Invasion of the Soul Society
The Head-Captain of the Gotei 13 and the King of the Quincy's crossed blades. Shunsui's dual swords crossed together like an 'x' where Ywach's shot up and blocked them with his own blade.
Ywach was the physically bigger of the two, he stepped forward and with his greater size managed to push Shunsui back knocking him off balance. He stepped forward once more and came slashing down with his sword only for Shunsui to raised his left and block. But his right was still open and Ywach had no way to defend himself. This opening realized Shunsui swung with his right blade but Ywach simply put up his arm and blocked, the reishi forming around his arm to create a layer of blue energy to shield him.
Obviously Shunsui didn't expect it to be that easy but the sight did distract him for a moment. And in that moment Ywach stepped forward and kicked him right in the chest, knocking him off his feet and onto his back.
"Reishi." Ywach said raising his hand to show a fist that became covered in it." The weapon of the Quincy. The weapon that makes up the entire Soul Society." With just a flick of his finger Ywach caused the ground beneath him, parts of the buildings surrounding them and even from air itself begin to swirl into the same blue energy and swirl around his finger . "A weapon made to specifically fight Soul Reapers." He turned that finger down and pointed it at the Head Captain.
Shunsui watched as a beam of light shot out from Ywach's finger and came right at him.
The beam of light aroused only more attention. The message had gotten out by now that the Gotei 13 had been invading and everyone would be needed to fight it off.
In the streets mobs of Quincy and Soul Reapers already began to clash. Captain Suzunami of followed by Lieutenant Kibune of Squad Twelve prepared to enter into the battle themselves. They had just exited their barracks.
"Stay beside me Lieutenant." Seigen told Kibune over his shoulder." We don't know what we might encounter." But Kibune noticed something. He stopped listening to his Captain's words and began looking around them." And I mean to-"
"GET DOWN!" Kibune yelled. Without another word he dived forward and pushed his Captain out of the way. Just in time as a beam of fire shot forward and right through Kibune's chest.
"Kibune!" Seigen yelled looking up from the ground." NO!" But by the time he stood up to reached out to him the fire grew, only consuming his body even further.
His screams were chilling to hear, all he wanted was for the pain to spot but it only kept growing. Growing until it consumed his entire body and melted him skin from bone. The only thing more audible that his screams was laughter.
Looking past Kibune's body and across his own courtyard he saw a stranger. His cloths were all white, his hair red in a fierce Mohawk, and the look on his face was pure evil. The index finger of his right hand was raised to his face where he blew on it creating some smoke.
"Shame." He said." I had been aiming for you." Seigen looked to the charred remains of his Lieutenant before looking back at the Quincy.
"I knew him since he was a boy." Seigen told." I helped him, trained him, and hand picked him for my Lieutenant." He rose to his feet, his left hand already pawing at his sword." You will die for that."
Captain Abarai and Lieutenant Izuru were busy preparing their Division. If this was true that the Soul Society was being invaded and those responsible for Captain Hitsuguya's death were those invading then there would be war soon enough.
"Captain!" Izuru called. Renji turned and saw Izuru pointing to a nearby rooftop. Standing there overlooking the entire Division was a muscular, shirtless man with a winged helmet and cape.
"Who the hell are you?" Renji asked.
"Greetings!" He called in a booming voice and dashing smile." I am Gerard Valkyrie."
"I am the Captain of Squad Three Renji Abarai."
"I am pleased to hear it." Gerard said." I have been tasked to eliminate any and all Captains I find."
Renji reached for his own sword, gripping at the hilt.
"Well you've found one." He told." You you'll be sorry you did."
"I don't think so." Gerard said as he continued to smile." I have been given the greatest gift of all by his majesty. A weapon that no mere Soul Reaper, Captain or not could hope to defend against." Renji had only known him thirty seconds and already wished him dead. The sooner this big oaf stopped talking the better. He wouldn't give him the chance, he'd finish this fight in a single blow. He swung his sword free of his sheath releasing it's shikai and shooting it across the distance between them." You stand no chance against-" Gerard had said when Zabimaru came at him. Renji had been so pleased when the hit had found it's mark and Gerard had stopped talking. However it wasn't what he expected.
Gerard tilted his head to the right to view Renji while looking down at his blade. The head of Zabimaru was in his right hand.
"Surely you can do better?" he smiled. Renji glared his annoyance.
"Get beside him Izuru." He whispered." We'll take this guy down together." But he might have been talking to loud or perhaps Gerard had good hearing.
"Yes." He smiled." Try together. You'll need all the help you can get."
An entirely new character appeared hovering over Squad Five. A hefty man with a large white beard, constantly snapping his fingers with a smile on his face. He slowly lowered himself into the barracks.
Matsuri and Momo were ready to meet him, their seated officers right beside them. The Quincy stopped snapping his fingers so he could put them into his lips. He let out a sharp whistle.
"Lucky, lucky me." He said looking them over. He returned to snapping his fingers." Oh yea."
"Who are you?" Captain Kudo commanded.
"Pepe's the name. PePe Waccabrada babe. Love's the game."
"Love?" she asked." Is it love that's brought this?!" She pointed to the surrounding Soul Society ablaze in fire and smoke.
"Hmh." He hummed as he continued to snap." You know it baby." He stopped snapping once more, pulling his right arm back while keeping his left forward looking as if he was pulling back a bow and arrow." Feel the love." He said before releasing his hand.
Momo didn't see it but somehow her Captain had.
"Danku." Matsuri said. And while the shield between them Momo saw over a dozen arrows of reishi imbedded in the shield. The Captain had saved not only Momo but all the squad.
Pepe snapped his fingers once more before stretching them out to shoulder length and shaking them in mock fear." Oh." He accompanied it with.
The single blast Ywach had managed to summon destroyed almost everything in it's path. The buildings, the ground, and the spot where Shunsui had once stood was nothing more than a pile of rubble. The King of the Quincy's allowed himself a smile.
But by observing the area around him he saw something was wrong. There was a shadow hovering over him, but after his last attack there should be nothing left standing. He turned his head upwards to see the Head-Captain standing there both blades high above his head.
"Taka-oni." He said as he swung the blades down. Ywach had not sooner realized he was there than the slicing wind from his blades came bearing down on him, cutting into his shoulder. The sudden wound made him even more distracted that he didn't notice when Shunshui had touched down on the ground before him.
Shunsui lunged forward swinging his left blade down, but Ywach simply stepped to the side and dodged him. And when Shunsui swung with the left Ywach blocked with his own blade. With his strength Shunsui stepped forward and sent Ywach back stumbling.
But Ywach used this gap. He raised his empty hand and waved it forward. Forming inside was a big Quincy arrow. It flew through the air and separated into a dozen more.
Shunsui simply ducked down and to Ywach's surprise, he disappeared. But as he tried to think it all over Shunsui reappeared below him, from his own shadow.
He came up from the shadow and with a slash of his blade cut his enemy. Ywach managed to jump away but not without some problems. Across both his legs from the inner thigh to the caves he was cut.
Ywach looked forward to see Shunsui reappear from the shadow on the ground.
This creature was a savage one. When he first laid eyes upon them his pupils shrunk and he lunged forward with a monstrous roar. He came down swinging his giant fists. But the second he got close enough Sajin raised his arm to grab hold of his giant forearms.
The creature was bigger than him, one of the few things that could be. And his strength defiantly rivaled Sajin's own. The Captian of Squad Seven tightened his grip and with a step, turned over and flipped the Quincy onto the ground. But this enemy was a savage one swinging out his arms to knocked Sajin's feet out from under him. And when he was down crawled over the Captain, not only crushing him beneath his weight but biting into his shoulder with his sword like teeth.
"Ah!" Sajin cried out. Lucky for him his Lieutenant was there to help. Tetsuzaemon rushed forward and swung his sword down, hitting the monster in his shoulder. The Quincy stopped when the blade made contact but did not cry out or jolt at the pain. Instead he slowly turned around to face his new attacker. A growl escaped his lips as he observed the Lieutenant. Then quickly forgetting the Captain he turned his attention to him, letting Sajin go so that he could take Tetsuzaemon to the ground.
But he had no sooner gotten the Lieutenant in his clutches that Sajin jumped up and punched him in the jaw. He dropped Tetsuzaemon who quickly rolled out of the way while his Captain laid another punch on the monster's jaw. But now he replied punching Sajin across his face and nearly knocking him off his feet. When he swung with his other hand Sajin simply ducked under him to punched him once more in the face this time with enough power to knock him off his feet and sent him flying into the nearby wall.
When he stood back up to face his foe Sajin hit him with much more force. Sending the entire fist of Tenken across the Seventh Divison barracks to crush the Quincy into the dirt.
Zabimaru ripped through the air, hissing as it went. The metals parts coming apart and ready to dig into their enemies skin. But Gerard simply raised his shield, deflecting the blade and causing it to shot off into the air above him. He hadn't even bothered to draw his sword yet he was confident.
But as he deflected Zabimaru he hadn't noticed Izuru snuck up behind him.
"Raise your head." He commanded raising his sword. But he couldn't finish the command as Gerard turned on his heel and smashed his shield against the Lieutenant's face. Then as he stood there dazed Gerard grabbed him by the neck and slammed him into the ground.
But now Renji had his chance, he swung Zabimaru down and this time managed to hit it right into Garard's shoulder. Each blade cutting deeper than the last and managing to knocking Gerard to one knee.
Ywach watched as Shunsui rose up to his full height from the shadow. Despite his wounds, he couldn't help but smile.
"I am happy to see you're still alive." Ywach said." I had hoped such a small attack wouldn't finish you off so soon." Shunsui said nothing so he continued." I've outlived two Head-Captains. I fought Yamamoto many years ago but never had the pleasure of killing him myself. And I myself wasn't there when young Toshiro passed as well." He put both hands forward." So I'll just have to make up for it with you."
