"As much as I appreciate the offer I have something else in mind."

"Hmmm?"

"There are none who know more about Hollows and Hueco Mundo than you, so perhaps you could tell me more about the mysteries and nature of my people and our homeland?"

"An interesting request...
But contrary to what you may believe it does have some relevance.
Very well! I shall indulge you!"
With the dragon taking a deep breath you feel the wind rising up all around you.
Something you thought never happened down here since the air is so still normally.

"It all started several million years ago, when the planet was in its infancy.
The ultimate goal of the universe, the creation of life had happened on this planet."

"Ultimate goal of the universe?
What are you talking about?"

"Life. Organic matter.
When the requirements are met the natural processes that a developing planet undergoes produce organic matter from inorganic one.
Like lightning in a bottle. Miraculous and improbable... but it only needs to happen once.
At first it was a simple matter...
Single cell organisms without much awareness, reproducing constantly and fighting for survival.
But as they grow in numbers, mutations cause them to change.
Slowly life takes a more complex form and as these creatures grow their spark of life produces something... great."

"The afterlife..."

"Precisely.
At first there were but two..."
The entity raises two fingers.
"The beast realm... and Hueco Mundo.
The purpose purpose of the Beast Realm is simple: Processing the spirits of living beings.
The excess spiritual energy, created as the animals grow older, is drained and used to create more fresh souls.
Then what's left is sent back to reincarnate. Maybe as the same animal as last time.
Or a lesser one if they weren't... adequate enough. Or a more complex one if they were exceptional.
Ultimately it is a short process. And painless."

"But not Hueco Mundo."

He shakes his head.
"The purpose of this place is different although similarly simple... At least it used to be.
You see, the world is not a perfect one.
Mistakes... often happen. Things that can wound even the simple creatures on a very... deep level.
When a soul lingers in the Living Realm for whatever reason, they undergo a change.
Faced with the dread of eternal existence the soul is driven... mad.
It turns inside out, revealing the beast inside... and the power that comes with it."

"And those that suffer trauma?"

"You ask why You changed.
Yes... several things can accelerate the process.
Trauma is one of them.
Back when only animals lived it usually happened only when a mother witnessed her own cubs die before she herself perished.
The thought of dying without passing on their genes. The thought of dying out could cause it."

"So...
The appearance of humans changed things..."

He nods.
"It was inevitable.
Life always kept on evolving, growing more complex.
So the afterlife also had to keep up."
He takes yet another deep breath and only now do you notice that this is the second time he did this at all.
"What happened maybe one in several hundred thousand cases became much more... regular.
With humanity and consciousness came sin. The side-effect of free will I suppose.
Worse and worse atrocities were committed... Or... perhaps you monkeys were simply capable of comprehending it.
I don't know..."

He starts thinking to himself for a moment.
But he eventually snaps out from this state.
"Anyway... Yes.
Hueco Mundo became more populated.
And with more and more souls in need of mending this realm and with it I grew stronger."

"So... that's what the fruit is for.
Healing the wounds of the soul?"

"Hmmm... yes.
The original purpose of this place was to accelerate the recovery of these damaged spirits.
All for the sake of the Cycle."

"But Barragan fucked that."

"Quite.
I suppose I underestimated humanity at that point.
I foolishly assumed that with nothing to gain and everything to lose from doing something so monumentally stupid no humans would do it.
But... that creature was fine with ruining the lives of all, even himself, as long as he could play King for a bit.
He even willingly accepted cannibalism if it meant he could parade himself with a crown...
I made sure to send him to the deepest pits of Hell for what he has done!"
He pauses once more.
"Speaking of Hell...
I told you that there were 2 afterlives, correct?"

"Yes."

"Well...
Hell was created later.
The third of us three siblings and the youngest.
You have yourself to thank for that.
All the pain you humans caused sent ripples through the spiritual plain.
The pain, fear and resentment of all those victims, their cries for justice gave birth to that dreadful place.
Its only purpose is to break the souls of the sinners apart. To use them as raw material so that something good may come from them.
And unlike me or the Beast King, Hells "curator" is not a separate entity.
It is Hell itself. A perfect hivemind where every inch of the dimension is a part of the whole.
Conscious... and hateful for its own creation."

"So you... these "guardians"... do you know each other?
Or are you just aware of each others existence?"

"We are for all intents and purposes brothers.
The Beast King, Hell and myself are linked.
Though we may not like each other that much we do not care.
We are but gears in the great machine of the Cycle. And we will do our jobs. No matter what.
That alone binds us together stronger than anything else..."

"You've left out something...
The Soul Society. That place really doesn't fit into the picture.
Not to mention the Soul King..."

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

You can see the dragons face twist and change in what you can only describe as rage.
His eyes glow fiercer and fiercer until they are bloodshot red.
He clenches his fists and begins growling.

"Oh... that.
That... cancerous growth of a blemish on the face of creation!
Those... bastards...
When I witnessed it first... I was stunned how they could out perform that skeletal Aztec son of a whore!
DAMN THEM ALL TO HELL!"

As he shouts his final words he sends out a powerful gust of wind from his mouth.
Luckily you manage to stand your ground just as he smashes the ground in anger.
Yet again you manage to withstand the blast but this time only barely.
And you suspect that your eardrums might have popped when the shockwave hit you.
Once the wind passes you shoot a handful of mucus at Marrs head so his hearing is also restored.

As the beast pants heavily you look at him.
"Touchy subject, I see."

"Touchy doesn't... even... FUCKING... describes it!"
The gargantuan creature takes a few moments to collect himself and once he is calm he begins speaking.
"But yes... those are the odd ones out of all the realms.
They... have done something... unimaginable.
If Baraggan threw a wrench into the workings of the Cycle then those degenerates broke it in half.
And now we all must pay the price while they are trying to put the pieces back together..."

"Okay.
You've got my attention now."

"You know of the Valley of Screams, right?"
You nod.
"Good. I see that rock of yours is at least useful for something."

"Actually the memories of my Master were wiped out.
But I successfully restored them."

"I do not care Orb.
But yes... imagine one such plane of existence.
A place where human spirits are sent temporarily before they are immediately reincarnated.
It was more of a technical issue... Since humans were not fit to go to the Beast Realm or Hueco Mundo they got one of the Valley of Screams all for themselves. A previously unheard of thing.
But having just that one species inhabit the place turned out to be a fatal mistake..."

"What happened?"

"Greed.
One of your worst qualities in my eyes.
Some fools got it in their idea that they like power... and living for up to thousands of years so they can abuse said power.
So a group of humans began to scheme.
And their deadly machinations brought ruin to us all."

>>1788765
Holy shit.

>>1788801
Well to be fair we all knew Soul Society was full of fuck ups.

That being said this has gone beyond fuckup territory. It's like some bizarre fuckception.

An abstract Concept of Fuckup given physical form.

"You see... amongst these humans... one found a way to remove himself and his accomplices from the Cycle.
His name... I can not say."

"Hyosube Ichibé..."
You feel just a tiny prick in your throat.
"You can't say his name, can you?"

"I could say it without issue.
That worm has no power over me.
However I'd not risk him gaining any power from me...
Anyway... Him alongside a few set their plan in motion.
In a brutal display of raw... humanity. They began a bloody ritual.
The blood of the innocent flowed like wine for years...
They murdered millions upon millions of their fellow men. For. One. Reason.
To birth a GOD!"

The word hit you like a nail in the heart.
"So... the Soul King is-"

"Artificial.
A fake.
Countless souls butchered, their remains rolled into one blood pulp.
Then..."
The dragon opens a palm and raises his other hand.
SLAM
He claps them together.
"the mass got compacted and given form.
For you see... They learned of Us. The curators of entire realms. And they learned our secret.
By amassing so many souls into one, singular point they created a... thing with such a powerful spiritual pressure that it acted like a gravitational field, pulling all the reishi from their surroundings to it.
That is why there is such a large void between the realms.
The Valleys that once connected them were sucked into one point.
They name it-"

"Soul Society..."

He nods.
"What was a temporary space became something more... permanent.
A space rivaling the three realms in size. One that could pull almost all Human souls in, except those that belonged to Hell of course.
These... heretics. The ones that created the realm.
They then began re-writing history, establishing themselves as the supreme rulers of the realm.
The Four Great Noble Houses!"

You fall to your knees.
"It's a lie... It's all one big LIE!
They never received authority from the Soul King!"

"They are the ones that have authority over It. Yes.
It is for these reasons why the Soul Reapers try so desperately to keep up the balance of souls!
Because they are the ones responsible for creating it in the first place!"
End takes a step back and breathes deeply, both to calm himself and to collect his thoughts.
"But as you can imagine... having a pet God is easier said than done.
So... they castrated it upon birth, removing his limbs so he could not act. And then tore out his heart so he could not have feelings.
Or something that could go hollow..."

You look down at your hand and see them shaking, you feel your skin tingling and your eyes nervously twitching.
"Since when?"

"I know not.
Unlike you I don't even count Eons, much less days.
But it has been going on for a while.
At first it was not too bad. One of the main culprits, the monk, was even content living a "normal" life.
But as time went on... they started taking things for granted. And wanted more."

Then there was silence.
Neither of you wanted to speak up.
But as the lack of sound got unbearable you asked what was on your mind.

"How many...
How many of the Shinigami know this?"

"Very few I'd wager.
Only their most trusted and powerful soldiers presumably.
No more than five if I had to guess."

"And they just... TOLERATE THIS?!"

End sighs.
"Kaizar Soize.
You must control your emotions.
...
They probably hate this as much as you do.
But I'm sure you've seen the influence of the nobles.
And besides... the damage has already been done.
That thing... I hate to admit this but they've done a fine job with it.
It was so successful that it has become the linchpin holding the very fabric of reality together.
If he was EVER removed... then all life as we know it would end on Earth."
Exhaling with relief End lays back once more.
"So... are you satisfied with your answer?
What will you do now?"

>Nothing. I'll head back home and chalk this up as another reason to bash Ichibés and the nobles brains out.
>War.
>Other? (write-in)

Might want to tweet that you're live, Spook.

>>1788885
OH FUCKING GOD DAMN IT! I FORGOT AGAIN!

>>1788885
No... wait...
I just checked. I did!

>>1788884
>>Nothing. I'll head back home and chalk this up as another reason to bash Ichibés and the nobles brains out.

I really, really, want to go to war over this, but we already got the Quincies coming up for a face full of buckshot.

We'll deal with Ichibe and his bullshit after we take care of the quincies.

But make no mistake, there will be a price paid for this, travesty, on that you have my fucking word.

>>1788884
War sounds so temtping, bu eh, fucking Quincy are coming...

Heh.

Okay that's fairly one sided.

And I'm even going to ignore the meta reasoning this time because the quincy have been foreshadowed a bit already

However I may have to go afk for a few minutes so update may be a bit late.

>>1788966
Does this make the SS the good guys?

>>1788994
More like the guys trying to fix the shit they broke

>>1788994
Lolno, honestly we need to figure out how to undo their supreme fuck up as always.

>>1789002
>>1788994

SS is like one of those people keeping the whole reality together because some head honchos fucked it up so bad.
We should really think about this.

>>1789008
All we need to do is kill all the nobles, and the RG, and then beat the shit out of zaraki a few times so he calms down a tad, then it's all good. Not like anyone else is at fault. Sorry OMG, but you have to go, too.

>>1789008
They managed to Fuck up so bad that reality sits on a retarded tightrope, shits gonna go bad really Fucking fast cause SS has literally fuck all they can do to the quincy king.

>>1789014
>>1789018
Thing is I doubt we can do anything to fix this mess.

>>1789014
Why OMG? He did nothing wrong.
In fact he shows hostility towards Ichibé for this very thing
AND he's the only one to ever stand up to the nobles

>>1789026
I have a couple ideas but it's iffy at best, theoretically with what we'very seen in bleach canon things can take the place of the soul king if it dies, and we do have hao...

>>1789028
Cause shit's on fire yo

>>1789028
Because he's scary as fuck. And because he hasn't done anything to fix this mess for all these years despite knowing.

>>1789049
Cause he can't do anything about it.
Monk is OP as fuark.

>>1789028
I don't want us to fight OMG his a good kid and might even help us fix shit.

"Nothing. Not now anyways.
Instead I think I'll head back to my family."

"So... you'll ignore it?"

"No...
I'll just chalk it up as another reason why I'll tear Hyosube Ichibé apart!"
This time... saying his name didn't hurt.

End smiles at that.
"Good!
But... I must warn you.
That may be easier said than done."

"Never stopped me before."
You turn your attention to Marr.
"Marr! Are you ready?"

Your sparring partner stands up and shifts his weight on the leg that got injured.
"Yeah... a little sore but I'll manage."

"Good."
You turn back to End.
"And you."

"Hmm?"

"I may return one day.
If it's okay with you."

"Suit yourself.
But next time... don't show up without some sort of offering!"

You smile at that.
"I've never been too keen on worship...
Maybe I'll just view it as a gift for my gracious host!"
You wave your hand as you turn your back to the Dragon and leave.

Once you're away End curls up into a massive mountain of a ball and grumbles to himself.
"Finally... peace and quiet."

As you climb out of the pit... well, maybe "climb" isn't the best word, more like "jump".
You begin walking through the desert.
The journey is quite uneventful as anybody who'd attack you must be either suicidal or mentally retarded.
But sadly you had to hear Marrs whining the whole way.

"Are we there yet?"
"My legs hurt."
"I'm hungry."
So on and so forth.

You offered to carry him at one point but that shut him up quickly.
His pride probably couldn't take such a hit.

But eventually you do make it and when you see the outer walls your heart practically skips a beat.
You were barely gone over a day and yet it feels like you've been absent for weeks.
Still... the walls just appeared at the horizon and that means you are still a few hours away from home.
Humming to yourself you look at Marr next to you.

"Race you there!"
Kicking the ground you disappear in a flash.

"H-Hey! NO FAIR!
SLOW DOWN YOU CUNT!"
Marr follows your example.

Being a good sport you slowed down to give him a fair chance.
You still won by a landslide however.
And that couple hour long journey was done in seconds just like that.

As you touch the door you look back at Marr while panting slightly.
"I won!"

"Bullshit!
You still cheated at the start!"

"Then I slowed down on purpose.
So that makes it fair."

"The Hell it does!"

"HEY! What's with the commo-
Errrrr..."
The arrancar looking down at you appears to be having two strokes and a heart attack at the same time.
"OPEN THE GATES! OPEN THE FUCKING GATES RIGHT NOW!"
He orders his fellows.

They too give you a few curious looks but each of them have the same reaction. Panic.
And so one of the gates built into the walls themselves open wide for you and you step on through.
Once you're in the city itself a few people who are relatively close to the walls give you a few odd looks.
They are not nearly as scared as the Exequias but their anxiety is still visible.

"So uh.... I think I'm gonna go check on Lan.
She must be worried."

"Yeah, you do that.
I'll head home as well.
You know we should do this more often."

"Fuck no! I'm not going back there!
You saw that thing, right?
It looked at me like he wanted to kill me with his gay."

And just like that the big, scary tyrant of Hueco Mundo walked off into the knight.
Presumably to play tea party with his petite lady friend.

Not wanting to waste any more time you follow his example and make your way home.
Without knocking you open the door and barge in.
"I'm home!"
You wait for a response but there is none.
Even though you can feel the presence of both your wife and your daughter.
"That's strange..."

You make your way up the stairs and in your room where you find Tia on the phone.
"Uh-huh.
Yes. He just came.
We'll be over soon.
And thank you once more.
Bye."
She hangs up.

"Who was it?"

"Who do you think I communicate with on the phone?"

"Masaki?"

"Correct.
We just got an invite to a very special occasion."

"Oh really?
Why am I not surprised?"

"No complaining now.
You frequently disappear for whatever errand pops up.
You can withstand a bit of socializing I'm sure.
Now go and get a shower. I want us to look good."

"Really? Now I'm curious.
Gigai or no gigai?"

"I'm on my way to get them."

"Uh-huh.
Then how about a "welcome back" kiss before you do so?"
You lean in closer but Tia stops you.

"Not before you wash yourself.
You reek."

In that moment Sofia bursts into the room.
"Mom, I found it!"
She raises a baby rattler high into the air.
"Oh. Hello Father."

"Pumpkin!"
You raise up your daughter and hug her tight.
"I missed you!
Say... what's that in your hand?"

But Sofia pushes you away and covers her nose.
"You smell."

"Okay! Okay! I got it already!
Jeez!"

>>1789247
>"It looked at me like he wanted to kill me with his gay."

Gay?

>>1789247
... How long were we gone?

>>1789264

Couldn't have been that long, could it?

I mean what special...

Oh dear god is Ichigo getting married?

Or worse is his hellspawn about to be unleashed upon an unsuspecting earth?

>>1789262
I may have fucked that one up.
I believe it was a quote from Zero Punctuation:

"They stared at me like they were trying to kill me with their gays."

But I couldn't quite remember it, so I winged it

>>1789264
A few hours over a day

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etM2QJ-lW-c

As you enter the bath room and start undressing you hear the girls leaving the house to get the Gigai.
Once you are inside you let the water wash over you as you stare up at the faucet.
The water running down your face feels oddly relaxing and so you actually waste quite a lot of time just standing there lost in thought.
By the time you finish the girls already made the trip to the lab and back.

Stepping out you hear a familiar voice.
"Catch."

Raising your hand you snatch the towel from the air.
"Thanks Dear."

"Don't mention it.
Now dry yourself up so we can OH MY-"
The voice of your wife gives out as she gasps at something.

As you keep rubbing your face you hear her footsteps getting closer to you.
Once your face is relatively dry you move the towel aside and see Tia staring at your body merely inches away from you.
"Like what you see?"

She looks up at you and leans in for a kiss.
"Okay. You got me.
But... what were you doing?!"

*sigh*
"It's a long story.
One that I'd rather not tell because it might sour your mood.
Buuut at least I got a bit more fit thanks to it!"

"Yeah.
No kidding."
She runs her fingers across your muscles to make sure she is not imagining things.
"Wow... That's... that's quite some change."

"Shouldn't we get going?"

"Huh?
Oh yeah. Definitely.
Go ahead and dry yourself up."

With that Tia left the bathroom and you finished cleaning yourself.
After putting on a fresh set of clothes you stepped out and were greeted by your Gigai laid down before you.
Seeing how Sofia and Tia already went ahead and put their fleshy suits on you followed suit.

Once more you felt the strangely confining sensation of actual flesh and blood.
Tia looked at you and spoke up.
"Okay. That's much better."

"Easy for you to say in that outfit!"
You grumble while you feel Sofia tugging your shirt.

"Father... this feels strange."

"I know Pumpkin.
But mommy says we have to wear these."
Sofia begins pouting.
"Speaking of which..."

Getting the hint Tia flicked the air and the Garganta opened up for her.
Stepping through the portal you all made your way towards the Living Realm.
Upon leaving the precipice world you are greeted by the familiar sight of the Kurosaki Clinic.
And a friendly face.

"Oh Kaizar!
Ms Harribel!"
Tatsuki rushes to you.

"Arisawa! You're here as well?"
You ask her.

"Of course! Why wouldn't-
Wait... you don't know why I'm here?"
She looks at Tia for answers.

"I didn't tell him yet."

"Oh... Now I get it."
She then turns to Sofia.
"Well hello there Sofia!
Do you remember me?"

Your daughter nods.
"Of course."

"Oh you are still so adorable!
Are you excited?"

"No. Not really."

"Oh... well...
Let's head inside shall we?"

Arisawa then goes ahead and knocks on the door.
It doesn't take too long for Masaki to open it and greet all of you.
"Oh you're all here! How wonderful!
Come in! Come in!"
The lady of the house then practically herds all of you into the living room where you are greeted by a rather interesting sight.

In the middle of the living room, sitting at the large couch is Rukia.
Within her hands she's holding a little bundle of joy, a little baby girl who is looking around curiously at the new arrivals.

"Tatsuki!"
Ichigo springs up from his seat, momentarily stopping with the entertainment of his little girl.
"And you guys are here too!"

After Arisawa gives Ichigo a friendly hug she rushes to Rukia in order to examine the little one in her hands.
With Tatsuki out of the way you step forward and extend an arm to the now proud father.
He doesn't hesitate at all and gives you a firm handshake.

"Congratulations boy!
Or... should I say man now?"

"Ha ha! Very funny.
I'll just have you know that she's been around for a bit now so dad beat you to all the horrible dad jokes you could make!"

You raise an eyebrow at that.
"Really? Oh bummer.
But... how long has she been around?"

"A few months now.
We thought it'd be best if she only came in contact with us for a while.
You know... so that she doesn't get too confused by all the strangers around her."

"I see...
Now if you'll excuse me I should congratulate your father too.
Oh and I think my wife has something for you, so don't move too far."

>>1789436

OH BY THE GODS HE'S BRED

THE END IS NIGH THE DESTROYER HAS MANIFESTED

Also Sofia has a new playmate when the little tyke gets older.

>>1789436
So what are the ratios of spiritual being in the kid? It's gotta be swinging towards soul reaper now, I guess.

Also fuck me I'm late.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6LCykRfXL8

After taking a moment to take this whole situation in you went around and congratulated pretty much everyone you came across.
You almost even walked up to Tatsuki you were so caught up in the celebration by the end.
But with the formalities out of the way you quickly called dibs on one of the couches and jumped on it.

Seeing you seated like that Sofia also climbed the furniture and sat on your lap.
Chuckling a bit you ruffle your daughters hair.
"So... your old rattler was given to the baby?
Whose idea was it?"

"Mine.
I no longer need it.
At least this way it can be useful to someone else."

"That's a very mature thing to say Sofia."

"I know."
Then your daughter pauses and keeps staring at the little girl.
"Why is she so small?"
She looks back at you as she asks her question.

"All babies are that small.
Not too long ago you were just like her."

"I was?"

"Yup."
You pause for a moment and see how your daughters eyes are fixated on the little baby.
"Do you want to get a closer look?"

"Uh-huh."

Grabbing Sofia you sit up while carrying her in your arms.
As you walk up the the mother you give her a smile.
"Hey. Congratulations.
You've got quite an adorable little girl there."

Rukia smiles at you.
"Thanks!
It was a rough ride but... in the end I think it was worth it."

Then Sofia speaks up.
"What's her name?"

"Rena. Kurosaki Rena."

As Sofia grows more curious you put her a bit closer to the little baby.
Rena becomes interested in your daughter almost immediately and tries to pull on her blonde hair.
Seeing the baby giggle as she's playing Sofia speaks up.

"This smile.
I will protect this smile!"

A bit taken back by this Rukia reels back a bit.
"O-Oh? Really?
Ha ha ha! Why thank you Sofia!
It's good to know that even if Ichigo ends up being a shitty parent I'll have you to rely on!"

Your daughter nods.
"You can count on me!"

But while this is going on you start thinking about how to pass time while here.

"Hey Sofia.
I'm gonna leave you here for a bit.
Be a good girl and don't cause Rukia too much trouble, okay?"

Sofia nods and then turns to the black haired woman next to her.
"Does she have any story books she likes?
Maybe I can read for her!"

"Oh that would be lovely!"

While they are going at it you are determined to find Isshin in this commotion.
It doesn't take too long to spot him sitting alone in a corner, all melancholic like.
"What's wrong?
Don't like having the spotlight taken from you?"

"Ya know...
With how often that happens lately I thought I'd get used to it.
But it still bugs me all the same."

"Well it just so happens that I know a very good method for easing the pain."

"Oh? Do tell."

"Perhaps you've heard of it.
It's called called booze."

"Heh... I think I got what you mean.
Follow me."
Standing up from his little corner Isshin leads you to the kitchen where he pops open a large bottle of what you can only guess to be sake.
Setting down two wooden boxes on the table he pours both of you a hearty amount of the stuff.
"Here. Drink up!"

You raise your cup for a toast.
"To the old fart who can now be legally called as such because he has a grandkid!"
With that you chug down the rice wine.

"Heh. Smartass...
That coming from the guy who has a grown up grandkid?
Whatever."
Isshin also drinks up his own portion.
As you set your "cup" down you cough a bit.
"Huh? What's wrong?
Are you that much of a lightweight?"

"No. I'm just not used to drinking something that tastes so awful!
Now pour another one! Maybe the numbness will wash away the taste."

"You know... this is premium quality stuff."
He pours once more, this time almost double the amount of the last one.

"Yeah? Well I'm still used to better things."
You raise your cup once more.
"To all the bullshit that has already been dealt to us and to what WILL be dealt.
Because in the end... it's because of moments like this that it's all worth it."

"I'll drink to that."

Sending the second wave down the hatch you cough harder now.
"Nope... still bad.
Christ I could NEVER get used to this."
You shake your head as the flavor of the stuff hits you.

"I also have vodka if that's more your thing."

You shake your head.
"No thanks.
Unless you want to trigger my PTSD, in which case hit me with it."

"Wow... you fight and kill people all the time.
But it's alcohol that triggers you?"

>>1789605
Two words Isshin.
Russia. Winter.

>>1789605
Have you ever been in Russian winter Isshin? I can show you true horrors.

"If you'd march through Russia in the fucking winter with barely any supplies and Vodka giving you some sort of release from the horrors, while in fact it just makes things worse as depression sets in... you'd know why I can't stand that stuff.
...
By the way.
Did you know that not even the slavs like it?
Seriously, they don't drink it because it's good but because it's cheap and easy to produce.
Some of the stuff tastes so bad that they developed special ways to drink!
They had this... strange slimy or oily cabbage or something like that.
It was the most disgusting thing you've ever seen but eat just a bit and you can drink like there is no tomorrow!
Because it kills your taste buds and soaks up most of the alcohol."

After a few more rounds of this your mood definitely got a bit merrier.
"So here I am reliving all the joys that I felt when my little girls were born but now it's not me who has to work his ass off!
It's great! All the benefits, none of the drawbacks!
And oh I'm gonna spoil her so badly! About time I taught my stupid son a lesson he'll NEVER forget!"

"Yeah I hear ya!"

But as you are about to go on you hear the door bell ringing.
Shortly after it Masaki calls out from the living room.
"Honey! Could you get that?"

You look at Isshin in confusion.
"Lemme guess. The Quincies are late to the party again?"

"Nope!
Couldn't reach 'em...
Ryuken must be off doin' some doctor stuff.
And his son... Fuck I don't know.
But they ain't comin'.
Must be Byakuya boy.
Would you do me a favor and open the door for me?
Not feelin' too confident about walking right now."

"Sure. Why not?"
You say as you stand up with a bit of a wobble to your steps.

Slowly but surely you make your way to the front door and open it wide.
The look of surprise on Kuchikis face is barely detectable but it's there.
He probably felt the presence of your family members so he already prepared himself.
What's more surprising than that is the fact that he's not wearing those strange hair pieces of his.

"Well look who's here?"
You reach out and pat him on the shoulder while wearing the widest, dumbest grin you can produce.
"Come on in! The others are waiting for you!"
Practically dragging Byakuya through the door you help him in.
"Well... I'm certain there is at least someone who is...
Whatever.
This way."

"Hmmm...
Thank you, but I'll find my way there myself."

"Nah nah nah nah!
Don't be like that! Come on!"

As Byakuya slowly enters the living room suddenly all eyes are fixated on him.
"Nii-sama!"
Rukia cries out to her brother.

"Greetings everyone.
Thank you for inviting me over."

"Oh nonsense Kuchiki-san!"
Masaki speaks up.
"You are family now so of course we'll invite you!"

"Thank you. You're too kind."

As Byakuya makes his way to the couch where his sister is he sits down on next to her.
But before he could do anything your daughter jumps up from her seat and walks up to him.
"Who are you? What's your name?"

The Kuchiki boy seems to be quite shocked by this.
"A-Are you-"

"I'm Sofia."

"Oh... Of course.
My apologies. I didn't recognize you at first.
After all it's been a while since I last met you."

"Huh?
Do you know me?"

"I do.
But you were very small back then.
This reminds me...
Please extend your hand."

Standing on edge a bit you clutch your fist behind your back and ready yourself to pounce on him if he tries ANYTHING.
But luckily for him he has no such intentions.
Instead he opens up the large shopping bag he brought with himself and retrieves a small package from it.
Placing it in Sofias hand he speaks up.

"Please open it.
I hope it will be to your liking."

Sofia carefully unfolds the package, revealing in it a rather odd looking cookie.
It's not ugly per se, but it certainly looks fucking weird.
"Whoah!"
Sofia gasps.
"I love it!"

"Really?
Well I'm honored.
He's called the Wakame Ambassador and I personally baked these cookies of him.
Please, enjoy it. I have plenty more."

Your daughters reaction doesn't shock you. Her odd taste has always been known to you.
If anything you expected her to say that. But boy do you wish she didn't.

"Oh Nii-sama!
Your art has only grown more magnificent over the years!"
Rukia practically salivates over her brothers creation while Sofia munches on her cookie.

"Rukia, please... don't encourage him."
You speak to her.

But your warnings are mostly ignored as Byakuya turns to his sister.
"You seem to be well. I'm happy you've found your home here Rukia.
Now... would you mind doing the introductions?"

"Oh where are my manners?
This is Rena."
Rukia raises her little girl and Byakuya actually takes her from her mother.

"I see.
Kuchiki Rena.
What a fine name. I just know she'll grow up to be a fine noble woman."

"You mean Kurosaki...."
This time Ichigo is the one that grumbles.

"I know what I said."

Truth be told, while he's still an insufferable and snobby prick he does have a softer side it seems.
And without those odd hair pieces and his traditional clothing he'd almost pass as just an average person.
With a sigh you turn around in order to get back to the kitchen where Isshin and a fresh round are already waiting for you.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGj9roo6sAQ

However just as you step through the doorway you start sensing something.
You, alongside everyone in the entire house, jerk up your head in the direction of the unfamiliar spiritual pressure that came out of nowhere.
Seeing Masakis panicked expression worries you a bit.
As she opens up her mouth in order to begin speaking all you hear is "Yu" before you dash up the stairs and towards the girls rooms.

Kicking open the door you barge in and see some unknown arrancar who got Yuzu in a choke hold.
"Ah... Kaizar Soize."
He speaks up.
"Kukuku. I see now how foolish my doubts were.
You ARE here.
How amusing! Now-"

"STOP!"
You command the arrancar with as much power behind your words as you can muster.
"You come in here... take a human hostage... and then you think you can SPEAK?!
No... oh no."
Your right arm begins to twitch as your spirit arm is attempting to wriggle free of its confinement.
"All you get to do... is DIE!"

With your hand popping free and aimed at the arrancar he begins to panic.
He's not attempting to speak anymore nor is he trying to threaten you with the girls life.
Right now all he wants to do is finding a way to escape.

Which was exactly the moment Yuzu was waiting for.
Now that her captors attention was elsewhere she could make her move.
Activating Blut Vene she maximized her defenses head butted the arrancars jaw with the back of her head.
With the hollows nose broken his grip loosens just enough to give the girl some wiggle room.

Yuzu raises her right hand and conjures a small, hand sized bow in it.
Raising the weapon she unloads a few shots into the arm by which she's restrained.
The arrancar screams his pain and accidentally lets go of Yuzu.
Quickly ducking down and rolling away Yuzu gets out of the way. Smart girl.

Not wasting a moment you fire a single Lágrima and it tears the arrancars head clean off.
With his lifeless body falling to the ground you walk up to Yuzu and help her up.
"Are you alright?"

"Y-Yeah... I came up for Renas blanket and then... he came out of nowhere and grabbed me.
But he didn't hurt me."

"That's good to hear.
And... Good job."

"T-Thanks."

Just as Yuzu thanks you the entire rest of the family rushes upstairs, demanding some answers.
"WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON?!"
Isshin asks but you largely ignore him and walk up to the corpse in the room.
"Yuzu! Are you alright?!"

"Yes dad! Don't worry."

"Hey Kaizar! What are you doing?!"
Isshin now turns to you.

"Yuzu said she was not injured.
But... I smelled blood when I stepped in the room."
You crouch down and tear apart the arrancars clothing.
"Meaning... he was injured before I killed him."

And with the hollows bare skin exposed, your suspicion is confirmed.
On the arrancars body you see a message carved into his flesh.

"Kaizar Soize! This is a declaration of war.
Prepare to be exterminated!"

The sender of the message was even kind enough to sign it.
It reads: Gott

You frown at that and raise your palm into the air.
Purple energy begins to radiate from it and you slam your fist into his chest.
In a flash of otherworldly radiation and an orchestra of strange, buzzing sounds you complete the ritual and remove your hand.

The arrancar, with his head perfectly reformed, looks at you with something in his eyes you can't even describe.
"YOU! Wha-? HOW?! WHAT THE FUCK?!"

"You messed with the wrong person you mother fucker!
Now... I recommend you start talking!
And maybe I'll let you die afterwards!"

>>1789895
Yup.
Wasn't arguing that.

And that's where I'm going to end this thread as I'm running on fumes already.

Within your grasp is an arrancar.
He's screaming, squirming and trying desperately to somehow by some means get the hell away from you.
You even had to restrain one of his arms because at one point he started clawing at his own eyes, throat or other vital areas in order to kill himself.

In response to his constant efforts to break free you gripped his forearms and squeezed them so hard that his bones and muscles around that area turned into a fine paste, held together only by strands of skin.
Even more grizzly was the fact that the pressure of his blood within his palms increased so much that it shot out in jet like streams from his finger tips.

Still screaming his throat out you give him a cold stare and he stops everything.
"One more move and I'll make you regret you were not stillborn!"

But your threat doesn't seem to be working.
He is panicking too much.
"Wha- WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU?!"

Slamming him on the ground you then step on his legs, breaking them as well.
"The guy who made death his bitch."

The Kurosakis whom up until now were more concerned about Yuzus health than the intruder now look at you expectantly.
In resoinse to this you turn around to look at them.

Deciding to spare the humans from having to witness this mans torture and because you wouldn't trust what he has to say anyway you decided to do things... differently this time.
Turning back at the arrancar you grab his head in a way that your thumb touches his forehead and begin focusing.
A familiar purple glow begins to appear around you as the Hogyoku begins to respond to your command.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eo6qe9oMQHA

Slowly you start feeling his thoughts.
The copious amounts of fear make it hard to discern any coherent things in there.
But soon enough you can feel them.

"Wha-What is he doing?!"
"ARGH! THE PAIN! WHAT IS THIS PAIN?!"
"No! NONONO! GET OUT! GET OUT!"

As things become clearer and clearer you eventually begin feeling more.
Not thoughts but more like feelings, emotions. Eventually you go further and start seeing your own image with his eyes.
And then you make the one final push.

"Suffer me now!"

You find yourself lost in time.
Going back several years before the complete liberation of Vanaheim and just after the Rebellion of the loyalist hollows.
After their defeat they were given a choice, stay and obey or leave.
He was amongst those that left.

You could see with his eyes as he looked back at the fading city, his heart filled with hatred.
But as they wandered the desert in their exile they found something. Or more accurately... someone found them.
Several figures clad in white outfits stopped them.
They had a simple offer for the renegades.

"If you want to have your revenge so badly... bend the knee to God.
Embrace his light and he shall take you into his fold!
With him at your side and with his gifts... you can have your justice!"

They were not reluctant when they accepted.
Like dogs without a leader they sought a new "alpha" to follow.
Truly, they were made to be subservient to others.

Once they bent the knee they were taken somewhere you haven't seen before.
Using shadows as a means of traversing the planes they entered a pristine white realm where they were taken to a throne room.
A figure sat there. Imposing and unmoving, he barely even looked at the hollows.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAd9n1UkX6s

"I understand you seek vengeance."

The soldiers surrounding them looked at the hollows expectantly.
"Y-Yes!"

"Do you want the power needed for said revenge?"

"Yes!"

"Will you serve me 'till the last of your days?
Will you spill every lasst drop of your blood for me and obey all my commands without hesitation?"

"YES!"

"Then stand up... Asguiaro Ebernand Luders Friegen!"
The figure then slashes his own wrist open with his own nails and pours his blood into two cups.
"Come and relinquish your sinful, hollow nature.
Partake of my blood and become my children!"

Without a word the two hollows walked up to him and drank every last drop of the mans blood.

"Good.
Now... kneel before God.
The Father of All Quincy!"

You quickly snap back into reality upon hearing those words.
But not before one last, haunting image.

The others in the room look at you with a bit of a shocked expression.
"H-Hey... what just happened?"
Isshin asks you.

Not answering you let go of Eberns head and he lurches forward while drooling uncontrollably.
He clearly lost consciousness after you read his mind.
"Thank you Hogyoku."
You mutter to yourself quietly.

"I... thought it'd be better if you simply witnessed it for yourself."

You turn back and look at the humans.
"I figured out who this man is."

"Well... he's an arrancar, right?"

You shake your head and reach for his hand.
Rolling back the sleeve of his jacket.
Raising what fell out of it you hear more than a few audible gasps from the Kurosakis and even some of the others.

A cross dangles down from the hollows hand.

>"There is one more... I'll take care of him."
>Clear up this mess you've caused.

"There is one more..."
You speak as you crawl out of your meaty containment unit.
Once free you crack your knuckles and release your sword.
"Mend and Maim..."

With your power unleashed you flick your wrist in the direction of Ebern and cover him in slime as well as most of the room.
Your powers act quickly and heal most of the Arrancars injury while at the same time cleaning up the blood that splattered all over the room.
Masaki jokingly tries to diffuse the tense situation.

"You know it's a shame you are so occupied with fighting people all the time.
You'd be a wonderful house cleaner!"

Appreciating her joke you look back.
"Well... maybe once my powers aren't needed I'll start selling cleaning solutions instead!
..."
You turn back to the window.
"I promise I won't cause such a mess this time.
And... do as you wish with that scumbag."

"Oh don't you worry about that!
We will."

As you climb out of the building through the window you immediately begin expanding your senses in order to find the other man.
Sadly you suspect that the location within Eberns memories won't lead you too far as they can freely move around within that "shadow dimension" of theirs.

And as you suspected finding him won't be that easy as no amount of spiritual energy leaks through that parallel space.
But at the same time... he needs to momentarily pop over to your side in order to observe things.
So closing your eyes you begin focusing more intensely.
It was thanks to this that you found something.

Trace amounts of reishi scattered all over the place, signaling the moments when he activated the Shadow.
Trying to find which ones are older than the others is quite tricky since there is so little energy there in the first place.
So rather than doing that you just focus on that one moment when he'll show up again.

"There!"
You snap to the right as you feel a new signal.
Using Sonído several times in quick succession propels you so fast to him that you breach the sound barrier several times on the way there.

Looking at your target shadow you see the top half of the arrancars head jouting out of it.
His eyes widen as he sees you approach he attempts to fall back into the Schatten Bereich.
But just as the shadow portal begins to close you reach after him and grab the bastard by his hair.
Feeling the tightening portal around your arm you fear it's going to cut off your arm.

Grunting in pain you begin releasing your spiritual pressure and it begins to push the portals mouth away from you.
Though it's not wide enough to fit a person you pull on the arrancars hair and use him to break the gateway open from the inside.
With him on your side you toss him at the ground.

"NOT GOING ANYWHERE?!"
You shout at him.

File: Spoiler Image (310 KB, 1200x795)

Struggling to stand up Luders reaches for his head and finds some blood dripping from where you tore a couple strands of his hair out.
Wincing in pain he looks at you.

"Y-You... Damn monster!"

Cracking your knuckles you look at him.
"You don't even know half of it!
So... are you going to be like your friend and make this more painful by resisiting?
Or will you be smart and submit?"

"Tch...
You think we'll surrender to you?!
If only you'd know half of our story you'd-"

"I actually know all of it.
Your friend sang pretty nicely.
Too bad about the screams though... my ears are still ringing."

"...
You lie!"

You spread your arms.
"Am I?
Am I, really?"

Furious with you Friegen unbuttons his sleeve and reveals his Quincy cross.
It begins to glow as he pours his energy into it and to your surprise he manifests a howitzer and aims it straight at you.
"DIE!"

He fires his contraption and the heavy artillery shell hits you square in the chest.
You hunch forward as the projectile crashes into you but you stand your ground.
It wasn't even strong enough to move you back an inch.
And his eyes go wide at this.

"I-Impossible!"

"Scorch... Mera!"
You draw your knife and point it at the man.

A powerful stream of flame shoots out from the tip of your knife.
With so much power poured into it the attack travels at a frightening speed, hitting the arrancar before he even has a chance to react to it.
From the roaring fire you can barely even hear his screams.

At first it consumes his weapon, meltin its barrel shut and then liquefying the whole thing as the reishi comprising it melts.
Then it's his turn. The smell of burnt hair and skin hits your nostrils, bringing back some unpleasant memories from the war.
His skin is practically blasted off of his body with how intense your flames were.
Following that it was his muscles and organs that got reduced to charcoal.
The only thing that was left of him was his blackened, melted skeleton laying on the ground.
Being hit by the slightest breeze caused his remains to turn to dust and fly off with the wind.

Satisfied with your result you twirl Mera between your fingers and holster her.
"W-Wow...
I didn't realize training down there would do this much."

"Are you surprised by your change or mine?"

"Both.
I don't think you are the only one that got affected down there."

"Hmph...
That and I'm getting more used to you."
Turning around on your heels you head back to the Kurosaki clinic.
"Let's go back. Before people start worrying."

Getting back you jump up in order to climb back through the same window where you left.
After entering you pick back up your Gigai and put it on once again.
What you found missing from the room however was Ebern and the rest of the people.

Going down you entered the actual clinic and see them surrounding the bound Arrancar.
His limbs still appear to be useless but his less grievous wounds have been mended by your power and the Kurosakis.
But still they tied him down to one of the chairs in the clinic and now they are wondering what to do with him.

"Ah Dear...
You're back.
What was that explosion?"

"The other guy.
I didn't leave much."

Isshin nods at this.
"I see...
Still it would've been nice if you left him alive..
Maybe we could've asked some stuff from him."

"No need."
You respond.
"I already got everything from this guy."

"Really?
Then please... enlighten us a bit."

"Nothing out of the ordinary...
Quincy jackasses with delusions of grandeur want to fuck shit up."
You turn to Isshins wife.
"No offense Masaki."

"None taken.
Honestly, it does seem to be the rule rather than the exception..."

"But in any case.
These two were Arrancars who somehow got roped into this after we exiled them from home."

"Exiled? Why?"

"They liked Aizen.
I didn't. You can see the problem.
But yes, the quincy apparently observed all of us, not just Hueco Mundo.
And they jumped at the chance of acquiring a few hollow slaves."

"But... you said they are Quincy, not hollows."

"Not anymore.
They... did something.
Some sort of ritual where they partook of the Quincy Kings blood."

Hearing this Masakis eyes go wide and she goes pale.
As she loses her balance and begins to fall Isshin quickly grabs her.
"HONEY!
Are you alright?"

Trying her best not to faint Masaki looks at her husband.
"I... I'm fine.
It's just... that name.
Oh God. This isn't good!"

"Why honey?! What's the deal with this King?"

You clear your throat to get Isshins attention.
"It's an old legend about the progenitor of the Quincy as a whole.
Apparently it speaks of his rebirth and how he'll conquer the world.
The Uryu boy was kind enough to tell me this."

"H-He did?"
Masaki asks you surprised.
"I'm... actually amazed.
So you know of it.
But...
There is one thing you do not know of."
You raise an eyebrow at that as Masaki frees herself of her husbands hold and sits down.
"This... father of all quincy.
It's true that we come from him. And that we all return to him if the legend is to be believed.
But he has... something else. A power of terrible strength that he used a few years ago..."

Masaki pauses and takes a deep breath.
"The Auswählen."

"Holy Selection?"

She nods.
"It's... how he managed to be reborn...
He... consumed the essence of all impure quincy, no matter where they were.
That included Quincy that were tainted by hollows.
Uryu-"
Masakis voice gives out.
"Uryus mother, Katagiri, lost her life due to this technique.
Her life force was stolen from her."
You clench your fist at this and Masaki notices your anger.
"Because of that... I fear Ryuken and Uryu are not simply unavailable.
They might be in grave danger!"

You close your eyes and take a deep breath.
"I understand.
Thank you for telling me this Masaki.
It looks like the situation is worse than I thought..."
Turning to face Isshin you speak to him.
"Do you have some way to contact Urahara and Yoruichi?"

"Erm... Yeah. I do."

"Good.
Then please inform them that I'll be there shortly."
You turn and look at Ebern.
"And tell him I'm bringing a gift."

Tia then takes a step closer to you.
"I'm coming with you."

Looking at Sofia, then back at Tia you let out a sigh.
"Fine.
Sofia, you should stay here for a while.
Keep the nice humans safe, okay?"

She nods.

"And Tia!
Give Yata a call..."

It took you relatively little time to get to the Urahara shop.
And while you were carrying Eberns unconscious body Tia was busy dialing up Yata and informing him about the current situation.
Now as you are about to land right before the building and talk to Yata Tia speaks her mind.

"I can't believe this has happened again.
Such a somber moment... ruined."

"Do not lose focus Tia.
If we can't prevent these things we must focus on making sure nobody gets hurt."

"You know what?
You're right."
She takes out her phone and starts typing a message.
"I'll ask the girls to lend a hand.
I won't let anyone hurt that child.
Or the humans."

Smiling at this you land next to Yata and he looks at you while squinting heavily as the suns rays irritate his eyes.
"Okay... so why did you drag me out of my lab and in front of a candy shop?
...
Huh? Who's that?"

"A Quincy..."

Yata pauses for a moment.
"Ooookay now I get it.
Let's get inside then."

Taking the lead you enter the courtyard first.
You can see Urahara standing in the doorway with his typical smug smile.
"What took you so long?"

You tug at the unconscious arrancar on your shoulder.
"Issues with logistics...
And a few necessary phone calls also delayed us."

"Oooooh! I love presents!
Please, this way!"
As you enter Tia and Yata follow you inside.
"My lady!
Aaaand... who are you?"

But Yata doesn't even bother to respond to that and instead takes a few hearty chugs from his flask in preparations for what's about to come.
Urahara just shrugs and closes the door after he himself enters.

Sitting around the small, round table you slam Ebern down onto the ground before speaking up.
"Tessai!
Coffee. And a lot of it!"

"Y-Yes sir!"
He sweats nervously.

Meanwhile Urahara entwines his fingers and speaks up.
"So... what's so urgent?"

Honestly, Hat and Clogs can get beefy to call the head commander for us.

>>1793114
>Dissecting!
>Quincies!
>Dissecting quincies!

>>1793127
He does.
He was there.

He immediately opened a senkaimon and returned

>>1793174
Is... a noble clan about to show the full fire power of its shinies?

>>1793114
>Urahara and Yata in the same room

Terror

>I need to contact Soul Society or more accurately the Captain Commander IMMEDIATELY
Get Byakuya on that as well

>I have this guy here that needs dissecting. The two of you need to get on that.

Let's go gather up everyone from both Vanaheim and Soul Society, as well as maybe the Vizards and such, and have ourselves a good old fashioned Balkan war crime, aye?

Why wait for them to invade, after all? It just risks us causing a bunch of collateral damage in our own countries while we get our genocide on.

>>1793181
The Kuchiki clan isn't that powerful anymore.
Byakuya is the head and the strongest member of the clan.

All others are either servants or they are so old they can't do anything.

No, he went to get his squad ready and to make a report

>>1793114
>I have this guy here that needs dissecting. The two of you need to get on that.
>>I need to contact Soul Society or more accurately the Captain Commander IMMEDIATELY

>>1793196
Huh, Whelp once more I've become disappointed in the Kuchiki clan.

>>1793196
At least his testimony will probably sway the Head Captain.

>>1793196
Sounds like the kuchiki clan is going to be the second clan to fall from grace. I doubt byakuya is going to marry someone again even for politics.

>>1793200
Actually, Ginrei was the last OG member.
But he decided to spare Byakuya boy from knowing the true-true about the Soul King so he doesn't have to bear the burden of that sin.

And the state of the clan is so shit because Byakuyas wife (aka Rukias sister is ded)

Also
>writing

>>1793206
True.
But that's because he was truly in love when he got married.
In canon he even stated that marrying the woman he loved was the first and last time he broke the rules and disappointed everyone.

He was so ashamed of that act that he swore to always follow the rules after that point.
Which is why despite not wanting to he brought back Rukia for her execution

"Urahara.
I've got a job for you.
I have this arrancar right here. He acquired quincy powers somehow.
Which is why I want you to dissect him with my colleague here."

Urahara looks at Yata with a condescending look on his face.
"Oh... really?
Well... I've got nothing better to do.
And I must say this does fascinate me. Tell me, where did you acquire such a... fine specimen."

"They attacked the Kurosakis. I didn't bring the other guy because there was nothing left to analyze.
But if you read the message they carved into this guys chest you'll see that we have a problem...
Which is why I'm here.
In exchange for this test subject I want a favor in turn."

"Of course you do.
Well if it's a fair trade then I'm fine with it.
What is it you want? Come on, name it!"

"I want to make a call to Soul Society.
And to the Captain Commander at that."

Urahara sucks some air in through his teeth.
"Aaaaah... that's not gonna work.
You see, I'm not on what you might call "good terms" with Soul Society.
In fact I'm still a convict, an exile."

"Quit the bullshit Urahara.
You supply the reapers with equipment while they are out on the field.
I'm sure you got more than a few favors with your little black market operation.
Call them in!
You know as well as I that if I'm right and the Quincies are coming then we are in deep shit!"

"And... just how do you know that they are coming?
Or that they are such a threat?
It's perfectly plausible that these are just the last few remnants of a dying and desperate clan..."

"Because Masaki and Uryu shared some secrets with me.
And because I tore the information right out of this guys skull!"

*sigh*
"Very well...
I suppose I can make contact with him.
But I can't guarantee anything.
Old Man Yamamoto isn't exactly known for his forgiveness but I'll try."

With that Urahara stood up just as Tessai brought some coffee for all of you.
After a few minutes he came back with a certain spring to his step.
"Alright! It's all yours Kaizar!"
Then he turned to Yata.
"Okay, You!
Follow me! And please, do try not to get in my way."

As Urahara exited the room Yata turned to you in disgust.
"Would it be a problem if I vivisected him as well?"

"For now, yes."

"Ugh.... fine."

>>1793297
>>1793297
>As Urahara exited the room Yata turned to you in disgust.
"Would it be a problem if I vivisected him as well?"

Based Yata

>>1793325
Plus side.
We have eyes in the room for to spy on what passes for Shinigami science.
Maybe Yata could crib notes and improve it.

>>1793297
The only way this could get crazier is if that masked fucker in SS got in to 'help' with the examination.

Speaking of scientist assholes what happened to that pheonix fucker that was trying to screw with Yata?

Once Urahara was out of the picture and you quickly gulped the last few mouthfuls of coffee Tessai lead you to the room where the communication device was located.
It was a bizarre, fleshy thing that appeared to be a tumor growing out one of the walls.
But at least the screen was wide enough to be easy on the eye.

Taking a deep breath you step forward and greet the man on the screen.
"Captain Commander Yamamoto."

"Kaizar Soize...
I must admit I was a bit surprised when I heard that I got an urgent call.
But not nearly as much as when I heard from Kisuke Urahara that You wished to speak with me.
Well? What is the meaning of this?"

"I'm afraid I bear grave news Commander...
Are you familiar with the quincy?"

He opens his eyes slightly more than he used to.
"We wiped them out a thousand years ago..."

"Well you didn't do a very good job.
Because they just sent an... asssassin or messenger or whatever he was to the Kurosaki residence.
They even took a human hostage.
Luckily they've been dealt with before anyone got injured."

"Hmph...
I assume you have proof to back up these.... rather wild claims of yours."

You reach into your pocket and retrieve the pendant of the quincy you acquired.
"I tore this from the hands of the arrancar attacker.
He had a comrade who actually got to use it before I murdered him."

The commander doesn't respond for a few seconds.
If you didn't know better you'd say he's... scared.
"So you say an arrancar was capable of using a Quincys weapon?
This is...
You do realize what you're saying, right?
If this is true then that'd mean-"

"Commander...
The man to whom this belonged had a message carved into his chest.
It was a declaration of war. No... a threat of extermination.
Signed by someone who calls himself God. Or more correctly the Father of the Quincy."

You see the commander tightening his hold on his staff hard enough that his veins become visible on his hands.
Though his demeanor didn't change much you feel that something's off with him.
"I... see.
Thank you for telling me this Kaizar Soize.
If this is true then Soul Society owes you a great deal once more.
Now if you'll excuse me-"

But as he speaks you notice movements behind the Captain Commander.
At first you assumed them to be his men but once their uniforms became apparent you shouted at him, cutting off his sentence.
"WATCH OUT!"

The Captain Commander quickly turns around and his cane quickly dissolves, revealing his Zanpakuto.
Placing his hands on the hilt he looks at the men wearing the white quincy uniforms with protective, face concealing visors.
"Not another step!"
He shouts at them.

"Who are you?!
And how did you get in here?!"
The Commander demands answers from the Quincy.

"Lower your weapon Yamamoto Genryusai.
We did not come to fight... yet."
One of the masked men speaks up.
"We are but messengers sent by his Majesty."

"Hmph... that still doesn't answer how you got in here!"

"My apologies but we can not reveal that.
But I assure you we didn't hurt anyone on our way there.
We just came to deliver the message."

"Very well... Speak."

"His Majesty, the Father of all Quincy and rightful God of all realms Yhwach hereby declares war against You, the Soul King and the entirety of the Soul Society.
As of now we are enemies.
There will be no surrender, no mercy and no room for negotiations.
The war ends when you all lay on the ground in a pool of your own bloods.
But know that if you bend the knee before His Majesty by his generosity your lives may be spared!"

Commander Yamamoto looks at the shrouded figures.
Without showing any emotion and remaining alert he speaks up.
"Is that all?"

"Yes. That is indeed all."

"Very well.
Since you caused no harm to my subordinates I'll allow you to leave with your lives.
But should we cross paths again I won't hesitate to kill you on sight!"

"Understood.
Thank you for your kindness.
Goodbye."

And with that the shadows of the figures begin to rise up from the ground and they disappear step through them, into their shadow dimension.
Yamamoto then turns around to face you once more.

"Well... it appears you were saying the truth Kaizar Soize."

"I'm sorry it has come to this."

"No... don't be.
This... was bound to happen.
It appears the King still lives."

"I assure you I-"
But before you can go on you hear a strange buzzing coming from your pocket.
Quickly reaching for your denreishiki you pick it up.
"Hello?"

"KAIZAR!
This is Alistair!
You won't fuckin' believe this but we're under attack!"

"WHAT?!"

"Some wankers in white clothes showed up out of nowhere!
They are shooting the shit out of the Southern Wall as we speak!"

You quickly and angrily shut off your communication device.
The Commander notices your frustration and speaks up.
"I suspect those weren't good news..."

>I'm sorry but I must leave, my people need me!
