Hawk Story: Bleach

Chapter 11

Soi Fon and Hawk ran into the Kuchiki household and started opening doors looking for Omaeda. Hawk opened a door that actually had a person in the room. It was Ginrei Kuchiki. "Excuse me have you seen a big man around here." Hawk asked.

Ginrei squinted his eyes to look at Hawk. "Hawk? Hawk is that you?" Ginrei asked back.

"Yeah, but how did you know that?" Hawk asked.

Ginrei stood from his chair and walked over. "You haven't changed a bit. But we can't all be as lucky as you, getting to join the Royal Guard." Ginrei said.

"Okay Gramps who are you and how do you know me?" Hawk asked rudely.

"Hoho, you were a Vice-Captain during the First Generation. You were one of the few to join the Royal Guard." Ginrei explained.

Hawk couldn't believe it, he found someone who knew him. There was still one glaring question. "Why doesn't anyone know me?"

"What do you mean?"

"No one here knows who I am, I don't know who I am! Aizen erased my memories! I gave up trying to regain my memories a month ago! Who else knows me?" He asked in a bit of a panic. He wasn't planning on yelling it just came out like that.

"Genryusai and Retsu should know you. You taught Joshiro and Shunsui at the academy too, but they were young at the time so they might not remember."

"But they don't know me, that's the problem."

"Then I'll help you remind them, come with me." Ginrei said.

"I can't right now I'm doing something important. Is there any way I can come back?"

"Of course, I'm always here. Just come back when you're ready."

"Thank you so much. Oh by the way have you seen a big guy around here?"

"The man with little Yachiru, he's three doors down." Ginrei told him.

Hawk ran out the door waving thanks. "Soi Fon I found him!" He shouted running down the hall. Soi Fon caught up to him as Hawk was opening the door. "Omaeda are you in here?" Hawk shouted.

Omaeda was in there alright. He was sitting at a small table wearing a big straw hat, having a tea party. Hawk couldn't help, but…laugh hysterically.

Even Soi Fon giggled a little before telling him the situation. "Omaeda we have a problem." Soi Fon said.

"What kind of problem?" Omaeda asked.

"It's the hat." Hawk said, trying to hold in his laughter.

"Hawk shut up." Soi Fon said. "There are a group of Menos outside the Rukongai and it's our job to scout out the situation."

"W-what kind of Menos? We don't have to fight them right?" Omaeda asked nervously.

"Adjuchas, possibly Vasto Lorde. And no we're no fighting them, we're observing."

Omaeda sighed in relief. Omaeda took off the hat and they used Flash Step to get to the Squad 2 barracks to inform the squad. "Attention! We are headed to the outskirts of the Rukongai to scout out a group of Hollows! Now move out!" Soi Fon ordered.

"Hey good luck." Hawk said.

"You're coming too." Soi Fon told him.

"Really, awesome!" Hawk said before they quickly Flashed away.

They appeared at the edge of Rukongai and entered the forest. Soi Fon, Hawk and the rest of Squad 2 traveled through the trees until the reach a clearing. They stopped at the edge and hid their presence. The information they received was spot on. Except for one thing, there were four Vasto Lorde. One with an insect like head and long mantis blades growing out of his wrist. One of them looked to have been part of Rudobon's Exequias, because he looked just like Rudobon except his horns were turned downward. One had a creepy smiling face and giant arms like a gorilla. And the forth the one that looked like the leader, had no eyes, saber tooth tiger teeth and the top of his head was shaped like a crown. He had spikes protruding from his back and four blades coming out of his knuckles.

"This is bad, we're going to need lots of back up." Hawk said.

"Let's get out of here and get those on standby." Soi Fon said.

"Looks like we have company." The leader said so Soi Fon and Hawk could hear.

"I guess we can't leave, without endangering civilians." Hawk said.

"You, fifth seat, go get those on standby." Soi Fon ordered.

"Yes Captain." He said then disappeared.

"Omaeda take the big one. Hawk you take the two on the right. I'll take on the leader. The rest of you take on the Adjuchas. I don't expect victory just hold them off until backup arrives." Soi Fon told them.

They jumped down from the trees and began their assault. "Sting All Enemies to Death, Suzumebachi."

"Crush, Gegetsuburi."

"Sharpen Your Talons, Nighthawk."

What Omaeda did may have seemed cowardly, but in fact was the smart thing to do. He ran around trying to get away from the Gorilla Hollow. After a period of time the Hollow began to slow down and Omaeda noticed. "That's why the Captain wanted me to fight him, because he has less stamina." Omaeda thought to himself. He turned and flung his flail at the Vasto Lorde, but to his dismay the Gorilla caught it. Omaeda used Flash Step to appear behind him. "Way of Destruction Number 73: Twin Lotus Blue Fire, Crash Down." The Gorilla got hit at close range right in the back and through his Hollow hole. It must have done serious damage, because he dropped the flail. Omaeda pulled his flail back then swung it downward into the Gorilla's head crushing him into the ground. Omaeda was breathing heavy, that Kido took a lot out of him. "I think… I actually… did it."

"Not even close, fat Shinigami." the Gorilla said.

"Oi, I'm not fat!" Omaeda shouted. He received a heavy punch after saying that. It sent him skidding across the ground, until he was stopped by another punch sending him deep into the ground. The Gorilla picked him up and held him in the air. He charged a Cero in his mouth, Omaeda shoved the chain from his flail into the Gorilla's mouth. "Way of Destruction Number 11: Bound Lightning." He sent an electric shock into the Gorilla's mouth causing him to drop Omaeda.

"You Bastard that hurt! Now I'm gonna crush you!" The Gorilla shouted, pulling his fist back and then sending it downward. Omaeda place his flail in front of him to block the hit, but something stopped the gorilla before that.

"Oi, Omaeda are you okay?" The voice shouted.

"Abarai is that you?" Omaeda asked.

"Yeah so hang in there." Renji told him. "Bankai…Hihou Zabimaru." Renji's Baboon King appeared ready for action. "You'll pay for what you did to him! Baboon Bone Cannon!" Renji shouted. The Baboon King shot his red cannon at the Gorilla. The Gorilla was still standing when the smoke cleared, but just barely. Zabimaru the constricted around the Gorilla and began pump out reitsu until the Gorilla was crushed to death. Renji sheathed his Zanpakuto and ran over to Omaeda. "Omaeda, Omaeda you've got to stay awake."

"Don't worry Vice-Captain Abarai, I'll heal him." Unohana said appearing out of nowhere.

"Captain Unohana when did you get here?"

"Just now."

….

Hawk stared down the two Vasto Lordes daggers blazing. "Enough with the staring contest, I'll go first." Hawk said "Eight Circling Daggers!" He threw his daggers forward, then two more appeared, then two more, until eight were surrounding the Vasto Lorde. "Double!" Hawk shouted and then there were sixteen daggers spinning around them. Hawk clapped his hands and the blades impaled the Vasto Lorde. Eight blades stuck out of each of their backs.

"I hope that wasn't you best." The Mantis said.

"You wish." He snapped his fingers and the daggers exploded into a massive burst of black fire. Hawk stood looking at the fire waiting for retaliation, but there was nothing. "Maybe I'm stronger than I thought." In reality they were just trapped in his fire. He looked over at Soi Fon and saw something no one would want to see.

….

Soi Fon dashed towards her opponent trying to strike it with her Zanpakuto, but he quickly dodge. Soi Fon predicted he'd dodge and kicked him in the head. He skidded backward, holding his jaw. "Not bad, Shinigami. My turn." The Leader said. He disappeared and reappeared behind Soi Fon. His Sonido was top notch so it was hard for her to react. She twisted and got the sleeve of her Captain's Jacket ripped off. She jumped back to avoid any more attacks. "Oh, that was a nice dodge, I meant to take your arm." The Leader said. "Why don't you use you Bankai? I heard that makes you stronger."

"I don't need Bankai to beat you." She growled. This time she disappeared and reappeared behind him. He saw it coming and grabbed her hand before it could strike. She took that opportunity to sting him with her Zanpakuto. Instead of jumping back he kicked Soi Fon hard in the side, forcing her away. She grabbed her side in pain. "Fine, I'll show you something that I believe rivals Bankai. Flash Cry!" Her Captain's Jacket turned to nothingness as she was engulfed in a white light. She charged the Leader at double speed, catching him off guard. She landed a hard punch to the jaw that sent him upward. She followed him and attempted to sting him again, but he blocked it with his claws. He sent his other four claws towards her stomach, but they light that surrounded her stop them. She then proceeded to send a barrage of punches into the leader's face. He used a barrage of Bala's to push her back, then charged his Cero. He fired it directly at her, but she easily dodged and charged in for another sting. This time she made contact. They both landed on the ground and she turn off her Flash Cry. "Pathetic." Was all she had to say.

"I'd have to agree." She turned and saw two things. One, her sting missed and hit his shoulder and his four blades were coming at her so fast she had no time to react. someone else however did have time to react. Hawk appeared in front of her taking all four blades in his back. He yelled out in pain as they went through sticking out the other side.

"Hey, you okay?" Hawk managed to ask, blood dripping from his mouth. He fell to his knees. She managed to catch him from falling any further.

"H-Hawk, w-why?" She asked.

"Because you're my important person that I live to protect." He said, and then groaned in pain as blood seeped out of his stomach. "I just have one favor." He leaned up and whispered something in her ear.

She blushed a little. "Just once."

The flames around the other two Vasto Lorde disappeared as Hawk lost consciousness. "Whatever he just asked you to do, you won't be fulfilling it." The leader said shooting four more blades at them. Once again they had zero time to react. But the blades didn't hit this time.

"Scatter, Senbonzakura." Byakuya said appearing behind them. A pink wall of blades surrounded them. "Do you want to finish him off or should I?" He asked.

"I'll do it." She said setting Hawk down gently. "Bankai! Jakuhō Raikōben!" The pink blades opened give her a clear view of the Vasto Lorde. She launched her missile and the Leader tried to escape, but he noticed pink blades holding him in place.

"No~!" He shouted, and then was gone forever in the explosion.

"Vice-Captain Kotetsu, Seventh Seat Yamada tend to the Wanderer." Byakuya ordered.

"Please don't die Hawk." Soi Fon said holding back tears.

The two other Vasto Lorde charged them, but was easily taken care of. Byakuya cut the skeleton to ribbons with his Bankai. And the other was cut in half from behind by the Kenpachi, who arrived late due to his Vice-Captain's directions. "I'll go relieve your Squad and kill the rest of them." Kenpachi told Soi Fon. Then he was off to run wild.
