Welcome to the Ninth chapter of the story and I thank everyone who reviewed. Also someone left me a question in the review about element bending and crossover with Avatar.
The answer is simple really and its one word, Zanpakuto. We've seen some characters in Bleach use the elements to help them fight, Yamamoto, Rukia, Toshiro, and Hinamori for example, just in a different way from the characters in Avatar.
I originally wanted for Toph to use a huge sword made of earth as her Shikai but then decided against it since it wouldn't fit her so I played with my games for a bit and came across the Devil Arm Gilgamesh and thought "That's it! That her Shikai!" The unique appearance of Gilgamesh perfectly fitted what I needed for not only showing her awesome bending skills and stances but allowed her to be about to move around like she would in the show.
And about Toshiro blood bending, its been stated that not only his Zanpakuto can control Ice but also water and our blood cells is mostly made up of water so in theory it gives Toshiro the ability to use it.
Also this is a bit of a crossover with Avatar but ONLY Toph and her family will be in it from Avatar but also a few other characters from different shows/games/ etc I have in mind will be in here and trust me my loyal reviewers, I'm going to include some interesting characters in this story like how I included Yukari.

Chapter Nine: Revenge is best served cold
A year after Toph had achieved Shikai, and Captain of the Eleventh kicking her out, Isshin had decided to take her into his division. At first, Toshiro was happy that one of his closest friends was in the same division as he was...
He soon regretted that after Toph had asked him to become her training partner.
"Shit!" Toshiro cursed as he dodged another boulder before jumping over a slab of earth and landing on his feet, quickly moving again. When Toshiro had agreed to help Toph with her Shikai, he never expected that he would be dodging death ever couple seconds and it didn't help that Kisuke and Isshin was at the side, watching and laughing as they ate popcorn. He easily danced through the dull spikes of earth but the moment the spikes stopped appearing, a cage of earth came out from under his feet and trapped him.
Toph smirked and walked over to her trapped friend. "Time?" Toshiro looked at the stopwatch around his neck and said, "15 minutes, its better than last time."
The dark hair girl sighed and released her friend. "Yeah by a couple seconds. I really need to work on those stances, Terra said that the better my stances are, the faster and more control I have over the earth."
Toshiro patted his friend on the back. "Don't worry, just keep training and you'll be able to beat anyone."
"Or crush them and speaking of which..." She trailed off as she sent a boulder at the two people watching, causing them to scream in fear and scatter to avoid the rock. The two laughed and went back into the division, unaware that there being watched
Two figures was watching them as they went, silence as the shadows they were hidden in. "Should we take him now?"
"No, we need to wait when he is alone and we must do it quickly."
"Very well, but we must not fail. Our master is counting on us." They disappeared as silence as the wind.
Late Afternoon
"Come on Shiro-chan! You can't leave me like this!" Isshin pleaded as Toshiro placed down the paperwork. Currently Isshin's lower half was frozen to the chair that behind his desk and Toshiro glared at the trapped man.
He held up a finger. "One, only three people can call me that and your far from one of them." He put up another finger. "Two, you haven't done your paperwork since I've been in this Division so until this is all done," He motioned to the large stack of paperwork, making Isshin let out a sob. "you'll be in that chair until then."
Isshin stared as a division member put more paperwork onto his desk. "I can't finish this in one day!"
"I guess that your staying here for a while then." Toshiro said while shrugging his shoulders and leaving the room. "Don't worry I'll check on you later... if you don't die of frostbite that is." He closed the door as Isshin left out one last yell of help and went to his home.
After a while, he was standing in front of his manor's gates but before he could open them, his Kaa-chan stepped out wearing her Captain haori and a serious look on her face that looked out of place. Once she saw him, however, her expression changed into a smile and patted his head.
"Kaa-chan are you going somewhere?" Toshiro asked as she nodded. "The guards at Nest of Maggots recently discovered that a high ranking prisoner broken out and Yamamoto had called a captain's meeting to discuss it." She then noticed him sheepishly scratching the back of his head. "Toshiro is something wrong?"
He nodded and took an interest in the ground. "Well... let's just say that Isshin isn't going to be at that meeting."
"Does it involve you, paperwork, and him not doing it?"
"... Yes."
Yoruichi sighed and patted her son's hair down again, only for it to spring back up into its usual position. "We need to consider getting you a hair cut but I'll talk to you after the meeting." She waved goodbye to her son and disappeared in a shunpo while Toshiro walked into his manor.
At the Guard's Entrance
In a pool of there own blood, two guards laid dead while a figure above them was holding a bloody dagger while another stood watch at the door. "Strip the bodies then hide them. We need to time this perfectly if we want this to work."
Captain's Meeting
The captains of Gotei 13 stood before there leader along with a recently appointed Captain Shinji Hirako of the 5th Division. Captain-Commander Yamamoto looked at the assembled Shinigami, noticing a gap in the ranks. "Where is Captain Isshin?"
Yoruichi was about to say when a hell butterfly flew into the room and went into the middle of them before speaking. "Hello this is Isshin! I can't come to this meeting because Shiro-chan froze my butt to my chair and I can't seem to break or melt it and won't let me go until I finish my paperwork! That is all." The butterfly flew out leaving several very amused, and one confused, captains.
Since that solved Isshin's not coming to the meeting, Yamamoto decided to continue without him. "Anyways the prisoner Damian has escaped from Nest of Maggots."
This shocked everyone as Damian was a well known and powerful Shinigami before he went rogue and attempted to create an army to raise against Gotei 13. However Yoruichi, Isshin, and Kyoraku was dispatched to capture him and put down his army. The battle wasn't long as he hadn't managed to assemble a large army yet so Damian was defeated by Yoruichi while Kyoraku and Isshin killed or captured his men and he was sentenced to life in prison in Nest of Maggots along being one of the only two prisoners to be given a cell.
But for him to be free was dangerous as he was smart and dirty fighter and used dirty tricks to win against his opponents.
"Do we have how he got free or his current location?" Yoruichi asked as Yamamoto nodded his head. "It appears that there was a spy that helped him escape and as for his location, no. I doubt that he will return back to his ruined base and must be hiding somewhere else."
Suddenly the door opened and a 1st division member came running in. "Captains I'm sorry for interrupting your meeting but we have found something important in Damian's cell!" He ran up to the Captain-Commander, took out something from his sleeves, and gave him before leaving the room, the doors closing behind him. As for Yamamoto, the other captains could tell that whatever was in his hands deeply troubled him if the growing Reiatsu was any sign.
"Captain Shihoin, where is your son?" Said captain was surprised by the question and answered back. "Back home, why?" His response was him throwing her a piece of paper which she caught and looked at before her eyes went wide and she cursed. "Shit!" And with that she disappeared in a Shunpo as the paper fell to the floor while the other captains stared at it wondering why Yoruichi was so troubled by it when they suddenly understood as they saw what was on the paper.
The paper had a picture of Toshiro on it and underneath was one word. Revenge.
With Toshiro
The white hair boy sighed as he mindlessly petted Snowflake's head. His day's training was already done and Soifon was currently on a mission so right now he had nothing to do.
Knock knock
The door opened to reveal a young man with short black hair and grey eyes holding a plate of food. "Toshiro-sama it is time for dinner." He sighed, got up, and took the plate from the servant. "Thank you." The man bowed and left the room while Toshiro sat down on his bed to eat. As he brought the meat to his mouth, Snowflake growled loud to catch his attention.
"What's wrong Snowflake? Are you hungry?" He took some fish from his plate and held it out to Snowflake only for her to bat it away with her paws. "Okay your not hungry but I am." He took another fish from his plate and ate it in one bite.
However the moment he did, he suddenly felt drowsy and tired and that the world around him felt heavy, like the air around him turned to Jell-o. 'Drugs! I have to-' That was all he thought until the powerful drug in the food knocked him out and he fell sideways of his bed. Luckily Snowflake caught him with her body before he hit the ground and gently pushed him back on his bed.
Then she heard the door open and growled as the same man from before stood there, only with a sword in hand. The man took a step forward and the massive tiger growled at him and flashed her large teeth, making him pause. But then he grabbed the hilt of his sword and pulled it out an inch from its sheath, saying.
"Frostbite Amaork."
With Yoruichi
The purple hair mother didn't even bother to wait for the guards to open the gates and simply kicked them open with enough force to make the walls shake. She felt an unfamiliar reiatsu rise in the Manor and Snowflake's loud roar and double her speed, going through more doors and down the hallways.
She stopped as she saw Snowflake outside fighting a wolf made of snow that was her size. Snowflake was clearly stronger than it but the wolf kept healing itself when Snowflake injured him and was using it's superior speed to get hits in on Snowflake. However more large felines, tigers, lions, and panthers along with there handlers joined the fight against the wolf so Yoruichi kept going to her son's room.
Once she got there, she saw a man with Toshiro over his shoulder and a white Zanpakuto in hand and another man with blond hair and blue eyes blocked her path, one hand on his Zanpakuto that was by his side.
The blond man drew his Zanpakuto and said, "Screech Siren." The sword turned into a large black shield with a mouth in the front that quickly unleashed an unholy scream, making her fall to the ground and cover her ears in pain. The two then Shunpo out of the Manor and made a run for the gates but they quickly stopped as they found themselves surrounded not just by the captains of the Gotei 13 but also the lieutenants and guards of Shihoin.
Yamamoto stepped forward, releasing a bit of his reiatsu to draw both men's attention. "Whoever you two are, I advise you to surrender otherwise we'll be forced to cut you down."
The two men shared a look and nodded and the one holding Toshiro flipped him to his front and held his Zanpakuto to his neck. Once he did that, several captains forced themselves to not move since while that they were fast, they weren't fast enough to safely disarm the man before he sliced Toshiro's open.
The black hair man looked around and said in an emotionless voice. "Unless you all wish to see this boy's blood fall, I suggest that you allow us to leave and don't follow us." For a second there was silence, excluding Yoruichi who joined them and left out a gasp, and then the captains blocking there path to the gate moved aside.
The two slowly moved toward it, one holding his sword to Toshiro's throat while the other held up his shield in a defensive manner, and once they made it out, they quickly Shunpo away. No one said anything as Yoruichi fell to the ground in despair, tears falling from her eyes as Unohana moved to comfort the crying mother.
Location Unknown
In the dark, a tall man sat on a chair with empty plates of food before him. 'Finally a decent meal after all those years in that place. Now the only thing that would make this day is my two best men return with there target.'
Suddenly two figures appeared in front of him, placing Toshiro down on the ground making the man smile. "Sound Howler, Snow Wolf. Nice job on your mission so is this the son of that women?" The two nodded and his smile widen. "Perfect, now put him in the cells and the collar on him, we don't want him to wake up and try to kill us would we?"
Yup my first cliffhanger in this story! I hope it wasn't that bad or that it seemed rushed and I promise to do better on the next chapter! Until then later!
