Chapter 10

Toshiro

"It's been a long time since all the captains and vice captains have been in a meeting together." I heard Renji say as we stepped through the door. It was true; there hasn't been a meeting like this since the time of the winter war. All captains walked into the meeting room and took their usual places the lieutenants lined up and took a kneeled position in front of the large door.

"I have called you all here at such short notice to announce that the soul society is once again in a state of emergency" head captain Yamamoto said as he stood in front of everyone at the head of the room. "I will now hand this meeting over to captain Kurotsuchi so that he can further explain what's been going on over the past month." He said as he stepped aside and let Mayuri take his previous position in front of everyone. He placed his hands behind his back as he scanned the room.

"The soul society is under attack by one of the former noble clans of the soul society that was exiled over 500 years ago." He said. "We don't know how they survived such a long time in the realm between this world and the real world but we have reason to believe that over time they established their own realm where they have been living and working to exact revenge upon the soul society for exiling them all those years ago."

"And who is this family?" Kenpachi asked.

"The clan's name seems to be conveniently missing from the records along with the names of the clan member and how many where living at the time of their exile." Mayuri replied.

"Then how do you even know that it's really them." Kenpachi replied. Mayuri shot him a dirty look before continuing with what he had to say.

"Although there isn't much information on the family in our records; the family's history in the combat records is immense. This family was powerful and the sort of power that they held was unique to their family only. The only people with their sort of powered were the ones directly born into the family. They kept themselves powerful by keeping their marriages inside the family."

"That's disgusting" Kenpachi said aloud to himself. I fully agree with him.

"The clan seems to have only consisted of 5 members. There were 4 children and their father. The mother of those children is completely missing from the record which leads me to believe that she died before their exile. Each child held some type of control over a different element of nature; wind water earth and fire, and their father can freely control them all. The person who attacked captain Hitsugaya used only a few strong gusts of wind and he nearly killed the captain."

"They sound like fun." Kenpachi said with a huge grin stretched across his face.

"Hardly," I replied bitterly.

"And what make you believe that they created their own realm? Couldn't they just have been hiding in Hueco Mundo" I asked getting the meeting back on track.

"Because of the disturbances in Karakura town, we think that they are trying to find a path to the soul society through Karakura town because there is none from their world; and it seems that they are getting help from some of our allies." He replied. Small gasps could be heard from all around the room.

"Allies?" Yamamoto asked.

"The wholes around Karakura town are covered with the spiritual energy off the young shinigami substitute." Mayuri said.

"So he's working with them?" Byakuya asked.

"I don't believe so; excreting so much energy at once would be quiet painful for him. I believe that they captured him and have been forcing him to create holes in Karakura town." He said. They must be strong if they've managed to capture Ichigo.

"What do you think they're planning?" I asked aloud. I wasn't talking to Mayuri but he took a deep breath and answered me anyways.

"The holes around Karakura town were just experiments. Their real plan is to rip their way into the soul society." He said. "The disturbances before where small; only big enough for one person to fit through but they have gradually been getting bigger and bigger. Soon they might even be big enough to-"

"Fit a whole army though." I said finishing his sentence, "the end of the soul society as we know it." My mind flashed back to the last words of the red man's warning as I said them out loud.

"And it does look like we have much time before that happens." Mayuri said.

"Your right; you don't." that voice, that horrible voice. Every time I hear it I felt like clawing my ears off of my head. I turned and looked towards the door but I didn't see him.

"Up here everyone." Called his voice from above us; he was floating in midair legs crossed. Now that I could see him in the light I could get a good look at him. He didn't look to be much older than I was but he was defiantly taller than I am. His dark brown hair hung down over his face covering his left eye. His mouth was fixed in a playful grin as he looked down at us all.

"How'd you get in here?" Yamamoto asked.

"You ask way too many questions, instead of worrying about the soul societies lacking security you should be worrying about you lives." He said. "It's coming you know."

"What's coming?" Yamamoto asked.

"My army of course," He said happily. "They should be here any minute."

"What happened to your father?" I asked

"I got tired of following him; so I got rid of him." He smiled then cocked his head to the left.

"You killed you own father?" Yamamoto asked in horror.

"Yeah…so?" he replied giving Yamamoto an annoyed look before turning his attention back to me. "I should be thanking you." He said pointing at me.

"Thanking me? For what?" I asked

"I would have never found a clear path to this place if I hadn't followed you and you friends back here." He said with a smile. He stood from his seated position and began to pace around above our heads. Like he was expecting something to happen; he looked up at the ceiling and frowned.

"I'm never gonna be able to see with this in the way." He said removing his hand from his pocket. He swung his arm up in the direction of the ceiling; the force it created blew a large hole in the ceiling. He smiled as he looked up at the hole he had created in the roof.

"Did you see that?" Renji whispered. "he barely moved his arm and he almost brought the whole building down."

"The wind is a powerful thing." Said the man in red as he glanced back at Renji before turning his attention be to the big hole he had made. "Oh look; they're here." He said as he looked up at the sky.

The sky above us grew dark gray. A large crack inched its way across the horizon. With a loud noise that sounded much like thunder the crack began to open. In place of it was a large gaping hole that had to be at least a mile and a half wide.

"The Cavalry is here!" said the man in a sing song voice as he marched around over our head like an excited little child. I stared up at sky in disbelief; this can't be happening now. This is crazy. The man turned around and looked down at me again. I don't know why I seemed to be his favorite person but I was.

"Hey can I ask you something?" he asked. He descended in the air until we were nearly at eye level with each other. He crossed his legs and returned to the same seated position he was in before as he floated in front of me.

"What." I replied.

"Are you scared?" he asked eyes wide with curiosity. He acts a lot like a small child.

"No." I replied matter-of-factly.

"Well you should be." He said. He looked around the room at everyone before erupting in a fit of laughter. "You all have an hour to ready yourselves before I send my men to attack. If you want to surrender now you can but just so we're clear this will be your only chance."

"We will never bow down to the likes of you." Yamamoto said sternly.

"Fine; then you can die along with the rest of those who try to resist us." he said. "And with that I bid you a fond adieu." He said before disappearing into thin air. We all stood there in silence before Yamamoto finally decided to speak up.

"Well you hear the man. An hour is not a long time so you better hurry." He said dismissing us all from the meeting.
