New toys against the undead (Not Marvel zombies…. Yet)
His time back at home had been a god send for Ken in his recovery, with the fact Angela, Amelie and Lupa were preganant with his children, Ken took this time to enjoy his family time, waking up with Aranea in his arms for once made him feel at ease.
especially with Angela sticking around to make sure he was pacing himself, All in all, Ken took full advantage of this to spend more time with his lovers.
But like all things, his recovery came to an on time end, with Ken returning like he said he would, To Kisuke's shop as discreetly as he could due to finding several Shinigami patrolling the town in search for him, with him eavesdropping on a few on his way to Kisuke's shop.
Though it allowed Ken to get a hint of what to expect.
Apparently one of the captains had touched the Omnitrix after His Hatred induced change which somehow made her hand catch on fire.
Yeah that was gonna be interesting to fix.
When he finally arrived as the sun was going down, Ken in his Loki persona, startled the werecat Yoruichi upon landing behind her from the building behind the shop.
"Am I late?" turning to Yoruichi who stared at him in surprise, her attention was on the new additions to Ken's armor, well, the blades strapped to his legs, lower back and shoulders. That and he had two large weapons on his Back.
One recognisable as the Lancer… the other was a shotgun.
Known as the Chaperone.
Seeing the woman give him a look, she spoke.
"No, you're early… how did you even get here so quickly, we were expecting you yesterday?" raising his wrist that held the Omnitrix, Ken gave a shrug while Yoruichi pouted.
"Show off" snorting while moving to a dark corner, Ken began sharpening his knives with a whetstone.
"I heard from a reliable source that one of the captains had been afflicted with some unknown energy when they retrieved Kuchiki-san… was that from you?" giving the woman in cat form a look, Ken spoke while stroking the stone across his Kukri's blade.
"I was unconscious so I wouldn't know, if my guess is right, they had an ancestor who was an osmosian, an alien humanoid that could absorbed energy, my adopted brother is one" seeing Yoruichi look down, Ken could sense the worry in her before she sighed and entered the shop, leaving Ken to wait for his supposed temporary team.
When he sharpened the last knife did he notice the moon rising in the sky, and shrugging as he closed his eyes to sleep, he left his Motion tracker on to alert him of movement.
Opening his eyes a moment later at hearing a lone beep from his MT, Ken looked around to see Ichigo's friend, Yasutora (Chad) Sado sitting down calmly, having not seen him in his darkened corner.
Deciding to stay awake for this, Ken rolled his neck while reeling in his aura, a trick Hope and Evelyn had helped him master during his recovery, on Angela and Fury's orders.
Looking up at the sounds of approaching footsteps, Ken looked to the Protaganist himself along with his future wife, Orihime Inoue.
"You…?" watching the small exchange with a reminisce like feeling, Ken looked around for Uryu.
"Where's Uryu, I heard he was coming along with an extra?" turning to ichigo with an unamused look at being called an extra, Ken sat back, waiting for the moment to give them a jump scare.
Looking down a street at seeing white in the darkened streets approaching, Ken smirked as he stood up.
"If whose not coming?" seeing the teens turn to his arrival, Orihime spoke excitedly.
"Uryu!"
"I said, I was going to train because I got blind sided by a Shinigami, if not for Loki my injuries would have been more severe seeing that all attention was on him." Giving a subtle nod to Uryu for the praise, Orihime and Chad frowned in confusion.
"Loki, Whose Loki?" turning to her with a hum, Chad spoke.
"He's a hero from America who was spotted her a few times the past month ago, he was at Kanonji's show" seeing Orihime gasp in realisation, Ken gave her a pitying look.
"Oh that's right, the creepy guy with the horns!"
'CREEPY!?' giving her a look with his helmet's optics glowing fiercely, Ken moved in after Uryu, all four failing to notice him until it was too late.
"Am I really creepy?" getting all four to jump at his sudden arrival, Orihime was clinging to ichigo who staggered slightly upon getting the extra weight, Chad was ready to punch while Uryu had summoned his Quincy bow.
Only to relax at seeing it was Ken.
"Loki!. What's the big idea of Steaking up on us!?" shrugging at Ichigo's annoyed yell, Ken gave a chuckle.
"I resent being called creepy, thank you very much" getting an apologetic bow from Orihime with Ken petting her head soothingly, The voice of Kisuke made them all perk up as the man approached.
"Alright, the gangs all here!" giving the man a look as he approached the shops doors.
"Well then, Inside I'll explain how to get into the Seireitei." Stopping to give a serious look, Ken crossed his arms with impatience.
"Please listen carefully, otherwise…. You wont make it there alive" following Kisuke to the basement/trap door where the large area was, Ken waited for the others to get down first before literally dropping in. leaving a small crater where he made a super hero landing, Ken followed Kisuke to the large open area with a look of interest due to there being scorch marks on the floor.
"WOW, I had no idea this place was underneath Urahara's SHOP!" was Orihime's excited cheer with Ken speaking.
"I have one of my own for testing my weapons, not really hard to do when you have the resources and time to do it" getting looks from everyone present, Kisuke spoke.
"Are you serious?" turning to the shop owner with confusion, Ken nodded slowly.
"I use it to test my larger weapons and vehicles, right now I'm working on a Tank" getting astonished looks, Kisuke cleared his throat.
"Okay then, Look over here kids and sir!" giving the man a look of amusement as he stepped back, Ken watched Kisuke summon the Gateway.
"Alright, This Gate leads to the Seireitei. The Senkaimon. Please listen carefully. I'm about to tell you how to pass through without dying" dialling for Omega as Kisuke explained the details, which Ken knew from his alternate experiences.
Pressing down with the others alerted by the green flash, uryu turned and flinched as Omega stood beside him, his tattered poncho present along with the clothing Ken had created for this Transformation.
"Oh wow!" looking to orihime as she looked over him until he grabbed her by the head, and pointed her to Kisuke who was in the middle of an explanation.
Turning to Yoruichi as she silently approached, she snuggled into his left ankle before he knelt down and scratched her chin.
"Hello, Neko-hime" before anymore could be said, Omega looked up to see the Senkaimon alight with reiatsu, steeling himself as he sensed the energy building up, Kisuke spoke over the roaring winds.
"Are you ready, Run in as soon as it opens!" getting nods from the others, Omega lifted Yoruichi onto his left shoulder as he called forth a pitch black katana.
"HERE WE GO!" rushing forward before the others could do so, they followed a second later.
And seeing the world melt into a grotesque hallway, Omega narrowed his eyes before throwing his arms wide. Making the entire area widen with a thundering wave as the others ran inside. Making them look around before Yoruichi called out to them.
"Don't just stand there, RUN, the World is collapsing!" rushing forward upon seeing them run ahead, Omega looked back to see a far approaching light.
Smirking at the sight, he spun around while following to send a slash towards it.
Sheathing his blade as he focused on the damage output, the cleaner collapsed into a Pile of muck, allowing the others time to run.
Leaving Yoruichi staring at Omega in shock.
'He did that with one strike!'
Following through the glowing doorway, Omega felt himself become weightless before he slowed to a stop. Looking over the area below in with interest before slowly lowering himself to the ground, allowing him to see Ichigo grumble at him as Orihime had created a landing for them.
Looking to the seireitei with interest while the others conversed, Ken sensed many eyes on them all form those inside hiding. Including the gate keeper watching them.
Sensing ichigo moving to run by him, Omega swung his sheathe to slap the teen in the face, making him collapse while holding his face in pain.
"Why'd you hit my face!?" instead of answering, Ken spoke.
"Gate Keeper watching" was all Omega said before a white wall crashed down not even seven feet from them, making them all but Ken and Yoruichi flinched from the sudden arrival of the chalk white wall.
"SO, YOU DO SENSE ME!?" looking up as a large mass landed before them, the form of Jidanbo easily recognisable by Yoruichi.
"Jidanbo!" stepping forward to greet the man, Ken spoke with a wave.
"Hello my good sir, My name is Omega" getting a pleased look from the giant, he gave a small chuckle.
"Well it seems you ryoka have manners" giving a happy chuckle, Ken spoke.
"My mom raised me well, I assure you" getting another pleased chuckle, Jidanbo spoke .
"She raised you well, but I must ask to why you are here, being the Gatekeeper and all" nodding in agreement, Ken spoke.
"We are here on behalf of Kuchiki Rukia due to believing fowl play is at hand to her punishment…" looking to the others with an awkward shuffle, he gave a small addition to his words.
"Plus she may be carrying my future child according to my sources" scratching his neck within the Poncho, Jidanbo blinked before he spoke.
"Wait, I can't sense you… at all!" giving the man a confused look, Omega spoke.
"What do you mean?"
"Every person I have met has at least a small amount of Reiatsu to be sensed, but you… There's not even a trickle of it. Wha-What are you?" giving the giant a look, Ken turned to the others to see them shrugging.
Getting a look in response, Omega turned to Jidanbo who had a hesitant look.
"I don't really know why you can't sense me, but I assure you this isn't my true form" slapping the dial of the Omnitrix, Ken stood firmly with Jidanbo blinking as he finally sensed someone before him.
Enough to make him relax with a relieved sigh.
"Oh you're human" getting a bark of laughter from Ken a shis helmet opened up, his smile could be seen by all, with Orihime blushing.
"Hi. Name's Ken"
