A/N: An idea I sprawled out on my word document one night. Wasn't very grammar or spelling conscious at the time so there were a lot of mistakes and there probably still are , if anyone finds them please let me know, but this is a little interesting at least me and my friend thought so. So, here is another story, and this one will involve a Soi Fon/OC pairing. If you don't like it don't read it.
Stripes of Black and Gold
Arc One: Revival of the Hornet Clan
Chapter One: Capture the Prize
Soul Society was calm and peaceful. The Arrancar war had ended and the serenity seemed to exude amongst the dimensions. The rising sun rose in the clear ski, and allowed them to enter unannounced.
There were two of them, clad in what looked to be heavy plate that was solid black in color. Each of them had large pincer shaped pieces on their gauntlets while long segmented tails curled up behind them. The portal behind them was masked by the sun as they stepped onto the world of Soul Society the outskirts of the Rukongai. In front of them was the impressive form of the Seireitei, and their target lay deep inside the walled city.
"Human spirits built this." One of them asked as they marched rather quickly for their armored forms toward the walled structure. He had dark golden blonde hair and deep vermillion eyes that glared with malice at the people in which they passed.
"We are not here to fiddle with pitiful human ghosts." The second one growled angrily. They were sent here on a specific mission. A month ago a power that their queen had never imagined feeling again shook their world. Their queen, The Grande Mother, immediately dispatched the best troops she had to locate the source of this disturbance and destroy it immediately. Should that power grow unchecked then all that Grande Mother had worked for would have ended.
"I know Kenpoku." The golden blonde one said as the soon approached the walls of Seireitei. He knew all too well the wishes of Grande Mother, but he still could not believe that a being of this magnitude would consort to sealing itself within a group of human spirits. The filthy primates didn't even have the right to grace the dirt with their presence.
"Then you understand how important this is Korsuke." Kenpoku gruffly said as he placed a hand on the wall. His energy seemed to deplete upon touching it, but it was a slight inconvenience as both he and Korsuke began to slowly merge with the stone.
"So I here they are announcing the new Squad Five captain today." Kyoraku Shunsui said with his typical enthusiasm. He just hoped that the guy wasn't the same as the last Fifth Division captain, because it really would be a pain to fight another war.
"Yeah, I hope the guy is tough." Zaraki Kenpatchi responded to Shunsui's comment. I may even ask him to spar after all. The eleventh division's captain chuckled. The new captain would be a good warm up for the real fight when Kurosaki Ichigo finally decided to come back to Soul Society.
The room quieted down as the doors open and Commander-General Yamamoto entered followed shortly behind by a man with a slender build and bright platinum blonde hair. Yamamoto and the rest of the captains took their place in the meeting hall and all eyes were on the kid, probably no older than fifteen human years. The doors soon closed as the captain's meeting began.
Shiekei gulped as all the captains lined up immediately, but then he remembered what an honor he just received, though he was still a little self conscious. All eyes were on him, what a lousy time to get stage fright he thought. All the people looking at him and scrutinizing him were heroes in the arrancar war. Not to mention he was filling the spot of the person behind that war.
"Huritaki Sheikei," Yamamoto spoke calmly and returned the boy's attention to the here and now. "You have proven yourself to be a strong individual in the Academy and it is very rare that someone fresh out of the Academy becomes a captain, but you also passed the scrutinous test of becoming a captain, and also received recommendations from not only the Fourth Division's Captain Unohana Retsu, but also the Twelfth Division's Captain Kurotsuchi Mayuri and the Ninth Division's Captain Abarai Renji."
"Uh…thank you sir." Sheikei said with a slight chuckle as he rubbed the back of his head in a non-chalante manner. "I hope that I will be able to live up to your expectations."
"I am sure you will." Yamamoto said in a calm tone. A smile was played underneath his beard at the young boy, but suddenly something crashed into the doors leading to the outside world. The captains heard the screams of the guards outside before the doors rapidly opened to reveal the beautiful young woman pushing them open.
Her body was covered in an elaborate form of light armor that was solid black in color and trimmed with gold, across her back was a massive lance that was also black with golden accents.
"Where is Great Queen Suzembatchi?" She shouted in an annoyed tone into the room of captains.
"Who are you to just come in here and make dem…?" Yamamoto's sentence was cut off as the woman suddenly appeared in front of him with the tip of her lance pointed at his throat.
"Listen you primate." Her tone was harsh as she spoke. It was as if she didn't even want to be talking to them. "It is imperative that I secure her majesty and evacuate her from this stink hole."
The unsheathing of swords echoed throughout the hall as the remaining eleven captains instantly had their zampacto ready to strike the strange assailant. While those were posed to strike her from all angles the Second Division Captain Soi Fon wasted no time in securing her blade at the base of the woman's jaw.
"You mind telling me why my sword needs to be evacuated anywhere." She said as the woman turned her deep purple eyes on the female captain. They then looked down at the sword before she pulled her lance slowly back away from Yamamoto and dropped to her knees.
"Forgive me your majesty. I did not know that you had given an audience to these primates." The woman said as she bowed at Soi Fon's feet. "I unfortunately bring you bad news as you are in grave danger my queen."
"Queen?" Soi Fon questioned along with the other captains present but was stopped by loud clapping coming from doorway.
The two strode into the room as if they came up out of the floor and moved silently towards their target. The captains heard the girl gulp the words 'Scorpion Clan.' They stopped when the captains stood ready to strike as their combined reitsu surged through the room.
"Looks like the wasp did our work for us." Korsuke chuckled as he swatted his hand through the air as if trying to bat away an annoying insect.
"Indeed." Kenpoku laughed. "But for fun let's kill them for wasting our time."
"But Grande Mother said." Korsuke said calmly.
"We'll say that they started it." Kenpoku jested as the claw like attachments on his armor spring open and the segmented tail unravels.
Scorpion was right to describe them as the two armored warriors now looked like two large scorpions.
"Who are you people?" Yamamoto angrily asked as he slammed his cane into the wood floor. Of all the times that the Seireitei had been infiltrated did anyone manage to get to the
chamber where the thirteen captains met, and where was the alarm to say that intruders were in Seireitei? Surely these three beings were noticeable.
"We are Grande Mother's Emperor Knights." Korsuke said with pride. "We will be destroying Great Queen Suzembatchi now so that Grande Mother will rule unchecked."
"I'm guessin' that makes you guys tough then." Kenpatchi stepped forward soundly and planted his sword into the floor. He then opened his robes and grinned viciously. "I'll give the stronger of the two of you one free shot."
Korsuke obliged immediately and slammed his claw clad forearm into Kenpatchi's gut and instantly launched him into the back of the room and through the wall. Korsuke returned to his ready stance as the other captains tried to read what he would do next.
"Now that this foolishness is over." Kenpoku said as he re-emerged instantly behind the group of shinigami and more specifically behind the young second division captain. He raised a clawed hand and brought it down rapidly into the woman's neck. The rest of the scene was one of shock for the captains as the armored woman screamed the name of a flower and instantly a bright light illuminated the area before a small light blue portal opened and she and Soi Fon's unconscious body were pulled in.
"You let them get away Kenpoku." Korsuke said with a grin before the two also vanished into their own unique portals.
