A result of a leak in the goeti 13 training school maybe. You shouldn't know that technique and if you were a part of the school you would have a blank zanpacto with you along with a blank coat of being in training. So I'll ask you who are you and what are your real intentions? Just tell me cause right now I can still walk away but unless you have information I'm looking for I won't help" Angelo warned not wanting to be dragged into something illegal for someone he just meet unless it meant he would find his sister everything to this point has been suspicious and he wouldn't do anything to tarnish the honor of being in squad two or the seretai

"You're getting a little too ahead of yourself cowboy. I've already told you my intentions, revolving this predicament anyways. And everything else is personal, I only trust a select few with that. Not just a man who I thought was nice but turned out to be quite impolite."Feyora stopped before turning to him with a serious look. "I never told you that I had any information that would help you. Not to add on that I offered, not begged so you can leave whenever you want. All I wanted to do was get revenge on those that killed my friends and that's what I'm gonna do. Now if you'll excuse me..." She bowed once more before continuing on her desired path.

Angelo was ready to leave then and their....but he couldn't, instead his legs carried him towards the woman's path, the path of avenging those that took the lives of someone dear to them. That's what Angelo responded to above all else, he doesn't want to do anything illegal and if someone tries to pin that on him he will deny it but right now helping this woman get her revenge almost seemed like his own goal except for finding someone so Angelo followed and sighed loudly "im sorry for accusing you like that." Angelo said simply following her knowing he couldn't leave someone who wasn't trained to fight hollows alone either. he will just say he couldn't convince a civilian to go away from the hollows and was forced to help her instead besides it is always good to have someone on the outside of the goeti 13 to call on if help is ever needed. After this he would make sure to tell her to look for his sister in the streets. He will always look for his sister but maybe it was time to look for outside help and this woman may be his ticket to finding her. "once this is over and done with you will owe me one" he said simply walking with her wondering where her 'big' hollows were

Gustavo sat down, and gave a nervous laugh, "Ya about the survey, I didn't really get around to it with all the paperwork I had to do." He then scratched the back of his head, and continued, "I will try to get around to it latter, but for now I think we should maybe just sit around, and wait for Koyo to come by, and if she doesn't come in a few hours, then I guess we will have to look for someone to take her place sadly." He then let out a deep sigh,

"its important, we need a Profile of everyone in the squad for the Gotei 13 records. especially after that fiasco last week with the arrancar. The higher ups want everyone's parameters to come up with strategies and stuff i guess." Giovanni explained "it shouldt take more than five minutes" he looked up into the sky "oh also, while i have you, I ran into another Menos a few days ago while I was running the team exercises with the corps and squad. have you run across any?" Menos were rare, they should be rare anyway, however they can be controlled by stronger hollows, such as Adjuches or even Arracnars, and given that there was a shit ton of arrancar that attacked the world of the living and some that allegedly invaded the seireitei the menos he, gustavo and Ko fought could very well have been a planned distraction to lessen the collective strength of the gotei 13 along with the invasion. That was the angle Gio was looking at it from. Even his mysterious female friend from the north seemed to agree with him.

Speaking of his friend another hell butterfly fluttered to him, with a coded message. "1001 paper cranes, 657 auburn branches, . 9 feathers of the three headed beast. " Giovanni knew it was coordinates as well as what to look for a them. nine feathers of the three headed beast meant Sect movement in an unnatural pattern. so the coordinates were likely the place of their place of convergance. It wouldn't be smart of Gio to rush out there blindly, and it wasn't like he could sense that far out. so he reached into his shihakusho and pulled out a piece of chalk and started drawing on the roof. Heart of the south, eye of the north, finger of the west, foot of the east, arrive with the wind and depart with the rain. Bakudo 58, kakushisuijaku.'' he whispered as he directed his kido enhanced search toward the coordinates he was given. "ok look more Menos..." he sighed

Kirishin/The Masked Assailant Shikirin

- 4 Hours Later -

Kirishin was in his room after an average days work, preparing to get some rest for the day to come. "Ahhh, finally some alone time with myself. Now what to eat after a long days work? Leftover Chicken Penne or maybe something more suitable." Kiri walked over to the kitchen section before opening his version of a refrigerator. It wasn't very different from the human kind just considerably larger and a more cool design. Opening the fridge revealed tons of basic everyday ingredients which wasn't to his liking at the moment. "Guess this means chicken Penne is what I'll be eating tonight." Kirishin said depressingly as he grabbed the chicken Penne plate before stuffing it in the microwave.

He waited by bobbling his head impatiently as the food was being heated up. After nearly a minute and a half, the leftover meal was finally re-heated. "Finally..." Kiri pulled his dinner from out of the microwave and after getting a fork, proceeded to dig in. The taste of the Penne had been toned down from being in the fridge but it was still pretty good overall. Once finished, he cleaned the dishes used before falling backwards on his bed. "Another night, another day....Prelude To Perdida"

Shikirin

"Where can I find Suritoshi Ferratsa?"
"I'm not telling you shit!!"
"My blade says otherwise..."
"I'm a tough cookie, I'm hard to bre-arghhhhh!!!!" District 120, in the midst of the night, a man screams. His screams echo throughout the west part of the district but no one responds to it. Are they deaf or are they afraid of what will happen when they attempt to confront the individual? Over the course of the next few hour screams seem to be occurring more than usual.

Eventually one of the warriors that the mysterious Assailant attempts to interrogate is quite the combatant. "Earth Tremor Crush!!!!" A male wielding an abnormally large hammer yells as he slams down with extreme force. A large tremor is created in its aftermath, shaking everything on east section of the District. Unfortunately, the mysterious assailant known as Shikirin was in the air and has been since before the move was unleashed. Killing and injuring many of the denizens along with destroying key buildings of the District itself.

The reckless act forces Shikirin to come out of hiding, for fear of having anyone else caught in the crossfire. He reveals himself to the hammer expert causing the man to laugh in response. "So how long do plan on wearing a gas mask?" The hammer wielder asked seriously, having a secret dislike for warriors that hid behind masks. "For the duration of this night, might I ask before we continue?" The mysterious Assailant replies softly but in a muffled voice because of the mask he's wearing. The question is left mysterious for reasons unknown which makes the warrior stop any further movement.

"Nop-!!!" The assailant shunpoed in front of the man almost instantly with the word "Byakurai..." leaving his mouth. The discharge of energy was powerful enough to force the man to his knees. "A coyote take his time time eating his prey, but I ain't no coyote. Give me a name and you'll be allowed to walk away from this. Suritoshi is someone that has information that can lead me to an answer. The question remains silent until the one capable of solving it is currently present. With that being said, do you know where that name resides?" For once the mysterious assailant spoke words that was longer than a sentence.

"Sorry but it looks like your out of time." The hammer expert said with a smirk on his face as cracks started appearing on Shikirin's mask. From the looks of it, the mask wouldn't last any longer but things was about to take a turn for the worst. "It looks like you've mistaken me for attempting to hide my identity. It's true that I prefer to conceal myself but I can do without when push comes to shove." The mysterious assailant noted, kicking the man's weapon to the as the mask had already began to fall off.

"It's alrigh-wait it's not alright!!! I'm not going to just forgive your impoliteness so easily. If you actually want my forgiveness you have to be more nicer and less gloomy. And I'm in no way indebted to you for choosing to come along. That was your choice which wasn't influenced in no way by me. I just offered since it look liked it would take your mind off of drinking." Feyora halted in front of a cave lit by gems. Judging by the sounds it echoed that could be heard from this distance, displayed how spacious it actually was. "There's no turning back until it's done after this point so..." She turned to Angelo before speaking once more. "Are you ready? It's going to get dangerous from this point so you'll need to remove any extra doubts out your mind or just head back."

You talk to much, when we're done you owe me" he said with a small smile patting her back twice before he went inside the cave first "suffering strengthen my resolve" he said as his sword changed into his spear walking inside and waiting for the Hallows to show up Angelo knew his talents would be put to the best of use in the narrow space

With another smirk, Rio flew back a little but flipped in the air to stop herself, landing and standing straight with her Zanpakuto pointed downwards while still in the air. She ordered, preparing herself both physically and mentally. Now was her time to see how he is on the more offensive side of battles, how he would prefer to fight. Close ranged or long ranged? Rio felt that she already had an answer in mind, but she kept her mind free from expectations. She believed Shou had the potential to go far and maybe even master all areas of fighting so she wasn't going to add expected limitations to his power, that would be a foolish thing to do... This was the first time that Rio ever had a student instead of being the student... She was going to invest as much time into Shou's improvement as she could but would make sure she had time to train herself for the inevitable event that will occur in the future....

Shou watched as Rio jumped back, she then gave him the order to attack her and instantly Shou's mind began to work, attacking was never as simple as it could sound and if you wanted to make every attack count you'd have to be smart about it, Shou then crouched down quickly and put his left palm down, pointing it to the ground as it glew red then suddenly and explosion of red smoke erupted from Shou's location, a second after a tumble weed then flew out of the smoke, flying above Rio, then Another flew out the smoke, this time flying to her right, Shou then used Shunpo to get to her left side, hoping the tumble weeds would confuse her, this would create an opening to which he would take advantage of, however it lay heavy on the fact that she were to get distracted by the Tumble weed. Shou now behind Rio, just off to her left was moving his Zanpakuto in for a single slash to her left side and back, Shou did have to accept that if this didn't work he could be stuffed

"Oh really? Cause I don't think crying is permission!" Aya said as her Horin was bounced backwards from the girls Reiatsu, which made Aya shrug. "Well poor people below then." Aya muttered then hearing a hado she never heard before which hit her yet only pushed her back a little bit, which made Aya tilt her head. "Cut the weak shit, if I'm going to be serious, you best bump up that number a bit." Aya said a she again lunged at the girl this time however she started to spin at her like a torpedo and from the tip of her blade started to form this liquid metal substance which instead of forming infront of the blade trailed downwards to the hilt and then covering up Aya, making this seem like an actual metal torpedo hurdling towards Lucy.

Lucy tilted her head, confused "What? I heard you were crazy, but not this crazy" She said, slightly taunting Aya. She smirked at what Aya had said "Fine then, don't blame me for what happens" Lucy did not budge an inch as Aya went spiraling towards her, forming into a tornado. Lucy raised her hand, a white cloth coming out of her sleeve "Sentan Hakuja Mod 4" The cloth spiraled and condensed, making a portal hole which Aya went through. Lucy quickly leaped in after. A portal formed on the outskirts of the Soul Society, facing downwards so Aya would crash on the ground, Lucy dropped out of it shortly afterwards, landing on a blue platform and floating away from Aya. She jumped on the ground, cracking her knuckles "Since we're not close to the Soul Society, we don't have to hold back" She said with a wide grin, her emerald eyes changing into a crimson.

Bakudo 58, kakushisuijaku.'' he whispered as he directed his kido enhanced search toward the coordinates he was given. "ok look more Menos..." he sighed

Gustavo looked over Giovanni's shoulder, and frowned slightly. "More menos? It seems like they are becoming more, and more of a problem lately, but I didn't think they would show up so soon." He then grabbed his sword, and sighed, "So should we go take care of them?" The idea of fighting another menos, no matter how powerful they were, was tiring for Gustavo to say the least. He wasn't the kind of person to back down, but sheer intimidation was enough for him to at least be extra cautious. In the end though it wasn't whether or not he wanted to fight, it was whether or not he had to fight, and he was ready to leave as soon as Giovanni, or another higher up gave him the order.

Aya found herself crashing into the ground after going through this portal thing, and when the dust cleared she looked around to see no building in sight, besides Lucy, Aya cracked her neck and shunpoed over to her, and looked her dead in the eye. "So want to bring my son back, and we can forget about this, or." Aya said reeling back her left arm. "Do you want me to continue, until I force you to bring him back?"

“Yeah but there is more to this, I’ll explain what I can on the way.” Giovanni sighed before he hopped off the roof and started for the gate. He didn’t speak until after they had made it out of the seireitei. “For the last year or so I have been conducting a personal investigation. As you may have noticed over the last two decades or so the shinigami population has thinned out significantly. While there was a large number of casualties, including captain level fighters a substantial part of the numbers were deserters. Normally squad 2 handles those kinds of things but due to the lack in numbers in the seireitei as I whole I think they haven’t been putting much effort into tracking them down and focused on maintaining the seireiteis’ security. In the same way the Kido corp got left on the back burner for decades, other things took priority. I found that these deserters are not technically traitors. While techinically they broke our most important laws they have continued to protect Souls from hollows in the outer districts. We Call them the Sect. since shinigami from the seirietei are seldom deployed in the far districts past 70 that seems to be where their bases are. Since they don’t have to follow the governing rules of a shinigami they gain respect through violence and other not so pleasant means, but they take their duty to kill hollows seriously. I honestly don’t know much about them other than they come from all kinds of squads and specialties so they are fully capable carrying out their missions. But some get a bit bog headed, demanding unruly things and well… long story short they basically get disavowed, and left for dead. It’s a simple system that works. I’ve deduced that they are most likely governed by 4 high level Ex-shinigami. Given that they operate in each Distric direction secretly and as a unit. But something has brought some of these units together and they are converging on our menos’ location. What ever you do, do not engage them. they out number us and probably are more than willing and capable of ending us. However there is a chance that one of the leaders will be here, given the severity and urgency of the call and response. If I can speak with him..or her. I might be able to get more information about these Menos sightings….or a hands on lesson in more advanced tactics than we get with our regular training. The investigation wasnt...top secret or anything, just more like one of personal interest that i was able to conduct in what ever free time i could get. feels good to have back up though.”

As he got closer to the scene his senses began to pick up a lot of spiritual pressures. Sure there was a menos, but there were a lot of hollows. A lot of shinigami(sect) spiritual pressures and something else. Something he hadn’t sensed before but it was definitely hollow in origin. He kicked up his speed and eventually stopped to observe for a moment, not bothering to hide his spiritual pressure. The scene was Epic. Dozens of fighters fighting dozens of hollows. “be careful” he warned Gustavo “there is something here that’s far stronger than the menos. And its hiding…Harmonize, Sorareo-O” he drew his zanpakuto as it transformed into a rapier. “don’t worry about the menos, they are handling it, focus on the Hollows, and stay sharp” With that Gio shunpoed into the battle rather gracefully. While he normally focused on Kido this time he did his best to exemplify squad fives reputation in overall excellence.

While Kido was is forte all day everyday, he long since discovered that hakuda and kido went well together and the swordplay was an added bonus. He switched effortlessly between the three skills, though his zanjutsu was really lacking compared to his reflexes and kido. His ability to fly madehim a hard target to hit and a fast striker, never firing a kido that he might miss, making sure to fire them at close range only, even infusing them into his sword strokes for added power.

"So want to bring my son back, and we can forget about this, or." Aya said reeling back her left arm. "Do you want me to continue, until I force you to bring him back?"

Without flinching or hesitating, Lucy moved her head forward to headbutt Aya in the head. She saw Aya winding up her fist but paid little attention to it, she actually wondered how hard she could hit. If the headbutt were to hit, Lucy would of followed up with a powerful uppercut towards Ayas chin.

Waiting for an answer, Aya received a different answer than she was expecting when Lucy headbutted her, causing her head to reel back a bit, before moving back to where she looked Lucy dead in the eyes again, which was then that she received and uppercut, but this Time as it connected, Aya grabbed her wrist, and grinned. "Maybe you need another hint. When i'm like this, attacks like that don't really faze me. Hence why i said, you better get serious. Before you wind up dead!" Aya said tightening her grip a bit, before swinging her left arm forward at the girls face.

"I don't talk too much, you just talk too little and no I don't. That doesn't mean I won't help if you ask nicel-a Shikai!!?" Feyora questioned with a puzzled look as the man's weapon changed form. Her eyes couldn't help but stare in marvel before redirecting her attention back to the cave. She proceeded to unsheathe her Zanpakuto, following in after him with caution afterwards. "They shouldn't have any in here but things change with time." Feyora whispered so that her voice wouldn't be carried around every inch of the cave. Inside, the place held many colorful gems and stones along with some type of ancient language that can occasionally be seen written on the walls. A light on the far end of the could cave could be seen the closer one was to it but a dark and ominous vibe could be felt coming from the light.

A creepy cave always has something" Angelo said softly looking around the cave wondering what the writing meant, he might need to talk to a captain about this later when this is over. He admired the colorful gems on the walls but soon he saw the light at the end of the tunnel and he held his spear tighter ready to fight anything that came their way since the light didn't look like a natural one glad he was able to ignore ageing to his favor when she saw his shikai but what was odd was she had a zanpacto with her. Apparently she was an unseated shinigami Angelo would need to apologize later for jumping the gun as he went in closer to the light staying in the lead

"Creepy? The beautiful gems make it a bit lovely if you ask me. Unless of course you're just easily spooked from venturing inside small caverns. The other end is what I'm truly worried about..." Feyora said while clenching on to her Zanpakuto in a shivering like manner. The closer to the exit, the more memories of the past started to pop up in her head.

- Past -

"Go!!!! Get out while you still can!!! It's too late for me and this has nothing to do with you!!!" Heope shouted as blood ran down his right eye. Many dead Hollows laid before him and the one he was speaking with more coming from a distance. "Until you breathe your last breath then I won't be leaving anywhere!!!! So stop trying to get me to leave and help me kill these bastards!!!" Feyora gave Heope a stern look which made him sigh before focusing on the crowds of Hollows coming their way.

"Stubborn dumbass, you just wasted the only window of oppurtunity just to back up someone who's running on fumes. Levan's dead, Asture's screwed us while you choose to be the valiant hero in under futile circumstances. Well get ready and see you on the road that lies ahead." Accepting the end, his voice calmed as the beast was in arms reach...

- Returning to present time -

Feyora shaked of the thoughts as the exit was finally within reach. "This is it, I hope your prepared..." She said calmly as the shaking in her hands finally ceased. Past the exit revealed a large passage leading to a mountain but it was in the shape of a rocky tongue. The ominous vibe had intensified upon leaving the cave, indicating that the ominous was near by. The mountain itself was in the shape of a beast and apparently whoever shaped it must've had a very promising talent in that area. Reiatsu could be felt being expelled from someone on the very top of the mountain's peak. Be it Hollow or Shinigami was hard to tell from the current distance.

Angelo gave a soft sigh to ready himself, he could sense the ominous presence around the new area and seeing the mountain didn't do much to waver his suspicions. something was here and this place would turn into a battleground. Angelo took his breath and calmed both his mind an body for whatever battle was to come their way. what he knew was that since the girl didn't change her sword that she probably doesn't know her shikai yet so that's where they were at a disadvantage however Angelo was confident in his own abilities so he would be able to protect her and he could use his speed boost to find a weak spot in whatever creature came at them what she wonders is why wants to face something that would live here without orders to do so. its obvious she's doing this without orders but under who's command worried him more, right now he just needed to see what they were dealing with

(In the past Shiro post)

Shiro had been away from the Seireitei for some time now, the area in which he had come to was no more than another forest. However. This one held a secret, among all the hollows was a man who stood as one of the most feared Shinigami of all time. The man was said to have single handedly took on an army of Gillians, to some it may not seem much but by any means taking down an army of Gillians is impressive...especially within one stroke of his sword...this isn't to mention the terror he shot into people's hearts when they saw him or his Zanpakuto. Even a few of the Captains at that time feared him and in the end it was decided he was far to dangerous and thus was cast out, the man seemingly never wanted revenge on the Soul Society or the Gotei 13 for that matter...he knew what he was. Nothing more than your common killer in uniform, it was no surprise that the man who took his position after that was so weak and died so quickly. However...our common killer was known as none other then Kenpachi Osamu. He stood in the position a refined killer, taking out the generations of strong Kenpachi before him as the Kenpachi Osamu killed had killed the one before him and that man killed the one before him...regardless to say this man was likely the strongest Kenpachi in history until Zaraki who is well missing these days.

Shiro began taking his first steps into the forest which was surprisingly empty, the supposed hollows were nowhere insight...Osamu didn't even have to kill them, he could walk among them as they feared his very presence...his Spiritual energy was terrifying after all so what need did he have to kill hollows? if one attacked it'd disintegrate within a small burst of his energy. Osamu had learned to control his monstrous spiritual energy which in turn made it even more terrifying, his Spiritual energy then was truly something to be feared and it now was still something to be feared, even more so as his Spiritual would have grown since then.

As Shiro walked on he felt nothing, he was probably wasting his time here...there were no hollows, nothing...he couldn't feel a thing. Osamu however...he could feel Shiro's presence, he sat within a small cave ontop of a mountain within the middle of the forest, he opened his eyes slowly as he looked to the caves opening "Whats this? a visitor? Hmf...good, it's been a few years since I killed the last one" Osamu reached to his right to grab his Zanpakuto then he stood slowly and began taking long, slow steps to the exit before emerging in the light of the moon, he then began taking a few steps until he got to the edge of the mountain, he then stopped and looked down at the forest, it was surprisingly empty...even when Osamu was around hollows were so where were they now?

Shiro continued to walk through the forest, his right hand gripping his Zanpakuto tighter as it rested on his right shoulder "That crazy bastard Head Captain gave me a no one! they don't even fucking exist! I can't feel them at all!" Shiro grit his teeth then frowned as he then placed both hands on the hilt of his Zanpakuto and slashed it down into the ground releasing a shockwave that tore up tree's and levelled a fair sized area, he then took his left hand off his Zanpakuto and stood up straight as he shouted out "IF THERE IS ANYONE HERE SHOW YOURSELF!! I'M SICK AND TIRED OF THIS LOOKING SHIT! GET YOUR COWARDLY ASS DOWN HERE!!!" Osamu watched the forest as a portion of it was suddenly wiped out, clearly whoever was looking for him was stupid because they seemed to have been walking around in circles, completely missing the massive mountain within the middle of the forest...

Osamu then raised his Spiritual energy slightly as a massive wave of spiritual pressure washed over the area. Once Shiro felt the Spiritual pressure his eyes widened, yet they then narrowed slightly as he looked over to the mountain seeing a man with an orange Aura standing atop of it "Well looks like I found you..." Shiro hadn't found him...the guy had to make himself obvious before Shiro got even close but Shiro wasn't one to think so much, he saved that for battle and rare serious moments. Shiro then raised his own Spiritual energy as he walked towards the mountain and once there he stopped just a bit away from it as he looked up to the peak, seeing Osamu jump down then land on the ground just a bit infront of him, as his feet hit the ground the earth around him cracked and broke off, flying up into the air. Osamu then stood up straight, his sheathed Zanpakuto resting on his right shoulder "What business does an ant like you have here? if it's to be killed then that's great...cause that's all your getting " Shiro simply raised his Spiritual energy causing wind to swirl around him, his red spiritual energy then shot into the air in the form of a pillar, the wind swirling around it.

Osamu looked at Shiro then began laughing for a few seconds before stopping and speaking "You call that Spiritual energy? Try this!" Osamu then took his Zanpakuto off his right shoulder and got into a stance as he placed his left hand on his Zanpakuto's sheath and began to slowly unsheathe it, the second the Zanpakuto left the sheath his Spiritual energy sky rocketed and fired off into the sky as a pillar of orange spiritual energy...3 times the size of Shiro's



Shiro looked at Osamu then looked to the sky where all he could see was the pillar of Spiritual energy Osamu was exerting, all the showed was a grin on Shiro's face, nothing else...just a grin, this made Osamu frown "What you grinning about? what does this excite you? feeling the power of someone stronger?" Shiro then looked back down at Osamu, the grin still on his face "...Your more of an idiot than I am..." Osamu then gripped his Zanpakuto tightly as he then launched himself at Shiro, his Zanpakuto held back behind his head as he appeared infront of Shiro in the air, Bringing his Zanpakuto down on him, Shiro then lifted his Zanpakuto off his right shoulder and used the base of his large Shikai to block the attack as he held his Zanpakuto horizontally across his face, the tip of his Shikai facing out to his right, the two clashing was enough to form a crater beneath Shiro's feet and the instant Shiro felt Osamu's Zanpakuto hit his, his eyes widened...this man wasn't even showing a fraction of his Spiritual energy however he could feel it all in this attack this caused Shiro's Shikai to shake before his arm gave out, finding Osamu's Zanpakuto cut into his left shoulder, Shiro quickly slashed at Osamu causing him to retreat a few feet as blood then shot out of Shiro's left shoulder

Osamu skidded back as he landed on the ground "So how do you like that on-" Osamu's eyes then widened as he saw Shiro charge at him, his Zanpakuto coming down at Osamu, Osamu had to raise his Zanpakuto to clash with Shiro's however Shiro just lifted his Zanpakuto off of Osamu's and kept slashing every time, Osamu continuously had to move his Zanpakuto to block Shiro's which just didn't seem to stop, all he could see was a flurry of red and the occasional look at Shiro's face "COME ON! LET'S GO KENPACHI!!" Shiro then clashed with Osamu again yet he held his Zanpakuto there as he pushed against Osamu's, their blades shook as they sparked occasionally then Shiro and his Zanpakuto became enveloped in a red aura as he began to push harder against Osamu's Zanpakuto, this caused Osamu's eyes to narrow as he then raised his own and began pushing back, the two continued to raise their spiritual energy as they pushed back against eachother, their Spiritual energy fought in the sky as the pushed back against eachother.

Osamu then released a large burst of Spiritual energy causing both their blades to almost forcefully fly back a little from eachothers this then released a massive shockwave that levelled a massive amount of the area, The two then clashed again, Osamu then threw his left fist at Shiro's face causing it to slam into Shiro's face with great force yet Shiro's head didn't budge an inch, instead Osamu then found Shiro's left palm slammed into his face as he was then pulled forward then thrown flying back into the mountain, smashing into it and leaving a crater roughly the size of his body, Shiro then began gathering silver wind within his left palm, iron shards then began forming within the ball of silver wind then Shiro pointed his left palm at Osamu and fired off a massive beam of Silver wind and iron shards

Osamu stepped out of the crater to see a massive beam of silver wind coming towards him, this instantly made him grin as he then extended his left palm to the oncoming attack as he began charging up his own attack, fire began to gather within his left palm then instantly fired off in the same beam form as Shiro's wind however it's size double that of Shiro's and the second it his his wind it grew to 4x the size as it engulfed Shiro's attack and flew towards him. Shiro's eyes then widened as he raised his Zanpakuto up infront of his face, the fire engulfing him then exploding into the sky, sending fire flying everywhere, igniting the forest around them. Osamu then began laughing "What a fool! that must have burned!"

Shiro then emerged from the smoke left from the fire with his Zanpakuto on his right shoulder, his body cut severely and burnt rather badly, this instantly stopped Osamu laughing as his eyes widened "H-how?! HOW ARE YOU STILL STANDING!!" Osamu then pulled his Zanpakuto back behind his head as the blade became engulfed in flames, he then slashed it forward releasing a massive arc of fire that flew towards Shiro at great speed yet Shiro continued to walk towards it, once again he was hit by the attack and yet again emerged from the smoke, this time his body covered in iron scales, seeing this made Osamu's eyes widen greatly "That form...it's impossible...this has to be impossible! it's just a fake!" Osamu then charged at Shiro, once within range Osamu launched his Zanpakuto forward, aiming to pierce Shiro through the chest only for his Zanpakuto to stop dead on contact with Shiro's iron scales, Osamu then looked up to see Shiro's Zanpakuto coming down at him and before he could react it cut down into his left shoulder causing him to jerk forward then pull back as it left the wound and cut down his torso right down to his right hip, this caused Osamu to stumble back, his left hand holding his chest as blood then shot out of his chest and onto the floor.

Osamu then began panting, Shiro's Iron scales then crumbled off his body as he to then began panting. Osamu then spoke "Why the hell are you here? who are you anyway?" Shiro then did a light chuckle before speaking "Isn't that a bit stupid? maybe you should have asked me at the start of the fight before we got to this point!" Osamu shook his head lightly, his eyes still fixated on Shiro "Don't be an idiot! Let's be honest here...we both want to drag this out as long as we can so we can enjoy this, I can tell thats something you want out of this fight...enjoyment..." Shiro narrowed his eyes at Osamu then spoke "So what? I'm not enjoying talking to you! I was enjoying cutting you!"

Osamu began chuckling "Yeah...and I'm sure you'll enjoy much more but all I want to know is why the hell you are here!! and I want to know who the hell you are!" Shiro let out an aggravated sigh then spoke "Fine! I've come here to kill you Kenpachi Osamu and I Shiro am the Captain of Squad 11...however...I refuse to take the title of Kenpachi until I have killed you! the last known living Kenpachi on my list!" Osamu's eyes narrowed slightly at what Shiro said "Oh? What makes you think you can kill me? I admire the fact that you wont accept the title of Kenpachi until you have defeated those before you...I respect that, your the first decent Kenpachi I know of since...myself. At least you take the title seriously....but don't think I will hand it over to you just like that...Shiro.." Shiro then grinned "I wouldn't want it any other way!!"

The two then charged at eachother and clashed once again, Osamu then pushed back at Shiro as his Spiritual energy burst out from him, Shiro's eyes then widened feeling the sudden pressure from Osamu, his power was incredible and soon enough Shiro was pushed back and sent flying, his body slammed into the floor causing him to flip and roll across the floor, his Zanpakuto falling out of his grip as he then skidded to a stop. Shiro then pushed himself up off the ground slowly then he slowly got to his feet as he let out a deep breath then realised his Zanpakuto was laying on the ground a bit away from him, this caused his eyes to widen as he then turned to see Osamu charging at him, almost within cutting range, it was impossible for Shiro to get his Zanpakuto, this meant he'd have to rely on something he never really used unless in bar fights...Hakuda.

As Osamu slashed down at Shiro, he grinned seeing Shiro weaponless, however he felt his Zanpakuto get knocked away by Shiro's left hand he then felt Shiro's fight fist slam into his gut which, Osamu then gripped Shiro's right arm with his left hand to stop himself flying back as he knew Shiro was trying to find an opening to get his Zanpakuto "It isn't that easy to get rid of me!" Osamu then let out a burst of Spiritual energy and slashed down at Shiro, Shiro then gripped the top of Osamu's Zanpakuto as it came down at him and pulled it towards him, re guiding it's path so it went just over his right shoulder, this free'd up Shiro's right arm enough for him to pull it back and open it up into an open palm, his fingers and thumb all tightly held together as he then slammed his palm into Osamu's gut, delivering a devastating Tessho that carried enough force to cause Osamu to cough up blood and successfully send him flying back.

Osamu flipped in the air then landed on his feet as he began to skid back however he soon found grip and began running back at Shiro not giving him even a second, Osamu then leaped into the air and slashed down at Shiro releasing a large arc of fire, this caused Shiro to raise his arms and cross them infront of his face as the flames hit his arms and sent him skidding back, his teeth grit as the flames continued to burn his arms until the arc then exploded. Osamu then landed on the ground next to Shiro's Zanpakuto, which he then reached down and picked up with his free left hand however as the Zanpakuto wasn't his he could instantly feel the weight of it but to someone like Osamu this wasn't much of a bother "I think I'll kill you in nice way....well...by nice I mean nice for me." Shiro then released a burst of Spiritual energy clearing the smoke around him, he then began walking towards Osamu slowly, a serious expression on his face as he got closer to Osamu

Osamu then grinned and ran at Shiro, slashing down with his Zanpakuto then he slashed down with Shiro's aiming to cut him twice, Shiro then batted away Osamu's Zanpakuto once again with the back of his hand, he then caught his own Zanpakuto in his right hand effortlessly which caused Osamu's eyes to widen, he then saw a bright glow coming from Shiro's left hand which then slammed an orb of silver wind into his gut that then sent him flying back, Shiro's Zanpakuto falling out his grip as he flew back and became engulfed in the silver wind, the iron shards shredding his body as he then slammed into the mountain once again which caused the wind to dispel, Osamu once again rested in a crater this one much bigger than before, his blood covering a large portion of the crater as he then stepped out of it, stumbling a little as he looked at the many wounds over his body the literally allowed blood to pour out of him "Now this fight is getting interesting!!" Osamu's head then shot up as he looked at Shiro, his eyes glowing orange as his Spiritual energy erupted out of him, Osamu then stabbed his Zanpakuto into the ground as it began to glow orange then the ground beneath them began to shake violently

Shiro remained calm, his Zanpakuto once again resting on his right shoulder as he watched Osamu, he then noticed something forming from Osamu's spiritual energy which showed massive proportions, the ground under it's feet crumbling due to the weight of it and it wasn't long until this giant beast was formed yet Shiro remained calm even being face to face with this beast "How about this Shiro?! MEET THE BEAST THAT RESIDES WITHIN MY SOUL!! THE BEAST THAT GRANTS ME THESE POWERS!!" Hearing Osamu speak Shiro's eyes just narrowed "Hm..." fire began to burn around the beast showing just how bad the forest was now, it was a ruined wasteland



The beast then opened it's large mouth as a giant ball of fire formed in it's mouth "This attack has enough power to wipe out half the Seireitei! what chance do you think you have Shiro?!" Shiro continued to remain calm as he pulled his Zanpakuto off his right shoulder, he then let it fall off to the left as he held it so the blade went under his left arm and just as the beast was about to release it's attack Shiro slashed up at it, despite being a large distance away, the beast then stopped completely, it's eyes widening as it then fell in two, being cut right down the middle, this caused it's attack to then explode engulfing a truly immense amount of the area.

Shiro then began walking through the fire as it then turned to smoke "I'm getting sick and tired of walking through this fire of yours...how many times are you going to try hurt me with this shit?" Osamu stood where he was, unaffected by the flames however his eyes wide as he watched the beast fade "I-impossible...how? WHAT DID YOU DO!" Spiritual energy then burst out of Osamu once again as he then appeared behind Shiro, this caused Shiro's eyes to widen "Shunpo?!" Shiro then turned quickly to block the incoming slash that then sent him flying the second his Zanpakuto clashed with Osamu, he went flying with such force that he slammed into the mountain and actually went into it due to the force of the slash. Shiro laid in the Mountain coughing up blood, he looked to the way he came in and all he could see out of it was Osamu.

Osamu's rage had reached it's highest which was shown by the Spiritual energy that surrounded him, his energy was literally engulfing the area which showed his immense power, as he continued to exert this energy he let out a roar of pure anger, this was the last thing Shiro heard before his eyes closed and when he opened them again he was within his inner world

~inner world~

"What the hell am I doing here?! if I don't wake up he's going to kill me! I don't have time for this shit Ryū!" Shiro looked around then he looked up, the only thing he saw was a humongous blade coming down at him, this caused his eyes to widen drastically as his body froze, fear washed over him for the first time in his life, it wasn't even the size of this sword that made him fear it...it was the utter killing intent from it that made him freeze in fear, it was something truly unexplainable. As the blade closed in on Shiro he closed his eyes only to feel a large gust of wind, his eyes then opened slowly only to see the large blade stopped just above him, he then saw it raise up, he watched it raise and eventually followed it to see His Zanpakuto spirit Ketsueki Tetsu Ryū Senshi resting this giant sword on his right shoulder effortlessly "Ry-" "Shut up and listen. You are not going to lose this fight...I refuse to let you, I understand you think you can still beat him but you cant. Do you know what this sword is Shiro?" Shiro looked at the Sword, it's size truly was unreal, it looked impossible to wield yet the impossible was being done



"I don't know...A giant one?" Ryu at this point felt like facepalming yet refrained from doing so "No you moronic idiot, this isn't just a giant sword...it's a symbol...a symbol of the Spiritual energy you hold...this sword isn't even done growing, it grows larger as you grow stronger, as you tap into the endless pool of energy you seem to have...something even I find incredible, it time to use it all...it's time you rid the world of that sorry excuse of a Kenpachi. You had him right the first time Shiro...he is a coward...Now take this sword...and crush him..." Ryu then slashed the sword down on Shiro causing Shiro to suddenly wake up.

~Back to the Soul Society~

He was back where he was yet he felt so much more power...Shiro looked up to see Osamu still charging up his energy, this caused Shiro to frown and he gripped his Zanpakuto tightly then he let out a burst of Spiritual energy, his Spiritual energy began to soar to heights it had never reached before causing the mountain to explode from the inside out as Shiro's Spiritual energy shot into the sky, rubble flew everywhere and soon Shiro's Spiritual energy began expanding outwards engulfing Osamu's like nothing, this caused Osamu's eyes to widen as he then saw Shiro's Zanpakuto glow, it's form changing as it grew larger and larger, the Spiritual energy that had engulfed the area slowly reducing towards the humongous sword that was forming in Shiro's right hands, however he soon had to place his left hand on the hilt as it was growing heavier, once Shiro's Spiritual energy had gone all that remained was this giant sword that rested on his right shoulder "...Lets see what you really are..." Shiro began to lift the sword off his shoulder slowly using all the strength he had as he let out a roar as he lifted it, the veins in his arms and hands sticking out of his skin showing the force required to even lift this sword

Osamu just stood still, his eyes still widened as his arms hung by his side "It is you..." They were the only words Osamu could utter before the giant sword reached it's peak then began falling down towards Osamu, his body frozen, fear washed over it as the sword fell down towards him, the only thing that moved were his eyes which looked at Shiro however Osamu didn't see Shiro...he saw Shiro's Zanpakuto spirit "Ryu..." Osamu looked up at the sword as it got closer to him a small smile then formed on his face as he released his Zanpakuto from his grip "I guess you came back after all...to kill me..." at that point the sword slammed down on Osamu crushing him and sending blood flying everywhere as a massive shockwave was released that was followed by the ground shaking violently, those within the Rukongai could feel the ground shaking yet it died out once it got to about half way through the Rukongai districts.

The Sword Shiro wielded began to glow once again as it shrunk in size, it's shape and size returning to Shiro's usual Shikai. Shiro began to pant as he then fell to his knees..."Last one...off the list..." Shiro then grinned before his eyes closed and his body fell to the floor. Shiro had exhausted himself by using that attack...for once in his life...he was actually exhausted...

(Wish I hadn't gotten lazy T.T so much I left out of this...)

The scene when from bad to worse fairly quickly. Giovanni continued to fight cautiously among the fellow fighters. There was no reprieve when the Menos fell, as if it was meant to be a second wave of hollow poured out of the sky. With all the ‘allies’ on the ground the sky was clear to blast large Kido, He wasn’t the only one with that idea either. a large volley of Kido erupted into the sky in an attempt to stave off the swarm of hollows. Giovanni fired off several Raikoho’s before his senses picked up movement. What ever was hiding around here was moving, so gio sought out the strongest spiritual pressure in the group he was fighting alongside and shunpoed in that direction. As he arrived he sensed a spike in the mysterious energy, which usually meant a cero but it also made it easier to pin point where it was coming from. The man also sensed it but was already engaged in battle so he was un able to react. “Bakudo 73, Tozansho. x3” Gio multi-casted the bakudo, trapping the man in three layered protective barrier in the shape of an upside down triangle. Almost instantly he was inveloped by a Cero from beneath that completely obliterated the hollow the man was fighting but when the blast cleared one barrier remained, roughly eroded but the man inside was unharmed.
“BELOW!” The man shouted, informing his men that the enemy was subterranean. Gio watched as several of the men and women, instantly used their earth type zanpakutoto cause a fissure to form in the ground. Gio would have kept watching but he had more hollows to kill. All those low flights through the forest were paying off. Ever since he learned to fly the real way he made sure he could fly well. It offered a edge in combat when his areal reflexes were as honed as his sword reflexes. It allowed him to use his inhale ability while attacking at the same time to cover up the fact that he was actually charging up for an attack. Unfortunately being airborne made him a target for the aerial hollows. Thankfully he had no qualms about engaging them. With Sorareo-O in his hand and the wind carrying him through the skies Giovanni cain had little to no worries. He was even using some of his hakuda skills in mid air. With a dropping axe kick he descended to the grounded landing right on a hollow about to take out a fighter. There was no time for thank you’s the woman simply turned around and saved Gio’s ass in return. And just like that they separated into the fray, Gio flipped over a hollow, and cleaved another in two before bifurcating the first with a spinning slice. He ducked another hollow, and rose into a spinning high kick that send it flying. He pointed his sword toward the flying hollow and wordlessly fired off a Hado 4, Byakurai from the tip of the blade, killing the beast. He turned around and caught a fist with his bare hand only to move it out the way so he could quickly stab the hollow it was attacked too about 12 times in the face.

When he looked up again the man in charge was fighting a small hollow. Well, small isn’t the best word to describe it. compact works better. The thing was sporting the spiritual pressure of a menos and tossing people around like rag dolls. Giovanni could tell he had no place in that battle, so he continued with the hollows, blasting them out of creation in a myriad of ways. Until the commander of the Sect came crashing down beside him. He was live, clearly it would take him a moment to get back up but it but Gio in the cross fire, Literally. The insanely strong hollow was already charging a Cero and prepping it for firing. Gio stepped between the two and held out his hands. “Bakudo 81 Danku” the thin but sturdy barrier was erected immediately, Giving Gio enough time to make sure he was directly in front of the Sect commander. “Bakudo 32 Tozashin. Times 5” a five layered barrier formed around Giovanni firmly a second before the Cero broke through his Danku. This cero was stronger than the last one, Gio had anticipated that, but he underestimated how much stronger. When his 4th barrier shattered he was forced to waste his Inhale charge on a lightning barrier and even that didn’t defend him completely. When the blast cleared the commander was unharmed, but Giovanni was standing in front of him, shirt torn and body wounded by the blast, he held his sword up defensively “with all due respect sir….fuck him up.” He said as he dropped to a knee.
“it will be my genuine pleasure. “ the commander replied while placing a hand on Gio’s shoulder before he shunpoed back into his battle. Another person came over to Gio and started healing him with something similar to kaido. It was clearly modified for Combat situations but Gio of course was not complaining. It only took a couple minutes for gio to be able to go back into the fight, he had to take it easy on kido but his body was fixed up enough to fight physically.
