BREAK IN [P]

[attr="class","arilyrics"]Welcome to the end of eras

[attr="class","aritext"]Crumbs fell down to the ground as Arashi took another bite of his sandwich. He had been eating his food at his current residence when he felt the presence of two individuals coming his way. He never looked up to address them only to continue eating his food absentmindedly. However he brought his gaze up once they had begun to speak to him. Crunch crunch. He took another bite of his sandwich listening as the one Spartan to the left told him that he was being summoned by their leader. Arashi didn’t think much of it as he finished off the last bite of his snack. He merely waved his hand to them and nodded.


As the turned their backs on him he got to his feet to follow them. The Shinigami was amongst many that were not his kind. In fact he fought many individuals like them. He was always on the good guy side he thought, trying to protect those he cared about, until the day he couldn’t. It wasn’t too long ago when he failed his mission against Tyrannus. There wasn’t much he could do to protect the others, instead he coerced them into taking him with their group.


This came with a price. Arashi thought back as he walked with the guards. His betrayal that day did not sit well with his comrades especially with Blod. Deep inside he regretted what he did to her but it was for the best. If he could not beat those he went up against then maybe it was time to join them. He wanted to see what made them so much stronger and he wanted to confirm his doubts about the Gotei thirteen. As he came back to the present he thought about how for months he had been contemplating what side he was really on.


Soul society had been eliminating hollows, bounts, and others just because they felt that was the only way to keep the balance. He understood why they felt that way but he wasn’t sure that was his path to go down. So he had decided to try and enlighten his world; even if it was to cost his life. He also intended to do it so he could find a way to keep those he cared for close. He had lost a lot of his family and friends in the past couple months; all he wanted was to keep them alive.


There was a light coming from a large room that illuminated the hallway he was walking from and as he crossed the threshold he could see their leader. He could see her dressed in a revealing fashion while standing close to a throne. He held back a scoff at the thought of this being her throne room. Arashi wasn’t too sure of this leader but he also could tell her methods were effective. After all she had some peculiar monsters in her group. He walked a little closer to the woman before he addressed her.


“They said you wanted to see me?”

[attr="class","aritext"]He took a couple moments to just listen to the woman speak. She needed his assistance getting into soul society. It was certainly asking for trouble doing that especially considering both of them would obviously be on the kill list. “So all you’re wanting to do is deliver a message to them?” He couldn’t help the smile that graced his features. “That’s definitely an insane to want. I mean even if I got us in, which I can, it’s a suicide mission. We’re talking about all of the captains, the captain commander, and all of the peons.”


He took a brief pause to pace back and forth in front of her. This wasn’t a simple request to just go on some trip out of town. No this was a request to go into a war zone and manage not to die. By this time he knew that they would find a way to block him from getting into their realm the normal way. Arashi knew that he still had his black iron portal there though and that unless someone had found it, it would still be of use.


“I can get us in there with a portal and I can also get us out. It’s not going to be easy though because once we’re in we have to be careful not to raise any alarms. You want to send them a message, how? You want to kill them? Cause that’s definitely going to complicate things.” He stopped pacing to look her in the eyes. “What’s your plan?”

[attr="class","arilyrics"]Welcome to the end of eras

[attr="class","aritext"]He had to bite his tongue to avoid laughing. The captains were of no concern? She was not afraid to speak her mind that was for certain. She also seemed to no lack of confidence. In a way he admired it even if it made her come off as a bit insane. He knew that if it came down to it then he might have to do more than just take her there. If he was really going to be her ally he would have to help her against the captains. Arashi remembered the time he went against a captain, Toshiro. He only sparred with him but the young captain was quite ready. None of the captains really knew their strength.


He made a small nod as he thought about it more. All they had to do was get in, hide, and send a message. It would be one of the simplest missions he had ever gone on and yet also one of the most complicated ones. The man let out an exasperated sigh. “Alright, I can get us in with this.” He reached into his clothing and pulled out a small black orb. “It’s something I got a long time ago to get to Soul Society or Hueco Mundo. It’ll get us in undetected for the most part but we’ll just really need to be careful about keeping compressed.”


He begun to activate the orb causing it to turn into a disc. Arashi begun to compress his spiritual energy as he tossed the disc onto the ground. “Whenever we go through this we will end up in Soul Society. More specifically we will end up in my own private barracks in the fifth division. No one knows about the portal being there so it should be fine. I’ll go through first just in case, when I go through wait maybe a minute before following me so I can make sure everything is fine. At least that way if they are waiting there it’ll just be me getting attacked.” He wanted to make it obvious that while he was a new recruit he wasn’t intending on letting the group’s leader get attacked randomly. This would hopefully gain her trust.

[attr="class","aritext"]He shrugged his shoulders with a smile. Fine if she wanted to go together that was fine. He’d fight by her side if need be. There was a bit of worry at the back of his mind that he hid behind his smile. He didn’t fully trust her or the situation she was putting them in. Yet what else was there to really do in this world? He had failed against them before, now it was time to work with them and see what they were trying to accomplish. “Let’s go then.” He made sure to walk with her to go through the portal.

On the other side was his old room. Everything was still the same other than a few papers and clothes tossed around. It looked as if there wasn’t really a cause for alarm though. Arashi already had his reiatsu compressed to the lowest of levels, he wasn’t worried about being detected by anyone or anything. After he had looked around his room he looked over to his leader who should have arrived with him. He wanted to get this done and over with as quick as possible. It was time to deliver their message to the Gotei Thirteen.

[attr="class","aritext"]He stayed by the female as she delivered her message. It was clear that her intents were only to deliver a message to them, she wasn’t lying. It went on only for a couple minutes, the back and forth between them. Arashi never felt a force coming towards them either it seemed they weren’t interested in capturing them at the moment. However once it was all over he was ready to go. There couldn’t be any hesitation, he looked at her as the conversation ended and begun to open up the portals out of there.

“I take it that you’re done with your speech. So I say let’s get out of this place before they find us.” He stood beside the portal waiting for her to go through first. “Ladies first.” He spoke nonchalantly even while they were in the enemies’ territory. The man took one more glance at his old barracks. He’d miss living here even though it wasn’t always the easiest place to live it was still one of the best. He would miss his friends and comrades. However it was time to move onto the next chapter, which was beyond the portals, it was time for them to go back.

[attr="class","aritext"]He walked through to the other side. Standing there before them both were the soldiers that followed her lead and someone he had not yet met before. Of course she was ahead of him by a moment so after he refocused his eyes he saw her standing there awaiting his presence. Before he spoke he took the time to close up the portal and slide the small object back into his pocket. It wasn’t going to be of much use to him anymore it seemed because in a short amount of time they would ransack his barracks. That was something he was sure of. He’d take care of that at a later time though.

“Well, I delivered on my end. So, hopefully this isn’t the part where you all slaughter me for being a Shinigami.” He let a sly grin appear. If there was ever a time for the stuff to hit the fan it was now. Especially being out numbered and in relatively unfamiliar territory. Arashi looked from one soldier to the other until he rested on the leader, and waited for her response.
