Bleach: Resurrected Souls
Chapter 6 Senken's War Begins: Mobilize the 13 Squads of the Soul Society
(Hakudo Gates)
"Die!" yelled out Hikonyūtō charging at Senken's 1st platoon with a group of soul reapers.
"Not today" said a group of resurrected thugs tripping the gate guardian causing the soul reapers to retreat.
"Die!" yelled out Danzōmaru charging at Senken's 2nd platoon with a group of soul reapers.
"Sorry but we cannot refuse Lord Senken's will" said a group of arrancar cutting down both the guardian and the soul reapers.
"Die!" yelled Kaiwan attacking Senken's 3rd platoon only to end up bombarded by a blast of ceros by Gillians.
(Behind the West Hakudo Gate-Ichigo's Assigned Station)
"Damn it all that fighting going on out there and we're just standing in here waiting for the inevitable" said Ichigo gripping onto his Zangetsu.
"If you guys think you got it bad I have to be the one to face the army platoon first and I don't think I'm going to survive" said Jidanbō from over the gate.
"Luckily Squad 4's right above us ready and waiting to give medical aide and with Orihime now on the squad I'd say the chances of war survival just increased" said Ichigo looking up at Unohana's zanpakuto Minazuki flying above the Soul Society.
(Behind the East Hakudo-Rukia's Assigned Station)
"Dance Sode no Shirayuki" said Rukia releasing her sword.
"Captain what are we to do? It seems the only gate that hasn't had its guardian defeated is the West Hakudo Gate" asked Izuru.
"Izuru take some men and try and gather as many men from the other swuads as possible" ordered Rukia.
"Yes Captain come on men you heard her" said Izuru taking some members of Squad 3 and began searching.
"As for the rest of you I want you to stay here and keep watch on the Gate I need to talk to the Head Captain" said Rukia walking up to the Head Captain who was surveying the chaos from above the Soul Society alongside Squad 4.
"Yes what is it Captain of Squad 3?" asked Yamamoto in a serious tone.
"Head Captain we need to organize ourselves properly while the other platoons of Senken's army are on standby and before his platoon reaches Ichigo's Assigned Station for some reason Senken has only ordered his army to dispose of the Gate Guardians so it's a perfect opportunity to reorganize ourselves into divisions" explained Rukia.
"Fine then make it so, here me all Squads and Squad Captains fall back and reform yourselves into battle divisions immediately" yelled out the Head Captain as he took out his zanpakuto.
"All things in the universe turn to ashes, Ryūjin Jakka" said Yamamoto releasing his zanpakuto causing flames to surround the outside of the gates.
"Hm interesting what could they be planning?" asked Senken from behind the flames.
(Meanwhile behind the gates everyone was getting reorganized)

"And now it begins Senken Fujin so you may now start your army's march but first grant me this one request" said Yamamoto opening the gates.
"What would that be old man?" asked Senken.
"Remove your mask so we may see the true face of our enemy" ordered Yamamoto.
"Sure thing ya old fart I was getting a little stuffy in it anyway" said Senken crushing his mask with his bare fist revealing the face of a young man with black wavy hair, crystal coloured eyes and pale skin.
"Hollows advance" said Senken Fujin snapping his fingers ionce more causing the Gillians and Adjuches to advance forward crushing the gates under their feet.
"Division 1, advance forward and dispose of the hollow resistance, Division 2 remain on standby!" ordered Yamamoto as he and the division he was put in charge of watched from the sky.
"Bankai, Senbonzakura Kageyoshi" said Byakuya dropping his zanpakuto causing a thousand blades to rise up from the ground and shatter producing endless amounts of more blades which began cutting through dozens of Gillians.
"Ban-Kai, Hihiō Zabimaru now die!" yelled Renji swiping at a large group of Gillians.
"Extend Hōzukimaru , Come on I'll kill every single one of ya!" yelled Ikkaku shredding through the Adjuchas.
"Reap, Kazeshini and dispose of the enemies in front of you" said Shūhei manifesting his dual zanpakuto and began spinning the blades in rapid motion by their connector chain to slice through hollows of both Gillian and Adjuchas class.
"Crush them, Gegetsuburi" said Ōmaeda manifesting his mace-like zanpakuto and swung it at some Gillians causing them to fall backwards.
"Damn it!" yelled Tetsuzaemon dodging a cero bombardment then moved in to slash the hollows.
"Bite, Gonryōmaru and destroy your enemy" said Chōjirō releasing his zanpakuto and cutting through the hollows.
"Growl, Haineko and slice the enemy" said Rangiku releasing her zanpakuto as it turned to ash and covered a group of Gillians and Adjuchas. Slicing their heads off
"Damn it Senken's sending in more hollows every time and each time they're stronger than the last batch but what I'm wondering about is why he isn't seding in his resurrected arancar or criminal platoons" said Uryu firing thousands of arrows at once from his solid bow.
"He might be saving them for something but I wish I knew what it was" said Chad continuing to punch hollows to the ground and snapping their necks.
"Hopefully Ichigo and everyone here might figure it out" said Uryu continuing to destroy hollows.
"Three Gillians left one for each of us" said Ichigo slashing one in half.
"Not much of a contest but die bastard!" said Kenpachi continuously slashing the hollow until it collapsed.
"Calm down Kenpachi" said Sajin releasing Tenken and crushing the last Gillian.
"Finally our part is over, Alright Senken what's next?" asked Ichigo in an exhausted tone using his zanpakuto to support himself.
"What's next is this" said Senken snapping his fingers which dispelled the rest of his unholy army which caused everyone to surround Senken.
"You've released your unholy army Senken but the question is why you've now officially left yourself open to our assaults" explained Yamamoto
"Do you honestly think I would release my army without a good reason, the fact is the army I used to charge the Society was just a ruse to throw you fools off your guard when in reality you've been helping me to build my army" said Senken in with an evil grin.
"What are you babbling about?" asked Ichigo in an enraged tone.
"Yes explain" said Rukia pointing her zanpakuto in Senken's direction.
"As I'm sure many of you are aware I am neither hollow, soul reaper or hybrid when in reality I'm actually a recycled by product of the Hōgyoku's creation and as such I have absorbed it's abilities one of which is the ability of Hollowfication and Arrancarification so behold" said Senken walking out of the surrounding circle of soul reapers and exploded in a burst of eregy causing the graveyard of Gillians and Adjuchas to transform into Arrancars.
"Exactly how many hollows did we destroy again?" asked Rangiku in fear.
"Between a thousand and two tousand" said Toshiro watching the display.
"From this day forth the two worlds you know shall cease to exist welcome to my nightmare!" yelled out Senken in a maniacle laugh.
"Everyone separate and engage the enemy throughout the Seireitei but leave Senken to me, Squad 3 Captain Rukia Kuchiki, Squad 5 Captain Ichigo Kurosaki and Squad 9 Captain Kenrichi Yabureme you and your Lieutenants are to stay with me" ordered Yamamoto as everyone else engaged in battle except for the six that were ordered to stay behind.
"As you can see I have complete domination over the hollows I control, you have no chance of survival" said Senken snickering.
"Tell me something Senken is your plan to follow Aizen's footsteps and start a whole new army?" asked Ichigo gripping his sword.
"There's no point in revealing that" said Senken in an arrogant tone.
"And why not?" asked Ichigo further enraged.
"Because you'll all die here and now" said Senken manifesting two zanpakuto which he held in each hand.
"Don't mess with me!" yelled Yamomoto tossing his haori to the ground below and drew his zanpakuto.
"Come at me with everything you have but lets first take this else where" said Senken in a cocky tone as he led the Head Captain and his group higher above the Soul Society.
"You'll regret those words boy, all things in the universe turn to ashes, Ryūjin Jakka" said Yamamoto releasing his zanpakuto causing rising flames to surround Senken and the others.
"So this is the legendary Ryūjin Jakka, there are very few that can withstand its immensely scorching flames but luckily I'm ones of those few" said Senken charging at Yamamoto.
oOo
"Captain how much longer are we going to run away?" asked Ōmaeda following Soi Fon through the long winding allyways and away from a large fleet of arrancar.
"Right now!" yelled Soi Fon plunging her zanpakuto into the ground summoning the Punishment Force and ripped through all but two arrancar.
"Time to split up Ōmaeda" said Soifon as one of the two remaining followed her.
"Right Captain" said Ōmaeda facing the other arrancar.
oOo
"Isane, I want you and Orihime to take what Squad Members are available and heal those who were injured during the hollow attack we need all the help we can get right now, meanwhile I'll join the other Captains on the battlefield" ordered Unohana in her calm tone of voice.
"Yes Captain, alright men we're moving out, Orihime can I count on you for backup if we end up in a fight?" asked Isane traveling alongside Orihime as they led the squad through the war zone.
"Yes you can Isane but I don't know what good I'll be since the power of my Koten Zanshun's power all depends on how strong my will to kill my opponent is and unfortunately I don't have that" explained Orihime.
"I know and since you lack that will you'll just have to improvise somehow" explained Isane.
"Right" said Orihime in a confident tone.
"Improvising is a good idea for the weaklings" said a lone arrancar approaching the 4th Division.
"Everyone stay back!" ordered Orihime taking a stance.
"Yes 4th Seat Inoue" said the Squad members.
oOo
"Senbonzakura Kageyoshi" said Byakuya releasing his bankai and sending the millions of blades at the arrancar horde only to have them deflected.
"Is that the best a Captain can do? If that's so then you boys won't survive five minutes against us" said one of the lead arrancar as he fired a cero at Byakuya.
"Hadō #4 Byakurai" said Byakuya firing a chain of lightning from his fingertips that cut through the cero and devastated a large portion of the force.
"Is Senken trying to mess with our heads his supposed Arrancar army is a joke they're nothing but weaklings not to mention they don't even have resurreccion forms from what we've seen" said Renji in a cocky tone.
"I have a feeling he's sent these weaker arrancar after us to assess our abilities and what he needs to improve upon" said Byakuya looking up at the surrounding flames of the Head Captain's shikai.
"Well if that's the case IU say we let him see what we got now Roar, Zabimaru!" yelled Renji releasing his sword and clashing with an arrancar.
oOo
"So tell me Uryu do you have an ingenious plan to get us out of this?" asked Chad punching out one arrancar only to have another take it's place.
"I wish I did unfortunately my spirit energy is running low and these arrancars just keep coming but something's wrong these arrancars aren't even at the level of a lieutenant what's going on here and what are you planning Senken?" asked Uryu talking to himself in his mind.
"Hey Uryu you still with me?" asked Chad continuing to fight on.
"Ya and unfortunately Chad at the moment I have no idea how to get us out of this but then again this is war there are no plans, the only thing that matters is survival" said Uryu as he unleashed a barrage of arrows.
"If that's the case then I better not waste any time" said Chad slamming his fists together as both his arms transformed and extended all the way to his body and then further manifesting a mask with horns.
"Chad are you still?" Asked a shocked Uryu.
"Don't worry I'm still on your side but I have to act quickly this form is hard to maintain for long periods of time" said Chad in a raspy hollow voice as he began attacking again with powerful thrusts.
oOo
"Did you just feel that sudden outburst of spiritual pressure Captain?" asked Tetsuzaemon in a slight fear.
"Yes it appears Ichigo's friend Yasutora Sado has gained a new level of strength but what I'm curious about is how he regained his abilities in the first place, I thought he lost them to revive Ichigo's Soul Reaper powers but oh well time to focus" said Sajin slamming down on the arrancars with his shikai's giant spectral sword arm.
"Take this!" yelled Tetsuzaemon attacking with a flurry of zanjutsu and Kidō.
(Toshirō and Rangiku)
"Captain…was that really Chad's spiritual pressure?" asked Rangiku clashing with an arrancar.
"It was but I don't know how it could be so frightening good thing aboiut it though is that it has the enemy spooked so, Reign Over the Frosted Heavens, Hyōrinmaru!" said Toshiro releasing his zanpakuto and began freezing the arrancar forces.
"Growl, Heineko!" yelled Rangiku releasing her zanpakuto as it turned to dust and cut through the frozen forces.
oOo
"Hell ya, come on boys it's party time tonight!" yelled Kenpachi as he led his squad into an all out blood crazed assault which ended with thousands of arrancar corpses in minutes.
"Hell ya it's time to cut you bastards in half!" yelled Ikkaku as he began stabbing the arrancar forces at rapid speeds with Hozukimaru.
"Time for me to cut loose in a beautiful way" said Yumichika as he sliced away with his Fuji Kujaku.
"Alright go everyone it's the greatest contest ever!" screeched Yachiru in excitement.
oOo
"Captain are you ready? The arrancar forces are approaching the front gates" asked Nemu standing just outside the open doors of the Institute.
"Yes, Yes I'm coming Nemu, you stupid girl" said Mayuri stepping out of the Institute with a gun in hand and a containment unit strapped to his back.
"Here thery come sir" said Nemu as the arrancar forces came rushing at the Institute.
"Do you think I don't know that you idiotic clump of flesh" said Mayuri firing the gun causing a black beam to strike and disintegrate a large portion of the attacking force.
"Once again I've proven my superior genius, by harnessing the power of the Squad 5 Captain's hollow and focusing its energy into a gun blast I'm able to destroy anything with a similar spiritual composition" said Mayuri in a self satisfied tone as he fired again.
oOo
"Captain Kyoraku, Captain Ukitake they're here" said Nanao pushing up her glasses looking at the approaching arrancar.
"Flower Wind Rage and Flower God Roar, Heavenly Wind Rage and Heavenly Demon Sneer, Katen Kyōkotsu" said Shunsui releasing his dual bladed Zanpakuto.
"All Waves, Rise now and Become my Shield, Lightning, Strike now and Become my Blade Sōgyo no Kotowari" said Jushiro releasing his dual bladed Zanpakuto
"Ready Jushiro?" asked Shunsui with a smile.
"Ready Shunsui" said Jushiro as the two of them charged the battle.
oOo
"I must admit the strength of the 13 Court Guard Squads is more impressive than I anticipated but then again that's why I called upon the weakest of hollows to make these arrancar even if they were all Gillians and Adjuchas class Menos" said Senken smiling as he broke away from his clash with Yamamoto.
"What's your game Senken, you invade the Soul Society, attack us with weak level arrancar soldiers and yet you still boast that you've won what is it your after!" yelled Ichigo pointing his blade in Senken's direction.
"Weren't you listening Captain Kurosaki, I'm doing this to evaluate your strengths and weaknesses and to see how I can ensure that I make zero mistakes in the execution of my plans and to do that I need to know how strong my army truly needs to be in order to completely wipe this place from the face of history!" Yelled Senken at he top of his lungs.
"A new empire…How foolish of you" said Yamamoto preparing to attack.
"Hold on old man, allow me and Shuhei to take your place you, Ichigo, Rukia, Momo and Izuru just worry about finding an opening when it's available" said Kenrichi stepping forward.
"Reap, Kazeshini" said Shuhei releasing his zanpakuto.
"Are you sure about this?" asked Ichigo In confusion.
"Ichigo, have faith in us and you just keep watch foran opening" said Shuhei smiling.
"Alright, Momo prepare for anything" said Ichigo in a serious tone.
"Yes Captain" said Momo standing in a combat position.
"Izuru, prepare yourself we may need Wabisuke's power to hopefully increase the weight on those two blades Senken's holding" said Rukia positioning herself into a dance formation.
"Yes Captain now Raise your head, Wabiskue" said Izuru releasing his shikai.
"So the Captain of Squad 9 is the first to challenge me well then come on!" yelled Senken demanding a fight.
"Crackle and Strike, Ikazuchinaito" said Kenrichi releasing his zanpakuto which took the form of a yellow blade with a spiky hilt of the same color and blue spikes protruding from the grip handle.
"Captain…" said Shuhei in amazement.
"Impressive display Squad 9 Captain but what can it do is the real question" said Senken in a sadistic tone.
"As it's name suggests Ikazuchinaito is an electricity type zanpoakuto which draws upon an electrical current and by manipulating that energy I can unleash it in the form of full forced electrical blasts" explained Kenrichi.
"Then lets see this power!" demanded Senken.
"Very well, Furea-Raikou!" Yelled Kenrichi sending a burst of blinding lightning energy at Senken.
"Impressive light show but as you can see I still have the upper hand" said Senken cutting through the blinding lightning blast with his dual swords.
"I've still got plenty more where that came from!" yelled Kenrichi as he began to cross blades with Senken.
"I'm still waiting for thee other tricks" said Senken as he began to push Kenrichi backwards.
"Look behind you" said Kenrichi as if on cue Shuhei sent his Kazeshini spinning in Senken's direction.
"Foolish tactic" said Senken deflecting the rapidly spinning Kazeshini with one blade while still maintaining his ground against Kenrichi with the other.
"Shuhei look out!" yelled Kenrichi as the spinning blades were redirected at the Squad 9 Lieutenant.
"I got it Captain" said Shuhei pulling on Kazeshini's chain regaining control of the problem.
"Good now lets see if you can handle this Senken, Erekutorikku-Kyojin" said Kenrichi as two astral, electrified fists punched Senken with great force, breaking him away from his sword clash with the captain.
"Well that was rather unexpected but I'm not done yet time for round 2" said Senken wiping the blood from his nose.
oOo
(Karakura Town-Vizard Warehouse)
"Ready to face them again Yoruichi?" asked Kisuke as the two old friends stood just outside the Vizard Warehouse.
"Ya" said Yoruichi as they headed inside.
oOo
"Well Well Well, Kisuke Urahara and Yoruichi Shihoin to what do we owe this unexpected pleasure?" asked Shinji Hirako as the warehouse door closed behind Kisuke and Yoruichi and a light turned on revealing the other Vizards.
"I've come offering you all a proposition that I guarantee you will not pass up" said Kisuke looking up at the Vizards from his hat.
"Heh pretty big words Kisuke but then again you always have a habit of knowing about events ahead of time so I guess you have the right to talk big" said Hiyori spitting on the ground.
"And your just as lady-like as ever Hiyori" said Kisuke smiling under his hat.
"Cut the chit chat Kisuke and just tell us what you're offering" said Kensei in an irritated tone.
"Help the 13 Court Guard Squads defeat Senken Fujin and in return I'll personally see to it that you're hollow powers are completely removed" said Kisuke in his serious voice which caused a mixture of fear and shock among the Vizards.
"You've got to be joking Kisuke are you telling me you've discovered a process capable of removing our inner hollows?" yelled out Lisa in a frantic voice.
"Yes but I'll only do the procedure if you help avert this attack from getting any worse" said Kisuke looking at them from under his hat.
"Kisuke….Where is Ichigo?" asked Shinji in a straight forward tone.
oOo
(Soul Society Battlefield-Senken vs. Kenrichi)
"Hageshii-raiu Ry!" yelled Kenrichi as he pointed his blade at the sky creating a thunder cloud which manifested an attacking thunder dragon.
"Is that the best you can do!" yelled Senken stopping the dragon's advance with one of his swords.
"Now" ordered Yamamoto.
"Right" said Ichigo as he, Momo, Rukia and Izuru charged at Senken.
"Take this!" yelled Izuru continuously smashing down on Senken and his dual blades.
"I know about your zanpakuto's abilities Lieutenant Kira and it will not work on my blades since they were forged from a combination of my spiritual energy and my mind so take this Lieutenants!" yelled Senken curtting diown Izuru, Momo and Shuhei.
"Momo no!" yelled Ichigo catching Momo in his arms before she fell to the ground.
"Captain…if your truly prepared to…replace my former captain then….show no mercy and…destroy him" said Momo holding her bloodied side.
"Right" said Ichigo returning to the battle.
"Now that I've disposed of your lieutenants there's nothing getting in our way" said Senken smiling.
"Rukia, Kenrichi it's time to stop holding back" said Ichigo approach the front of the group.
"Right" they said together.
