Negai awoke to find himself in the sickbay of Squad Four "Ugh… What happened..?" he looked around.

"You're here in the sickbay of Squad Four." Unohana spoke, walking in.

"Captain Unohana. Pleasant surprise to meet you." he said.

"I've noticed something, you've never been here before. An because of that, you've never had your shots…" she said, looking through a record.

"Eh?! Stay away from me if you're gonna use those needles!" he said, backing away quickly.

"Oh come on, it won't hurt." she said, walking over to him with the needles in her hands. She walked over to him, and he backed up against a wall.

"Damnit! Nowhere to run!" he thought, panicking. Without him even noticing, she had already pierced his skin with the needles, injecting the medication that he needed. He calmed down "Wow, fast work. I didn't even notice you."

"That's just how fast I work." she smiled and left. Negai sighed and stood up, heading outside, wondering what to do next…

"Damn that bastard… He got me cut up badly…" Keiji thought, fighting Menos Grandes, random Hollows, and a few Arrancar that he found getting in the way. Slowly, his Spiritual Pressure was beginning to get more dense, flattening those around him without a problem. "I will get stronger and then fight him again… I'll keep fighting until he dies, even if I die with him. I will still kill him!" he thought, continuing his endless, pointless fights.

"I think you should stop…" Aizen walked in out of nowhere.

"Oh and why should I?" he asked.

"Because you'll end up killing my forces and I'll have no army for the Shinigami to struggle against." he answered calmly.

"Oh, and what're you going to do about it?" Keiji smirked, his Spiritual Pressure beginning to strengthen.

"Hm, your Spiritual Pressure seems to increase the more opponents you kill…" he said.

"Hm, seems so." Keiji shrugged. "Why do you ask?" he looked at Aizen.

"Because it's important for me to know certain things about allies." Aizen answered, walking away.

Hell Butterflies spread out, reporting a certain message to all Captains and Vice Captains. "Attention, this is Soul Society's 259th Anniversary Tournament. The winner of this will receive a year's worth of food and supplies for their Squad. All Captains and Vice Captains must attend." was the message.

Kesenai sighed "This is going to be a drag…" He looked to see Momo Hinamori getting ready. "You can sit this out." he said.

"Why should I?" she looked at him.

"Because I know what happened. The fact that your own Captain betrayed you before, as well as nearly dying because of him. You can sit out if that's your wish." he answered.

"Thank you for your concern, but I will try to move on. So try to focus on winning the tournament for our Squad." she said.

"Fine then." he shrugged. He then walked outside, looking around, wondering what he should do first. He sighed and began walking toward the Sokyouku Hill, as if searching for something when he was just actually wandering around.

"Oh so you finally arrived." a voice said.

"Huh?" he looked behind him.

"I'm over here…" the voice said, trailing from right behind him.

He turned to look, and saw that it was just Renji Abarai "Oh, hello."

"I'm challenging you to a battle." he said.

"Huh? Why?" he seemed confused.

"Because you're a new Captain, and I would love to see your power." Renji smirked.

"Ugh, fine." Negai sighed. "Engarde." he said, backing away from him while unsheathing his Zanpaku-to. Renji took his out.

"Roar! Zabimaru!" he said, his sword now releasing itself into it's Shikai form. Negai yawned, unimpressed by the Shikai. Renji swung his sword, his sword now moving in a snake-like movement. Negai parried the first hit, which swung right over his head, next was a stab-like movement, so Negai jumped over it, then landed on the sword. Then, Renji swung again to shake him off. Sadly, Negai wasn't shaken off. He yawned and pointed two fingers at Renji's left leg.

"I guess this is all you can do… Path of Destruction Number Four, Byakurai…" the ray of light pierced Renji's leg. Renji fell to his left knee, struggling with trying to keep standing up. He got up anyway and shook Negai off his Zabimaru, swinging his sword again, the sword finally slashing into Negai's left arm. "Damnit!" Negai cursed under his breath. The sword returned back to the way it began before moving around like a snake. Negai smirked "You might actually be worth some of my time then…" his Spiritual Pressure beginning to increase it's density.

"Why so serious?" Renji smirked.

"Oh no reason, I just want this fight to be over quickly." he answered, his Zanpaku-to beginning to crack.

"You're dying?" Renji seemed confused.

"No… Shikai… Rein… Tsuirakukyohaku…" he whispered, his sword now completely destroying itself, the metallic dust now flying everywhere. "Get ready, Mr. Abarai… You're going to see the Shikai that you probably wanted to see…" he smirked, taking fight stance as the metallic dust flew into the air, forming as many blades as the eye could see. The blades then descended floating around Negai in a hemisphere like shape, leaving a bunch of openings for himself to see the opponent. "Are you ready? Abarai?" he asked.

"Yeah." he replied, taking battle stance. The both of them had the look that said "I'm going to kill you" to each other, meaning they weren't going to give up so easily nor for any strange reason. Just until the other falls…
