3 Bleach Arc - 2

Khan was annoyed, Harribel and her Tres Bestias were awake, aware, but unable to move not after the beating he just gave them. The thing that was really annoying him was this hammerhead Hollow monologuing about how pathetic the girls are, and how after he killed Khan, he would have fun torturing them and making them beg for death, of course he said while Khan was still perfectly fine.

The idiot didn't even stop to think how Khan managed to disable a group of four close-knit, well-coordinated Hollows and not kill any of them. Khan decided to test if he could use two skills at once. It wasn't even funny, how easy it was to immobilize the hammerhead, the panic in his voice, as he struggled to move. Khan approached the hammerhead and used the Shadow Blade to split him from groin to grin. Harribel saw what happened and realized that Khan was seriously holding back.

[(Optional) Protect Harribel and the Tres Bestias (Completed) Reward - Harribel, Apacci, Mila Rose, and Sung-Sun's loyalty]

Harribel felt the need to ask, "You went easy on us, why?" Khan thought about then told her, "You were attacking me based on a misunderstanding, and I'm not a bully." Khan continued, "That idiot clearly had a grudge and I doubt he was the only one." Harribel had a look of acknowledgement in her eyes.

Khan gave a sigh then said, "look you clearly care about your... uh, friends so, I'll make you this deal with you, you and your friends serve me and follow my orders, in return I'll give you my protection and a chance to become stronger."

It was a crappy deal, one under normal circumstances Harribel would have rejected, but thanks to the reward Khan received, Harribel felt compelled to accept. All four of them gave their names and promised to call him boss. Khan checked Fate's Plan and saw that Ichigo and Uryu were just starting their hunting contest which would give him a perfect opportunity.

After giving Harribel and the Tres Bestias each a full restore Khan said, "Ladies we have a window of opportunity we're going to exploit and for that we're going to the living world. Apacci asked, "Uh, boss what's in the living world?" and Khan replied, "an item we can use to get stronger, for now just listen to what I say." and with that Khan opened a Garganta and everyone went inside.

After some time, they arrived in Karakura Town just in time to see Ichigo drive back the Gillian. Their presence was noticed immediately. Khan checked the area and spotted Rukia Kuchiki alone, then Khan said, "Apacci, Mila Rose, and Sung-Sun take this (hands over Soul Cleanser) and use it on that girl over there, the one with black hair and gray uniform, you can rough her up or knock her out, but you can't kill her." The Tres Bestias left on their assignment, Khan then pulled out the Soul Collector and activated it, it immediately disappeared and then a notice appeared.

[Notice the Soul Collector is now active; it will remain active in the area Karakura Town until a soul you accepted has been claimed then it will return to your inventory]

After telling everyone not to confront the Hollows, Kisuke Urahara appeared in front of Khan and Harribel. Urahara said, "Greetings, perhaps you would care to explain why big shots such as yourselves, would come to a place like this?" Khan was amused at the blunt attempt to get them to underestimate him, then said, "We are here to see you Kisuke Urahara former captain of squad 12."

Urahara bristled at the fact Khan already knew who he was. Khan continued, "we would like a gate to the Soul Society, now I know you are under no obligation to do that, but that Gillian as well as us showing up will have them asking questions and probably having somebody out here to thoroughly investigate." Urahara mulled over Khan's words as the Tres Bestias returned to Khan's side. Rukia had some bruises but was no worse for wear. The Soul Cleanser returned to the inventory alongside a notice.

[Notice the item Hogyoku (core) has been added to your inventory]

Khan then said, "look here's the deal you allow us to get to the Soul Society are mere presence there will cause a scene and they may forget about everything that happened here for a time, giving you the opportunity to hide anything you don't them to find."

Urahara expression completely hide what he was thinking, everything Khan said was correct to a point, but he was reluctant to just let them control the situation. Urahara then said, "alright I agree to your deal, on one condition an associate of mine guides you around, I don't want you dying before I can clean up this mess after all." Khan agreed and thought, 'definitely need to be cautious of this one, he's a genius after all.'

They went to Urahara's shop and made their way into the basement, then Urahara said, "you just wait here while I get everything set up and bring my associate up to speed."

Mila Rose asked, "can we really trust him boss?" to which Khan replied, "not even a little bit, but he is curious as to what are plans are, so he'll help for now." Khan decided to see what was available in the shop when he saw something, a skill called Shadow Reach - 4,000 BP, and Shadow Bind - 3,000 as well as Unseen Shadow - 4,000. Khan bought them then checked their capabilities.

[Shadow Reach (Active) manipulate your own shadow to physically interact with objects or people outside your normal reach

Shadow Bind (Active) use shadows to temporarily seal off people or an area

Unseen Shadow (Passive) keep yourself hidden from sensors or cameras (will not hide you or your Rashi from direct line of sight)]

Khan mused over the possibilities with this new skill, when a certain black cat showed up. The cat walked over to Urahara and he told her what's happening, then he waved over the Hollows over to his position. Urahara said, "This here is my associate Yoruichi they will guide you to your destination in the Soul Society." Apacci was about to make a comment, but Khan stopped her. Yoruichi then jumped on Khan's shoulder, Urahara opened the gate and Khan and his followers entered.

They walked down the tunnel Yoruichi kept looking around before Khan asked, "is there something wrong?" Yoruichi stiffened realizing what she was doing and said, "no let's keep moving." They eventually made it to the other end and the moment they were clear of the gate, the walls of the Seireitei came slamming down.

Yoruichi tried to convince them to go through the front gate, but Khan said, "No, we're going to need a flashy entrance one that's going to keep them on their toes." Yoruichi thought for moment then said, "I have a friend that might be able to help with that, follow me."

They followed Yoruichi through the slums until they got to an odd-looking house in outskirts. As they approached two men came out weapons drawn asking if Yoruichi was in trouble. Yoruichi told them no and asked for the master of the house, a few minutes later Kukaku Shiba stepped out, she looked at the Hollows then to Yoruichi and said, "You better have a good reason for bringing Hollows to my door Yoruichi."

Yoruichi explained what the reason was for her to bring Hollows to Kukaku's doorstep. Kukaku listen while twirling her pipe then said, " look Yoruichi you and I go way back, and I do owe you some favors, but this is a little much." Khan spoke up and asked, "would you be willing to trade for it then?" Kukaku snorted and said, "what could you possibly offer that would make the trouble this would cause worth it?"

Khan said, "information on Kaien Shiba, who isn't dead." That got Kukaku's attention after mulling over what Khan just said, she then said, "I want proof." and Khan replied, "it can only be found in Hueco Mundo and we're not going there until are own business here is completed."

Kukaku thought about it for a moment then said, "fine I have business in the Seireitei anyway, so I'll be going with you, and if I find out you're lying to me I'll kill you myself." Kukaku then told them that they would have everything set up in the morning.
