(Y/N) felt guilty. In the few hours he has been travelling with Kiyone and Sentaro, they've been nothing but nice to him, yet he was here lying to them about who he really was. However, needed to do what was needed to save Rukia. He was able to find out that Rukia was being kept in a cell in the Sixth Division barracks. You even found the pathway that could lead him there. Apparently Kiyone and Sentaro were in the same division as Rukia and were at least friendly with each her. Although the same couldn't be said about each other.

Sentaro: I'm definitely the Captain's favorite!

Kiyone: Keep dreaming! I'm clearly the captain's favorite! (Y/N), you have to be the tie breaker!

(Y/N): I've never met your Captain. I don't know.

Another interaction (Y/N) found himself in the middle of was-

Kiyone: Tea is obviously better than coffee!

Sentaro: You're insane! Coffee is objectively better! Tell her (Y/N)!

(Y/N): I like both...

Yeah, they were quite the handful. But you enjoyed their company none the less. They didn't like the fact that Rukia was being executed but couldn't really do anything about it.

It was closing in at night time and as Kiyone and Sentaro closed in on their division barracks you decided to part ways with them. You didn't want to alert a captain that you were close by.

As you said your goodbyes, you quickly tried to find a place to rest so that you could continue your search in the morning.

(Timeskip) Next day

(Y/N) made it a point to tread lightly. He knew that at this point, the Shinigami's would know his appearance. He had a clear goal and knew he had to act quickly. As (Y/N) reached a staircase he witnessed Ichigo, Ganju and some random Shinigami coming from an underground sewer.

(Y/N): Ichigo? Ganju? And... who is that?

Ichigo: (Y/N)? There you are. This is uh...

???: M-my name is Hanataro Yamada.

(Y/N): It's nice to meet you. *turns to Ichigo* Let's get going. The quicker we rescue Rukia, the quicker we can leave.

Just then, in a flash, someone appeared in front of the group.

???: It's been a while. Do you remember me?

Ichigo and (Y/N) recognized the face immediately.

Ichigo: I would have liked to forget it, but there's still a heap of payback I owe you, Renji Abarai!

Renji: That's a surprise, you remembered my name, too. That's pretty good.

Ichigo: Why, thank you.

Ganju: Wh-Who is this guy? His Spirit Pressure is on a completely different level than those earlier guys.

Hanataro: Th-That, that person is Renji Abarai! The Lieutenant of Squad 6! Lieutenant?

Renji: I'm truly surprised I thought you two would be dead after Captain Kuchiki's attack.

Ichigo and (Y/N) started to approach Renji

Ganju: Uh, hey! Wait a minute, Ichigo! (Y/N)!

Renji: I don't know how you managed to survive, but you're something else, all right. But this is as far as you go.

(Y/N): You might have had a slim chance if it were just one of us, but you had the misfortune of fighting both of us at the same time.

Renji: Last time I checked I had both of you guys on the ropes, I'm sure I can pull it off again.

(Y/N): Is that right? I hope your fellow lieutenant, Kira, has some space for you in the medical ward, cause it looks like I'm about to go 2 for 2 on Lieutenant battles.

Renji: So you were the one that fought Kira? I heard one of the Ryokas defeated him, but I didn't think it would be you.

(Y/N): You'd be surprised how much stronger I've gotten in the last month.

Ichigo: Enough talking, let's just fight.

Renji: As I've told you before, I will kill the one who stole Rukia's powers.

???: You can handle this fight on your own.

Renji: Tsk... You didn't have to come, Hisagi.

There was another person joining the fray to assist Renji, by the name Hisagi. He had dark grey eyes, short black hair and three scars straight over his right eye that lead down his cheek. He also had the number "69" tattooed on his left cheek.



(Y/N): Hey Ichigo, you can take on Renji. I can handle the new guy.

Ichigo: Heh. I've never seen you this confident before.

(Y/N): Excuse me if I'm a bit excited that the mission is coming along so well. So you ready?

Ichigo: Yeah.

Meanwhile Renji didn't seem too happy that Hisagi was practically forcing his way into his fight.

Renji: Listen I don't need any help, you can assist somewhere else.

Hisagi: I'm under orders. "Take at least one of the Ryoka as a prisoner."

Renji: Yet you chose the ones I wanted to fight-

Before Renji and Hisagi could finish their argument, Ichigo and (Y/N) rushed them, catching them off guard.

https://youtu.be/dFRu0l08Sjs

(Y/N): Oversee, Ankou!

(Y/N)'s zanpakuto shapeshifted into a Scythe. Hisagi dodged and was intrigued by the design of the zanpakuto.

Hisagi: You also wield a scythe-like weapon.

(Y/N): Also? So you mean...

Hisagi just nods before activating his Shikai.

Hisagi: Reap, Kazeshini!

Hisagi's zanpakuto changed into two scythe blades, connected to a spiked rod tethered together by a long chain.

(Y/N) immediately took notice of the weapon, and came to the conclusion that it was a long range zanpakuto.

(Y/N): *thinking* I have to close the distance. It doesn't help that he has two weapons instead of one. I can probably alter the direction of his scythe swings with Sho.

Hisagi threw one of his scythes like (Y/N) predicted

(Y/N): Hadō #1. Shō

(Y/N) shot the sickle out of its trajectory but Hisagi threw his second sickle in to keep up the pressure.

(Y/N) dodge the attack and grab the scythe by the chain. Because a zanpakuto is created from the user's own soul, (Y/N) theorized that just touching it would allow him to absorb the spiritual energy from Hisagi.

Hisagi: What the?

(Y/N): Bakudō #61. Rikujōkōrō

(Y/N) used another Kido spell that he learned from Tessai prior to the trip. (Y/N) summoned six thin, wide beams of light to trap Hisagi in place. However, Hisagi flash stepped out of range to dodge the attack.

(Y/N): *thinking* He's quick... But I still have a hold on one of his scythes. He can't move far. And as long as I have my hands on his Zanpakuto, he'll constantly lose spiritual energy.

(Y/N) used the chain that he was holding onto as a way to dictate the movement of Hisagi. Just as (Y/N) was about to make a counterattack, Hisagi chose to let go of the chain scythe that (Y/N) was holding to bait him into an attack.

Hisagi used this moment to deliver a devastating slash to the back.

(Y/N): He got me there.

Hisagi then flash stepped to one of the roofs in the area and threw a scythe at (Y/N). (Y/N) narrowly dodges but his arm is caught, binding him in place by Hisagi.

(Y/N) uses this as an opportunity to cast Sho. Hisagi immediately loosens his grip on (Y/N), allowing him to escape.

(Y/N) decides to change the tide in battle, sneakingly summoning a hollow underneath Hisagi's feet to grab him. Hisagi, not noticing what grabbed onto him, tried to move out the way until he realized he was stuck. This gave (Y/N) the opportunity he needed to get an attack in. (Y/N) spun at a rapid pace with his scythe coming down with a fierce slash.

Hisagi was forced to block the attack, which meant he was going to have more spiritual energy stolen from him. Hisagi didn't like the pace the fight was heading into. He was getting tired out too quickly. The more devastating the attack was from (Y/N), the more spiritual energy was being drained from him.

Hisagi came to the conclusion that there was only so much spiritual energy (Y/N) could steal at a time despite the massive amount of spiritual energy he was stealing, however any huge attack that Hisagi probably could've used was out the window at this point. His stamina was running low, he needed to end the fight now.

Hisagi: Your fighting style is certainly unique. But I can't allow you to roam free. You're coming with me, whether you like it or not.

Hisagi dashed towards (Y/N) prompting to fight in close quarters rather than to fight from a distance.

(Y/N) decided to play on the defensive, intentionally willing to block attacks instead of dodge them so that he could continue to steal spiritual energy. But Hisagi was making it hard. Hisagi's use of Shunpo, was throwing (Y/N) off balance now that he was fighting in close quarters.

(Y/N): *thinking* This isn't good. I may have to release my shikai if I want to fight him in close quarters. The range on my scythe isn't suited for this. But my passive ability is throwing him off. If I release my shikai now, he'll just go back to fighting at long range.

(Y/N) struggled a bit more before he made a decision.

(Y/N): Screw it, I wanted to save this technique for a captain since it took a lot out of me, but this fight is gonna shift in his favor if I don't do anything. I can always use the second backup plan for whenever i run into a captain.

Up until now, every Kido spell that (Y/N) used, he didn't use an incantation for. This was unusual as only those who specialized in kido were able to skip the incantation step. However the reason why (Y/N) only knew a few spells was that he chose to only learn a new spell whenever he found himself able to cast a spell without chanting. This one spell in particular however, (Y/N) hadn't learned to cast it without incantation. (Y/N) felt that chanting would only alert the opponent that a technique was coming so he just kept it in his back pocket for emergencies. But then again, Tessai had told (Y/N) that even Urahara still made incantations for this kido spell. It was even a miracle that (Y/N) was able to pull it off at his level of training.

(Y/N): welp here goes nothing.

The last technique he learned from Tessai before his departure to the Soul Society. (Y/N) summoned multiple hollows to distract Hisagi as he chanted

Hisagi: Where did Hollows come from? Did you bring them here?

(Y/N): And what if I did?

"Limit of the thousands hands, respectful hands, unable to touch the darkness. Shooting hands unable to reflect the blue sky. The road that basks in light, the wind that ignited the embers, time that gathers when both are together, there is no need to be hesitant, obey my orders. Light bullets, eight bodies, nine items, book of heaven, diseased treasure, great wheel, grey fortress tower. Aim far away, scatter brightly and cleanly when fired."

Hadō #91. Senju Kōten Taihō

(Y/N) summoned ten pink energy projectiles and hurled them towards Hisagi at blinding speeds. Hisagi dispatched of the hollows just in time to move out of the way, however, (Y/N) planned for a possibility like that.

(Y/N): NOW!

One last hollow, that looked exactly like the one he fought with Rukia and Chad appeared, taking to the skies to cut off Hisagi's escape route.

(Y/N): Bakudō #61. Rikujōkōrō

This time, (Y/N) binding spell was successful as he was able to trap Hisagi in the gold plates of energy. Hisagi had nowhere to go, and was bombarded by the immense power of (Y/N)'s kido spell.

As the smoke cleared, Hisagi was knocked out.

(Y/N): Thank goodness that worked out. We're two for two on lieutenant battles.

(Y/N) looked over to his side and saw that Ichigo had just finished up his battle with Renji. It seemed as though Renji was having a heart to heart with Ichigo, he wasn't sure what they were saying from his distance but

(Y/N) fell over on his back, taking a few seconds to catch a breath.

(Y/N): I think that Hisagi guy has more spiritual energy... I think I'll steal some before we head out.

However (Y/N) passed out from exhaustion before he could.

To be continued.

Just wanna say. Next chapter is gonna be a wild ride.
