Mock Battle: The Emperor of Blades Arrives

Tsubasa's eyes locked on the figure of the white Haori. Enter a man with an interesting resume to speak of. Now the question raised was did Tsubasa know about Carter? The answer was a yes as Carter certainly knew about him. Tsubasa had knowledge of every single Captain since this organization's inception. He may not have been present for all of them. But he did remember each one's name and some traits about them. Carter's case was interesting as when Tsubasa was the Captain Commander at the time. He made the choice to bet on Carter's potential for the future. On his waist hung the wakizashi that hadn't been used in combat just yet. Tsubasa's skills indicated he could fight with both hands evenly. "They are free to leave. My business is not with them but the Captain's of the Gotei 13.." His eyes were determined and focused on the figure of Carter. "I'll give you an option they can leave or I destroy this entire area and then we leave.." He said before bringing his Zanpakutō to rest on his shoulder. Tsubasa wasn't threatening as it was very clear destroying this place would be child's play. He watched as he closed his eyes for a moment exhaling a breath. Slowly the spiritual pressure resided a bit as he let them off. He had no interest in the small fries at all. Tsubasa was here to judge Captains not the minions under them. In some ways, he was the measuring stick for what a Captain should be. His son was to measure their combat effectiveness without Captains. His daughter would handle the officers that were below Vice Captain level. And others waited in the wings to ride her should she require it. He waited calmly as he watched everything moving and going around him. The Blade's goal had been settled before this began as he knew they lacked something. The Gotei 13 had forgotten an important lesson and the Unabara's duty as nobles were to ensure they remembered it. The organization's Captains were the ones who needed to be reminded first.

Once he was sure they were gone he brought his sword from his shoulder slowly. The people had helped one another out those who didn't flee passed. Those who merely ran his eyes locked on slowly as he sighed shaking his head. Fear had overtaken them like chickens with their heads cut off. They ran without caring if they trampled the man next to them. The move that happened would be hard for even Carter to follow. Tsubasa's footwork was superb as he moved and stopped a horde of them. "You would trample your brother out of fear of an enemy..instead of aiding his withdraw. He struggles to stand after feeling my pressure and yet as he pleads it falls on deaf ears." Tsubasa's tone was angry above all else. It was clear the Former Head Captain's anger was directed solely on this fearful batch. One of them made a bad choice of attacking him. Fear drove men to do things they needed to understand. He caught the blade between his index, middle, and thumb fingers.

"This is your last warning to leave here or I will not hesitate in slaughtering everything here.." His hand shot up and the man's eyes rolled back into his head. He lowered the hand and a blast of air the bakudo sho shot from his finger. Tossing the man into the others as he vanished again. His eyes stared at Carter as he brought his sword upwards. Pointing it toward's Carter's chest now as he stared. "The Gotei 13 has faltered off the path of what is honorable. They have forgotten the duty that is their own. As a Captain, it is your duty and those who wear those honorable outfits to carry the will of the first on. " Tsubasa said now making sure Carter understood why this was happening. He would give the boy that much before this began as the place emptied out. Tsubasa made his displeasure with the organization very clear. Once those in question were all gone he released the gates again. But this time was very different from the first time. Where merely his spiritual pressure had been allowed to go.

This time, his reiatsu manifested as lightning shot around the area. Tsubasa's potent power being allowed to go as he gripped the blade now and yellow energy surged around it. His eyes of crimson glowed slowly as he popped his neck left to right. Carter's brawl with the former leader had begun. It was time to bring about the beginning of this. Tsubasa wouldn't provide answers for Carter only he would find them. He wasn't meant to show them the way to the answers. Only to make sure Carter understood that this Organization despite its growth. Had lost a great deal of something that it needed to find again. He shot forward using his speed and bringing his Zanpakutō at Carter's side with a great amount of force. Tsubasa began his offensive against the man as he swung his sword. A shockwave came from the blow as he didn't restrain his strength this time much. Tsubasa wasn't here to play soft on them this time. This was something that was called tough love after all for them.

When you love something as much as he did the Gotei 13. You have to be hard on them sometimes. Tsubasa had done this the nice way long enough. The Gotei 13 had lost something that was hard to gain back. But part of it did involve respect that was lost for this place. Once upon a time enemies dreaded taking action before this place. But now it was a place that's interaction with the living world was small. Tsubasa himself couldn't directly act much these days. When he became Head Captain the first time he did his best to manage things. But to keep something like this alive was hard. Captains came and went as though times of the year. Damien asked him to help this place so long ago. Ibiki and his dream of a Gotei 13 that was strong and what it needed to be. A couple things needed to happen first, the Captains had lost something important. Carter would be the first to be educated on what it was. The question was how far would he have to push him till he figured it out?

Tsubasa became aware only due to the incident with Kazuya Kiharu. He saw what was missing and could only sit and twiddle his thumbs. This enraged him to no end but then the straw that broke the camel's back came. They stepped further and further from what their duty was. They were Guardian's of the Balance and protectors of Order within the Living World. They had lost too much for Tsubasa to sit without action any longer. The Blades were prompted into action. So it was time for them to figure it out, even Ibiki needed to awaken. She needed to see what changed from before. When he arrived they'd gained something that they lost. But only he had brought it to them. The Gotei 13 would be reminded of the duty they were abandoning. Tsubasa's concerns would be addressed here starting with those who wore the Haori. He would make sure they honored those who came before them. Tsubasa's duty was clear and as a man of honor who promised to uphold it. He wouldn't back down from his resolve without a fight.
