The Hollow Soldier
I don't own Naruto, Bleach, or any elements of Assassin's Creed.
Ichigo currently fought with Ikkaku while Rukia fought with Renji and both were wondering what was going on. They all suddenly stopped when an enormous ocean of Reiatsu fell on them and they all struggled to remain standing. They looked toward the shadows and saw someone standing there. The person stepped out to reveal that they were wearing a skin tight black bodysuit with modern military armor over all the normal places a samurai would have it. He wore a black mask that covered the lower half of his face and black tinted sunglasses under his spiky black hair. His left arm was made of a pure white metal and across his back was a sheath with the handle of a cutlass. However, the most defining feature was the pointed cloth hood over his head.
"An Assassin?" asked Ichigo in confusion.
The Assassin calmly walked forward and Renji and Ikkaku broke off their fights with Rukia and Ichigo.
"I don't know who you are but you won't get in our way!" shouted Ikkaku as he and Renji ran at the Assassin.
With speed that none of them could follow, the Assassin closed the distance between them and held two black pistols to their chests. He pulled the triggers and with a loud bang, both Renji and Ikkaku slumped to the ground.
"You didn't have to kill them!" shouted Ichigo as he stormed up to the Assassin.
There was another bang and Ichigo staggered back as he began to lose feeling in his left leg.
"Ichigo!" shouted Rukia before the Assassin appeared in front of her with a pistol to her abdomen.
Rukia froze as she looked where the Assassin's eyes would be and seemed to be paralyzed in fear.
"Sie müssen vorsichtig sein, oder Ihr Kind in der ein Wimpernschlag zu sterben." said the Assassin before he put the pistol away and ran into the shadows, vanishing as he did so.
"Huh?" asked Suiren as she stared at the monitor.
"What is it?" asked Ggio as he came up behind Suiren.
"Get Loly and Menoly and head to the World of the Living." ordered Suiren, "I need you to be on the look out for any odd Reishi Signatures."
"But it's their turn to take care of Martel." said Ggio.
"Then take her to Urahara's with you." said Suiren in an angry tone, "I've had Harribel on my ass for the last few days trying to find Naruto and I really don't need this right now."
Ggio rolled his eyes the left the room. Suiren got back to the computer and ran a hand through her hair.
"Where the hell did you go?" she thought in worry as she continued to search all four worlds for Naruto.
Nozomi ran from Izuru and Nanao when she was suddenly forced to the ground. She looked back up and saw a girl with long black hair firing a multitude of white arrows from a bow made of Reishi. Nanao and Izuru fell back as the girl grabbed Nozomi and they both vanished.
They reappeared in an abandoned warehouse district and both took deep breaths. The woman that saved Nozomi quickly put her against the wall and pulled out a short ornate broadsword and narrowed her eyes.
"That won't hold them off for long." said the woman, "That was only to hold them off while we escape."
"Are you okay?!" called out Kon as he came running up in Ichigo's body.
"Stuff it." growled the woman as she looked around, "And in case you're wondering, the name's Bambietta."
She quickly got behind Nozomi as Kon was restrained against a wall by Kido.
"You struggled for nothing." said Inaba as he came out of the shadows.
Bambietta got between hiim and Nozomi and held up her sword. Izuru and Nanao appeared above Inaba and frowned down at Nozomi.
"Forgive us." apologized Nanao, "That Quincy caught us off guard."
"It's alright." said Inaba as he turned to the two.
Harribel stormed through her Assassin compound as she was pissed that Naruto had gone missing when she came upon her Fraccion.
"Anything?" asked Harribel.
The three Fraccion jumped in surprise before turning to their master.
"Well, Suiren sent Ggio, Loly, and Menoly to the World of the Living to check out this odd Reishi Signature." reported Mila Rose.
"We offered to go as well but Suiren said that these two were too weak to survive there." said Sung-Sun.
"Shut up, you blasted snake!" shouted Apacchi.
"She sent Loly and Menoly to the human world?" asked Harribel in a slightly edgy tone.
The three Fraccion suddenly remembered one of Naruto old orders and all three comically turned pale as they nodded. Harribel vanished through a Garngata and the three Arrancars let out a sigh of relief.
"Well, those three are screwed." said Apacchi as the other two agreed.
Bambietta felt a strong number of Reiatsu approaching and vanished with a burt of Hirenkyaku. She reappeared in a medium sized and dark apartment then turned on a lamp before going into the kitchen and getting a glass of wine. She turned around and saw the same man that Ichigo and Rukia had seen sitting in a chair that the light didn't reach.
"That didn't take long." said Bambietta as the man remained silent while she took a seat across from the man, "Still not speaking, huh?"
The man continued to remain silent as Bambietta tossed a file onto the coffee table between them.
"His majesty said you're allowed to pick one target of your choice." said Bamibetta as she took a sip of wine before standing up, "Now, I've got to go check on how a little someone is doing."
She licked her lips and left the room. The man opened up the file and sifted through the photos. He held up one and it went up in flames in his hand.
(The Next Day)
"There is something else." stated Rukia after Kurotsuchi briefed them about Inaba, "We were confronted by the Hollow Soldier, who killed the Reigi Renji and Madarame."
Everyone in the room but Ichigo tensed up a little and while Kurotsuchi sighed.
"Well, I was really hoping they could kill him so I could examine his corpse." said Kurotsuchi in disappointment.
"What's the Hollow Soldier?" asked Ichigo.
"He's the person you saw back in the Seireitei." said Toshiro, "Several weeks ago, a large number of our squads were found murdered in their sleep. The culprit left no trace he was ever there and never tripped off any alarms."
"Not even Suiren found anything odd." stated Sui-Feng, who was now wearing a modified version of her regular outfit with an Assassin hood over her head and two Hidden Blades on her arms, "The only thing we know about him is from the account of Seventh Seat of Squad 4, Hanataro Yamada. He's a highly trained individual with high combat skills and modernized weapons. He also gives off the presence of a Hollow."
"But how is that possible?" asked Ichigo.
"Master Mayuri's hypothosis is that he's able to completely seal off his Reiatsu and his Reishi signal." said Nemu, "He also possesses weapons that are similar to that of a Quincy."
"But no such weapons exist." stated Mayuri excitedly, "That's why I want to get my hands on him."
The window suddenly shatted and Yachiru fell off the bed with a through and through bullet hole in her shoulder, which also hit Byakuya. Everyone went on high alert and Sui-Feng ran out the window with everyone but Mayuri and Nemu following.
"Aren't we going to capture him?" asked Nemu.
"Let the others do that." said Mayuri as he continued to sit on Ichigo's desk, "As long as they leave enough for me to examine, I'm fine if they kill him.
Sui-Feng scanned the rooftops of the city when she saw a man in black running from the rooftops. She tried to use Shunpo to get in front but by the time she landed on the ground, the man was already past her. She continued her persuit and held her right arm out in front of her.
"Hado #63: Raikōhō!" she shouted as what seemed like lightning shot out of her hand.
The man stopped an instant later and caught the Kido in his left hand, to Sui-Feng's shock and fear. She looked at his eyes and saw the sickly green eyes had dark circles around them, giving the appearence he'd been up for weeks. He clenched the Kido tightly and threw it right back at her with twice the force. Sui-Feng froze as the attack came screaming at her and she shielded herself. An explosion followed and Sui-Feng looked to see a blonde Arrancar shielding her.
"Harribel..." said Sui-Feng in shock.
Harribel swept her sword aside and dispersed the smoke to reveal the man was gone.
"I'm guessing that was the Hollow Soldier I've heard about?" asked Harribel, recieving a nod in reponse, "Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go kill three Arrancars."
She vanished with a burst of Sonido and Sui-Feng went back to check on Yachiru and Byakuya.
Loly, Menoly, and Ggio were lounging around the basement of the Urahara Soten, waiting for everyone upstairs to finish setting up the barbeque when they felt an angry Reiatsu and all three turned pale. Harribel appeared before them and they all gulped nervously.
"You two were supposed to stay back at the base." said Harribel angrily to Loly and Menoly before she wheeled around to the trying to flee Ggio, "You know that whoever is watching Martel isn't allowed to leave either."
She felt a tugging on her hand and looked at a small child with light green hair and sapphire blue eyes.
"But, Harribel, I wanted to see the World of the Living." said the child.
"But your father gave us instructions to make sure you were protected." said Harribel as she knelt down in front of the child.
"But Daddy also would've wanted me to see all four worlds." said the child, "And he promised me that he'd take me to see them one day. Just like you promised him."
Harribel bit her lip at this but then smiled. She hugged the child and got one in return.
"Fine." said Harribel calmly, "You can stay. But don't leave the grounds of the shop without one of us. Got it, Martel?"
"I promise." said Martel before she fell asleep in Harribel's arms.
