Author's note: Dear readers, thanks to a reader (Whitecat2011) that informed me of real life super soldier programs, I decided to take an interest and Google some of the stuff that even I myself thought I was exaggerating to the point of wanking.

The link is called (www).lifehack (.org) article,technology,facr-or-fiction-5-sci-fi-body-hacks-that-are-more-plausible-than-you-think (dot html)

(Replace every (,) with a (/) It's kind of sad I have to fool fanfiction into letting me post a full link like this. I'm tempted to go on strike about it.)

This link shows that there is a professor today, designing medical technology that allows a human being to run up to 45 miles per hour and run 100 meters in 5 seconds flat (an Olympic gold medalist sprinter is in the 10-12 second range). There's an exo-suit called 'hardiman' for people, that allows someone to lift 250 pounds and feel like they're only lifting 10. The U.S. military is currently funding the design for a nano-suit (Yes, Crysis fans. Your dreams are coming true) There are skin-suits used in the Olympics that correspond to the wearer's movements and lock together or stiffen when the wearer falls (to absorb the impact). There are countless examples of bionics in modern media. A track runner lost his feet, got foot bionics, and then won a major race (he was disqualified later for having an unfair advantage).

The reader himself said there was a Nazi made drug that allowed people to walk 55 miles while carrying 20 kilogram backpacks before finally giving in to exhaustion.

I willfully admit that the whole brain augmentation part is pure myth, but the body augmentations, along with all of the non-reiatsu based weapons and technology are feasibly possible, if they don't already exist in some form. Here's a wikipedia link about power armor designs in the making and already existing ones ready to be produced.

/Powered_exoskeleton

Now just imagine if something existed that would actually warrant any real attention to these fields. Right now everyone is more focused on designing the best rifle, unmanned war machine, best aerial vehicle, or best nuclear bomb defense system. If you came to any 1st world countries military with offers of a power armor that can protect the wearer from a tank round, they'd ask 'why not just spend that money on building an anti-tank bomb? Or planes to deliver bombs? It's not like there's anything that exists that we couldn't fight by just blowing it to hell and back'.

Enter monsters and hollows.

Suddenly the demand for making soldiers that can hold their own against such creatures is higher. Which means more people will be out looking for ways to achieve that result by means of already fairly established fields (like super soldier serums and powered exo-skeletons). If more people are trying to one up each other in the field of super soldiers, than more breakthroughs are made.

The PWCD has been pouring resources into those fields since the early 1900's, (along with the rest of humanity). End results? Read to find out!

Air Supremacy

December 25th, Japan, Karakura city

Aizen was disappointed in his arrancar forces.

To be fair, the Espada weren't so much as being overpowered as much as being defeated by superior tactics. The shinigami captains, as well as the majority of the shinigami forces had united in the center of the city and were making a tight perimeter. Any form of attack was usually pushed away by the shinigami.

It wouldn't have been that troublesome for the arrancar to simply overwhelm them, had they not had to focus attacking the shinigami while warding off the PWCD's armored super humans and multiple aerial vehicles. Since the Espada had no desire to cooperate with each other's armies, they were unable to form up into a proper defense, or at least work out a strategy on fighting the PWCD and Shinigami both at once. Not to mention, the groups of super humans from earlier were still running amuck, and disappearing before they could be found and destroyed.

However, if his arrancar were determined to put self-pride over common sense than they deserved the fate they would receive. He decided that if they couldn't reform to deal with the obvious threat that would undo them, than they would not be worthy of his new world.

With this thought in mind, Aizen watched the fighting between the arrancar, PWCD super soldiers, and shinigami for a little longer.

"DEATH FROM ABOVE!"

Yuri slammed his hammer into Grimmjow, who parried with his own sword. The Espada flinched when he got a zap from the thunder hammer blow. Before Grimmjow could respond, Yuri booted the Espada in the face and pushed off. Grimmjow shook off the surprise kick and looked at his opponent, who was rapidly flying away in the opposite direction.

"You coward!" Grimmjow sonido'd directly in front of the shock trooper captain.

Yuri smirked. The augment didn't seem surprised or worried that the Espada had entered his flight path. On the contrary, he anticipated it. Grimmjow's eyes widened when his opponent didn't slow down. He brought his sword up to defend from the inevitable attack.

Yuri, instead of predictably swinging his hammer again, drop kicked his feet against the Espada's sword on the flat end, pushing with his legs and using his jet pack to increase his momentum. Grimmjow was forced to brace his sword with his hand from the tip so he didn't risk dropping it. The 6th Espada was pushed back into the side of a tall building, Yuri pushing into him with his thick impact absorbing legs. Yuri followed up by swinging his hammer at Grimmjow's unprotected head. With his sword pinned under the shock trooper's feet, the Espada couldn't block.

BZZZZZT!

An explosion of reiatsu and electricity tore through the side of the building. Grimmjow went flying into an indoor parking lot, before smashing into the front of a red Lamborghini and subsequently crushing the hood of the car. Yuri followed after the Espada, intent on not letting the arrancar escape his sight.

The shock trooper captain paused after seeing what Grimmjow fell on. Yuri wasn't a person who fantasized about cars. He'd enjoy butchering monsters and spirits inside the confines of a sturdy suit of power armor far more than he'd enjoy riding a simple car. That still didn't mean he would mind owning one, however.

Grimmjow got up, infuriated at being tricked as he had. Looking down, he stared at the expensive luxury car that was still somewhat salvageable. Without a second though, the Espada jabbed his hand through the hood and lifted the entire car off the ground. He then threw it at Yuri.

The shock trooper captain tucked and rolled directly beneath the airborne car, watching as it flew out the hole they created in their fighting. When he heard a loud crash, he frowned. Turning around, he quickly blocked a downward swing from Grimmjow's sword, his hammer shooting out a burst of reiatsu and electricity to counter the force Grimmjow put behind his swing. Remembering that he was more diverse than simply using his hammer, Yuri slipped a knife from its shoulder sheath and stabbed it down into Grimmjow's hollow hole.

"AAAH!"

The Espada lost focus long enough for Yuri to rear back and clobber Grimmjow in the face with his hammer. Being slightly more prepared, Grimmjow skidded backward into a parked classic thunderbird. Once again, Yuri's eyes lingered on the vehicle. Without thinking, Grimmjow hurled the car at Yuri. The shock trooper dove to the side and went into a roll when he hit the ground. He looked over and frowned when he saw the Thunderbird fly out the same hole as the Lamborghini. It deepened when he heard what sounded like the thunderbird landing directly on top of the Lamborghini.

"Would you stop throwing cars! Those last two you threw were worth more than your life!"

Grimmjow paused. This human was getting irritated whenever he threw these things at him? The Espada smirked before his eyes looked for the most fancy and complex looking car he could find. He spotted a black and blue Bugatti that was parked on a spot that said 'reserved'. Yuri followed his gaze, and saw the Espada was looking at a multi-million dollar sports car, the car that held a world record for being the most expensive car in existence.

"You wouldn't dare."

Grimmjow normally didn't care about anything outside a fight, but he did enjoy pissing people off. With that, he sonido'd directly in front of the sports car. He swore that he saw the inanimate object flinch back at his presence. He briefly admired its sleekness before shoving his hand through the hood. The Espada turned around to lift and throw it. When his face turned around, he saw a thunder hammer flying through the air and directly at him like a Javelin.

The hammer flew true and hit the Espada square in the face. The sports car was spared any further mutilation from Grimmjow as he went sailing backward into an elevator door. Yuri flew after him with his jet pack, snatching his hammer from the ground as he passed.

Grimmjow got up, no longer amused. As Yuri charged towards him, he charged back.

The two met in a shower of sparks, reiatsu, and electricity. Every swing Grimmjow made was parried. Every Hammer blow Yuri made was blocked. Grimmjow would occasionally throw a punch or kick, to which Yuri would easily dodge or re-direct. Grimmjow sonido'd backward and fired a cero at the shock trooper. Yuri responded by turning and smashing an adjacent wall with his hammer, before hurling himself through. The augment was quick on his feet and stood up.

Grimmjow sonido'd into his face and cleaved his sword downward. Yuri side stepped and side kicked upward, striking Grimmjow in the front of his neck. The Espada stepped backward in surprise, clutching his burning throat. Glaring, he shot forward and shoulder rammed Yuri. The shock trooper saw his rush and quickly placed his hammer in between himself and Grimmjow. The Espada gritted his teeth and fought through the electrocution he was treated to. Grimmjow pushed into the human, pouring reiatsu into his feet as he drove. Yuri pushed hard in the opposite direction by cutting on his Jet pack, and firmly planting his feet. Even with the engine of his jet pack pushing back, Grimmjow was still grinding forward, step by step.

Thinking fast, Yuri banged head of his hammer into the floor below him. Grimmjow was taken by surprise and fell down the hole. Yuri fell down with him, his jet pack still going. Yuri turned so that he was pushing down into Grimmjow as they fell down a floor. Combining the jet pack's speed with both the augment's and arrancar's weight and the two crashed through two more floors, Yuri using Grimmjow to protect himself from the impact. They stopped when they landed on a large oil rig.

Recognizing what they just fell on, Yuri was quick to roll off. Grimmjow sonido'd into Yuri's face and swung his sword. Yuri ducked under the swing. He responded by swinging his hammer in a similar fashion, to which Grimmjow blocked with his sword

Thinking quickly, Yuri tackled Grimmjow and cut on his jet-pack at the same time. The force of both was enough for Yuri to forcefully push the Espada into the side of the oil rig. Before Grimmjow could punch the human off, Yuri beat him to it, by punching the Espada in the ear. The 6th Espada flinched at the assault on his eardrums. Yuri took the time to prime a grenade in his right hand. When Grimmjow swung at him again, he dunked and punched his right hand into the rig's oil supply and released the grenade.

Yuri did a quick knee to Grimmjow's crotch, making the Espada bowl over in pain. With that, Yuri flew in the opposite direction of the oil tanker until he was outside the building. He came to a stop and turned to observe the ensuing light show. Yuri calmly ignored the fact that his shock troopers were locked in a brutal melee with the arrancar, just behind him, and shook off the oil covering his right arm.

Grimmjow looked up and growled at Yuri for his cheap shot. Just when he got up to pursue the shock trooper captain, he felt that something was off.

The oil rig exploded outward, engulfing the 6th Espada in the explosion.

The shock troopers themselves were fighting with a ferocity and tenacity that only an infuriated human could have. Over half the arrancar's original numbers were killed in the initial assault. A multi-hundred pound suit of armor landing on top of enemies at up to 100 miles per hour was a deadly weapon in of itself. The shock troopers would crash into the arrancar hard enough displace the concrete and earth they landed on. Having steel like skin didn't protect from most of the effects of bludgeoning. Many of the low level arrancar found their chests being caved in, or suffering from concussions when the shock troopers crashed into them. With so many of the arrancar's number devastated in the initial attack, they were outnumbered almost 2 to 1 in favor of the augments.

In typical shock trooper fashion, they went straight into the melee.

Low-level arrancar were noticeably stronger than augments due to their ability to self-enhance with reiatsu. Augments, on the other hand, were faster and more vicious due to training, and even limited mental conditioning. Shock troopers were outright feral and brutal in any kind of combat. They may have been tired from their previous battles, but with their adrenaline pumping they were prepared to fight for another three days if that's what it took.

As the evolved hollows fought the shock troopers, the difference in skill started to show. For every 3 low-level arrancar slain, only 1 shock trooper died in the attempt. That was if it was a numerically even fight. The arrancar being heavily outnumbered by the shock troopers turned that estimate from 3 to 1, to 6 to 1.

A shock trooper found his cleaver locked to a male arrancar's axe shaped zanpokutou. To break the stalemate, he forced both their weapons to the side and gave the arrancar his hardest head-butt. The evolved hollow staggered backward both in pain and surprise at the tactic. The trooper knew that simply banging his sword ineffectually against the target would be pointless, due to that steel skin of theirs. So instead, he opted to go for the traditional method of dealing with arrancar. Stab them through any hole you can.

The trooper was not alone, as one of his allied shock troopers joined in on the attack. The arrancar took a powerful side kick to the chest, knocking it backward into a wall. When he tried to rush forward at the offending shock trooper, one of his allies shoulder charged from the side, and blindsided the arrancar. The creature stumbled back up to his feet to see both shock troopers coming at him at the same time. The evolved hollow swung his axe at one of the humans, horizontally. The augment in response, rushed forward and grabbed the arrancar's wrist and shoulder mid swing, before yanking forward in time with arrancar's own momentum.

The augment's strength combined with the arrancar's own force sent him stumbling forward straight into the other shock trooper.

This one caught the arrancar's shoulder, and twisted him around so he was facing the wall. When the arrancar finally regained his wits, he tried to turn around and swing but was cut short. The augment stomped into the back of his knee, making the arrancar fall to one knee to catch himself. The shock trooper wrapped a gauntleted hand under the evolved hollow's chin and forcefully tilted it back. The augment's free hand drew a handgun from his side and shoved the barrel into the arrancar's eye socket.

Bang!

The arrancar went limp.

Before either shock troopers could find more enemies, Edorad sonido'd in their mist. He cleaved downward on the shock trooper who had just killed another arrancar. The augment dove to the right to avoid the attack, but was left open for his enemy's follow up.

"Bala."

The shock trooper was sent rocketing back, knocking over enemies and allies alike. The shock trooper from earlier saw this and glared at his enemy's back. He shot forward and cut on his jet pack. The multi-hundred pound suit shoulder charged into Edorad's legs, hitting directly behind his kneecaps.

The fraccion's legs buckled and he fell to his knees. The shock trooper quickly got back up, and ripped out a knife from his shoulder sheath. Trying his hand at repeating what his ally had done, he tilted the fraccion's head back up, so that he could drive his knife into its eye socket.

Edorad suddenly lurched forward, flipping the shock trooper over his shoulders when the augment tried to keep his grip. Edorad punched down on the shock trooper, but the superhuman quickly barrel-rolled to the side. Before the shock trooper could get far, the fraccion fired another bala at point blank.

The focused energy punch impacted against the shock trooper while he was still on the ground, crushing the augment.

Edorad had successfully dealt with two shock troopers in seconds. He was beginning to think all the hype these soldiers got was woefully undeserved.

Before he could consider that possibility any longer, something smashed into the fraccion while he was still on his knees. He was knocked completely on his back, with spider web cracks surrounding him. Looking up, he realized why he was like this.

On top of the fraccion was a shock trooper with 9 white lines. 3 across each eye, and 3 on one shoulder pad. The augment had its boots planted firmly on his abs and shoulder. Edorad looked harder and saw that the augment was holding a long tubular weapon with a green box at the bottom. It was being aimed directly in his face.

"Don't blink."

The augment fired a light machine gun at point blank into the fraccion's face. Edorad was dead after the first shot passed through his eyeball and into his brain. The shock trooper didn't stop there though. He watched in satisfaction as the now dead fraccion's steel skin weakened more and more. Flesh started peeling away under the on slot of bullets, until the fraccion's face was an unrecognizable, bloody mess.

Finally the augment stopped firing, satisfied that revenge had been achieved.

Just then, a totaled red Lamborghini sports car flew out the side of the building he was next to. The shock trooper looked up and watched as the expensive vehicle landed on some random normal hollow with an insect's appearence. Before he could mull any farther over the unusual occurrence, a green thunderbird fell directly on top of the Lamborghini. Both vehicles exploded into flaming expensive pieces. The now dead hollow's leg twitched.

"What the hell are they doing up there?" The shock trooper said to himself.

He ducked when a cero nearly took his head off. He returned fire with his SAW light machine gun. Soon he forgot all about the occurrence.

The Meta took a step forward.

"Not yet. We need to let them whittle each other down first." Aizen calmly stated.

The Meta snarled in irritation.

Aizen narrowed his eyes at this. He understood that this creature wasn't simply breed in a life of hardships that only the strongest prevailed in, like his arrancar. The Meta was created, both physically and mentally, for battle and nothing else. It was only natural that it felt distaste at being held back on a leash until formally told to attack. The fact that bothered him was that his hybrid had actually voiced its discontent, even passively. It was possibly nothing, but Aizen decided to keep a close eye on the Meta's actions from now on.

Little did he know, the Meta was watching him as well.

The hybrid would occasionally fiddle with its weapon, a melding of a zanpokutou and a M-8 kondra. To the others, it was simply busying itself to stave off boredom. The Meta was actually catching the light from the sun to get a reflection of Aizen every so often, but it made sure to repeatedly do so uncaringly and casually. This was so that Aizen didn't notice, not that there was much chance to begin with. The Meta didn't have any actual eyes to begin with, just a skull with empty eye sockets. Aizen wouldn't be able to tell if the hybrid was looking at a reflection of him, or past the weapon entirely and at the battlefield before him. The shinigami had the power to make illusions, but not the ability to read minds. Coupled with the Meta's ability to completely suppress its own reiatsu to undetectable levels and it was entirely unreadable to anything.

And Aizen was a fool to think he could control something with such a twisted and confused thought process like the Meta. Two minds warred over control, neither winning, neither losing. The only things the hollow mind and human mind could agree on was who they disliked (though for entirely different reasons) and only occasionally how best to deal with them. This was one of those moments.

You…. Took…. Everything….

Aizen turned to look at the Meta again, getting an odd feeling from it. The hybrid was as inactive as ever, and seemingly not even paying any attention to him. Aizen was suspicious of others outside of Tosen and Gin by nature, but this was the only time that he truly had no grounds to justify it with anything, other than a bad vibe. Giving a mental shrug, he ignored it. He did, however, make a conscious effort to keep the Meta in his Peripheral at all times.

xxXxx

Author's note: In red vs blue, the Meta was always unpredictable. Sure he worked with others when necessary, but he never actually maintained any loyalty to anyone. Even before he went insane to the AI problem, he was still a bit…insane. Though to be fair, plenty of my own augments are quite a bit insane as well. In addition, this Meta has a bit of a "We are legion" feel to it. It's two minds stuck in one body, with opposing mindsets. The only thing the mind of a super soldier and a man eating hollow would agree on is that both enjoy killing to a certain degree (though one does it for a practical reason, while the other for a lifestyle reason), and that mixing their talents makes the act of killing enemies far easier. Coupling in a few other factors that I won't yet explain, and the Meta has enough enemies for both to take satisfaction in killing. In fact, it's built up an entire mental 'shit list' to go by.

Point is, if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and acts like a duck, don't trust it to stand near you with a loaded rail-rifle.

By the way, I got the Meta's ability to convert its reiastu powers entirely into physical strength from Ichigo, who did the same in his fight against Aizen.
