Nine Shinigami stood inside the Squad 5 barracks, eight facing one. The time had finally come for them to remove the annoying show-off who had betrayed their Captain. Shion stood alone as the others attacked one by one, each doing significant damage, though she gave as good as she got. The rest of those who stood with the Lieutenant were off fighting in a bigger battle; there was nobody to save her as the other Soul Reapers continued their assault.
Finally, Shion fell to the ground, her wounds overtaking her. Damn... I guess this is it then... Looks like I couldn't save the Captain after all...
Suddenly, she heard a voice like static inside her head. D̷̡̧͢͝o͢͟͏ ̡͢͝y҉͏ó͜͡ų̶.̷̵̢̛͏.͏͏̛́.̶͝ ̶̶́҉w҉͘͠͏i̴̛͝s͏̢h̷̛͠ ̛́t̸o̸̵͘͜͟ ̶̢͢l̴̛̀͢͡í̷͞v̧̧͜͠҉e̶?҉
What? What was that voice? Did she wish to live? What kind of question is that? Of course I do! I have to bring the Captain back! I have to survive!
The static came again. T͜͟͟͏ḩ̨͝͏è͠n͞͏͏̸͟ ̸̀c̷̕͡͞a̸͘͜͜l̛l͢͞͏̀͘.̸́͝.̡̢͟͢.̶̸́͜ ̀m̷̡̡̛҉y͟҉̢͞ ̛҉ņ̴a͏m̵̛̛͘͡e̴̡̨.̴̢̧͟.͏̷̕͢.͏̀
Something in Shion's mind clicked and she slowly raised herself up, supporting her weight with her Zanpakuto. The others simply laughed, what was the point in continuing fighting? They'd simply crush her and move on to the next batch. If they kept together and fought enemies one by one, they'd be able to beat even seated members if they were careful. Shion's voice came harsh and forced. "Flash." In an instant she disappeared, even her spiritual presence was gone. "Kireikage." Her voice came from behind the furthest away Reaper, who suddenly fell over as Shion's presence was sensed by the other seven. She had moved so fast that she had practically disappeared! How was that even possible!?
As soon as the sensation of her presence appeared, it disappeared again along with Shion herself, only to once again reappear behind one of the other Shinigami. With a singular stab to the heart, she fell down as well. Shion quickly dispatched of the rest in a similar manner before falling to the ground herself, exhausted. The earlier fight had drained her stamina and she needed to rest. But as soon as she recovered, she was going to find the Captain and bring her back to the side of the Seireitei, she swore it.
After resting for a few minutes, she stood up and began walking towards the sound of the nearest battle. By the end of the night, she'd have claimed the lives of 51 of her fellow Soul Reapers in a similar fashion, most of which were from her own squad.
