Stop Execution
Ken waited in the trees like he was asked. The sun was raising high in the sky. Ken found it hard to believe that they would show up alone. Sure enough, Toushirou and Rangiku entered the forest by themselves.
"Are you here?!" Toushirou called out to Ken.
"Yeah," Ken replied as he jumped out of the tree he was sitting in, "I am a little surprised that you two came alone."
"We are too," Rangiku stated, "but here we are."
"So, what do you want to talk about?" asked Ken.
"It's about the execution that we had planned for Rukia," stated Toushirou, "it was changed again."
"Changed?" Ken said with confusion.
"Yeah," Rangiku said with a depressed look, "in fact, this isn't the first time that he had been changed. That is the whole worry."
"We believe someone is forwarding the execution to steal the execution tool at its full power," Toushirou explained, "and if you are here to save Rukia, then the only chance you are going to be able to save her is up there." He pointed to a hill near the white tower.
"That's the execution grounds?" asked Ken.
"Correct," Toushirou confirmed the information, "you better get over there as soon as possible too. The execution starts soon." Ken lit up his arms and smiled.
"That's all I need to know," he said as he threw his grappling hook, "I'll stop this execution." With that, Ken flew to the grounds to stop Rukia's execution.

Xavier slowly woke up in a cell. He saw Chad, Ishida, and a badly bandaged Ganju.
"Hey you're awake," Ishida welcomed back Xavier.
"Yeah," Xavier said holding his hand to his forehead, "what the hell happened?"
"We ran into another captain," explained Ishida, "one that makes a sound that knocked us out."
"Holy crap," Xavier said as he sat up, "I didn't think I would be caught so easily." Ishida, Chad, and Ganju had shocked looks on their faces.
"Easily?" asked Chad.
"Yeah," Xavier agreed, "man, if I had known that sound would have knocked me out, I would have brought my earmuffs."
"You know," Ganju added, "I don't think those earmuffs would have stopped the sound."
"My earmuffs would," Xavier explained, "after all, with those on, I can't hear anything from the outside world." Chad, Ishida, and Ganju sighed.
"But its good to see that you guys are safe," Ganju said with a smile.
"Thanks," Xavier thanked him, "I still can't believe that the enemy didn't kill us."
"The situation has changed," explained Chad, "one of their captains was killed, so we are the first suspects on their list."
"That makes sense," Xavier stated as he looked at his cuffs, "well then, lets bust of here." Xavier tried to change, but it didn't work. "What the hell?"
"Those cuffs prevent us from using our powers," Ganju explained. Xavier sighed.
"Damn," Xavier cursed. Then he quickly checked his pockets, and he still had his picture book. "Good, they didn't take this."
"What's so special about that picture book?" asked Ganju.
"I'll explain later," stated Xavier, "right now, we have to figure out a way to escape from here."
"I say we wait," stated Chad, "Ichigo will come and save us."
"So," Xavier said a little annoyed, "waiting is the plan? I don't feel like waiting for some kind of rescue." Then, Chad heard something from outside. It sounded like screams telling someone to stop.
"Maybe you won't have to wait," Chad said as he smiled. Xavier looked confused until something came crashing from the floor above. Once the smoke cleared, Ganju started to scream.
"IT'S THE CAPTAIN OF SQUAD ELEVEN! KENPACHI ZARAKI!" he screamed.
"Great," Xavier sighed, "you aren't going to let that little girl chase me again are you?"
"What are you talking about?" asked Zaraki, "my lieutenant never chased you." Zaraki then looked at his hair. "What's up with that odd hair color?" Chad, Ishida, and Ganju froze up, but Xavier didn't make a move.
"Can you take these cuffs off now please?" asked Xavier. Zaraki smiled.
"Sure," he said, "that's what the woman wanted anyway." As soon as the cuffs were off, Xavier transformed into a half human half bear creature and destroyed a wall.
"WHERE ARE YOU?!" Xavier shouted as he jumped out of the cell.

Ken waited behind one of the giant poles of the execution grounds. Waiting for to make his move. It didn't take long though, he heard footsteps, a lot of foot steps coming his way. Ken simply smiled. Then, he noticed the priests that were with them put Rukia in the center, and no one had noticed that he was there.
"Now Rukia," stated a old voice, "do you have any final requests?"
"Yes," replied Rukia, "just one. Please, let the Ryoka, those ones that came here to rescue me, go back to the world of the living unharmed." Everyone was silent.
"I will honor your last request," replied the same old voice, "the Ryoka will be returned to the human world unharmed."
"Thank you," Rukia thanked the person. Ken laughed out loud.
"What a lie," he stated as he walked next to Rukia, "you might want to tell the truth. That is that you have no intention of letting us go back."
"Ken?" Rukia said in a state of shock.
"Sorry," Ken apologized to Rukia, "were you expecting Ichigo? I have no idea where he is. I can't wait for him anyway."
"What is the meaning of this?" asked the old man, "who are you?"
"You know," Ken said with a smile, "it's rude to ask for someone else's name without introducing yourself first." Everyone in the area was shocked to hear Ken say that.
"A smart lad," said the old man, "I am the captain of squad one, Yamamoto."
"Well Mr. Yamamoto," Ken said with a smile, "I am Ken Kyro, a friend of Rukia's."
"So you are here to stop this execution," Yamamoto stated calmly.
"Yep," Ken quickly replied.
"No Ken!" screamed Rukia, "he promised that you guys can go home safely. When Grand Captain Yamamoto gives his word, he means it."
"It is a great insult that you would not believe me," Yamamoto stated calmly.
"Sorry," Ken apologized, "I tend not to trust my enemy." Ken lit both arms on fire, ready to do combat. "I'm here to save Rukia, and defeat anyone that gets in my way." Yamamoto actually seemed shocked about Ken's ability.
"I don't believe it," he said in a small state of shock, "I thought Fire Knights were extinct." Ken looked confused.
"Fire Knight?" he asked, "what the hell is a Fire Knight?" Everyone stood in great tension, wondering who was going to make the first move.
