The Princess let him relax for awhile before getting him on his feet.
"You will fight me without releasing Shikai we need to quickly improve your skills."
So they fought.
Orihime cried out and rushed to Ginrei his head was bleeding.
"SHUNO! AYAME!" she cried and they appeared to her and helped her begin healing.
"Ginrei was right he does have an inborn talent for Jinzen." Byakuya commented off handedly. He gave a stern nod. "Good. This can only help him improve."
Renji was too busy meditating to hear as was Rukia. Byakuya closed his eyes again and returned to Jinzen.
"Is he going to be okay?" Uryu asked walking over.
"He'll be fine but I didn't think Lord Byakuya was serious when he said they would sustain injuries!" Orihime cried. "I'm going to get quite a work out if that's the case.
What felt like hours later Ginrei watched his arm heal. He'd been fighting none stop and this was amazing.
"I can tell you about this power of yours." The Princess said. "Or rather I can tell you that you will need your brother and his friends very soon. You should invite them to join a party with you."
"I don't know how to do that." Ginrei said. "Will you teach me? I've put up the best fight I can."
"I would teach you this for free." The Princess laughed. "Say form Party."
"Form Party."
Would you like to form a Party?
He chose yes.
Name party
"Defenders."
"Now all you have to do is repeat after me..."
Rukia, Renji, and Ichigo were startled out of their meditation by screens appearing in front of them asking them to join Defenders. Chad, Uryu and Orihime were staring at screens as well.
"Press yes." They looked to Ginrei. "Princess says trouble is coming and we need to team up. This is a power of mine. She has taught me about it. It is safe."
They did as told and Ginrei taught them what he'd just learned, Inventory, Skills, Equip, Status
"These can not be my skills and stats.!" Rukia raged.
"This is impossible!" Renji roared.
"I need more training." Ichigo and Uryu complained.
"My skills aren't as high as I thought." Orihime frowned.
Chad was silent.
"I'm too pleased either but I'm not surprised." Ginrei informed. "But look at this way." They all looked at him. "Princess said you would all start back at level 1 with me within seconds of joining the team. This is just to let you know what you need to work on. You can become better and stronger and we all need to fast is what she says."
An outcry of rage from Rukia and Renji told them that they'd restrated.
"Now I have to learn everything from the start." Renji sighed. "Lets get some skills back."
Rukia agreed and they began sparing against each other. Ichigo jumped in causing a three way fight.
Uryu was back to attacking his dummy as was Chad.
"Tsubaki." Orihime said and one of her flowers appeared her attack flower. "Shuno! Ayame! Hinagiku! Baigon! Lily!" Her other five flowers appeared. "We have to train extra hard as our levels have started over this is going to give us a great chance to be super strong. We'll start with Ginrei attacking the shield to level it up. Hinagiku! Baigon! Lily! Santen Kesshun! I REJECT!"
The three flowers formed a shield. Ginrei was amazed but attacked it over and over again head on until it broke. Orihime caught her three flowers and praised them. She laid them on the ground.
"Shuno! Ayame!" she held her hands out to her three flowers. "Soten Kisshun! I REJECT!"
Another shield appeared and she began healing her three flowers.
"That's cool." Ginrei said, watching, "and the last one is your attack?"
"That's right." Tsubaki said, "Lets show him."
"Tsubaki!" Orihime demanded, not looking up from her work. "Koten Zanshun! I REJECT!"
Tsubaki smashed into a dummy but bounced off.
"I was never really good a using Tsubaki." Orihime sighed. "We'll get better this time."
"We'd better!" Tsubaki yelled pulling her hair. "You hear me!"
"All done." Orihime said, "Ichigo, come here I want to train Shiten Koshun. But I don't think Ginrei can dodge it."
Ginrei shrugged it was probably true. Ruika came instead as in she'd been thrown of battle and landed on her head in front of them. She jumped to her feet.
"I'll help." she said. "Ginrei, why don't you go pick on, I mean train again Brine."
Ginrei nodded but hung around.
"I wanna see it."
"Hinagiku! Bigon! Lily! Tsubaki!" Orihime called hands to her head. "Shiten Koshun! I REJECT!"
Rukia attacked the shield and dodged the attack.
"Very good, Orihime." Rukia nodded. "Lets see how long you can hold it."
Ginrei agreed it really was an awesome technique her whole power was cool. He walked over to Brine and easily goaded him into a sparing match.
Byakuya watched and listened to the whole thing amused. He released the Squad as the fighting between Lt. Abarai and Ichigo was scaring them.

Brine will now hate you everytime he sees you.
'A lot of that wasn't even on the rewards list.' Ginrei thought to himself. He kept fighting and goading Brine.
Goading-1
Teasing-1
Taunting-1
Ginrei smirked to himself. Not the best skills in the world but he would use them to his advantage somehow. He kept fighting the best he could and kept improving.
That night Byakuya praised his son and told him that he'd straightened out Ginrei's tutors it appeared that they had been under order from Sojun to not to teach Ginrei anything. Ginrei demanded that his father stop lying and making excuses for him. They were at dinner having this conversation. That he could handle himself and that he was going to be the best Soul Reaper ever on his own merit and that he would show everyone!
With that he left the table and went to his room. He hated that he'd lost control like that but he had. He suddenly felt very tired. He collapsed on the floor and knew nothing more.
When Ginrei woke it was to see an injured Renji carrying him while Rukia pounded on a door. Uryu answered in his pjs.
"The Soul Society was attacked." Rukia reported holding her left arm. "Destroyed. Renji and I were hurt saving Ginrei he's drugged."
"Come in, quickly." Uryu ushered them in and pulled out a cell phone. "Ichigo, Renji, Rukia, and Ginrei are at my place the Soul Society has fallen their injured get over here." He then called Chad and Orihime. "When the others come let them in I need to wake my father and get dressed. Don't pass out."
Ryuken cursed as he entered his living room to six teens Uryu was behind him.
"I have Rukia and Renji." Orihime reported. "Please look at Ginrei he can't move but I see no injuries."
"Lord Sojun drugged him so that he could kill him in his sleep." Rukia said, as Renji got his head wound healed. "I was on guard duty tonight. We take turns. When the attack started Brother sent Renji to us. We were barely able to get Ginrei and get out of the Soul Society we don't know if it's fallen or not."
Ryuken knelt at Ginrei's side.
"It's okay, relax, my son." Ryuken assured him smoothing Ginrei's hair back. "It's okay."
Ginrei closed his eyes and leaned into the touch he knew nothing more until he woke to sunlight shining in his eyes he moaned and sat up rubbing his head someones Denreishinki was ringing. He noticed he wasn't far from Renji so he crawled over. He stared down at the sleeping man and blushed then shook him awake. Renji blinked at him.
"Someone's Denreishinki is ringing."
Renji reached in his Shihakusho and pulled his out.
"it's not mine. Rukia!" he threw a pillow at her she sat up glaring. "Are you ringing?"
She pulled hers out.
"It's not me." She said, shaking her head. "Ichigo?"
"Not mine." Ichigo moaned. "Chad? Orihime?"
Both shook their heads.
"It's coming from Ginrei's backpack." Uryu said. "It's been doing that for an hour now."
"But I don't have Denreishinki." He dug in his backpack. "Father said I would get the new prototype when it came out." He surfaced with a cellphone. "What is this?"
"It's a smart phone." Uryu replied. "Press the green button to answer."
Ginrei nodded than put it to his ear.
"Father?" Ginrei said, his voice shaking a bit. "Yes, I'm at Uryu's. Renji and Rukia. Yes, they are here too. Is everything...yes, I understand Kisuke Urahara...Ichigo will know where to find him...father...yes...yes...okay."
He looked upset when he hung up.
"I have to report to Kisuke Urahara that the Soul Society has been attacked. " He looked at Renji and Rukia. "we are to stay here in this world until further notice."
"Rukia can stay with me." Orihime decided.
"Renji can stay at my place." Chad offered. "It's no trouble."
"and you'll stay here." Uryu said to Ginrei. "Ichigo's sisters would have too many questions if Renji or Rukia stayed at his place." Uryu was answering Ginrei's unasked question. "Here I found this ribbon tied to your bag. He tied his brother's hair back. Unknowingly in the same style Byakuya had worn when he was younger. He then had Renji put the Kenseikan in Ginrei's hair. "There, now you can be with them here." Uryu said, "as for clothes you can wear some of my older ones that don't fit me anymore. I have some clothes that are black that I never actually wore. We'll have to get you new."
Ginrei was overwhelmed but followed his brother to get dressed in simple black jeans, and a black short sleeve shirt, he wasn't sure if he liked these things called sneakers or not.
They all walked in to Urahara's and the four people stared. Ginrei drew himself to his full height of 5'10" and made his report.
"I see and who might you actually be, young Lord?" Kisuke asked.
"I'm Ginrei Kuchiki Jr. son of Byakuya Kuchiki."
"I apologize for not knowing." Kisuke inclined his head. "You say they want me and my team to report back?"
"That's what I was told." Ginrei replied, "I do not think they expect you to do any fighting but of that I can not actually be sure."
"Very well, we'll head back then." Kisuke nodded.
"Do you have any of these?" Orihime asked showing them Ginrei's cell phone. "It's like Rukia's only looks like a cell phone you would find here in the Land of Living. It can even work here."
"It can?" Ginrei asked.
"I programed in mine, Chad, Ichigo, and Uryu's numbers and ..." she pressed Ichigo's number and his cell began ringing. He pulled it out. "See? I would really like one."
"Yeah. Me too." Ichigo said.
"Better to keep in contact with Ginrei when he goes back to the Soul Society." Uryu said, fixing his glasses. "I will take one as well."
"Mine broke in the battle." Renji and Rukia chorused. "So we'll need new ones as well."
Chad just nodded.
Kisuke was smiling.
"I don't have a shipment yet but I'll be sure to bring one back with me."
"Problem?" Uryu asked as they walked back.
"I'm not sure I like these sneakers." Ginrei replied.
Renji snorted.
Reikaku-4
"Alright that settles it, Ichigo you need to learn to control your Spiritual Power. You're making Reikaku level go up just being near you. "
That got everyone laughing and Ichigo sighing.
