aizen, the Quiren, the Council of the Nine, and the Hollow Julius I have decided to initiate special wartime order 626!
-Krice: But Yammato that means….
-Yammato: The fourteenth through twentieth division must prepare immediately for immediate departure and stationing on earth!


is it me or did i just appear!!???!!!

*eyes light up*

*_* NARO!!! YES! but it seems that i just disappear...

[Trouse]

Vace, do you still need a character for the fic? I.e. bad guys (renegade Shinigami/Vizards?) or good guys? I'm planning on making a new one.

[Silhouette]

Psh. If we could make more than 1 character, then I'd have 2 more for him already.. *coughs*

[Undying]

Too true, people can make two-three characters easy. But having one person have 43278473289 characters? Nothx... I don't think Vace likes that.

[Trouse]

Just offering. I'm gonna make a new one anyway, because I feel like it. I already designed his head. He's a shinigami, maybe a vizard. (I just love the masks).. I'll scan it tomorrow.

EDIT: Posted it in the Bleach Fan Creations-section. I'll post it here too if you want. Just give me a shout.

[Vace]

Chapter 16- My Bags are packed and I am ready to go.

Seidou sat across from Kobushi rather still sipping on tea. He was wearing what appeared to be inverted color Shinigami robes under a black jacket. His pants were still jet black and he wore the same Shinigami sandals that everyone else did. The inside of the coat was white lined and his Zanpaku-to hung from the side of his sash inside the coat.

He placed the cup down on the table and stood up turning to the sliding doors.

-Seidou: Well it is time to address them.

Kobushi nodded and walked over to the screen door sliding it open and the two entered into the open room. Inside five others sat waiting. Three of them were males and the remaining two were female.

The farthest individual was a tall man with large coat that was green and covered in gold lining. His pants and undergarments were white Shinigami robes and he sat against a wall shouldering a Kido riffle which was common to guards in Seretei. His black hair was slicked back and his hazel eyes gleamed in the light. He was known as the “Ranger to the North,” Saiga Maguichi.

The next individual over was a 5’9 female with short brown hair. She wore her regular black Shinigami robes, which were smaller and formed to her body. Over that she wore a purple sort of jacket which looked much like a traditional captains jacket. He Zanpaku-to slung over her back and had a purple hilt with a silver guard. She was seated and filing her nails. Those who new her called her the “Rolling Thunder,” Lady Techibana.

Seated next to her was a muscular man with short brown hair. He wore only white pants, boots and a brown sleeveless jacket. His Zanpaku-to was leaning against the couch behind him and was covered with a brown handle and a bronze guard. He was seated reading a magazine. He was called the “Rolling Stone,” Shima Saigon.

Beside him sitting with her feet propped up onto a table across from her was a woman with long flowing black hair and blue eyes. She wore a tight ninja outfit which was white. On her arms she wore black ninja sleeves covered in bandages which many ninja were known to do. Her Zanpaku-to was also thrown over her shoulder and had a blue hilt and silver guard. She was seated and reading a magazine like the man beside her. She was a beautiful maiden known as “The lady of the lake,” Kenochi Cia.

The final individual in the room was Aiden. He was wearing a blue long sleeve turtle neck sweater. He also had black pants and brown sandals. He had his Zanpaku-to unsheathed and was rubbing a sharpening stone over the edge of the blade. His blond hair was a bit messy and unary and his blue eyes caught the shine off his Zanpaku-to.

As Seidou and Kobushi entered the three seemed to take note of them and continue whatever it was they were doing.
-Kobushi: It looks like you all at least showed up.

-Maguichi: Your lucky you old codger, I had a lot of thing that I had to tend to.

-Techibana: Yea right, you’re a bloody fisherman Maguichi. You sit out on the water all day and wait for a bite and sleep. Your basically no different from your cousin, it is sickening.

-Maguichi: Oh yea it is better than your human identity. What you think your going to get much further managing a porn shop!

-Techibana: IT ISNT A PORN SHOP IT’S A MAGAZINE STORE!

-Maguichi: Same thing, just a wider spread.

-Saigon: Huh this movie star named Tom Cruise says he is really going to eat a placenta, that is quite interesting.

-Cia: Yea that is nothing some female named Brittany Spears just shaved her head to avoid drug tests.

-Saigon: Meh you don’t say?

-Techibana: WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TWO BLABBERIN ON ABOUT! IT IS ALMOST AS IF YOU’RE AN OLD MARRIED COUPLE!

-Saigon: Hey now my human identity is a simple tour guide.

-Cia: I am engaged you do know this.

-Techibana: It doesn’t count if you have been engaged for almost a hundred hears.

-Cia: Who says so?

-Techibana: I say so considering that man has flown the coupe!

Cia got up from where she was seated and drew her blade pointing it toward Techibana.

-Cia: YOU TAKE THAT BACK!

-Techibana: Oh come on now you know it to be true, that is why we are here. Isn’t that right Seidou?

-Aiden: Don’t you dare address Seidou or talk about Julius like that!

Aiden stood up and placed the rock he has been using into his pocket. He then sheathed his Zanpaku-to back into the sheath and then placed it at his side.

-Techibana: Why not he has been compromised by fusing with that Bastard!

-Saigon: How do you know that for a fact?

-Techibana: You saw what Vace did to the others…You were there when he turned…you were there when he killed them in cold blood….he hadn’t lost control….he let his hollow take him over….HE BETRAYED US!

-Seidou: That being the case that doesn’t mean anything about Julius.

-Techibana: He tried to save that Backstabing bastard, how do we know he isn’t siding with him!?

-Aiden: If he had sided with him, he would have never used the fusion gem to try and help him. We all know what Vace did my lady, but you also need to remember what Julius has done for us over the years. We all owe him our lives, for if it wasn’t for him, Vace would have come after us next.

-Techibana: And then I would have-

-Seidou: Died seeking revenge…We all know he killed your husband Techibana, but we can not hold that against Julius.

-Techibana: I know…but I just don’t see the point…

-Cia: I do…

Cia looked toward the ground and started to tear up. Saigon pulled a handkerchief from his coat and handed it to her allowing her to clear her eyes. She did so and sat down trying to calm her nerves.

-Techibana: I’m sorry I didn’t mean to-

-Cia: I know… I know…

-Seidou: I’m sorry Cia it must be hard for you and all. Julius is loved by all of us, but more so by you. I promise that I will do the best to my ability to at least bring back your fiancé in one piece.

-Cia: Thank you…

-Maguichi: And if you don’t mind me asking chief, how do you suppose we do this.

-Saigon: He is right, we have all felt his reitsu, it is massive since hollowization.

-Seidou: He can fight against it, I know he can. I have no idea how he will, and you know we can easily take him on with our own abilities.

-Maguichi: True but what bothers me is the fact that he is loosing.

-Saigon: Another thing that troubles me is that Seretei is sending all of the new squads, and many of there seated officers to earth to try and handle the new conflict arising down here.

-Seidou: Are you serious!?

-Saigon: Sadly I am very serious, they are arriving within the day.

-Seidou: I see… then I have to get the point then. I want to reform the Lords of Shadow.

-Techibana: You have to be kidding me?

-Maguichi: It doesn’t appear to be so…but why?

-Seidou: Against Vace we are the best equipped. Let Seretei deal with Aizen, but Vace is our target, he betrayed us. Let us finish this once and for all.

-Techibana: As crazy and charming this plan is, I really doubt we can make much of a dent against Vace’s latest developments.

-Seidou: We can at least try.

-Techibana: It is, count me out.

-Maguichi: Me too, I am not going in like this.

-Aiden: I’ll join.

-Maguichi: What?

-Techibana: You can’t join you don’t fit the criteria to join.

-Saigon: I would hate to admit it but she is right. There are two things every individual needs to join the league of shadows. The first is having a Zanpaku-to with two Avitars, and the second is to become a Vizard.

-Techibana: It is true that you have the first step, but you have always refused to complete the second one, meaning you can never join our ranks.

Seidou looked over to Aiden who nodded and walked over to stand beside Seidou.

-Aiden: you mean this sir?

Pieces of mask formed on the side of his face, and completely formed into a brilliant red mask with a white break in the middle of it. The mask had some jutting edges above the eyes and the smile was small but menacing and stretched across the entire face like all hollow masks did.

-Aiden: You mean this?

All of them fell into silence looking up at Aiden’s mask.

-Maguichi: But you hated hollows….you swore you would never-

-Aiden: I did it to save Julius, just as he sacrificed everything to save Vace. I owe him as much, and so do all of you.

-Cia: I am in…I was always in from the start…

-Saigon: My blade will serve under the Lords banner once more as well.

-Maguichi: I guess I am in if he is in.

-Seidou: Lady Techibana?

-Techibana: What are you all gawking at me for, are we going to look for this shmuk or not?


Before the gates of Seretei masses of people stood with packed bags of luggage and personal effects in an array of human clothing preparing for departure to earth. Among them were some of the captains who all stood in a circle talking amongst themselves. Each one had on matching black suit, but wore a different color shirt and tie underneath. Each one carried on looking over some plans drawn out by Yammato.

-Hiroshi: Interesting layout, guarding these sections will be an interesting to say the
least.

-Kaliadez: A ten mile radius for each of us, kind of seems like a bit don’t you think?

-Calrissian: Not really, we will have our lieutenants and first two seated officers with us. I mean divvy up the distance between the four of you and it shouldn’t be much of a problem at all.

-Taiki: In retrospect, but in reality it will not be that way.
-Calrissian: Whatever do you mean?

-Taiki: Don’t be so foolish, you know as well as we do that Aizens Arrancar are more than a match for use let alone our Lieutenants. Throw whatever Vace is creating into the mix and god only knows what sort of monstrosities he has brought onto the world.

-Kaliadez: I only hope that they will not be as fierce as we think they will be.

-Krice: In any case we as captains have to pay special attention to the nineteenth squad. Without an acting captain, and Thelindra filling in I fear that she could have a lot to deal with. She isn’t ready for this task.

-Kaliadez: At any rate she will do fine on the leading, I am just not sure how she will do on the fighting part.

-Samanoske: Well she is adapt at Kido.

-Hiroshi: Kido may simply not be enough at this point. Sure maybe if she was a master of the forbidden arts like Calrissian, but she isn’t. How far will a fireball do against the Arrancar. It took a squad of Kido individuals to even scathe one of those bastards. He Zanpaku-to isn’t exactly an offensive type. Without a way to fight back physically she comes to a disadvantage. Besides her Balancer has been overpowered before.

-Calrissian: This is true.

-Samanoske: We can not simply judge her fighting capability to just one instance can we?

-Taiki: True, but Hiroshi is right. Thelindra may be getting into more than she can chew. We need to watch over her.

-Samanoske: I will tend to that.

-Taiki: Actually I would much prefer it if Kaliadez were to supervise her.

-Samanoske: Why?

-Taiki: We are well aware of your growing relationship with her, and while it isn’t taboo, we simply do not wish to make things complicated. It would be easier if the one who looks after her isn’t emotionally attached, besides she works well with Kaliadez.

-Samanoske: I suppose but I just-

-Hiroshi: You can still visit her while off duty, we just like prolonged contact could jeopardize either of you.

-Kaliadez: Don’t worry old friend, I will not let any harm come her way.
-Hiroshi: Be mindful here she comes now.

Thelindra walked up to the other captains. She was dressed in a skirt that reached down to her knees and a white dress vest over a red long sleeve shirt.

-Taiki: Well if it isn’t our youngest member to the captains circle.

-Thelindra: I suppose…I don’t know if I am prepared.

-Kaliadez: Nonsense, I am sure when the time comes you will do fine. Just remember sometimes difficult choices and sacrifices have to be made to save that which matters most.

-Thelindra: I will….

-Taiki: By the way Krice who is the new Lieutenant over there talking to Rhen?

-Krice: Oh his name is ACE, he use to be in the royal guard. He was one of my subordinates chasing Vace while he was still in Seretei. He is a loyal man, sharp as a tack. He is as strong as any Lieutenant here, and as sharp as a tack.

-Hiroshi: Doesn’t look to be the most talkative of lads.

-Krice: Yea but looks like Rhen and Misuzu have taken a liking to his company.

-Samanoske: How is Misuzu doing after the whole Vace and Julius ordeal?

-Krice: Well, I am afraid that she has been informed on all the detales. Thank god she hasn’t found it hard to move on. She even dated a seated officer in the sixth squad for a couple of days, they broke up recently for unknown reasons. In her mind she knows that the man she fell for was not a real person, but in her heart he will always be there. Vace had quite a grasp over her, tricked her easily. Sad that he did that to her, but good she is easily moving on.

-Samanoske: Well that’s good that she is, I am proud to hear that, especially since Julius has a fiancé.

-Hiroshi: Yea I wonder what happened to her.

-Samanoske: Who knows.

-Kaliadez: The thing I want to know is what happened to Julius’s twin brother.

-Hiroshi: He has a twin brother?


The large room was dimly lit in the front opening near the doorway, and the white walls eliminated as Aizen stepped forward in front of a bowing Vace. Behind Aizen stood two Arrancar. The one to his right was a tall man with a large Scimitar over his shoulder and an eye patch over his right eye. The second one was a tall man with the remains of his hollow mask forming a sort of goatee on his chin. He was bald and stood at about 8 feet tall.

Aizen motioned to Vace who stood up and looked toward his lord.

-Aizen: I came to check on the progress of your Shunto experiment. Things are going well I hope.

-Vace: I am sorry to tell you my lord that the Shunto are still being synthesized as we speak. We never could have calculated that the synthesis of them would take so long. Also the fact that we needed real souls to build them off of as templates could have slowed us down. I am happy to report that there power capacity is far greater than we ever could have suspected.

-Aizen: That is wonderful news, don’t worry about the time frame we are after all in no hurry. I just wonder Vace why you chose this location to meet for a progression report.

-Vace: I have something to show you.

The lights flickered on in the enormous room and revealed multiple lines of men and woman dressed in white and black garments. They stood at attention in front of Aizen and Vace and saluted as soon as the lights flickered on.

-Aizen: What shall I ask are these.

-Vace: With so many trial and errors I have found a way to fuse hollows and Zanpaku-to’s together to make this new breed of foot soldier. All of them have the strength of a Shinigami Lieutenant. These are your new soldiers, your infantry, I give you the Locas!

-Aizen: Very good Vace, I leave them to you to command as you see fit. I am planning on sending these two Numeros to earth to give a welcome to some of your friends from Seretei. I heard they have already arrived on earth.

-Vace: Really, and why tell me?

-Aizen: Just thought maybe you would want to send them a welcoming present.

-Vace: I think I can do that. I will send two of the finest Locas I have and another special guest.

-Aizen: Oh?

-Vace: Lets just say he has been wanting to stretch out his legs for a while. HAHAHAHAHAHA


Thelindra, Shawn, Ryurenso, Rhen, and Huiyen walked down an ally in the middle of the city. Shawn was wearing black pants and an un-tucked white dress shirt with a loose tie and rolled up sleeve. Ryurenso was wearing jeans, a brown shirt with cards and a green overcoat. Rhen was wearing a similar outfit to Telindra but a grey turtleneck under the dress sweater vest, and Huiyen was wearing Jeans and a spaghetti strap shirt.

-Rhen: I just love earth clothing don’t you?

-Huiyen: There ok I guess.

-Rhen: Ok, they totally beat our uniforms.

-Ryurenso: Yea but these blasted Gaigi I could live without. I mean every movement we make is so stiff.

-Shawn: Meh not that bad man, just need to rock it like I do and you will be fine.

-Ryurenso: Yea but this world is so dull, nothing to do. We just walk around all day and wait. I am sick of waiting, and this whole damn day is a waste of time.

-Rhen: What do you mean? This world is so exciting things are always happening.

The four of them stopped walking and turned as a rift opened up and four individual stepped out. The two Arrancar from before were in front with two other individuals behind them.

-1st Arrancar: Looks like we have made contact with a few of the Shinigami.

-2nd Arrancar: I agree. There Reitsu seems to be hidden inside of those shells.

-1st Arrancar: Well then let us just force them out into the open. We each take one, that goes for you two new guys as well.

Thelindra, Shawn, Ryurenso, Rhen, and Huiyen all took out small pez dispensers and shot mod souls into the mouths of their gaiagi and fell out of them into spirit form. The Mod souls then ran the opposite direction while the five of them stood ready to fight.

-Shawn: Me and Ryu have Lavern and Shirley hear, you guys take on these other ones.

-Thelindra: Right, lets go girls.

The three girls turned and started jumping off the walls of the alleys reaching the rough tops and started to run in the opposite direction.

-2nd Arrancar: You two newbies are up.

The two others gave chase passing by Shawn and Ryurenso as they went.

-Ryurenso: You two don’t give them much respect do you, almost as if they aren’t your kin.

-2nd Arrancar: They are not like the likes of us.

-Shawn: So which one of you uglies do I get to fight?

-1st Arrancar: I will fight you Shinigami. I am the twenty-third Arrancar Alejandro de Javer.

-Shawn: Really Alejandro, I am Akimoto Shawn vice captain of the eighteenth squad. Why don’t you say we move this somewhere private.

-Alejandro: As you wish shinigami.

The two of them left and Ryurenso unsheathed his Zanpaku-to and started walking toward the other Arrancar.

-2nd Arrancar: So it is just between the two of us now isn’t it?

-Ryurenso: I assume so, you better prepare yourself because I’m going to take your other eye.

-2nd Arrancar: Really, well we shall see. Lets go Shinigami I am ready to get things started!

-Ryurenso: I agree, I am Shirogunjin Ryurenso, third seat of the fourteenth squad.

-2nd Arrancar: I am Serxio Deunoro, the thirtieth Arrancar.


Taiki and Yuri walked atop a high roof overlooking the city as the day started to wind down. They were already out of their Gaigi and into a discussion about events happening.

-Yuri: Taicho I have to ask you something, did you know Julius?

-Taiki: Yes I knew him very well actually.

-Yuri: Really, what was he like?
-Taiki: Totally different then the impression you probably have of him. He was a Vice captain when I last saw him. Under a well like captain. He was known for being extremely kind and never let one person down. Always doing what he could to help others. He made some bad friends though, such as Vace. Vace had plans of his own and eventually went mad. Julius wanting to help his friend deserted Seretei, gave up his life, his fiancé, and even his family to go and try to save him.

-Yuri: I heard about his brother, what is he like?

-Taiki: Well….

Taiki stopped passing and looked out over the side of the building.

-Taiki: Do you feel that, Thelindra and the others are in trouble!

-???: Their not the only ones!

Taiki and Yuri turned to face an Arrancar stepping from a negation portal. The Arrancar was of medium height and wore baggy white pants and an open white coat with black lining on the inside. On his chest above a hollow hole was a tattoo of a 100. As he stepped from the portal Taiki realized who it was.

-Taiki: Sessou!

Sessou’s skin was a bit more pale and on his face under his brown hair was the remains of his hollow mask. It was a crescent shape that stretched from above his eye and curved down across his check and back next to his mouth revealing the remains of teeth.

-Sessou: I thought you wouldn’t remember me Taicho, I am very impressed. Now shall we get down to business, or are we going to stand there gawking all day?


Rhen, Thelindra, and Huiyen traveled over rooftops as the two pale skinned individuals followed behind them. As they gave chase a white figure jumped out in front of them and traveled in the opposite direction.

-Thelindra: Did you feel that things reitsu?

-Rhen: I sure did!

-Huiyen: Thelindra why don’t you go check that out, we will hold off these two.

-Thelindra: Okay, don’t die!

Thelindra broke off and followed after the white figure which had passed them by. The two girls stopped running and turned to face their pursuers. As they stopped the two following them stopped their chase and stood opposite them on the same rooftop.

The one on the right was a medium sized man with brown hair and blue eyes. While the other one was a bulky bald muscular man standing just a hair over the other. They both wore a buttoned up white coat and white pants.

-Rhen: Looks like we have some Arrancar of our own to deal with.

-Locas 1: How dare you compare us to those filth!

-Locas 2: We are t he Locas, the personal army of Vace!

-Huiyen: Just what exactly are you.

-Locas 1: We were hollows who were fused with Zanpaku-to’s. The outcome was us, a cross bread of Hollow and Shinigami that has never been seen until today.

-Locas 2: So which one of you ladies shall I be dancing with.

-Rhen: Lets dance big boy.

Rhen and the second Locas jumped and disappeared leaving Huiyen with the remaining one.

-Locas 1: Well are you ready to experience something you have never experienced before?

-Huiyen: You don’t seem so tough.

-Locas 1: If you only knew what you were up against! I am Raphael Fidalgo, a the third gamma Locas!


Theindra got closer to her target, but his movements were rash and erratic which made it hard to follow him.

-Thelindra: Screw this! Oh ruler, mask of flesh and blood, all creations of the universe, fluttering of the wings, ye who bears the name of man! Truth and temperance, strike but slightly your claw upon this wall which feigns ignorance of sin! Hadou #33 – Soukatsui!

A blue fire flew from Thelindra’s hands and hit the white blur of a man in the back stopping him on the top of a low rough.

Thelindra landed behind him and pointed her hands in his direction waiting for the smoke to clear.

-Thelindra: Whoever you are turn and face me! What are you planning on doing?

-Hollow Julius: What am I planning on doing? HAHAHAHAHA, babes if you only knew.

Julius turned to face Thelindra. The hollow mask covered almost all of his face. All of the left side from his forehead to his chin and all of his teeth stretched to the right side. It was covered in blue decals.

-Thelindra: Julius…..

-Hollow Julius: That isn’t my name! I don’t have one. Look toots I am not in the mood for chattin, so why don’t you say we get this on the way. Considering your Kido didn’t scathe me the least bit and the last time I attacked you I broke through your Zanpaku-to this should be quick. I must say if you weren’t such a goodie two shoes you might make a fine dish, but I guess I have no choice but to kill you quick.

-Thelindra: We will see about that.

Thelindra placed her hand into her Shinigami robes and pulled out a small blade with a wooden handle and held it in her shaking hand.

-Hollow Julius: What is that, some sort of special Shinigami item. Considering it isn’t a Zanpaku-to you have no chance of hurting me with that little thing.

-Thelindra: Oh really?

-Hollow Julius: Yea that shity buckler on your wrist is your Zanpaku-to.

-Thelindra: Only part of it.

Thelindra took the blade and placed it inside the flat part on the buckler. The blade slid into it easily and came to rest in the buckler.

-Thelindra: You see the buckler is only the sheath of the blade. My Zanpaku-to has two Avatar’s like yours. The first form is the buckler and the second is the blade.

Thelindra took the blade from the buckler and pointed it toward Julius.

-Thelindra: Even the field EQUILIZER!

The blade started to glow in a orange aura and the buckler on her arm vanished. The blade grew into a full length katana with a gold guard. The blade had a notch near the guard and was more thick than a typical katana. The handle was orange and the blade continued at the end of the handle for a short distance. She pointed the blade toward Julius and orange reitsu started to glow and shimmer of the blade.

-Hollow Julius: HAHAHAHA you think that blade will help you fight me! HAHAHAHA I am leaps ahead of you in power!

Hollow Julius pulled his blade from his sheath and dashed toward Thelindra at high speeds. Thelindra lifted her blade up and jumped forward throwing it down and striking Hollow Julius’s blade.

There was a small explosion and Hollow Julius was thrown back across the entire rough with his feet tearing it up as he traveled. He reached the end of the rough before barley stopping. His robes had a tear in the front and he was bleeding from his shoulder.

Thelindra walked forward with her blade at her side toward him as he stood there with a look of shock.

-Thelindra: You already hurt me before, but you should never wound what you can’t kill.

-Hollow Julius: HAHAHAHA! INCREDIBLE! I am going to have so much fun with this! LETS GO *****!


To Be Continued…..

Thelindra has revealed a new power, but will it be enough to fend off Hollow Julius? How will Taiki fair against Sessou? Will the others be able to kill off the Locas and Arrancar?

[Trouse]

I luv u, Vace! <3

All coming down to the real world, awesome! :D Btw, you must've been writing like mad, this chapter is so long! Kudos, Vace, the story took another nice turn!

Can't wait for the next chappie! ;)

[Undying]

O.o Nice addition to Theli's zanpakto...

Although personaly, I'd figure that against something like THAT, she'd pull out a bankai...

[Thelindra]

for my char to pull a bankai will be quite....too fast? shes only a sub-captain.

still, coolies!! more fights! so much to look forward to =D

[Hunni3]

YAY! hooray for new chappy! sooo for all those missing holes in the divisions does everyone just move up a rank? or are those holes being replaced?

[angelicdesire]

wow vry good chapter vace!!

wow love how sessou appeared to yuri and taiki....altho of course sessou is gonna lose :D

:p @ sean

[Silhouette]

LMAO! Funny, angelic...real funny. Seriously though, you don't stand a chance. Taiki...maybe, but you? Can you say "massacre"?

[Undying]

*ish eating chcolate*

Har har Sessy, har har. Even if Angelic fails, Taiki will save her and finish you off =P.

[Kazuma Shawn]

ooooo..interesting...keep it coming! time to feed some nasty little creature with some real beautiful scars!haha great chap vace.

[angelicdesire]

@ sean: uh she can whoop your ass damnit so stfu =p and yeah ur jus gonna get pwned. so.............*throws a boot at your head*

[Silhouette]

*moves*

lmao. Angelic, think for a second. Your Zanpakuto is fire based. Sessou's can absorb heat & light energy, aka fire. Also, Sessou - before he left - was between VC & Captain level. You were a fourth seat. Now he's even stronger than before, whereas you haven't grown stronger at all. You're basically nothing to him.

Taiki on the other hand...

[Hunni3]

waaaaaaaaa *ish getting bored waiting for next chappy*

*wishes for more Misuzu involvement ;_; *

[Asuka]

*is also bored waiting for the chapter* *dances in circles* I wish my character would make her first appearence.

[Silhouette]

lmao I'm sure you'll show up...eventually.

Anyway, Vace, don't forget about Night & Dev's characters. I'm sure they'll be useful around now..

[Vace]
