"Prison for a prison..." mumbled Vale. He looked to Teruo who seemed none too pleased about having to ask permission to leave. "Does that rule apply for all? Or, just this one?" He pointed to Teruo.
"Everyone--" Aizen replied as he stood looking pointedly at Vale. Then looked past him into the shadows. "It seems you have no one to blame for this sudden change but yourself." Aizen's eyes then looked to the Fourth and the Seventh as well as Sada. "The five towers will multiply making seven. Then all Espada will gather in one. All the Ayakashi in another. The entire fourth tower will be turned into a prison. It will be reinforced and able to withstand even the powers of a God."
"You can not keep me here, half hollow!" shouted Teruo. "You think some barrier can stop me? And, how can you claim what you've created can withstand a god's power when you can not gauge it? You have no idea what the gods are capable of!"
Tired of the Ayakashi, Vale unsheathed his blade once more. The sound forcing a moment of silence from the Ayakashi. "For as much as I hate to admit it, he is right. Furthermore..." Vale narrowed his eyes. "Can you withstand the powers of a god?" He rested his empty hand on Mizue.

While in the shadows, Mamoru crouched in silence no one the wiser he was there; no one that was, but Aizen. He listened carefully to the conversation that was going on between Aizen and his followers. A sneer forming across his lips from time to time, listening to their rebuttals as Aizen told them of the changes to soon take place in the palace. He shook his head as Tervaden and the Ayakashi questioned his authority and actions.
Aizen’s eyes narrowed at Vale. "Are you threatening me, Tervaden?” He stepped down from the throne pedestal.
Mamoru had not been there long, not long at all; but from his gathering of information and what he was told by his Master he could see the rebelliousness within just the ones that were summoned to the small meeting. All but the one that had remained silent: gathering, watching. Watching and waiting for the right moment to spring into action if needed. Like him. Just waiting---
---
“You want me to do what?” Mamoru chuckled. "Is one not our enemy?”
Nodding, his Master looked to him. “Indeed, but he was created by us as was his brother, both to help keep the balance intact.” His Master turned to look at him. “But there has been too much interference by others.”
“Others?,” Mamoru questioned.
“Gods, Soul Reapers, and even humans have taken a place in this game of Aizen’s. This, changing the rules more than I would like to admit.”
“So I am to assist these men in what way?”
“You follow their orders as you would mine--” his master commanded him, “short of killing.” He turned and looked to his subordinate.
Mamoru chuckled softly. "Like I could do that anyway.” He looked to his Master and grinned. “So what of his brother? I hear he has created a crystal that can kill the Gods.”
“This is true, but Urahara is not one you need to worry on. It is his brother Aizen.”
“It is not like he can over power me, right?” Mamoru scratched his head.
“Go to Urahara first. He has something that will protect you in the case that Aizen learns his secret of this new crystal.”
“So I am to keep my spiritual nature and the nature of why I am there a secret from them both?” Mamoru questioned.
“Indeed. You are to conceal everything you are from them all. Not even the Seraph or the God of Fire should know of your true identity or powers. To them, you will be nothing. If anyone assaults you, you can then put them in their place with ease.”
Mamoru nodded his head to his Master and bowed. “Is there a boundary I am limited to?”
His Master nodded. "You do not kill and you do as these men tell you. Nothing more -- Nothing less.”
Mamoru stood from his bow and smiled. “May I ask what I should do with the Goddess and the rogue God?”
His Master looked to him as their eyes locked. “You are equals with the God of Fire. A confrontation between you would be fruitless, but if it comes to his defiance in your actions.” his Master paused. “Deal with him accordingly. As for the Goddess, I doubt she will be any trouble. Nor will her vessel. She knows of her importance to us.” He turned away from him as he still spoke. “Protect the Goddess and her vessel at all cost, Mamoru. If she dies, eons of history will be lost with her.”
Mamoru bowed again. "As you order, my lord.” He turned, disappearing from the room.
---
Mamoru looked out and around the room waiting for someone to challenge Aizen, a smirk forming from under his mask as Tervaden was the first to step forward and take the prize. He waited, crouched and ready to react with the slightest movement from any of them.

"Threats, Sousuke, are issued by people who have no intentions of carrying them out." Vale stepped toward Aizen, blade still drawn. "This is a promise. And, you know what it's about. Go there, and I will break you as easily as you believe you can break me."
In an instant, Koga appeared between the two men and their tempers. He passed a narrowed glance to Tervaden. "Even you have fallen prey to your own illusions." he spoke, his voice no higher than a whisper. Tucking his hands into his large sleeves, Koga sighed. "Not one future waiting to be displayed has the two of you pitted against one another."
With one hand he pointed to Aizen. "Though his power is subject to a fickle god, just how long do you think he will let you speak and handle him the manner you have? Then, you punish him for his defiance? A wise man knows better than to mishandle his tools."
Drawing his blade, Koga pointed to Tervaden. "You demand a respect that you have not earned. Earning that respect, begins with you not assuming we believe that you are as weak and unintelligent as you seem. Even without the god's power, you are still among the strongest here. There is no need to beat on your chest."
"Yes, little bird." grinned Teruo, eyes wide at the Espada's display. "Flex those mighty wings of yours."
Koga's pale eyes narrowed. "Peering through shadow, at future's warning given by past and present." Koga's voice remained no higher than a whisper. He looked to Aizen and nodded. Lowering his hand and blade, Koga returned to his place across the throne room.
"Lovely." growled Vale. He glanced over his shoulder at Koga. He then turned his attention to Aizen. Their eyes narrowed at each other. "Do what you're going to do, Sousuke." Vale tightened his grip on Chinmoku. "Get your hands dirty, Buttercup. Or, sit the fuck back down."

Teruo sniffed the air, as he drew Naraku. "I smell...Fear." He turned about, looking around the room. "Which of you is foolish enough to bring such pleasantries?" His eyes fell on the lady Aizen. "Is it you?" Glancing over his shoulder, he looked to Aizen who had turned his back to Tervaden.
Aizen's eyes narrowed at the Ayakashi. His silent warning ignored.
"Your daughter is ripe with fear." Teruo grinned, poison dripping from his fangs. "I suppose I should thank you for making her such an easy target." As Teruo licked his lips, he sonido'd toward the lady Aizen. As he reached the woman, Teruo felt the sting of metal pierce his flash. Teruo looked over his shoulder, laughing as he looked into the dark eyes of his Master. "Oh! Do I get to meet the hollow in you?" He grinned. "How exciting!"
"I warned you."
"That you did!" grinned Teruo. "Now, let's play the game - How long will it take for Sada Teruo to die?! I've got all eternity. You?"

Vale looked to the pair and shook his head. "I don't have time for this shit. You two hash out your problems. I'll be in my room. Don't bother me." He sheathed his blade and rested a hand on Mizue. He turned from the group and headed towards the doors of the throne room.
"I have not given you permission to leave, Tervaden." spoke Aizen, his blade still in the back of the Ayakashi.
Vale turned slowly, eyes narrowed toward Aizen. "Excuse me?" He chuckled turning back towards the doors. "Since when do I need your permission to do anything?"

Aizen pulled his blade from Sada's back, turned and looked to Vale pointedly. "I have not dismissed you, Tervaden; if you walk from this room now, just keep walking." Aizen looked to Sada from the corner of his eye.
"And take your pet with you."

Vale sighed, shaking his head. "Hurry up, then! I don't have all fucking day!" Vale tuned, driving a fist into the closed door. He turned around facing Aizen again, eyes narrowed further. "Any day now, Buttercup."
Sheathing Kyoka Suigetsu he walked away from Sada, turned and faced the ones in the room once more. "To keep from repeating myself; the first bit of information I gave you should be going into effect very soon. There should be no reason for you to be leaving here without orders. If there is, then there is nothing for you here. Gather your things and leave at once." His look drifted between the Ayakashai and Vale.
"I've got what I need, right where I want it." replied Vale. "Now, move on."

Nonchalantly Aizen's head nodded, his eyes closing. He said nothing when a blur streaked across the room. Tervaden finding himself pinned against the wall with a forearm shoved into his chest. The form that stood in front of him was almost ghostly. The man dressed in a transparent light gray, from head to toe, decorative swirls of brown extended from his shoulders, elbows knees and one from his mask above his left eye. His eyes coal black.
Aizen's hands folded behind him. "I grow tired of you Teevaden. You seem to forget your place one too many times. I am starting to believe you think you should be in charge here. When in reality; you failed in my absence."
The pressure grew more intense as Vale narrowed his eyes at the mask man, a smile forming under his mask. "I am one person you will not defeat. I was created to destroy scum like you."
Aizen smirked looking their way. "What will it be Tervaden? Your death or your servitude without the 'Holier Than Thou' attitude?"

Vale struggled against the masked figured. He looked to Aizen, eyes narrowed. “So what do you want? Me to share all my plans with you? If you want to be disturbed every moment of the day that I am not hilt deep in my Rose with the chaos of my mind, then so be it. I promise you’ll get tired of it before long.”
"You will learn to bow to me, Tervaden." stated Aizen. "Or, you will die. Which will it be?"
Vale looked to the shrouded figured, reaching for it's mask. "Calm my defiance by proxy? Are you not man enough to take me on your own?"
"I don't have to."
"Fuck you, Aizen!" shouted Vale lifting the mask of the figure that held him. It lifted enough for Vale to see its smile. "Who are you?"
Teruo turned, holding his torso and a mad grin on his face. "Does it matter? He can die." Teruo tilted his head, his grinned widening. "And, I will kill him."
"Stop running your mouth and get him off of me!"

With his eyes still on Vale and Takeo, Aizen announced. "Everyone is dismissed. Everyone but you; Tervaden. You will stay."
Takeo released Vale, pulling his mask back over his partly revealed face. Turning he looked to his Master and bowed to one knee his head lowered as well. "And me, sir?"
"You know your position, Takeo. Resume it until further notice." Aizen told him.
Takeo nodded and vanished. The others, all but Sada were making a path toward the Throne room door. Aizen looked pointedly at him eyes narrowing in a silent message.

"What the hell is your problem?" shouted Vale. He adjusted his haori as he looked to Aizen with narrowed eyes. "Well? So, you've got someone to do what? Tame me? Is he watching me too?"
Vale's hand fell to the hilt of his blade as he stepped toward Aizen. "If you don't want me here, say so. But, that shit..." Vale shook his head. "Fucking uncalled for."

Aizen turned from Vale with a smirk across his face, his hands tucked behind him. "Tell me Vale? Do you plan to tame the one you call Sada?"
"Answer me!" shouted Vale angrily. "Sada will be dealt with. Now, tell me what the fuck that was about!"
Aizen appeared in front of Vale their eyes locked and only inches apart. "No. Tervaden. You answer me."
Vale leaned closer to Aizen and whispered. "Are you deaf, old man? I just said, he will be dealt with."
In a flash, Aizen struck Vale across the face. A good solid slap. Not a punch. Not a backhand, but a good solid bitch slap. Vale's head turned. "Then learn to check your mouth at the door when you enter into my presence. Fools learn from fools."

Vale growled, turning his head and rubbing his cheek. "I'll think about it. But, considering you just slapped the shit of my pretty face...don't say shit to me when your mullet goes missing." Aizen's eyes narrowed.
"You don't learn very quickly, do you?" asked Aizen.
Vale shook his head. "I learn just fine. But, that shit hurt!" He placed his hand to his cheek then held his hand out for Aizen to see. "Am I bleeding?"
"So, these are the men I am supposed to follow?" questioned Teruo. When both men turned to face him, he grinned. "Tell me, half hollow. Are you going to slap me when you don't get your way?"
"No. I'm pretty sure he's just going to kill you." replied Vale.

Aizen looked slowly away from Sada to Vale once more. "Tell me Tervaden? What are your thoughts on Soul Society and a take over?"
Vale shook his head. keeping a hand on the hilt of his blade, he looked to Aizen. "Why bother taking it over? Burn it to the ground..." He passed a quick glance to Teruo, who was slowly moving closer to Aizen. "Why? Are you feeling nice enough to let them live?"
"I have plans for them. After all, all's fair in love and war. Correct?" Aizen disappeared reappearing behind Sada as he leaned over his shoulder slightly and whispered. "Isn't that right, Teruo?" Sada spun quickly, blade in hand as he swiped at Aizen's head. Aizen lifted his hand blocking the blade, a smirk formed across his lips. "You might be stronger than all the others, Teruo, but as for me. You lack skill and intelligence to beat me."

"Quite far from the truth, half hollow." Teruo grinned, sonidoing backward. "And, I gain nothing from your death. Death is an unfortunate side effect of the frail bodied and weak minded. I like for my prey to live, so that I can watch them decay." Teruo's grin faded, his eyes narrowing at the half hollow before him. He raised Naraku, looking over the black metal. "There is no fear in you, half hollow. And, your desire to conquer intrigues me. As Eisaku Koga has, I have seen what becomes of you." He glanced over his shoulder. "And, of you, Tervaden. I will bow long enough to claim what is mine."
Teruo returned Naraku to its sheath as his poison soaked grin return. "But, you can no more change me than you can him. Though, my desire for carnage greatly out weights his desires for chaos, starving us of either things will harm you more than you know." Teruo turned towards the doors of the throne room, licking his lips. "I am curious. We are creatures without hearts. This is what makes us hollow. The masks we bear are what's left of our humanity. To kill a hollow, you shatter it's mask or divide it's head. But, neither of those things happened to me. Like the rest of the Ayakashi, I have no mask. And, my ability to regenerate nearly makes me immortal."
"Nearly." snapped Vale.
"Nearly." grinned Teruo. "Curious still, why would my decapitation breed the anger I felt in this room?"
