Last chapter you read about Shadre's affiliation to the Soul Society and his friends the Vizards. Read on to learn more about this enigma.
Aprox. 114 years ago...
Shadre was training at the Squad 11 training grounds. He was trying to learn Bankai for the past few years, but was having no luck. Then the Captain of Squad 11 showed up and everyone said "Good morning, Captain Kurosaki" Isshin Kurosaki raised a hand and said "At ease men" He walked over to Shadre and said "Still trying to learn Bankai, Shadre?" Shadre who was now meditating didn't respond. Isshin had a vein bulge in his forehead and said "You know, although you don't like me, that doesn't mean you have to ignore me" Shadre still wasn't responding. Isshin said "I know how to get his attention" He drew his Zanpakto and swinged it at Shadre who blocked it with his Zanpakto in a split second. He opened his eyes and said "If you want to fight I will be more than happy" He then flash stepped a safe distance while the weaker members of Squad 11 got behind cover. Last time Shadre and Captain Isshin fought they nearly destroyed the training grounds. Spiritual pressure charged the air as they prepared to fight. They both flash stepped towards each other and collided causing a whirlwind to stir up dust. They clashed Zanpakto as Isshin said "Why are you holding back" and pushed back Shadre with his power. Shadre took his Zanpakto and palced his hand over before saying "Okay, but don't say I didn't warn you. Slice, Masamune" He ran his hand down his Zanpakto as he said the release command and purple feathers flew away from the blade to reveal a razor-like silver blade. Isshin then said "Engetsu" and released his Zanpakto. They charged at each other clashing swords, and then proceeded to fight using flash step. They proceeded to attack each other relentlessly and then Shadre lunged forward and tried to slice Isshin who dodged him using flash step. He appeared in the air, and attacked with a wave of spiritual energy while saying "Getsuga Tensho". Shadre dodged effortlessly as it scarred the landscape. Shadre then said "I guess I can't hold back, Getsuga Tensho" as he attacked with a wave of spiritual energy. But, unlike Isshin's attack it was smaller and moved faster. Isshin barely dodged as it passed straight through the corner of a building. Isshin looked as the corner of the building started to slide off where had been cut. Isshin turned to Shadre and said "Looks like you mastered the Getsuga Tensho. We better stop fighting before we destroy the barracks." Shadre sheathed his zanpakto amd started to meditate again.
Later...
Shadre had dedcided to go drinking with Lisa and Shunsui who invited Aizen. After they drank Sake for about an hour Aizen decided to leave. On the way from the bar he heard somebody yell "Get back here you thieving brat!" Aizen looked to see some men chasing a girl holding an apple with strawberry blonde hair. They finally cornered her and one them said "You have a good sized chest for your age" He reached out to her as she started to whimper. Then a boy with silver hair jumped off the roof of a building and sliced the man's face saying "Stay away from my Ran-ran" The man punched the kid and said "You little bastard, you cut my face" Aizen then walked over and said "That's enough, you are all under arrest by the authority of the Gotei 13" as he drew his sword. Suddenly a man came from behind and hit him over the head with a board knocking him out. The man said "No one can save you now you little brat" Shadre who left a bit after Aizen saw and heard what was going on, and said "Are you sure about that" as he exerted spiritual pressure. The men struggling to move from the intense spiritual pressure looked at him and one said "Shit man, it Shadre Shakamara run for your lives" After he said that Shadre stopped exerting spirtual pressure and allowed the men to run. Afterwards he picked up Aizen and flung him over his shoulder. He then looked at the children and said "Follow me" They decided it would be best to follow him.
Later at Squad 4 Hospital...
Captain Unohana was checking Aizen's wounds while Shadre sat in a waiting room watching the two kids. The girl was looking at the floor while the boy was looking away from Shadre with his arms crossed. Shadre looked at the two and said "You two are lucky I was in the area" The boy scoffed and said "I could've handled it" Shadre looked him and said "You could've have benn killed, and who know what would've happened to your friend" The boy then looked down to the ground in guilt and said "Sorry, my name's Gin" "Do either of you have parents?" asked Shadre. They both nodded side to side. He sighed and said "Follow me" They both nodded.
Later...
Shadre had arrived at the thirteenth squad's barracks with the two kids and saw Ukitake admiring the nature under the shade of a tree. He looked over at me and waved me to come towards him. I sat down and he said while looking at the sky "The clouds are always so entertaining. Look, that one looks like a bunny" I looked at the cloud and said "I guess" Shadre then motioned for the kids to come over. I looked at Ukitake and said "I want you meet Gin and... uhhh" She shyly answered "Rangiku" Ukitake looked at them and said "What wonderful names fo two kind kids" while he ruffled their hair. I then asked "I came to ask you if could find them a home" He looked at them for a moment and said "With their potential, I can easily get them a room at the Home for Spirtitually Gifted Children. When they get old enough, they'll ger accepted into soul academy" Gin looked at Rangiku and said "You hear that, we're gonna have a home Ran-Ran" She looked at Gin and lovingly hugged his neck. Shadre smiled and said "I knew you could fix this Ukitake, thanks" He looked at me and said "You're welcome"
