"Peace through obliteration?" asked Seto, watching as Aizen's makeshift boy paced.
"Why do you say that?"
"Because the Hogyoku knows chaos. It knows destruction. It knows power..." Seto tightened his grasp on his blade.
"You know all of those things." Shosei stopped and faced the Shinigami. "Is that how you wish to obtain peace in your time?"
"Well," Seto looked down at his blade. "It is all we know how to do. Soul Reapers, Hollows, Quincys...We are all chaos. The Hogyoku, though...Is not...But, if I am to be honest with you, Shosei...You can fuck all the way off. I've heard it's voice in my head. I felt it's hand on my chest. Right before you and the Ayakashi appeared in Karakura...So, shut up...And, let it speak."

"An interesting thing...Tervaden..." Shosei smiled as he stepped toward the Shinigami. "Is that you speak to me as if you hold some sort of....power over me." Shosei stepped as close to the Shinigami as he could, his smile grew wide. "Am I supposed to fear you now that you've done," he waved a hand. "This."
"Okay..." Seto sighed and looked away. But only for a second. "So, you're going to make this difficult then? You fucking Aizen's are all the same."
"All of us?" questioned Shosei.
"Yeah...You know this part." replied Seto. "Azayaka. Evita. Now you." Seto grew quiet. Then gave a chuckle. "Vessels..." he whispered. "You rejected Aizen...Then, what? You had Szayel build you a better one?"
"What are you talking about?"

"I'm not talking to you, stupid." Seto raised his blade and pointed to the Hogyoku in Shosei's chest. "A bit of a flawed plan there, isn't it. Shosei is a clusterfuck of other people and things. On top of that he's a baby. Literally came out of his tube a few months ago. You were better off staying where you were."
Shosei growled beneath his breath. "Fuck you!"
"Oh!" laughed Seto. "Was that you or the Hogyoku talking? Either way, you're spicy."
His anger growing, Shosei reached out and grabbed the Shinigami. "I think I'm going to kill you now..."
"More doing, Shosei." Seto quickly drove his blade into Shosei's torso. "Less thinking." Seto released Chinmoku inside of the man's body, ripping him apart from the inside out quicker than he could react. Shosei stumbled backward and fell to the ground as Chinmoku worked. But...Something was wrong...There was no blood. Seto stopped Chinmoku's attack and looked down at the man's body. It had collapsed into a pile of sand.
"Well...What the fuck is this?"

"It is...The beginning of your end." whispers Shosei. He stood behind Tervaden, grinning as he leaned in to whisper in the man's ear. He sonido'd away as the Shinigami turned swinging his blade. "Oh fuck off!" he laughed, dodging each of the Shinigami's swings. He lifted his legs and kicked Tervaden in the chest, sending him flying across the crater. "If you think that taking me down is going to be as easy as it was taking down that piece of shit Sada, you are mistaken!"
"You think Sada was easy?!" groaned Seto, placing a hand to his chest. "I had to release my bankai in full. And, even now something tells me that ass isn't dead."
Shosei raised a finger. "One...No one told you to release the full extent of your power. Two...All you did was show the rest of us your limit. And, do believe me when i tell you...All of us will do nothing but test it again. And again. And again."
"I'm alright with you wasting your time." Seto smiled. "Especially if you think that you're testing my limits." His smile grew wide as he pointed to the man with a bladeless hilt. "Good luck finding them though."
Shosei growled as the black hissing mass that was Tervaden's blade surrounded him."Give me a good fight!" he shouted, reaching out to touch the inside of the sphere. It cut his hand.

Seto lowered his blade and exhaled loudly. "If it's a good fight you want..." Seto tapped the hilt of his blade to his thigh. "I can't help you there. I am tired of this shit..." He tapped the blade to his thigh again, and Chinmoku changed in shape. It drew closer to the man inside before becoming spears that pierced his body. "By the end of though, I'm going to rip that thing from your che-"
"No." a soft voice spoke.
Seto shook his head and looked around. "No?"
"...No..." said the voice.
Looking up, Seto looked at the man struggling in the massive black spears that held him in place. He walked over to the man finding the Hogyoku glowing in the center of his chest.

"No..."
Seto narrowed his eyes hearing the voice inside his head. He could only assume it was the voice of the Hogyoku. Suddenly he felt as if the forces of all the realms were trying to snuff him out...As if the Soul King himself was trying to crush him in the palm of his mighty hands. Seto grabbed at his chest as he struggled to breath and process what was happening to him. He fell to his knees.
"Please...stop..." The pain intensified. It was unbearable. In this moment, more than any other, he wanted to die. Shosei's screams echoed in his ears and his vision blurred as he toppled over. With his forehead resting on the hot sands of Hueco Mundo, Seto began to vomit blood.
"Please!"
"Violence...No more...You want this to end."
The Shinigami managed to find the strength to tap a single finger to his the hilt of his blade, recalling his power. The manufacture man fell to the ground beside him. Both struggled beneath the weight of the Hogyoku's power. Just as the Shinigami began to lose consciousness, the Hogyoku lessened it weight. And, both the Shinigami and manufactured man exhaled in a sigh of relief.
"What the fuck..." groaned Seto. He rolled over onto his back as he coughed. His entire body ached. "The Hogyoku isn't capable of this...What...What are you?"
"...I am a light in the dark...A guiding force. I am...capable...of far more than you can comprehend."

"I don't understand," Seto stared at the sky. He couldn't remember a time before this where the skies were this beautiful. It reminded him of home. "Help me understand...If you were capable of speaking this entire time, why not speak to Aizen? Why reject him? Why leave? Why orchestrate this bullshit with Espada and Ayakashi? Why the fuck would you chose to house yourself in Shosei?!"
"I chose not to speak to Sousuke Aizen, because there was nothing to say. I never rejected him. He simply began believing in his own limitations. Then, he believed he had none, so...He had none. I left because there is nothing more he desires than what he has now. The Espada and Ayakashi however, crave more power. I am housed in your manufactured man because he believes that he is deserving of more. He wants more."
"You are more than welcome to say no to all of them...At any time." Seto groaned as he sat up. He turned slightly and looked at Shosei. The boy was lying still as if death had taken him. Seto could still hear the voice of the Hogyoku. The sight and sounds of the moment felt as though there was some phantom puppeteer. Seto shook his head. None of this made sense. He, like many, knew of the Hogyoku. But this...This was beyond him. None of what was happening made sense....Unless...
"Are you capable of...evolving?"

"I have viewed the realms through the eyes of Sousuke Aizen and Kisuke Urahara. I have felt the joys and pains and loss of those I help guide in achieving their deepest desires. I have learned. And, I have changed."
"Great..." mumbled Seto. He shook his head as he came to a knee. "It is my understanding that your purpose...your ability is absorbing desires...Aiding in their manifestation. Urahara, Kurosaki...Aizen...What they've done...What they're capable of...That's been you?" The Hogyoku gave no answer.
"What about Kita? Is that your doing too?"
"Not my doing."
Seto narrowed his eyes and shook his head. "Your wording implies there is more than one...But, you're the only one."
"We can not be destroyed. We are many. We are one."

Seto shook his head frantically. "No. No no no no no. No!" He sprung to his feet only to fall back to a knee. "No...He's not that stupid. Urahara is not that stupid. He made one. Aizen made one. Aizen fused the two together prior to creating the Arrancar. We are many...We are one..." Seto pointed a finger at Shosei. "He is not that stupid! Kisuke Urahara did not create two Hogyokus. He's not that fucking stupid!" "We can not be destroyed.""Fuck!" Seto slammed a fist into the hot sand. "He can't be that fucking stupid. Even...Even if he is..." Seto sighed. "Even if he did something so reckless as creating a second Hogyoku, it's hidden. Locked away in some undoubtedly fucking deep dark secret hole in the ground." Seto growled at the idea of a careless Urahara. "He is not that fucking stupid!" Seto shook his head and sighed. "So...There's another Hogyuko out there. Do you want it?" "I want nothing."Seto narrowed his eyes. Another moment passed before he realized what he had done. "Well...Shit...You might not want it. But, in all my genius, I just let the strongest fuck in the realm know that there's a second one of you out there...He's going to go after Urahara." Seto turned quickly, reaching for his blade. But by the time he turned back around, Shosei had disappeared. "Fuck!" Seto scrambled along the hot sand, cursing and shouting into the nothingness. Then he heard a familiar sound. "Koga!!" Moved

Bleach Unrated: REBOOTEDCurrent Arc: RejectionEpisode 496 "The Damage Done": For two hundred years, Shinigami worked to exterminate the Quincy due to their over hunting of hollows, throwing the realms out of balance. A high price that would forever cause a divide between the two. But, in recent days, one man would be responsible for an imbalance even greater than that caused by the Quincy. Vale Tervaden, in an effort to slay the daemon Sada Terou, unleashed his bankai in its entirety. The attack erased Las Noches, and scarred the realm. The number of hollows that were killed in the attack...Incalculable. Far fewer hollows exist today than any other time in the history of the realms. One man did more damage with one attack than an entire race of people.Koga blinked, breaking the flow of visions in his gaze. He stood at the center of the crater left behind by Tervaden. The downpour post attack stopped a few days ago. Now, scattered showers forced the beginning of change in the realm. The change in terrain and shifting sands made it nearly impossible to settle anywhere outside of the forests. And, now they were overcrowded and served as nothing more than a means to a quick meal.
Closing his eyes again, Koga let his visions flow.
"Open gates. A flood of sins before corruption. Allies now enemies. New strength. A war between them. Death. Still more to come by god's fire, bone and makeshift son."
Koga inhaled deeply as his visions continued. These were of the Soul Realm. A calm before the worst would come. Storms that rivaled the chaos happening in the Hollow Realm. Earthquakes that would level divisions. The Soul Realm would suffer a level of chaos that has not been seen since the creation of the Gotei 13. Koga opened his eyes. He exhaled as he folded his hands behind his back.
"My...How the times are changing." Thunder rumbled in the clouds above. Koga smiled as he tilted his head back to view the dark clouds of the impending storm. "Seven years before the end. Seven years and more chaos to come." He hummed lowly as a vision of the present...The past flashed before his eyes. "Well now that is a loss. The last of the elder Quincies in Karakura. The most powerful of the Quincy...a split between Kazuya and Kurosaki...Until the former finds his edge again." Koga's smile grew die. "And now that the elder Kazuya is gone...Oh damage to be done."END RP "Flame of the Ninth"

Bleach Unrated: REBOOTEDCurrent Arc: The ChaosEpisode 584 "By Any Measure": (Continued) Seto and Kenji arrived in Hueco Mundo, at the place he scarred the realm. The place where Las Noches stood. The crater was still filled partially with water from the rains. Even more than the last time he was here. Seto felt a strange sense of relief. He didn't know why. He just knew that the realm brought him comfort. He didn't like it. "Stay here..." he said as he turned to Kenji. "I need to go find Koga." "Wait!" shouted Kenji. "Koga...Didn't you just day that you couldn't fight him if you had to? Why go seek him out?""I need to know what he sees for me. I need to know if this changes." "What?! You need to know so badly, why? What will it change?!""I don't know, Kenji! I don't fucking know! But...I have to know..."

Kenji sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "I'm going to be honest with ya, this is stupid. And, I think you should give this more than a day's worth of tries. You've had Chinmoku for what feels like forever, I'm sure. And, this isn't the first time you two have lost touch."
"Yes but this is different, Kenji!"
"So?! You're older and not much smarter. And...this is stupid!"
Seto held out a finger, hushing Kenji. "Did you hear that?"
"No..."
Seto turned around, a smile on his face. "Our bird has gotten stealthy."
Kenji looked up at the dark sky. "Uh...K...You do know that he's a big bird, right. I don't imagine he can hide very well."

Seto felt uneasy and crouched down, pulling Kenji with him. "Shhh...."
Kenji looked around. "I...Don't see what you see..." he whispered. "What are we doing?"
Shaking his head, Seto huffed. "You are an Urahara, boy! Use your -" Seto's words were cut short by a talon jutting out of the dark of the sky. He pushed Kenji out of the way just as middle talon struck the ground forcing a cloud of sand into the air. Seto shielded his face with one arm as he drew his zanpakuto.
"Koga!" he shouted as the massive bird opened an eye. If not for the violet shimmer in the eye, Seto would not be able to tell the bird had even opened its eyes. He shunpo'd away, just enough to make out the fullness of the owl. His evolution to Ayakashi made what already was a massive secondary form even bigger. He was sure this form would dwarf what he was as an Espada.
"Koga! Relax. I just want to talk!"

Post by Eisaku Koga on Nov 24, 2024 9:13:23 GMT -6
Koga transitioned back into his primary form - a small man compared to the owl. He stood 5'10" just slightly shorter than the two Shinigami men before him. Koga folded his arms behind his back.
"Koga -"
"I know...You just want to talk." A smirk slid across Koga's lips. He tilted his head to the side. "About the connection with your zanpakuto. An odd question for me, isn't it?"
Kenji's heart pounded in his chest. But he remained steady and ready to take on the hollow if necessary. "What makes it an odd question for you?"
Koga's eyes shimmered as his gaze shifted to the younger of the two men. "The Seer...A title given to me by Sousuke Aizen. But, I am by no means, your sight for the future. If you want to know something, Seto Tetsuya," Koga looked to Tetsuya. "Live. And stop coming to me looking for answers."
"How often does he come to you?"
Koga didn't answer. There was no need to answer. The man would deny it.

"It doesn't matter." Seto grunted. "And, I just need to know this one thing. Then, I am done with it." Seto returned his zanpakuto to his side. "I just need to know if I get it back. Do I fix it?" Seto could hear Koga laughing. It was strange to hear. Not because he had an odd laugh. But because Koga simply didn't laugh. Evolution had changed him.
"Divided. Two. A sword and a shield." Koga tilted his head. "A son, like his father," Koga, once again, looked at the younger man. "Strong and immovable."
"Enough of your fucking riddles!"
"No! Seto wait!" Kenji stepped closer to the hollow. "Strong and immovable..." Kenji smiled. "Like my dad?"
"Kenji...He's fucking with you. This is what he does. Fucking riddles before the actual answer."
Kenji nodded and stepped back. Maybe Seto was right. Maybe...He was wrong. Kenji smiled. "Then, how do you get a straight answer from him? This already seems frustrating for you."
Seto narrowed his eyes. "Occasionally," he drew his blade again. "Koga has to shed blood before the answer..."
