Here's Chapter 9 of Rising Darkness

Unknown Location A Week Later

The Master is sitting in his thrown when Morrgan walks in and says "My lord I have a bad feeling about Xalagas he has been acting weird lately." The Master replies "You worry to much he is just being himself." Morrgan says "But my lord he..." "Silence, he is permitted to do what he wants. Now then if that is all leave." Morrgan bows and says "As you wish my lord." Morrgan walks down the hall thinking "Well if the Master won't do something I will" She walks down the hall looking for Xalagas. She stops at his room and opens the door. "Xalagas, are you here?" Hearing no response she steps inside. She walks over to his closet and opens it. Seeing nothing unusual she closes it and walks over to his desk and starts opening his drawer. When she reaches the third drawer she finds a letter to Aizen. She opens it the letter and reads it. She puts it in her cloak and turns to leave to show the Master.

She stops and sees Xalagas standing in front of the door. Xalagas says "Morrgan what are you doing in my room?" Morrgan says "I was looking for you." Xalagas replies "Well here I am what do you want?" Morrgan says "I was wondering if you seen Ghost I owe him a beating." Xalagas replies "No I haven't seen him today." Morrgan says "Well then I'm going to go find him." She walks toward the door. Xalagas says "Oh before you leave give me the letter back." Morrgan stops . Xalagas says "Did you think I didn't notice you take the letter. I'm not stupid, now give me it now or I'll take it by force." Morrgan reaches for her daggers. Xalagas says "If you think you can take me try it." Morrgan draws her daggers, turns and gets in her fighting stance.

Xalagas summons his scythe and says "You may be higher ranked but I'm have a few tricks up my sleeve." Xalagas then lunges and Morrgan and swings his scythe at her. She ducks and stabs one of her daggers at his chest causing him to jump back. Xalagas then swings his scythe at Morrgan who dodges to the side making the scythe hit the ground. She steps on the handle causing Xalagas to drop it. She then swings her dagger at him releasing a wave of fire towards him. Xalagas jumps over it and tries to grab his weapon but Morrgan kicks him in the chest sending him towards the wall. Morrgan says "Looks like you lost now I'm going to kill you." Xalagas starts laughing at this and says "You think you've won this easily? I'm only just getting started!" Xalagas raises his arm and chains with jagged hooks on the end shoot out at Morrgan who jumps back. The chains wrap around Xalagas's scythe and pulls it back to him. Xalagas grabs it and swings it vertically at Morrgan releasing a wave of air at her. She jumps over it but a chain wraps around both her ankles. Xalagas then swings his arm back causing the chain to slam Morrgan into the wall making a small crater in it.

Morrgan swings a dagger at the chain to cut it but gets stopped by chains wrapping around both her arms and a hooks piercing her hands causing her drop her daggers and grit her teeth to stop from screaming in pain. Xalagas walks up and says "See sis I wasn't joking about tricks up my sleeve. Now then I think it's time for you to die." Xalagas brings his scythe up to kill her. He jumps back at the last second to dodge a wave of black fire that goes through the chains forcing him to cut them before the fire spreads. Xalagas looks toward the door to see the Master and Amy standing there. The Master says "Amy take Morrgan to the infirmary I'll deal with Xalagas." Amy responds "Yes my lord." Amy appears next to Morrgan, grabs her and teleports away. Xalagas says "I'm glad you showed up now I don't have to find you later." The Master says "You really think you and Armageddon can kill me." Xalagas looks shocked the Master knows he has Armageddon. The Master sees this and says "You really thought you could take a demon from I had imprisoned without me noticing." Xalagas replies "It doesn't matter, I'll kill you and take your power!" Xalagas then starts releasing Armageddon's energy.

The Master watches as Xalagas grows to ten feet tall ripping his cloak showing that his skin has scales like a snake, four chains rip from his back moving with a mind of their own, his hands and feet grow razor sharp claws, he grows two horns on his head pointing back words. He grabs his scythe in one hand and summons a giant sword in the other and says "Now I will kill you!" he charges at the Master who draws his sword and blocks the giant sword with his. The force of the impact causes the floor under them to crack. Xalagas swings his scythe at the Master who jumps back dodging it. Xalagas continues attacking swing both weapons at the Master who dodges or blocks each one. Xalagas then jumps back and sends his chains at the Master while he charges and ball of energy. The Master dodges them until they wrap around his torso holding him in place. Xalagas then releases the ball of energy at the Master. The blast hits causing a massive explosion making smoke cover the room. Xalagas retracts the chains and says "Is this all the Master can do,HA,this is to easy. And don't worry about Amy I'll take good care of her myself." The next thing Xalagas knows he is forced to his knees by a large amount of power.

He looks up seeing the Master standing there unharmed. The Master says "I'll KILL YOU FOR SAYING THAT!" The Master then appears in front of Xalagas and kicks him smashing through the wall behind him and into wide open room. The Master summons his sword and appears next to Xalagas and cuts both his arms off. He then grabs him by the throat and throws him into the ceiling. As Xalagas falls back to the ground the Master summons a spear and stabs Xalagas in the abdomen and slams him into the ground with the spear holding him to the floor. The Master then raises his hand allowing a jet of black fire to hit Xalagas's legs slowly burning his skin and bones to ash making it's way up his legs and stops at his waist. The Master then walks toward the hole in the wall as he reaches it he snaps his fingers and spikes come out of the ceiling above Xalagas. The ceiling slowly starts descending towards Xalagas. The Master walks away grinning hearing Xalagas's screams of pain. The Master then stops and turns toward the ceiling crushing Xalagas's remains and raises his hand and launches a ball of energy at in the room when the ball gets in the middle of the room it expands destroying the room and everything left of Xalagas.

The Master walks down the halls toward the infirmary. When he reaches it he walks in and Amy walks up to him and says "I take it you killed Xalagas?" The Master replies "Of course he is hurt one of my lieutenants and more importantly threatened you. Now then how long will it be before Morrgan is back to full health?" Amy replies "She will be completely healed in a couple of days." The Master says "Good, now then if you need me I have some things to take care of." The Master walks out of the room leaving Amy to watch over Morrgan. After the Master exits the room he teleports away.

The Master appears in a room with a bed in the middle with a teddy bear sitting on it. He walks up to the bed and watches the bear's eyes glow red. He then turns around and looks at the little girl behind him who says "Do you want to play?" The Master replies "No but I have some people in mind you can play with." The girl then grabs the teddy bear on the bed and says "Did you hear that teddy we get to play." The Master then opens a portal for the girl who walk threw.

Hueco Mundo

Aizen is sitting in his throne thinking "Were is Xalagas he said that he would be here to finalize the plan for killing the Master." Zommari bursts in and says "Lord Aizen we have a problem." Aizen replies "What kind of problem?" Zommari says "Come with me it would be better if you saw this." Aizen gets up and follows Zommari down some corridors until they reach Nnoitra's room. Zommari opens the door showing the room covered in blood with pieces of Nnoitra everywhere. Aizen says "What happened?" Zommari replies "I don't know I was walking by when I heard Nnoitra scream and when I opened the door I found the room like this." Aizen then says "Gather the others."

Minutes later the Espada are sitting in the main room wondering why they are here. Aizen says "The reason for this meeting is that Nnorita has been killed." Szayel says "How did this happen." Aizen then says "I don't know and have called this meeting to figure out who killed him." Baraggan is about to say something when the door opens causing all the Espada and Aizen to look towards the door and see a little eight year old girl standing there holding a teddy bear at her side. The girl then says "Oh look Teddy more people to play with." Aizen says "How did you get in here?" The girl replies "Do you want to play?" Aizen then says "Leave before you get hurt." Aizen then gets wide eyed as Gin steps beside the girl and says "But she just want to play Aizen." Aizen says "Gin but your dead." Gin points to his scar were he got cut in half and says "This is only a flesh wound. Besides when she asked if we wanted to play with her how could we refuse." Aizen says "We?"

Aizen face goes pale as he sees Tosen, Ulquiorra, Yammy, and Luppi walk up behind the girl. The girl then says "I'm bored let play." Gin and the formally dead Espada draw their swords and get ready to kill Aizen and the remaining Espada. The little girl then point toward Aizen and the Espada and says "FETCH ME THEIR SOULS!" Balls of lightning start appearing around the room and when they clear large decaying dogs charge at Aizen and the Espada. Aizen stabs a dog that jumped at him and turned to block an attack by Gin and pushes him back. Aizen the appears behind Gin and stabs him in the heart. Aizen the pulls is sword out and steps back. Gin then spins around cutting Aizen across the chest causing him to jump back. Aizen looks at the hole in Gins chest and wonders how he lived through that. Gin says "You'll have to do better the that to kill me Aizen."

Gin then puts his sword away and steps back. Aizen then turns around and sees the rest of the Espada dead except the ones with Gin. The girl then walks toward Aizen and says "Look teddy just one left." Aizen says "I'll kill you for this." Aizen then swings his sword at the little girl who catches it in the hand not holding the bear. She grins at Aizen and says "Fluffy kill him." The largest of the dogs lunges at Aizen and tackles him to the ground. The dog bites down on his throat and rips it out spraying blood all over the floor. The girl watches as Aizen slowly bleeds out she then hugs the dog around the neck and says "Good Fluffy." The girl then says "I think play time is over lets go." The group then disappears in a huge ball of lightning.

Karakura Town Ichigo's House

Ichigo and his friends are still recuperating after their last defeat and are discoursing options to take in the future battles with the master. Rukia says "I think we need a new strategy." Ichigo replies "No, are normal strategy of attacking head on has worked so well considering all the loses we've had." Toshiro says "This is not a time to be sarcastic Ichigo." Ichigo is about to reply when the someone smashes through the roof and lands standing on Ichigo and making the others jump back in shock. "Where's Kurosaki I want to fight." says Kenpachi with his sword drawn and Yachiru on his shoulder. Yachiru says "Yay Kenny show Ichi who's boss!" Kenpachi then looks around and says "Where are you hiding Kurosaki?" Orihime says "Your standing on him." Kenpachi looks down and sees Ichigo twitching in pain. Kenpachi then steps off him and pulls him up and says "Hurry up lets fight." Toshiro asks "Kenpachi why are you here?" Kenpachi replies "Yamamoto sent me to make sure none of you get killed." The group is interrupted by a large explosion outside. They swallow their mod souls and head off towards the noise.

When they arrive they see a large snake with Fox standing on top of it. Fox turns toward them as Toshiro appears next to her and brings his sword down to kill her but she brings up her blade to stop the attack. She then pushes him back and says "I didn't come here to fight. I came here to give you this." Fox motions to a dark sphere behind her that opens revealing Aizen's body. Fox says "This is to show you some of our power." She then grabs the body and throws it at Toshiro who grabs it. Fox and the snake then disappear. Ichigo says "What are we supposed to do with Aizen's body?" Toshiro replies "I'll take this to Soul Society to have Unohana examine it."

Soul Society

Toshiro watches as Unohana walks out of a room and walks up to him. Unohana says "Yes the body is defiantly Aizen." Toshiro replies "Well that is one less problem to deal with since Aizen is dead." Unohana says "You might want to tell Head Captain Yamamoto that Aizen is dead." Toshiro then walks out of the room. Unohana walks back in the room with Aizen to dispose of the body. She walks up to the table is about to perform a Kido to burn the body when she fells someone watching her. She looks around the room until she spots a teddy bear sitting on a table staring back out her. She walks up to it and says "Hm, I wonder if this is Captain Hitsugaya's?"

The next thing she knows a hand is wrapped over her mouth and a sword is stabbed into her back through her heart and covering the bear in blood. She hears a voice says "You've lost your touch Captain Unohana." When she stops moving Aizen removes his sword from her chest and watches her body fall to the ground. He sheaths his sword and looks at the bloody bear and walks out the door.

Karakura High Roof

Ichigo and his friends are discussing the incident with Aizen and what to think about it.They are to busy to notice Jake is leaning against the fence watching them. Mira walks up to Jake and whispers "He's on his way were done here." Jake replies "Finally this place was boring. I want to do something before he gets here thou." Mira asks "What's that?" Jake replies "Just watch." as he starts walking over to Ichigo's group. As he approaches Toshiro looks at him and says "Go away Jake were busy." Jake replies "I just need to talk to Orihime for a second." Orihime asks "What can I do for you Jake?" He looks at her then before she can react he backhands her across the cheek knocking her down and busting her lip. Ichigo stands up and grabs him by the collar as Rukia helps Orihime Ichigo then says "WHY THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT?" Jake replies "I've always wanted to do that ever since I first met her." Ichigo brings his fist back to punch him but is stopped by Mira who grabs his fist and kicks him in the stomach making him drop Jake and sending him back a few feet into the fence.

Mira and Jake step back as Ichigo stands up and is about to fight them when he hears someone says "Mr. Kurosaki what have I told you about harming other students?" Ichigo looks at Mr. Spencer and replies "Me he hit Orihime." Mr. Spencer looks at him and says "I know I saw the whole thing. I have one question for you Mr. Kurosaki?" Ichigo asks "What's that?" Mr. Spencer replies "Why do you defend these weak humans when they are so fragile and easy to kill." Ichigo watches as dark energy surround Mr. Spencer, Mira, and Jake. When the energy clears the Master is standing there with Morrgan and Ghost on either side of him. Ichigo says "You why are you here?" The Master replies "Isn't it obvious we have been spying on you and your little group." The Master, Morrgan, and Ghost disappear with the Master reappearing above the school and he launches a ball of energy at the school. Before it hits they flash step away with Ichigo carrying Orihime, Rukia grabbing Uryu, and Ikkaku grabbing chad. When the blast hits the explosion it creates covers a mile around the school destroying the area and killing hundreds.

Ichigo and the others stop and look back at the remains of the school while Orihime cries do to the death of her friends. Ichigo hugs her and says "It's alright Orihime they won't get away with this you can count on it." Toshiro says "We should head to Soul Society and report to them about what just happened."

Soul Society

After explaining all that happened at the school to Yamamoto and the other captains. Toshiro asks "What should we do now Head Caption?" Yamamoto thinks for a minute and says "We must prepare a defense incase the Master attacks use next." He looks toward the other captains and says "Captains I want this place locked down until this threat with the Master is over." All the captains reply with a "Yes Head Captain." Yamamoto says"Captain Kuchiki I want you to look for Captain Unohana. As for the rest of you dismissed!" The other captains leave to prepare a defense incase of an attack. Ichigo says "What do you want use to do?" Yamamoto says "Go asks the captains if they need any assistance in setting up a defense."

After searching Soul Society with no luck Byakuya heads back to Yamamoto. When he arrives he says "Head Captain I've looked everywhere but I have not been able to find Captain Unohana." Yamamoto replies "This is very troubling. Captain I want you to help in the defense." Byakuya says "Yes sir." and flash steps away. Byakuya appears next to Captain's Ukitake and Shunsui and says "How are the defenses coming along?" Ukitake replies "They are going slow but we should be finished in two hours." Shunsui says "We better hurry I have a bad feeling that two hours is to long." Ukitake says "Lets get done as much as we can if your feelings are right." They then flash step in different directions to speed things up.

Yamamoto walks out onto Hogyoku Hill and looks out over Soul Society "I wonder if we are ready for this battle? If he can defeat Aizen were we could not then the other Captains would stand little chance. I guess I'll end this battle once and for all."

Outside Soul Society a Few Miles Away

A portal opens in the middle of the field and the Master steps out followed by Amy, Morrgan, Ghost, Fox, and Samantha(the girl with the teddy bear). The Master looks toward the gates of Soul Society and says "Soon Soul Society will burn." Samantha says jumps up and down and says "Yay more people to play with!" Ghost looks at her and says "Why is she here again?" The Master replies "She want's to play and who am I to say no." Ghost replies "That's it because she wants to play." He looks at Samantha and says "Go play dolls somewhere else." Samantha looks at Ghost while the teddy bears eyes glow red and says "How about you and me play hide and seek, you hide and I'll Seek." Ghost hides behind Morrgan and says "No thanks you can stay!" Samantha then continues jumping up and down. Morrgan then says "Ghost stop hiding behind me." Ghost replies "Make me." Morrgan then roundhouse kicks Ghost into the nearest building.

The Master says "Enough save your energy for the battle." Morrgan replies "Yes my lord." Ghost climbs out of the wall and says "Fine, but do I get to kill some Soul Reapers?" The Master replies "Yes." Ghost says " Finally I get to go all out."

There's chapter 9. So R&R and tell me what you think. Next time the battle for Soul Society.
