Near the Squad 12 base, the "boss" that everyone has talked about lately nears his target objective, when the guards try to stop him, he then addresses them with,
"DO NOT WORRY, THIS WILL BE OVER QUICKLY!"
The guards charge, and with one swipe of his hand, the intruder knocks their zanpaktous from their hands.
"DEBIRU GIGAI 90, TURN ALL THE WORLD TO ASHES, INCINERATION!" he says.
With that he snaps his fingers, and the Soul Reapers are burnt down to ashes in a flash. As he walks towards the door as a lieutenant stands before him.
"Stop right there big guy!!!!!" says the lieutenant.
"INSECT....."
It looks as if the intruder has disappear from sight, but then he appears right in front of the lieutenant grabbing him by the throat, slowly crushing it.
"DIE WORTHLESS GUARD DOG!" and with that he extinguishes the lieutenant's life, "WHAT A WASTE OF TIME, IF IT WEREN'T FOR YOU BROTHER, I WOULD END THIS NOW!" The intruder then proceeds to the Squad 12 building, uninterrupted this time.
While running towards the meeting hall where the prince is, Surrots feels Ru-Retto's spiritual pressure ebb out.
"Da** are we going to make it. Even with the knowledge gained from our inside help, will I get to the meeting place interrupted?" He turns the corner to find himself face to face with Squad 6's captain. "Da**, what rotten luck" he thinks to himself.
"Da** the one place I though I could avoid the action and enjoy my smoke, and then you have to show up," Captain Shimin said, "Ok, then I guess it's time to kill you."
Surrots, frozen with fear, thought, "How can he be so Da** casual, lives are at stake here." Surrots releases his zanpaktou.
"Slots of fate! Come on Jackpot!!!!"
Shimin slowly smiles and says,
"Hah, your way too serious, guy, it's bad for your health, so relax."
With that he slowly walks towards his opponent, and then suddenly changes to flash step, and take a vertical slash as if to try to end it in one blow, Surrots blocks, but barely. Surrots forces the block by pushing
with the blade, his hand bleeds even though it not sharp.
"DA** IT!!!!!! Your just too strong!" Surrots backs off, and sparks fly, then he shouts "Pull the lever!!! Come on Jack pot!!!"
He pulls a lever at the hilt of the his zanpaktou, it comes back with three symbols, all of them left hands with a circle and a diagonal slash through it like a no smoking sign. "Oh sh*t this is bad!!" he said as he watched his left hand fall off.
Shimin smiles and says,
"Man, it must really s^ck to be you, why not give up now, and we can forgo anymore pain you might feel. Continuing this fight is pointless, why not die peacefully by execution?"
Surrots pulls the lever again, this time it's a bleeding leg. Shimin falls while attempting his next charge.
"What the hell?! My da** leg, it's what the hell did you do?!!?!, fine take this, if you want it to end so bad."
Shimin leaps forward as fast he can on his injured leg, and with a flash step he hurls his zanpaktou at Surrots slashing the side of his throat.
"I am not done yet," and Surrots pull the lever again while running at his opponent directly, it's three bombs, then a huge explosion, and the blast send Shimin falling through a wall.
"How pathetic, his zanpaktou killed him." Shimin says while getting to his feet slowly and dusting himself off. "Why did he even bother trying this, if he wasn't able to even make me release my zanpaktou." Looking down at his leg, "Better get that looked at, I think I'll just as soon as I finish that smoke first though."
As Saikoro runs towards the final turn into the meeting hall and feels Surrots and Ru die. "It's just me now, come on Luck don't fail me now." He rounds the corner and sees the guards, and dispatches them both by gutting them as he runs by. He then runs inside and immediately falls to one knee, "Sh*t this spiritual pressure, it's way too much..."
A man standing next to what appears to be the Prince challenges Saikoro,
"It is a miracle you made it this far, the fact that you didn't lose consciousness is a testament to how lucky you are." The man starts walking toward Saikoro, " I am Ryu, Personal Bodyguard to the Prince, and these are his friends Moku and Noku, and you will not lay a finger on the Prince, it is my sworn duty to see he is not
touched by unclean hands on pain of death." He raises his zanpaktou to behead the assailant.
"NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!" Saikoro manages to roll the dice by trying with all every fiber in his being, "Come on 7!!!!!!!" It hits 7. " YES!!!! NO, YOUR FINISHED!!!!!" Just then the four of them dropped.
Squad 11's Captain Mugen, quickly followed by his lieutenant, arrive and both looked upon the scene in awe,
"What the hell?!?!? These three are supposed to be the biggest bad a**** in all of the Soul Society, and what the hell are these dice?!"
"Bloody hell," said Kurino, "are they all dead?"
"Looks there one who is still alive," said Mugan, as he sees Saikoro getting off the ground. "Leave this bad ** rabble
** traitor to me, you look to see if there anyone still alive who need help, Kurino.
"Will do." and Kurino immediately starts her search for the living.
Drawn by the commotion in the meeting hall, others start arriving, as Kurino spies the first one through the doors, she turns to the man and orders him to, "Get the medics!" As he turns to leave, she finds the Prince and his bodyguards, they were still barely alive, and with a shout commands him, "Quickly now! The Prince has been injured." The man hurriedly sped away on his errand.
With a cry of "TRAITOR!!!!!!!" Mugan rushes Saikoro, who raises his sword to parry. Mugen goes low and sweeps him, and Saikoro leaves his feet. Mugen then turns around and stabs him in the gut, running Saikoro through. Mugan looks down at the fallen traitor, Saikoro and says, "The least you can tell me is why you did all this."
Saikoro goes into a lengthy explanation, of how he and his two friends joined the 13 Court Squads to be able to help the poor people, such as their families, but found themselves not be able to, so they rebelled. In time, when they were able to communicate with their zanpaktou's, they found themselves cursed for their betrayal. How that there was someone in Seretei who gave them detailed maps and routes for where the guards would be a certain times, so that they could make their way to the meeting, and that someone let them in. All of which would remain a mystery for some time.
Later that evening after the invasion, the Seretei was still not at rest with all inquiries to all Squads and their possible roles in what happened. Yamamoto held a meeting with the captains and lieutenants to
conduct a formal Inquiry.
"Yuki Hana as captain of the advance guard, why was it not you, instead of Shimin that was the one who was
able to dispatch one of the assailants. He passed through your sector first." She sounded flustered as she replied, "I was totz at my station though, and so was Yoshikuni, but we didn't see anyone."
"Sir! It's like they knew how to get right around us without..." Yoshi added before being interrupted by Yamamoto.
"You will speak only when spoken to!!!!!" Yamamoto commanded.
The inquiry goes on for hours. The next interviewed was Squad 3.
"This is most disappointing. You, Kenshin, have been reliable for many years."
"I know sir, and I was patrolling my area.
"And your Lieutenant, where was she?"
"I don't know where Uru was."
"This is inexcusable, as a captain, you should know where his people are at all times! What do you have to say for yourself young lady?!" demands Yamamoto.
" I already told you when they found me, I had been attacked by that big guy! He nearly ripped my arm off! If I hadn't been there, the old man I saved would have died!"
"Watch your tone, Lieutenant!"
Sometime later, Squad 4 is called for questioning,
"Ayumi, it saddens me to say that because of the fact that you could not heal the Prince's condition, you are being banished from Soul Society." said Yamamoto.
"How can I or anyone else keep him from being turned into a Jin once the soul chain is broken?! How can it be my fault?"
Speaking out of turn, Rei said, "If she goes, then I do too."
"No, Rei don’t do it," cried out Ayumi.
"Do not throw away your career over this, we need you." Yamamoto said.
" I will follow my captain until the end!!!" Rei said throws his lieutenant arm band on the ground and storms out.
Then Shimin is brought in and Yamamoto yells at him,
"As for you, you weren't even in the right place commanding your troops! The only reason you won't be executed is because you dispatched one of the assailants."
"I was getting tired of this place anyway." responds Shimin.
"How disrespectful! Out of my sight!" roared Yamamoto.
After all this Mugen was questioned too, and in the end all the captains in question were banished for failing in their duties, their lieutenants followed them.
Elsewhere, the king has had his son the Prince, as well as Moku, Noku, and Ryu brought before him, all quietly await their fate. With a heavy heart the king rises and passes his judgment on them.
"You know now what you must do, as I cannot see myself killing my own son, so we will forgo that, but only because you are my son! You cannot stay now that your soul chain and soul sleep has been severed, and yet my son you live! That is the mark of the Jin, and with that I must banish you, not only from this castle, but also from the Soul Society itself. This is indeed a dark day for my kingdom, and the darkest day of my life. We lost so much, so many Captains and Soul Reapers, and the artifacts from Squad 12's lab' and to top it all off, I have lost my precious son."
Turning to the guards, he commanded, "Take them away!" and with that they were escorted from the palace and towards the doorway leading to the human world, while a father's heart quietly broke.
