His Majesty's Loyal Servants

As the final battle that can decide the outcome of this war is set to begin, the other soul reapers have missions to complete. Missions that will eradicate the Sternritter once and for all. As the palace is suspiciously silent, noise is about to be made. The new captain commander, Aoi Hono, walks through the halls. He continues to walk until he hears a bullet being fired. He grabs his Zanpakuto and blocks the bullet at the last second.

"A Quincy sniper, huh? Now, where are you?" asked Aoi.

Aoi starts to spin around, searching for the snipe until he sees someone standing on a curved rooftop. He speed blitzes the sniper by flash stepping behind him and destroying his sniper rifle.

"Are you a Sternritter?" asked Aoi.

"Yes," said the Sternritter sniper.

"You won't surrender, will you?" asked Aoi.

"No," said the Sternritter sniper.

"Before we fight, let's exchange formalities. I don't want to kill you before I learn your name," said Aoi.

"My name is Lillie Barro," said Lillie.

"Mine is Aoi Hono, Captain Commander of the Gotei 13. Welcome to your last day on Earth," said Aoi.

Aoi flash steps away before the Quincy sharpshooter can even blink. Lillie looks around and tries to find the Captain Commander, but it's like he disappeared into thin air. A few seconds pass before he hears something. He shoots in the direction of the noise, but it hits nothing.

"Over here," said Aoi.

Lillie shoots in the direction of the voice, but he hits nothing once again.

"Hado Number 33: Sokatsui!" exclaimed Aoi.

The sharpshooter turns around, preparing to block the kido, but there's no kido in sight.

"Stop hiding from me like a coward! Show yourself!" exclaimed Lillie.

"I'm not hiding. I'm just playing mind games," said Aoi.

Lillie starts to spin around like a top, rapidly shooting in every direction, but he hits nothing but air. Is air the only thing that this marksman can hit? No, the soul reaper captain has to be somewhere.

"Got you," said Aoi.

Lillie Barro sees the captain commander in the corner of his eye and tries to block the attack, but he isn't fast enough. The captain slashes the marksman multiple times with ease. The marksman jumps away and tries to avoid the slashes, but the captain appears in front of him and slashes him a few more times.

"No way," said Lillie.

"Yes, way. You should have been ready to die when you saw me," said Aoi.

"That's how you're able to do it. Your Shikai must allow you to alter reality to make it seem that you're super fast," said Lillie.

"That wasn't even close," said Aoi.

"Huh?" asked Lillie.

"My Zanpakuto is a fire-type Zanpakuto. I'm a god compared to you. That's why you can't see me," said Aoi.

"This is the first time that I've ever fought someone with both of my eyes open. This shouldn't be happening," said Lillie.

"If you just surrender, I won't kill you. You would be a powerful ally for us," said Aoi.

"I will never betray his majesty," said Lillie.

"It's your loss," said Aoi.

"Let me even the odds. Jilliel," said Lillie.

His left eye turns white and forms into a Quincy Zeichen. As the light disappears, Lille has transformed into an angel-like being with eight golden wings with holes in them. A halo appears above his head. Aoi prepares to move, but he can't.

"Why can't I move?" thought Aoi.

A few seconds pass, but he still can't move. Two shots from the holes in his wings are shot and hit the Captain Commander in the chest. He is sent flying through the walls of the palace of god. He lands near a wall and quickly gets up. Lillie continues to shoot at Aoi as he runs away.

"Maybe I underestimated him too much," said Aoi.

Aoi runs behind a wall as Lillie continues to shoot at him.

"Flame on, Herufaia," said Aoi.

Aoi Zanpakuto enters it's Shikai state. He then flash step towards the angel and hoists his Zanpakuto above his head. Blue flame encircles the blade as he jumps into the air.

"Jigoku Piasa!" exclaimed Aoi.

Aoi brings down his blade and launches a powerful Jigoku Piasa at the left wings of the marksman. It doesn't destroy them, but it causes him to bleed a lot.

"Impossible! You shouldn't be able to hurt a messenger of God!" exclaimed Lillie.

"Impossible? It can't be if I just did," said Aoi.

"You bastard!" exclaimed Lillie.

Lillie shoots multiple shots at the Captain Commander, but he easily blocks the shots. He then appears behind the angelic sharpshooter and slashes him on the back. Lillie tries to shoot the soul reaper again, but he disappears.

"How are you still so fast! How are you able to hurt me!" exclaimed Lillie.

"I'm just stronger than you. There's nothing else to it," said Aoi.

"Impossible!" exclaimed Lillie.

Lillie spams his attacks at the Captain Commander, but he just flash steps away. The angel tries to hit the soul reaper, but he just can't.

"I could just cut off your head and be done with you, but you are an angel aren't you?" asked Aoi.

"You can't kill a messenger of God!" exclaimed Lillie.

"I can and I will. Because you're an angel, I will show you something that I have never shown my enemy before. Bankai: Sukui no Menba," said Aoi.

Aoi's spiritual pressure explodes as his Zanapkuto enters its Bankai state. His entire body becomes blue flame as his Zanpakuto becomes one made out of the blue flames that are now his body.

"Do you believe that a shinigami's Bankai can kill me?" asked Lillie.

"Shoot me," said Aoi.

"Huh?" asked Lillie.

"I want to showcase the power difference between me and you," said Aoi.

"It is your death wish then," said Lillie.

Lillie fires multiple shots out of his wings at the Captain Commander, but they go right through him and he doesn't take any damage. He shoots him a few more times, but he still doesn't take any damage.

"How is that possible?" asked Lillie.

"When I activate my Bankai, I don't just use my blue flames, I become them. My entire body becomes fire and I use them to bring salvation to whoever I kill," said Aoi.

"I won't need salvation when you're the one that will die," said Lillie.

"I'm not done explaining my Bankai," said Aoi.

"What do you mean?" asked Lillie.

"I have two more abilities that come with my Bankai. The first is called Muetskishokogun. If this ability is activated, if you are weak enough, I can stab you and your body will combust by flame and explode. The last ability is Kairitori no Saisu. It allows me to send anyone to Hell with one fatal strike of my blade," said Aoi.

"You're a fool for telling me everything about your Bankai," said Lillie.

"No, you're already a dead man," said Aoi.

Before Lillie can even blink, he can feel the heat coming from right in front of him. The blade of the devil swipes his head off of his neck and forces him to fall to the ground. His body follows seconds later.

"You may have made it to the heavens, Quincy, but your soul will be stuck in Hell for the rest of eternity," said Aoi.

Aoi slowly hovers to the ground and takes out a phone. He looks back at the body of the fallen marksman as he is dragged into Hell for an eternal suffering. He clicks a couple buttons and the phone starts to ring. Kisuke quickly picks up the phone.

"Aoi, this isn't a good time. We're in the heat of battle," said Kisuke.

"Who are you fighting?" asked Aoi.

"A Quincy named Askin. He's pretty strong, but we can take him," said Kisuke.

"Good. I just defeated a Sternritter. If you need backup, just call," said Aoi.

"Don't worry. We can handle him," said Kisuke.

"Thank you, Kisuke. We will win this war thanks to your spectacular mind," said Aoi.

"I love compliments, but call back later. I need to concentrate," said Kisuke.

Before Aoi can finish talking, Kisuke hangs up the call.

"We're all fighting so hard to win this war Even though your spiritual pressure is faint Kuroi, I can feel you fighting that evil bastard. Beat him and this war will be over. The flames of your Zanpakuto surpass mine tenfold. I believe in you, son," said Aoi.

Back in the throne room of the Soul King, the King of Quincies and his son of darkness stand mere feet in front of each other. They stare at each other without uttering a word.

"When you confronted me in the Soul Society, I could have killed you and prevented you from interfering with my plans, but I decided to show you mercy and only break your Bankai. Is this what I get in return? A troublesome child," said Yhwach.

"You killed my mother You killed my aunt. You killed Yama. You killed the other members of the Zero Division. You broke Kurayami. You cut off my father's hands. You broke Zangetsu. You nearly destroyed the Soul Society. As a captain of the Gotei 13, I will take you down. Not because you hurt my family or friends. Not because you murdered a lot of innocent people. You want to reduce the world to nothing and reshape it into a Quincy utopia. I can't let that happen," said Kuroi.

"The future that I see sees you as another carcass in a graveyard of fallen Quincy," said Yhwach.

"After this fight, I will make sure that you don't get a gravestone, you bastard," said Kuroi.

"Bring it, my son," said Yhwach.

"You're not my father!" exclaimed Kuroi.

Kuroi darts towards and pulls out one of his Zanpakuto and black flame encircles it. He launches a Jigoku Piasa at the Quincy King and he just sides steps it, hoping for it to hit the Soul King, but it doesn't. Yhwach turns his head and sees that the Soul King is no longer there.

"Where is he?" asked Yhwach.

"I moved him," said Kuroi.

Yhwach turns around and sees that the captain is standing where the Soul King used to be. There is now a large hole in the wall.

"Where did you take him?" asked Yhwach.

"You have the Almighty, don't you? You should have seen it coming," said Kuroi.

Kuroi and Yhwach dart towards each other and their blades clash, destroying the throne room. Their blades continue to collide with the other, creating large shockwaves that are felt all over the palace. Kuroi pulls out his second Zanpakuto to help apply even more pressure onto the Quincy King. By manipulating his reishi, Yhwach creates a large broadsword and puts the fight more into his favor.

"Do you believe that you can win? I know every move you will make. I know every attack you will use. There's no future in which you win," said Yhwach.

"Your Almighty has flaws. I will use those flaws to beat you, Quincy," said Kuroi.

Yhwach responds by kneeing the soul reaper in the gut. The gut attack causes Kuroi to falter in his strikes and Yhwach takes advantage. With one broad swing, Yhwach nearly knocks both of the Zanpakuto out of his hands. He then slaps the soul reaper and he flies into another part of the palace. Before Kuroi can get up, Yhwach creates Sankt Brogen and launches the giant reishi arrows at the soul reaper. They hit him and create a large explosion. Yhwach smiles as he descends into the smoke.

"I don't know why you thought that you could have won. You could have joined me like your cousin Uryu. We could have led the new utopia together as father and son, but you chose to defy me and fight me. Now, you will have to die," said Yhwach.

"You're too confident, Yhwach. The battle has just begun," said Kuroi.

"Why do you still grab onto that last glimmer of hope? You can't win," said Yhwach.

"I may not be able to beat you with just my shinigami powers, but maybe Seishin can help," said Kuroi.

"Seishin?" asked Yhwach.

"If you were my father, you would know about my best friend!" exclaimed Kuroi.

Kuroi's spiritual pressure explodes and causes the smoke to disappear. The king of the Quincies is blown back by the power. Kuroi stands up and is in a new form. A large jagged horn bent backward appears in his hair. A large squiggly black stripe appears on the left side of his body. His eye turns black and his pupil turns yellow.

"You didn't see this coming, did you?" asked Kuroi.

"So, you have taken the appearance of a Hollow. Interesting," said Yhwach.

"If it's so interesting to you, maybe you should see it up close," said Kuroi.

Kuroi rockets towards Yhwach and their blades clash once again. This shockwave is even larger than the other, destroying parts of the palace in the process. Yhwach then kicks Kuroi in the stomach and sends him flying twenty feet back.

"Is that all you got, Kuroi? Is that all of the strength that you gained when you transformed into that form?" asked Yhwach.

Kuroi responds by charging a Jigoku Piasa while he darts towards the Quincy King.

"Another Jigoku Piasa? I don't even need my Almighty to see through that!" said Yhwach.

"Good. He doesn't see what I'm trying to do," said Kuroi.

Kuroi raises one of his blades and positions it next to his Hollow horn. He then charges a cero into his Jigoku Piasa.

"What are you doing?" asked Yhwach.

"If you couldn't see it with the Almighty, then that means one thing. I have surpassed you and your Almighty," said Yhwach.

"Impossible," said Yhwach.

"Gran Rey Jigoku Piasa!" exclaimed Kuroi.

Kuroi takes a broad swing and releases the most powerful Jigoku Piasa he has ever released. The attack creates a huge explosion in the sky above the palace. The son of the Soul King falls out of the sky while the son of the Quincy King stands tall in the clear sky. Yhwach falls to the palace as the soul reaper floats to the ground. A large wound lies on the king's body.

"It's over, Yhwach. The war is over. The Quincy are nearly extinct once again. You have lost," said Kuroi.

"I haven't died yet, so this war will still go on," said Yhwach.

"Have you heard of the tale of Sosuke Aizen? If you haven't, let me tell you. Sosuke Aizen was a boy born with immense power and intellect. He saw the sorry state that the Soul King was in and was sick of being controlled by a god who could no longer speak or move, so he planned to kill him and become God himself. He failed because of the effort of many brave shinigami and warriors and was locked up in Muken. You tried to kill the Soul King to destroy everything and create a utopia. Your plan and his are similar. That's why you failed. You didn't consider me as a foil for your evil scheme," said Kuroi.

"Don't talk down to me, child," said Yhwach.

"Why shouldn't I? You've lost," said Kuroi.

"I'm not finished," said Yhwach.

Yhwach holds out his hands and reishi pours out of it. Kuroi notices him using Auschwalen and tries it chop his hands off, but his spiritual pressure explodes and sends him flying backward.

"Yes! My loyal servants have pleased their master once again! Now, will you talk down to me, Kuroi!" exclaimed Yhwach.

"I'm not finished," said Kuroi.

Kuroi positions his blades in front of him.

"Bankai!" exclaimed Kuroi.

Kuroi's spiritual pressure explodes as his Zanpakuto enters its' new Bankai. His new Bankai is a combination of his two Shikai blades. It's a large black and white curved blade with the hilt of a broadsword. Before he can even move, his Bankai breaks. Kuroi turns his head and sees that only half of his Bankai is still intact. His Hollow horn is then ripped off and he is unable to use his Hollow powers.

"What is going on?" asked Kuroi.

He gets no answer, but he is slashed multiple times by Yhwach's reishi broadsword and falls to his knees. He looks up and sees the Quincy King standing over him.

"How?" asked Kuroi.

"You can not defy your father, boy. Now, I should take the powers that I have graciously given to you," said Yhwach,

Kuroi tries to move, but he can't. Yhwach is controlling him through their shared blood. The Quincy King places his hand on his son's face and sucks all of the Quincy and Hollow powers out of the young boy. Kuroi falls to the ground because he is now too weak to even kneel in front of his king.

"Where have you hidden my father?" asked Yhwach.

"I will never tell you," said Kuroi.

"Fine. I'll just find him myself. Farewell, Kuroi. I no longer need you or my children. Just sit here and watch as I destroy the world, my son of darkness," said Yhwach.
