Bleach: Light Trick
Chap 1: New Captain
Five years after Aizen's defeat in The Winter War Momo Hinamori still hadn't recovered completely. She had gotten over her "love" for the traitor but his treason had caused grief for her that resonated in many places in her life.
Because of her absence and deteriorated mental health her division had massive transfers and she had allowed all of them. Even after the war and her complete return to duty her division was still crippled.
She had to pick up the slack for her division in any way possible to prove to her men and her friends that she was ready to get the 5th division back to power. This included taking on investigative missions in the world of the living.
The mission seemed simple; some hollows had been grouping together in the human world. Her division was to investigate the occurrence, deal with it, and report back. Simple, so she decided to do the mission herself.
However she quickly became over whelmed when she found an Arrancar with the small group of hollows. She had taken care of most of the hollows with the help of some Kido but the others and the Arrancar overwhelmed her and she decided a strategic retreat was in order.
This however proved fruitless as the hollows and their Arrancar leader were fast on her tail.
Got to go faster! Must run faster! She thought as she flash-stepped like crazy to get away from the trio of evil spirits.
Suddenly she was blindsided by a hollow's tail and slammed in the ground. She tried to stand up but a foot came down hard on her spine.
"Only one Soul Reaper is sent after me!How insulting! " Momo heard a voice say as the foot on her back flipped her over and slammed on her chest.
She stared up to see a tall Arrancar with tan skin and a piece of his hollow mask just over his eye. He had look of disgust at his face directed at Momo, and the hollows loomed over his head waiting to devour the shinigami.
"And such a pathetic one at that."He said slamming his foot down again. Momo grunted but glared back at the Arrancar.
"I guess I'll just have to let my friends eat you." The Arrancar said with a smug look on his face.
"They can't do that if they can't move. Geki!" A voice sounded off as the hollows were engulfed in a red light.
Momo and the Arrancar looked to the side to see a man standing off to the side. He was a man of average height with a hood over his head hiding a good amount of his face. His arms were bare, except for gauntlets around his forearms, showing a decent amount of muscles. His pants were tucked in to long boots and he had a sword strapped behind his back.
"And just who are you?" The Arrancar said. "Hmm, never mind actually I'll just have my friends here kill you."
The Arrancar made a movement with his hand, expecting his hollows to attack the new comer. When they didn't move he turned to them in confusion.
"What are you doing!" He shouted.
"You clearly weren't listening. My Kido spell makes sure they can't move unless I want them to, and no I don't want them to." The man said with the smirk evident in his voice.
"Why you little whelp! How dare you mock the powerful Vango Picassa! I will tear you-"The Arrancar's rant was interrupted by the hooded man appearing beside him. The hooded man slammed the side of his hand in the others throat, leading into a punch to the stomach with his other hand, and a roundhouse kick to the face. The Arrancar was sent flying, landing six feet from the hooded man and Momo.
"Are you alright Lieutenant Hinamori?" The man asked bending down to help her up.
"Yes, I think so." Momo said accepting the hand the man offered. "Who are you?"
The hooded man took a bow for theatrics and said. "Luce Trucco, Kido Corps Commander."
Momo was unaware of the Kido Corps way of operation but knew that they rarely ever came out of Soul Society. She also didn't believe that the hooded man in front of her was such a high ranking member of the organization.
"What are you doing here?" She asked.
Luce was about to respond when the Arrancar jumped in between the two, swinging his sword towards Luce. Luce rolled out of the way and turned to face the Arrancar. The creature lunged towards him with the intent to kill.
Luce side stepped and sent his leg into the Arrancar's stomach. The humanoid hollow bent over from the impact before being struck several more time by Luce. Luce landed after his assault and held his palm towards the enemy.
"Shakkaho!" He shouted sending a red ball of energy at the Arrancar. His attack was dodged however and Vango stood his ground for another attack.
"Tell me Shinigami: why do you not draw your sword? Do you not feel I am a worthy adversary?" Vango said with displeasure in his voice.
"Oh, quite the opposite. I just don't use my sword in many battles, my specialty is Kido." Luce told his enemy with no malice in his statement.
"Kido? You've used that term before what is it?" Vango said with a confused look on his face.
"It's what my hand has been doing while you've been flapping your gums." Luce said with a smirk on his face. Vango looked at Luce's hand to see black energy swirling around it.
"Black Coffin." Luce said the spells name in barely a whisper. A box of black energy surrounded Vango, hiding him from sight. The spell powered up ready to kill the Arrancar inside. A final scream was heard as the energy spears tore into the box. The box disintegrated to show only the body of the Arrancar, torn to pieces by the high level kido.
Momo stodd still for a moment, no one should be able to do that kind of kido without saying an incantation. (1)She watched as Luce walked back from where he came and bend down to pick something up. She saw it was a haori, it was a dark blue color and had a large collar. He put it on so it hung on his shoulder more like a cape.
Momo recognized that this was the traditional garb of the Kido Corps Commander. Any doubts from earlier were erased.
Luce walked over to Momo and said with no jest in his answer. "As for your question earlier Hinamori: I'm here to take over your squad. "
_Hey guys it's me again with this story however instead of a new chapter I'm re-doing the story because I feel I wasn't hitting all the marks I wanted to in the previous version. So if you are coming back to this story I ask you to try this new version out and see how you like it, and if you are new to this story enjoy it any ways.
If you're coming back to the story you might notice I've changed some things about Luce. I changed his last name, his outfit slightly, and I've tried to make him more cocky.
Some things to point out about Luce.
Luce – Italian for light
Trucco-Italian for trick
1: Momo never saw Aizen use the spell any time he used it and wouldn't have been told about how it being used on Komamurasince she was in the hospital.
