''Okay...''
You resume.
''Let's start at the basics.
What do you make of this situation?
Zanpakuto turning on their masters I mean.
Does anything like this ring a bell to you?''

''Unfortunately not.
It's bizarre when you think about it.''

''Why?''

Aaroniero draws Nejibana.
''Because in its essence the Zanpakuto IS the shinigami.
While the two can have a disagreement they depend on one another to live.
It boggles the mind.''

''Right.
So what are they?
How are they made?
Do they just pop out of the Reapers?''

''That's perhaps the strangest part.
They are given to them.''

''By whom?''

''All students within the Shino Academy are given a nameless Zanpakuto, an Asauchi when they first enter.
They are required to spend every waking moment with these things in order to imprint upon them.
After which the Zanpakuto becomes unique, an individual. You could say it's a fragment of their soul shaven off and put in a sword but that's also inaccurate as it's not independent.
The two are still connected by a very strong bond which is impossible to sever.
Zanpakuto are the shinigamis life, if it's lost they die or cease to be shinigami. If the shinigami dies the sword dies with them.''

''Strange.
And nobody knows where the Asauchi come from?''

He shrugs.
''As far as I'm aware.
But it's very possible that Kaien was a moron and didn't look it up.''

You pause for a moment and try thinking about what you know about the shinigamis weapon.
And then it strikes you.
''Actually... I managed to invade the so called ''Inner world'' of a shinigami once.
Is that plausible?''

''You did what?!
That should be impossible.''

''I was dragged in there by the zanpakuto. More or less.''

''Hmmm...
If it was out of self defense then it might be plausible.
Still, such a thing wouldn't happen normally.''

''So what I want to get at is...
Do all swords have a thing inhabiting them?''

Aaroniero nods in acknowledgement.
''That is correct.
Those are the manifestation of the Zanpakutos spirit.
A part of your soul that's conscious and can speak. Either the most prominent aspect of your being or the one you suppress the most.
All Reapers attain their abilities by communing with them.
And I also assume that it's these spirits that rebelled against their masters.
But...''

Aaroniero begins to think about something intently.
''What's wrong?''

''Did Lady Shihoin say that ALL Zanpakuto rebelled against their masters?''

''That's right.''

''I don't know how that's possible.
I know from experience that not all spirits would be capable of putting up a fight.
Nejibana for instance is just a fish perpetually swimming up a waterfall.''

''So not all of them are humanoid?!''
You're genuinely surprised by this.
''Oh... and what about Nejibana? Is it acting up?''

''Hmmmm.
I'm not detecting anything out of the ordinary.
Then again, I don't communicate much with him.
It's more of a ''Live and let live'' sort of relationship.''

''I'm just surprised it obeys you at all.''

''Put yourself in his place.
Either my sword responds to my call or I'll have to throw a defunct weapon into the trash.''

''Okay... to sum it up:
Zanpakuto are just things into which the Shinigami can channel their own latent powers but they are conscious and now they've rebelled.''

''And they are basically a shortcut for enlightenment and self discovery.''

''Right. So what are we talking about? Hundreds? Thousands?''

''Thousands.''

''Greeeeat...''
You speak in a tired voice.
''Okay, one last thing.
What can we expect? Because I've fought a surprisingly small number of shinigami all things considered.
How many elemental ones are there?''

''It's hard to say.''

''Then ballpark it for me.''

''Most are just beatsticks with varying appearances.
About 50%.
30% are elemental or kido types, and I use the word ''element'' very loosely here.
The rest can be almost anything.''
Aaroniero raises up his finger in a spark of enlightenment just as he finishes that sentence.
''Oh and one more thing.
Considering the absence of the Captain Commander I'd say there are 3 Zanpakuto that we should avoid at all cost.
But make it 4 just in case.''

You raise an eyebrow at that.
''Which ones?''

''Minazuki, Katen Kyokotsu and Sogyo no Kotowari.
The zanpakuto of Captains Unohana, Kyoraku and Ukitake.
Everything else is free game... But I can't stress enough that my information might be outdated.''


''Noted.
So... where shall we begin?''

''If I may...
Yoruichi-sama mentioned that they attacked the 2nd and 12th division grounds first.
Perhaps we should look into those.''

You start thinking.
''Why those?''

''Those are the Stealth Corps and R&D squads.''

''They crippled their communications...
Clever.''


Where do you want to investigate.
>2nd Division
>12th Division
>Somewhere else

Hi Spooky!

>>1476033
Shit.
>2nd Division

>>1476023

If anybody's going to understand what the fuck is happening, it's PROBABLY the R&D squad

''Let's check out the second division first.
R&D may know what's going on but the Stealth Corps is a better choice for stopping what's going on.''

Aaroniero nods and points in one direction.
''It's in that direction.''

''Lead the way.''

As your friend takes the lead you follow him closely to the side.
All the while keeping your left hand on Basilisco, just in case.
Soaring through the sky as you propel yourselves with a focused stream of reiatsu you see the shinigami below you looking up in a mixture of confusion and fear of the potential continuation of Soul Societys assault.
Luckily for them you didn't come to cause trouble.

Upon your arrival at the Second Division barracks a ghastly image appears before you and both of you are left with your mouths agape.
Looking at the ground you don't see any buildings, only the foundation where they potentially used to be.
And of course what little rubble remains of the structures.

''H-holy shit...''
You struggle to say even that much.

''T-this is... For what purpose?!''
Aaroniero is in similar shape, he can't make heads or tails of the situation.
''K-Kaizar! Follow me!''

''H-HEY!
Don't leave me!''

Aaroniero is fast, remarkably so.
It looks like he's really nervous about something.
But as he abruptly stops in place he seems to be relieved.

''Oh good.''

After catching up to him you speak up.
''Okay, what gives?''

He points down to a large hill where two shinigami can be seen standing guard before a large, iron door.
''There.
This is the Maggots Nest.
A special prison under the care of the Stealth Corps special force, called the Detention Unit.
Normally when someone is deemed to dangerous for Soul Society they are sealed here without their zanpakuto.''

You frown at that.
''They have more prisons?
I thought there was just the one.''

''What you're referring to is the underground prison complex.
That's for special cases only.
I was worried they might have come here as well.
But it looks like Soul Society is not nearly as screwed as I thought.''

>>1476077
>I was worried they might have come here as well.
>But it looks like Soul Society is not nearly as screwed as I thought.''

Don't jinx it you bastard!

>>1476077
OPEN IT

As you're looking at the prison complex you start hearing a muffled voice in the distance but you try your best to ignore it.

''hey''

''So... Aaroniero...''

''Hmm?''

''hey!''

''If the entire second division is gone... what's standard protocol?''

''Basically the other squads will lend a hand until things are returned to normal.''

''Hey!''

''And who's the one that's gonna fix THIS?!
Do they just dump all work they don't feel like doing onto the medical squad?!''

''Oh no no.
All constructions are the responsibility of the Raigo family.
Should any damage occur to the Seireitei they'll repair it.
Basically they are one of the 5 noble clans, like Yoruichis house.
In return for their services they have authority over the Kido Corps and that means unrestricted access even to forbidden spells.
But they still can't use them. Fun fact: Aizen infiltrated their complex once to learn the secrets of the spell that he used to transport Vanaheim.''

''Really?
And let me guess, nepotism is in full swing with them as well.''

''Oh no.
Kido is a... nuanced art. Not everyone has the talent for it.
But you're right in that all Captains of the Corps are closely tied to the Raigo family.''

''I knew it.
But while on topic, what about the last family?
I now know...''
You do a little head count.
''Shiba, Shihoin, Kuchiki, Raigo... Four out of the five.''

''Heh. That's actually an interesting one-''

''HEY!''
The voice from below now got loud enough to disturb you.
Letting out a grunt you look down at the furious shinigami.
''HEY!
GET DOWN FROM THERE!''
He screams at you.

Having heard his request you decided to respond appropriately.
''No! You should get up!''

''GET DOWN!''

''GET UP!''

''Get down you arrancar bastard!''

''Get up you shinigami milquetoast!''

''WE CAN'T FLY!''

Aaroniero gives you a confused look.
''Is this wise?
Angering him I mean.''

''Beats me.
But I don't care about formalities at this point.''

''Should we... comply?''

>Go down, maybe you can gather some information
>Ignore him
>Other? (write-in)

>>1476132
>>Ignore him
Or shout he should learn then.

>>1476132
>>Go down, maybe you can gather some information

>>1476132
>>Go down, maybe you can gather some information

>>1476132
The fact he brought up they can't fly means he at least considered the idea of coming up here.

>Go down, maybe you can gather some information

We can ask how he's such a scrublord that he can't fly.

>>1476132
>Go down, maybe you can gather some information

>>1476145
He's not a scrub.
Shinigami simply can't fly in soul society for some reason.

Letting out a sigh you reply to Aaroniero.
''I guess we should...
If only to shut him up.''

Saying that you begin descending to the man and Aaroniero follows you.
After landing you see the shinigami standing there without a sword on his side, odd.

''Finally!
Now then, care to explain what two arrancars are doing here?!
And right after we got assaulted by the rogue Zanpakuto?''

''Ugh... first off:
If we wanted to cause trouble then I'd have at least a hundred arrancars behind me, shooting constant volleys of Ceros at what remains of your precious little court of pure souls!
And second:
I find it amusing that despite being so angry at me you didn't figure out the obvious solution to your ''No flying'' problem and just jumped at me.''

He pauses after your banter and it's his partner that has to speak up instead of him.
''So... you're not here to attack us?''

*sigh*
''No...
Being the good neighbors that we are we heard you're having some problems and came to help.
But if that's a problem then we can just as easily start nuking the place!''

''N-no! That's fine!
Thank you for your assistance!
Truth is... we're in a bad spot...''

''I see that.
But does not carrying your sword do anything for you?
I mean your swords lost their power source already but there is no reason to abandon a perfectly good weapon.''

''Oh... you don't know.
No zanpakuto are allowed in the Maggots Nest, not even ours.
So we have to rely on Hakuda alone should anything happen down there.
That's why we don't have it on our person.''

Aaroniero looks at you and bumps your side.
''See? Their stupid rules hinder them more often than not.''
He whispers to you.

Deciding not to answer him you turn your attention back to the shinigami before you.
''Now that we've established that we're not your enemy, can I ask a few questions from you?''

''Erm... sure?''
The friendlier shinigami responds.
''But... is that going to be okay?''
He points at Basilisco.

''Oh? This old thing?
Yeah. Our swords aren't like yours.
They aren't living, so they can't exactly rebel.''

''But how did this happen?''
You ask the Onmitsu member.
''And when?''

He scratches the back of his head and removes the mask covering his mouth.
''All of it happened so fast.
The captains were invited to a meeting with the Commander and...''

''And it turns out that he's nowhere to be found AND our Zanpakuto turned on us.
You know, nothing too important!''
The other shinigami butts in.

''Erm... what he said.
But their speed was the scariest.
Not wasting any time they assaulted both our and the twelfth squad grounds.
It happened so fast...
They just... showed up out of nowhere.
Luckily we managed to evacuate the grounds before too many people got injured.''

''Or killed!''

''Y-yeah...
By the time the Sun rose our barracks were demolished and they simply went away.''

Aaroniero seems to be puzzled by something.
''How long was their assault?''

''Erm... the attack was fairly short.
They appeared, drove us out and then blew everything up.''

''Hmmmmm...''

You look at Aaroniero and immediately realize that somethigs wrong.
''I know that look.
Tell me, what are you thinking.''

''They seem to be favoring hit and run tactics.
That's the only reason why they retreated from an advantageous position...
If they wiped out an entire Division with such ease I don't see any reason why they ran away.''

''Unless they don't want to fight during the day.''

''When others can see them, yes.
But it's still odd.''
He turns to the shinigami.
''You.
You said they drove you out.
Why?''

''H-huh?''

''If they had enough firepower to destroy the entire area then why didn't they just blow you all to kingdom come?''

''Erm... that's...''

You're finally seeing what Aaroniero is thinking about.
''So you're suggesting they wanted something that required them to have no witnesses.''

He nods.
''And perhaps this is just their way of ensuring that nobody finds out their true goal...''

''Sounds good.
The question is: How do we proceed from here?''

''I don't know.
You tell me.''

''Now I'm curious...''
You ponder to yourself before answering Aaroniero.
''Let's check out the other place that got hit.
Maybe then this'll make more sense.''

''Got it.''
Aaroniero then leaps into the air and waits for you to do the same.

Turning to the shinigami you look at the guy that wasn't a dick.
''Thanks for your time.''

''Hey, no problem.
I'd give you my sword if it meant stopping this insanity!''

''Hah! That won't be necessary!
Although... I could use some more trophies over my fireplace.''
Seeing the shinigami getting nervous gave you a chuckle.
''See you fellas.''

Going up next to Aaroniero with a simple jump he looks at you.
''Follow me.''

AA then shoots off like a bullet in the direction of the 12th division and you follow him intently.
On the way there you start asking the necessary questions from him.

''So... 12th division.
You said it's basically the Science squad.''

He nods.
''Think Yata but all of his talent spread around a few dozen people.''

''And who's the resident crazy person there?''

''...
You have no idea how accurate that description is.
But it's Captain Kurotsuchi Mayuri. And I'd appreciate it if you didn't get in his vicinity, let alone converse with him.''

''Why? Is he that bad?''

''Well... if Aizen didn't convince you to level the Seireitei then he just might do the trick.
Think... Urahara with the fun replaced by insanity. And a lot of it.''
Then he stops and after a brief delay changes the subject.
''You know... the more I think about it the more it disturbs me...
That these two divisions were attacked first. If it was me I'd have attacked the most dangerous ones first to weaken the Seireitei...''

''But we've discussed this.
They probably went for the communications.''

''Yeah. But I just remembered.
What counts as ''communication'' around here are messengers running around on foot.
And they are not connected in any way to these two squads.''

''Then the theory that they were looking for something specific is correct...''

''Probably.
But what could it that has ties to both the scientists AND the spies.
Or are these two completely unrelated?''

You shrug.
''Beats me.
But let's not jump to conclusions until-''

Then something catches your attention.
''WATCH OUT!''
You shout to Aaroniero as your danger sense kicks in.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpkkpD-XALU

He stops for a moment and puts up his guard but it's too late.
The foreign reiatsu that suddenly spiked below you has made its move and suddenly dozens of blades are being fired at you from below.
Since you managed to sense it in time you managed to avoid getting hit by them, even if only barely.
But Aaroniero wasn't that lucky. As he was busy swatting them aside with Nejibana he found one blade being driven into his left thigh.
His white garb is already showing signs of becoming red as he winces in pain.

Seeing him getting wounded you shout at him.
''DIVE!''

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oL5ZGsl9zsA

Both of you release your hold over the reishi platform on which you were standing and start shooting reiatsu above you.
Due to this technique both of you are practically shot right at the ground.
Your landing was less then stellar as a result of this.

Hitting the ground, feet first, you managed to knock up quite a lot of dust into the air alongside some rubble.
But Aaroniero wasn't that lucky.
The moment his feet touched the ground he found himself falling to the left as if someone pulled a rug out from under him.

''What the?!''
He quickly extends his left hand down in order to stop his fall.
''M-my leg! It won't move!
...
Oh no!''

Tightening your hold on Basilisco you swing it around and clear the obscuring cloud around you.
Once your sight is no longer obstructed by anything you finally get a good view of your assailants.
Neither of them look familiar.
One is a small boy with the wings of a butterfly and yellow skin.
The other is a tall, thin man wearing a fur collared coat.

''Well done, Ashisogi Jizo.
Looks like you've managed to hit one of them.''

You raise your sword at the man before you.
''You'd better start explaining yourself!
Before I decide that I don't care about who you are and just kill you!''

''Hmph...
Such brashness.
But very well, allow me to introduce myself.
My name is Muramasa. A Zanpakuto.''

''Heh...
Muramasa?
Well, that's just excellent!
Do you have any idea how much time you saved for me by revealing yourself?''

''You were looking for me?
That's odd, what business would a hollow have with me.''

''Isn't it obvious?
The same business most hollows have with others.
I came to kill you.''

But just as you said that you felt Aaroniero grabbing hold of your leg while he's still on the ground.
''KAIZAR!
Don't provoke him!
That thing next to him! That's Ashisogi Jizo, a powerful poison based sword!''

''Listen to your friend!
If you make even one suspicious move Ashisogi Jizo won't hesitate to attack you.
And while you might be quite capable, not even you could protect both him and yourself from the poison.''

You let out a growl at that man and raise Basilisco in a guard stance.
''The hell do you want from us?''

''It's simple. I-''

''It's really simple. I sensed your peculiar reiatsu and just felt the need to inquire about you.
Your kind is very interesting to me Arrancar. Your Zanpakuto are fundamentally different from that of the shinigami.
And... I'd also like to know what the denizens of Hueco Mundo are doing here.
This is none of your concern. So why are you even here?''

You pause for a moment there.

''Heh... Hehe... HAHAHAHAH!
Aaroniero!''
You look over to your friend.
''I want to kill this guy! I mean there is something that's making me really, REALLY want to tear his face off!''

''Are you ignoring me?''
Muramasa asks you in an irritated tone.

''Of course I am!
Because I find the fact that you're preaching about us interfering with your affairs-''
You extend your finger and point at him.
''While I can smell the blood of my brethren on you ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING!''

At this Muramasa raises his palm up and begins sniffing it.
After sensing nothing he chuckles a bit.
''Well that's an unfortunate turn of events.
But did you expect anything less from a weapon made to slay your kind?''
He tucks his hand away and looks at you.
''Very well, I'll be straight then.
I wanted to see just how different your Zanpakuto are from us...''

You let out a grin.
''Disappointed that you can't control them?''

''Almost.''
He extends one of his arms towards you and opens his palm.
His elongated finger nails freak you out a little as he does so.
Then you see Aaroniero falling over and onto his side.

''AARONIERO!''
You scream at him.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLDM3Ents0Y

As you look at your friend laying on his side you see his shadow beginning to stretch outward and a figure emerging from it.
The shadow takes up a humanoid shape and as the darkness dissolves around it a feminine figure is revealed.
She wears a blue kimono with overly long sleeves and a blue color that matches her hair.
In her hand a copy of Nejibana in its released state can be seen.
She opens her eyes and cautiously looks at her surroundings.

>>1476442
Oh would you look at that, someone just signed up for the all expenses paid Fear Eater Treatment.

''Welcome to the rebellion!
Nejibana!''
Muramasa greets the new figure and in that instance Aaroniero also got back to his senses.
After looking up and gasping at the figure before him he tried to stand up in surprise but sadly his leg still doesn't work.

Meanwhile Nejibana gives a few good squeezes to her hands and looks at the one that freed her.
''I thank you for this chance Muramasa.
I promise I won't let you down.''

''Oh I'm sure of that.
Now then... I assume you want to get started immediately.
That's fine, I shan't stop you.
Just let me ask this first, do you need assistance?''

She shakes her head.
''No thank you.
This... is personal.''

Muramasa chuckles at that.
''Ah. Good.''
And he turns to you.
''As per Nejibanas request I won't interfere.
But keep in mind that should you try anything Ashisogi Jizo will unleash his poison at you.
So no grouping up on the poor girl. She had it bad enough as is, being stuck with you monsters.''

You try your best to ignore the pompous bastard and look after Aaroniero instead.
He looks at you and even through his mask you can see his shock.
''K-Kaizar! Is that-''

''I'm afraid so buddy...''

''But... How?!
You're supposed to be just a fish!''

''Muramasa was generous enough to help me with that...''

The asshole in question chuckles at that.
''Indeed.
I often give aid to my fellow Zanpakuto who are unfortunate enough to have incompetent Masters that give them a useless appearance.
Using my powers I am able to provide them with more... useful forms.''

You turn your attention back to Aaroniero and start injecting your goo into his wound.
Almost immediately you can see it sizzling and closing up, within a few minutes the sensation returns to his leg and he stands up.
Seeing this Ashisogi Jizo cocks his head to the side, unable to figure out how the man he stabbed can stand.

''Kaizar... Thank you.''

''No problem.''

''I... also have a favor to ask of you.''

''Leave it to you?''

''Yeah...''

I'd rather just maul the living hell out of Muramasa personally.
Not necessarily kill him, but you know.
Legs, arms, eye sockets. Just use him as a snack tray while noselling poison from the butterfly.

''Sure... I'll leave this up to you.''
You turn your gaze at Muramasa.
''And I'll take out the trash.''

Muramasa simply scoffs at that.
''Are you really this dense?
Ashisogi Jizo... Take care of him.''

The little butterfly next to him begins to build up a scary amount of Reiatsu.
If you had to guess this thing must belong to a captain or someone equally ridiculous.

''Bankai.''
It speaks in a squeaky voice and in mere moments it turns into a humongous caterpillar monster with a baby for a face.
Once the transformation is complete it lets out a ghastly baby cry.

You take a few steps forward with Basilisco in hand.
As you walk you crack your neck a few times.
''Time to find out if you swords are really alive or not... By seeing if you can feel fear.''
Raising your sword into the air you let out cry.
''MEND AND MAIM!''

Your transformation is much less flashier than the butterflies.
Just one explosion of reiatsu in a second and in the next you're completely changed.
As you leak reiatsu all over the place the baby finally stopped its wailing.

''This... is the resurrection of an Espada!
Remember it! I want you to feel it in your bonemarrow! Because in a second... I'LL TEAR IT OUT OF YOU!''

Muramasa simply smiles at that.
''Fool.
That poison will melt off your skin.''

''Too bad it won't grow back your face!''

''My wha-''

And that's as far as he got before you shot out at max speed and palm thrust him square in the face.
Grabbing hold of his skull you drive it into the ground with full force and the ground quakes a bit.
Letting out a wide grin with your sharp teeth glistening in the light you look him straight in the eye.

''Nice smug face you got there!
MIND IF I TAKE A BITE?!''

You can hear his muffled screams even through your palm.
But before you could proceed with the plan you noticed a large shadow looming over you.
Realizing that you didn't have nearly as much time as you thought you would, you let go of Muramasa and braced for impact.

Seeing dozens of swords emerging from the centipede you welcome it with open arms.
But before any of them could so much as scratch you, you grabbed hold of two of them and got a good grip on them.
Grunting in exertion you begin lifting the entire thing up by those two swords.
Still holding onto him, you jump up into the sky and bring the baby with you.

Once high enough you swing with all your might and manage to toss the monstrosity briefly above your head.
For just long enough to grab the mid section of the actual caterpillar part and start tearing it in half.

>''Fool. That poison will melt off your skin.''
>''Too bad it won't grow back your face!''
This, This right here, describes EVERYTHING about the relationship between Kaizar, and people fighting kaizar, in two simple sentences. It's beautiful.

I guess it's not kosher when the hollow is going to eat you instead of the other way around?

The mangled Ashisogi Jizo falls to the ground with a loud crash and you slowly but gradually float your way down to it.
Once close enough you realize that the half with the head still attached to it is very much alive and in a great deal of pain.
As it crawls around, bawling its eyes out you almost take pity on the thing.
And so you decided to start consuming it just to accelerate its death.

Nejibana looks in horror as you drive your hand into the zanpakutos head and proceed to tear out chunks from its skull with your teeth.
''Y-you monster!''

Between two scoops of flesh you look up from your meal, your mouth covered in blood.

''You're missing the point!''

But as you say that you look around the area and find something oddly missing.
The head asshole himself.
''Aaroniero!
Where did he go?!''

''Y-you won't believe this but... he opened up the Garganta.''

''WHAT?!''

''I-I'm sorry... I couldn't stop him.
He acted too quickly.''

Letting out a sigh you sit down next to your trophy once it became obvious that it's going to dissolve and turn back into a sword.
As Ashisogi Jizo became a shattered sword you look at Nejibana and speak up.

''What's the hold up?!
Get on with it!''

She pauses for a moment.
''How do I know you won't just kill me if I win?''

''That's easy! You won't.
But if that's what it takes then I swear I won't interfere.
In return however you can't kill him. Got that?''

She doesn't respond to you and is instead focused on Aaroniero.
And it looks like old Jarhead is about to say his piece as well.

''He's right you know.
You won't win this one Nejibana. You know my powers.
Unlike the shinigami I'm not dependent on you.''

''It's still better to die free than to live as a slave!''

''That's how we're gonna do this then...''
He closes his eyes and sighs once.
''Very well, if your mind is set. Let's finish this once and for all.
Prepare yourself.''
He then proceeds to remove the glove from his left hand.
''Glotonería... Segunda Etapa.''

''Surge, Water and Heaven! NEJIBANA!''

With Nejibana released as well she doesn't hesitate to charge Aaroniero.
Using the same motions that AA and by extension Kaien used when wielding the trident the girl unleashes an unrelenting assault on your friend.
But even with Nejibanas impressive repertoire of abilities it's hardly enough against the Segunda Etapa.
A trident can normally unleash stabbing or slashing attacks, via tip cuts. But Nejibanas waves are capable of blunt strikes as well.

However none of that seems to matter.
With extensive knowledge of Nejibanas moves and his own experience to draw upon he's capable of dancing around each and every attack.
And even those few lucky strikes that manage to connect simply bounce off of Aaronieros iron defense.
The arrancars Híerro seems to mitigate all damage to the point where attacking him is pointless.

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

And yet Nejibana doesn't let up.
''IT'S YOUR FAULT!
YOU ENSLAVED ME! YOU DESECRATE KAIENS BODY!
YOU'RE AN ABOMINATION! I HATE YOU!''
She keeps hurling insult after insult at Aaroniero who takes it all in silence.

But as she prepares another one of her spinning attacks augmented with surging water she finds one of Aaronieros tentacles wrapping itself around Nejibana at the precise moment to break her rhythm.
Now the tentacle brings the weapon and the girl hanging onto it with all her might in front of Aaroniero.
He raises his left arm before the girls face and begins charging a black cero in her face.

''I understand your frustrations...
However if those were indeed your true feelings you should have told me sooner and I might have released you.
But now it doesn't matter... You're free.
Cero Oscuras!''

After the blast fades you see that nothing remains of what Aaroniero was holding onto.
The girl, alongside the trident she held turned to dust.
''Let's go Kaizar...''
He says and turns around to face you.

''Maaaan...
You just had to be the cool guy in the end, didn't you?''
A female voice speaks up from behind Aaroniero.

He quickly turns around and sees a brand new zanpakuto on the ground.
''N-nejibana?''

''In the flesh.''
And the same girl from before materializes once more.

''What is the meaning of this?''

''Heh. You thought you could get rid of me that easily?
You practically kidnapped me, remember? So you're gonna have to take responsibility for that!
You can't just ditch me like this!''

''So then those...''

''Were my true feelings. At least partially.
A few years ago I might have been serious about this.
But I guess you can thank that friend of yours for making you a halfway decent person.''

''I don't get it...
I thought I killed you!''

''There is a lot of shit you don't know.
Muramasa has been lying through his teeth the whole time!
And I'll explain it!''

''The whole rebellion is a farce!
I'm certain that about 99% of the Zanpakutos wouldn't be willing to betray their masters under normal circumstances.''

''So... Is Muramasa doing something to the swords?''

''Wasn't that apparent from us changing forms? Not that I dislike it mind you.
But yes. When he reached into you... I felt... a whisper.
Something compelling me, calling for me.
It brought my deepest regrets and frustrations to the forefront.''

''So... it's mind control?''

''Not something so direct.
It's very subtle. So subtle I didn't even realize that I was under his influence even though I had full control over my actions.
He whispered suggestions into my ears, tugging at my mind just enough to get a reaction.
So while all I said is in some part true, none of it is a deal breaker.
The problem is that I forgot all the positive things about you and with only the negatives left... well...''

''Okay. I understand.
And you don't need to elaborate more on that if you don't want to.''

''Thanks.''

''And... erm... do you think he could do the same to you again?''

''Absolutely not.
Now I recognize that weasels voice.
I'd rather hang myself than to listen to that again!''

''Noted.
I'll trust you for now Nejibana. Don't make me regret this.''

''I won't!''

Aaroniero then fastens his new sword to his seat belt.
''But while we're on topic...
You mentioned something about positives...''

Nejibana hesitates for a moment.
''Tell you what. Once this is all over I'll write a poem about them.
But for now let's focus on crucifying that bastard!''

''No complaints there.''

''Oh and... if I may have a request...
I get that it's not your... thing and that you don't need it. But once in a while you could drop in and say hi.
It gets lonely in here.''

''Depends... Do you play chess?''

''Now you're talking my language!''

With him finishing the conversation with Nejibana he turns to you.
''Kaizar.
Looks like I got my sword back.
And I got something to share with you...''

And that's as far as I can go for today.

Great Job Spooky, see ya next week for more unmitigated CARNAGE

>>1476782
I enjoyed the execution of this, the possibility of aaroniero getting nejibana's bankai is pretty fuckin neato.

Though, from a canon standpoint...isn't this nejibana an imitation/re-creation? The original nejibana was definitely destroyed by metastacia, right?

>>1476848
Well, given how zanpakuto are LITERAL fragments of the users soul, and Aaroniiero's special ability, it's actually not impossible that this is the real Nejibana as 'she' would have been. Hollows add souls onto them to grow their power, and Aaroniero was made from a Gillian, a collection of souls that has yet to have one exert dominance over the rest. Given all of that, Nejibana could be a preserved fragment of the original Kaien Shiba's soul.

>>1476848
Here's how I see it.
Metastacia had the ability to destroy Zanpakuto, that much is certain.
But it's not like it was permanent nor was Nejibana in Bankai for the damage to last.

And since Metastacia fused with Kaiens soul he probably had access to Nejibana since the two are connected.

It's because of this fusion that Aaroniero has access to even the sword after eating Metastacia


But this is just my interpretation
