Chapter four: Battling with unknown forces

Captain Kurotsuchi studied and analyzed everything on the unknown baby. He learned as long as Soifon lived, it lived. It put her in a rather light sleep. But she could never be awakened from it as long as the creature existed. He read his diagnostics over and over. He couldn't understand it; the creature was formed to look human. Has the strength of more than a lieutenant. But it still hasn't done anything but breathe.
"Was there another part to this process? What could I have missed?"
But a head full of orange hair flashed into his eyes as he was staring off into space. Thinking over and over to himself he ran over more test results, anything he thought he missed.


No one intended on telling Ichigo anything, so he had done his own research. He visited Soifon in squad 4's barracks; to what he seen and heard what happened he began to wonder.
Not only wonder about how or why this was happening to Soifon, but to see how much power it'd be to take her down. Immediately he left without notice into the human world to find Yoruichi. Having no trouble with running into any undead he finds Yoruichi near his home. She was perched over a building and keeping a watch out. She slowly explained everything she knew, and what happened. After she was done he asked about Kisuke, but whenever something comes up he's never really around and he knew something was off when Kisuke wasn't to be seen of. Yoruichi explained Kisuke went on a vacation again, but who really knows what that meant. She gave Ichigo some places to check out. But he didn't feel anyone of them give off a bell. But until the last one Yoruichi said.

"Or, sometimes when he says vacations he usually goes down into his basement and invents things?"
Immediately he took off before Yoruichi could ask anything on Soifon's condition.


"The creature was just a decoy for the actual thing, huh? Either Aizen or one of the arrancars planned to use 'undead' as a decoy for the real monster. Why would you keep this a secret-"

"I did not? I simply knew it was one of their tactics to destroy us. I simply thought they'd never use such a horrible creature. But I'll explain. Now listen because we're running out of time.
As long as we paid attention to the baby, their planned worked. Whoever it was, was hoping that the head commander would send in all the captains for how many 'undead' there were. Instead they sent Soifon and Yoruichi and as long as it reached the soul society, their plan was set. One was enough, because they had planned for a deformation of a creature unknown but the creature would first trap the decoys body and transform its self. The creature was made to destroy the Gotei 13 and head captain commander. First by whipping out all the shinigami's zanpaktou's and then using their spiritual pressure they gave, to gain more strength. It would keep the decoys body the same, but it would take over their Zanpaktou they had and anything that they bit. It being Soifon, with her Suzembachi her sting would be far more deadly than it was before. She'll be becoming stronger and swifter. The undead's bite was really deadly that if you were bitten. So I guess that would pretty much sum it up for now."

"How do I destroy this thing then?"
"You cannot. You can merely help, but that's about it."
"Then who can stop this?-"

"I can." Yoruichi had come out of hiding and knew it was her to destroy it.

"But how? "

"Ichigio, like I said. You can merely help. The only way to destroy it is something very close to the one who is being transformed into this creature, and that would be Yoruichi. Who ever created it was very greedy and smart when they made the army of undead."
"So, Yoruichi will have to kill Soifon?"
"NO!"
"ActuallyYoruichi yes you would. There are two options, 1 is you spilt the body away from the black energy and heal the body up. Before it enters the wounds again were its safe. 2 you kill both the person and the creature together. But option 1 is tricky; you have to be careful when separating them. If anything forces its way into the black energy, it will cause a loss that can't be healed. That would either be vision, hearing, smell, taste, and touch.

Both didn't want to know how he knew and why. But immediately Yoruichi and Ichigo notify the Head Captain Commander. But he already knows the choice Yoruichi made. But he says if it fails, she has only that last option.

"I promise I will not fail."

She and Ichigo both go after Soifon. Warning everyone to be prepared for something destructive when they ran past. The closer Yoruichi got Soifon could hear her but all she can do is sob.

"I want to see Yoruichi, I want to hold Yoruichi.
But I can't!" Tears run down her face but Soifon doesn't feel a thing. She doesn't even know she's crying.

Once they'd reached the room she was being kept in, Soifon was still surrounded by the black ring. Her body still lay untouched and the room left in a rotting smell.

"It's okay my Soifon, stay strong. Don't you cry but you fight. We're going to need your help. You need to use all your strength to push yourself out, okay? I know you can hear me, baby bee. Once you start to feel what you're in untighten start pushing your way out. Do it quickly baby bee, because I miss you, so much.'

As Ichigo ready's himself to go into bankai form Yoruichi fears if he can't do it she'll have to use Shunko. But even then she doesn't know. All she knows is her baby bees there, and she wants her back. With the spiritual pressure from the two rises and rise the creature sucks it in, loosening Soifons trapped place. Immediately she felt it and pushed herself out with all she has. She can't use bankai but she can move was all that mattered. Both Ichigo and Yoruichi saw Soifons head move outward as if she was placed in a replica doll of herself.
"Come on Soifon, you can do it!"
Yoruichi couldn't do much but Ichigo could. He used his hollowfication to add more spiritual pressure. And it loosened what Soifon was trapped in more and more.
Soifon pushed and gives all her strength. With her body half way out and Ichigo going to lose control soon. Yoruichi yells at Soifon to push harder! The more she yelled was the more Soifon wanted to see her. The more strength pushed in her to feel her Yoruichi.
Then suddenly Yoruichi's ears hear what she hoped wouldn't happen.

"Bankai"'

"NO! Ichigo! Don't she's not separated yet!"

It was already too late; his Getsuga Tensho already hit the black ring. Suddenly it spit out Soifon and Yoruichi immediately ran after her. Right after that Ichigo battled with the black energy it tried passing him to reach Soifon, but he'd cut it off from swinging his sword.
Yoruichi knew it wasn't safe to stay in the same place as that thing. She asked Captain Unohana to follow her into the Human World. She refused at first, but once she felt the spiritual pressure from Ichigo and the creature. She called for Isane to assist any injured.
The Head Commander already allowed them to pass through the Senkiamon.
Ichigo lashing out on the creature he already sees it slowing down in attacks.

Maybe if they got farther away, it'd die out faster.

He battled and battled with the thing. It had no face, no nothing. It was like a black ring of smoke. It died down faster than he'd thought. With Yoruichi and Soifon in the human world it had no certainty for a safe place. When it had died out it returned to its replica of Soifons body and turned to ash. Kurotsuchi wanted really badly to do tests on the thing, but it was too dangerous and late. Not much damage was made and the head captain notified everyone. That the outbreak in the human world has been cleansed and thanking everyone for their hard work and effort.


A/N: Yeah I have no clue at all, probably lousy explanation of their uses of abilities and everything. I'm just trying my best to upload the whole thing before its due date.
