After everything that had happened with Rio, Kaizo had made his way to the shack where he first met her, he arrived outside of the shack and looked at it then dropped his head slightly and sighed "Well I clearly took that wrong..." Kaizo looked up to the shack seeing it almost all fixed up...it however missed quite a lot at the same time. "We continue to grow yet we never go anywhere...no one notices us, what we do...at this rate...I feel like I'll be unseated forever..." at that point a cloaked man stepped out from the shadows of the tree's and into the light of the moon, this caused Kaizo to grip his Zanpakuto's hilt and turn to the man, ready to attack "Perhaps you need some help Kaizo..." When the man said his name it made Kaizo's eyes widen but he quickly narrowed them and unsheathed his Zanpakuto then spoke "Who the hell are you and how do you know my name?" The cloaked man stopped a bit away from Kaizo, his arms were by his side and the hood up on his cloak "I know everyone's name, I know everything about everyone...I know you're strong...to strong for an unseated Shinigami, even I would struggle if I fought you...however I'm not here to fight you, I'm here to help you, help you get noticed that is..." Kaizo looked at the man, his face was blocked out by the shadow from his hood which made it hard to make out any sort of facial features "How would you do that then huh? What you got connections within the Gotei 13 or something? or would it be that your trying to lure me into something you need to test?" The cloaked man then raised his hands after hearing what Kaizo said and began to clap his hands "Congratulations you figured me out...or my intentions anyway...but what is it that I need to test Kaizo?...When I said even I'd struggle against you...I was only half telling the truth. I would indeed have an issue with fighting you...if I wasn't already prepared...so...are you going to allow me to do what I need to do? or are you going to make this difficult and humiliate yourself?" Kaizo grit his teeth then his Zanpakuto began to glow as he tore it in two releasing a large explosion which caused the man to disappear and appear a bit back, out of it's blast radius. The hut Kaizo had worked so hard on was torn down to just the planks of wood it was built out of, Dust kicked up into the air as Kaizo then shot out of it flying towards the man aiming to punch him with his right fist. As Kaizo got close to the cloaked man. the man disappeared and appeared infront of Kaizo, his left knee rammed into Kaizo's gut then his left palm slammed into Kaizo's face and sent him flying back as he was thrown through the air. Kaizo flipped in the air and slid across the ground, his right knee rested on the ground as he then pushed himself up to his feet "Not bad...but let's see you do the same in a different situation!" Kaizo's body then ignited with flames, only his head and hair were not alight. He then shunpoed towards the man once again then appeared infront of him, his body low as he went throw his right fist up into the mans gut only for it to be caught by the mans left hand, which caused Kaizo's eyes to widen then the flames around his body dispersed, a ringing sound was then heard which caused Kaizo to break out of the mans grip and Shunpo into the air What the hell happened there? how did he catch that punch and not even receive a burn? more to the point...how did he extinguish my flames? Kaizo tried to coat his body in flames once again only to have no luck, Kaizo then noticed the man appear infront of him, his right palm pointing at Kaizo as a light shot out from his sleeve and narrowly cut Kaizo's left shoulder as he twisted his body to avoid further damage however the light that had shot at Kaizo disappeared in an instant and the very same light then pierced his right shoulder and disappeared once again, the man then aimed his left palm at Kaizo as what looked like a Hado fired out at him and engulfed him as it sent Kaizo crashing into the ground followed by a large explosion.
The man then dropped down to the ground near where Kaizo laid. Dust was everywhere but what could easily be seen was the large crater the Hado had formed and right in the center of it Kaizo laid there covered by rubble, the man stepped down into the crater as the dust slowly settled "Do you get it? you cannot defeat me Kaizo...you're strong...but not that strong..." Kaizo didn't move or react at all to what the man said even once the man was next to him and standing over his seemingly lifeless body he didn't react "Best end this now..." the man then pulled something out of his cloak and knelt down next to Kaizo then went to stab whatever he had pulled out into Kaizo only to have his wrist caught by Kaizo stopping him from moving it "W-What!?" the man looked at Kaizo's face as his eyes shot open and a grin formed on his face, Kaizo then gripped harder on the mans wrist causing a cracking sound to emit from it, this caused them to aim his left palm at Kaizo and fire off another quick Hado of some sort allowing him to break free and disappear then re-appear a bit back holding his right wrist with his left hand "What the hell did you do!? How the hell is this possible? your spiritual energ-" Kaizo then appeared infront of the man, just to his right however, his body still smoking "Grow larger? Let me show you how.." Kaizo's right fist slammed into the mans face and sent him flying through the air then sent him into the ground as he skid across it but he soon flipped up to his feet only to have Kaizo appear behind him and slam the top of his right foot into the side of the mans head sending him flying through a few tree's.
The man flipped through the air a few times before landing on his feet and sliding back, the trunks of the tree's he hit fell and through them he saw Kaizo standing there grinning "What the hell is this? he just got faster...a lot faster...I can barely see him" Kaizo then disappeared from the mans view once again and appeared behind him, the man then twisted as light shot out from his right sleeve and arced around as he twisted aiming to cut Kaizo in two only for it to be stopped by kaizo as he raised his left hand and let the light his his Shikai "I guess you don't have me as figured out as you thought..." Kaizo then smashed his right fist into the mans face once again however this time the man didn't go flying he just took the punch and stood there "Hmm?" The man pushed his head back a bit more to look directly at Kaizo, his hood still remained up but his piercing left red eye could be seen "I have you figured out...it's you who has failed to figure me out..." Kaizo then noticed the light that had shot out from the mans sleeve had gone then he felt something pierce through his chest which caused his head to shakily turn to look down at the light through his chest "H-huh?" the light then retracted from Kaizo's chest causing him to fall down to his knee's his eyes widened still from where he had been stabbed "It's good when you feel like you can beat someone isn't it?...I was glad I saw that..." the man then grabbed his right wrist with his left hand and cracked it once again to show it working as good as normal, the man then turned away and began to walk off "Y-you..." Kaizo then fell forward onto the ground as he passed out, his body had become painful and heavy and it just became to much for him to handle causing him to pass out.
(DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN. I don't know I felt this was shitty but whatever....it's some small development for Kaizo...)
