Nene watched as he just simply took the attacks head on stopping them easily, and was able to control them perfectly, it still annoyed her that he did it so fast, but hey it was interesting to see what her idea would look like. However apparently the power wasn't at its maximum potential which made Nene walk up. "There is also the possibility they will listen to anyone, so it wont be helpful if they just get talked into attacking us again, so.... Jump then sit." Nene said to the hollows, seeing if they only listened to one person.

Kaizo had gone out to grab a few things and upon coming back he noticed Rio standing outside his door, he watched her for a few seconds and seeing how professional she looked, he just couldn't help but feel this was the perfect choice...he was glad she accepted the offer...if she hadn't, who knows who he would of been stuck with. Kaizo then took a deep breath and made his way towards Rio then spoke "Lieutenant? is something the matter? visiting me so soon already?"

Rio Okotaru Darishimo

Rio waited to be granted entry, too busy fixing herself to make sure she looked presentable to noticed that Kaizo wasn't inside. Rio then looked up at the door once she was done, raising an eyebrow. 'I guess I'll come ba-' Hearing her Captain's voice immediately grabbed Rio's attention, causing her to turn to him and bow. "Yes Captain, I have something to discuss with you in regards to a new girl called Nōhime Tachibana that I had completed initiating early." Rio raised after she finished talking, stepping out of the Captain's way of the door while ready to follow him.

Hyperion nodded at her. "I'm Hyperion and i started today too, as a matter of fact I just got initiated just a few minutes ago, but anyway, you two have your chat about this mission or room, I'll just be sitting here. Hyperion said looking out the window eyeing a bird when he gasped a bit. "They did not. Those flying bastard, you should give them a piece of your mind." Hyperion then looked back and just pointed out the window, like that would make him seem sane.

Zero listened to gio speak and it seemed he continued to go around in circles about the same thing, it was really going nowhere...however Zero didn't need to even look at anything, he knew what had happened to Gio. "Let me put your mind at ease. Your memory of that time and interaction was erased by former Lieutenant Ryuu, he used a forbidden Kido that causes one to fall unconscious and erase a portion of their memory...that is why you woke up with some pain and also why you could not figure out what had happened. It is as simple as that...he needed to cover his tracks and could not be wasting his time when he had a betrayal planned...now...unless this other matter is truly urgent I do suggest you leave immediately before I turn you into my next experiment...and believe me...this next one will be very painful...I'm sure you do not want to be laying, strapped to a cold table while I cut you open slowly..."

Gio let out a sigh of relief, as if a weight had been lifted off his shoulders. The following threat barely phased him at first. Not until he registered it as one. "no...i'll take m leave. " he said with a smile "thank you." He left the squad 12 barracks but glanced back at it as he walked away. Maybe it was just survivors guilt but Gio couldnt figure out why he wasnt killed. a lot of people lost their lives in the betrayal. Gio decided it was best not to think about it, now that he had the story he didnt really care for the reasons. With that decided he turned and flash stepped toward the squad 5 barrack. more than enough had been accomplished for the day. He went into his office and took a seat, leaning back in is chair as he sifted through reports. there were less than usual since they started the new schedule. overall there was the same about but more spread out through the days tat it was easier to manage and not be overwhelmed.

"Er...are you ok?" she asked the man. The pup huffed, his head settled on her thigh. He made a bit of a kicking motion before he settled down.

"....Well anyways, Haruka, if you'd follow," Hikari said as that weird interaction ended. Hikari began walking and soon they came across an empty room in which Hikari opened the door, "Once you get settled meet me back at where we were." Hikari then walked away, putting his hands into the opposite sleeves as he began thinking of a mission. The one he had in mind wasn't anything official but it'd work out, plus they'd be doing something better than just clearing out Hollows although that was a situation that could be handled as well. Maybe after the current mission, the two new ones need expirence and, well....Hikari could use a little action himself.

Haruka followed quickly after she picked up the pup and the package. "Thank you, Hikari. I will be back within a few minutes." she said before she unpacked the things for the dog. She settled him in a large pet bed with some water and moistened kibble. She kissed his nose which prompted the puppy to lick hers. She giggled. "I'll be back ok? I'll leave some things for you to snuggle into." she said.

She left directions for her guard to not disturb the puppy but to leave a shirt of hers ontop of him. She headed back to Hikari, "Back, boss!"

Ragnarok looked up as the large stones came crashing down onto him, standing still. Lahel quickly got on her feet, shunpoing back and evading the stones and metal bits flying towards. As she landed, one metal bit headed towards her head. Her eyes widened, not having enough time to shunpo back. But before it could hurt her, a black arm raised from her shadow and grabbed the piece of metal, absorbing it into it's skin. A wide grin formed on her shadow below "Don't worry hime, I'm still here" "I had it covered" The shadow chuckled as it's grin faded away. "You dare insult me, you will regret this" Ragnarok said, as he came charge out of the rocks, sending a moderate speed but immensely powerful punch.

Miwa Ringo-Kuchiki

Miwa smiled as she was invited inside, after asking but still. "Well do you have any idea where your father may be? I could always go to him, may be a pleasant surprise~" She continued to smile as she listened to Kurisu speak, placing the Bento boxes on the nearest desk she saw. "I'm a concerned mother Kurisu. If they are not doing their jobs properly when protecting my family they'll have no choice but to deal with me." As Miwa spoke, the tone she used made her sound calm but strict since she was being deadly serious, but then her tone changed back to normal. "Ahh, assistant, of course. And Oh don't be silly ducky~ They wouldn't loose respect for you, if anything they'd gain respect from seeing how much you've change from being such a cute little baby to a handsome young man heheh~ But Okay, I won't embarrass you honey" Miwa took a look around the room, noticing that it was kept almost spotless if it weren't for the mess of papers on top of one of the desks. "Is this your work son?" Miwa walked over to the desk, picking up one of the papers before readjusting her glasses and starting to read. "What's this about honey?" She asked, still reading the paper.

Kurisu listened to his mothers question then spoke "I honestly have no idea...who knows what's going on inside his head..." Kurisu then rubbed the back of his head with his right hand then spoke "Captain Kuchiki and I are the strongest this Squad has to offer...we protect those that follow us and if we couldn't protect ourselves then we couldn't protect them. These men and women...you can trust them to fight by your side...you can put your life in their hands and they will not falter for a second, they are trained to do their job and if death is apart of that job then so be it...but one of the rules we have here is if your going to die then go down doing your job and fighting with everything your soul has to offer. Simple and cheesy..but it works..." Kurisu then heard what his mother said next which made his eyes narrow as he frowned, he then heard two Shinigami giggling outside the door, Kurisu turned and glared at them which caused them to freeze completely still as they stopped giggling "SHUT UP! So much as say a word about this and I'll cut your tongue from your mouth!" Kurisu then slammed the door shut and crossed his arms, still frowning "Well a lot has changed since then...and yes it is...I have to do all this paperwork for the Captain also. It's just stuff about the criminals we are currently holding and what their fates will be...and a few things about Squad members, nothing that important..."

Kagiko continued to examine the hollows then when Nene spoke it was interesting...they could listen to anyone however Kagiko had made sure of something, once Nene spoke the hollows did nothing, Kagiko then smiled and began speaking "I made sure they wouldn't listen to the commands of others and that is through something rather simple..." Kagiko then pulled out one of the tablets and held it between his index finger and thumb on his right hand "These tablets use some of my spiritual energy. it is impossible to crush them unless your pour a little spiritual energy into them, and once done they crumble like nothing...this is a procedure to make sure that the hollows only listen to the commands of the one who's spiritual energy was placed into the tablet, this of course means unless the enemy is me these hollows will not listen to them no matter what...Now. I have another thing I can work on with this...a nice little side project to keep me busy is always good...Now...Move north..." The hollows all got up and began walking away to the north, moving away from any and all civilization "Controlling hollow is now easier than ever...a shame not just anyone will get to use this invention. However allows us to also easily cut down the hollow count in the Seireitei to keep the balance...I guess we should make our way back, don't you think?"

Kaizo listened to Rio then nodded "I see. Well then come into my office Lieutenant." Kaizo walked to his door and opened it and held it open for Rio "After you Lieutenant" waiting till Rio entered Kaizo would follow behind then walk around to his desk and sit down behind it "Now. This new person. What of their skills? I trust your judgement to allow them to join is fair but what I must know is do you believe they have any potential to succeed? After all we need strong Shinigami in this Squad and if this person will show potential then we will both be training them to make sure they succeed here..."

Miwa Ringo-Kuchiki

"Hmm... Well, I guess I'll just wait until you both come home then..." Miwa kept her face away from Kurisu as she pouted, feeling a little upset that she wouldn't be able to surprise Kurisa, however she understood the importance of his job since he was a Captain after all.... Therefore she completely dismissed her plan to see him. "Whenever your father returns, make sure he gets his box. I'm guessing he'd be starving after whatever he's been doing so be sure that he eats it" Turning back to her son, Miwa replaced her pout with a smile to cover it up. "Well, I trust both your's and your father's judgement but no matter how strong they are or you both are, you can't expect me not to worry. After all, I know that you and your father both have incredible power and can take care of yourselves, but you're still my little boy and he's still my husband and your father, you both are still my family so I'm going to worry no matter what heh" Miwa's tone of voice was soft as she spoke while still smiling until she gained a shocked expression when Kurisu suddenly yelled at Shinigami outside before chuckling a little. She didn't say anything about it however, she just returned to reading Kurisu's work. "Ahhh, I see. Well, it looks and sounds like you're working really hard, I'm really proud of you son. I hope your father isn't being too hard on you" Miwa grinned before gently placing the piece of work back down onto the desk and turning her body towards Kurisu. [b]"Well, I think I've stayed for long enough so I'll let you get on with your work. Don't forget to make sure your father eats the box I made him and make sure you eat up too, you don't want it to get cold ducky heheheh~ I'll see you both at home" Miwa smiled before placing her hand on her lap and giving Kurisu a little bow out of respect to treat him more like a grown up than a child before walking over to the door.

Rio Okotaru Darishimo

Rio walked into Kaizo's office after he held the door open for her, reminding herself of the important points that she needed to bring up during the conversation. She stood in front of her Captain's desk and waited for him to take a seat and speak before speaking up herself. "Nohime possess great strength, resolve and potential which she had shown to me during her spar with another Shinigami, Eiichi Taichou... However, a problem arose, which I felt that we needed to discuss." Rio cleared her throat before continuing. "Indeed my decision for accepting her was made fairly, however it was also for the safety of others. While observing the spar between Nohime and Eiichi, the first thing I noticed was her reaction to her spar partner being male... At first she was extremely hesitant to fight him, cowering away if you will. But, once it came to the moment of actually beginning to fight, her persona changed to one of aggression. As a side note, she did tell me before-hand that her Zanpakuto was in the form of herself. Upon continuation of the spar, Nohime disregarded what I had said about not wanting them to turn the spar into a fight and how I only wanted to see some of her skills. She thus proceeded to try and harm Eiichi, in which I had spotted, however Eiichi was handling the situation well. I understand that I should of ended the spar much sooner than I did, that was my mistake and I'll accept responsibility and punishment for it if you see fit. Anyway, the second Eiichi feel to his knees from exhaustion, I immediately stepped in and was prepared to subdue Nohime... However upon seeing me, despite already launching for Eiichi, Nohime instantly ceased all action and returned to her previous state. I of course scolded her and after informing Eiichi to rest, which he ignored, I took Nohime to my quarters to discuss her situation and my analysis of the spar. It appears to me that she could be a threat to male Shinigami which was obviously brought to my attention as an important issue. You may be wondering why I had accepted her, the reason is simple, to keep her from harming any other male Shinigami within the Seireitei. If I did turn her away, the likeliness of gaining an unexpected and unjustified tragedy would be too great so in my efforts to make sure that is prevented, I decided that I'd like to train her personally to control herself or find her a suitable female mentor who understands her situation in order to ensure the safety of others. Of course you'd be training her also if you wish to keep her, but I'd like to be sure she'd be able to control herself around other male Shinigami, especially those within your Squad. I do not wish risk the life of any other Shinigami with this domain. On the other hand, I understand that this is not a decision for me to make and so I have also informed her that I will discuss her situation with you and that you have the final say in what happens. Whatever you choose, I will respect and follow. To summarise, that is the issue along with my thoughts. What is your decision on this matter Captain?" Rio bowed after speaking, raising while patiently waiting for the Captain's verdict. She had said all that she could, now it was up to the Captain on what to do next. Whether Rio agreed with him or not, she'd follow whatever the Captain decided.

Kagiko continued to examine the hollows then when Nene spoke it was interesting...they could listen to anyone however Kagiko had made sure of something, once Nene spoke the hollows did nothing, Kagiko then smiled and began speaking "I made sure they wouldn't listen to the commands of others and that is through something rather simple..." Kagiko then pulled out one of the tablets and held it between his index finger and thumb on his right hand "These tablets use some of my spiritual energy. it is impossible to crush them unless your pour a little spiritual energy into them, and once done they crumble like nothing...this is a procedure to make sure that the hollows only listen to the commands of the one who's spiritual energy was placed into the tablet, this of course means unless the enemy is me these hollows will not listen to them no matter what...Now.

However allows us to also easily cut down the hollow count in the Seireitei to keep the balance...I guess we should make our way back, don't you think?"

When the Hollows did nothing, Kagiko explained why, she stared at the tablet and smirked. Squad twelve truly was impressive, able to create such devices that are beyond simple to use and have wonderful uses, uses that benefit the Seireitei as a whole. with the tablet they did indeed cut the hollow count to make it more balanced. However, now that her idea was pretty much finished she would have to begin thinking of another idea that could be interesting and a benefit to the Soul society. When Kagiko suggested they go back she nodded. "Might as well, not really sure where we are, so staying here might be somewhat stupid for me to do."

"Back, boss!" Hikari heard Haruka call out which caused him to turn around, "Like I said, you don't have to address me like that. I honestly don't feel comfortable with being called boss, Lieutenant would be better," Hikari said as he rubbed the back of his neck again, something he seemed to do quite a bit. He looked at Hyperion then Haruka, "We'll be heading back to district 65, there was something there that caught my eye once I found that Tatsuki guy," Hikari said before looking at Hyperion, "Now, I think it's best if we move out now." Hikari then began walking off expecting those two to follow along.

Once at District 65 Hikari took the two to the warehouse where he found Tatsuki, he then looked at the floor before activating his Shikai. He tapped the floor then nodded, as he thought when Takeshi came at him, "Floor is hiding something underneath." Hikari then lifted his large Shikai and slammed down on the ground causing dust to fly everyone and causing the ground to shake. Without a word Hikari then jumped down the hole, landing in an underground lab in which people were building fake dogs. There were also locked up hollow.

"Ah, so this is where they've been coming from," Hikari said as some of the people down there began running towards a back door causing Hikari to point his Shikai forward, "Not so slow now.....Hōsui jū!" The water shot forward and made it's way past all the people running and shot into the door. A crater then formed blocking off the exit.

A(n) (Ex)Shinigami then walked up taking off it's glow, a green mist rising from his right hand. He began walking towards the three, "You dare destroy the evolution between Shinigami and Hollow? Well, I guess that means I'll just have to teach you a lesson."



"Safi there's a Lieutenant there," A woman said as she walked behind the man named Safi, "You're foolish to think you could take him alone, and with two others there."



"Let me take the Lieutenant, I'm the strongest here," A man said as he stepped forward smirking, "Safi you go after the scrub, Surin you the bitch."



"Got it Vahan," Surin and Safi said at the same time as they charged Hype and Haruka. Meanwhile Hikari and Vahan charged each other.

Haruka followed after the man with a smirk, "Heh. Your reaction to the nickname is kinda funny. That's why I call you Boss...Boss." she said before she began to follow the man.

She raised an eyebrow at the hole, but followed in anyway. She figured the lieutenant had a better idea than she did about what was going on. "'Not so slow now'?" she asked in amusement. "What's next? Go in your tracks? Run right there, you criminal?" she asked jokingly. She looked at the three unimpressed then looked at Hyperion with a smirk, "Does that you the scrub or the bitch?" She asked jokingly before she stood passively to allow her opponent to get closer.

Hyperion nodded at Hikari and followed him to their destination, where he made a hole in the ground which obviously sent dust everywhere. However he didn't expect a hole to some sort of lab to be there. As the other two jumped in Hyperion shrugged and jumped in as well, just in time to see Hikari block an exit. Hyperion took the time to look around the lab, it was truly a place that seemed like squad twelve, but couldn't hope to compare with. Three people soon came out, two male and one female, and while the enemy already decided who they were fighting, Haruka asked if that made him the scrub or bitch, which made him squint at her. "Did you just take the shot to call me a bitch?" Hyperion asked before he saw the mans fist aimed at his stomach, which landed and pushed Hype back. Hyperion looked down and saw a hole in his uniform where the man punched, plus some of his skin burned a bit. Hyperion looked up at the man as Hyperion gripped his zanpakuto. " Let them embrace your pain Avalon, shower them with despair Angelika, let them embrace their end." Hyperion's sword then vanished while his gauntlets grew in size.

Hyperion then shunpoed behind the man, who expected that and already turned around swinging his fist straight at Hyperion, this time however he blocked it with his gauntlets but as the man touched the gauntlets he would then get shocked, which Hyperion took the chance and rammed his right fist into the mans stomach pushing him back. As the man straightened out he would see three spots where blood leaked although the weren't deep. "I will only say sorry on this. Your defeat will be slow, and it will be painful." Hyperion spoke which seemed to angered the man who told him to shut up and then launched at Hyperion.

Ragnarok looked up as the large stones came crashing down onto him, standing still. Lahel quickly got on her feet, shunpoing back and evading the stones and metal bits flying towards. As she landed, one metal bit headed towards her head. Her eyes widened, not having enough time to shunpo back. But before it could hurt her, a black arm raised from her shadow and grabbed the piece of metal, absorbing it into it's skin. A wide grin formed on her shadow below "I had it covered" The shadow chuckled as it's grin faded away. Ragnarok said, as he came charge out of the rocks, sending a moderate speed but immensely powerful punch.

Aya watched as this shadow thing saved Lahel which made Aya clap even though it saved he, she then saw Ragnarok charge out of the rocks right after er swinging a pretty slow punch but backed by a ton of power. Aya however saw this and stood still and when the punch connected and sent her sprawling to the ground skidding along it, she jumped right back up rubbing her cheek. "Night strong, sad me kill." Aya said moving much faster doing the exact same thing, as she threw a punch, however hers was different, as hers had a metal gauntlet on her right fist with a giant spike right on it.

Gio quickly found himself finished and bored. so he went to the roof to laze. He still had enough time to train some more, even to take on another mission. He looked at the sky with loose interest. With everything thats going on, with everything thats happened, how did he find himself here. In just over a year he found himself th 3rd seat of squad 5. while intially he didnt really think much of the gotei 13 and only cared about the kido, he found himself enjoying his squad. The company of both squad 5 and the corps meant a lot to him. It was one of the driving forces. however it was a bitter sweet feeling. everything was made possible by the previous head captain. Gio suspected that soon enough the squad would come under investigation, or at the very least he would. As it was explained to him, the kido corps fell under the direct authority of the head captain until it was blended with squad 5. now it was still under the head captain but there was not an mediating entity. For the most part it was Gio. he had already questioned the members of the Kido corps, all were adamant that the previous head captain cared little for them, if at all. They expressed that they were only ever concern with their historic tasks and research's. Gio, given the state of things when he began his journey, was inclined to believe them. Once the Kido corp was an equal entity to the Gotei and the stealth force. Now the Gotei runs all of them, one way or another and the kido corps had deminished greatly.

"the new head captain was right" Gio said to himself "the seireitei has become weak. But even before that announcement, we were getting better. stronger. We have the farthest to go it feels like, but we will make it to the top. one way or another"

Ragnarok raised his hand, the giant spike piercing through his hand, yet he continued to move it until he could clench her fist. He skidded back a few meters but stopping eventually. He then gripped her fist tightly, leaving no room for escape as he squeezed harder, the metal cracking. He was aware this was a perfect moment for her to attack, but didn't care. He felt mocked and had enough [b]"You kill me? Child, you are centuries too early to kill me. You still fight the demon blood, accept it and allow it to consume your very soul. Only then will I consider you a threat. However, let us see how you do against a punch with three times the strength" Despite the numerous attacks Aya could or would of dealt, Ragnarok would pull her in and attempt to punch her in the face. He would hope she would give into his words and the blood that courses through her veins, or have her neck snapped. It didn't matter to him, all he seemed was a worthy opponent.
