So the twelve jedi masters and ten soul reaper captains sat down at their first ever meeting.
While the leaders of the two Organizations, Yoda and Yamamoto seemed calm and collective around each other, the rest of their co-workers were a little off.
The jedi masters and Soul Reaper captains sat erect in their chairs, looking down at their strange guest from across the room. Much tension built was sensed in the room, with so many people in one room something was bound to happen.
Yoda and Yamamoto sensed this right away and sought to do something about it.
Yoda turned to Yamamoto and said "Go around the room and introduce ourselves we should."
"Wonderful idea." Said Yamamoto."Lead the way."
"If I may." Said Mace Windu as he spoke up."Perhaps our guest should introduce themselves first?"
This shocked many of the soul reapers. They were hardly aloud to speak at their meetings, only to listen to Yamamoto. And here this lower member of the council had spoken out to his superior.
"I concur." Said Ki-Adi-Mundi. Yoda turned his head over to the rest of the soul reaper captains.
"It would be better for us to introduce yourselves." Said Kit Fitso."They are our guest so we should show them some hospitality." The Captains exchanged looks as the jedi talked amongst themselves."So that we may-"
"Why are you all talking?" asked Soifon suddenly. The Jedi turned to her.
"Excuse me?" Said Seasee Tiin.
"Your all talking?" asked Soifon."Why?"
"We sit in a circle here, we're all equal." Said Obi-Wan. This was a concept unheard of to the soul reapers as they all worked under Yamamoto.
"How interesting." Said Ukitake.
"He runs the whole thing." Said Kit Fisto looking over to Master Yoda."But that doesn't mean we all can't put in our own say when we feel we have to. We work together as a group." This idea still shocked the soul reapers.
"Lead by example we should." Said Yoda as he looked at his jedi and then back to Yamamoto. Yamamoto nodded yielding him the floor.
"Grand Master Yoda am I." he said. Several of the captains snickered at his use of grammar to which Yamamoto shot them death glares."And these." Said Yoda pointing to the jedi around him."Are the jedi masters."
The Jedi Master replied in their own way, most gave a respective nod.
Yoda then turned his head to Mace Windu, yielding the floor to him.
Mace Windu stood up from his seat.
"Greetings." He said."I am Master of the Order, Jedi Master Mace Windu. That title means that I am second in command." Then Mace Windu sat back down.
Attention was then drawn to the jedi with a large head Ki-Adi-Mundi.
"I am Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi." He told as all eyes turned towards him."I am a General in the army and am considered part of the upper tier of this council."
Then Ki-Adi looked over to Obi-Wan.
"Hello." Said the jedi master."You've all already meet me but I am Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi." Then attention was drawn to Kit Fisto who bore his usual sunny smile.
"Hello." He greeted with great cheer. His unusual charisma was interpreted as odd to most of the soul reapers mainly Byakuya, Mayuri, and Toshiro."I am Jedi Master Kit Fisto. I've only been on this council a few years but consider myself a valued member. I have a laidback and easy going personality but won't hesitate when I'm called to action."
"I like this one." Whispered Shunsui to his fellow captains. This made sense Shunsui had a similar way of living to Kit Fisto.
In his chair Seasee Tiin noticed that many of the soul reapers seemed dulled or bored by what was going on, namely as Seasee Tiin noted him 'The Large one with ripped sleeves and spiky hair.' He had his eye on him the most of the time as the captain sulked in his chair with his head resting on his hand and he looked as if he'd fall asleep any moment.
"Master." Said Kit Fisto's voice. Saesee turned to him."Your up." He said.
Then unlike all the others( except for KI-Adhi-Mundi who was already standing) Saesee Tiin choose to stand up when he introduced himself.
"I am Jedi Master Saesee Tiin." He said in a commanding voice."I have a strong sense of order and will tolerate no nonsense. I'm hard-headed it's my greatest strength and my strength has never failed me." Then finished with what he had to say the jedi master seated himself. But his harsh tone had not gone unnoticed, his peers knew something was up and the soul reapers felt off as Master Tiin had presented himself in a very threatening manner.
Moments of silence followed after. Obi-Wan and ki-adi-mundi looked over to Mace Windu. The three shared similar looks then Mace gave them a nod. Then the two turned to the jedi master who had just spoke.
Saesee Tinn sat in his chair arms locked as he looked across the room at the Soul Reaper captains.
Then he began doing something he didn't want to do. Using his jedi powers he began reading into the soul reapers and seeing their thoguhts.
"What are you doing?" asked Obi-Wan's voice. Saesse Tiin's attention was then turned over to Obi-Wan. The Jedi master had entered his mind.
"Listening." Replied Seasee as he went back to what he was doing.
"Don't so that." Said Ki-Adi-Mundi."Their our gusest that would be rude."
"To hell with that." Said Seasee Tiin."Look at them." Obi-Wan and Ki-Adi-Mundi looked over to the soul reapers."Sitting there mocking us, it's disgraceful." Then he read into the mind of Kenpachi. Then with an angered grimace on his face Seasee Tiin slowly drew his hand away from his his lap and then towards his lightsaber.
"Calm yourself." Said Ki-Adi-Mundi's voice. Seasee Tiin then refrained himself but kept on reading the captain's minds. And everything he heard angered him greater.
Meanwhile the jedi masters had moved on with introducing themselves and now came to Plo Koon. But Plo Koon was to occupied to realize that it was his turn.
For he was locking eyes with Mayuri neither looked away from the other for a moment.
"Master." Said Mace Windu getting Plo Koon's attention."You have the floor."
Plo Koon took a deep breath and rose from his seat. Before he began talking he took another look at Mayuri.
"I am Jedi Master Plo Koon." He told in a calm voice."I have a strong sense of justice which is why I'm here and-"
"What's that on your face?" asked Mayuri suddenly. Plo Koon turned to him.
"This is a breathing apparatus." He told, then he turned away.
"Why don't you take it off?" asked Mayuri.
"I'll die if I do." Replied Plo Koon.
"I had that same problem once." Spoke up Sajin."I to covered my face up but then eventually realized I couldn't change who I was."
"Except I don't have a choice in wearing this." Replied Plo Koon.
"I too thought I would die if I removed my mask." Said Sajin.
"Except I'll really die if I take this off." Said Plo Koon a slight tone in his voice.
Then Plo Koon quickly took his seat. Then all became silent as Yoda turned to Yamamoto.
"Now Introduce yourselves you may." He said.
"Very well." Said Yamamoto as he stood up."I am Head- Captain Yamamoto. I'm the leader of the 13 court guard squads and captain of squad one. I am the one who created the 13 court guard squads." Then the old man sat down. Then he pointed over to Soifon, and then she stood up.
"I'm Soifon Captain of squad 2, which is the special ops. We also specialize in interrogation." The Jedi masters looked to each other puzzled. Then Unohanna stood up.
"I am Unohanna." She said in a calm caring voice."And I am Captain of squad four which is the healing corps. I've been with the soul society since its founding a thousand years ago." Then she went to sit down but before she could she was stopped.
"If you don't mind me asking ma'am." Said Mace Windu. Unohanna looked up at him."You said you were captain of squad 4, I noticed you skipped over squad three."
"Presently." Began Unohanna."There is no Captain of squad three, or five and nine as well."
"Complications?" asked Yoda to Yamamoto.
"Which were easily dealt with." Replied the old captian. Then he motioned for the captains to continue introducing themselves.
Unohanna sat down and Byakuya stood up.
"My name is Byakuya Kuchki." He told."And I am the captain of squad six. I inherited this rank from my grandfather."
The next to stand up was Sajin."I am Captain of squad seven Sajin Kommamura." Then he sat back down as Shunusi stood up.
"I'm Captain of squad eight, Shunsui." He told."Like your friend over there Kit Fisto I to have a laid back easy going personality." Then Shunsui looked at Kit Fisto who still had a large grin on his face. Then with a smile Shunsui sat back down.
Then Toshiro stood up.
"My name is Toshiro Hitsugaya." He told."And I am captain of squad ten." The Masters looked at him in confusion but said nothing.
The jedi looked at him and were baffled by his appearance. He looked like a youngling to them but somehow he had risen to the highest position amongst the soul reapers. Toshiro became annoyed by the looks on the jedi's faces. Then angrily he sat back down.
Then Kepachi stood up.
"I'm Captain of Squad eleven Kenpachi." He told."My goal in life is to fight as many strong opponents as I can."
At that moment Saesee Tinn contacted Ki-adi-Mundi and Obi-Wan.
"See what I mean." He said."I sense much hate in him." Then Saesee Tiin looked up to see Kenpachi staring at him. Saesee Tinn quickly locked eyes with him as Kenpachi sat down.
Then as he sat there Kepachi mouthed 'Fight me'.
Saesee Tiin mouthed 'Come at me'.
The Mayuri stood up, then after taking a long look at Plo Koon he spoke.
"I'm Captain of Squad twelve Mayuri." He said." I'm also the second generation of the department of research and development which my squad specializes in." Then Mayuri sat down and once again locked eyes with Plo Koon.
Then lastly Ukitake stood up.
"Hello." He said with a welcoming smile unlike most of his fellow captains."I'm Ukitake captain of squad thirteen."
And then the last captain took his seat. Then the captains and masters who had just introduced themselves began eyeing each other once again.
"Good this has gone so far." Said Yoda. Then he stood up and began walking, Yamamoto followed him."More in the future we will have.
The words hit the masters and captains like a punch in the face. Yoda then turned to his jedi.
"Stay here with our guest you will." He said.
"Yes Master." They all replied. Then Yamamoto and Yoda made their way outside the council room, leaving the rest of the masters and captains to stare each other down.
An awkward silence fell upon them. The only sound that was heard was the strumming of fingers by Plo Koon on his armrest.
Obi-Wan looked around and wondered on how to start a conversation. But the soul reapers were very hesitant.
Kit Fisto looked back and forth from his co-workers to their guests with a happy grin.
"So." He said as his voice filled the room."Unusual weather we're having." Dead silence followed after that.
Ki-Adi-Mundi cleared his throat."How is it that you became that rank?" he asked to Toshiro. To him he looked just like a youngling.
The little captain knew it was only a matter of time before someone asked that.
"Yes." he said with a vein in his head."I was aloud in at a young age because I was ahead of everyone older than me."
Ki-Adi sat back at little knowing he'd offended the little captain."For someone so young it must be an honor to have achieved so much."
"Just cause I'm short and young doesn't mean I'm not experienced." Toshiro replied.
"Notice I didn't say short." Said Ki-Adi.
Then another awkward silence fell on them for a moment.
"I'm taller than you leader." Said Toshiro. Then all the jedi became on edge and moved forward in their seats.
"You say something about Master Yoda?" asked Saesee Tiin as he cracked his knuckles.
"Captains please." Said Shunsui.
"We're not captains we're Masters." Retorted Plo Koon.
"Masters calm yourselves." Said Mace Windu."Do not let your emotions cloud your judgment." This calmed the rest of the masters down, the hostility cooled down in the room.
But Mace could understand, this guest were so strange and so foreign. But on top of that they were extremely rude and didn't seem to respect the masters.
So then another awkward silence fell over them, this one longer than the last.
"I heard the younglings need training." Said Mace Windu.
"I'm out." Said Saesee Tiin as he jumped to his feet and headed to the door.
"The meeting hasn't been adjourn yet." Said Obi-Wan. Saesee Tiin stopped in his place and turned to the masters.
"May the force be with you." He said. Then with that the jedi masters rose from their seats while the soul reapers sat unaccustomed to the way this meeting was ending.
"That means you can leave." Said Obi-Wan to them. Then the soul reapers rose up.
"Thank god." Groaned Mayuri. The captains were just as annoyed as the jedi were.
Just then the doors to the council room opened and there stood Yoda and Yamamoto.
"Accompany our guest you shall." He said."And show them around the city."
"Yes Master." Said the jedi. Then Yoda and Yamamoto turned and left once again.
Then the jedi turned to each other.
"Who will do it?" asked Mace. The Jedi were reluctant to reply, after what felt like an eternity in the council chamber with people who clearly didn't want to be they didn't want to waste their time on them.
But then someone spoke up.
"I'll do it." Said Kit Fisto as he rasied his hand.
"Kit Fisto you're a trooper." Said Saesee Tiin as he turned and exited. The rest of the jedi followed him soon after, leaving Kit Fisto with their guests.
The Captains seemed less than thrilled.
Kit Fisto turned to the soul reapers with a bright smile.
