Episode 10: The Truth Revealed!
The Tunnels-
Mangetsu and the others landed at the entrance to the Tunnels. Earlier Mangetsu had had to draw multiple arrows so that they could move on. Her sister was a more acurate shot when it came to their bankai, but the point of her own abilities were not dependent on accuracy when it came to bankai.
Suddenly a huge pillar of flame shot out from inside the Tunnel entrance, the shinigami barely dodging it. Shingetsu laughed in excitement as she lept back down, Mangetsu and Zangetsu following shortly after. Zangetsu shot forward into the tunnels, beginning his "Hunt" for the Captain-Commander. The group followed shortly after being wary on the most part to not draw the attention of whatever or whoever blasted fire at them earlier. Zangetsu's howl broke through almost immeidately shattering the quiet caves, he had found his query.
Mangetsu and Shingetsu immeidately flashstepped toward the direction, Mangetsu giving a signal to Hyorinmaru that they would catch up to them later, and to go on ahead. Hyornmaru gave a hesitant nod as they split at a fork in the Tunnels, going a different direction from Mangetsu and Shingetsu.
The Prison holding the captured Genryusai-
Shingetsu immediately drew her bow, her sister quickly gliding an arrow into her hand, as she let it fly. It hit the barrier surrounding the Captain-Commander, shattering it as the old man stood up. He walked over to the two girls and bowed to them in thanks. They gave a nod of understanding, before quickly rushing off after a loud explosion resounded throughout the narrowly spaced walls.
Outside in the nearby woods-
Ryuu'jin Jakka lashed out at the surrounding shinigami and their zanpakuto, burning some of them but not quite getting all of them yet. Muramasa laughe maniachally all the while.
The captain commander and the twins appeared, immediately firing an arrow that narrowly missed Muramsa's head. Suddenly Ryuu'jin Jakka lashed out at the girls who stood defiantly at him, not even flinching as the flames came closer. Shingetsu dispersed her bow, reaching into her sleeve as she pulled out a pure black arrow. Mangetsu materialized a pure white bow, gently taking the arrow from her sister, and notching it. She let the arrow fly directly into the oncoming flames, as she shouted out her attack,
"Piasu getsumen no hansha!" she called out as the arrow began to glow bright red, absorbing Ryuu'jin Jakka's flames. It continued its flight unimpeded, bursting into flames as it embedded itself into Muramasa's arm. He growled as his flesh was burned by the now supercharged arrow, and quickly removed it, tossing it to the ground where it disappeared. As the shinigami prepared to attack, the two opposing zanpakuto froze in place, as a giant crack appeared in the sky above them.
It opened, revealing an all too familiar traitor. Sosuke Aizen, ex-shinigami captain of 5th squad and probably the worst villian to ever cross Sthe Seireitei, and more insane then Mayuri and Kenpachi combined. (That's saying something!)
"AIZEN!" yelled out the Captain-Commander as his eyes widened in shock. The two opposing zanpakuto had not moved an inch, infact, Mangetsu was sure that the two were frozen in time. The man's appearance at this time was strange, to everyone else but the twins who put things together very quickly.
"This whole war between shinigami and zanpakuto-""Is your fault isn't it?" they said, Shingetsu finishing the sentence Mangetsu started. This caused all the shinigami to look in surprise at the two, before going back to glaring at the traitor.
"Heheh...Very astute of you Ichigo. Though I don't recognize the other one, I must say you've grown quite a bit!" he stated as if they were old friends or something. Mangetsu spat at him in disgust, not deigning to give anymore reaction other then to fire a quick succesion of arrows. They all missed as he dodged them, before explaining his little plan,
"Well I must say that this worked out quite well, all of Gotei 13 is in a good amount of chaos. Pefect!" he stated happily. This caused several to shout out in anger,
"What do you mean by perfect? What did you do?" they asked. Aizen just laughed at this before explaining,
"Heheh, simple really. I planted an idea into Koga's zanpakuto's head, which I left to fester and grow until now. The idea was simple really, 'Shinigami use us, and don't appreciate us. We are kept locked up in their minds. It's not right, unfair! The shinigami must pay!' It was just a matter of time before it organized a rebellion! Causing mass chaos and weakening the Gotei 13. Brilliant no?" he seemed to ask. He continued as he gave a wave, "Well I must be going now! Good luck getting your zanpakuto back-" he stated just before narrowly dodging Mangetsu's arrow, which managed to seperate him from his zanpakuto. Suigetsu fell until it was caught in the jaw of Zangetsu, who immediately went to making it impossible to retrieve by running into the woods. Aizen growled slightly before deciding heading back to his hiding place, and as far away from the others as possible.
Mangetsu sighed, deciding that that was about as good as it would get, taking his zanpakuto from him. A minor payback for all the disruption he caused. She quickly refocused back on the two zanpakuto.
The fight continued, until Mangetsu finally decided that this battle wasn't going to end easily. There was only one thing she could think of that could stop this now. But it was risky, and involved quite the price. She sighed as she realized that she and Shingetsu had no choice, or else everyone might die. She flashstepped up into the air, Shingetsu following shortly after. Hyorinmaru called out to her as she looked back at him, stopping to give him a gentle kiss on the cheek before facing Muramasa and Ryuu'jin Jakka.
"I'm sorry, Hyorinmaru...Aishiteru." She spoke in a whisper as she and Shingetsu preparred their final move.
A/N. I decided how I'm gonna wrap this up, so next chapter will most likely be the wrap up for this story, if not the one after it. Yay, I'm finally finishing one of my stories. Please rate and/or review and see ya!
Ichigo & Hyorinmaru: Bye!
