The Upcoming War

Krillin and Rukia had now entered the Seireitei. He looked around and noticed how busy everything was. Several men and women in black Kimonos were running around. He even noticed that a few of them were holding Sake in their hand.

Krillin, "Is it always this busy?"

Rukia, "You're probably not going to like my response, but here I go. We received word from the World of the Living that a wish was made with the Dragonballs. After you rest up a bit, you're going to attend a Captain's meeting."

Krillin, "Who made the wish?"

Rukia, "A very evil man. He wished for several villains from Hell to be released."

Krillin, "That's great. So, everyone is preparing for war I assume."

Rukia, "I'm afraid so."

Rukia and Krillin arrived at Squad Four barracks. They were greeted by Hanataro.

Hanataro, "How are you doing Rukia?"

Rukia, "I'm good, how are you?"
Hanataro, "Extremely busy. Everyone is making preparations for the upcoming battle." He then turned to Krillin. "So, you must be Krillin?"

Krillin, "Yes."

Rukia, "This is Hanataro. He's a very good healer. He will help you out before the Captain's meeting. And when you attend that meeting, make sure you treat everyone with the utmost respect. Just a warning, you may find a couple of the Captains to be rather frightening."

Krillin, "I'll keep that in mind."

Rukia, "I'll see you soon."

Krillin, "Thanks for everything."

After a couple of days of sleeping at the barracks, Krillin was feeling extremely rested. He got up and Hanataro began leading him to the location of the captain's meeting. As they were walking, a Garganta opened in the sky and soon disappeared. Krillin noticed something very familiar coming out of it. He counted seven glowing orbs that spread across the surrounding area.

Hanataro, "What was that?"
Krillin, "The Dragonballs. We need to hurry to the Captain's meeting."

Krillin and Hanataro ran and finally got to the meeting. Hanataro stayed back as Krillin went into the room. As soon as he entered, he could feel the Captains' intense energy. He knew these captains were extremely strong; in fact, a couple of them could even put up a good fight against Goku.

Head Captain, "Enter now, Krillin."

Krillin stepped in closer, and bowed. He felt extremely intimidated by all of the eyes gazing at him.

Head Captain, "I'm sure you've been informed of the recent events."

Krillin, "Yes, sir."

Head Captain, "This is one time we were need some outside information. We have never dealt with the Dragonballs before. Do you have any suggested course of action?"

Krillin, "We need to start looking for them right away. In my experience with the Dragonballs, villains are also looking for them. My guess, is that they won't take their time getting here either. They will want the Dragonballs desperately."

Kenpachi smiled at that comment, "Just leave everything to me then."

Captain Kurotsuchi, "I sense that you have a unique kind of energy. Maybe after this is all over, I could experiment on you."

Krillin muttered to himself, "I guess these are the freaky captains."

Kenpachi, "Did I hear you say something?"

Krillin, "Ah, no. Of course not sir."

Head Captain, "Enough. All captains must inform their subordinates of this. Everyone is to prepare for war. We must be ready to fight these beings head on. Krillin will be our guide."

Just then, an intense energy could be felt outside. Krillin began to recognize the villains. He looked more and more scared after each one he sensed.

Captain Ukitake, "What kind of energy is that? They're all extremely powerful."

Krillin ran outside and the Captains followed him. Krillin saw the Ginyu Force, Frieza, Cell, and Babadi standing outside of the Garganta.

Captain Shunsui, "These are you friends, aren't they?"

Krillin, "Yeah, if you could call them that. They're only the most powerful villains we've ever faced."

Head Captain, "War is now among us. Go tell all of your Lieutenants to move out."

Krillin and the Captains watched as the villains flew off in search of the Dragonballs.
