I remember when things used to be easy, back before the Onigami, and the Wars and all the friends who became enemies. The way the sun used to shine on the Court of Pure Souls without the fear and constant waiting for an attack that never comes. Sure we all have that non-agression act, but lets face it, the moment someone decides to break it it'll be war reguardless. Back in the Academy they can teach you how to handle Konso, Hollows, those Quincy, and the Vizards, but they can't teach you how to handle your best friend standing on the opposite end of your blade, in the opposite army's colors as you wait to kill each other. I guess we're supposed to find luck in that thought, that we, the Shinigami of the Soul Society continue them on the cycle of life instead of killing them, still though when I lay awake at night I think, and this is what I think about.
The Shinigami, it's the guys I work for, we're the Guardians of the Worlds. We exorcise hollows and defend the defenseless. Our Zanpakutou are the most identifying things about us, we can send people who are dying to the after life where they can live happily in the next life. We use the ways of Binding and Destruction or Bokudou and Hadou respectivly. We call them Demon Arts or Kidou, they are many in numbers and of untold amounts of power, the right combination of binding and destruction can destroy the enemy or render them helpless. It's like our swiss pocket knives and a great back up to the Zanpakutou. Our Zanpakutou come in three forms, our sealed forms which look like Katana, a Shikai which is what level I'm at, it's our second release. Then finaly our Bankai, this thing is incredibly powerful, incredibly strong, they're rumored to level entire cities in a single call and be one hundred times stronger than a regular Zanpakutou, mostly Taichou have these.
Then there is the Quincy, can't say I like them, infact I rather hate them, but they do have a strong sense of pride and honor amongst their clan. They some how got cought up in the war with the Onigami and most of their Clans got wiped out and they ended up losing their home. I can see why they're pissed, but they have an exclusive hatred for the Shinigami. That's probably why I have my problem with them, they tend to shoot first and ask questions later, and they're blaming the Shinigami. Let me tell you a bunch of blue arrows hot on your ass when you're already trying to retreat from a bunch of Arrancar makes for a really bad night, and no you wont like sharing those scars over some warm Sake.
Humans, what can we say about them, someone's training them and they've got some weird powers. All completely unpredictable yet almost a reflection of that person's personality. None are alike and all are powered by something we know nothing of, it's not really scary, atleast yet. Still though the idea that someone is perpously making them stronger and spiritualy aware means that they'll be involved in a world soon enough where they may have to die for no reason, and that is a problem.
We've also noticed movements from the Vizards. They don't do much and it seems like they're just interested in hiding amongst the Humans. That being said it wouldn't supprise me if they wanted to cut up some Shinigami, after all we did kick them out of the Soul Society. It makes us sound terrible, but they broke our forbiddon laws of taking on a Hollow's powers. They're scary dangerous and I really would rather not mess with them, the fact that I can't see them or tell who they are very easily makes it worse, when it comes to the Vizards, I just pray that I don't piss some of them off. I have this theory that no ones buying into, but I think they probably own buisnesses and blend in perfectly and fund their works that way.
While we're on the subject of hybrids, there's a recent threat that is worse than all the Quincy and Vizards in my opinon. The Arrancar, I honostly have nightmares about regular hollows, but Hollows with Zanpakutou, and can think, and can kill, they all terrify me to no ends. They're said to be from the depths of Hueco Mundo and to work for something called "The Lord of the Deep." I don't know what the hell they're planning, but it's said ten of their Espada can destroy the Gotei Thirteen, and that would potentialy be the end of existance for everyone. It's a scary thought that the Hollows can come so very close to winning a war that could decide the fate of everyone and everything. Especialy since their Cero and Bala seem to be able to match and out do normal Kidou. I don't know how many lives where lost to these bastards, but I really, really hope I don't have to face them.
While on the subject of Hollows, might as well call the most common version of a Hollow. The Hollows are the almost mindless, soul eaters who plague both the Human, and Spirit Worlds. They chomp people up, and they wear giant masks. We've seen Hollows who have pure destructive might and some that have powers that make easy work of Shinigami who arn't smart. They're generaly easy targets though, however we do have a problem with them becoming Gillian. We're not sure what is with Hollows, but they seem to have the divine ability to evolve and gain more and more power though I'm not quite sure where their evolutionary trends end. Anyway, being a Shinigami I've killed more than a few of these guys, but even I know not to take them lightly.
Finaly there's the Onigami. They're exactly like the Shinigami, they have Zanpakutou with three levels of power. They know Kidou, only they allow Vizards into their ranks and they've developed a Technique called "Zankai". Basicly they form this demonic shield that can completely destroy life of close range fighters, they're a total pain in the ass and they've killed more friends that I've fingers to count with. I hate the Onigami, no one should ever have to endure the pain of watching their friends kill each other, then look down the Shikai of one of your best friends realizing that now you'd have to kill them. The chaos caused everywhere, the deaths and the destruction, it's all their faults. I would kill everyone of them except for that stupid cease fire agreement the Soutaichou and Central Fourty Six have in place. I still wonder though, how long will it hold up?
I remember back before the Wars, when everything in the Academy was simple. I remember the soft feel of my girlfriend's skin and the cool breeze on my cheek. I remember that there was a cycle of life and death and everything flowed unless a Quincy got to you. And you know what, sometimes I look over my back into the hell fires of war, and I see my dead girlfriend, whom I killed for betraying the Soul Society, and feel that breeze that's now hot with flames, and smells of death. I look back at the Quincy, and the Onigami, and the Vizards, and when I look forward into the future and to where I am now and I look to my Zanpakutou and I wonder, will there ever be a time when everytime you meet someone... if maybe it wont be the beginning of seperation...
