Chapter 41: Bounts Final Act

"Are you sure?"

I had gave Captain-Commander Yamamoto the information on the Bounts. He didn't seemed to be quite pleased with what he had heard.

"Yes, and I assume they plan to use one of Ichigos friends"

"Is he assisting them?"

"Not by choice, they attend to use his powers to open a doorway here" I explained

The Captain-Commander stayed quiet, as it seemed a thought struck him.

"Send all Vice-Captains with squads, tell them to keep a perimeter around the-"

Boom!

In the far distance a bright explosion was seen.

"It seems we'll have to improvise" I noted as he raced out the office

Divison 9

"Captain Hatake! What's wrong!?" Shuhei asked ad began to walk with me

"Bounts have infiltrated the Soul Society we must get to them before this gets out of hand" I answered

As I entered the barracks my subordinates began to prepare.

"Okay listen up! We have intruders in the Soul Society! You'll be under the leadership of any Vice-Captain! Don't confront them signal a Vice-Captains bear you! Understood!?" I announced

"Yes sir!"

Everyone began to move flooding out the Division 9 courtyard. Shuhei and I stood watching them scatter.

"You too Shuhei"

"What?"

"Don't engage unless you're confident you can win" I answered

Narrowing his eyes he nodded then left without word.

Sounds of Soul Reapers flooding the entire Seireitei. Each squad kept strong formations at all entrances. Keeping a close watch as the operations unfolded.

"Busy night" Captain Shunsui commented

"Seems like it"

We both watched the squads as the streets were black with the number of Soul Reapers. The day had gone by an hour already as a report of a Bount being defeated by Rukia. Though there were a few others still out there.

"Captain!"

"Yes? What's wrong?" I asked

"Bounts have breached the Seireitei!" My subordinate answered

"What? How?"

"Unknown, but we've been unable to find them"

"Well try, we need to stop them" I ordered

He nodded and ran off

"Well I better go tell the old man" Captain Shunsui said leaving quickly

I returned to my view as I couldn't see any of the fighting. It was then a presence was felt behind me. I turned to see man with a red eyes, white hair, and fangs. A large symbol covered most of his chest.

"Who might you be?" I said

"I am Jin Kariya, the one who survived all those years ago" he answered

My eye narrowed, as I moved my hand near my sword. He this as a green aura glowed around him. In one swift movement we clashed, my blade meeting his glowing aura. Kariya pushed in an attempt to overpower me. Using my power I launched away from myself. Skidding across a grin adorned his face as I didn't give him time to recover.

"You're pretty strong"

I didn't respond as I attempt to overpower load his Doll. Parrying my blade he moved passed me and sent a large blast of air. Flashing away he caught me with a strike just barely able to block it. Again flashing behind him attempting to slash him, he blocked it. The force repelled us away from each other.

"Windstanz"

The wind began to slowly pick up looking to the sky. Seeing as massive tornadoes came down, flashing out of their way. The attacks were constant, as one came towards me I deflected it with my blade.

"So this is the power of a Captain?" Kariya asked with interest

I glared as he raised his hand up, and brought it down.

"Wind Lich Shneide"

Three slashes of wind flew moving out the way quickly. Kariya threw a barrage of wind slashes, dodging each as it came.

"I finally avenge my kin those you killed along with the Quincy!" He shouted

"I'm sorry, but you all were just too dangerous to be let to yourselves" I responded

He gritted his teeth sending another barrage of wind slashes. Dodging them once again.

"Windstanz"

An aimed tornado had caught me, striking at the perfect moment. Smoke covered the area he stood with a satisfying smile. Before he could a flash off caught his eye, I stood in front of him slashing his chest. Jumping away from me. Holding his chest as the blood poured out, looking down at his wound.

"Don't let down your guard" I advised

Kariya grinned as his hand formed into a steel symbol.

"Lighting Blade"

His winds began to condense into lighting. Charging our blades clashed once again, Kariya then parried my blade as moved back to attack. He blocked the thrust and tried to slash at my face. Ducking in time cutting his side as I did. Growling he spun attempting another slash as back stepped to dodge. Flashing behind him causing another cut with my blade. Trying to cut me I flashed again, then multiple times making all kinds of wounds to his body. Putting him on his hands and knees. I stood above him as he began to bleed out.

"You shouldn't have come here" I advised

"Why not? I will avenge my kin" he grinned

I stared at him seeing what had gone wrong. Kariya began to laugh and glow green.

"I will not go quietly!" He shouted as he self destruct his doll within

A bright flash of green shot into the sky. Followed by an explosion dust and smoke blanketed the area. I dusted myself off and rose.

"Captain Hatake!" Vice-Captain Shuhei shouted

"I'm alright" I said as came into view

"What happened?"

"Kariya is dead"

He stood quiet as the words left my mouth.

"All the other Bounts have been neutralized" he added

"So no more Bounts"

AN: yes I know this chapter sucks, but someone said that the Bount arc was interesting and after writing this I was convinced. No more fillers though.
