Rated M for Language, gore, and possible adult situations later on.

EDIT: to clarify what the summary wasn't able to, this story takes place 29 REAL WORLD years later, and 200 SOUL SOCIETY years later. Time: SS=7x RW.

I own nothing other than the OCs.

Prologue: The Brothers Kurosaki

"Help me big brother…Where are you?"

Alex snaps open his eyes and looks at his surroundings. He is in a forest, over grown and full of wild life and nature. He quickly looks around searching for a sign, a hint of the voice that called him.

"Hello! Where are you? Speak to me!" he calls desperately.

"Big brother, please find me."

"Where are you? Tell me, please!"

"A garden big brother, a big garden."

"What's your name? Who are you?"

"Brother, My name is…"

Alex bolts upright. Damn, those dreams again. It sounded more urgent this time. What was their name? I can't remember. "Fuck." Alex gets up for the day.

Alex Kurosaki and his twin brother Atlas had lived all two hundred years of their life in the Soul Society. Born to the legendary Ichigo Kurosaki and his Bankai mentor/ wife Yoruichi Shihoin/Kurosaki, they were extremely powerful for their age. Going through the academy in 3 years opposed to six, they broke the record previously set by Capitan Toshiro Hitsugaya of squad ten.

At the age of eighty they were already the fukutaichos of their respective squads and due for a promotion. Atlas became the new fukutaicho of squad eight, while Alex became fukutaicho of squad nine. Yamamoto was due to retire soon, because of the sacrificial kido that he used on Aizen and the Quincy. Thanks to the war with the Quincy the roles had yet to be filled hence the promotion. At this moment Yoruichi was filling in for vice-captain of squad two until a more suitable replacement for Omaeda while he recovered from Atlas's most recent beating.

Both brothers carried traits from their parents, some more prominent than others.

Alex had his mother's bright golden eyes and dark purple hair color, his medium length hair occasionally being done up in a traditional ponytail as per the custom of the Shihoin clan, though not required, as well as a slight tanning of his skin. His build was similar to his father's, however he was much taller at 6'9" compared to Ichigo's 6'1". His towering frame, well muscled body, as well as being highly skilled in Zanjutsu and Hakuda were things he attributed to his father.

Atlas on the other hand had his father's mocha brown eyes and a slightly darker orange hair color that looked similar to his father's when he had come back from training in the Dangai, only a bit more manageable. He was thinner than his brother but had an incredible grasp of Kido and Shunpo like his mother. Both had trained in the Shihoin estate since they were three years old, mastered their better arts by the age of twenty, and learned the names of their weapons at the age of forty for Atlas, and sixty for Alex.

Atlas's zanpakuto was known as Eikyō or Impact. It took the form of metal boots with what seemed to be thrusters in the soles, and heavy padded gloves for his hands. It's effect? Atlas was capable of breaking the different sound barriers from Mach one to Mach seven and delivering a hit with all of said force behind it. This made him the single fastest person in the Soul Society, six times as fast as his mother. His regular shunpo however, matched her and was completely silent like hers. Eikyō also allowed Atlas to control sound around him, making him undetectable even at his Mach five speeds, and the perfect assassin, or thief as he was in his earlier years. When sealed, Eikyō takes the form of a saw-toothed tanto, the back edge being jagged and the front razor sharp.

Alex grew up with only his left arm, his right being deformed and amputated when he was just a few months old. Despite this, Alex was able to master his arts with little difficulty. His zanpakuto fixed all of that. When he was sixty, he got an asauchi, or blank zanpakuto. When his hand first touched the handle, he automatically was thrown into his inner world, where his blade told him her name.

" Disassemble and reconstruct. Meka Hime." He whispered.

At that moment everyone in the room was blown away, revealing Alex with a bronze and steel right arm. AN#1. Despite it being metal, it was slightly warm to the touch and the first thing he did with it was embrace his mother with both arms and said 'Finally.'

Through experimentation and tests, they discovered that Meka Hime's sealed state was his arm, meaning it had no visible blade form and that Alex could use it like a normal limb. He later learned her release when he was eighty fighting Kenpachi Zaraki in a spar that would determine if he was ready for fukutaicho status. Right when Zaraki was about to end the match, Alex was pulled into his inner world and told to shout. "Unleash your power! Meka Hime!" After which he said, " Saisho no Kochiku-mono, Noshinto. (The first construct, Concussion)." Rolling out of the way of Zaraki's blade, Alex slammed his fist into the captain's gut and yelled "Parusu! (Pulse)." Knowing that the monster of squad eleven wouldn't stay down unless he was knocked out, Alex put as much power as he could muster into the attack. The resulting force caved Zaraki's chest in, breaking every one of his ribs, causing Zaraki to puke up blood before his eyes rolled back into his head, ending the match.

Currently Alex was getting dressed for the long day ahead of him. The head captain wanted to see him and Atlas as soon as possible. He didn't know the reason but he went along with it anyway.

On his way out he met with Atlas. "Morning Atlas."

"Morning Alex. So why do you think Yamamoto wants us?"

"I have no idea. Maybe it could finally be our trip to the living world. Remember we need a tour of duty there if we want to become captain."

"I hope so. I wonder where they will send us?"

"Only one way to find out. Come on, let's hurry."

-000-

"This meeting has been called in order to respond to a distress call from the world of the living. Yesterday at noon squad twelve received a transmission from an area called Shinto Teito, formerly known as Tokyo, Japan. The frequency was one that has not been used in over two hundred years, leading me to believe that our missing substitute could be in that area. Misters Kurosaki, you will be deployed to Shinto Teito immediately. However, I have some bad news. As the Gotei thirteen is still recovering, we will be more than likely unable to lend you aid if needed. In other words, you are on your own until your mission is complete. You both leave in 3 hours. This captains meeting is adjourned."

Back at the Shihoin estate, the brothers prepare the things they need for the trip. After making arrangements with the third seats of their respective squads, the two brothers went to meet with their godfather Kiskue Urahara for gigais that would allow them to interact with the human world. They did encounter a slight problem on Alex's part.

Turns out that Meka Hime does not like being hidden, so even in a gigai Alex had a mechanical arm that seemed somewhat out of place. I say somewhat because MBI was rather advanced in medical technology so except for the colors the arm could pass for another prosthetic.

They were also given two badges similar in design to their father's with the added benefit of being smaller, made of metal, and connected to a durable chain meant to be worn around the neck. Urahara also explained that they would be able to use their abilities in their gigais and that the necklace was unable to be lost, as it was literally coded to the gigai. Everything prepared, the two left for Shinto Teito.

Prologue end.

Okay, first thing I want to do give credit to the authors that gave me this inspiration. They would be; Liam G, BackwardsHazard, JohnHinde, and Jumping Jack Sprat for their awesome Sekirei/Bleach crossovers. I also have to give credit to IIIIII for the idea of a receding mask fragment. Seriously guys I couldn't have done this without your inspiration. ANY and ALL credit due is given to its rightful owners.

AN#1: Credit to Alex's arm inspiration goes to llazyad on deviant art. The concept is for a left arm but you get the picture. Link here. art/Hard-Surface-Mech-Arm-406528074

Second thing I want to say is rather important. This is my first fic that I will be posting on the site, and such I will try to keep the OCs as far from 'Gary-stu-ish' and 'Mary-sue-ish' as possible. I also will be putting in a maximum of 7 OCs, as too many can break a fic and most of the characters I want to use already exist. Please let me know if the characters are leaning in that direction and I will attempt to fix it.

Yeah, yeah, I know that I already set up a pairing, but Kusano is so adorable. I think that her powers go perfectly with Alex's given that they both create things, Alex from machines and Kusano from plants. I will do "The Green Girl" Arc later so not right away, but it gives you something to look forward to. Obviously no adult situations between these two, don't want to get flagged and arrested.

I also want to clear up that the arm Alex has is NOT the same as Edward Elric's from FMA/FMAB. I have always loved the concept of a cybernetic arm that can morph into weapons or tools to suit your needs, hence Alex's arm/zanpakuto. I highly recommend reading the stories that the above authors have written if you enjoyed this chapter in any way.

EDIT: Thanks to SKY KUROSAKI, i realize that a may have muffed up. in this story i am choosing to make the SS time go 7x faster than the RW. I do this to make the two brothers seem more experienced, but not arrogant with their powers, and allow me to use some of the original BLEACH cast. So for all intents and purposes, the story is set 29 RW years later, and 200 SS years later. hope that clarifies any more confusion. 'Sweatdrops'
