Chapter 1
Footsteps were heard along the corridor of the 1st Division, they drew louder as the captains robe dragged on the floor behind as its wearer made their way to the captains meeting room.
"Ahh, no one's here yet." said the Captain as he tied back his blonde shoulder length hair back into a ponytail.
"How is the 3rd Division holding up Kira Taicho." said a voice from behind the Captain.
"Ahh, Renji, its hard work but comfortable, how about the 7th." said Kira.
"Its the first break ive had this month, I expected the 7th to be a lot easier to manage.
Renji's long hair fell past his shoulders covering the large tribal tattoo's that covered most of his face.
"Have you heard from any of the other captains." asked Kira as he looked past Renji to spot any other captains.
"I spotted Kenpachi a while ago but he seems to be busy with Yachiru." said Renji as he sat down outside of the captains meeting room.
"Ahh, is she still silent." said Kira.
"Seems that way, i doubt she will speak much anymore anyway." said Renji as he stared out into the sky.
More footsteps were heard as three more captains arrived outside of the meeting room.
"Greetings." said Shunsui Kyoraki as he sat down beside Renji before pulling out a bottle of sake from underneith his captains robe.
"Care for a drink?" asked Shunsui as he handed the bottle to Renji.
"Dont mind if i do." said Renji as he took the bottle from Shunsui and took a swig.
A female Captain sat down beside the pair as she snatched the bottle from Renji.
"If you're going to drink at least let the ladies go first." said the female captain as she took a swig from the bottle.
"Ahh, Matsumoto!" said Renji as he watched her drink the entire bottle.
"That's not a way for a lady to act you know." said Shunsui.
"Sitting down outside of the captains meeting room drinking sake is no way for a captain to act either." said a stern voice from afar.
"Ahh, quiet down Rukia san, let's not let old Yama, hear about this." said Shunsui as he tilted his hat before winking at Rukia who's long hair was tied in a ponytail that rested on her shoulder.
As the group of captains waited outside, the meeting room doors suddenly opened revealing Captain Toshiro Hitsugaya of the 10th Division looking on disapointingly at the captains outside.
"The meeting is already in place." said Toshiro as he turned and walked back inside. Toshiro was now considerably taller with the appearance of a teenager and longer spiky hair.
As the captains entered the meeting room they noticed the five remaining captains standing inside. As the captains stood in place, the captain commander addressed the group.
"Its been 100 years since the position of the 5th Division was filled. Two months ago, Captain Rangiku Matsumoto of the 9th Division recommended her 4th seat to take the captains proficiency test. Myself and three other captains judged the potential captain and came to the verdict that the shinigami was more than capable of running the Division. So i introduce to you, newly appointed captain of the 5th Division Reizo Akemi." said the Captain Commander as he stood aside allowing the new captain to enter the room.
Akemi Reizo was dark skinned and wore sunglasses hiding his eyes, his scruffy stubble covered his face as he walked carelessly through the middle of the captains as his zanpakuto rested loosely on his waist.
"Greetings, I'm most pleased to meet you all." said Akemi as his sunglasses titled from his smile.
"From the raving review of Captain Matsumoto, you skills are supposed to be the best she has seen in years. I hope to see them one day." said Renji as he eyed the new captain for a moment before a large impact on the captains spiritual pressure was felt through sereitei.
"Arrancar." said Rukia as she looked outside to the sky noticing 3 figures standing in the sky above sereitei.
"It seems we are under attack again. Captains of the 5th,6th and 7th Divisions are to take a small group of shinigami and tackle the threat head on. Captains of the 4th and 12th Divisions are to return to their posts and stay posted. Captains of the 8th,9th, and 10th are to keep sereitei reinforced applying troops around the wall. And the 2nd Division are to sweep the rukongai and eliminate any arrancar activity." ordered the Captain Commander.
And with the Captain Commanders orders, the Captains moved out to their posistions. Akemi, Rukia and Renji quickly gathered as much shinigami as they could before heading up towards the 3 Arrancar who stood in the sky.
"Akemi, these Arrancar are definitely Espada, as the Espada have grown over the years we have had to adapt our fighting style towards them, there's a two captain rule when facing any member of the Espada." said Rukia as she ran beside Akemi.
"Are they that powerful?" asked Akemi in disbelief.
"Yes, were not sure but we are positive that at least six of the current Espada are vastolordes." said Rukia
"Good, ive always wanted to face a Vastolorde." said Akemi as he grinned slightly.
The 3 captains finally made their way to the Arrancar standing in the sky along with several shinigami alongside them.
"Okay, let's get the rubbish out of the way first." said the female Arrancar who's long dark hair fell past her shoulders. The remnants of her hollow mask took the form of a thin jaw that ran the outline of her forehead and had two fangs from each corner that just touched her eyebrows.
Her Arrancar outfit consisted of a sleeveless Arrancar jacket and Hakama.
The female Arrancar then nodded towards the two other Arrancar standing beside her who then used Sonido to disappear above her and beside the Captains.
"One Cero should do it." said the female Arrancar as she fired her cero wiping out all of the shinigami that followed the captains.
"Now we have you all to ourselves." said the female Arrancar as she grinned.
"Ill leave you 3 Captains to my partners here. I'll just enjoy the fight." said the female Arrancar as she used Sonido to move away several paces.
"HAHAHAHA!" laughed a short fat Arrancar who's remnants of his hollow mask consisted of a large horn similar to a rhino's that protruded from his forehead.
"What's so funny." said Renji as he shifted his direction towards the Arrancar.
"There's only 3 of you, and from our intelligence its two Captains to an Espada. How will 3 of you cope with just 2 of us." said the Fat Arrancar as he laughed to himself.
"I won't need a second captain to defeat you. Your mine." said Renji as he drew his Zanpakuto and distanced himself from Rukia and Akemi.
The short fat Arrancar followed Renji and introduced himself.
"Churrigo Candela Noveno Espada." said Churrigo.
"Abarai Renji Captain of the 7th Division." said Renji as he held out his sword before saying "Bankai"
"So it seems like I'm stuck with you two huh. I kinda wanted all three of you to myself" said a tall thin Arrancar who's remnants of his hollow mask consisted of a small thin bone that ran from the top of his forehead down to the tip of his nose.
"I think you have your hands full with just us Arrancar." said Rukia as she drew her Zanpakuto.
"Hmm, and you might be." said the Thin Arrancar.
"Kuchiki Rukia, Captain of the 6th Division and you are?" said Rukia as she pointed her blade at the Arrancar.
"Benito Cano Decima Espada." said Benito.
"Only number ten huh." said Akemi as he looked over at the female Arrancar that stood watching them closely. "This won't be too difficult Rukia, let me handle this." said Akemi as he drew his blade.
"You think of yourself powerful shinigami ?" said Benito as he drew his long rapier like zanpakuto from his waist.
"No, i do not think i am powerful, i know i am. Arrancar." said Akemi as he looked at Benito from under his glasses.
"Hmm, well ill show you what an Arrancar can really do. "said Benito as he held out his blade before saying " Pinch - Cangrejo "
As Benito released his Zanpakuto, a large cloud of smoke encased Benito before finally clearing to reveal his released form. Benito now had two large pincers for arms and his lower body was now transformed resembling a crab. His mask had also changed now forming a large shell like helmet over his head covering his face and shoulders.
"Is that it." said Akemi as he looked over at Benito's released state.
"This is the ultimate form of an Arrancar, Shinigami. I advise you to show me respect." said Benito.
"Ill show you respect Arrancar when you survive my blade." said Akemi as he raised his blade to give its release command. "Give Praise."
