Surprise Betrayal
Sitting within the heavily modified Interrogation room within the Basement, Ken along with Toshiro sat before Jaga who was playing a game on ken's phone.
And seeing a hardened warrior acting like a child playing a game, Toshiro turned to Ken as he hid an amused smile.
"You gave her your phone?" turning to the captain with a barely restrained smile, Ken burst into giggles as Haylee entered the room with Hope, making Jaga turn and freeze up.
"Uh, Hi Tia" seeing Haylee give her the most deadpan of deadpans, she spoke.
"What did they do to you?" sharing a look with Hitsugaya, Ken spoke with his hands raised.
"We didn't do anything" getting an amused look from Haylee as she moved to jaga, she instead moved her shirt aside, the sight of a bruise made Ken's eyes hardened in recognition.
And seeing Jaga look away from them, Toshiro spoke with a frown before Rangiku entered the room with the occupants turning to her somber look.
"Captain Hitsugaya… The communication centre is ready" getting a nod from Toshiro, he spared Jaga a glance before leaving the room, while Ken had a calm expression, the only thing betraying his face of calm, was the tightening of his hands.
"Who?" getting looks from Haylee and Jaga, Ken subconsciously summoned a gauntlet over his right hand before four blades sprung out.
"Who am I breaking?" sensing the approaching reiatsu of ichigo in order to focus on the woman before him, she spoke softly.
"Nnoitra Gilga, he was ordered to soften me up for you in case you held a grudge" nodding with a deadly look, Ken stood up while taking his phone from Jaga.
You can stay, on one condition" seeing her stare in surprise as he moved to the door, Haylee perking up with a smile at him.
"No picking fights with those weaker than you, despite what I do, who I end up fighting I have to hold back to not kill, Nnoitra on the other hand, is free game" closing the door behind him as Haylee began speaking to Jaga, Ken perked up at the tres bestias standing outside the door, with Fransceska sporting a blush at him nearly bumping into her.
"Sorry" nodding to Cyan as he began moving to the ground floor, Toshiro spoke from a doorway.
"Tennyson…" turning to the captain as he approached, his Gigai absent.
"You have to hear this" getting a nod, the two returned to the room to see Ichigo present.
"Hey kid" getting no response from Ichigo, Yamamoto spoke from the screen with Ken frowning in suspicion.
"Glad to see you present, Tennyson" giving a nod to the Head captain, Ken spoke upon noticing the glum looks the others were giving… turning to the wall, Byakuya and Kenpachi made Ken look between the two.
"What I miss?"
Throwing a chair into the screen after the Shinigami left, ichigo stood silently while Ken paced angrily, the Omnitrix sparking wildly before he gave a wall a solid punch, making Ken swear while cradling his hand, Ken turned to Ichigo who moved to leave until Ken spoke.
"Go to Urahara, make sure we're not stopped before we can even start this rescue mission" shaking his hand as it bled, Ken left a stunned Ichigo who gained a determined look, the two failing to notice the Arrancar standing at attention outside the room in silence.
"Haylee!" looking away from jaga as Ken entered the room, his eyes were glowing faintly with Haylee standing at attention.
"How soon can you open a portal to Hueco Mundo?" seeing her stare with her now dubbed Tia Harribel Persona, she spoke calmly.
"Anytime, Ken" nodding to her as he left, Ken brought his phone to his ear to dial a number.
"Sir" getting a man's voice to answer, Ken spoke.
"Carter, I'm gonna need NOBLE team for a rescue mission, be sure you're protected with Charmcaster's magic when you get here I'm sending coordinates"
"Affirmative, Noble one out" nodding as he hung up, Ken stepped into his workshop with a serious look, nodding his head, Ken spoke to Cortana as she popped up on a holographic terminal.
"Give me the schematics for my heavy duty weapon, please" stepping up with a screen coming on, Ken pressed a button before the Workbench extended to show small robotic hands getting to work fabricating Ken's current weapon as it was being constructed.
The Gravity Hammer.
Halfway through assembling the Hammer, Apacci stepping into the room with her arrancar uniform.
"Hey, Ken-san, the shop guy wants you at his shop" looking up from his work, Ken frowned while lifting up his goggles.
"I'll be there, just let me finish this" getting a nod from the woman, Ken carefully connected two wires to a large block like piece, a large blade connected, it was when the block came to life with a hum as it began to slowly hover with a sway.
Making Ken smirk as he went to work.
Standing outside of the Shop in his full gear, his newest addition to his Arsenal magnetised to his Back, Ken was Sharpening his Kukri while keeping an eye on the night sky, his HUD picked up approaching thrusters before it became muted, rolling his shoulders as one of his Vehicles flew into sight, it carefully manoeuvred between the buildings as the back opened, showing six figures stepping out in armor, one being larger than the others, a Figure in blue armor approached Ken before giving a Salute.
One that Ken returned before the Air vehicle took off, leaving Noble Team with Ken.
"What are our orders, sir?" looking amongst the team, Ken spoke while moving to the shop, much to the confusion of Noble team.
"What do you know of Shinigami, Noble?" following the man to the back of the shop, they watched him open the basement door while Carter spoke.
"Shinigami are in some cultures guides to the underworld or afterlife, what does this have to do with the mission?" dropping down the ladder, Noble team stared in growing alarm as they found a desert like area.
And seeing Chad and Uryu standing there alongside a man in a striped hat the sight of Hope hovering in place, they failed to see Ichigo however.
Until a pulse from Ken made NOBLE stagger in alarm as Ichigo faded into sight, making them turn to Ken as Hope sat hovering with a web of magic spinning in her hands before she stood up fully.
"Reiatsu has been shared among the team, they can now see Spirits and Shinigami for about twenty four hours, be sure to not waste it" turning away from the mage, NOBLE team looked up to the portal.
"Well, I'll be damned" Noble five said a she hefted his Chain gun onto his left shoulder, Ken stepped forward with ichigo giving the team a look.
"Wait for US!?" turning around at the voices, Hope smiled as Haylee and her "Sisters" arrived from the opening.
Showing them in a different uniform.
Staring at the four woman, Ken turned to Hope who had an amused look.
"You let them play video games, didn't you?" seeing her smile, she spoke with a shrug.
"I think the Juri Han look suits Apacci, don't you agree?" turning to the heterochromic woman, Ken turned away to look less awkward.
"I could stare all day if I could" sparing another look at Apacci as she fixed her shirt, Ken noted it was Juri Han's purple dudou on her chest supported with eight straps that met on her back. Wearing long, baggy, off-white colored sweat pants and purple tights, and long, fingerless gloves. The only difference being she had a Deer like pattern on her back.
Fransceska was a surprise to Ken as she wore a outfit similar to Gladiolus Amicitia from Final Fantasy XV.
Black leather trousers with a small side chain, and an open black shirt with nothing but a pendant underneath.
Cyan… Ken took a look at Hope before looking to Cyan's near mirror outfit, only it was completely white and the sleeves were extended.
While Haylee.
Staring at her outfit, Ken had a knowing smile that she returned.
"What, you know I made a good Lilith Cosplay" giving a smirk, Ken looked over the attire to note it was from the Borderlands game.
"That you did, Babe" smiling at each other fully, Ken turned to Kisuke with a nod.
"Let's get going, NOBLE, be sure to do what you do best, cause damage, take as many alive if they are redeemable, but most of all, keep each other safe and get out alive" getting nods from the team, Haylee approached the portal with a nod to Kisuke, who gave one back.
"Keep close and stick to the path, otherwise you'll lose yourself to the void" getting determined looks form the group and understanding from NOBLE team, Ken held his Hammer firmly, looking to his left hip where his Assuachi sat, Ken turned to Ichigo who looked ready to run until ken spoke.
"Hey Kid" turning to Ken a she held the Assuachi from his hip, he tossed it to Ichigo who caught it in surprise.
"Keep it, no use to me" with that he followed Haylee through the Garganta.
