Explanation
"You don't know about Fire Knights when you are one yourself?" asked Yamamoto.
"I didn't know," replied Ken, "after all, I didn't know anything about the Soul Society and the Hollows. How would I know about the Fire Knights?" Yamamoto nodded his head.
"Then I shall explain it to you," he stated, "long ago, before the Quincy's were wiped out, two rare species of humans existed. One of those two were called Fire Knights. Fire Knights were humans that could use their spirit energy to form a holy fire called Spirit Fire." Ken looked at his arms and lit them.
"Spirit Fire?" he asked with a confused look on his face as he unlit his arms.
"Correct," continued Yamamoto, "Spirit Fire can effect Hollow's and Soul Reaper's just like a Zanpaku-to. However, the Spirit Fire can take shape of a single weapon or armor on each arm, or a weapon on each arm. The Fire Knights can also have a armor piece on each arm. However, that is the extent of their powers." Ken smiled and showed Yamamoto and the others that he had more then one choice.
"It seems that I have a wide variety," he said with a smirk on his face.
"This can't be," stated Yamamoto, "no Fire Knight ever had such an arsenal. Well, except for, the Blaze Knight."
"What's the Blaze Knight?" Ken asked in confusion.
"When Fire Knights still existed," explained Yamamoto, "one stood above them all, the Blaze Knight. The Blaze Knight had a wide range of weapons to use, making him a very powerful opponent indeed. He, in fact, was the only Fire Knight to get his entire body encased in Spirit Fire. This gave him higher power than the others, and even more choices of weapons and armor. The other Fire Knights could only get the arms or legs encased. This limited their power compared to the Blaze Knight." Ken absorbed all the information that he had just heard.
"So, you are saying that I am a descendant of the Blaze Knight?" he finally asked.
"It is possible," replied Yamamoto, "however, I must ask you, did you have any real life training with any of those weapons?" Ken thought about it, but he didn't. The only training that he had ever had was with Yoruichi right before he came to the Soul Society.
"No," Ken finally replied.
"Then there can be no mistake," stated Yamamoto, "you are indeed a descendant of the Blaze Knight, either that or the spirit of the Blaze Knight is in you."
"How does that prove anything?" Ken asked.
"Because," explained Yamamoto, "not once did the Blaze Knight ever receive training with any weapons, and yet he was an unstoppable force." Ken was shocked, he finally found out what he was. He was Ken Kyro, the Blaze Knight.

Xavier was running over the place.
"KEN!" he shouted, "WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!" Xavier was furious for some reason at Ken, and only Xavier knew why.

"So," Ken said a little depressed, "what happened to the Fire Knights?"
"Curious about the past?" asked Yamamoto, "the Fire Knights were wiped out by the Soul Shifters." Ken's expression on his face went from calm to shocked.
"The Soul Shifters killed the Fire Knights?" he asked.
"Correct," stated Yamamoto, "it was a brutal battle, so brutal that neither side survived. The Fire Knights and the Soul Shifters wiped each other out in one battle. The last two standing were the Blaze Knight, and the King of Soul Shifters. He was called the King Shifter for short."
"King Shifter?" Ken looked confused.
"The King Shifter was like the other Soul Shifters, so long as he had a picture of an animal, he can turn into a animal. The King Shifter; however, had a little more power than the others. Every Soul Shifter had odd colored hair, but the King Shifter was always the same. The hair color of the King Shifter always was a bright blue." Ken looked shocked again.
Xavier is the King Shifter, he thought, unbelievable. Ken straightened himself out and stared back at Yamamoto.
"How do you know all of this?" Ken asked.
"I have been around longer than you think," explained Yamamoto, "even though it happened before we wiped out the Quincy's, I still remember it. Fire Knights and Soul Shifters never once saw eye to eye. However, they did fight together on rare occasions. Both of them fought with the Soul Society long ago."
"Then why did they have to fight a brutal battle to the end?" asked Ken.
"The Blaze Knight and the King Shifter, as well as the others on their sides, had had enough of working together. They believe that the world didn't need three groups to protect it. One had to go. There was only one thing that the Blaze Knight and the King Shifter ever agreed on."
"Which was what?" asked Ken.
"That the Soul Reapers and the Soul Society needed to stay," explained Yamamoto, "that leaved the Fire Knights and the Soul Shifters."
"So, they fought a brutal battle like you said earlier," Ken added. Yamamoto nodded his head.
"I had thought both sides were wiped out," he said with a straight face, "however, it is good to know that a Fire Knight, let alone the Blaze Knight, survived."
"Why are you glad about that?" asked Ken.
"Because," explained Yamamoto, "now that you know the truth, you can come work on our side." Ken didn't make a move or a sound right away. Soon though, he started to laugh.
"Me?" Ken pointed to himself, "work on your side? That's hilarious."
"Hmm," Yamamoto hummed.
"Because I don't want to work with people that kill one of their own teammates." Ken jumped behind Rukia.
"Do you know what you are doing?" asked Yamamoto.
"I do," replied Ken, "I am not turning my back on a friend. If you meant that promise that you made to Rukia, then I know that you won't kill me." Ken smiled.
"So do you plan to fight us?" asked Yamamoto.
"Yeah," replied Ken, "I do. Now who wants to go fir-" Ken stopped talking as soon as he saw someone. There was a lieutenant badge on her sleeve, she had silver hair with two long threads of hair with beads in them coming down from her main hair, and Ken was shocked to see her.
Lilly, Ken thought in his state of shock.

"KEN!" Xavier shouted again, "WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!" Xavier was still furious at Ken as he rampaged through the area looking for his target.
