3/3

Aizen let out a sigh and shook his head in disappointment. "I see. That's too bad." He then went on continuing his explanation. "Well, where was I? Oh, right. I discovered that Urahara Kisuke planned to embed the Hogyoku inside a soul and I knew that there were only two ways to remove an item that has been treated this way. The first method is to use intense thermal disruption like the Sokyoku to completely evaporate the soul surrounding the foreign object inside. As for the second method, one needs to somehow disrupt the composition of the soul that will forcefully separate the object from it. I had guessed that this method laid within the past research methods of Urahara Kisuke. If he could implant an object inside the soul then surely he had devised a method to remove it. The reason why I had Kuchiki Rukia and Hinamori remain in Karakura Town for an extra two months was precisely because I was still searching for that method. You see, I was never planning on using the Sokyoku as the method of extraction in the first place."

Kishin furrowed his brow in confusion, however he soon widened his eyes in understanding as he recalled that Aizen kept telling him how he had already won during their fight. "It...you...since when?"

Aizen grinned and commented, "I see you've realized it. Correct. I told you before did I not? That I've already won. After discovering what method Urahara Kisuke was going to use to hide the Hogyoku I decided to kill off Central 46 just prior to sending Kuchiki Rukia and Hinamori Momo to the World of the Living. Then, after I confirmed that Urahara implanted the Hogyoku in Hinamori I searched for the method of extracting a foreign object from the soul in the Daireishokairo...and I found it. Hidden within his sealed away research files. After having the method in my hands," he glanced at Byakuya's haggard form nearby and continued, "I sent Captain Kuchiki and Lieutenant Abarai to retrieve the criminals."

Kishin grit his teeth and asked, "And the reason why I was sent later to retrieve Rukia?"

"Heh. I was merely wondering what your reaction would be. That's all. In fact I was quite impressed. To think that you were able to hold back all this time and not make any large waves to move against me the entire time in fear of what I would do to your precious friends and beloved. I commend you for your self-restraint."

"You bastard…"

"Ohya? Angry are you? Everything has been in my control from the very beginning, Chigetsu-kun. I hope you do not feel frustrated. After all, did you really think that you or anyone else could actually have been able to hinder or stop my plans from coming to fruition? I, who have had my eyes on the Hogyoku for over 100 years? Of course not. It's no surprise that you all lost."

Kishin clicked his tongue in annoyance and asked, "Then the Sokyoku? Why go through with it? And the Hogyoku...when the hell did you take it?"

"Heh. The moment that Captain Kuchiki and Lieutenant Abarai stepped foot back into Soul Society through the Senkaimon with Hinamori in tow, I had already released my Kyoka Suigetsu in that area. It was not difficult to make them believe that they were taking the prisoner away. Taking the Hogyoku from within Hinamori's soul took but only a few moments. I promptly returned her to their side after I was done without anyone ever realizing that she was gone. As for the Sokyoku? It served two purposes. The first was that I had hoped to kill Hinamori this way. It would be quick and painless. As I had trained her to not be able to live without me, I found that it would be quite merciful to kill her in this way. Don't you think so as well? It would grant her liberation from suffering in a world without me. As for the second, I was simply curious as to how you all would react. I wanted to see exactly what you all had planned in order to prevent me from obtaining the Hogyoku." He glanced at Ichigo on the ground before continuing, "I also wished to observe your growth, Ryoka boy. I must say, you did quite well considering how little time you had to grow into your power. Though I regret not being able to watch your fight against Captain Kuchiki due to someone's timely interference. Now the-"

FWISH! FWISH! FWISH! FWISH! FWISH!

Aizen's sentence was cut short as the sound of the other Captains and Lieutenants arriving on the Sokyoku Hill appeared one after the other. It wasn't long before nearly all Captains and Lieutenants of the Gotei 13 were present. The only one's missing were those from the 4th, 11th and 12th divisions.

Aizen smirked and took in the sight of everyone surrounding him. "My my. What a showing." He turned to see Yoruichi nearby and commented, "Ah, it's been quite a long time since we've last met, Shihoin Yoruichi, however you don't seem too pleased to see me again."

Yoruichi furrowed her brow and responded, "Aizen. You bastard. How long have you been watching us?"

"Us? I see. You are referring to Urahara Kisuke and yourself I presume. I believe your question should be reworded to when have I not been keeping watch?"

"Tch. Continue to gloat all you want. You may seem confident, however there is nowhere left for you to run. Regardless of the power of your Kyoka Suigetsu."

Aizen let out a slight laugh causing Yoruichi to frown. "What's so funny?"

"Ah, nothing. Everything that has happened thus far was quite entertaining. I applaud everyone's efforts even though they mattered not in the end."

Kira who was also present turned to look at Gin with a complicated and pained expression in his eyes as he felt completely betrayed. "C-Captain Ichimaru...it's not true right? You haven't joined Aizen. You're only pretending right?"

Gin's facial expression remained indifferent as he started to walk forward to respond, however he never got as far as one single step before he was held in place from behind with a sword held to his neck.

"Don't move." A feminine voice said from behind him.

Gin slightly frowned and remained completely still. "Rangiku…"

Her face scrunched up a bit as she struggled to fight her confused emotions. "Gin…" She softly spoke his name. It almost seemed as if she had hoped she was currently in a dream. That this was all a bad nightmare and that she would wake up from it at any moment, however it didn't happen.

Even with his eyes closed Gin could see the pained expression deep within her. His heart rate quickened just slightly in guilt knowing that he was hurting her, but he resolved himself to continue through with his own plans. He slightly turned his head towards Kishin recalling what they once discussed. The fight that he witnessed of Kishin against Aizen played back in his mind causing him to ponder if he was making the right decision.

Tosen was also currently held captive by Hisagi at this moment and Komamura who had been somewhat healed by Unohana glared at the defected 9th division Captain. "Tosen! Explain yourself! Is this the justice that you spoke of?"

BAM!

Before anyone could make any more fuss of the situation the sound of Yamamoto slamming his cane into the ground caught everyone's attention. He slowly opened his eyes glaring with indifference at Aizen, Gin, and Tosen. "Aizen Sosuke. Ichimaru Gin. Tosen Kaname. This is as far as you go. To think that three Captains of the Gotei 13 are responsible for bringing chaos to the Soul Society. To murder the Central 46 Chamber and impersonating them to then be so brazen as to drag the entirety of the Gotei 13 into a sinister plot."

Aizen smirked and turned to stare at the old elderly Captain. "Ah, Head Captain Yamamoto. Thank you for your short but concise summary, however you've been informed of the truth far too late."

"Silence! Your actions are unforgivable. You shall be executed immediately."

"Heh." Aizen closed his eyes and smiled complacently.

"You can still act calm in this situation? It seems you haven't realized exactly what kind of position you're currently in." Soi Fon cooly remarked.

Aizen remained completely unperturbed and calmly responded, "I don't realize what position I'm in? No. It's quite the opposite, Captain Soi Fon. It is meaningless even with all of you here."

"What are you talking about?" Soi Fon narrowed her eyes with a hint of caution.

"You'll understand in a moment. It is time after all."

FWOOM!

"UH?!" Rangiku and Hisagi immediately dashed back as a yellow rectangular light fell from the sky enveloping the three traitorous Captains inside. As everyone's eyes followed the trail of light their eyes wavered for just a moment as they took in the sight in the sky. There was a giant Garganta opened above the clouds with tens of Gillians inside of it, but what made everyone feel shocked was the mysterious giant purple colored eye that was hidden deep in the darkness of that space.

Kinji furrowed his brow and commented, "Negacion. A pillar of light that creates an isolated space that Menos use to save their fellow Hollows. Aizen...so this is why you remained so calm. You've already planned your escape."

Aizen glanced in Kinji's direction and commented, "Ohya. Tsunayashiro Kinji, the new Commander of the Kido Corps. I don't believe I've congratulated you just yet. This is quite excellent though. You are close friends with Chigetsu-kun are you not? Then perhaps the two of you just may discover the truth."

Kinji frowned in confusion having no idea what Aizen was talking about.

Just as Gin began to float into the air heading towards the giant hole in the sky he slightly turned and gave Rangiku an apologetic look. "Ahhh...what a let down...I wouldn't have minded being your prisoner for just a little longer...this is goodbye, Rangiku. I'm sorry..."

"Gin…" Rangiku softly whispered his name as she watched him ascend into the sky along with Aizen and Tosen.

BAM!

The sound of a rock being crushed could be heard as Komamura slammed his foot on the ground. "Tosen! Come down here! I don't understand! Why did you become a Shinigami? Wasn't it because you wanted to carry out justice for your friend who passed away? Where has your sense of justice gone?!"

Tosen remained indifferent as he emotionlessly replied, "I told you, Komamura. The only thing I can see with my eye is the least bloody path. Justice is always there. The path I follow is justice."

Ukitake furrowed his brow and took a step forward staring up at Aizen slowly floating away on a bed of rock. "So you've joined with the Menos. Why?"

Aizen stared back with indifference. "To reach higher."

"Have you fallen so much, Aizen?"

"Hn. You're too arrogant, Ukitake. No one stood at the top from the beginning. Not you, not me, not even the gods." He slowly removed his glasses and slicked back the hair on his head. "However, that unbearable vacancy on heaven's throne ends now."

CLANK!

The sound of Aizen's glasses shattering to pieces echoed in the air as he crushed them between his fingers. "From now on...I shall stand atop the heavens. Goodbye, Shinigami. Goodbye, Ryoka boy. You've come quite far for a Human." As Aizen stepped foot atop one of the large white hands of a Gillian he gave one last look at Kishin. "Chigetsu-kun. I look forward to our next encounter. I wonder if by then, you shall have learnt the truth."

Toshiro gritted his teeth and shouted in anger. "Wait! Aizen you bastard!"

However Aizen didn't bother to give Toshiro another look as the giant Garganta closed in the sky disappearing along with all the Gillians and the three traitorous Captains.

Several Hours Later

There was currently an orange hue cast across the sky over the entirety of the Seireitei as the sun had begun its descent into night. The loud noises of people chattering and shuffling about could be heard as the medical unit of the 4th division rushed around treating people's injuries atop the Sokyoku Hill. Due to all of this it was currently quite busy on the chaotic overhang of the cliff. The giant guillotine arch of the execution stand was missing a giant portion in the middle of where the two long wooden posts were supposed to intersect. There was also a giant gaping hole in the ground beneath the execution stand from when Ichigo had stabbed his Zanpakuto into the arch and destroyed it. A long deep trench also ran horizontally across the Hill created at some point from Ichigo's battle with Byakuya.

Kishin gave a light sigh as he sat on the ground watching the hustle and bustle before him. He watched as Toshiro sat on the ground beside an unconscious Hinamori as Unohana attempted to assess her current level of health. Rangiku stood behind her Captain to give him moral support, but she herself wasn't doing too well either as her mental and emotional state was currently in turmoil from the confusion of Gin's betrayal.

Kira was currently knelt down on the ground still staring up at the sky where Gin had disappeared into the Garganta from earlier. Hisagi was in a similar position though instead of Gin, his thoughts were on Tosen.

Komamura was currently seated with his eyes closed deep in thought. A confused expression was plastered on his face as he was just as bewildered as Hisagi was from Tosen's betrayal. Even though Unohana healed the injuries that he sustained from his fight with Kishin much earlier in the day she hadn't had time to heal him completely. She only performed some quick first aid to ensure his life wasn't threatened and so he was currently getting a more in depth treatment from some other members in the 4th division.

Ichigo was still here as well as he was currently surrounded by Orihime, Ishida, Ganju, and Sado with an orange barrier enclosing him inside to heal his injuries, compliments of Orihime's powers.

Renji who had shown up with them on the Hill was getting a more thorough treatment for his injuries that he sustained against Byakuya as the medical team started draping some bandaged cloths around his body. Although Kinji had healed his wounds with Kido it was only to the point where his life wouldn't be threatened. Renji still had considerable wounds that needed to be dealt with.

And finally Kishin turned his head to his right and watched as Rukia sat beside Byakuya's injured frame as the Captain was being treated by some 4th division members. He had sustained some extensive damage during his fight against Ichigo that seriously needed some attention. Their fight had been more evenly matched and grueling than the stoic Captain had thought it would be. Ichigo in his Bankai state and Getsuga Tensho ability proved to be more dangerous and more troublesome than the Captain had liked to admit, however with his more refined skills such as Kido and the versatility of his own Bankai coupled with his years of battle experience he was more than a match against Ichigo's sheer volume in power. In the end the fight between them had ended in a draw, at least that was the result due to the interference of Aizen and the others showing up.

Another sigh escaped Kishin's lips as he saw the look on Rukia's worried face become shocked and startled before turning back into worry. Byakuya had lifted up his hand to reach out to her to which she immediately took hold of and warmly squeezed. A few tears had rolled off of her eyes and Kishin knew that Byakuya must have told her the truth about Hisana. It was then he heard a purring beside him so he turned and looked down to where the source of the noise came from, however he was momentarily stunned at the sight before him. Down by his lap were two cats. One completely black in color and the other, orange. No doubt they were Yoruichi and Yushiro in their cat transformations. Kishin felt a bit awkward as the two Shihoin siblings purred and sat by his side. It was his first time ever seeing Yushiro transformed into a cat so he stared at his playful friend with intrigue.

"What?" Yushiro inquired, however Kishin widened his eyes completely dumbfounded as the sound of Yushiro's voice was completely feminine.

"What? Shocked that Yushiro's voice sounds like a woman's in his cat form and mine sounds like a man's voice in my cat form?" Yoruichi mischievously commented as she stared at Kishin's reaction.

Kishin just cleared his throat before giving an awkward look at the two siblings. "Ahem...why the hell does your guys voice change to sound like the opposite gender when you're in your cat forms?"

Yoruichi just licked her paw and indifferently replied, "Isn't it more fun that way? We get to mess around with people and it's funnier to see people's reactions when they find out that I'm a woman or that Yushiro is actually a guy."

Kishin just rubbed the back of his neck mildly amused. "Isn't it enough already to shock people when they find out that you aren't a cat? You have to mess with them even more and make them think that you're the opposite gender too?"

Yushiro walked a bit closer in his four-legged form and swayed his tail from side to side like a slippery snake in the air replying to Kishin's comment, "Well, if we're going to play a prank then go big or go home right? Hehe."

Kishin raised his eyebrow somewhat amused before shaking his head. For a good long while the aura around the three of them remained peaceful, that was until Kishin turned to Yoruichi and asked, "So? Seems we failed in the end. I never imagined that Aizen would have already gotten his hands on the Hogyoku from the very start. What're you gonna do now?"

Yoruichi let out a sigh and was about to answer, but Yushiro quickly interjected with a bit of panic in his voice. "S-Sister! Y-You aren't going to leave again are you?! The last time you disappeared I didn't see you for over a hundred years!"

Yoruichi again let out a sigh and amusedly pawed Yushiro's face. "Don't be silly Yushiro. I obviously didn't show myself for over a hundred years because Kisuke's name wasn't cleared. Soul Society was still searching for us back then, but it's different now. Aizen showed his true colors and even killed the members of Central 46. I reckon a lot of things will be changing around here. Although I won't be sticking around for long you'll see me more often than before."

Yushiro's eyes immediately beamed as he rubbed up his whiskered face against Yoruichi's neck. A low purring noise came from his lips evidently happy that he could see Yoruichi more often now. Yoruichi on the other hand turned and gave Kishin a helpless look in her eyes to which he smirked and shook his head. "Don't look at me. He's your brother."

It was then a large shadow fell over Kishin as someone stood in front of the setting sunlight. Kishin turned his attention to the person responsible and greeted, "Yo, Captain Komamura. Have your wounds fully healed?"

Bam!

The loud noise of Komamura instantly falling to his hands and knees bowing his head to Kishin could be heard throughout the entirety of the giant hill. "Lieutenant Chigetsu. I deeply apologize. It appears that I was the one that was truly blinded. I wrongly accused you and attacked you. As a Captain it is truly disgraceful of me for not having investigated the matter more thoroughly before coming to a final conclusion."

Kishin stared at the beastly Captain bowing his head before him for a few long seconds before he waved his hand uninterestedly and commented, "Alright, the matter is over. I accept your apology, Captain Komamura. You shouldn't bow your head so easily. You are a Captain after all and I'm just a Lieutenant."

Komamura took a deep breath before lifting up his head and nodded appreciatively towards Kishin. "Mn. Thank you for accepting my apology. Though I am a Captain it remains that I was too blinded to even see through the truth of my best friend Tosen. I am truly ashamed." He then stood up and started to walk off into the distance, but not before he said one last thing. "Lieutenant Chigetsu...After today's incident the crimes that you have been accused of will likely be completely dropped, but just in case I will do my all to ensure that you and your comrades do not face any negative consequences."

Kishin smirked and closed his eyes relaxedly. "Heh, I see. Then I'll be counting on you for that, Captain."

Kishin's Zanpakuto: Sekiken Zansatsu (Blade of Crimson Carnage)

Shikai Release Command: Wash all things in a river of blood.

Shikai Appearance: A completely black colored double edged katana with blood stain marks on the bottom portion of the sharpened edge up to the tip. The hilt of the blade is obsidian black in color with 5 blood red lotus flower patterns carved on both sides. The guard of the hilt takes the shape of four obsidian colored crescent shaped moons that sparkle with a hint of crimson red. The crescent shaped guard on the top and bottom have the concavity of the moon faced towards the center of the hilt and blade while on the left and on the right side of the hilt the crescent shaped moons have the concavity facing outwards and away from the hilt and blade. The blade itself is approximately 90cm long.

Shikai Abilities:

1. Saku (Cleave): Kishin channels some blood and reiatsu into his Zanpakuto and fires out a red crescent blade at his target. The more blood he infuses the harder, stronger, and sharper his attack becomes. The more reiatsu he infuses the faster and more aura and Kido-like his attack becomes. He has the ability to change the trajectory of this technique one time after it is fired.

2. Shitsuyona Shukketsu (Relentless Bleeding): When activated his blade glows a subtle hint of crimson red. Whatever he cuts, no matter how shallow the cut is, it will grow and spread until one end of the cut loops around and meets with the other end of the cut. The wound created by this ability will continue to cause the target to bleed profusely. It will not clot or slow down. With each passing second more and more blood bleeds out faster and faster until the target bleeds to death.

3. Guren (Crimson Lotus): When Kishin cuts his target with the bloodstained edge of his katana it creates an infected wound on their body. When he activates this technique the targets blood around the site of the infected wound clumps together and forms a dense and hardened sharp crimson colored blood lotus. That blood lotus grows by continuously aggregating more and more of the targets blood tearing and puncturing the target's internal organs and ripping open their flesh and body. The blood lotus only stops growing when the target has no more blood left to offer leaving them left as only a pile of tarnished flesh and bones.

4. Nomu (Drink): This ability is both passive and active. Every time Kishin's blade comes into contact with blood, some of that blood is absorbed into his Zanpakuto and stored inside the lotus flower patterns carved on the hilt of his sword. There are a total of 10 lotus flower patterns carved on the hilt of his katana. The more blood stored inside a lotus flower the more crimson red it shines. Kishin can use the blood stored in the lotus flowers to fuel his blood based abilities like Saku or he can convert it into compatible blood and absorb it into his body to replenish his own blood loss. As long as his blade is in contact with blood, he can actively force the blade to absorb the blood at a faster rate than its normal passive state does. An advantage granted by this ability is the fact that he can reabsorb the blood he used for his Saku technique as long as the attack has yet to dissipate.

Bankai: Akai Shi No Zencho (The Omen of Red Death)

Bankai Appearance: There is no difference in the appearance of Kishin's Zanpakuto except for the fact that there is a red blood mist that flows out from his blade. That blood mist does not stray more than 5 meters away from the blade. Kishin also gains a red crescent moon tattoo on the center of his forehead as well as lotus flower tattoos on the back of his hands, the top of his feet, and a large one on his back. Black colored shackles with short broken black chains also appear around his neck, his wrists, and his ankles.

Bankai Abilities:

1. The abilities of his Shikai are still able to be utilized in his Bankai form. The blood mist around Kishin's Zanpakuto can absorb the blood around him and fuel his Zanpakuto powers or siphon the blood back into his body.

2. Chi Nagare Kawa (Blood Flowing River): A river of blood erupts from Kishin's Zanpakuto 100 meters long, 10 meters wide, and 20 meters deep engulfing all within its violent wave. It washes all things it touches into blood before everything dissipates into a large cloud of red bloody mist. Other secrets of this ability are currently N/A.

KISHIN'S HOLLOW MASK:

White in color with a ferocious row of sharp teeth by the mouth area. Some blood stain marks are painted on the tip of some of the teeth. Two jagged horns protrude from the side of the mask and one smaller horn protrude from the middle of the forehead. Black scar lines run through the horns with the pointed tips having a blood red tint. A red scar runs across the mask that begins a little to the left of the middle horn and down across the bridge of the nose between the eyes stopping just a few centimeters away near the bottom of the right eye. Two holes appear around the eyes to let him see. His eyes in this form turn black in color with red colored irises. There are also crimson colored blood tear droplets and lines ran down from the eye to the jaw of the mask.

Aizen's Zanpakuto: Kyoka Suigetsu (Mirror Flower Water Moon)

Shikai Release Command: Kudakero (Shatter)

Shikai Appearance: A normal looking katana with a green colored hilt and an elongated hexagonal shaped guard looking almost like a diamond.

Shikai Abilities:

1. Kanzen Saimin (Complete/Perfect Hypnosis): By showing his target(s) the release of his Shikai he can place anyone who has seen it under hypnosis where he can control all 5 senses of the target(s) such as sight, smell, taste, hearing, and touch. The targets only need to see it once for Aizen to place them under his hypnosis whenever he releases his Shikai in the future.

Toshiro's Zanpakuto: Hyorinmaru (Ice Ring)

Shikai Release Command: Sit upon the frozen heavens.

Shikai Appearance: A normal looking katana albeit longer in length than normal at about 1.4 meters long. The guard has the shape of a four-pointed bronze colored star. The hilt is light blue in color. A crescent shaped blade is attached to the pommel by a long metal chain which can extend if necessary.

Shikai Abilities:

1. Can transform water into ice. His slashes can generate long Chinese looking ice dragons with red glowing eyes that can fly out to freeze all things it touches.

Bankai: Daiguren Hyorinmaru (Great Roaring Coldly Shining Moon)

Bankai Appearance: Toshiro's right arm transforms into an ice dragon head whilst his left arm transforms into an ice dragon claw. Giant ice wings protrude from his back and a long ice tail extends from behind him. His feet are covered in icy talons and 3 giant diamond-like purple colored ice flowers float above his head consisting of 4 petals each

Bankai Abilities:

1. Zanhyo Ningyo (Lingering Ice Puppet): Toshiro can generate an ice clone of himself to fool and trick his opponents though the trick usually only works once.

Ichigo's Zanpakuto: Zangetsu (Slaying Moon)

Shikai Release Command: Always in Shikai Release state.

Shikai Appearance: It has no handle or guard and simply has white bandage cloths wrapped around the hilt. The blade itself is as tall as Ichigo himself. It somewhat represents that of an oversized khyber knife with the top half of the blade black in color and the bottom half white in color.

Shikai Abilities:

-Getsuga Tensho (Moon Fang Heaven Piercer): Ichigo fuels his reiatsu into his Zanpakuto and fires it out creating a giant amplified swing of his sword. His Getsuga is blue in color.

Bankai Abilities:

1. Getsuga Tensho (Moon Fang Heaven Piercer): Ichigo fuels his reiatsu into his Zanpakuto and fires it out creating a giant amplified swing of his sword. His Getsuga is black in color with a red tint.
