Chapter 5

The Fight for survival! a shocking revelation

The emperors room was decorated in pure gold, ornamented in traditional curtains that set the foreground below his throne. Light scattered through the colorfully painted windows as the room

lit up magnificantly. The dense atmosphere signaled the beginning of an epic war that would determine soul societys fate. Yamamoto gripped his katana lightly with a wide grin on his face.

"You said four against one right?" Ryougi looked at Yami, and stood there puzzled as he spoke again.

"Theres five of us Ryougi, you just let your guard down."

Immediately Tousen appeared behind Ryougi and impaled him with his soul slayer directly above his stomach. Blood erupted from the emperors chest violently, as he stood there suffering. Ryougi gripped the blade of Tousen's sword as he broke it in half, and with the flick of a finger sent him flying through the wall. Maniaclly, he ripped the blade from his chest and threw it to the ground. "Genryusai, you never change. Once a fool always a fool," screamed Ryougi, laughing hysterically.

Komamura stepped in this time charging at the emperor as he called upon his swords name, releasing a wave of energy that shredded the ground. The tsunami shaped blast raced toward Ryougi at an unthinkable

speed tearing apart the entire central hall as it drew nearer. "Awaken, Cerberus!" the tyrant shouted as the elements surrounded the blade of his sword. With one quick swipe of his soul slayer the emperor blocked

Komamura's blast with ease and blinded him. "Cerberus Form 2! Dragon of the Heavens!" Ryougi summoned. The sky grew dark as the entire central hall had evaporated to nothing more than rubble. Out of the

shadows of the kitana, a dragon emerged engulfed in pitch black flames. The magnitude of its roar sent Komamura flying into the endless debris, leaving only Yami, Ukitake and Shunsui able to fight.

The dragons

head emitted lightning that struck the ground and shattered the very foundation on which they fought on. The collosal beast grew angry as its eyes glowed pure red like the depths of hell. It charged Shunsui

and then disappeared without a trace. Ukitake pleaded to Shunsui desperately, "Watch out!" Just as he had said that Ryougi took his soul slayer and turned it upside down. "Dragon of the Heavens Shunpo!" In

that instant everything went silent. The dragon appeared behind Shunsui moving so fast that he created an after image of his movements. Just before Shunsui could be struck by the Shi Kai of the emperor he threw

his hand back to his shoulder and blocked the fang of the dragon and stabbed it in the head. The dying animal was now screeching as it flopped around until it hit the ground and retreated into the emperors soul

slayer. "You three have fought very well, but it looks like its time to end this minor dispute," replied Ryougi in a cocky voice.

"This next move is inescapable and only I am immune to its power because its connected

with my reiatsu. When I release this, not even the heavens can help you. If the fang of my dragon does not rip you apart then suffer from the poison of my kitana. Anyone who is hit by this blast will forever be damned

to live in sickness all of their life. A sickness that will kill you slowly over hundreds of years leaving only a suffering corpse. Shi Kai form 3, Hells Atonement!" The poisonous, red gas spread throughout the air as

Yamamoto and Shunsui escaped just in time. They raced for guillotine hill until they realized that Ukitake was longer behind them. There they were, standing alone on the former battle grounds struggling to stay

alive from this overpowered tyrant. "Listen to me shunsui, this is our last chance," exclaimed Yami. "Theres no way we can fight him or we will surely die. Its too early for me to use my ban kai because of all the years I spent in the shrine of penitence but its worth a try."

As they discussed their plans to overthrow the emperor a sharp reiatsu could be felt in their vicinity, followed by a deep laughter. Yami and Shunsui both turned

around to find ryougi standing there, holding Ukitake's dangling body with one arm. "You fools should have given in just like your friend." He threw Ukitake straight into the air and fired a kidou blast that pierced

through his unconscious body. "You'll pay for that!" screamed Shunsui. "Quick yamamoto now is the only time we can pull it off." Shunsui sheathed his soul slayer and chanted, Way of Binding level 99! Ryougi

was completely taken by surprise and imprisoned in the binding. Yamamoto quickly rushed toward Ryougi ruthlessly and screamed "BAN KAI" Way of Sealing! the edge of Yami's sword went straight through

the emperors body and the kitana began to surge in power.

Ryougi was slowly being ripped apart and absorbed by Yamamotos sword and it began to grow immensely in size, due to the insane amount of spiritual

pressure that was packed into it. All that was left of Ryougi was a soul in the shape of a pheonix that was quickly absorbed by Yamamotos soul slayer that had now grown so immense that he could not hold it by

himself. The large sword was placed at the center of guillotine hill and tied by ropes and countless binding spells so that it would never again be released until the time of an execution. The weapon is now known

as the Sokyoku.

In the distance a man shrouded in darkness hears the news of his fathers death. he begins to speak angrily. "Those fools, they do not know the power they are dealing with. I'll play along with their little

shinigami games and create a facade to decept them all. When the time comes they will pay and I will use the Sokyoku to bring back the spirit of my father and create the ultimate warrior. I swear this

on my honor father, I, Aizen Souske will not fail you.
