Kisuke: My, my, it looks like my wish came true, eh Sōsuke?
Sōsuke Aizen: Why yes, Kisuke... And this "prologue" is dedicated to you, Euregatto:)
Prologue
It has been ten years passed since the Winter War ended. During the war, Captain Kurotsuchi has discovered that the real Sōsuke Aizen has been replaced during his years of him being Lieutenant and that it was Kyōka Suigetsu that took the form of Aizen and vanish his welder's soul and engaged on Aizen's body.
As the Captains were notified, all the Vizards and Urahara shop members were noted about the Real Aizen. "After all these years, his Zanpakutō betrayed us and took the form of my lieutenant? Damn that metallic shit!" Shinji grunted.
– A year after the Winter War (冬戦) –
Sō-taichō has been noted that Kisuke Urahara has discovered that he find the real Aizen who was kidnapped by his traitor, Kyōka Suigetsu. "He still looks like the lieutenant that Shinji Hirako had… the young Aizen." Kisuke stated to Captain Yamamoto (Sō-taichō) and the rest of the Captains. "Well done… Kisuke Urahara, former Captain of the 12th Division, would you please take the role of Fifth Division's Captain?" The old man grunted, "Hai," Urahara replied. "Very well, you are at this point to pick your lieutenant. Or would you not replace Hinamori as your lieutenant?" "Iie, I prefer her to be in 3rd Seat, Sō-taichō." The old man nodded, "Sō-taichō, permission to speak to Urahara-taichō?" Ukitake asked while took a single step in front of the captains. The old man nodded, again. Ukitake turns towards Urahara, "Urahara-tai-" "Kisuke… Call me Kisuke," Urahara took off his green hat, revealing his face. "Uh, Kisuke-san, may we ask who you would pick since you placed Hinamori as your 3rd Seat?" "…The real Sōsuke Aizen," Kisuke added. He is totally the different Aizen (Kyōka Suigetsu) that you all knew… He is the kindness 'brother' of mine. I knew him longer than Yoruichi." It is at this point, Soifon gasps. What, he knew Aizen better than Yoruichi-sama? "I have found a new barracks for the 5th Division, in the World of the Living." "Very well, Captains, dismiss!" The cane struck the floor.
– A few hours earlier –
In some dark sub-terrain like valley, young Sōsuke Aizen opened his eyes up and saw that his face is about a few inches away from a pond-like spring. He squinted to look around for his glasses. He looked at his foot and saw something that looks like a pair of glasses. He put them on and saw his reflection. After he fixed his shihakushō straight and stood up and starred at his reflection, trying to cease his fears of shaking. He looked around, "Kyōka Suigetsu, NO!! Don't-" Sōsuke's ears starting to hear his own voice. "Kyōka S-Suige-tsu?" Then Aizen feels a little chill in is spine and gently, his eye lids close. In the Darkness, Sōsuke spots an elderly version of himself but with menacing eyes and a hair, with a long bang between his eyes.
*Flashback*
"Kyōka Suigetsu, NO!! Don't-" Young Sōsuke Aizen was on the ground, trying to reach towards a mysterious tall man with menacing eyes who was walking slowly towards him. "What, do you really believe that I would make it? You are really the man that I thought you might be… Sōsuke Aizen." The tall man who almost looked similar to Aizen but at an older age and saw his menacing hair and that single bang dangling over his nose. "Sōsuke Aizen, remember that I, Kyōka Suigetsu, is no longer your zanpakutō, but your evil self. Ready, Shinsō?" The elderly man knelt down towards young Aizen, "Master, if you insist." Aizen looked at his partner, Gin Ichimaru lying down on the concrete floor, unconscious. "Ichi-Ichimaru-kun," Sōsuke gasped with shock. "Shoot to kill, Shinsō." The elderly man with brown hair replied as his two fingers were slightly petting across Aizen's cheek and then gripped Aizen by the neck and lifted him up without any struggle. "It is over, Aizen. Yamamoto will damn you and your pals for what you two have done to me… Goodbye. And thank you." Aizen saw his elderly reflection opening his mouth and breathed out some type of green ghastly substance at Aizen's young face. As the green smoke covered Aizen's face, an old silvered haired man who just looked like Gin, but at an older age, sucks blue smoke from Gin's body and the man's face shifts form into Gin's adult look. "Well done, Shinsō… Now, that we have Tōsen and you, I must do this myself." Aizen saw through the smoke a menacing smirk and blackness consumed him. At that moment, Aizen's head fell as his body followed behind and landed roughly on the floor. 'What is this, how can I hear and not able to move or feel?' Aizen thought as he hears some footsteps coming through. The elderly man who took Aizen's adult form turned around and sees Kaname Tōsen walking towards him. "Ready?" Aizen asked. Then suddenly, Kaname pulls out his zanpakutō and rushes towards the adult Aizen. "Shikai, huh?" The man placed his palm in front of him making, Tōsen's body shake from Kyōka Suigetsu's reiatsu flaring around his body. "You obviously don't want any bloodshed, Tōsen. So I suggest, that you and your zanpakutō, Suzumushi doesn't want to see anything like that, do you?" Then a loud clash came behind some wall. "We're almost there!" a man's voice screamed. 'Hmm? Someone is here already?' The elderly Aizen looked over and felt a familiar reiatsu flare through the walls. "Hmm, I wonder who that would be…" *BOOM* "Tōsen…" "Hai!" Kaname stopped and went out the door and then the two figures were listening nothing but silence until they heard a blade ring and a thud hit the ground. "Kaname, Kaname. You are such an un-noble person." The elderly Aizen raised two fingers up, "Shoot to kill…Shinsō," Shinsō's voice echoed as clash of a sound of a blade flares across the room as Shinsō stood up with shock and turns around to look at Kyōka Suigetsu. "Kyō-ka… Suige-tsu…" Shinsō looks down at his torso and sees blood. "Master, we have failed… We….have….. FAILED!!" Shinsō screams as blood squirts all sides of his torso and falls dead against the concrete pavement. "Who goes there?" A familiar voice hollers as the real Aizen's eyes opened up. "Tes...sai-san?" Aizen whispers. 'Hmm…' Kyōka Suigetsu thought as he pulled out a katana, "I guessed that I have to do all of this myself. Then, shall I." Then the doors banged over and over. After the third bang, Sōsuke struggled to his feet, "They won't be coming in. I know your tricks… I have time… Kyōka Suigetsu." 'Hm..' Kyōka Suigetsu turned his head slightly towards the young teenage boy. "I have found it… Bankai," Aizen whispered and then pulled up his sword slowly, "My, my, you really think that you can beat me… We'll see about that." "I don't think… Urahara-kun, my brother has taught me to... believe." Aizen pulled up his other arm with pain and raised his katana that was flaring. "Let's do it, Kyōka Suigetsu." "As you wish, Sōsuke." Sōsuke ran and swung his katana and Kyōka Suigetsu dodged the attack and took a swing at Aizen. Then Aizen flew backwords and hit the wall as debris was clearing out of his way, he gasped as he saw his "former" zanpakutō jumping in the air and raising his blade above him and came crashing down at him. Suddenly a sheer of screeching sound hit. Aizen opened an eye slowly and saw a blade between the two, "Enough… I had enough of this, let's finish this Aizen." Aizen looked over at the welder and saw his young silver haired fox-faced friend, "Ichimaru!" "Kyōka Suigetsu, you betrayed us, all…" he swung as Kyōka Suigetsu broke through the locked grip of the three swords by performing a backflip up in the air and landed lightly. Aizen held his bruised arm and saw his small partner panting with rage and anger. "Ichimaru-kun-" "Sōsuke, I got this. Shoot to Kill, Shinsō!" Gin hollered as a long pointed blade dashed across the room towards Kyōka Suigetsu. "Bakudō Hachi-ichi (#81): Danku." Then a blast shield rose as Gin's blade struck the wall, causing the thing to bend. 'Damn, I almost got it!' Gin thought, "Hey…" Gin turned his head and saw Aizen, standing on some huge rubble. "What is it?" Aizen was concentrating on something; but Gin couldn't tell what it was really was. But He did feel some strategy was being formed in Aizen's eyes. "Ichimaru-san… Keep swinging towards Kyōka Suigetsu and I will seize him from behind," Sōsuke looks down at Gin, "I trust in you. This is for, Urahara-taichō." Gin nodded. Then it began.
After about three hours, Gin swung his final blow as Kyōka Suigetsu shunpōed it and then Gin landed on a piece of rubble. "Sōsuke! NOW!!" Kyōka Suigetsu turns around and suddenly feels a hand ceasing his hands. 'What?! What is-' "It's called Kagereiyoku. (Stealth Energy) It hides my reiyoku, reiatsu, and reiraku completely." "W-What?!" Kyōka Suigetsu opens his eyes with shock. "That is correct, Kyōka Suigetsu." A familiar voice from the wall commented as a huge boom crashed through the walls and into the room. "Ura…Urahara-taichō!" Aizen gasps as he holds Kyōka Suigetsu's hand tightly. "Let's do it, brother. Naké, Benihime!" Urahara gripped his zanpakutō as a huge reiatsu flashed across the room. "Remember, Sōsuuke? Kazeyoshi's ability. Come and join with us, Aizen." Then the young boy flared his reiatsu and a huge reiatsu shook the entire room so powerful that Tessai, Gin and the rest, who were outside in Hueco Mundo fell. Even Captain Yamamoto's eyes widen, "That reiatsu… It can't be!" The old man gasped. "Ready?" Sōsuke nodded. "HYYYYAAAH!!" The two screamed. Then a flash of light lit the place up and nothing but light fades into darkness.
Urahara stands up and sees unconscious Aizen kneeling down on his katana, sleeping. "Urahara-dono!" Kisuke turned and saw Tessai and Gin bowing down with a sweat drop on their cheeks. He chuckled then placed Benihime on the ground and a huge red ring surrounded Tessai, Gin, Aizen, and himself. "U-Urahara-dono-" Tessai gasped as he was witnessing a move that has never happened before. Urahara closed his palms together and detracted them slowly with a red glowing ball. "Tessai, after I witnessed your Spatial Displacement & Temporal Stasis Spell, I researched your works and created a newer version. A revolutionized one. Bakudō 10000: Jikanteishi to Kūkanten'I, Benihime!!!" Urahara shouts and the room explodes with a huge light.
*The Flashback Ends*
– In a sub terrain valley–
Aizen's eyes opened as he heard footsteps from behind. He jumped up a little as he saw a young girl wearing a pink n' white dress, "Oh, sorry if I woke you up. My name is Ururu Tsumugiya, I work under your friend, Kisuke Urahara." She bowed, "It's alright, I finally decided to get up-" "My, my, it looks like you finally wake up after all, since I closed the seal. By the way, your friend Gin in being recovered by Ushōda-san. It will take quite awhile till Ichimaru can recover his wounds. By the way, I knew that it wasn't you this entire time, Aizen." Urahara covered his face with a fan. "I must get move. I'm going to tell the others about what exactly happened to you and your former zanpakutō. From now on, you will train to achieve, Bankai. I must get going." Urahara enters in the Senkaimon, leaving Ururu and Sōsuke behind. "I must use it. Ururu, I'm going to the Vizards. Tell your master that I went there. And that I will return later on." Ururu nodded as Sōsuke looks at his new zanpakutō, Kazeyoshi (風喜) and lifted it up in the air, "It's been awhile for me to use this, especially with a new zanpakutō that I replace. Ururu, I would close your eyes for a moment, if I were you." She obeyed as he looks back at his sword and stabbed the ground gently and a huge ring of green light surrounds, "Kazeyoshi, kieru, Gintsukigata." (消える、銀月形!) [Vanish, silver crescent] A huge orb forms around Sōsuke and a tremendous flicker of a bright light germinates and then fades out into an empty space. Ururu then opens her eyes and see no one in the room.
