I do not own any of characters in this story all rights go to Tite Kubo, Microsoft/Bungie/343 Studios and Games Workshop.
Ok this is a more in depth description of what my story will be about and a little history of what occurred before the main time frame.
First of all it is a Multi-crossover fic consisting of Bleach, Halo and Warhammer 40k
It is set in a combined Warhammer 40k/Halo universe twice the size of the Milky Way half of which is cut off by vast warp storms (yup the Halo part), and the warhammer races/Halo races have yet to meet.
The Warhammer universe will all be mostly canon, kind of, the beginning of the Eldar will be different from canon and also they way they act around the Shinigami will be different than how they act around another race (e.g. they won't think of them as lower than the Eldar, they're equals and have a close bonds, both professional and intimate)
Now the Halo universe is where it all changes, The Shinigami (Arrancar also but will be classed as shinigami for the purpose of this fic) from ''Bleach'' are a part of the Halo races side of the galaxy and they will be using Forerunner and Covenant technology, they will also so be the creators of said technology.
(note: only high ranking Shinigami will be as powerful as canon, e.g. Captain Commander, Captains, Lieutenants 3rd through 5th seats and plot characters such as Ichigo, Chad, Orihime and so on and only go to battle when facing powerful enemies such as Titans, powerful psykers, Gods e.g. C'tan or when a Tyranid fleet decides to devour a world of there's. All other none seated Shinigami that aren't part of the Onmitsukido, will be below the Space Marines in terms of combat prowess but way above any Imperial Guardsman)(For the purpose of this fic the Captain Commander will be an ''Admiral Commander, the Captains will be Admirals)
The Shinigami are the Eldar's lost kin, they're appearance is slightly different from cannon, they're taller standing at just below 7ft, have pointed ears that point sideways not upwards like the Eldar and most if not all Shinigami have in the words of Yumichika ''Beautiful'' facial features.
There is no UNSC, Forerunner (Shinigami will be taking there place, but won't go extinct) or Flood.
The Precursors and The Old Ones are the same beings, but will be keeping the name ''The Precursors''
History
War... no, not war, total and utter slaughter, that is what the beings known as The Precursors are facing, the slaughter of there own, by the hands of ancient God like beings with immense power and a new found ravenous hunger for souls, These beings are called The C'tan... but they're not alone in their slaughter, their worshippers... their slaves... join them, relishing in the fact they are to be the end of the Precursors, the beings they have hated for a millennia, a hatred forged through jealousy and envy of there long lives and vastly superior technology, these beings that were once known as the Necrontyr, now reborn into the army of living metal The Necrons.
As the war rages, Precursor forces are stretched thin, losing lives, fleets and worlds by the second, they must find salvation, but in what? more advance weaponry? bio-weapons? maybe a larger fleet... No, they must find allies... and if the can't find them, they will create them.
Project Uplift: Approved. The search began to find a suitable species, one in which they can place their hope. After countless years of searching, star system, after star system and yielding no results, they had all but given up, Until hope arrived, in the form of an uncharted system, on a garden world of untold beauty, a being of vast potential is uplifted and to their surprise, genetically split in to two sibling species, two species that share a bond so strong that not even the Precursors can begin to understand it's magnitude.
The first are the Eldar, beings of such beauty, sharp almost avian like features, tall, just under 7ft, pointed vertical ears, taut and lean muscular body and such finesse in there movements, they leave you stricken with awe and envy, natural mastery of the warp and a high presence in the warp eventually giving birth to the ''Eldar Gods'', that all Eldar instinctual had knowledge of from birth, they were happy to give the Precursors knowledge of the most prominent of these Gods:
Asuryan - also known as the Phoenix King, is the chief as well as the eldest of all the Eldar Gods. His first brother is the War God, Kaela Mensha Khaine. He is known as the father of the gods and the ancestor of all living things.
Kaela Mensha Khaine - normally abbreviated to Khaine, is associated with murder, violence, destruction and war.
Kurnous - the Hunter, is the husband of Isha , with Lileath their daughter but also they see the Eldar race as their children too due to their deep connection to them.
Isha - the ''mother'' of the Eldar, associated with healing, fertility and the harvest, she is the epitome of Eldar beauty, long cascading golden hair that reached her lower thighs, tall and a more curvy figure, calm and kind features, with piercing ice blue eyes, always dressed in the finest clothes, modest and elegant.
Lileath - the Maiden, is a powerful Goddess of dreams and fortune. She is the daughter of Isha and Kurnous,and is said to be just as beautiful as her mother.
Cegorach - the Great Harlequin, the Great Fool, the First Fool, the Laughing God. He is a trickster god known to be mocking, sinister, vindictive, and enigmatic.
Back to the Eldar. The Eldar have a high potential for psychic abilities and extremely long lives, natural mastery of wraithbone construction and webway usage, fast and quiet on their feet, intelligence nearly equal to the Precursors, telepathic capability, ability to predict the future with good accuracy, strategical geniuses, this is just what the Precursors needed to fight the C'tan and there deathless army, granted not all can use every ability but still highly effective.
First Born, Female, name: Aemtyra Meslone. Second Born, Male, name: Tanvel Oronar.
The next were the Shinigami, almost identical to there siblings, the main difference being there ears pointed horizontally, there features held a more masculine look, but still held beauty that could rival any Eldar, just as tall, if not taller than their brothers and sisters, taut and more muscular bodies, that seemed to strain with power, they're physically stronger than there siblings and... when each was born a few seconds later blue particles would split from their body to form a sword, each sword varying in shape and size, each new born would cry and moan when the blades were taken away... this left the Precursors confused and intrigued. But they decided to unravel that enigma another time.
As they grew their natural abilities began to show and to say the Precursors were happy would have been an understatement, intelligence equal to the Precursors, extremely long lives like their siblings, undocumented spiritual power and extremely high resistance to the warp, ability to use spells (Kidō) natural mastery of the swords, their swords or Zanpakuto as they call them have sentience and abilities unique to each Shinigami and the more powerful Shinigami have the ability to walk on air! and use speed technique called ''Shunpo'' that makes the user move at untraceable speeds.
All Shinigami have been seen praying, this made the Precursors curious, to have a deity/deities, when the species has no presence in the warp was... new, to say the least, when they were asked who they were praying to, they all responded with the same ''Kami-Sama Reiō-Sama'' The Precursors tried to gain some insight to these new deities, to see if they would be helpful during the War in Heaven, but the Shinigami were very reluctant to speak about their Gods and how they knew of them from birth, to another race other than the Eldar, who had also denied to speak about the Shinigami deities, as they're didn't want to sully their siblings trust of the Eldar. So the only information they got is that they reside in a dimension that is separate from both the physical universe and the warp, called the ''Soul Society'' Ruled by the following deities:
Reiō-Sama - Known as the Soul King or Kami-Sama, he is the leader of the Shinigami deities and overall guardian of Shinigami souls, due to when a Shinigami dies their soul transcends the physical plane to join Kami-Sama, until they're reborn.
Yhwach - The son of Reiō, is the leader of the Soul kings army known as the ''Quincy'' that defend the realm.
Mimihagi - The all knowing eye and the right hand of Kami-Sama. Tasked with observing the Shinigami and reporting any changes in Shinigami stability to the Soul King (e.g. if the Shinigami are heading for a disaster, he will informs Reiō, who then will attempt to steer them back to stability.)
Barragan - The Great Reaper, also known as the Hollow King due to his unquenchable hunger for souls. He is responsible for gathering Shinigami souls along with his Lesser Reapers and judging them, to see if they're worthy of joining Kami-Sama or not and if they're not ... he consumes them.
It is unknown if they are the only Gods or not and if Shinigami deities are powerful, as the Shinigami refuse to speak further on it.
First Born, Male, name: Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto. Second Born, Female, name: Kimiko Shihōin.
Eldar and Shinigami have shown signs of having a deep spiritual connection with each other, as they've been seen meditating in front of one another, both hands held in each others. When questioned about what they were doing, they state they're exploring each others inner world.
Both species capable of using each other to reproduce, 50/50 chance of offspring being either Eldar or Shinigami, regardless of which species carries the child, through this Eldar and Shinigami bonds quickly grow even stronger as intimate relations between them increase, unfortunately no cross-breeds are found, child is always pure to one species, meaning no combination of the species.
Project Uplift: Complete. All Precursor, Eldar and Shinigami efforts are to be directed toward establishing the Shinigami and Eldar home worlds, colonies and military prowess and then finally winning the War in Heaven.
So begins the journey of these two sibling species, two kindred hearts, both sharing a common ancestry only separated by ones ability to use the warp and the others ability to use Reiryoku, uplifted to fight the threat of the Necrons and their Gods the C'tan, to secure peace during the War in Heaven.
Time skip
Home Worlds are established:
Shinigami
The Shinigami take ''Jūreichi'' (Reach)as their home world, it's a beautiful garden world in the eastern sector of the Milky Way, Taiyō System, Second planet from the star, with 2 moons ''Csodaszarvas'' the larger of the two and ''Turul''. Jūreichi, a planet teeming with life, rich soil, vast raw materials, 15,273 kilometres in diameter and perfect atmospheric conditions for the Shinigami to live comfortable.
Within 70 years thanks to Shinigami technology, Jūreichi became a shining jewel in a dark galaxy, the land was covered in cities of pure white and gold, but it also didn't give up it's natural beauty, rolling green plains, mountain ranges, forests and lakes, were scattered all across Jūreichi, separating cities from each other, the biggest of these cites being the capital ''Seireitei'' the central hub of the Jūreichi cities network. In the deep majestic blue oceans, aquatic cities could be found, the surface of them only being the tip of the proverbial ice burg, as the aquatic cites stretched deep under water. Finally in the skies over snow capped mountain ranges, vast hovering city platforms were floating proud, mocking gravity with it's creators mastery of technology, the underbelly of the each platforms glowing blue with energy.
The Shinigami sacrifice Csodaszarvas and Turul to create ''High Charity'' and ''Unyielding Hierophant''. High Charity being a colossal mobile space station 464km long and 348km wide that will act as the political capital and heart of their government ''Central 46'' all Shinigami fall under their laws, their words are absolute, their laws are fair and their minds set for the well being of all Shinigami. Unyielding Hierophant is for all essential purposes, a smaller version of High Charity, but much more heavily armed, standing at 30km long and 3.2km wide, it is also a mobile space station, with slipspace capabilities and will always be found in the heart of a fleet. It is also the location where all important military officers such as the admiralty board ''The Gotei 13'' which is still under construction, will host War Councils with the top brass of Central 46, and where they discuss all major and minor military developments, Important military promotion ceremonies also take place there.
''The Gotei'' and the''Onmitsukido'' are established, The Gotei representing as the Shinigami's military might, Navy, Army, Air Force, they all fall under the command of The Gotei.
The Onmitsukido representing the intelligence network and Stealth/SPECOPS, they also answer to The Gotei and Central 46 directly.
Central 46 immediately orders training of warriors, production of military equipment, vehicles, air craft and fleets: Priority order.
As the Gotei gets constructing and training, they're given a Secondary order: Instillation of an Admiralty board, to be named The Gotei 13, the search for suitable candidates is on going.
After 30 years of construction, the vast fleets are ready, the men and women are trained, the military equipment, vehicles and air craft are combat ready and Admiralty board full. While The Gotei were building up the military, Central 46 ordered the construction of 2 Shield Worlds, both taking 50 years each to build, one was given to the Eldar as a gift, which they eagerly accepted, knowing just how valuable their siblings constructions were. The Shinigami Shield World was named ''Requiem'' and the Eldar named theirs ''Lileath's Dream'' The colonization of nearby star systems was also ordered and currently numbers at 10 colonies.
The Shinigami are ready.
Eldar
The Eldar take ''Elsarvyss'' as their home world, it's breath taking, such beauty that can only be rivalled by Jūreichi, it had 3 moons, Lileath the Maiden moon was the purest white. Kurnous the Hunter's moon was greenish and dim, and Eldanesh the Red moon. it was located in the western sector of the Milky Way, Hydra System, 14,547 kilometres in diameter, only planet of a binary star system, the planets landmass was in the form of continents, surrounded by aqua blue oceans that twinkled like diamonds in the light of systems binary star, each continent has a different environment, snow, desert, mountain, grassland, forest. It gave the planet a mystical feeling, perfect for the Eldar.
80 years pass and Elsarvyss is now the heart of all Eldar, a bright light in this bleak galaxy, the continents are filled with beautiful wraithbone cities of the purest white, decorated in glowing runes and gems, each continent is covered in this brilliant display of craftsmanship and artistic beauty, the biggest and most beautiful of them all was ''Iirorith'' home to the ''Council'' the political and military leaders of the Eldar.
Vast shrines were built in the names of their Gods and Goddesses, each continent a different shrine for a different God/Goddess, this brought about vast pilgrimages across Elsarvyss. Also out of respect and love for their sibling race, prayers and offerings were practised for the Shinigami deities, mainly Reiō. Hearing of this the Shinigami responded in kind and started holding festivals for both races deities.
With Elsarvyss established, The Eldar head to the stars in search of worlds to colonize, worlds that will help them during the war to come, by giving them warriors, resources and territory. The first colonies being the following:
Mymeara: Its symbol is the Cursing Eye, referencing the omniscient abilities of Asuryan who could kill enemies in a single instant, this colony was a multi role colony, bringing in both warriors and resources.
Croesus: No known symbol, this colony was a strictly mining colony, with only a few civilian cities. It brought a big boost to Elsarvyss economy.
Eldorado the Golden: A vast shrine world, that trained and produced vast amounts of Warlocks, Autarchs and to a lesser degree Farseers.
Lileath's Dream: The Shield World gifted to them by their siblings, became a vast archive and military stronghold, The archive holding information on everything from their origin and why they were uplifted, to their sibling race and the special bond they share. Information on how both races looked out for each other and that the Shield World they're on was originally created and gifted to the Eldar by the Shinigami. Even basic history and their cultural records were stored here, the reason for all this being, in the event of a galactic scale crisis, the Shield World can act as a large refugee world, the archive helping Eldar hold on to their culture, also so in worse case scenarios, if not used as a refugee world, meaning the Eldar are small in number and scattered across the stars, it will constantly send a signal via the Webway, in hope of finding any Eldar vessels. This emergency signal will automatically activate if no Eldar activity has been detected on the World and nearby systems, for over a year. All information on the Shield World will be safe, as the world would only respond and open it's doors to Eldar and Shinigami, the blast doors will remain shut to any other race and sentinel defences would activate if they tried to force the doors open, the key word being tried, as it would take lots of fire power to outright destroy them and you would need to ram them with a ship twice the size of a GSO Supercarrier to force them buckle and open.
The Seer Council orders the training of warriors, production of military equipment, vehicles, air craft and fleets, in turn ordering wraithbone production to increase drastically.
35 years later the Grand Eldar armies along with all their equipment, vehicles and air craft are ready, the majestic, art like fleets are in orbit, exemplary Farseers, Warlocks and Autarchs are given command.
The Eldar were ready.
As the Shinigami and Eldar were building their strength, the Precursors continued to fight the Deathless armies and God like beings, uplifting many other minor races to buy time for the Shinigami and Eldar as they situate themselves as galactic powers, also to relieve pressure of themselves and distract the Necrons and C'tan, keeping them from discovering the two sibling races in their weakened states. They almost didn't make it, as their population was not even a 1/4 of what it used to be before this war began.
But now after just 200 or so years of building and preparations, the Eldar and Shinigami were strong and eager for war.
Ending of a Heavenly war
War councils are quickly called, It was the beginning of the end of the War in Heaven and the Precursors would make sure they were victorious.
The reactions from the Necrons and C'tan upon their discovery of the Eldar and Shinigami were... not what they were expecting.
The Necrons showed no sign of shock or intimidation by the arrival of 2 new powerful races, they simple began gathering data on how to combat them, while bolstering their fleets and armies for the inevitable attacks on their forces.
The C'tan's reaction was... different, they were over joyed by this change in events, from what they could sense, these Shinigami and Eldar had very powerful souls... meaning very tasty souls, oh they would enjoy this to their hearts content.
Unperturbed by this the Eldar, Shingami, Precursors and the other uplifted race quickly open theatres of war all other the galaxy.
The Eldar begin fighting on the western sectors of the galaxy slowly pushing back any and all Necron forces, but not without sustaining casualties of their own, Precursors fall back to help the lesser races hold their boarders, which in turn buffers their own. As Necrons reinforcements arrive to the western systems the Eldar and Necrons fleets quickly enter a bloody stalemate in the space above Precursor colonies and Necron Tomb worlds, neither giving an inch and meanwhile the Shinigami prepare to head to the eastern sectors of the galaxy to combat C'tan Mag'ladroth aka ''Void Dragon'' and the Necron forces under his command, in an attempt to take the pressure off the remaining Precursor forces in the area, by drawing his eyes to the Shinigami.
But First, they were to break the current stalemate over a Important Necron tomb world in the western sector, which if destroyed, will turn the tides of the war in their favour for all the western frontiers.

Admiral Commander and Imperial Admiral of the Navy Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, is the highest ranking officer in the entirety of the Shinigami military, he was a young man if his facial features spoke true, with mid length black hair that fell just below his ears, held back in a short ponytail that fell flat against his lower neck, the front in a central parting, with two bangs ever side of his cheeks, stopping just above his lower jaw.
He was tall and muscular, as all his race was, wearing his officers shihakusho, his muscles were bulging, trying with all their might break from their confines, around his waist was a gold obi, his Zanpakuto on his left hip, Z-110 Blue HardLight pistol at his right and to finish it off, his white sleeveless haori, with gold trimming, purple inner lining and on the back, the Kanji for 1 inside the Gotei symbol in bright gold, signifying his rank and authority, as leader of all Gotei armies and fleets ''Admiral Commander'' But he was still at the command of those pen pushers at High Charity, Central 46, with a sigh he locked his eyes back to view in front of him.
He had warm brown eyes, strong masculine jaw, mouth full of pearly whites and of course the trade mark of his species, horizontally pointing ears that poked out from under his hair, just a little over an inch through, back to his face and we notice something rather intimidating... an X shaped scar across his forehead, courtesy of a close call with a Tomb Spider claw, ironically, he decided to keep the claw after he cut the Tomb Spider in two with his Zanpakuto, he gave a little chuckle at that.
As he sat in his Sliver and Gold command hover chair, looking over the bridge, the bridge was circular in nature and large, made of metallic dark sliver material called Nanolaminate, it had a slight blue shine to it, but maybe that was due to the dull blue over head lights. His hover chair was located on top of a ramp, with light blue holoscreens circling around him, his crew in front of him and to his sides, in curved lines of three, at the centre was a large holographic table, that currently had projection of the Star System they were occupying, in front of the crew was the observation windows, looking out at his fleet and at a Blue Gas Giant, one of two in the Star System. He smiled, he loved this ship and it's crew, but he was about to send them straight into the deep end of the war, to help a Eldar fleet under the command of Farseer Aemtyra Meslone, to help break a bloody stalemate with a Necron PDF fleet orbiting a Necron Tomb world.
Back to his crew, his two of his three senior officers where like sons to him. To his left and right was his navigations and systems officers both holding the rank of Lieutenant, dressed in their standard Gotei Navy battledress kimono (Shinigami Academy kimono only, Blue for males, Red for females) Zanpakutos on their backs, they were also his personal students, Shunsui Kyōraku and Jūshirō Ukitake, both were very young, but had great potential, his third officer was Rear Admiral Chōjirō Sasakibe, he was dressed similar to Yamamoto, only his haori lack the gold and symbols. It's Yamamoto's personal mission to see to it that both his students are one day members of the Gotei 13 Admiralty board. He'd have to beat the laziness out of Shunsui first for that to ever become a reality.
On cue, as if Kami read his mind and decides to mess with him, when Yamamoto turned his head to head to Shunsui he caught him, lying back in his personal customized reclining hover chair, legs up, boots off, arm over his eyes, plotting a navigations course with his toes.
Yamamoto's Eyebrow twitched... not good, the rest of the crew backed away, Jūshirō shook his head at his best friends behaviour, while Shunsui was oblivious to the danger he was in, continued plotting a course with his little piggies, while he put his arms behind his head and brought his other foot holding a cup of sake to his mouth for a little before mission drink... his fifth.
''SLUUUUUURP...Ahhhhhhhhh! That's the good stuff'' said Shunsui after taking a big gulp and placing it back on his navigation desk, all with out using his hands 'I'm so smart' thought Shunsui with a chuckle, which quickly ended when a chill ran down his spine, he looked over his shoulder.
''Oh Shi-'' he didn't have time to finish his sentence.
''SHUUUUUUUUNSUUUUUUUIIIIIII!'' Yamamoto bellowed, whilst covered in a fiery aura, he sent a blast of Reiatsu at Shunsui, the whole bridge shaking under his power.
*High pitch, girly scream, courtesy of Shunsui*
GPV Destroyer: Muramasa
Bridge
''Captain!'' a sensory officer yelled, quickly getting the attention of said Captain.
''What is it Tetsubuni?'' said the Captain, while turning away from her holoscreen to face the sensory officer below her.
''We're picking up a large reiatsu spike... It's coming from the bridge of the 'Ryujin Jakka'!'' he replied with shock in his voice, while looking at his holographic display 'These reiatsu levels are so large it's not even funny' he thought, he then turned back to face his Captain, ready for orders.
''Hail them immediately!'' she replied, her mind quickly going through scenarios in her head, trying to come up with an answer to what might be wrong aboard the Admiral Commanders ship.
''Hai!'' responded the communications officer ''Establishing Connection in 3...2...1 Connection is online''
As soon as those words left his mouth, in front of the crew, a large holoscreen flickered into existence, with Yamamoto being at the centre, the whole crew snapped to attention while they were under the eyes of the Admiral Commander.
''Captain Shihōin, to what do I owe the pleasure of this hailing?'' Yamamoto's powerful voice boomed over the bridge's speakers.
''Sir! we detected a large spike in reiatsu coming from the 'Ryujin Jakka', is everything alright Admiral Commander?'' she replied, voice full of respect and a hint of worry.
''Everything under control Captain, I was just... dealing with a certain manchild'' Yamamoto replied, his voice sounding slightly tired and less authoritative than normal.
She raised an eye brow at this and was about to ask what he meant, until she and the rest of her crew caught sight of Jūshirō with his ever kind smile, standing over a slightly smoking and twitching Shunsui in the background of the holoscreen, fire extinguisher in hand.
The entire crew of the 'Muramasa' sweat dropped, they should have know it was Kyōraku again.
'Seems the self-proclaimed ''Kami's gift to women'' is up to his old tricks again' Captain Shihōin sighed he really is the biggest manchild ever, but a manchild with a amazing military record, she'll give him that at least. Snapping herself out of her thoughts she replied
''Understood Sir, we just wanted to make sure you were ok'' turning her eyes from the tragic mess in the background, back to the Admiral Commander.
''Appreciated, I praise you on your quick response to an unknown, now, prepare for a loose formation slipspace jump Captain, we'll be heading to the frontier soon, coordinates have been sent'' he replied, his voice back to it normal authoritative way.
''Aye aye sir!'' she replied, placing her fist over heart while doing so.
Yamamoto nodded and cut the connection. With a sigh, she sat in her command chair, 'I really don't envy you sir, I would have spaced Kyōraku by now' she smirked, a few seconds past until she snapped to it.
''Prime the Repulsor engines for a loose formation jump to the coordinates on screen. Prepare yourselves were heading feet first into the fire!'' Captain Shihōin barked to her crew.

Yamamoto leaned back in his command chair and sighed. looking over at his now slightly toasted navigations officer he smiled 'At least he keeps the crews moral up'
''Have you plotted the course Shunsui?'' he asked in a calm, authoritative voice, telling all that heard him that it was time to get serious.
''Yes Admiral Commander'' Shunsui replied in a respectful manner... for him at least, while give him a nod.
Yamamoto nodded back and then turned to his left, to face Jūshirō, he was just about to speak when Jūshirō beat him to it, smiling kindly as always.
''Engines are primed, Shields at 100%, the fleet is set in loose formation: Utsusemi, all ships are showing green lights, weapons are online, star fighters and sentinel variants have been prep for combat, we're ready sensei'' said Jūshirō, calm and respectful as always.
''You know, she's not going to like this, Aemtyra I mean, she's not one to play the part of 'The Damsel in distress'' said Shunsui with a chuckle and a wide grin.
Yamamoto and Jūshirō laughed at that, the three being close friends with Aemtyra, Yamamoto more so, they spent a lot of time together in the beginning, nearly 250 years ago, both of them being the first of their respective species, they had grown very close to say the least. Yamamoto looked at Shunsui.
''Yes, but there's first for everything and she may be prideful, but she isn't stupid, she knows when she needs help'' Yamamoto replied with a small smile, it had been so long since they last met and what better way for a reunion is there than coming to their rescue?
''Now, enough of this, it's time to go pull our 'Damsel in distress' out of the fire'' said Yamamoto, earning a chuckle from the crew.
''Hail the Destroyers, Muramasa, Hi no Hebi, Mirokumaru and Kaze no Ikari, and the Assault Carriers, Tamashī no shio and Sukuinushi, I want the Destroyers on both sides of the Ryūjin Jakka and the Assault Carriers above our upper hull, we'll be heading through first as a vanguard and knock out any and all Necron ships too close to the fleets slipspace exit coordinates, as we'll be coming in from behide the Necron fleet, the rest of the fleet will follow after I send the all clear signal on the other side, I doubt a Necron PDF has anything to match a Gotei Supercarrier'' Yamamoto ordered, sending the crew into action, relaying orders to the rest of the fleet and preparing themselves for what's to come.
''Destroyers Muramasa, Hi no Hebi, Mirokumaru, Kaze no Ikari and Assault Carriers, Tamashī no shio and Sukuinushi hailed sir!'' reported a communications officer ''They're coming up from our rear, Destroyers taking up position at our flanks, Muramasa and Mirokumaru on our right and Hi no Hebi and Kaze no Ikari on our left and Assault Carriers above our upper hull Admiral Commander!''
True to his word, outside the Supercarrier, four silver 1.5 kilometre GVP-Class Destroyers and two platinum 5.3 kilometre GAS-Class Assault Carriers came sailing through the void and took their positions at the flanks and upper hull of the colossal 28 kilometres gold GSO-Class Supercarrier Ryūjin Jakka, all of them glowing with blue lights.
''Excellent, now on my mar-'' Yamamoto started, when he was interrupted by a certain manchild.
''OH OH OH! Old man yama, old man yama?'' Shunsui shouted excitedly, making Yamamoto's eyebrow twitch in annoyance at being called 'Old man'.
''Yes Shunsui?'' he replied knowing full well what he was going to ask.
''Can I give the order? you know, as part of my training from when I get command of a ship'' Shunsui said with a lazy tone and grin, he was still lounging in his chair.
'The day you get command of a ship, is the day I lay an egg my friend, not going to happen... I hope' thought Jūshirō as he sweat dropped at his friends behaviour and lazy attitude.
Yamamoto gave a heavy sigh.
''Very well'' he said, then turning to his holoscreens.
Meanwhile Shunsui lazily spun on his hover chair, to face the crew.
''Eh ehhmm, right on my mark, 3...2...1...HIT IT!'' Shunsui shouted in his lazy tone.
Yamamoto sighed.
Abruptly the signature large white/blue outlined rift, in the fabric of space that indicated the ignition of a slipspace jump opened in front of the Supercarrier and it escorts, the vanguards repulsor engines roared as they plunged forward in to the heart of the rift, the rift then closed just as suddenly as it opened, when the last ship had sailed through, leaving the rest of the Shinigami fleet to prepare and await the signal to strike.
End of Introduction Part 1
Please Review and tell me what you think and if I should do more of it.
Also for those of you that are new to Warhammer 40 or Bleach and don't understand some of what you've just read, read the following. Also a full list of Eldar and Shinigami Gods.
Key Words and Side Information:
The Precursors - They are notable for being the first of all the galaxy's sentient life as well as being the first race to cross the sea of stars, making them the oldest space-faring species in the galaxy. The Precursors are said to have had a slow, cold-blooded wisdom, studying the stars and raising astrology and astronomy to an arcane science. It was their understanding of the universe that allowed them to manipulate alternate dimensions and it was known that they undertook great works of psychic engineering. At some unknown point, they crafted the Webway to serve as a conduit through which they could travel to far-flung worlds without suffering from the tides of the Warp. Such was their advanced science that they had the capacity to cross vast tracts of space with a single step by way of Webway portals and through such means they managed to spread their spawn to many other places. They believed that all life was useful and they are known to have brought about the rise of numerous new species and impregnated thousands of worlds which they made their own
The Warp - The Warp is a psychic dimension parallel to real space. It is known by many names: Warpspace, the Immaterium, the Empyrean, the Ether, the Sea of Souls, and also as the Realm of Chaos.
Necrontyr - The Necrontyr were a humanoid race that existed before The War in Heaven and were the instigators of said war. The Necrontyr's planet of origin was barren and radiation-blasted, making it incredibly hostile to life. Their bodies were ridden with radiation sickness and they lived a morbid life, constantly fearful of their coming deaths. Their cities were built in anticipation of their demise, little more than vast tomb complexes with a few temporary homes for the living.
The Necrontyr attempted to overcome their mortality with scientific means, but realized after thousands of years that their bodies could not be changed to survive on the planet. Instead, they developed spacefaring technology, though of a much slower and more uncertain nature than the methods of the Precursors. Where the Precursors were able to move between the stars in seconds, the Necrontyr had to use slow-moving ships, equipped with stasis crypts, to reach out to the stars. They clad their ships in living metal to withstand the rigors of space flight.
Necrodermis or living metal - Living metal is a metallic substance that appears to grow and heal as if it were part of a living organism.
The C'tan - (Eldar Yngir) are said to be the oldest beings in existence. It is said that the C'tan were created at the very beginning of the universe, spawned from swirling gases and enormous amounts of energy, and as such are etheric creatures by nature. In their natural form they are vast beings and spread themselves over the surface of a star, sucking at its energy to feed themselves. After a time, they learned to use diaphanous wings to travel to other stars to continue their consumption. The matter around them was so insignificant that it didn't even register to their voracious appetites.
After several million years, the race known as the Necrontyr discovered a being feeding from their very sun. The Necrontyr, under the leadership of Szarekh, "the Silent King," managed to communicate with this being, naming its species the C'tan; which in native Necrontyr means "star gods," or "star vampires". Eventually the Necrontyr built physical bodies for the C'tan made from Necrodermis or living metal. The C'tan were then transferred, supposedly across an "incorporeal starlight bridge," into their new bodies - thousands of miles of energy creature compressed into comparatively tiny bodies.
The C'tan made use of the Necrontyr's hatred of the Precursors to wage war and collect bodies to consume, which they enjoyed far more than their old diet of star energy. They also found a love of worship, or more accurately, of others worshipping them. They were revered by the Necrontyr as gods and forced them into complete slavery. The C'tan eventually tricked or convinced the Necrontyr into leaving their bodies and entering shells of living metal, becoming the Necrons.
Necrons - The Necrons are a race of mechanical warriors, created from the Necrontyr by The C'tan.
Kidō - "Demon Arts" is a form of Shinigami combat based on advanced spells. These spells are produced with strong Reiryoku and fall into two categories:
- Hadō - ''Way of Destruction'' Offensive spells which inflict direct damage to the enemy. Their effectiveness differs depending on the user. It is said the effectiveness of the higher-ranked spells are beyond imagination
- Bakudō - ''Way of Binding'' Supplementary spells which can immobilize an enemy or have an effect besides a direct strike. They may seem subtle, but these spells can give their users a tactical advantage when used properly. These are a broad category of defensive spells which block/repel attacks or freezes enemies in place. This class of spells include Kidō Barriers & Seals.
It is one of the techniques in the Zankensoki, the group of Shinigami primary combat skills. Kidō spells are triggered by an incantation. Experienced users can trigger them without an incantation, though the effectiveness of the spell will be diminished.
Shunpo - Is a Shinigami movement technique which allows the user to move faster than the eye can follow. Eldar Warp Spiders have a similar technique through the use of un-natural teleportation devices.
Eldar Gods - The Eldar Gods reside in the Pantheon a vast beautiful and mystical demi-World within the Warp, the Eldar Gods are made up of the collective psychic energies of the Eldar and have a very close kinship to the Shinigami Gods. The known Eldar Gods are the following:

Her tears are said to have been formed into runes by Vaul so that she could communicate with her children.
- Kaela Mensha Khaine - God of War and Murder, he was the younger brother of Asuryan.

In order to purchase the freedom of Kurnous and Isha, Khaine demanded one hundred blades from the smith god. Vaul was unable to finish the last blade in time, and so hid a mortal blade amid the others. This fooled Khaine long enough to get Isha and Kurnous to freedom, but when he realised the trick he cried out for vengeance. Vaul finished the final blade, Anaris the Dawnlight, and took it to do battle with Khaine. Though it was the greatest of swords, Khaine was the better warrior and crippled Vaul. The smith is often shown chained to his anvil, the punishment that Khaine set upon him.
Pantheon - A vast beautiful and mystical demi-World within the warp, it is said to be a world of vast green fields covered with forests and lakes, floating mountains and at it's centre a gigantic ancient city of white. After life of the Eldar until they are reincarnated into the psychical universe, and home to the Eldar Gods. Souls seem to enter the Pantheon through a giant light blue portal reminiscent to a webway portal with white wraithbone edges decorated in red rune stones that stands in the centre of the gigantic white city, the portal is said to be able to connect to the Soul Society with a special key.
Soul Society (also called the spirit world to the Shinigami) - Is a dimension that is connected to real-space and partly cut off from the warp, but is hidden from both. It is also known to be the Shinigami afterlife. It is also where the Shinigami Gods Reside and where most Shinigami Souls dwell until they are reincarnated into the Physical Universe. Souls enter the Soul Society through a giant golden arched, white pillared and red doored portal gate called ''The Senkaimon'' which stands upon a vast circular tower near the centre of the Soul Society, it is said with the creation of two keys called the Ōken, a connection could be made to the Pantheon, allowing souls and Gods to travel too and fro each dimension.
The Ōken - The King's Keys, they are two intricately designed golden keys that when come into contact with either of the giant portals in the Pantheon or the Soul Society create a ''bridge'' to each dimension. Only two exist, one being with Asuryan and the other with Reiō.
