Chapter 7: Final Challenge part 2

After the captain's meeting

Shinji went to Toshiro with a notebook and pen in his hand.

Shinji said, "What made you suspicious of my lieutenant?"

Toshiro said, "She started to lie to me more often, going on some special mission with Yoruichi that I am not allowed to know or follow and going back to her quarters late at night and acting strangely since a few days ago."

Shinji thanked Toshiro and left for Momo's room.

Then when Shinji reached Momo's room he realised that burn was not an accident but rather by her reiatsu.

Shinji was wondering what could cause Momo's reiatsu to be elemental.

He thought of only one possible explanation, bankai training.

If she was training for bankai, he would notice unless she was training at a secret location.

He was thinking of a secret location that Yoruichi would be there.

Suddenly, he thought that it could be the same place where he was first brought to when he was undergoing hollowfication.

When he was going to leave her room, Toshiro appeared.

He said, "Shinji, I want to help you in the investigation."

Shinji said in a strict voice, "No, you cannot help me any further as you are too attached to her and I am her captain."

Toshiro gave a sad face went off.

Shinji made sure that Toshiro didn't follow him and left in the direction of the secret training ground.

When Shinji reached the end of the forest, he saw Jidanbo.

Jidanbo said, "Good afternoon Jidanbo."

When Jidanbo turned around he got a shock.

He said in a shock voice, "Good afternoon captain Hirako."

Shinji said, "Where is Yoruichi Shihoin?"

Jidanbo said, "I do not know where she is, sorry captain Hirako."

Shinji in an annoyed voice said, "Stop lying Jidanbo I know that the two of you are good friends so you should know her whereabouts."

Before Jidanbo continued, the ground began to shake and fire in the form of a cylindrical shape appeared just behind Shinji.

Both Shinji and Jidanbo looked in shocked.

Shinji used Tanma Otoshi on Jidanbo and made him unconscious for a period of time.

Shinji concealed his reiatsu and used an illusion kido to hide his presence and went down the hole.

Continuation from the end of Momo's lunch

When Momo finished her lunch and recovered from most of her injuries, she was hoping that the sun would set soon.

All of a sudden an extremely huge amount of reiatsu was released and burned the ceiling of the training ground.

A circular fire came out from Tobiume and burned right through the ceiling and the patch of land above.

Momo gasped in shock and said, "Tobiume, why did you wake up?"

Tobiume laughed and said, "Do you think that you could achieve bankai easily?"

Momo said, "You seriously leave me with no choice!"

Tobiume said, "You have put all your tricks, there is no other tricks left I am sorry that it has to end like this."

Momo grinned and said, "Are you sure that I have used all my tricks? If so you are seriously forgetting about one!"

Tobiume started to get annoyed and said, "Are you trying to bluff me?"

Momo continued frowned and said, "I did not show anybody this technique and at full power before because it reminded me of Aizen but you leave me no choice!"

Tobiume said, "Don't tell me it is!"

Momo smiled and said, "Yes it is."

Tobiume realised what was going on and started to heat up the place and was storing up energy for one more final attack.

Momo said "Seeping crest of turbidity. Arrogant vessel of lunacy! Boil forth and deny! Grow numb and flicker! Disrupt sleep! Crawling queen of iron! Eternally self-destructing doll of mud! Unite! Repulse! Fill with soil and know your own powerlessness! Hado No.90: Kurohitsugi!"

The surrounding started to darken and multiple boxes of black energy appeared with cross – shaped spears on each box.

It started to multiply and quickly covered Tobiume and lacerated her whole body.

When the boxes disappeared Tobiume was lying on the ground in pain.

Momo dropped onto the ground and continued to pant for air.

When the sun was about to set, Tobiume said, "Congratulations Momo for completing your final challenge and as a reward I would submit to you and teach you Bankai."

After she said it she began to fade away.

Momo said, "Thank You Tobiume."

Yoruichi helped Momo up.

Yoruichi said, "Congratulations Momo for being the 3rd person to achieve Bankai using this method!"

Momo smiled and said, "Thank You Miss Yoruichi, by the way who else achieved Bankai using this method?"

Yoruichi said, "They are Kisuke Urahara and Ichigo Kurosaki."

Momo's eyes widened and said, "You mean the former Squad 12 captain and the substitute shinigami that were declared heroes for stopping Aizen!"

Yoruichi said, "Yes."

Momo suddenly felt something was amiss in the area.

She looked around and couldn't find anything.

Momo realised that a familiar reiatsu but she can't tell who it from was.

Momo removed her peach hairclip.

All of a sudden a huge reiatsu started to shake the entire training ground and forced Yoruichi to lie flat onto the ground being able to move slightly, Momo started to realise whose reiatsu it was.

She put back her hairclip and said to Yoruichi, "Did you invite captain Hirako here?"

Yoruichi said, "No, why?"

Momo said, "Just asking."

She started to look at one direction.

At the same time when Momo removed her hair clip.

Head Captain Yamamoto was drinking his tea, he felt a strong reiatsu that was able to break his tea cup and other small objects in his room.

Most of the shinigami fell flat onto the floor unable to move.

Most of the captains managed to resist the fall but were moving very slowly, the whole place was shaking tremendously.

When the strong reiatsu disappeared, the alarm was raised for an emergency captain's meeting.

Head captain Yamamoto said, "Sorry to disturb you all but we now have a situation. A high level captain class reiatsu was detected but it was not known whom it belonged to. Furthermore we have lost contact with captain Hirako."

Everybody looked in shock, suddenly another wave of an even stronger reiatsu hitting the area this time all the captains were forced flat onto the ground except for head captain Yamamoto, captain Unohana, captain Kyoraku and captain Ukitake.

When the reiatsu disappeared, everybody was in shocked.

Head captain Yamamoto said, "I do not know who have that strong a reiatsu that was nearly on par with mine. We have no time to waste, I would be appointing captain class shinigami on this assignment of capturing this person if failure to capture this person then I would hereby order the excecution of this person!"

Captain Kyoraku whispered to captain Ukitake, "Old man Yama sure is getting desperate!"

Captain Ukitake nodded his head.

Head captain Yamamoto banged his stick against the floor and said, "Toshiro Hitsugaya, Shunsui Kyoraku and Kenpachi Zaraki , I would now appoint the three of you to be in charge of the strong reiatsu case, Squad 2 captain Soifon prepare your men and Squad 4 captain Retsu Unohana prepare your unit for any healing the rest of you get into."

When the head captain banged his stick the three captains disappeared.

Meanwhile back at the secret training ground

Momo nearly fainted after trying out her bankai.

Yoruichi grabbed onto her and asked her to take it easy.

Momo stood on her own two feet and walked towards the left and said, "I know you are there captain Hirako!"

Nothing happened so Momo continued walking forward and tried to grabbed onto something even though there was nothing and said, "Noren Mekuri!"

All of a sudden, a light blue and violet aura appeared along with Shinji.

Shinji smiled and said, "Hi Momo!"

Momo said, "Captain Hirako that was not funny."

Shinji gave a serious look and said, "Did you know that your room was burn by your own reiatsu and I was appointed to investigate the incident?"

Momo remained silent.

Shinji said, "Anyway not bad that you found out that I was using an illusion kido, by the way your reiatsu is strong without bankai and with bankai your reiatsu gets even stronger to the point that it is nearly on par to head captain Yamamoto."

Momo was shock and said, "On par with the head captain no way!"

Shinji remained silent.

Momo recovered from the shocked, she smiled and said, "Thank you captain Hirako! Can you keep it a secret from the rest?"

Shinji said, "Okay!"

Momo said, "Thank you captain Hirako!"

Shinji said, "Can we get back to the barracks and clean up the mess in your room?"

Momo said, "Yes"

She put on her peach hairclip, thanked Yoruichi for helping her and left with captain Hirako to the Squad 5 barracks.

On the way back they met the three captains.

Toshiro said, "Hi Momo, what happened to you?"

Shinji said, "Momo wanted me to train her so she had some slight injuries in the process that is all."

Captain Kyoraku said, "Shinji report back with Momo to the head captain."

Shinji said, "Okay, by the way what are you guys are here for?"

Toshiro said, "The head captain dispatched us to capture or eliminate a person who has similar reiatsu strength to the head captain. Do you have any idea who might it be from or where it came from?"

Momo kept her calmed and said, "Sorry Shiro – Chan I can't help you."

Toshiro said, "It is okay see you later!"

After they chatted, they headed for separate ways.
