Bleach - A New Beginning 1 Banb Ch 00 Prologue

Soul Reapers are the spiritual guardians of the human world. They are the balancers that watch over the souls of this world, both good and evil. Good souls are shown their way to the soul society-The the realm of the souls.

The soul society is roughly divided into Seireitei and Rukon district. Seireitei Lies in the center of Soul Society and it is the home to the realm's n.o.bles and Soul Reapers. The Rukon District lies on the outskirts of Seireitei and is the poorest area of Soul Society. Yet this is where freedom is greatest and is home to the majority of the realm's souls.

But the Rukon district often comes under attack. Hollows, those evil spirits that can't rest often attack, launching sudden a.s.saults. Right now, it was one of those times. However, at this moment, three Soul Reapers were racing towards the Rukon District.

While rus.h.i.+ng towards the area with Hollow Invasion, the Soul Reaper wearing gla.s.ses informed the others with him about the current situation, "We are reaching near the patrol that put out the call for help Captain Suzunami."

The one addressed as Captain Suzunami squared his tensed shoulders as he turned towards the third Soul Reaper with them, "You heard him Urahara. As Aizen said, We'd better hurry."

"Sure, that's fine with me." Captain Kisuke Urahara responded while running alongside those two, but his playful mood sparked too, and he decided to tease them, "But why am I being dragged along on a Squad 5 Rescue Mission?"

"You were the only one available who could keep up with Aizen and me" Suzunami responded as he was an extremely serious and sincere kind and didn't often get the nuances and teasing of others when focused on a mission.

"This is an emergency Captain Urahara, we hope you don't mind," Aizen responded with an apologetic smile on his face.

"That's fine Aizen. You know me, Happy to help. Although I prefer to leave this kind of stuff to the young folks and simply devote myself to research." Urahara said with a short laugh.

Aizen got a headache listening to his carefree speech and tried to reason with him. He couldn't very well show his exasperation since he was a captain, no matter how childish his talks were.

"Training young folks is one of the duties of the Captain though sir isn't it? "Aizen tried to reason with him.

"I just am good at creating things though. I don't have any talent in training people." Urahara snickered.

A sudden pressure spiked in the surrounding startling the three out of their mood. The three became focused as they realized they had almost arrived at their destination.

"Alright, that's enough griping, lets focus. I sense hollows nearby" Suzunami said briefly as he honed his senses to find out the exact location of the spiritual pressure.

Aizen a.n.a.lyzed the spiritual pressure and tried to quantify the enemies, "Six of them? …. No, Seven. So many in one place! This can't be a random attack which usual patrol squads deal with."

"That's too many for a patrol squad to handle, they will be in trouble." Suzunami said, "I hope we make it in time."

Saying as much, Suzunami started to speed up, even more, wanting to reach as soon as possible.

"Where is that Yoruichi when we need her, anyway?" Urahara grumbled as he kept up with Suzunami.

While shaking his head, Suzunami turned to Aizen, "You to take care while backing us up Aizen."

Aizen immediately nodded with a serious expression "Yes sir."

These three were Captain Urahara of Squad 12, Captain Suzunami of Squad 5 and his Lieutenant Aizen. Today they had received a distress call from one of the patrol squads and went to help. They didn't know that today would mark the start of a new story for them.

They soon reached the spot of the alarming spiritual pressures of hollows. However, they could only see the fading remains of previous patrol squad devoured by the hollows. Suzunami shouted in anger and frustration at seeing such a sight.

Captain Suzunami was very sincere and straight forward. He considered his squad members as his own family. Seeing them torn to pieces and devoured like that angered him.

Aizen quickly made a headcount and reported, "All five patrol members are dead Captain; however, something doesn't feel right here. There is something wrong. But they managed to lure six of the hollows into this vacant plot and minimize the damage. They accomplished their duties without fail Captain, they didn't die in vain."

"I don't get it, though. By the principle of their existence Hollows are usually loners, aren't they? They usually don't group up like this. But here there are six of them facing against us like this. Being all together without conflict... Something doesn't sit well." Urahara mused while looking around.

Suzunami interrupted the ponderings of the other two at this point since he could no longer hold back, "We can think about all that later, Urahara. Right now, is the time to slaughter these miscreants and avenge the deaths of our fallen men?"

"Yeah. Let's settle the score! We need to find out where the seventh one went too after all."

With that, the fight started between the Hollows and the three Soul Reapers. Suzunami led the charge, his Zanpakuto already unleashed in his s.h.i.+kai Form 's.h.i.+den' "Five Screamers and a Frog Head ... Three for me and two for you two. After them, we will deal with the Frog head. I am moving in."

Attacking with fast-paced Flash Step along with his 's.h.i.+den', He was making short work of his share of hollows. His Zanpakuto started growing larger and more sinister with each strike. Finally, it started releasing the true power of the s.h.i.+kai, His Zanpakuto embodied lightning. Every slash started sending streams of lightning scorching his share of Hollows to charcoal.

Aizen and Urahara didn't stay back. Aizen distracted the hollows with 'Kyokasuigetsu', while Urarahara's 'Benihime' made short work of them quickly. After that, all three of them went for the Frog head.

Though it put up a good fight, lasting longer than the Screamers, against the three of them he couldn't put a scratch it had a little more resistance to s.h.i.+den's lightning barrage but ultimately resulted in charcoal all the same. The speed of Suzunami increased tenfold because of the integration of lightning and in such a case, it didn't last long.

"Finally done, that ought to do it." Urahara sighed as Aizen nodded in affirmation while making another round of investigation in the surroundings.

Suzunami broke the reverie as he gave his orders "Aizen stay on guard here, Urahara and I will check out the final one."

"Yes, Sir."

"Urahara, Let's go. We will go and find the final one."

"Sure, Why not. I bet that one is the big nasty leader." Urahara responded as Benihime glowed in a bright red light briefly.

They both ran towards where they could sense the last hollow, when suddenly they felt an enormous spike of spiritual pressure, like a whirlpool dragging everything towards its depths. They were startled by the appearance of this spiritual pressure because this didn't belong to a hollow.

They rushed to the spot but what they saw stunned them; three little children confronting an enormous hollow, which seemed to be a unique one apart from the usual riffraff, because of his actions that suggested intelligence.

One girl was holding someone who seemed to be her brother who was wounded, and the last boy with blue hair and swirling red eyes, staring at the hollow with the gaze of a Wrathful s.h.i.+nigami G.o.d, his surrounding distorting into a spiritual pressure whirlpool because of the pressure he was emitting. The way his pressure swirled was making the hollow cautious, as it looked like the boy with the enormous pressure was protecting the other two.

Suzunami and Urahara were dumbstruck at the scene, 'How can a boy have that much spiritual pressure' was what going through their minds. This child had enough pressure to barely qualify to captain level!
