Can I get that to go? -mutters to self and walks off set moving slightly to avoid arrows-

Don't own Bleach! Enjoy :D

Day 9
"Nemu. I have another brilliant plan. Fetch me some paper and a pencil."

"..." Was her soundless answer as she did so. After she returned and he (Kurotsuchi) was giddily drawing the latest contraption to capture hollows without having to release a bankai (for the captains of course! Energy must be saved!), Nemu broke the comfortable silence.

"May I question what it is you have decided to create this time, Captain?"

Giving her a mad grin he continued doodling before finally finishing and excitedly holding it up for her to see.

"Captain, it looks like a hat with an odd circular veil, is it perhaps a beekeeper hat? Kurosaki has informed me of such things on the odd occasion I question him of the human world."

"No, silly girl! I call this... THE FLYING GUILLOTINE!" He was quite proud of his drawing. It was particularly deadly hat with the blades that would slice a hollow's head off easily.

"Was that not used (stationarily) in the French revolution for chopping off heads, Captain?" Nemu pondered for a moment, still unaware of his goals, but still letting him have his glory of his brilliance.

"Yes! I knew that brain I gave you wasn't for naught! Now let's go give this to someone heading for the human world once I make this!"

"Of course, Captain."

That afternoon it was sent out with the returning Shinigami representative for Karakura (no, not Afro guy): Rukia.

"Hey. Midget. Whatcha got there?"
"The research division wants us to try this out."

Wincing from the kick he was given rather harshly, Ichigo nodded. His badge went off, as did Rukia's cell phone. With a nod to each other they popped a Soul Candy, grabbed the new contraption and made their way to the hollow.

Upon arrival, Ichigo actually followed Rukia's order to distract the hollow while she made her way to the head to toss the experiment on its head as she was told to do so.

Almost immediately it latched on and encircled its head. The two reapers leapt back, worried it would explode. However, instead a loud clanging sound was heard and finally, a thud as the head of the hollow hit the ground with the contraption.

The hollow made to disappear, but immediately sensed a human and possessed it with ease. Within minutes the human's skin had rotted and it's brain capacity had been severely diminished.

A bystander screamed. "ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE!" And crashed to the sidewalk unconscious while the possessed human munched on another's neck, turning the victim to an undead.

Ichigo and Rukia glanced at each other, horrified.

Then they woke up, gasping.

A text made its way to Rukia's phone, which she immediately read.

"I have a new test for you weak humans to try out! Nemu says it looks like a "beekeeper's hat" whatever that is. Next time you visit please visit to try it out! -Kurotsuchi"

"NOOOOOO!"
