Sometime later. The commotion of the battle from earlier had died down and was dealt with.
With the work of the jedi masters and silence of all those involved neither Master Yoda or Head-Captain Yamamoto had learned of the incident.
Later that night the Captain of squad eight Shunsui and Jedi Master Kit Fisto. Shunsui and Ukitake had one of the few captains who wasn't rude or arrogant since his time here like some of his co-workers. The two had an obviously liking of each other since their arrival as they share a similar personality.
The two were meaning to go out to a bar for a night on the town, but needless to say Kit Fisto was worked up about the violence from earlier.
The two walked through the streets with Shunsui leading the way and Kit Fisto trailing behind.
"Don't let what happened before get to you." Said Shunsui as he held his hat down."Happens all the time where I'm from."
"Not where I'm from." Replied Kit Fisto.
"Well don't worry." Said Shunsui."A few drinks and you'll forget all about it."
"Sure." Said Kit Fisto."What are we drinking? Water, Jowa Juice?"
Shunsui looked around the bright lights and odd design of the buildings to find what looked like a bar. But most had signs in dialect and languages he didn't understand so he would just have to pick one.
"I'm going for something a little stronger." Said Shunsui with a chuckle. Kit Fisto looked at him with a blank stare.
"Like what?" he asked. Then Shunsui picked one out, he picked it from the sign that read in plain English 'Adult beverages'.
"Just follow me my friend." Said Shunsui as he walked towards the bar.
"Are we going into a bar?" asked Kit Fisto as he took a few steps behind the captain.
"That's where the drinks are." Said Shunsui."Don't worry just follow me." Then Shunusi walked into the bar. Kit Fisto looked hesitant but followed his Captain counterpart after a few moments.
Then Kit Fisto walked in and saw Shunsui sitting at the bar. Then Kit Fisto walked over and sat next to him, and as he did he noticed two drinks were sitting before him.
"Good good, you decided to come." Said Shunsui as he looked over and saw the jedi master take a seat next to him.
"Jedi don't normally drink alcohol." Said Kit Fisto." It's bad for you."
"Well how do you know if you've never tried?" asked Shunsui. Then he picked up one of the drinks and held it before Kit Fisto. Kit Fisto took the beverage and then brought it up to his nose and inhaled its fumes. He enjoyed the smell and then looked over to Shunsui.
The captain raised up his glass and banged it next to Kit Fisto's.
"Cheers." He said. Then the two leaned their heads back and chugged down the drink then leaned forward and slammed it on the counter.
Shunsui looked over to Kit Fisto who had a smile on his face.
"See not so bad." He said patting his jedi friend on the back. Kit Fisto looked up at him with a wide smile."Another." called Shunsui to the bartender.
Meanwhile back at the jedi temple.
The jedi masters all sat in one room as they all discussed what had occurred earlier that day.
"What were you thinking?" said Mace Windu to Saesee Tiin, who was being healed.
"Master Windu you should have seen him." Said Saesee Tiin."He had the craziest look in his eyes and he was coming at me."
"Eye." Corrected Obi-Wan."He has one eye."
"No that things just for show." Said Plo Koon. Everyone turned to him."Trust me I've read his mind."
"Enough of this." Said Mace jumping in."From here on out we will act accordingly and not cause them anymore problems, Understand?"
"Yes Master Windu." They replied."One of us should go and clear things up with them." Saesee Tiin moved to get up."Not you!" said Mace.
"I will go." Said Ki-Adi-Mundi.
"Very well then." Said Mace."May the force be with you." Then Ki-adi-Mundi turned and left to meet with the captains.
Meanwhile on the other side of the temple the Soul Reapers were talking amongst themselves about the events that unfolded earlier.
Unohanna stood next to Kenpachi healing the burn he gained in the fight.
"This wound is strange to me." Said Unohanna as she tended to the wound. Kenpachi groaned as the wound healed before their eyes.
"What do you think that sword was made of?" asked Mayuri as he looked out the window and rubbed his chin. Everyone turned to him."It truly was a strange sword, but very fascinating."
"Shut up." Said Soifon."We've other things to worry about. Like what will the head-captain think if he hears about this. He'll be furious."
"He won't find out if he keep quiet." Said Sajin."And those masters will do the same. They don't want to get in trouble either."
"Where's Shunsui?" asked Toshiro.
"He went off with the jedi Kit Fisto." Told Ukitake."I was invited but was feeling to ill."
"What about Byakuya?" asked Toshiro. The Captains then all looked around the room.
"I hadn't notice he'd gone missing." Said Mayuri.
"We was here just a moment ago." Said Unohanna.
Just then there was a knocking at the door. The Captains all rose up, then Ukitake walked over to the door and opened it.
There stood jedi master Ki-adi-mundi.
"Good evening Master Mundi." Greeted Ukitake.
"Good evening." Said Ki-Adi."May I come in?"
"Yes please do." Said Ukitake as he stepped aside and allowed the jedi in.
Ki-adi-mundi walked into the middle of the room surrounded by the captains. Then he stood there awkwardly as the captains grilled him down and waited for him to say something.
Ki-adi scratched his head before saying anything.
"Um well." Began Ki-adi."On behave of the jedi masters and our order to yours um." He stopped for a moment as they continued to stare at him."Hoping we can move past all this and let bygones be bygones"
"Why on earth would we-" said Kenpachi as he got up but then Sajin punched him on the head forcing him back to the ground.
"We would like that very much." Said Sajin.
"Good, glad to hear that." Said Ki-Adi. Then he stood there in awkwardness for a few more moments."I shall take my leave then."
Then the jedi master turned and walked out of the room.
He walked out and stood outside the door.
"I think that went well." he said with an uncertain look on his face as he moved his tongue around his mouth and puckered his lips.
Just then Ki-adi felt something odd in the force. Then he turned his head and saw the captain of squad six standing on too far away from him, eyeing him down.
"Can I help you captain?" asked Ki-adi. Then Byakuya stepped out from the shadows and stood before the captain.
Byakuya then stood and looked up at Ki-adi who stood a whole head over the captain. Several moments of silence followed.
"Can I help you?" asked Ki-adi as Byakuya continued to grill him down.
"You beat my bankai." Said Byakuya.
"Excuse me?" said Ki-adi.
"You beat my bankai." Repeated Byakuya.
"I don't know who or what that is." Said Ki-adi.
"The Bankai is the second form of my zanpakotu." Told Byakuya."It's the ultimate power of a captain."
"How fascinating." Replied Ki-adi.
"I am one of the strongest captains." Said Byakuya."And yet somehow my power was beaten down by your 'force'."
"The force is what gives me my power." Told Ki-said."Perhaps my resolve and faith in the force is what overpowered your bankai."
"You sense a weakness in me?" asked Byakuya.
"I sense arrogance in you." Said Ki-adi."You hold yourself to a higher standard than that of your fellow captains."
"I come from a noble family." Told Byakuya."It is my birthright."
"Your arrogance and your selfishness is your undoing." Said Ki-adi."You should learn to let it go."
"I am not as selfish you think." Replied Byakuya.
"Perhaps you should expose that side more often." Replied Ki-adi.
"Do you think your power of the force can beat my strength?" asked Byakuya as he flicked his sword with his thumb.
"Violence is not the answer." Said Ki-adi."I am a keeper of the peace." Byakuya backed down and the tension seemed to die down."Good night." Said KI-adi as he nodded his head."Pleasant dreams to you and your friends."
Then the jedi master turned and walked away.
"Your master." Said Byakuya."What happened to him?" Ki-adi stopped and then turned to the captain.
"We will heal him and he will be fine. Then we shall move on from this predicament as I'm sure you all shall too." Then Ki-adi turned.
"Will you punish him?" asked Byakuya.
"Sorry?" asked Ki-adi as he turned back to face the captain.
"The Master who was in the fight, will he be punished by your higher ups? In the soul society we punish those who break the rules."
"No." replied Ki-adi."No, not here." Then Byakuya gave him a slight nod.
Then Ki-adi turned away."What is wrong with these people?" he said to himself.
Then Byakuya turned and entered the room where his fellow captains waited.
"Where have you been?" asked Soifon as he walked in the room.
"I had a talk with that master." Told Byakuya.
"Which one?" asked Sajin.
"The one with the large cranium." Told Byakuya. Mayuri stepped forward.
"Did you ask him about their sword?" he asked.
"What about them?" asked Byakuya as he turned to the captain of squad twelve.
"Did you ask how their swords worked?" asked Mayuri.
"No it didn't come up." Said Byakuya.
Mayuri's eyes wandered the room then he stepped back."I'm going to go do, me stuff." He said. Then he disappeared into the darkness.
Meanwhile with the masters. Ki-adi-mundi walked back into the rooms with his fellow masters still there.
"How'd it all go?" asked Obi-Wan.
"I think it's been resolved." Said Ki-adi a tone of doubt in his voice."But I believe we can all move past this point."
"Very well then." Said Plo Koon as he rose up from his seat."I'm going to bed, goodnight."
"Goodnight Master Plo Koon." Said the Masters. Then Plo Koon walked off back to his room and to bed.
A short time later the masters and captains all retired for the night, all but two who enjoyed a night on the town, and one other.
