Chapter 2

Byakuya was preparing to leave the Division along with his Lieutenant. Rin was seated just outside the door and leaning against the wall, sleeping peacefully. She had fallen asleep and remained there all afternoon after leaving the office. Since no one had the guts to wake her up, she was allowed to stay there. She mumbled when Byakuya nudged her with his foot.

“Go away... I'm comfortable...” The woman sighed deeply. Byakuya was about to pick her up when a Hell Butterfly floated over to deliver a message. Rin's eyes snapped opened while the two men blinked in surprise.

“An emergency meeting?” Renji said in disbelief. He turned to Byakuya and Rin, who was now on her feet. “Captain?!” The man nodded.

“Let us go,” he said before all three disappeared.

Rin and Byakuya walked side by side towards the other Captains with their Lieutenants following behind them. The woman yawned and stretched her arms above her head.

“Dammit, why the hell are we on Soukyoku? That stupid old geezer... And so late at night, what the hell is his problem? Aren't old guys supposed to have early bedtimes, or something?” She huffed. “At least it's warm enough for comfort out here.”

“Not for all of us,” Aika muttered, rubbing her arms, when Rin and Byakuya neared. Rin snorted.

“It's not even that cold.”

“Easy for you to say, Rin, you have your own built in heater,” Daisuke said, appearing beside her with Hisagi, his own Lieutenant, nearby. She shrugged as they joined the other Captains. That's when Toshiro appeared with Rangiku.

“Ukitake! What's happened? Why are we here?” He asked, walking over to the sickly Captain.

“I don't know,” the other replied seriously. “No one's heard anything about this meeting. And...”

“And?” Toshiro said, urging him on.

“Huh? Kuchiki?” Rangiku suddenly spoke up, interrupting the exchange between the white haired Captains. Rukia turned upon hearing the other woman. “Were you summoned here too?”

“Yes,” the small woman replied. “I'm not sure why, but I received a summons...”

“Perhaps this meeting involves the shinigami daiko? It would explain your presence,” Rin suggested, walking over. “Though, I don't see what's so important that we have to be brought here so late. I was having a good dream...”

“Doesn't explain why we're here,” Ikkaku spoke up. Just behind him was Yumichika. “Because we weren't summoned as representatives for our Captain.”

“Yeah, speaking of that, where the hell is Zaraki? Not that I'm complaining about his absence, but still,” Rin muttered.

“Both our Captain and Lieutenant are out at the moment,” Yumichika answered. “So we're the only ones that can attend the meeting, anyways.”

“Hm? Where'd they go?” Shunsui drawled lazily, fixing his hat as he spoke.

“Dunno. They always do this,” the fifth seat replied, shrugging, indifferently.

“Oi! Why the hell are we here?!” The sudden yelling made everyone look up. It was Ichiami, with Katsu following close behind him.

“Don't yell, stupid. We can hear you just fine, even if we don't want to,” Rin growled irritably.

“That's so mean, Rin-chan!” Ichiami whined, reaching for the woman as if he were going to embrace her. He was stopped when Ikkaku tripped him and stepped on his back, pinning him to the ground.

“Shut the hell up, ya damn wuss!” The man snapped as comical tears ran down the others face.

“So mean...” The fourth seat moaned.

“So noisy,” Kurotsuchi said, just as annoyed by the man's loud entrance. “And for Zaraki to leave at a time like this! Why do you think the Head-Captain summoned us?”

“If you're so smart, then shouldn't you know?” Rin growled.

“I am a genius, but I still lack the ability to see the future,” the painted man retorted.

Everyone went oddly quiet, subdued by the fog that had suddenly begun to obscure the surrounding area. Even Rin held her tongue as they listened to the creaking from the rope bridge that led to the tower. Footsteps announced the arrival of what everyone assumed to be the Head-Captain. They couldn't be sure, however, because the mist prevented them from seeing anything.

Suddenly, the fog cleared abruptly and everyone turned when they heard lurching footsteps behind them. It was the Squad 1 Lieutenant, Sasakibe Chojiro. He reached out with one hand as he staggered to a halt.

“Lieutenant Sasakibe, what's going on?” Kira Izuru asked. He was the Lieutenant of Squad 3. “Where is the Head-Captain?”

Everyone's eyes widened when the Lieutenant fell forward, crying out in pain. Momo, Izuru, and Hisagi rushed over, slightly panicked. Omaeda turned to Soi-Fon. He was already in a bad state.

“C-Captain!” He said, awaiting orders.

“Do not let the slightest aura slip by,” the small Captain said, getting into a battle stance and resting one hand on the hilt of her zanpakuto.

Rin watched with an indifferent countenance as Isane and Unohana knelt beside the fallen Lieutenant. Around them, a few Captains and Lieutenants stood guard.

“He's gone into cardiac arrest!” Isane exclaimed. “This is bad...”

“Cast a resuscitation spell immediately!” Her Captain ordered. Suddenly, Rin spun around, her hands reaching for her weapons. A figure stood behind them. It let out a single laugh. It was a man, intricately dressed with heavy make up around his eyes that resembled a racoon.

“Your Head-Captain won't be joining us,” he informed them. Toshiro's eyes narrowed.

“Who the hell are you?” He demanded. Rangiku and the two Squad 13 third seats appeared in front of Toshiro and Ukitake, who were the closest to the stranger. They had their hands on their weapons, ready for battle.

Rin stepped forward to stand between the two white haired Captains. That's when Komamura suddenly appeared before the stranger, casting a long shadow over him. The intruder merely smiled at the wolf man, completely unfazed.

“You said the Head-Captain wasn't coming?” He growled. “Scum! What have you done to Genryuusai-dono?!”

When the other said nothing, Komamura's eyes narrowed. “No answer? Then I will force one out of you!”

“Son of a bitch,” Rin muttered when her fellow Captain drew his sword. “If he kills that damn raccoon face, we'll get nothing in the form of answers.”

She watched as Komamura swung, only for the intruder to back flip, dodging the attack completely. It was enough to bring him almost to the tip of Soukyoku hill. When the man held out his hand, everyone covered their faces to protect themselves from the dust stirred up by the power.

“Bankai!” The wolf man howled, red reiatsu glowing all around him. “Kokujou Tengen Myou-ou!”

Behind him rose a huge giant. The intruder still showed no signs of fear. “You will tell me where Genryuusai-dono is!”

“That attack won't hurt me,” the stranger drawled, his hands in his pockets.

“Cocky bastard,” Rin snarled, folding her arms over her chest. “Just who does he think he is, challenging all of the Captains from Gotei 13?!”

“Silence, Rin,” Byakuya warned the woman. “Now is not the time to be judging your enemy on appearance alone.” Suddenly, Ukitake stepped forward, pointing.

“Look out!” He yelled just before the giant's sword slammed down on its owner. Everyone stared, absolutely dumbfounded by the sudden change of events.

“What just happened?” Aika murmured, coming up between Rin and Toshiro, who were just as shocked.

“His zanpakuto... Just attacked its master?” Rin hissed, turning to stare at Byakuya with wide eyes. He showed no signs of shock, however.

“Now isn't this fascinating?” Kurotsuchi said nearby, not concerned at all for his fellow Captain's safety. Fortunately, Komamura seemed mostly uninjured and was already pulling himself to his feet. A gust of wind swept across the hill from behind, carrying with it an ominous feeling. Rin's head snapped to the side, searching.

“No... That can't be right,” she snarled, her eyes narrowing. What was that reiatsu she just felt? It was so familiar... When her gaze returned to the 7^th Captain, she was surprised to see a red skinned figure standing before him.

“Who in the blazes are you?!” He growled as he stood. The thing was even taller than the wolf man. Suddenly, his eyes widened.

“Are you Tengen-?!” Just then, the figure attacked. It quickly escalated into a full blown fight between the two, ending with the red giant slicing open his opponent. Shocked, Rin stepped forward, beginning to draw her weapons as if she intended to attack. Toshiro leapt forward before she could do anything.

“Reign over the frosted heavens, Hyourinmaru!”

“Idiot! If Komamura's zanpakuto turned on him, what makes him think that his won't as well?!” Rin hissed in irritation at the young Captain's brash actions. But it was too late, for other Captains were also releasing their zanpakuto. Their efforts were in vain, for they were unable to release them at all. Aika stepped forward when Toshiro stopped mid lunge, staring at his weapon.

“What-?!” She exclaimed.

“That must mean...” Rin drew her two swords. “Rain down the fires of hell, Futago Akuma!” Nothing. Not even one pistol manifested. The woman's eyes widened. “You, too, Futago?”

“I can't feel any reiatsu in my zanpakuto at all!” Renji exclaimed, taken aback.

“Jinsoku... Why?” Even Aika had drawn her weapon. She stared down at the blade in disbelief.

“It is simple,” the stranger spoke, catching everyone's attention. “Your zanpakuto are no longer with you. I freed them from their shinigami masters.”

“Is that even possible?!” Rin snarled, walking towards the man with her weapons clenched tightly in her fists. She pointed the one in her left hand at him. “What have you done with Futago and Akuma!”

He didn't answer. Instead, he swept his arm to the side. As if on cue, four explosions went off in the city below them.

*~*~*~*

Shinigami ran everywhere, desperately trying to put out the fires from the sudden explosions. Everyone stopped cold when they heard maniacal laughter from the building that was on fire. From of the flames, two figures stepped forward.

One was darker than the darkest shadow, the other whiter than sun reflecting off snow. The first, the female, was the one laughing. She had short hair that curled outwards. She had large, sharp, curved horns on her head. Over top her chest was a tight band of red fabric. She wore a long skirt with slits in the top that revealed a good portion of her hips and thighs. It was held with a red sash. She wore normal red flats.

Her partner was pure white with very short, slightly unkempt hair. He had a blue halo above his head resembling that of an angel. He wore a light blue scarf around his shoulders that was pulled up to cover his mouth and nose, hiding his expression. He also wore light blue, capris-like pants that were loose and held with the same coloured sash. For shoes, he wore sandals with straps that went up his legs, disappearing beneath his pants.

“Ha, ha! So long I've waited to do this without that bitch's interference!” The woman cried, planting her hands on her hips. Her bat-like wings twitching from her laughter. Her partner narrowed his eyes, but did not reply.

“Who the hell are they?!”

“Look, that one has Captain Asaje's weapon! What have you done with our Captain?!”

“Eh?! Don't you fools know?! These are our weapons, that bitch stole them from us!!!” With that, they both leapt down, slicing open any shinigami that came near. Screams of pain and terror ripped through the night, only bringing more shinigami to their doom.

“How gruesome. What is it about blood and guts that gets you men so riled up...?” A dragon stepped out of the shadows, her green eyes glinting in the moonlight. Her scales were a deep red and smoke drifted lazily out of her nostrils, burning the area around it and leaving only bone. Her tail was burning as well, leaving only bone with multiple spikes poking out. The only thing that covered her was a ripped, sleeveless top that exposed her stomach and a just as ragged short skirt.

“Oi! Who are you calling a man?!” The shadowy figure snarled, pausing and stomping over to the other spirit. Her partner watched from nearby, a bored expression on his face.

“You, Akuma. Or were you not listening as I spoke?” The other replied delicately, her voice distinctly feminine.

“You... I'll kill you next, Ryu Kiba!” Akuma snarled, trembling with rage.

“As if. You can barely manage these shinigami here,” Ryu Kiba hissed, slipping past her ally and throwing herself into the fray.

“Akuma, he is calling us...” The white figure murmured, padding up behind his partner.

“Why do we have to listen to that bastard, Futago?” Akuma snarled, rounding on the other.

“He is the one who freed us. It is a debt that needs to be repaid,” Futago replied. They disappeared to heed the call.

*~*~*~*

Aika's eyes widened when she saw Jinsoku Koshi among the zanpakuto gathering beside the intruder.

“Jinsoku Koshi!” She yelled, catching the spirit's attention. He looked at her with rage in his eyes. Like the other zanpakuto, he, too, had his own human form. His crackling mane of electricity nearly touched the ground. Two kirin horns curled back from his forehead, and his eyes glowed white with power. Iridescent blue scales trailed down the tops of his arms and shoulders, as well as his back. Rather than human feet, he had cloven hooves. His tail, which whipped about in constant motion, had the same blue scales running along its length. The tuft at the end crackled with electricity. A white pair of flowing draw-string pants were all that covered his lower half. Byakuya walked forward, his eyes narrowed.

“Who on earth are you?” Byakuya asked while walking forward. His gaze was fixed on his own Senbonzakura.

“My name is Muramasa,” the stranger replied. “Tonight will bring the end of shinigami rule. From now on, the zanpakuto will rule over their shinigami, instead!”

At that, he summoned his own sword and slammed it into the earth. Lines of power ran through the ground, crumbling it beneath the very feet of the Captains and Lieutenants. The rock rose up placing a wall between them and their zanpakuto.

Rin's eyes widened when the dust cleared, revealing many zanpakuto on top of that wall. Her own zanpakuto were absent, however. Off on another task, she assumed. Her eyes narrowed and she glanced at Byakuya.

“I suggest you prepare yourself for a fight, Rin,” he warned, grabbing his sword and drawing it.
