I don't own Bleach or Murder Melody

"How do you know me?" Rangiku asked. The 7th General smirked as he dodged another swing from Kenpachi. He raised his hand and pointed his middle and index fingers at Kenpachi. A small spark erupted at their tips and Kenpachi froze in place. He then dodged a blow from Hitsugaya and pointed his right index finger at him.

"Bakudo #1 Sai," he said binding the Captain of the tenth completely in place. He smiled and began to walk towards Rangiku drawing his blade. "Don't tell me you don't remember," he mocked, "We used to be so very close Ran-Ran."

"Wha! Ran-Ran!?" Rangiku said in surprised before getting back into her serious face, "only one person called me that. Sensuke Yamada." The man smiled and took off his hood.

General of the 7thMilitarial Regiment- Senosuke Yamada

"What's the matter Ran-Ran? Did you miss me?" he asked coming closer.

"Not on your life you pedofile!" she screamed.

"It does not matter," Senosuke said, "I'll kill you soon. Y'know that was one of my favorites you just killed. She'll be so hard to replace."

"You won't need once since you'll be- uhg!" she cried. In shock she looked down to see a blade stabbing her stomach with Senosuke's hand on the hilt.

"Don't talk so much. It'll just get you killed," Senosuke explained as he pulled the blade out of Rangiku and she fell towards the. "Not good at all."

Tides of Fate Chapter 6

Come into the Dark

Two figures jumped across the buildings looking for their allies. "How you holding up, Lietenant?" Shinji called back to Heito.

"I'm doing fine, ugh," he replied clenching a chest wound, "well by that I mean I'm not bleeding to death, yet." Shinji nodded as they continued on. After a couple minutes he noticed 3 figures heading towards the edge of the city.

"There!" he said to Heito, "Those look like ours. Come on!" They flashed stepped over to the group and saw it was Shu and his group.

"Captain Hirako, Heito!" Shu said. He quickly planted his feet on the ground and skidded to a stop. Rukia and Renji did the same thing. He smiled and walked over to them. "So, how are you guys?" he asked.

"Heito needs medi-" Shinji began.

"I'll do it!" Shu so quickly volunteered grabbing Heito by the collar jumping down the building and a few seconds after they jumped the group above heard the sound of a window breaking.

"*sigh* That kid has problems," Shinji said.

Inside

"Ok, where's the injury?" Shu asked in complete seriousness. Heito pointed to the left of his chest where it was bleeding and Shu could see the blood on his shihaksho. Narrowing his eyes he nodded. "Alright, roll up your shirt I'm gonna need to be able to access the wound," Shu told him. Heito nodded and reached for the rim of his top before giving a half smile.

"How do I know this won't quickly escalate?" he asked. Shu snorted amusedly.

"You make it sound like we're actually dating," he said. Heito chuckled a bit before he rolled up his shirt showing only the part where the wound was and Shu began healing kido.

"Yeah thanks for pretending to do that by the way," Heito said.

"No problem, what are best friends for?" Shu replied, "Ugh this thing's nasty. How'd you get it?"

"Some dud who moved like a snake got a good hit in. I probably would have died if Captain Hirako hadn't shown up and messed up the dude's senses so we could escape," Heito explained. After a bit Shu stopped the healing and inspected what was left of the wound. A fairly good size bruise but nothing was bleeding.

"This is the best I can do. I'm decent but I'm sure not a member of Squad 4. We're going to need to get you to Captain Yamada or Lieutenant Kotetsu. Until then I don't suggest getting into andy fights or it may reopen," he told Heito. Heito nodded and rolled down his shirt and started to stand back up.

"Hey you two ain't tryin' to go and have a good time down there are ya?" they heard Shinji's voice say, "You can do it later we need to get going!"

"Oh, I don't know, Captain Hirako," Shunre called back, "We may have some more time if you come down to help!" They could feel his blush from down there.

"I-I'm good" Shinji replied. Heito and She laughed as they headed towards the building's elevator and rode it to the top floor.

"Shu," Heito said getting his attention, "What was the purpose of you slinging us down here? Couldn't you have healed me just as well on the roof?"

"Just wanted to give you some privacy," he replied.

"Oh."

"That and it made me look cool."

"Of course."

When the elevator dinged on the top floor they heard a loud boom just above them shaking the building. Looking at each other Shu quickly blasted a hole in the roof and they jumped out. On the roof Rukia, Renji, and Shinji were fighting against an unknown assailant. He wore the regular attire that most of the other Shinigami of the Neo-Soul Society wore, a White shihaksho. Shu also noticed that he had a small badge with the kanji for 3 (三)san on his chest. His face was very angular with dirty blonde hair and green eyes. He was very slender as well and held his sword with his right hand. Realizing he was an enemy Shu pointed his finger at the man and shot a Byakurai at him. The attacker stared at it lazily and just leaned to the side.

"How pathetic," he said.

"If I may be so blunt, who might you be?" Shu questioned running up to the others with Heito.

"I am the 3rd Seat of the 3rd Militarial Regiment, Ibeka Mordecai," he answered landing on the building, "I have been given orders to dispose of most of you." He pointed his Zanpakto at him and Heito noticed it wasn't like most. It was shaped like a thin-bladed rapier with a golden guard.

"Look at his Zanpakto. It's not a Japanese sword like Aimee's," he whispered to the group. Shu nodded in agreement.

Shinji narrowed his eyes, "Kinda weird. Usually they're similar to katana's, wakazashi, and the occasional tanto. Don't get it at all."

Ibeka smirked, "I can hear you. Y'know this isn't a Zanpakto. It's just a sword made of reishi. That's all. Doesn't mean it's any less capable of matching up to you." Right after saying that he charged at the group getting to Renji first and bringing his sword down. Renji blocked it and kicked Ibeka in the chest causing him to real back, He clutched his chest and charged back at Renji their blades clashing for a bit. Shu showed up and kicked Ibeka's side. Renji jumped back and Shu got into a stance. Ibeka growled and wiped some blood of his lip. He charged at Shu swinging his blade. Shu delivered a round-house kick to the chest. Ibeka grabbed it before he could finish his chamber. Clenching his teeth Shu swung his left arm behind him a cable coming out from under his sleeve. He then swing his arm Ibeka's neck wrapping the cable around it shocking him. Ibeka quickly swung his blade to try and break the cable but Shu pulled it tight a crack going off showing Ibeka's neck broke. His face was in pure shock as he quickly went limp Shu falling down in the process due to the grip on his leg. He sighed in annoyance and got out of the position rubbing himself off.

"Let's go," he told them. The group nodded but just as they were about to leave they heard Ibeka, singing. When his neck should have been broken.

"Narcisistic, Antisocial, all these things you say make me loco," they heard as he got up his neck just really hanging there. All of their eyes widened in shock. "Masochistic, suicidal, all these things you say make me hom-i-ci-dal." He smiled evilly and dropped his sword raising his head.

"Go, now," Shu told them.

"Go where, good sir?" a new voice asked. They all turned around surprised to see a new figure joining them. It was Kio. "The show has just begun.

Meanwhile in Muken

"Haha! This is great!" one of the escaped prisoners yelled rubbing his wrists smiling. "Now we can finally make those damn Shinigami pay for locking us in here!" Another prisoner walked up and smiled.

"I know what you mean. Oh, Kami I hope they bleed just as good as the good old days!" the prisoner said reminiscing.

"My my, aren't you all pumped eh, le détenu-chan?" a happy voice asked.

"Huh? Who- aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!"He cried as he was quickly sliced to bits. Aimee turned to the other prisoner covered in blood and smiled at him.

"Konnichiha, Monsieur," she said cheerfully, "What do you have to say for yourself?" Said prisoner was on the ground crab walking back until he reached a wall.

"O-okay, I-I-I'll get back into my cell! I-I p-p-p-p-promise! J-J-just don't do that to me," he pleaded shaking and squeaking. Aimee just smiled pleasantly and lowered her upper half till her face was practically point blank in front of him.

"Too late," she replied happily impaling him with her sword. She shoved it into his chest as far as it could go until it was obvious he was dead she drew out her blade and looked around frowning.

"Oh, dear. I've made a mess," she said turning back the way she came, "Sorry about that, Ma-comme." Mayuri walked out of the darkness with Nanao, Genshiro, 3rd Seat of Squad 6 Rikichi Shimbai, Kai, and Akon. Everyone but Mayuri and Akon had some kind of varying degree of shock and/or horror on their face. Or in the case of Kai….

"That was the hottest thing I've ever seen," Kai said looking around, "Aimee you've got to go on a date with me when this is all said and done."

"I have absolutely no idea on how to react to that, Nanao said pushing her glasses back up.

"I've seen worst," Akon said inspecting the second prisoner's corpse. Mayuri just walked ahead and motioned for everyone to be silent. He then turned towards the group and spoke.

"Since all of the other Captains are currently trapped within Karakura Town it is up to us to deal with this situation. Here are out objectives: 1. Secure Muken, 2. Find the perpetrators of this plot, 3. Re-imprison/kill any escaped prisoners, and 4. Keep the enemy from reaching level 5 or in the worst case Level 8. Is this all understood?" Mayuri said in a commanding voice. Everyone raised their hands in solute.

He got 4 "Hai"s and one "Oui".

"Good," he said, "Move out!"

Meanwhile

A cloaked figure sat on a throne on top a a lone mountain in Hueco Mundo and looked down at the masses of Hollows gathering around the mountain of all shapes and sizes. Among them were regular Hollows, Menos of all kinds, Vasto Lorder, and even Arrancar. The man looked down from the peak. None dare so much as touch the mountain. Slightly smirking he got up from his seat waving his hand. The chair immediately evaporated and he smiled. It didn't last long as he looked down at the hordes below. Slightly annoyed.

"Have you all forgotten respect? Have you egos so great you would dare not bow before your king? Kneal my people. Kneal and you will feast as you have never feasted before," he told them. They all quickly complied.

"Excellent," he smiled and looked around every single one of the bowing before him. He was a bit surprised to see that the mass actually ended within his field of vision. He grinded his teeth and clenched his hand into a fist.

"Go, and prepare for your feast!" he cried waving his arm out and the masses began to dispers. Angrily he went over to a pit with a stare case and began walking down it. It was emty within the Hollowed out Mountain city. Its residents long fled. His steps echo'd through it and one could see ruined and decaying buildings: Houses, stores, markets,….. temples. A once great civilization and people that lasted for generations long gone. Not only that but they had all digressed into more animalistic more inferior forms. What had happened as he was gone? Had his people truly fallen so? He was interrupted from his thoughts as he came upon a-his castle. It was the mightiest structure and lay in the center all other residents built in rings around it so they could all see the home of the king that loved them so. He walked in and entered the dungeon walking down the steps until he came up to two large sekiseki doors. In his rage he blew them to bits with his reiatsu and walked in. One could just barely make out a chained figure in tattered clothes.

"I cannot forgive you for what you have done to my people," he told the figure stopping in the middle of the large room.

"Then don't," he replied, "Just kill me. I have nothing left anyways. It was all taken by….. Kurosaki." The mysterious figure smiled.

"As much as I would enjoy that, I have a different punishment for you. I'm going to make you live and serve under me. You're too useful and powerful for me to kill you here. Besides, I think I let out enough," the man said referring to the man's current state.

"I know I don't have any choice so I might as well come of my own free will," the prisoner replied.

The king smirked. "Excellent, allow me to be the first to welcome you as the Lieutenant of the 1st Militarial Regiment of the Neo-Soul Society. I am you Head-General and I look forward to you serving me," he said. The man just nodded his beard now apparent all ragged and shaggy. Smiling the king snapped his fingers shattering the man's bonds. The prisoner quickly fell back and used the wall for support.

"This is the result of pure irony," the newly freed prisoner said opening his eyelids revealing two holes where his eyes should be.

"Indeed it is. Yhwach deQuincy. Now come with me and let us plunge the world into the dark abyss," the man replied.

Author's Note: Yes, the main villain is just that powerful. *chuckles evilly* Oh, this is going to be so much fun. Also, since I can't find anywhere in the story to explain what happened during the blood war (as far as the not-spoiler stuff goes anyhow) here's what you need to know for now.

Yhwach did kill the Soul King but they restored it by augmenting Orihime's powers with Mimihagi-sama the latter of which returned to Ukitake afterwards.

All but 1 of the elite guard is dead.

Shu teamed up with Shunsui and Byakuya to defeat Hascwaldth who was last seen just sort of lying there in a pool of blood his fate unsure.

Not all the regular Sternritter are dead.

They freed Uryu from Yhwach by literally reaching into his sould and yanking out the Letter.

Hanatoro teamed up with Kenpachi against one of the elite guard and it was just them. In the battle they were barely able to win when Hanatoro released his Bankai in the battle. Kenpachi was traumatized by what he witnessed and wouldn't tell anyone.

Toshiro, Kensei, Rose, and RAngiku were never zombified but merely critically injured and couldn't take part in the final battle.

Yhwach was "defeated" by the 5 War Potentials together after which Aizen tried to betray them again but was quickly stopped by a contingency seal created with the combined efforts of Urahara, Mayuri, and Shu.

That's all really. Callian31 signing out!
