Trascender

Lisa Yadomaru sat in a cell, clothes bloody and turn, as she attempted to place her hand over her head.

"What are you doing...?"

"Trying to... get us... outta here."

She continued to pull to the chains holding her in the air. Over to her right, Menoly laid mumbling to herself while another indigo-haired woman stared at her with her heterochromatic eyes. Lisa was finally able to get her hand to her head and swiped down. Her cross mask, cracked in several different places, finally rested on her face.

"What's that gonna do? These Reiatsu chains prevent us from using anything..."

"You'll see..."

"Captain Hirako...?"

Shinji sat at his desk in his quarters, reading a manga from the human world when his lieutenant walked in.

"What is it, Hinam-?"

Suddenly, Shinji froze up. Feeling a slight tinge in his Reiatsu, he stood up suddenly and began to storm out of his office.

"Wha- Cap-Captain Hirako!?"

"Find Captains Otoribashi and Mugurama and tell them to meet me in the forest in the next five minutes. I gotta be somewhere..."

"Ryuken. That looks painful..." Ryuken cried out as he stitched a new arm onto his bloody stump.

"Shut up, Steiner. Tell the soldiers to get ready... Juhabach'll be here any minute."

"It's too late for that, Ryuken... Ishida..."

Eyes widened, Ryuken felt the heavy Reiatsu overwhelm him and turned around, seeing Juhabach staring at him through his office window. Behind him stood his almighty Stern Ritter.

"So where is it... ?"

"Sorry... my father didn't tell you, and neither will I."

"Yes... and we saw how that turned out... Will this story end the same?"

Two arrows broke through the window, clashing into each other. Ryuken dove out the other end of his office, shattering glass across the rooftops, while Juhabach gave chase. Steiner stared awkwardly as he was left to deal with the Stern Ritter.

"Advance, Soldat."

"Advance, Soldat!"

From behind Steiner, a portal opened, and countless Arrancar-Quincies stormed the office, barely fitting into the tight space, while members of the Jagdarmee stormed the airspace, with Recht Kinnhaken leading the force.

"So... do we fuck him up now, or later...?"

"Licht Regen."

Ryuken hopped around as he dodged Juhabach's many arrows. Suddenly, they surrounded him and he couldn't move.

"And that's a wrap..."

In the middle of the swarm of arrows, a light blue shield surrounded Ryuken.

"I reject..."

"So you've gone through the trouble of getting the powers of the human girl... to defeat me?"

Summoning his Reishi sword, Juhabach slashed at the shield, surprised when it bounced off and exploded over his left side. Grabbing his wounded shoulder, Juhabach retreated as he narrowed his eyes at Ryuken, whose expression never changed.

"To have master Sklaverei without Vollstandig... something unheard of... until I did it, of course... But impressive, nonetheless..."

"Kirchenlied: Sankt Zwinger."

Juhabach watched as he saw the protective enchantment surrounded Ryuken.

"Such a logical move, combining the defense of the enchantment with the abilities of the girl. That type of logic does not work with sheer power, however."

Juhabach step into the light, grabbing hold of the lightning-like Reishi. Aiming to toss it away, he was surprised when his left arm was surrounded by a blue box, and then it faded into nothing.

"What the!?"

"Vollstandig: Andachtiel."

An explosion of light appeared, surrounded Ryuken. When it cleared, Ryuken stood, one angel wing on his right shoulder, with gold armor and a black covering on his right leg. Holding his hand out, a feather from his wing floated into his hand, before he tossed it at Juhabach. Dodging, Juhabach was unsurprised as the explosion took down the building across from him.

"As expected of an Ishida... Heilig Pfeil of the strongest kind. I'm impressed. You seemed to have thought this confrontation out thoroughly."

"Then this should blow your mind."

"What!?"

An explosion tossed Juhabach forward into the wall of a building. Pulling himself out, he noticed Uryu holding his bow up. Juhabach's cruel grin widened beyond all proportions.

"Uryu! What are you doing here!?"

"Looks like I'm saving you, father."

"Saving me!? I'm trying to save you!" Uryu's features morphed into shock. Before he could move, Juhabach appeared in front of him, classic Aizen smirk on his face.

"Leave him!"

"Or what...? I believe he has what I need..."

"Damnit, let him go!"

A blue light crashed into Ryuken, who landed on the top of his hospital roof. Looking up, he tried to reach Uryu, before he and Juhabach were enclosed into a sphere.

"I will not let you harm His Majesty.

Haschwald stepped from his hiding place and stared down Ryuken.

"Get away from me..."

"Why... why do you want me!? What's so special about me!?"

"Soken Ishida's long-lost secret... the reason I sent the Hollows after him."

Paralyzed with fear, confusion, and a number of other emotions, Ishida fell back and crawled away from Juhabach, whose footsteps echoed into his ear.

"You...?"

"I didn't think that Kurotsuchi would aid me by holding back his soldiers, but it worked perfectly. Soken Ishida... was the only man who knew how to defeat me... and was the only holder of the Quincy Korrekturtaste..."

"...The what...?"

"The Korrekturtaste. The Quincy's Key. Surely you knew of Aizen's plan to create the Oken." Gasping, Uryu hopped to his feet, in order to defend his town.

"But to do that, you need to sacrifice a significant group of souls!"

"For the Oken, that is necessary. The key of our race is different."

"Different!?" Uryu's shocked face delighted Juhabach.

"Do you not know? The 'Tale of the World'? Every spiritual race comes from the Spirit King. The Soul Reaper was created by his Reiatsu, designed for protecting his throne. The Quincy was created by molding the Reishi in the air, to service his family's every need..."

"What does this have to do with anything?" Juhabach continued with his story.

"However... the wife of the Spirit King overthrew him... throwing the Soul Reapers who protect his throne, and the Quincies who serve the Queen, into war. She was overthrown by her own son, he had taken the throne after her. However... the King's soul could not rest, and he became a monster. And thus... Hollows were born, as a result of the Spirit King's despair. After he lost to his son, he vanished, never appearing again."

"What!?"

"All beings come from the same King... However... The Queen is the true ruler of this world. She descended to Hueco Mundo and found him, locking him away for all eternity. Aizen's plan entailed killing the current Spirit King, the former prince and his family. However... with the keys of the Soul Reapers, the Hollows, and the Quincies combined... I will resurrect the Spirit Queen to her former glory. The Quincies will rule... and I shall destroy the former Spirit King, taking his place in the world."

"And what's that have to do with me!?"

"When Ryuken gave you those powers back..."

"... the key was sealed inside the boy... the descendant of Kagura Ishida, the Spirit Queen."

Ryuken growled as he continued to attack the blonde Quincy.

"Soken was your real grandfather..."

"Quiet!"

"...in name only. He was the biological father of your wife. You hold no relation. Your name as the last Quincy and an Ishida was only to keep His Majesty away from your son."

"..."

"And your wife left you... because she agreed with the Vandenreich."

Ryuken stood like a statue, gazing into the air. Haschwald looked down upon Ryuken, lifting his medallion up.

"And you have failed her... your wife... your child... and your best friend. Bankai."

An explosion rocked the entire rooftop, shattering Juhabach's barrier. In that barrier, noticeably, was Uryu, with an expression kin to learning that Santa wasn't real, etched on his face. Haschwald stood, clad in a tattered white cloak, with bony armor all over his body. His hair turned messy and white, with red fur on his neck. In his hands, a katana, with his Reishi sword covering over it and his shield, were aimed at Ryuken.

"Ranbu... Engetsu..."

The hospital rambled and thundered with the sounds of war. In the basement, Lisa nearly smashed into the wall with the rumbling of the battle jerking her around.

"You clumsy bitch!"

"Don't blame that on me!"

"What's... going on...?"

Over Lisa's shoulder, Menoly rubbed her sore forehead at the constant roaring.

"It sounds like battle... But I didn't think Shinji and the other Visoreds would be here that fast."

Apacci stared into space before answering.

"The Vandenreich. That Steiner-" At hearing his name, Menoly flinched and Lisa formed a sour look, "- is rebelling against that Quincy Lord bastard."

"A Civil War!? Right above Karakura town!?"

"Getsuga Tensho!"

Dodging out-of-the-way, Ryuken shot tossed more Heilig Pfeil from his bow.

"You-!?"

"Isshin Kurosaki's Bankai... belongs to me."

Ryuken narrowed his eyes.

"It's... stronger."

"I took the power that Kugo Ginjo stole from Ichigo Kurosaki. The similarities between the two Zanpakuto allowed them to meld together."

"You bastard!"

Uryu launched into the air, bow charged with Reishi. The arrow was shot, catching Haschwald in the shoulder.

"Nice work, Uryu Ishida."

Turning, Uryu freaked out when he heard Juhabach behind him.

'Shit!'

An explosion detonated the area where Uryu once stood.

"Hmm...?"

Juhabach stared down the small knife blocking his hand.

"Blow it Away! Tachikaze!"

Ducking underneath the explosion, he didn't expect a whip to catch him off guard.

"What is...!?"

"Play, Kinshara."

The sound a guitar strum filled the air.

"Kinshara: Sonata Eleven... Izayoi Bara.

"What the fu-"

Boom! A shockwave blasted Juhabach away. He stood up, gaining his bearings as he shook his head.

"Bankai! Tekken Tachikaze!

Ducking, he dodged the Bankai attacks before he was nearly blasted by Kensei in the back. Dodging the strike barely, he grabbed Rose's whip, pulling him towards him. Swinging him into a building, Juhabach turned and blocked the punch from Shinji.

"Shinji... Hirako..."

"Cero!"

From Shinji's fist came a red Cero that destroyed pieces of his tattered cloak as he moved away. Flowing away in the air, Juhabach brought his hand up.

"Licht Re-"

"Crush down, Tengumaru!"

A flash of fire and Juhabach was sent hurling towards the ground. Love floated next to Kensei, Shinji, and Rose as they waited.

"You think he's done for?"

"Hell no. As a matter-of-fact, I think he's-"

"Slightly annoyed at this point."

Wide eyes and seconds later, the Visoreds were bursting in blood as they collapsed to the ground.

Lisa, Mashiro, and Hiyori all gasped at the same time. Apacci gave them an annoyed look as they paused and stood there.

"What the hell's wrong with all of you!"

"They... they... lost...?"

Reishi swords and Seele Schneider clashed above the skies as Ryuken and Haschwald fought. Ryuken swung his blade, only to clash into the shield and get shoved away. Holding his blade down, Haschwald followed up.

"Getsuga Tensho!"

"Again? You're worse than Ichigo Kurosaki..."

Dodging the flash of light, Ryuken summoned another feather arrow and sent it flying back at Haschwald, who's newly found speed allowed him to to dodge it.

"You have power, but you can not use this Bankai correctly. I have no idea how Kurosaki lost to a random fodder such as yourself."

"Tch, guess it can't be helped. I did my part."

"Your... shit! Uryu!"

Uryu turned around, noticing Juhabach, who was definitely unamused at this point. Before Uryu could react, Juhabach's hand went through his chest, next to his heart. Pulling out, he held a bloody, silver key, with the Quincy cross as it's basis.

"Haschwald... clean up around here and then return."

"Yes sir."

"Damn you! Juhabach!"

Ryuken dash down towards Juhabach, who slowly turned towards him.

"Your anger clouds your judgement... Ryuken Ishida. I see too many openings."

Flash! And Ryuken was sliced down his left side, heart split in two. Uryu, barely conscious, screamed out to his father.

"FATHER!"

"Dad! When I get older, I'm gonna be a Quincy, just like you and Grandfather!"

"I'd surely hope not."

"WHAT!? WHY!?"

"I'd rather you not have such a way of life son."

"I HATE YOU! YOU NEVER LET ME DO ANYTHING! GRANDFATHER!"

Little Uryu ran off to talk to his grandfather. A dark blue-haired woman wearing glasses walked into the room.

"Ryuken... you can't hide our son from this. When he gets older, he'll understand."

"You can''t do this to him!"

"This is necessary for the greater future. Someday, you will understand as well.

"Ryuken."

"No 'father'? I'm hurt."

Truth be told, it was weird... hearing his own son refusing to call him father. But he hasn't called him that since his mother left... and took Uryu with her.

"I'm here... to let you know that you can continue your work at the hospital. I'm replacing you... as the last Quincy."

Ryuken seemed to not care, but hearing those words broke him down further. That meant... he knew what he was getting into... What he would be facing up against.

'But I doubt... that he would know that. I don't think she would be the person to tell him that. It will be up to me... and I will be the bad parent... again.'

"Why did you give me my powers back?"

"Don't worry about that. Just... don't fail Uryu. Save that woman... and let nothing else happen to her."

Irony at it's finest.

"I've been to see him, Ryuken."

Ryuken turned, seeing his divorced wife dressed in the uniform of the Vandenreich.

"If you're here for the key, I don't have it."

"I know. You gave it Uryu, to see if I would take it from him."

"Are you?"

The woman stared away.

"Soken... he would have... he"

"He would not. He may not have been my true grandfather, but when he took me in, I listened to every word of his, even if I did not favor them. He would not like this, Soryu..."

Soryu turned and faced away, towards Uryu, who collapsed next to the fallen corpse of Ichigo Kurosaki. Ryuken turned and walked away.

"Ryuken?"

"He will not listen to me anyway. I will forever be the bad parent... he'll join you and listen to you without a second thought. I've given up... a long time ago."

He continued to march, trying hard not to cry.

"If you want him, I won't stop you. Just make sure my son is still alive... even if I'm not."

"I need you to help me."

Ryuken turned in his desk, filing his papers away.

"With what? Your mother's in town. Why don't you go to her?"

"I need to get stronger. The Fullbringers defeated me and... Kurosaki..."

"Soryu will probably help with anything you need. Don't waste my time."

"I'm not asking for my mother's help. I'm asking for yours, father."

Ryuken hit the rooftop hard, all feeling in his body departed.

"FATHER!"

'I guess... you can... still call me... father...'

"Haschwald, clean this up before Kurosaki gets here."

"Yes sir."

And Juhabach turned to walk to the shadow before stopping.

"Nevermind that order, Haschwald."

Above them stood Ichigo, his Espada, and Fraccion.

From his spot on the ground, Ryuken noticed the rage in his silent movements.

'I... can never take back what I've to you... or your son, Kurosaki...'

Juhabach reached over his body near the gate, and stole Ryuken's glove.

"You couldn't stop me, Ryuken. Neither can you, Ichigo Kurosaki,

Juhabach dodged the Cero heading his way by walking into the shadow. Ryuken and Ishida looked up to Ichigo, who stood above them, glaring down. Coughing up the last of his blood, Ryuken was barely able to speak.

"The woman... she was... important to Juhabach... I couldn't... let..."

"I understand."

Shocked, Ryuken blinked and stared at Ichigo. Suddenly, Ichigo's finger was pointed at him, a Cero on the tip of his finger. Uryu jumped to block him before Grimmjow grabbed him.

"But to forgive that... would be a sin."

Ryuken's body was blown clean from the rooftop, leaving not a trace for his remains.

"Sorry Uryu... if I took that away from you..."

"Ichigo..."

"Ichigo Kurosaki.

Turning, he and the Espada turned around to the female voice, discovering a dark-haired woman, dressed in a thigh high white dress with a white jacket trimmed with blue. She had a pin-up hairstyle similar to Nanao.

"Who the hell are you...?"

"...Mother...?"
