The Nexus of Consciousness [Extension 1]

KISUKE = URAHARA Kisuke noted the spike in the creature’s brainwave patterns and allowed a ghost of a smile to form on his lips. While the result wasn’t exactly what he had intended for the experiment, that other brainwaves seemed to connect to the creature’s subconscious plain confirmed without a shadow of a doubt that it was indeed psychically capable. Despite the joy he’d felt when his hypothesis had become a workable theory, he still harboured concern as to those minds he accidentally called into the Dangai Spirit’s dream world. By the way it seemed, none of the newcomers had the same unique brainwave pattern as the creature’s own, and yet somehow the quantitative data from his computer showed that they were nonetheless compatible. The blonde was stumped at this unexpected turn of events, only for Kisuke’s curiosity to grow even more once aberrations entered into the spirit’s psychic link. He supposed that the event was probably caused by the influx of unexpected brainwaves which inadvertently hijacked similar brainwaves so long as they were remotely compatible with the subject. Desiring to test the extent for which these aberrant brainwaves went, Kisuke clacked away at his keyboard to run a simple combat test inside the Spirit’s brain by stimulating its aggressive impulses. At once, a mental image of the Dangai Spirit appeared in the dreamscape and and didn't hesitate to attack the intruders with its claws.

His eyes faltered as his head met his pillow. The only thing that he looked forward to today was now his. Ryohei smiled as he thought about his day, the amount of work and papers that he had to fill out. Though he did enjoy his daily rounds and training with his friends, but now that it was night, all he wanted to do was sleep. He didn't complain like most of the shinigami that were disgruntled about their work, in fact he enjoy it to an extent, but who didn't like to sleep. Thinking about his day, his eyes fell to their bottoms hard.

The next thing he knew, Ryohei found himself in a wasteland, seemingly by himself. Of course he had dreams before, but this time he felt different. Most of his dreams included his family, mostly his parents. He dreamed about the past, how he used to play with his parents every chance he got, when his father used to train his sister and himself in combat. The very thought made him smile. But this time it felt real, like he could control every aspect of what he was doing, though Ryohei thought it was pretty cool. The way everything felt was so natural, like he was actually in the real world. But now a question rose out of him. Why was he here? Ryohei looked around and tried to make sense of what was happening. Was there some type of reason why this was happening? Was this a ploy of some sorts? While these questions were roaming through his head, he heard yelling and explosions coming from afar, almost like a battle that was taking place. The amount of spiritual pressure that was coming from the area looked like there were multiple people involved. While running towards the situation, Ryohei hoped that he could finds some answers as to what was going on.

As he arrived, he witnessed the battle that was taking place. Four people facing off with what looked like some kind of demon or spirit. Whatever it was, it was fearsome and he was ready to help however he could. He found his way towards the other attackers and faced the demon. "Well, we are in a bit of trouble aren't we?" Ryohei smiled as his new friends. As much as he wanted to know what was going on, it seemed that it was going to have to wait until the beast was vanished. One could say that Ryohei never liked to fight; but he liked to protect those close to him. He held the hilt of his zanpakuto and pulled it out and faced his opponent. Ryohei smiled, hoping that whatever he was doing was the right thing. He wasn't scared for two reasons. One, he was sure that this was a dream, so there couldn't be any real consequences towards him in the real life, at least that's what he thought. And two, he was trained to keep his nerves calm under pressure, although it was certainly hard to in the presence of such a terror. And he was certainty not going to let his new friends see his fear. 


As he stood his ground, he noticed the barrier that was planted around the monster and looked at it closely. Was it something that could be broken through with just attacks, or was it something much more powerful? Ryohei glared the monster, as he did with all of his opponents. He liked to ask many and various kinds of questions that could seemingly help him in his fight. It often proved helpful, but it did leave him look like he was lost towards the people he was fighting with. It was also another when fighting , he didn't know who these people were. He didn't know of their abilities or how skillful they were. Could he go and attack the beast with everything he had, or did he have to spend the fight protecting the people who couldn't? He didn't mean it as they weren't capable of protecting themselves, as protect someone was always first nature to him. Hopefully they would understand that.


After he examined the barrier, Ryohei smiled and thought to himself. "The best way to reveal a great defense is to attack with a great offense." Ryohei wasn't too eager with his movements, but after awhile, he jumped towards the monster and took out his zanpakuto. "Forgive the good, and strike the evil, Raikoutenmei" His zanpakuto changed formed, into a double edged nagamaki, as an electric aura formed around him. Ryohei knew that he wasn't strong enough to take out something like this without his shikai, so he was going to have to use his full strength from the start. He started imagining what it would be like to learn bankai, to have such incredible power that it would be no problem to take this thing out. But that was his arrogant side talking, it was the kind of behavior that he didn't really like from himself. He learned from the past that people who want power and get, usually want more and seeing that close and personal, it wasn't going to let that happen to him.

Holding his zanpakuto in front of him, he spun it around very quickly and yelled his attack out loud. "Amatsu Rakurai" Stands of lightning were produced from his blade and flew towards the enemy with pinpoint precision, locating his joints. It wasn't a very powerful attack, but he needed to see what it could do and hopefully provoke enough so that it would do something. Though something crossed his mind as he did this. Looking at his friends, he should have created some kind of plan with them. If they were going to win, they were going to need to work together in order for this to work, If not, then he wasn't sure if they were going to get through this, whether it was a dream or not. "Now come on." Ryohei smiled at the beast.

His attacks hit the spirit flawlessly but overall it didn't do any help, though Ryohei kept being positive, again thinking of ways of how he could take this thing down. But something caught his attention, a figure appearing from the corner of his eye. Ryohei could only smile, seeing as how they had more help and support against the beast. As he felt like he needed to update the newcomer with important information, Ryohei went back to the human and stood his ground while facing the beast. But before he could say anything, the man was already on the attack, as a flurry of attacks had ripped through the beast and seemingly killed the monster with little ease. He had never seen anything like that before, except rumors of captains who had that kind of power. While the battlefield went silent and free of the spirit, Ryohei's shocked expression disappeared from his face and was soon replaced by a relieved look, though he was still pretty impressed from the show that the newcomer put on. "Well, I'm glad that worked out." Ryohei chuckled and faced the newcomer. "Thanks for your help, something told me that we would be here all day if it wasn't for you." Ryohei smiled as he sheathe his zanpakuto and looked around the landscape, witnessing the various people that hopefully felt like they accomplished something. But what was that thing and where where they? He and probably the rest of the group had the same question.

Suddenly something gained his attention. A man in a weird attire with a hat flicked in and out of existence until he was fully there. Ryohei's shocked expression returned as he realized who this person was and smiled. He listened to Kisuke, an infamous legend and probably one of  smartest men he knew about, explained about his experiment and how they got here. Ryohei understood perfectly, relieved to hear that they weren't in any real danger. Ryohei then examined the figure that appeared beside Urahara, the same spiritthat they had fought just awhile ago, now called Manabu. Ryohei smiled, chucking at the fact that now that it had a name, it didn't seem so scary anymore. Although it would be a different story if Urahara decided to sick him on the group. The question ran though Ryohei's mind. He was sure if would remember something like this before, a spirit with such power and presence. As hard he could he searched through his head, but sadly there was no relocation of the beast and he shakes his head. "No, I don't think I have. What is it? Was it something that you created?"
