"Captain Aizen is down!"
"Shit! Get a med evac on Lieutenant Hinamori!"
Retsu Unohana watched as the Fifth Squad Lieutenant was carried in a stretcher, her body littered with scratches and burns.
"Captain Unohana! There's someone here to-"
"...What a mess this is, eh, Retsu?"
Unohana closed her eyes calmly as the man leaned over, his hair nearly bumping against hers.
"..."
"...You failed to save three captains...The Kuchiki, the dog, and the old man... Let's not forget Mrs. Shihoin and Izuru. You're really droppin' the ball."
"..."
"What the hell's wrong wit you, Mrs. Kenpachi...? You used to be... useful..."
"..."
"Maybe you need to stop doin' this... healing thing. I know you wanted to get away from such a bloody history..."
"..."
"...Captain Unohana...?"
Unohana said nothing as she stood watching the battles.
"..."
Isane was shocked when Unohana reached her hand out to Isane. Her first reaction was to reach for her Zanpakuto, but her Captain always strapped it to her back ever since the first invasion. She was shocked when the haori for the Fourth Division Captain was dropped into her hands. Unohana reached for her braid, undoing it and letting her long, flowing locks waver down her back.
"C-C-C-Captain!? What is the-!?"
"I leave this to you. Whether I return alive or not... I shall not wear the symbol for the Medical Division."
Dressed in only her black Shihakusho, Retsu Unohana left behind her confused squad, entering the battlefield. From that point on, her blade would cry for blood.
"...but remember, Retsu... history itself... was written upon sacrifice."
"Damn!"
Renji turned, swinging Hihio Zabimaru towards a group of Quincy. He was shot in the back by a stray Spirit Bullet, throwing his rhythm off.
"Shit... I'm done fo-"
Before the last bullet could hit him, he saw nothing but white.
Wait.
"Aggggghhhhhhhhaaaaaa..."
He looked upward to see the green hair and helmet of a woman. Her mouth was open wide, all of the bullets flowing into her mouth.
"*Gulp*"
"Shit. That bitch just ate our rounds..."
"GGGGGGRRRRRAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!"
A large, purple Cero, twice the size Renji has ever seen before, was released from Nel's throat, rendering the Quincy into nothing.
"Hi, Pineapple!"
Renji's eye twitched as he stared at the woman waving at him.
"...What the hell...?"
"Ichigo."
Ichigo slowly stood up, panting as he stared at the man who rescued him.
"...Ch-Chad?"
The burly Mexican stood, dressed in a sleeveless blue shirt with dark blue pants.
"...You are different. You seem stronger."
"...Chad! You're my... son's friend, right?"
The two teenagers turned towards the sound of Isshin flashing behind them. Isshin walked up to Ichigo, putting his hand on the stump that was formerly Ichigo's arm.
"Did you obtain the strength of him...? The Old One...?"
"..."
Both Chad and Isshin turned towards Ichigo expectantly, waiting for him to answer.
"...There was no power... Only answers... I know what I'm going to do... Where is the Espada...?"
Isshin stopped, looking down. Chad glanced between the both of them, confusion written on his face.
"...Does this have anything to do with the Quincy?"
"... Yes... Juhabach... the leader of the Quincy... He has invaded the Soul Palace... Kisuke has already sent me the message... the Spirit King is dead."
Chad's eyes widened, "Who... is this man really that powerful...?"
"..."
Isshin gazed towards Ichigo, who had yet to show any reaction to the news. Ichigo rasied his head, staring at the dark sky above him.
"...I presume the Espada thought I was heading there...?"
"...You're not going?"
"I am... It's funny that they understand me so well..."
Chad stared at Ichigo, specifically his stump.
"...You're not going anywhere with only half of your power..."
"What...?"
Chad raised his hand into a fist, activating his Fullbring. He raised his Brazo Izquierda del Diablo and grabbed on to Ichigo, creating a bright light that blinded the group.
"Gaggghh! Chad, what the hell are you doin'!?"
"..."
The flash cleared away, revealing a white arm with a red stripe in the place where his former arm was.
"...Chad...?"
"...I don't need the ability to kill... You... If you really are trascending above the rest of us... then you need that arm more than me... As long as I have my arm to defend, I will be fine."
Isshin watched as the two teenagers conversed.
"...If you're going to defeat this man... You're going to need everything you can get."
"...You're ready... Ichigo? We're going to the palace..."
"...Alright... Let's go..."
"What now?"
"We wait. There's no point in moving... when many Soul Reapers will be heading to my position."
"...Like who?"
"...Urahara Kisuke... the Zero Squad... and..."
Juhabach's eyes widened when an blue light whizzed by his face. He turned, narrowing his eyes at the the Quincy behind him.
"...Uryu Ishida... the son of the traitors... and the last one of the Special War Potentials...
"..."
"No words, hm? Then accept your penance without question."
Uryu reached up, pushing his glasses further upon his nose. The action revealed his new black gloves, but with the symbol of Ginrei Kojaku etched on the back.
"I see... that you, too, have mastered the Vollstandig... Revenge for your your father? Or your Grandfather, Soken? Either way, it was foolish to make your appearance."
Juhabach raised his finger, but was shocked when an explosion rattled the area, causing him to turn around, stumbling as he did so. He was surprised when Retsu Unohana raised her blade towards, cutting down his shoulder as she did so.
"You!?"
"It's been over a thousand years, hasn't it, Juhabach... Since you did battle with the first 'Kenpachi'?"
"..."
"Am I not one of your potentials... because I left my position to my Lieutenant? Did you think I weakened myself because of that...?"
"...Yamamoto was the most powerful man, along with Sosuke Aizen... and Kisuke Urahara is really dangerous... but you are not one of my potentials..."
"..."
"Because you... have been my biggest fear since the day I razed the Soul Society to the ground..."
"...Have I...?"
Juhabach sneered at Unohana as their blades collided.
"Of course... the only woman... the only person... to give Yamamoto his scar and his title and come out unscathed...? What is so special about you, I wonder, for Yamamoto to keep you away from the battlefield despite your prowess...?"
"..."
"But I know, Yachiru... I know... About your powers... about everything... I remember..."
"..."
"...there being Ninety districts in the Rukon districts..."
"..."
"What happened to the last ten?"
"Bankai! Tekken Tachikaze!"
"Reap! Kazeshini!"
The Lieutenant and Captain of the Ninth Division both released their Zanpakuto, attacking the member of the Letzt Himmelreich. The older woman stood, reaching into her coat for a blade.
"Both of you, attack me at the same time... Lest you both end up dead."
"Here we go! Shuhei, Attack the right side! I'll cover you!"
"Got it!"
Shuhei moved to the right side, his twin Zanpakuto ready for action. He threw one scythe, watching as it headed towards the woman's face. At the same time, the woman eyed the sneaking chain coming at her from the left side.
"Nice trick, but I won't let it hit me."
She ducked, dodging the left scythe and blocking the right with her sword. She moved away to dodge the Visored's Bakudantsuki.
"Damn..."
"I see you, too, burly fellow. You're sneak attack won't hit me."
She turned, grabbing the Zanpakuto of Kenpachi Zaraki. She recoiled back at his wide, maniacal grin.
"Who says I was tryin' to hide!? I want you for myself! You're the closest person to me before I get to Juhabach!"
"Tch... Nobody told you to interrupt, Kenpachi."
Zaraki looked over his shoulder at the deadpanning Kensei.
"Shut up! I'm takin' over now! Go away!"
"No need... I'll take all three of-"
"Naw, Mom! I wanna fight, too!"
At the sound of the voice, a young Stern Ritter male with black hair appeared behind Zaraki.
"...What are you doing here, Luce?"
"...I just want a piece of the action. I'm tired of sitting at the castle."
Kensei and Shuhei stared at the young man, but was unimpressed by his appearance.
"...And who are you supposed to be...?"
The young man turned to stare at the Soul Reapers behind him. The boy's face was covered in cleanly-kept stubble, leaving the impression that he was royalty.
"...My name... is Luce Bach... Nothin' special..."
"I can't believe that THE Kisuke Urahara is fightin' me! I'm so lucky!"
A young, blonde girl, dressed in a robe too large for her body, clapped her hands eagerly as Kisuke narrowed his eyes at her. Kisuke held up the handle for his Zanpakuto, pointing it directly at the clapping girl.
"...Awaken, Benihime..."
"Is this your Zanpakuto!? Ohemgee! That's so kawaii to sugoi!"
"...What...?"
"You no comprende, senior? That's a cute little Zanpakuto! I'm so jealous of you Soul Reapers!"
Kisuke raised his eyebrows, confusion and amusement written on his face.
"Benihime? Cute? She's not a very nice woman, if ya get my drift, little girl..."
Kisuke's eyes widened when he heard the voice of the girl in his ear.
"...What drift?"
Kisuke twisted his body rapidly, slashing at the girl. Feeling wetness in his ear, he turned to the little girl, swiping and slashing the edge of her hand."
"Owie! My hand... Mommy... I need a band-aid..."
"Yes, little girl, go back home to your mommy."
Kisuke sheathe his sword and turned around, walking away.
"And where do you think you're going...?"
Rolling his eyes, Kisuke continued to walk away, ignoring the sound of her voice. However, his sense went off, and he flashed away in time to dodge the gigantic, thirty-foot warhammer that nearly smashed him into the pavement.
"...Holy hell..."
Behind the little girl, an older woman, similar in appearance and clothing to the girl, held the hammer on her shoulders. The little girl nestled herself into the bosom of the woman, snifling and crying to herself. Kisuke's confusion was pasted on his face as his eye twitched.
"...I did not sense you at all..."
"...Of course you didn't... I don't exist, technically."
"..."
"...You see, this isn't a hammer, like you may assume... This is a Heilig Pfeil... An arrow..."
Kisuke stared at the 'arrow', shock marring his features. The 'woman' continued speaking.
"...A testament to the girl's spiritual prowess."
"...And you?"
"...I have no name. I'm simply the 'Spirit Weapon' of this Quincy. Her guardian... nothing more, nothing less."
"Bankai."
"Segunda Etapa!"
Both Toshiro and Halibel used their final releases as they prepared to fight the onslaught of Quincy heading for them.
"...Behind you."
"I'm watching myself! You worry for yourself, woman!"
"..."
Halibel ducked under an incoming slash, moved back, and slashed the Quincy in half. Behind her, Toshiro froze an incoming wave of Soldat, rupturing them into pieces as he turned and hit the sneaking Quincy behind him.
"...Above you."
"Shut up, Espada! I'm not asking for your help!"
"..."
"..."
Halibel raised an eyebrow before flooding the area, which Toshiro took advantage of by freezing it.
"That's a whole group down."
"I know what happened, Arrancar! Stop talking to me!"
"..."
"How can both of you disrespect the primordial natural substance in such a manner?"
Both Espada and Captain turned at the sound of the voice, seeing no one. However, eventually, a small gallon of water broke through the ice, before suddenly evaporating into gas. The gas then formed a body, which was a man, covered with a white trench coat and a brim hat. His eyes were covered with goggles.
"...That was such a pathetic display of battle... It makes me want to cry a river..."
"You seem different than the others..."
"..."
"Be careful. This guy isn't a simple Stern Ritter."
"No shit, Soul Reaper! I can see that!"
"...So, Yachiru Unohana... Will you demonstrate to me the power... of the woman who annihilated ten districts in a single stroke?"
Unohana looked down at her Zanpakuto, seeing the reflection of thousands of souls torn apart by it's sharp edge.
"...That's... exactly what I came here to do, Juhabach..."
Notes:
-College starts again for me, so now that I will have a stable internet connection again, I can update fast. I didn't abandon the story.
Trivia:
-Unohana's talk with Tenjiro in this story occured when Ichigo was talking to Spirit King.
-According to Kubo, Unohana let's down her hair when she fights.
-The reason Yamamoto had his first name(Ejisai, I think) was because Unonhana gave him his first scar.
-Isane is now Captain of the Fourth Division. Considering she only 'almost' fought (Knocked out by Ichigo.), and Chojiro, who was apparently 'Captain' level, got his ass kicked the same way, it is unknown of how powerful she is. In this story, she's low-tier Captain level(Renji and Ikakku level) and might be using a Bankai soon.
-The young Quincy's 'Spirit Weapon' being another person is based from the Zaraki-Yachiru theory(That Yachiru is the manifested materialization of Zaraki's Zanpakuto.)
