In Her Service
He moved silently in the night, his every breathe blending with the cool blowing wind. The shadows were his veil and sword and the light was only an obsatcle that he would cut down in cold blood if it ever took a form and stood before him.
His mission was a simple one, the Captain Commander Yamamoto was to be found, probed for information, and disposed if when the desired info was not given.
Scaling walls and jumping roof to roof on tall buildings, was mere childs play compared to the many skills he possesed. His peircing red eyes focused on the targeted residence and his mind formed a plan without even a second to waste. After taking one breath of the night air he began his operation.
The guards examined every corner in the halls but he slipped by in the areas they were to lazy to look into. His breathing ceased and he dashed like a cat past the suirvelance cameras and tricking motion sensors to belive he had not passed with his stealthy speed.
There was movement occuring in the house for a grand feast was being held in the main halls. He heard laughter and music and with a quick look through the crack in the door he saw his target.
"Sweet god this is boring" Soi-fon said to herself as she leaned her cheek into her palm. Kiryu and her were invited to a feast banquet in the commanders halls. But frankly the old man was more suited for war and combat than throwing parties. Her eyes thought they saw a figure in the back, but her tired mind dismissed it as an illusion. Maybe it was the images her mind was giving her to escape the boredom. But she could feel a presence that stood out among the many people in the room. Like there was a person calling to her in silence.
"Hey what are you looking at?" Kiryu asked as he looked in the same direction.
"Ame Hakufuku -(RainWhite Prostration)"a voice whispered and soon a strange mist began to evelop to hall fast. Everyone who had been touched by the mist instanly fell into a deep sleep.
"Kiryu!" Soi-fon said in urgency.
"It's a high level kido sleep spell, quickly Shaolin cancel put up a protective spell before the mist reaches us ! Captain commander you—."
"Im already on it!" the old man said as he joined the couple in making a hand symbols.
""Hanki" (Reverse Demon)!" they emitted kido energy enough to cancel off the mists effects and soon all three saw the source of the sudden kido.
Out walked in a figure clad in mystery; He wore a black hooded jacket with red vine designs on the sleeves, bandana, cloth covering lower half of face, and pants. On the center of the jacket was a red trigram star that seemed to glow in the moons light. They couldn't see much under his hood but when he tilted his head up a bit they saw peircing red eyes. He carried in his hands a sythe that had a white sapphire blade with red kanji along it.
"Who the hell are you?" Kiryu asked the stranger as he casually walked into the room. He placed his left hand on the hilt of his zanpaktou to perform a quick draw if he needed to. Soi-fon also had her blade drawn and Yamamoto simply stayed in place; daring him to even try to attack.
"Ill ask again, who are you?"
"Rounin" the stranger has responded " I never expected the captain of the royal guard would be in attendance, but this works out better than I expected it to."
"And how is that so?"
"I came to glean info for how I could get into the spirit kings plain, but now that you're here ill just ask you."
Kiryu shunpoed in a blink and clashed blades with Rounin, pushing him back against the wall. "And you think you have the strength to force that info from me!"
Rounin countered and then slashed his blade with equal mastery, then followed with shunpo. But Kiryu followed his spiritual signature and met with his counter strike. Soi-fon attempted a sneak attack, but Rounin sensed her coming and evaded while pushing back Kiryu with a relentless attack combo with his sythe. Yamamoto broke the struggle by permorming Hadō 1 "Shō" (Thrust) creating a force of reiatsu to propel Rounin out the window.
He managed to get his footing and land on top of a pillar. When Soi-fon appeared and performed a surprise palm strike, he evaporated into a vapor of mist.
"What the hell!" she shouted.
They now stood in the ultimate stand-off. Each of them ready to pull out all they had in order to crush this stranger. Rounin pointed to Kiryu and he rested his sythe on his shoulder "I wanna talk to you alone."
Kiryu stood his ground "Not a chance you—.". Rounin was grabbing him by the collar of his uniform and propelled them both into the air, before Yamamoto and Soi-fon could interfere, they both dissapeared in a shunpo.
They appeared in a emtpy grassland a good thirty miles away from the seritei, 3 miles by shunpo. The moment their feet touched the ground, Kiryu broke away and activated his zanpaktou Kurama no Kyubi and Rounin created some hand symbols.
"Born of my flesh and now fighting in my service; Bakudō 27 Kuchiyose no Jutsu –(Summoning art)" he said as he placed his hands together and a magic circle formed around him that exploded into a puff of smoke. When it cleared he was stading on top of the head of a giant black hollow demon dragon with sapphire runes along its body and a pair of midnight black feathered wings. It was sitting cross legged like a person and was smoking a pipe, a crack ran from its left hollow mask eyes.
"I thought I told ya not to summon me unless the opponent was worth it brat" the creature said to its master as it took an irritated puff of its pipe.
"He is, hes captain of the spirit kings royal guard" Rounin said as he glanced down upon the battle ready Kiryu " Aint that right Kiryu-nii"
Kiryus eyes widened in disbelief; did this man just claim to be his brother. No that was impossible his brother died two days after he was recruited in squad zero, he was a third seat in squad one last time he saw him. Before "that" night, before he received the scar that taunted his back.
So in anger/ confusion he shouted his battle cry ; "BANAKAI!"
-Hueco Mundo-
Aizen sat on his throne sipping on his tea when suddenly a large ocean of spiritual pressure crashed into his throne room. Causing the floor and walls to crack and shatter.
"Oh my did a espada above rank one release in Las Noches?" Gin Ichimaru asked with his signature fox grin. Kaname Tosen donned a look of unease at this sudden occurrence.
"No Gin, it isnt an espada" Aizen said in his cold matter-of-fact voice "This power in fact, is coming from the soul society."
"A royal guard released his bankai" Tosen said in a stunned whisper.
"And there seems to be a power matching against it" Gin obeserved "But I cant tell if it's a shinigami or an arrancar."
Aizen smirked at Gins words and summoned a random arrancar into the room. "Fetch me Ulqiorra" he said "I believe a lost treasure has been found."
