THE NEW KENPACHI

Mitsuomi Kiriyu stood watching the northern gate of the seireitei, "so in there are the strongest fighters and if you kill a captain..you take their place" he thought. Mitsuomi overheard several people talking about going inside and challenging a captain, intrigued mitsuomi followed the group as they went to the gate and were let in. Mitsuomi was astonished by the buildings and scale inside the seireitei, "this place is vastly different than outside" zetseui commented. The group followed the similar paths finally arriving at the huge gate with the kanji for eleven on it. One of the group was the first to speak, "I am Here to Challenge the Tenth Kenpachi!" he shouted. The man guarding the gate laughed heartily, "you guys wanna face Captain Kiganjo?!...its your funeral" he smirked. The man opened the gate leading the group inisde, "alot fighters...not very strong" mitsuomi thought, adjusting his lower mask and scarf. Mitsuomi follows the group as they are led to a small tiled arena, "Captain..got some challengers!" the man shouted. Mitsuomi noticed a large hairy dark skinned man approach, he wore a white hoari over his shihakusho with two piercing below his lips. The man yawned loudly, "Again...none of them seem strong" he stated. Mitsuomi watched as most of the group took offense, "you'll see!" one shouted, charging but was quickly stopped by a backhand. Two more charged with swords drawn but the man countered with is own sword, defeating both. Mitsuomi watched the last brave one charge, while the other six took off but the the brave one fell easy, "so half-pint..your turn" the man shouted. Mitsuomi's steel-blue eyes narrowed, "hmm..trying to goad me" he thought, walking to the arena floor but not taking his eyes off of kiganjo. Mitsuomi took in kiganjo's appearance while flicking his left cheek with his braided ponytail, "he's strong...but lazy...however he defeated them effortlessly...he played on their anger and distraction" he thought, "Excuse me for asking but what is your name?" he asked. Kiganjo yawned, "I am Squad eleven Captain...Kenpachi Kiganjo...and you" he stated. Mitsuomi cracks a slight smirk with shadows hiding his face, "Mitsuomi Kiriyu...so if I kill you..I become the Captain..right?" he stated and kiganjo nodded. Mitsuomi took his battojutsu stance and vanished in a flash but appeared behind kiganjo with his sword drawn and bloody. The entire group gasped in complete shock as a gash from kigano right hip to his left shoulder sprayed blood but before they could protest kiganjo was dead before he hit the ground. Mitsuomi flicked the blood of zetseui and turned to see the dead captain, "better to end it quick before he got going" he thought, turning to several armed and angry men. Mitsuomi pointed zetseui at the men, "dont be foolish..he's our new captain...such is the law of our squad" a man stated. Mitsuomi glanced to see a man with old west sunglasses on, "If he managed to kill the captain with one blow..what chance do you have" the man stated. The men grumbled and stayed their hands, "So Captain...we should inform the other captains of this" he stated. Mitsuomi sheathes zetseui, "I see..then lead way...um?" he states and the man bows "Tetsuzaemon Iba...fourth seat...follow me" iba replies.

Mitsuomi follows behind iba as they arrive at another large gate with the kanji for one on it, "the attack you used on the captain..what was it?" iba asked. The gate opened as iba lead mitsuomi to a meeting hall, "its called shutensatsu..as it name implies..its instant death" mitsuomi replies. Iba leaves mitsuomi outside the meeting hall, "so..you're a captain now...big brother said they were strong...we should try to learn from them" zetseui commented, "I hope they are better than that kiganjo" he replies. The door opens and iba approaches, "go in..the captains and Lts are waiting..I'll head back and get the squad ready for your introduction" he stated and mitsuomi nodded. Mitsuomi walked inside seeing two rows of people in white hoaris and people with badges behind them, in the front was an older man with a long with beard and a cane. Mitsuomi could sense these people were strong but the older man was the strongest, "Are you the one who killed kenpachi kiganjo?" the older man asked. Mitsuomi slowly nodded causing some the others to gasp, "then due his death which was witnessed by his entire squad..you are now the captain of squad 11...what is your name" the older man stated. Mitsuomi clicked his boots and bowed, "Mitsuomi Kiriyu..sir" he replies but notices a slight twitch from the man next to the older man. The older man slammed his cane, "I Head Captain Yamamoto of the Goteijusantai...state from this day forth..you are the eleventh kenpachi...Kenpachi Kiriyu" he booms. Mitsuomi bowed slightly, "Excuse Sir but from what I've seen and heard..this kenpachi title is given to the strongest but judging by the others in this room..I dont deserve such a title...my skills are still unrefined" he states. Mitsuomi notices some of the other murmuring among each other, "I agree...he possess great skill but I believe he would benefit from more training...does he have shikai or a bankai...this is yet to be determined" a serene voice said. Mitsuomi turned to see a woman with a long braid in front and a serene smile, "I see Captain Unohana" yamamoto stated and turned to mitsuomi, "shōnen...do you possess either?" he added. Mitsuomi performed several handsigns before drawing his sword, "Zetseui" he recited and the sword extended to six feet with several links of chain. Mitsuomi's purple reiatsu started to rise shocking some of those present, "Zetseui..Deathscythe mode" he recited and his reiatsu flared more. The sword changed into a menacing scythe wrapped in black chain around the upper half of the blade, "shikai and bankai..interesting" thought a young man with brown hair and glasses. Mitsuomi sealed zetseui and dispelled the barrier he put up, "You possess both a shikai and and bankai...what about kido and hakuda?" yamamoto asked. Mitsuomi sheathed zetseui, "some hand to hand..no kido but I'm willing to learn" he replies. Yamamoto stroked his beard, "Then..I will give a six months to learn both...along with your duties as the captain of squad 11...Now dismissed" he boomed. The captain and Lts started leave but a few stayed to greet their new comrade, "hello..I'm Jushiro Ukitake..captain of squad 13" one greeted. Mitsuomi bowed politely, "Shunsui Kyoraku..squad 8 captain" another greeted. Unohana introduced herself as well Yoruichi Shihouin, "well you get the dubious title of youngest captain to date" yoruichi smirked, slapping his back. Mitsuomi bowed to the captains and headed back the eleventh.

Mitsuomi opened the door to the training hall, getting the attention of those assembled and marched to center, "Alrite...As of Today..I am the new captain of this squad...From what Tetsuzaemon has told me..This Squad specializes in combat..But gauging my predecessor..its Lacking" he stated, causing some of the men to grumble. Mitsuomi flared his reiatsu slightly, "That changes Today...I am going turn this squad into an Elite Combat Unit...We will hone our skills in Hakuda..Kido and Zanjutsu...If you've got a problem...Then try and kill me..If you wanna avenge Kiganjo..then Try but bear in mind...I took his life in one blow and he was a captain...just what chance do you have" he stated, the last with a smirk. Tetsuzaemon approached with kiganjo hoari, "here you go captain" he stated, drapping it over mitsuomi's shoulders. Tetsuzaemon then lead mitsuomi to his new office, "the captain didnt much paperwork and was a bit of a slouch" iba stated. Mitsuomi opened the side doors letting in some fresh air, "fetch me some cleaning supplies" he stated. Tetsuzaemon returned with the supplies and mitsuomi started cleaning the office, " iba...while I was at the meeting a saw people with badges..are they captains too?" he aksed. Iba dusted some shelves, "no sir..vice captains..second in command" he replies. Mitsuomi clears the desk keeping improtant papers and tossing the rest, "does this squad have one?" he asked.

"No sir..third seat either..but the paperwork intake is low" iba replies, throwing some papers away. Mitsuomi and tetsuzaemon finish cleaning the office, "ok first order of business is a complete report on our officers and battle strength...also do we have any missions?" mitsuomi asked.

"No missions yet and I'll have the report for you tommorrow" iba replies, leaving. Mitsuomi sits down at his new desk, "looks like you're getting use to it" a voice said. Mitsuomi turned to see yoruichi, "ohh come in captain shihouin" he smiles. Yoruichi sighed softly, "call me yoruichi..we're both captains" she smirked. Yoruichi sat across from him, "so..mitsuomi..it obvious by your skills..you were trained and your eyes show taken lives before" she states. Mitsuomi's eyes narrow, "you're right..I've taken my fair share...before I came here I was a mercenary in the west and south...havent visited the east and I was born in the north 55th district" he replies. Yoruichi chuckles slightly, "well mitsomi...if you wanna learn hakuda come see me...for kido go see retsu..captain of squad four...for advice..go see jushiro ukitake...I wish you luck" she states, leaving. Mitsuomi leans back in his chair, "you're making friends...I think we can trust them" zetseui states, "yea..they seem nice" he thought. Mitsuomi continued the rest of the day reorganizing his office and then his new room. The room was bare with a table and a bed and an empty closet, due to the clothes which very few clothes to start with.

The next day was mitsuomi's first official day as the captain of squad 11, several squad members gave him looks while others ignored him. Tetsuzaemon brought him the squads' officer list but the prospect was hopeless, "only ten officers outta twenty and none with real experience other than senseless violence..no second in command...I have dealt with worse" he whispers. Mitsuomi walked past his reflection and started scowling, "not my look" he thought staring at his new uniform, of a standard shihakusho and hoari. Mitsuomi decided at the that moment to see a local tailor and after explaining his look to the tailor. The tailor smiled, "alrite..I'll have your new hoari ready in six months but this shihakusho should suffice" he stated and mitsuomi nodded. Mitsuomi was now content staring at his new uniform, of a sleeveless shihakusho with slimmer pants and his black english riding boots. Black gloves with metal guards with his red scarf around his neck and his hoari drapped on his shoulders, "much better" he smiled, walking the streets. Mitsuomi returned to his division to find none other than a young man with brown hair and glasses, "Hello..I am Lt Sosuke Aizen of Squad Five..its a pleasure to meet you" he greeted. Mitsuomi extended his hand, "I'm mitsuomi..a pleasure" he greeted, as they shook hands. Mitsuomi and aizen talked for several minutes, "I dont like him" mitsuomi thought heading inside, "he could prove useful" aizen thought, leaving. Mitsuomi entered his office to find a butterfly on his desk, it floated up and landed on his shoulder, "captain kiriyu please report to squad four" it relayed, flying away. Mitsuomi arrived to squad four and was led to an exam room, "probably a physical" he thought. The door opened revealing unohana with two books, "afternoon captain kiriyu" she greeted and mitsuomi smiled. Unohana handed him the books, "they will help you with kido...we can meet once a month to test" she stated and mitsuomi bowed, "thank you captain unohana" he replies. Unohana begins her assessment, "remove you top please" she states and mitsuomi complies. The top came down revealing a burn on his left pec and large scar on his back, "his heart is on the wrong side" she thought, "these scars seem to have healed improperly...did you not seek proper treatment?" she asked. Mitsuomi sighed sadly, "not many doctors were I was and when you're on the run..its kinda hard" he replies. Unohana decides not to press the issue but tries to slowly get him to open up, "ok...you're in great physical health...I'll see you in a month" she states. Mitsuomi bows and leaves, "he seems to seen a great deal of sorrow in his past" unohana thought.

IVIVIV

The six month grace period was coming to a close and mitsuomi had settled in as captain, his kido and hakuda had progressed well and his squad was starting to accept him. Mitsuomi walked towards the training ground wearing his new hoari, modeled after a long pirate coat. The coat was white and was the same material of his original, inside was lavender and the cuffs were black with lavender trim stripes. The sleeves were skinny and had silver buttons going up one side of the coat with a creased black collar and the squad eleven symbol emblazed on the back. Mitsuomi watched his squad spar but had yet to select anyone to fill the vacant officer postions. A hell butterfly flew in front of him, "captain kiriyu..a captain's meeting has been called" it relayed. Mitsuomi saw iba sparring, "Oi..tetsuzaemon..you're in charge till I get back!" he shouted vanishing. Mitsuomi arrived at the meeting as shunsui and jushiro, "thats a nice new hoari...it show uniqueness" shunsui smiled. Mitsuomi smiled as they enter and took their places, "do you know what this meeting is about..jushiro-san" he asked. Mitsuomi glances at jushiro "not sure..sensei must have a reason" jushiro replies. Yamamoto slams his cane, "I call this meeting to order...one hour ago...we received word of several adjuchas hollows attacking a village in the eastern rukon district 65" he boomed. The captains murmured, "what do you propose sir?" yoruichi asked first.

"I want to send a team to investigate and eliminate the hollows" yamamoto states. Mitsuomi stood thinking and a smirk crept onto his face, "Head Captain..I would like to volunteer myself and my squad for this mission" he stated, elciting some shocked murmurs. Yamamoto opens one eye, "are sure shōnen..you have no Lt and only ten officers" he states. Mitsuomi steps out of his place, "I know the risk sir but this way i can properly test my officers and officer canidates...I will not let anyone die on my watch...squad 11 specializes in combat...its time it returns to former its glory" he states. Yamamoto slams his cane, "Captain Kiriyu..The mission is yours..assemble your team and be prepared to leave in two hours" he boomed. Mitsuomi clicked his heels, "Sir!" he shouted, as the captains started to exit. Yoruichi tapped him on the shoulder with a thumbs up, shunsui tipped his hat and jushiro gave him a slight bow. Unohana tapped his shoulder, "are you sure..you can handle it?" she asked and mitsuomi nodded, "Sure..I can..." he smiled, vanishing. Mitsuomi returned his division and called his ten officers and ten officer canidates, "Tetsuzaemon..you will staying behind to keep the squad running...the rest of you pack for at least a two day journey...dimissed" he stated. The group left and started preparing, "you sure captain..most of them are inexperienced?" iba stated. Mitsuomi tapped his cheek, "dont worry..I got a plan" he replies, leaving.

Mitsuomi and his group arrived just in the village about three hours later, "so many soul reapers" one stated. Mitsuomi gathered his team in the village square, "Alrite..we'll go over strategy...as you are aware..several adjuchas level hollows have been spotted near here..our job is to eliminate them" he stated. Several of the group murmured and gasped, "what are ya scared...we're squad 11" sneered a buff looking man with a grey crew cut. Several took offense and started to draw their swords, "Enough!...we have a job to do..but if you wanna...I'll take you on" mitsuomi smirked. The group stayed their hands, "ok..now how many of you have experience against adjuchas hollows?" mitsuomi asked and only four raised their hands. The four stepped forward, one was the buff man named hinoki another was a young woman with black hair in a ponytail named asahina. The other two were fraternal twins with red hair named fei and sanei, "ok you four and myself will the team leaders..we'll break up into three groups of five and i will take the remaining four...you are to focus on a single adjuchas at a time...do not engage multiple opponents...if they try to gang up..retreat and regroup..dont be reckless...I'll pick the teams and they are not negotiable" he stated. Mitsuomi broke the group into the teams and began evacuating the village, "do not fear..by morning it will over" he stated to the village leader. Meanwhile on the ridge overlooking the village three hollows stood watching, "So many and a captain is there" one snickers, shaped like a turtle. The second hollow shaped like a spider, "true..I sense their fear..its mouth watering" she hissed. The third hollow shaped like large minotaur, "yea..lets kill em" he barked.

IVIVIV

Mitsuomi glanced skyward, "Alrite people..its Time...Team hinoki take the one coming from the left...Team Asahina take the one on the right...Team Fei-Sanei provide support...We take take the middle!" he shouted. Mitsuomi smirked as the biggest hollow landed in front of them, "the minotaur huh?..ok" he thought. The minotaur roared flaring his reiatsu, "come on captain...show good fight" he bellowed. Mitsuomi noticed his team was shaking, "I know you're scared but swallow your fear and attack!" he shouted. The four charged but the minotaur block their swings, mitsuomi lept into his path as the hollow charged a cero. Mitsuomi dodged the cero and grabbed his horns, flipping over his head and slamming the hollow to the ground, "fire a sokatsui!" he shouted. The four chanted the incantation and the blue blast struck the minotaur but he roared shaking off the attack. A red cero started to charge from his horn, firing at one of mitsuomi's team but he deflected the blast with a kick. Mitsuomi charged landed a rising kick, "now attack from the sides!" he ordered. The remaining two attacked from the sides, while mitsuomi and the other two attack from front and behind. The four way attack drew blood but the minotaur was still standing, "You guys So weak" he bellowed, flaring his reiatsu. The minotaur vanished in a flash slamming his fist into one the team breaking her arm but she avoided serious damage. Mitsuomi charged using skukuchi, landing several strikes but the minotaur grabbed his legs slamming mitsuomi into the ground, "You die first captain" he roared. Mitsuomi turned on his back and blocked with his boots and pushed the hollow back but the minotaur brought his fists down. Mitsuomi grinned wide as the minotaur's hands were sliced off, "ahh...what happened?!" he roared. Mitsuomi got to his feet as the minotuar charged but vanished landing a crippling punch to the minotaur's gut. The three still standing team members channeled their reiatsu into their blades and delivered a decapitating blow to the minotaur. Mitsuomi sheathed his sword, "one down...hmm seems the others are holding their own...fei and sanei are helping asahina finish off the spider and hinoki has just killed the turtle...good" he thought. The battles ended and the group converged in the square, "looks like both teams slayed their target with minimal injuries..on my team shani's left arm was broken but she will be ok" he stated.

Hinoki crossed his arms with a scoff, "I dont like this...what were you trying to accomplish...putting experienced fighter on teams with rookies...the rookies should've been used for support for us vets...so explain that captain...think hard about your anwser..because if I dont like it..you lose your best fighter" he stated. Mitsuomi only stared, "do you know how many of us were killed?" asahina asked. The others looked around, "some took some bumps and cuts but we're all still alive" fei stated and sanei nodded. Asahina glanced at mitsuomi, "then today's actions by our captain has given us valuable experience against adjuchas level hollows...his reason for the assignments was to give us all the chance to grow and gain experience...am I correct Captain?" she stated. Mitsuomi was about to anwser when suddenly a blade erupted from his chest. The group gasped wide eyed as blood sprayed, "you dropped your guard..soul reaper captain" a voice calmly stated. Hinoki and Asahina drew their swords as mitsuomi gurgled, "you stand no chance against me" the figure stated, tossing mitsuomi aside. The figure was average height with a blade extended from his wrist, his body was nearly human shaped with cracked raptor like mask revealing a pale face and red eyes. The creature flared his reiatsu but stopped when a blade tapped his neck, "dont be so sure" a voice mocked. Asahina gasped to see mitsuomi behind the creature then to his corpse which was just his hoari, "that was utsusemi..a stealth force technique" she thought. Mitsuomi glanced to his group, "Asahina..Hinoki...Take the squad to safety..I'll deal with him" he stated but hinoki and several others voiced the opinion to stay. Mitsuomi flared his reiatsu like thunder, "I Wont say it Again...Take them and Go" he ordered. Asahina saluted and Hinoki huffed as the group vanished, leaving mitsuomi with the strange hollow. The hollow glanced back, "I'm sure my blade connected" he stated and mitsuomi smirked, "naw..just a trick of the eye...you're a strange hollow...are you a vasto lorde?" he asked. The hollow stayed silent as a blade shot from his back but mitsuomi dodged, "I am called Tyranus...and no..I am not..I am something else" he states.

[song playing...strive for power..bleach ost]

Tyranus extended his arms as several blades jutted forth, "is it not customary for combatants to give their names..I have given you mine" he states. Mitsuomi takes a kendo stance, "never seen a hollow with a cracked mask before" he thought, "I am squad 11 captain mitsuomi kiriyu" he states. Mitsuomi charges but vanishes, striking from behind but several blades jut from tyranus's back. Tyranus goes for a high back kick as a blade comes from his clawed foot but mitsuomi counters with a wide swing. Mitsuomi skids back but tyranus is on him with rapid punches, their blades clang and spark but mitsuomi stays firm. Tyranus charges a cero from his left blades but mitsuomi firmly cleaves the cero half and counters with a byakurai through tyranus's right shoulder, "you are quite skilled" tyranus states but mitsuomi only smirks. Tyranus retracts his arm blades and points his elbows at mitsuomi, from them two blades whiz like javelins but mitsuomi dodges using skukuchi and appears behind tyranus again but uses his right elbow to block and the blade shoots forth, slicing mitsuomi's right shoulder. Mitsuomi skips back as blood trickles down his right shoulder, "nice block and counter" he smirks. Tyranus charges with several arm blades but is blocked by invisible swords swings, "your speed is impressive..however" tyranus states, as two blades shot from his knees slashing mitsuomi's thighs. Tyranus skips back as mitsuomi wobbly stands with blood running down his legs, "your speed has been cut...now you're going to die...in the wild...a wounded animal is easy prey" tyranus stated. Tyranus extended blades from his arms and legs but does not notice mitsuomi has closed his right eye. Mitsuomi smirks as tyranus impales him, "why are you laughing" tyranus hissed. Mitsuomi grins wide, "because..I got you" he smiles, turning to mist. Tyranus's eyes widen as the area becomes black, "hahaha...looks like you're having trouble" mitsuomi mocked. Tyranus looked in every direction but saw no one, "Come out..show yourself!" he shouted but the darkness only laughed. Suddenly a hand gripped tyranus's throat, "I'll let you in on a secret...you think you're the apex predator but you're Not" mitsuomi grinned, coming out of the darkness. Tyranus had no time to react as mitsuomi drove zetseui through his abdomen but he gasped seeing a star in mitsuomi's left eye. The area returned to normal but mitsuomi was not done, zetseui started to glow and wail, "DragonStrike" mitsuomi recited. Tyranus howled in agony as he was obliterated by the blue blast, "I only face strong adversaries" mitsuomi stated but the only reply was the haunting wailing. [song ends]

IVIVIV

Asahina and the others watched the pillar of wailing blue energy, "wow..he's not one to mess with" she thought. Mitsuomi gingerly appeared from the clearing ahead of them shirtless with his wounds bandaged by his top, "the village is cleared of hollows...we'll return after..my wounds get checked" he stated. Mitsuomi and his group returned to the seireitei but mitsuomi was unaware someone was watching his battle. A figure watched the battle replay over and over, "you truly are immpressive" the figure stated. The door slowly opened, "Sir...its time" a voice stated. The chair turned to reveal sosuke aizen, "thank you kaname...return to your post...its time to put the plan into action" he coolly stated. Kaname bowed before leaving, "So Gin..what did you think of him?" he asked. Gin appeared from the shadows, "he's strong...beatin' tyranus like that" he smiled. Aizen continued to stare at the recording, "true but tyranus was a just the first step...soon it will come to pass" he stated. Mitsuomi meanwhile stood in front of his fellow captains giving his report, "so this hollow with the cracked mask..he was the leader?" yoruichi asked. Mitsuomi nodded slightly, "it was clear he was the running things but his power was interesting...he was different from the others especially that cracked mask" he stated. Yamamoto slammed his cane ending the meeting but mitsuomi knew that this could just the beginning.
