The Journey to Karakura

[THEFROST] · Tue Apr 15, 2014 9:18 pm

Many could say they had been to this location before, Tsubasa was one of few who could not. The senkaimon opened slowly in the living world his pressure was limited by the seal but it was still massive. Like an ocean had arrived in the location, he stepped out now as his haori blew in the breeze. Tsubasa walked forward now taking in each thing with his crimson orbs. His Zanpakutō at his side should such a thing be required, Tsubasa could of hid his presence but that wasn't the point of this. The Yuudeshi brothers both knew who he was, he'd been made pretty well known after the promotion. They were well aware of him he was certain of that fact, his eyes closed as he waiting quietly. Tsubasa's power was thick and rich as it flooded the area of Karakura, he'd come here alone for the most part. Would anyone of been guiding him, that wasn't something needed for the meeting here he expected would be different. Tsubasa had lost his careless ideals that didn't have realism in them. He had matured before coming here, training the Captains each for the days to come.

This wasn't just a growth process for him but a things that helped him turn into a man. Tsubasa had matured and the murderous aura that once seemed to come from him had died down. He seemed tame almost for now, much had happened and Tsubasa the monster stood waiting. When one looked into his eyes they saw it still. But something else lingered there within his gaze, the eyes of a Captain Commander. Tsubasa had matured into the role and seemed to of changed more as he learned about it. Captains within the Gotei 13 had learned the truth about him, Zeda Yuudeshi being one of them. His eyes closed waiting for someone to arrive he was certain that someone would show up. His power was large enough that it could be felt from a great distance without much effort. He was also making sure to put out enough they could find him with little trouble. The surroundings faded as he went back to the time long ago. Tsubaki he'd finally made her proud and he could feel it.

A murderer had become a hero and changed his stars. This wasn't something that many could lay claim too, but the Unabara Clan had evolved past the Zeraki District and become honorable Soul Reapers. Using moves and skills that few others could match, martial combat and prowess as warriors. They were still very much killers practicing the art of killing without a sound. He remembered the many battles they fought after the key one were he did what he had on purpose. Tsubasa had allowed himself to be bait and draw danger from his family. Before he realized that the monster within him would not be extinguished so easily. The number thrown at him Death wasn't about numbers it was skill and the power to execute the perfect kill was something his family practiced for years. They turned from farmers into these cold blooded killers. Environments controlled the outcome of people's lives and the fact was that evolving from the boy to the killer. That was something he absolutely had no choice but to do.

Tsubasa exhaled a breath before quietly pondering what would come next. His presence here wasn't something that came without a cost. Tsubasa didn't generally like leaving the Gotei 13, but he trusted them with the duty of killing anyone dumb enough to fight them. He'd trained them well and each were excellent warriors, now did he worry about someone attacking him. They knew perfectly well what Tsubasa was capable of. So engaging him here wouldn't be something anyone would want. Because Tsubasa could inflict enough damage to the planet itself that most wouldn't like it. His crimson eyes opened for a moment, this world was a fragile place. He didn't know such worlds existed in the living, he was so used to the world of which he'd grew up in. No frailty to be seen, men were born to be killers. Woman and children alike taught the ideal of killing the enemy without holding back. It was what was required to survive but those days gone. The Age of Hell for the Unabara had passed and though few made it through.

The times were changing and in this day and age, those who were killers. Murderers of the weak that couldn't stand upon the grounds with them. They were heroes and would save this land no matter what happened. Tsubasa wasn't likely to change his mind, things needed to change. They needed to be ready for war no matter what came, he simply came to let Vanguard, Yayjuu, and Vizard Corps know his message. When that was done perhaps he'd visit his daughter if time would allow him such a luxury. Tsubasa hadn't seen Kita in a long time, since the war when he showcased his powers and deadly skills. He'd seen her before it's happening and wasn't sure what to think. He knew she wasn't far perhaps upon feeling her father's presence she would find him. It was something to think about of course, he had much on his plate as the Leader of the Gotei 13. He was one of the only pure Shinigami strong enough to handle this job, but other things were on his mind as of late.

The sun was beginning to give way to the night sky as sunset swept over the vast metropolis known as Karakura Central. Stars twinkled in the distance, while the shining lights of the city began to come to life. All throughout the streets rows and rows of neon lights made the concrete jungle like a beacon of light. Increased numbers of citizens were starting to come out from their homes to partake in the nightlife, while the security in the city doubled it's patrol. Shinigami, Iramashsa, Vizards, Ziamichi, Humans and every race in between those whom were apart of The Vanguard, The Yayjuu, The Vizard Corps, Gotei 13, Iramasha Clan and all the smaller factions intertwined into these cluster of organizations were forming a colossal military effort with the armed forces of Japan in order to keep the city streets safe with the assistance of The Yuudeshi Network going into play. All throughout the alleyways there were soldiers, warriors and armed men ready, willing and able to try and put a curb out to any problems that may arise after the increased incidents occurring in Karakura Central.

With that said, there was obviously a level of guarded security around the metropolis as they were sprung into the new year with the threat of World War following the larger than life battle that took place in the hellish sands of Australia. The dome that shielded the city was working overtime as it sought to protect the citizens. Constant attacks from Hollows and Demons were becoming more rampant within and around the city walls. Therefore, some sort of action had to take place and the rapid deployment of these forces were the answer to that problem. So as the citizens partook in the night air, they'd take for granted how much effort went into ensuring that the stability of Karakura Central's integrity was not comprised.

Thusly, it is along these lines that The Yuudeshi Network zoomed in a wealth of spiritual pressure coming in a portion of Karakura City near the edge of the city limits. It brought an eyebrow to raise across that pale face of The Beast of Karakura, otherwise known as Karakura Central. For the time being? He was currently sitting in one of many bases scattered throughout Karakura Central that The Yuudeshi Clan had invested in. Contained within a dark room upon a high-rise building, he'd have the neon lights of numerous holograms to keep him company as he was busy researching, browsing the virtual web and handling the affairs of The Yayjuu, Yuudeshi Network and even the very international affairs of Japan. Most of all, however, he just needed a bit of a break and decided this was the best way to go about while still being proactive in his slumber.

Nevertheless, as this crimson eyes of his gazed upon the radar output sensing Tsubasa's spiritual energy, he'd ponder why The Captain Commander had even bothered to visit such a place. Surely it wasn't just for tea and crumpets if his reiatsu was flaring all over the place in such an unflattering manner. Thus, as The Albino would stand up, he'd put up a notice to the Yuudeshi Network's broadcasting system that he'd handle whatever The First Division Captain was seeking to do. So to that end? He'd pinpoint the vicinity in which he detected his presence with additional sensory help from the Yuudeshi Network. Once locked on, all that was required of Shadin was to piece together his infamous teleporation kido in order to patch a wormhole from his base to The Unabara's range.

Sucking his teeth out minor agitation, he'd hope this visit was well worth his time as The Beast was a very busy man and didn't have time to waste on something irrelevant. So for the sake of The Captain -- this better be good. Henceforth, with this begrudging thoughts on his mind, Shadin picked up a white cane in the corner nearby and took his trusty heaven's walker with him as he stepped forth into the bright portal. After a few seconds of travel, he'd more than arrive in a burst of white light behind the likes of The Leader of the Gotei 13 and have a somewhat irritated sigh escape his mouth.

If The Captain were to turn his head around now? He'd notice that The Yuudeshi was there in the flesh. Wearing nothing more than a white and grey vertically striped shirt, a pair of similarly shaded silver pants and a matching set of black shoes; there obviously wasn't anything too flashy about the man's attire, despite how much build-up there was towards the titles which referenced The Beast of Karakura. "The Mind of God", "One Of The Strongest Ziamichi", "The Most Powerful Force in Karakura Central"; other sorts of insane claims made by those who have engaged, research or heard of Shadin Yuudeshi all had these ties associated with his reputation. So as the two well classed males stood among one another near the outskirts of Karakura Central, there was obviously quite the tension in the air as their two energies swirled around like an unsettling pressure.

One collection of energy was very untamed, unkempt and filled with the persona of the killer. While the newly arrived force from Shadin was more subtle, but had the pulsation that if pushed -- something more profound would arise and seek to consume all that dared stood in it's way. Within it's intent was the very real resolve that it may very well sink it's fangs into the Earth once more -- least it consume yet another continent as it did in the infamous war of Australia. As for the citizens that inhabited this metropolis? It was a very good thing that these males were very isolated from the main population centers for the time being.

"Yo." That simple phrase would be the first line of introduction given to Tsubasa by Shadin; appearing within the blink of an eye to his front side. Now leaning further on Heaven's Walker, Shadin rubbed his hair and let out a soft sigh before staring The Commander in the face. "I'm not one to waste a persons time, and I'd hope you'd have the same tact not to waste my own. So tell me, Mr.Shinigami Of Shinigami, what in the sam hell brings you here? I highly doubt that you came here to share milk and cookies with me." Having set the ground rules already, Shadin seemed to be in a hurry and wanted to get down to business with why he was here to begin with. With all of that said, he'd await to see what the Shinigami's answer would be. If given an unsatisfying answer? He'd straight up leave him if his interest wasn't invested in this conversation.

[THEFROST] · Tue May 06, 2014 1:30 pm

Tsubasa knew Shadin had arrived, the Beast and Pale Rider stood near one another. His energy vanished off the map without a problem, Tsubasa had no problems sheathing his power. He let it flow on purpose just so Shadin would come, this had been after his naming of the position. Tsubasa wanted to keep this short and simple, he quietly turned and faced the male who had come. Fast as always, Tsubasa was impressed by his speed as always. Shadin was well himself, he'd heard reports this was what he should of been expecting. But none the less it wasn't as though things here were going to be simple. Would Shadin agree with Tsubasa that the alliance needed to be stronger, perhaps not but that wasn't the point of things. The Beast of Karakura was someone Tsubasa believed would understand, Tsubasa spoke calmly as he explained his presence. He didn't send others to do his job, this was Tsubasa's job and nobody else would do it. The Captain Commander had a role to play and he would play it to the best.

"I don't send others to meet with leaders, I do it myself.." It was simple and to the point as Tsubasa stood and looked at Shadin calmly, they'd both proven their metal at the battle of Australia. Tsubasa proved that this killer of men had a puzzle to him that nobody had seen before. Kisuke, Unohana, so far nobody had been able to read into him. He was complicated and perhaps that was the best way for a person to be. "When you fight we will come, I came to extend an alliance." Tsubasa was quiet and perhaps puzzling he didn't say much unless he had to do so, Shadin perhaps would understand but it wasn't something many people enjoyed dealing with. As it made the blonde haired male far harder to read than people realized. Kisuke Urahara someone who he heard taught Shadin couldn't read him, most machines couldn't figure Tsubasa out either. But it wasn't a matter of him being hard to understand, Tsubasa made his point fairly clear. They weren't able to execute properly as he raised his hand slightly and a nanobot emerged from his body and flew over to Shadin.

"It has our plans and tech I've designed to allow us to communicate more seamlessly, I'm certain you can improve upon it. Tsubasa knew well enough Shadin was highly intellectual and though the designs of his nanobots were very complicated and yet elegant. Shadin had designed things far better with his own methods, Tsubasa simply stood waiting the final piece of the puzzle. The Yuudeshi Brothers were part of the alliance that were somewhat obvious. Tsubasa was doing this for a reason few others could of, he was making sure that Shadin was alright with the idea of an alliance. Neither one of them wished to waste time, and he didn't come for what did Shadin call it? Milk and Cookies, whatever those were it wasn't something he had time to figure out or investigate. But this wasn't the time to discuss bad food and odd dairy products from cows. Crimson orbs remained unreadable as he waited for Shadin's response to the question.

Things weren't to be very complicated were they? Shadin seemed like a rather easy person to understand, Tsubasa could relate to him somewhat. Trying to protect everything was tiring the Beast of Karakura was obviously a busy man but that wasn't the point of it all. Tsubasa was thinking back on some of the event's he'd concluded and how much effort he'd put into training the Captains for whatever would come. Right after the Iramasha leader's agreed to the alliance, Tsubasa brought forward he did learn several things. The alliance was simply the end to allow them to remain connected, Tsubasa's nanobot's were used for a couple purposes as he looked towards the sky. It seemed more colorful among humans than that of the Shinigami. Their world felt different and besides it was more comfortable, but maybe that was just part of the allure or he didn't get out enough. Tsubasa wasn't going to judge either way, he was simply going to take Shadin's answer.

Zin Yuudeshi it had been sometime since Tsubasa saw Shadin's brother, he heard that two brothers of Shadin were present. He began to think upon his own family, Tsunashi and Pest where his family and both were troubling children. But that wasn't the point of it, Tsubasa was the middle child who overcame everything really. He wasn't someone to give up and instead of saying he was going to do it, he did it than said it. That was Tsubasa's way of handling situations and it wasn't one that people were always found of. But the fact of the matter was, that Tsubasa was hardly one to give up on anything that wasn't easy. Tsunashi his younger brother, the youngest of the three was well let's say a handful. Tsubasa could relate to Shadin in the way that family was troubling to them, they always had to come in and save the day. Or stop some monster from breaking through the fabric of things. It wasn't something very fun to deal with and well simply put it was a very tiresome bug.

The tiredness was now truly seeping into the eyes of The Beast. Darkened rings were seen coming into view around his eyelids. Many nights of constant meetings, endless virtual paperwork, international affairs, management of The Yayjuu, the handling of The Yuudeshi Clan and everything else in between were steadily beginning to catch up to him. In this time of idle peace, while a majority of people weren't paying much mind to the state of conflict outside the walls; Shadin was doing his best to make preparations, create new allies, balance the peace within his factions and ultimately keep on a lid himself and his people to ensure the world transitions smoothly into this new age. The coming months were going to be ones that would be horribly challenging to all those who call this planet their home, The Yuudeshi Network itself made no doubt about that. However, even throughout all this work and despair, The Imaginary Wielder would not falter. He'd simply keep pressing forward the best way he could, use the best of his resources and utilize the prime wealth of power vested within his body to hope everything else would fall into place.

For this reason, The Yuudeshi seemed to willing accept the cooperation between their people -- even if they already were working together on the frontlines within planet Earth. To him? It could never hurt to have more allies with how many enemies this man had.Indeed, there was always some henchmen, diabolical plan or researcher trying to kidnap or kill The Beast for the sake of understanding more about his powers, dissecting his brain and making The Yuudeshi's power their own. There were so many enemies that were after the male, that even on the flipside of the coin, however, he was always weary of those even close to him. So perhaps the old saying "keep your friends close, but your enemies closer" rang true in the sense that The Beast always kept close tabs on those even within his own circles. There was no telling when, who or where a person might turn traitor. Thus, in The Yuudeshi's head, it may be best to keep this alliance up if for nothing else but to watch for suspicious activity among those who he would call comrades and allies

"Well, how very gracious of you to visit little ol' me like this." Sounding semi-sarcastic at this point, that was just apart of Shadin's dry-humor when his mind and body were pressed into overdrive like this. Therefore, behind everything else said in that statement, there was a very high sense of tiredness exhaled in his voice. Rubbing the unkempt hairs on his head, Shadin rubbed his eyes to flick the crust out of them and he'd sigh a bit out of irritation as he still felt very flustered, overworked and saw no end to the after-math associated with Australia. Even as they spoke now? He was guiding armed drones, robotics and divisions of men to deal with leftover flack and fallout associated with terrorist groups, rebel formations and other kinds of demonic and hollow threats that were beginning to become increasingly present within the wastelands of Australia and the cities in which more villainous foes claimed. So to say that even his rest state he was unproductive -- would be akin to saying that water is actually fire.

"Bullshit aside, I'll accept this alliance. It never hurts to have a group of psychopathic men with swords and superpowers ready to pounce on anything that moves in the night. I could use that sort of company with the foes we have and I'm certain you can use the the untamed fury of the human race to assist with some of the targets you have in mind." After finishing making that idle-chit chat, Shadin decided to pay attention to the nanobot heading towards him. Focusing in on it by altering the scope of his vision through his cybernetic brain hardening the lens behind his eyes, The Beast of Karakura assumed that it would be better for it to be injected into something external rather than being inserted into himself.

Therefore, as the nanomachine started making it's way towards Shadin, Tsubasa would more than likely since the trace release of a faint unleashing of spiritual energy from The Beast. Each of The Yuudeshi's eyes flashed a bright blue during this time and his mind was going to work with his infamous ability: "Imaginary Computation". Through making the needed calculations and estimates forged from the blueprints within his cybernetic mind, Shadin produced a miniature computer for the nanobot from Tsubasa to enter. Instantly connecting it to the Yuudeshi Network and his own mind, Shadin would have it's contents shift over safely into his databanks -- that is after a bit of scanning.

Indeed, even in this movement, Shadin was rather skeptical and wanted to air on the side of caution. Henceforth, a virus scan of sorts was produced as a result of this suspicious nature beginning to take root within himself. In a matter of seconds the procedure would analyze, sort and filter out any external influences and safely allow the information to pass through without any sort of malice software making it's way into the network or The Yuudeshi himself. Thus, when everything was settled, Shadin became aware of the plans Tsubasa was forging and simply gave a nod of his head to signify his approval of them once the process had ended.

"Fair enough, anything that needs to be said will be conveyed across our network through this device." Beginning to walk past Tsubasa, the tapping sounds of Shadin's Heaven Walker started to echo throughout the area as another white portal blared open and blew all sorts of newspaper away like dust in the wind from it's wake. Taking a sharp glance at Tsubasa, Shadin would nod his head and say this much before returning back to his manor: "You should watch your back. My Network has already estimated a colossal attack of some sort is imminent in either of our realms that we watch other." Nodding his head towards all the flying hovercraft in the sky, if Tsubasa were to pay attention? He'd notice that they all had The Yayjuu, Gotei 13, Vizard Corps and Vanguard symbols engraved on them.

"I've increased my patrol, heightened my security systems and I am expanding my wealth of allies. You should do the same. This isn't the time to become become lax, comrade. One false move in this war and your world will be crushed, crumbled and taken over without so much of a single breathe to yell if you plan ill prepared. Bare that in mind when moving forward in the future, Shinigami. So take care of yourself" With that said, Shadin would give the wave of his right arm to signify his "good-bye" of sorts and allow the nanomachine that was injected into his microscopic computer to convey the rest of his message. There were still many casualties to deal with associated with the state of the world and Shadin couldn't sit by and idly chit-chat. Therefore, he'd hope the male would understand that he had places to be, objectives to clear and people to manage. If not -- well that would be on him to deal with.

[EXIT THE THREAD]

[THEFROST] · Sat May 17, 2014 3:02 pm

He didn't speak much, Tsubasa's goal was completed as he closed those crimson orbs. Listening letting the words of the long time leader Shadin Yuudeshi be passed on to him. Tsubasa wasn't the one to forget such knowledge, he was right and Shadin had the right idea. Tsubasa was trying to gather allies, to prepare for a battle. He sensed on the horizon, Iriko was one problem child in his org. But all people had them, he glanced down at his hand now. Looking towards the horizon, a future was coming something new. Something that would change the game, the world would become a better place with or without him. Tsubasa would do what he could to bring this place to the next level. His eyes looked as he pulled his sword out slowly, his daughter was nearby. Yes she was here in this city, he wished to spend time with his beloved Kita. But he needed to be a leader, put aside the desires he had for now. It was hard to be the man who carried the weight of the Gotei 13, his training and life style would change.

A senkaimon opened with a flash of light, he walked in before closing the gate. Tsubasa stepped in as the gate was closing he walked through the passage between worlds. His orbs of crimson were staring ahead with an emptiness to them that couldn't be described as anything more than what he planned to be, Tsubasa couldn't slip out of the darkness no that wasn't the answer. He was getting closer to finding the absolute perfection of himself, he was reaching an inner peace that few others could. Tsubasa wasn't to be taken lightly in any regard, he was considered among the strongest soul reapers. He'd trained harder than anyone else and pushed himself to the limit. Iriko was right on one thing, force wasn't the answer. Tsubasa had the words of that young reaper in his mind. Long ago he'd made a tragedy come about, it wouldn't happen again. Not on his watch, he would prevent it no matter what he had to do. Tsubasa wasn't one for pity, he was feeling it draw near. He had plans as he got ready to arrive back home, the time of meetings was done.

Shadin and Zin Yuudeshi, they would be the allies that made the difference. Though many others existed, the time was drawing near, the conflict was close. He decided to stop letting his back rest against the side of the wall, his orbs closing now as he drifted into thought. The first time he'd gotten to be alone in so long, Tsubasa wasn't the same man who became a Captain. He was the killer who embraced himself as a hero, he fought to be something more. He tried to survive the world's cruelest fates. He was a loser learned to care for the soul inside of him, he didn't give his heart to anyone. He tried to slip out of the loneliness that he bathed in, being alone was something he couldn't escape. He was alone in a room of people, he was alone no matter how often he thought about it. He looked at his hand, the blood would never come off. Tsubasa accepted it, he was on his way to something important. Securing the future, the future that would guide them to victory.

The future was a thing he couldn't really place bets on, Kisuke Urahara. That man had helped him, his father in law and Ukitake. They helped him learn everything he needed to know, helping him come to be the Commander. The role had learned from him as he got ready, Tsubasa brought hand up to his face. Running his hand along his eyes as he thought for a bit. Solitude was something hard to come by now, he couldn't sit in his thoughts as he once did. It was as though he was breaking into the world of hate that people were surrounded by. His heart wondered though, what would happen the day he left. The day that the Unabara Clan left this place, the day they were no longer the guardians. Did such a future exist for this place? Not yet, Ibiki had put her body and soul in his care. He wouldn't fail her, he would not fail her as he did Tsubaki. This wouldn't be a show that was forgotten. He could spend sometime here, between the worlds to do something rare.

Thinking about everything, all the moves that could be made. Everything Mana, Khala, and those beings could do. He'd left information on the foes he met in the Gold Coast at the hands of Shadin. His crimson eyes looked on ahead, they turning blue for a moment. Lighting roared through out the entire place as he closed them calming himself. He hadn't gotten it yet, the control of his power was harder than most people could realize. Tsubasa was a storm being held in a bottle, sooner or later the bottle would break. Or he'd unseal it and allow it all out, he walked now continuing towards the destination. Now fear of whatever was to come, the future held it's own realities and he would face them. The Gotei 13 would activate something that would never be forgotten, his hands slowly clenched into fists as he looked ahead now. The bright light at the end of this tunnel, it was the future losers didn't write history. The Gotei 13 couldn't afford to be losers, no matter how dark he had to become.

They had to win.
