Part III: The old newcomer

Part III: The revelation

Soon as Maki arrived at Soul Society he was quickly informed by General Yamamoto about the situation concerning Aizen's betrayal that happened only a few days ago. At that time the situation was handled as a normal case. General Yamamoto also said that he was to be assigned to squad 11. As another punishment he may never rise up the ranks to be either a lieutenant or a captain.

When Maki arrived at the Squad 11 barracks no one welcomed him. Everybody just ignored Maki. Until one day that Maki became the butt of all jokes. Everybody did notice him and teased him for he had been on the squad for quite a while and still didn't rank up. But still… no one knew his real power… His training, His skills and His knowledge was kept secret from the other shinigamis.

Until one day Maki had enough of it… He then went to General Yamamoto and said "General Yamamoto…. may I please kill this one person… He had broken many rules…. he disrespects me… he had helped the hollows…". "Well Maki… I can see it in your eyes… You have thought of this deeply and you are very certain of it… It is only because I have a huge trust in you that I am allowing you to do it… but, as soon as I find out that this is only for your pleasure I will banish you from Soul Society" General Yamamoto said. "Thank you Genral Yamamoto" Maki Replied.

When Maki arrived at the squad 11 barracks he then challenged Yanchku Kawakara, the 6th seat of squad 11. Before the battle Maki said everything that Kawakara did. "Yanchku! I know your secret! I know that you let hollows live.. I know that you have secret meetings with Aien's subordinates. I will show you no mercy…" Maki said. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, Maki… what can you possibly do to me? I mean your like the lowest rank in our squad! You can never beat me!" Yanchku bravely said.

In a split second Maki released his zanpakuto and did a shunpo to Yanchku's back and hit his neck affecting the spinal chord. Yanchku died, everyone was in awe. Maki then revealed that he has the power to manipulate earth and he had went under special training and his skills are enough to tie with Zaraki Kenpachi.

Now everyone that teased him quickly apologized. Everyone respected him and looked up to him as a Captain.
