The Rise of Squad 14

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the original Bleach characters or their affiliations, Tite Kubo does. I do own every character and their Zanpaktous within Squad 14 and a few others on top of that.

Alarms blared throughout all of Seireitei. Shinigami dispersed across the city searching for the intruders. Genryuusai barked at the closest messenger, "Send in the Kido Corps!"

Yagami Masaru raced through the maze-like streets of Seireitei, glancing quickly down any path for signs of the intruders. He instinctively flash-stepped out of harm's way as two Adjuchas came barreling through the walls of a building at him. He whirled on them and yanked his Zanpaktou free from its sheath. One of the Adjuchas hurled itself forward at him. "Bakudo 4: Byakurai!" yelled Masaru. A pale bolt of lightning flew from his fingertips and burnt a gaping hole in the Adjuchas bone-white mask.

The Adjuchas disintegrated into the air and its companion bellowed in fury, "You will pay for that Shinigami!" The Adjuchas charged forward recklessly enveloped in his rage. Masaru poised his Zanpaktou to strike and flash-stepped forward. He ducked under a swipe from a clawed hand and severed it at the wrist. The Adjuchas bellowed in pain and spat in a mixture of agony and fury, "Damn you shinigami!"

Masaru responded with a grim smile and raised his blade above his head and brought it down on the Adjuchas' mask cleaving him vertically in two. Masaru placed the tip of the blade in its sheath but whipped it back out and spun around as a human-like figure sonidoed out of the shadows. The figure swiftly planted a foot in his stomach and sent Masaru tumbling down the stone street and crashing through the walls of a simple apartment.

An Arrancar briskly walked down the street towards him with his hand clasped around the guard of his Zanpaktou. "Too slow Shinigami!" he laughed. Two Fraccions sonidoed into view on both sides of him and smirked at their fallen foe. Masaru stirred and stared in surprise at his opponent, "An Arrancar? I'm amazed that one evolved from Adjuchas form so quickly," he said.

"Guess you thought wrong shinigami scum," replied the Arrancar, "Besides there are several more Arrancar back in Hueco Muendo. This is just a mere scouting mission."

"That's good to know, I thank you for the news I will be providing the captain-commander of the Gotei 13 once we are finished," replied Masaru.

"You must know that since I am telling you this I have no intention of letting you live," replied the Arrancar, "Out of respect I will let you know the name of your killer. I am Ryuu, Espada 8 of the New Order."

Ryuu grabbed him by the kosode of his Shihakusho and lifted him off the ground above him and hurled him through the building beside him. Masaru flash-stepped out of the rubble and slashed for Ryuu's hip with his Zanpaktou. Ryuu unsheathed his Zanpaktou just enough to deflect the blow before pulling it out of its sheath and engaging Masaru. Sparks flashed into existence as their blades collided again and again in a never ending flurry of attacks and counters.

Masuru slammed the guard of hs sword into Ryuu's stomach and sent him careening aside. He lunged forward through the opening in Ryuu's guard and the tip barely nicked his flesh before Ryuu sonidoed out of harm's way. Ryuu wildly slashed at his exposed back but Masaru swung his blade behind him to intercept the vicious blow.

Masaru whipped around and swatted Ryuu's Zanpaktou aside before plunging his own into Ryuu's torso. Ryuu spat blood on the ground and pulled himself off the now blood-soaked blade. He glared in cold fury at the shinigami and charged again regaining the offensive.

Masaru deflected every strike and slashed for his opponent's throat. Ryuu deflected the reckless move and kicked him into another building. Ryuu signaled to the Fraccions, "Finish him!" They nodded in compliance and unsheathed their on Zanpaktous and headed for the gaping hole in the building. Two women flash-stepped in front of the rubble and unsheathed their Zanpaktous; they both flash-stepped forward and engaged the Fraccions. Ryuu growled in utter frustration, "More shinigami?"

Masaru flash-stepped out of the wreckage and sliced at Ryuu, "Having your servants do your dirty work? Never took you for a coward," taunted Masaru. He uppercutted Ryuu with the guard of his Zanpaktou and began to chant a Kido spell, "Bakudo 73: Sōren Sōkatsui!" Twin giant streams of blue fire coiled around another and surged for Ryuu from his palms. Ryuu disappeared in the torrent of flames and a column of fire rose up from the storm of fire before crashing back down onto Ryuu like a waterfall of blue fire.

The Fraccions used the moment to attack the distracted shinigami by the Kido spell. Akane regained focus on her opponents and slashed at them to keep them back. "Slice through the sea, Oshankingu!" she cried. Her Zanpaktou eroded down into a thin strip of metal and extended out ten feet and coiled around her like a sea serpent. She pressed the teardrop-shaped jewel on her guard and it indented inward slightly. Water surged out of the base of the guard and exploded at the Fraccion.

The Fraccion disappeared under the torrent of water. The water swelled around him and dropped into a vortex. Water bubbled and frothed at his feet slowly rising around him. Hikari lunged forward at her opponent. "Focus on your own fight dumbass!" she bellowed. The Fraccion whirled around and deflected the attack before gaining the offensive.

He slashed and hacked in every direction to try to keep her off balance. Hikari easily blocked every blow and shoved him back a few paces with her blade. "You lack technique, a sparring session with Squad 11 can fix that up," she said.

The Fraccion hissed in fury and redoubled his efforts slashing wildly for her throat, stomach, and hip. Hikari shoved him back again before the Fraccion hissed in fury and released his Zanpaktou. "Judge, Santa Delacruz!"

Hikari smiled as his Zanpaktou melded into armor around him and turned into cannon on his arms. Hikari charged and slid to a halt before diving aside a blindly shot Cero. She regained her footing and snarled at the cheap shot. She released her Zanpaktou, "Shear through the earth, paradasu!" The blade chiseled down and the guard dissipated. Black leather streamed into existence and wrapped around the blade slightly.

She looked at him and a gust of air blew through her hair revealing the black and red eye patch covering her left eye. She smirked at the surprised Fraccion and sprang forward with increased speed. She swung again and again each time the Fraccion's blade slipped into a small crater on the blade. Hikari slapped the Fraccion's blade aside and slipped her own past his and straight into his chest barely missing his heart.

The Fraccion stumbled back as blood trickled down his lips and spurted from his wound. He quickly fired off Cero after Cero. Hikari swung her blade four times and her blade sliced through every single energy shot. Spiritual pressure increased tenfold as he charged up two Ceros in each cannon. Hikari smiled as two massive Cero rays surged at her. She reached up to her eye patch and tore it free before tossing it to the ground. She opened her eye and the red jeweled eye of a Hollow greeted the Fraccion. Her reiatsu practically exploded as she ducked and weaved under each Cero and made her way to her prey.

The Fraccion desperately tried to defend himself as Hikari sprang forward and slashed a deep, diagonal cut trailing down from his left shoulder to his waist. Blood exploded from the cut and pooled in the street. The Fraccion gasped in surprise and collapsed to the ground dead. Ryuu reappeared out of the firefall and watched the Fraccion get cut down by the woman. His other subordinate had disappeared in a storm of water and hadn't surfaced yet. He got the strange feeling that he never would.

He turned to the female shinigami with the chiseled blade and see looked up and the glowing red eye rooted him to the spot. He suppressed a shudder and opened a gargantuan. Hikari grinned as the Arrancar disappeared back to Hueco Muendo. The fierce storm behind her finally reached its maximum strength. A twisting column of water exploded out of the water surging several hundred feet into the air. "Crash back to the earth, Oshankingu!" The water melded into a liquid serpent and it opened its foaming jaws in a feral snarl.

The serpent dropped back down to the street only mere feet away from the Fraccion. His last words were, "Oh, shit!" The jaws snapped closed and the water calmed and rippled softly into a large puddle. Akane's shikai dissipated and returned to its normal form. Masaru stood rooted to the ground as he stared into the hollow eye that dug like a piece of hot metal deep into his head. Captain Soi Fon and her squad flash stepped into the street.

Hikari quickly slipped the eye patch on and sheathed her Zanpaktou. Soi Fon stared in wonder as she saw a glimpse of scarlet beneath the eye patch. "Did you apprehend the intruders!" asked Soi Fon. "Captain, it was several Adjuchas and three Arrancar, one called himself an Espada. But that's not possible right?" he asked.

"I honestly don't know this was so sudden," said Soi Fon lost in thought, "Did he by any chance say anything to you?"

"Yes captain, he said he was Espada 8 of the New Order and that they would return for revenge," said Masaru.

"I see well we better report this to the Captain-Commander," she replied.

A hell butterfly fluttered down from the sky and landed on Soi Fon's fingertips. "Well this works perfectly in our favor. The Captain-Commander wishes to speak with you three anyway," she said.

Masaru sheathed his blade and exchanged looks of surprise between Akane and Hikari. Soi Fon signaled for them to follow before flash-stepping away. They rapidly flash-stepped from roof to roof until they finally came before the main entrance to the Squad 1 Barracks; Soi Fon dropped down into a crouch with the other three behind her. They strode right in and headed for Genryuusai's office. Captain-Commander Yamamoto turned to the four entering his office. Soi Fon stopped in surprise when she found every captain assembled except Mayuri.

Mayuri suddenly flash-stepped into his place in line, "What's with the emergency meeting Captain-Commander? I was enjoying an experiment on something very interesting."

"Quiet Mayuri," commanded Yamamoto, "I brought you all here to discuss a problem I have been pondering on lately."

"I feel that the Gotei 13 is too few in number to be dispersed as they are. I have decided to establish another squad," continued Genryuusai.

"Another squad?" exclaimed Hitsugaya.

"So we will become known as the Gotei 14?" asked Ukitake.

Mayuri cleared his throat and interrupted the other captain's protests. "I think another squad is a wonderful idea. It gives me more time for my experiments," said Mayuri, "But there's just one problem who will be captain?"

"I think Yagami Masaru would be an excellent choice," said Yamamoto.

"The boy? Ha, I bet he can't even use bankai," sneered Mayuri.

Yamamoto smiled as Masaru's spiritual pressure filled the room directed at Mayuri and brought him down to one knee. Soi Fon clenched both fists in pain as the reiatsu pierced the air. "As for bankai," he said. He tossed Kurai Koka into the air and chanted, "Yukue Fumei No Daka Koka!" The sword exploded into a thin whirlpool of green fire. Searing heat filled the room as a slender pole of various bones fixated into a scythe with a human skull on the bottom. The scythe dropped into Masaru's grasp. He swished it through the room and pointed the skull out the window to fire off a jet of green fire outside. "Yukue Fumei No Daka Koka can slice through any armor and almost any Kido barrier or powers like that. The skull fires off and enhances the strength and range of Hado spells," said Masaru.

Mayuri got to his feet and scanned the bankai up and down, "It's pretty impressive," he said.

"On top of being able to use Bankai, Masaru can wield Kido spells as skillful as Byakuya," said Yamamoto. Byakuya fixated a glance on Masaru at his name being mentioned.

"Then it's decided," said Yamamoto. A shinigami brought in a haori and quickly died the new squad emblem on it. Masaru slipped it on and turned to Yamamoto. "Who will be in my squad?"

"You choose," said Yamamoto.

"Well then, I hope you don't mind Kenpachi because I am taking Hikari as my lieutenant," said Masaru, "My wife, Akane will be my third seat, her shikai is breathtaking to behold." He scanned through a list of new Shinou Academy graduates and choose people off of the list by their lists of accomplishments and powers. "My fourth seat will be Yukiko Sakura. My fifth will be Daisuke Hideaki. My sixth will be Hisashi Isao," said Masaru, "I would like to choose two more unseated squad members: Katsumi Jun and Kazuhiro Makoto."

"Well then that's settled, today marks the birth of Squad 14," said Genryuusai.

Ryuu stood beside another Arrancar as they watched Genryuusai establish another squad through a strange spell. The blue ball of liquid fire dissolved and the Espada cackled with insane laughter, "Enjoy the peace while you can, shinigami!"

Ryuu: I just love a woman with power!

Akane glared at him and planted a kick to the groin and displayed her left middle finger to his face with a ring glistening beside it.

Ryuu: *groans in pain* Feisty too!

Hikari: That's what you get whore. *shows eye to creep him out*
