Author Notes: I realized that doing the Dio Hueco names in their base entirety would be a mouthful, so I'm shorting them for the sake of differing them from their godly past- a thing they're trying to distance themselves to start with and to not anger any Aztec god fans because the depictions of these characters are very different from their base inspirations- aside from traits from their mythology- both ability and some personality quirks at times. Also Kami and Quincy share a similar German theme for named attacks regardless of country of origin.

Also I'm confirming at least in this fanfic, that the Asauchi are demon parasites made to restrain the actual Zanpakuto...whether Ōtetsu is fully aware of this truth is unclear at the moment or for Ichibe for that matter. With demons/Akuma having a French theme.

A sound mind makes a strong body and both make a strong spirit...this along with the Three Sacred Treasures of Japan and the Top God Trinity of Shinto Japan make up the true themes of Kazui's weapon arsenal.

Also Akuzu utilizes a much different use of powers than normal Soul Reapers, so his type of Kido spells are much different.

Chapter 26: The Rising of the True Sun


"What made that crater...Must be something big...a meteor...or asteroid...," Yōenna observed casually as most of the people could only not see or only see the airy outlines of the form.

"His Reiatsu...," Ichika said worriedly.

"Yes, very powerful.," Azuku added.

"Where's the Kurosaki kid? Tezcatlipoca said he'd be here...maybe to plan a counterattack to our plans...," said Tonatiuh.

"I am the The Fifth Sun. He Who Goes Forth Shining. He Who Makes The Day. Bring me him!," he declared aloud.

Since only a few people could see him anyways, no one heard or paid attention to him.

"Alright, I'm burning you all up. Bedeutung (Prominence).," declared the Dio Hueco, summoning a solar energy loop from his mouth, before Kazui grabbed Akuzu's Shi no Henshin to become a Soul Reaper while his body remained in class.

"Hello, there. I'm kinda in the middle of class right now...maybe, we can talk...or fight later...?," Kazui suggested.

"There you are. Guyabouttobesmackedintothesideofabuildingsayswhat...," Tonatiuh gleefully responded as he readied a solar energy infused fist.

"Oh crud-," Kazui said before Tonatiuh smacked him into the side of a building.

"Kazui!," Ichika said aloud with Yōmi trembled.

"I guess he's dead. Now to destroy this town since nobody's left to stop me from destroying this town...Huh?," gloated the Dio Hueco before he noticed Kazui was being covered by a periwinkle tail emitted from his Zanpakuto.

"Oh well, I'm going to destroy this town anyway...through overheating everything-," he added before Kazui interrupted.

"My turn to talk.," Kazui said

"Huh?," Tonatiuh replied with a blank smile on his face.

"You're probably going to be killing every Soul Reaper/agent of the Soul Society gathered in the Soul Society for whatever nefarious purpose and I'm likely to stop you..., but I'm ill prepared right now. Mind if you give me time to make myself stronger so I can be more of a challenge?," Kazui asked as he bowed down.

"...Should I do it?," the Dio Hueco asked himself.

"No.," said a voice as a Garganta opened in the sky.

"...Should I do it?," the Dio Hueco asked the voice in the sky.

"No.," the voice declared again as the owner of the voice then downward kicked Tonatiuh.

It belong to a large humanoid with pale white skin, shoulder-length periwinkle hair shaped like turkey tail feathers, narrow maroon iris eyes with a hook nose remaining. He had Mindaro colored snake/arrow ended markings on the back of his neck, his elbows, knees and lower spine. He wore a doctor's coat over a business suit, dress pants and shoes.

"Chalchuhtotolin! The Jade Turkey. The Jeweled Fowl!...Should I do it?," Tonatiuh asked his colleague.

"Darn another one!," Ichika noted with fear.

"No...And We've been over this Tonatiuh...Our names are incomprehensible and hard for humans...or anyone else in the modern age to tell. For now, we have those less complicated names.," said the hooked nose Dio Hueco.

"Oh you're Chalchu Toliin- short for Chalchuhtotolin. I'm Tona Tiuh- short for Tonatiuh. Xiu Cuhtli- short for Xiuhtecuhtli. Hue Coyotl- short for Huehuecoyotl. Xoch Pill- short for Xochipilli. Chalchi Cue- short for Chalchiuhtlicue. Tlat Tecu- short for Tlaltecuhtli. Tla Loc- short for Tlaloc- wonder why he's doing that name when it's not nearly as long as everyone else's? You don't call tonic- To Nic. Or mustard- Mus Tard-," the sun faced Dio Hueco explained before he went on a bizarre tangent.

"Get back to the point.," complained Chalchu.

"Oh right. Metz Li- short for Metztli. Mictlan Tecuhtli- Mictlantecuhtli. And then Tezcatil Poca- short for Tezcatilpoca. And if we ever see Xipe Totec and Quetzalcoatl again- we call the former the same and the latter Quetzal Coat.," concluded Tona.

"I feel like you're forgetting someone.," Tona noted while Chalchu smirked.

"You mean Huitz Ilopoch- short for Huitzilopochtli? He's the errand boy- hardly worth our notice. Ignore the boy's pleas and destroy this town...," Chalchu said.

"Wait, doesn't he need this town for stage two of the plan?," asked the sun Dio Hueco.

"...As if we listen to the Soul "Emperor" and let ourselves be his pawns.," Chalchu said with a sinister grin, causing Tona smile a mad grin as well.

"Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?," asked a voice slowly zooming out of the Garganta before it landed in front of them. It was a tall humanoid with dark brown skin, a short green flattop, weapon themed tattoo markings on his face of a a spiked mace design on his forehead, axes on each cheek and an upward sword on his chin; and lastly green markings in the shapes of swords adoring his body with green swords markings covering his brow ridge, the dorsal part of the nose and his thin lips. He wore a traditional Aztec Warrior uniform adorned with ancient depictions of the Aztec religion.

"Why Lord Tonatiuh and Lord Chalchuhtotolin?! He has potential unlike those "Espada" and "Arrancar" we defeated. Will not give him a chance?," implored the arrived Dio Hueco before Chalchu kicked him.

"The boy could threaten us if he were stronger, Huitz...And why haven't you changed your outfit since our meeting with our associate's "Hōgyūkō" to evolve us from our previous state? We've abandoned our past in order to reach a better future..Also stop calling us that...that side of us is gone forever...," he said scathingly.

"I wanted to honor my status as a former Warrior God, but if that is what you ask. I will comply Lord Chalcu...," Huitz said with a resigned, yet resentful tone of voice.

"You're scared then...How can you potentially rule all of existence if you're scared of a little boy? Won't you look like a coward if you were known to kill a kid because of a potential threat? Especially to any who would follow your lords-," Kazui asked with a cunning smirk.

"Such trickery won't work on me.," the flattop Dio Hueco said as he manifested his elongating serpentine lance.

"Such a shame. I would guess if I were given till high school. I'd be able to destroy you.," Kazui began to bargain.

"What was that?," Huitz asked with a furrowed brow.

"I'm just a kid with limited abilities right now, but I were to be a young man, I'd be able to give you a proper fight.," Kazui explained.

"You have no proof to be able to-," Huitz said before Tsuki unleashed eight tails from the Zanpakuto, which the Dio Hueco easily dodged.

"Child's play-," Huitz remarked before the hidden ninth managed to thwack the Dio Hueco, causing a diagonal scar down his face. This managed to make him angry under a face of stoic expression.

"I must be the first in eons to hurt you...in a while...When I put my mind to something I can accomplish anything. I was trained by Captain Commander Kyoraku and Captains Mayuri, Zaraki, Soifon, Shinji, Kensei, Lisa, Hachigen Byakuya, Toshiro, Rose, Rukia, and Sajin in the art of combat...also Former Vice Captain Hachigen ," Kazui explained, which got Ichika shocked and Akuzu even more so.

That's bull. Grandpa Isshin, Mr. Ichigo, Yoruichi, Tessai, Dad and Urahara Sensei taught you?!...I mean you didn't skip out on classes right?, Ichika thought.

You can't just reveal you're from an alternate timeline. They might want to conquer that next after conquering everything- you just gave them a hint., thought Akuzu with sweat going down his brow.


Soul Emperor's Palace Entrance

Captain Iba sneezed while Sajin accompanied him.


Karakura Elementary

"If that doesn't interest me...just kill me and leave my friends be. Let's get this over with. It's going to horrible to be killed by a monster-," Kazui continued.

"Explain.," Huitz asked.

"Mind if I get a blind fold. I don't want to see my body be torn to shreds-," Kazui complained.

"What doesn't mean? Does that mean you're skilled in more areas than one and that you're hiding powers from me?!," Huitz demanded.

"It'll be a shame if you just got rid of me just to cover your humiliation with a cover story of how you tripped on a rock over being scratched by a child of a Soul Reaper...which is more humiliating?," Kazui suggested, which caused an angry vein on the Dio Hueco.

"The only way to regain your honor and pride would be to combat me at my full power.," Kazui suggested with a wink.

"I don't need to do so, you coward, begging for your life. I can just kill you and heal myself-," Huitz explained by looking at his superiors.

"I injured you while I was inexperienced. If you gave me until I was in high school, then you wouldn't feel the guilt of killing a child on your conscience. And you'd get a fair fight a warrior like you deserves- as the first person to hit you in eons, I deserve that much...if you feel the need to kill me before I'm matured...do it...," Kazui interrupted, which caused more angry veins in the Dio Hueco.

"You brat.," Huitz yelled as he turned to his superiors.

"I'm not authorizing it-," Chalcha explained before two large purple iris eyes appeared on the Garganta.

"Lord Tezcatil.," declared the three as they kneeled before him.

"We don't trust Abeseimei as far as we can throw him. Maybe having a distraction will make it easier for us to take over while the rabble fight amongst themselves. You hear that...you can improve...," said the echoing voice coming from the eyed portal.

"Thanks for-," Kazui said before the air became tense.

"Tona. Chalchu and Huitz will return. Zanpakuto can trained for years...I sense he has the potential for Rei-Ken, which you know what that means...a reactive desire..perhaps for revenge or the salvation of others...," the voice interrupted.

"Lord Tezcacetil!," Huitz yelled as he realized what would now happen.

Tona grinned as he began to illuminate with a golden light as the other two left into the portal as it closed behind them.

"What's that-," Kazui asked before suddenly the entire area was being to be engulfed in that light.

"Tch-," Ichika said as she summoned an orange barrier around the students, which quickly began to collapse in on itself.

Akuzu then pulled out a paper charm in the form of a bull headed fish creature from his pocket.

"Onmyōdō Shikigami No. 299: Rokugyo.," he declared as the creature became a transparent, blue energy bull-headed fish with a snake-like tailsand wings sprouting from above its ribs.

"What the-," Ichika said before it summoned the class and sank into floor like water as it caused the ground to ripple like liquid.


Across Karakura Town

Orihime instinctively called forth her strongest barrier around the Kurosaki Clinic.

Karin for some reason, was under a heavy fever as she began to emit black flame like spots, which made Yuzu more worried on top of the encroaching barrier.

Ryūken Ishida, a middle-aged man of average height and appears quite fit for his age, though after ten years since the fight with Yhwach, he had noticeable tear-troughs and bags under his eyes. He wore thin, frameless glasses and a plain grey suit with a light blue shirt and a tie adorned with Quincy crosses. He had narrow blue iris eyes, and was fair-skinned with white hair. He looked stern in the face of the encroaching golden light.

Another man rushed into his office.

"What's going on?! Why was Ryō called back here?! She had a big race to run!," asked Uryū, a bespectacled, fair skinned, blue-iris eyed man of average height and slender build, with black hang mostly on the right-side of his face, and the rest hang behind his left ear, due to his glasses.

"Where's Mizuryū?!," demanded the younger man.

"His Reiatsu is under safe care. Kirchenlied: Sankt Zwinger (Church Hymn).," he said as he generated a number of roman numeral-inscribed constructs from his fingers of his right outstretched hand, causing several towering columns of Reishi, shaped like the Quincy Cross, to erupt upwards in a circular formation around the hospital. It managed to block the flow of the blast from from destroying the hospital if not much else.

"I thought you'd-," Uryū asked before Ryūken shouted-

"It's a desperate situation!"


However, everywhere else including Tatsuki, Mizuiro, Keigo, Chizuru, Michuru, Ikumi, her other son- Kaoro, the countless bullies Ichigo encountered, Mahana, etc all across the town.

All eradicated by the light, leaving a vacant ground where only the Kurosaki Clinic, the Karakura Hospital and the Elementary school remain.

"I did a baddie. Now we can't get more Ptera recruitments from here due to them all likely going to the Soul Society...maybe a few more...," Tona said to himself as he looked around.

He then saw nine tails, covering the spot where Kazui lay.

He scratched his head as the tails uncovered to reveal Kazui in his Tyrannosaurus-esque Visored Mask, absolutely infuriated behind the helm.

He lunged forward with a Grand Rey Cero prepared with his Zanpakuto still sealed due to no moon visible in the sky, but was easily knocked to the side by the Dio Hueco.

"Bitch, please.," he said menacingly slapped as he slapped Kazui several kilometers away.

He then noticed the bull-headed flying fish/serpent hybrid floating out from the ground.

"Heh, he'll definitely get stronger if I manage to bring his friends as sacrifices.," he said as he began to chase after the floating energy beast.

Meanwhile Kazui lay unconscious.


Kazui awoke in his pitch black headspace to see Tsuki in its Shikai form, a droopy dog eared nine tailed kitsune with with rounded snot with no nostrils- except instead of being cosmically colossal, he was more the size of a normally acceptable stature- that of a large dog. He also had his various shades of blue eyes closed and seemed friendlier.

"Why did you lie to me?," Kazui asked with a stern seriousness before Tsuki bonked him on the head with the third tail.

"It's not that I didn't want to tell you...I literally can't tell you...I was able to prevent it from taking over, but-," it explained as it noted to the chain to a cage being safeguarded by an Asauchi, a white being with two mouths in the spots where eyes would normally be, but otherwise featureless.

"An Asauchi?!," Kazui said in shock.

"It's the ultimate power Zanpakuto- able to take on any power due to its potential to be anything, so it could negate anything I tried to do. I can't believe these kinds of generic swords are lent to those nameless grunts, could be so strong. And Soul Reapers spend every waking moment with their own model, progressing in their training, slowly and methodically imprinting the essence of their soul into it, making it easier for that Soul Emperor guy to spy on that person, have them killed or have them taken over/replaced if need be, while they get this artificially "unique" Zanpakuto out of it. Making them sleeping agents. I wanted to keep you from that fate from releasing all of my secrets so it could see it and take me over and pretend to be your Zanpakuto.," explained the beast.

"You're much calmer in this state.," Kazui noted, having been more used to the Bankai state than anything.

"You can't beat it with me. It's got me chained. You need the Rei-Ken, the sword of the heart...temporally before that Ashiyama guy can come back here in order to get you prepared to do the actual thing.,"

The Asauchi noticed and its mouths merged into a single mouth,, it opened two pinkish-red pie-cut pupils with black sclera and grew a single horn. It then generated a pinkish flame from its hands.

"Damn, they are Akuma...Why's your hair still orange?," Tsuki asked.

"Akuzu had to do it in order to...Why are you asking me that?," Kazui inquired.

"I thought it was cause Ichigo was the one possessing the energy of that Abe-shit, it would be connected to his sisters and you...it seems he only went for the most developed...He might come after you for it..and it's gonna be an omen for you..," noted the white kitsune.

"...Heh, it's the opposite...I think I can use it based on what I see from this guy..this isn't reality...well, not physical reality, so I can do what I want here because this is all me...," Kazui said as parts of his hair began to twist until it made a noticeable horn lump, which made the Asauchi nervous.

Copying the technique of the horned beast, Kazui generated a powerful black flame to incinerate the Asauchi, which screamed as it vanished.

The chain and the cage belonging to it vanished, leaving Tsuki freed.

"My name isn't Tengoku Hachi Gao (Eight Faces of Heaven). It's Kūmen Kagami Ken no Tsuki (Nine Sided Mirror Sword of the Moon). The name of the Bankai isn't Tsuki no Hyaku Hachi Tengoku Gin-Jū No Ryoshu (108 Heaven Silver Beast Lord of the Moon). It's Mugen no Tsuki no Kami: Tsukiyomi (Infinite Moon God: Tsukuyomi).," explained the kitsune as a blue crescent emblem appeared on his head.

"I'll still call you Tsuki...more importantly...what does the horn mean?," Kazui asked.

"I don't know...maybe because Abeseimei's a demon and Ichigo inherited his demon powers via his hair color and you did the same- maybe you got Demon powers...," Tsuki answered bluntly.

Kazui noticed the blackness of the space turned white as...

Kazui's usual mindset began to appear.

A bizarre wonderland of smiling suns, hopping rabbits, smiling cats, laughing flowers, dragons, unicorns, goblins, etc.

"Seems about right.," Tsuki remarked.

Kazui then turned around to see another entity that now manifested, a three red-eyed crow with six legs, six pairs of wings and a red magatama necklace around its neck. The most unusual thing about it was the sun like sphere hanging over its head.

"So thou hast managed to withdraw the Imiter (Mimic) parasite from yourself. For it a fraudulent beast that spreads falsehoods of companionship and only offers deception.," said the crow in a deep, feminine voice with an archaic tone.

"I'm guessing you're my Rei-Ken...," Kazui noted before the bird raised its wings.

"A sound soul dwells within a sound mind and a sound body...For those who art in balance with thine mind and heart can achieve the third power- the Tamashī Ken (Soul Sword).," explained the bird as an eight-headed serpentine dragon rose its head in the distance.

"Who are you both?," Kazui asked.

"So much that must be taught about thine Reaper heritage... for I am Yasakani no Magatama: Amaterasu and the one in the distance is Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi: Susanoo. We'll educate you our Shikai...Bankai...for there is also other elements of the Reaper that must be learned beyond the mutation of sword, manipulation of sorcery and the intermingling of just two or more racial powers...For now, you receive the second of the San Teikoku no Ken (Three Imperial Swords) in addition to learning the true name of the first.," explained the bird.


"I see a black bird...," Tona said as he stopped chase to see Kazui's body manifesting a black bird Reiatsu over it with a black flame like texture.

And it opened its three red eyes.
