Mayuri sat in his lab staring at the many flashing lights on the screen in front of him. As he bent his head closer to gaze at a particular three-digit figure, an alarm echoed through the hall. "Computer, what is going on?" He screeched. Looking at the readout from a different computer, he noticed several unidentified blips suddenly appearing on the radar. "Computer, what is causing this commotion? Why is it that it always when I'm about to reach a breakthrough something happens?"
A calm, emotionless synthetic voice interrupted him from his musings. "Nothing is appearing. Nobody is invading."
The doors opened and Mayuri's lieutenant entered clutching at a deep gash in her side. "Sir, I'm sorry, there is just too many of them. A message has been sent to the other captains. But reinforcements won't appear for another hour." With that she collapsed in front of him.
"This has gone far enough. Nemu not knowing what is going on is one thing, I rushed the cloning process, but my computers? This is outrageous." Drawing Ashisogi Jizō, he cautiously made his way down the corridor. Hearing voices, he pushed himself against the wall, and concealed himself. "Now where is this freak of a scientist anyway? We wreck his labs, we attack his lieutenant, we destroy his library and still nothing. Why is this? Why am I asking you anyway, trash?"
The speaker stepped into sight. She was tall and blonde with a cruel voice, and in her hands she held two knifes, the fact that she appeared so young was something that surprised him, the other was the appearance of her colleagues. They were tall and white, with a curious design where a face should be. They were different from any hollow or Arrancar that Kurotsuchi had ever seen, even their spiritual pressure was different. Same with the girl's. He could feel nothing, no spiritual pressure. Wait. He could, but this was impossible.
Instead of having any spiritual pressure, they had none; he could only sense them, as they were so different from his surroundings. A ringing sound and a Hell Butterfly entered the room. Mayuri's eyes widened. Hell Butterflies could see him. Hell Butterflies would deliver the message through skin contact. The Hell Butterfly would give him away. The girl looked up with a bored expression on her face.
The creatures, looked around with no eyes, and began to approach the butterfly. From nowhere, they drew swords, one in either hand, like the girl's only longer, and began to attack the poor creature. Swinging, but only just missing each time.
"STOP. This perfectly horrid thing has to be here for a reason, and we know that it can't be for reinforcements as that trash of a girl nearly wept when she was told that they would not be coming. So it must be looking for this Science man."
The hell butterfly began to descend and fly unhindered towards Mayuri. He sighed. Well he was going to be found out, so he might as well go down fighting.
Stepping forwards his camouflage dissolved around him. The blond woman looked at him and smiled, "gotcha." Mayuri drew his zanpakuto and lunged at the woman. She giggled and retaliated, two strikes to the stomach. She was fast, and she was like that fool Kenpachi, dangerous, brutal, and bloodthirsty. Yet these wounds she was inflicting. They were severe not life threatening. Mayuri's eyes widened. They knew about him, they want him alive. Some other fool may get captured but not him. Not after the damage they had caused.
"Hado 63 Soren Sokatsui"
From the end of his sword came a blast of blue lightening, soaring towards the woman, there was no way that it could miss. She was incinerated. No one could survive at such short range. A cloud of dust filled the room and a wave of lightening rushed back at Mayuri. It struck him in the chest. He flew across the room. Hitting the wall. Hitting the wall hard. He did not get up.
The woman skipped out of the dust towards him. She smiled and bent down beside him. "You, mister science man, just had your arse kicked by Organisation XIII's number XII Larxene." She clicked her fingers and from nowhere a portal appeared. "Come on bring this trash home, I think that I will be justly rewarded for this."
