Arrival in the Bleach Universe
The scene shifts to the crumbled ruins of Las Noches, the former stronghold of Aizen. The aftermath of a titanic battle is evident, with debris scattered across the desert landscape. At the center of the destruction stands a lone figure wielding a glowing scythe and an aura of absolute dominance—MaxedInfinite.
Himothy and Him sense his overwhelming power from a distance. As they approach, they see Aizen, one of the most dangerous villains in the Bleach universe, lying defeated at MaxedInfinite's feet.
MaxedInfinite turns to greet the newcomers, his voice calm yet commanding.
MaxedInfinite: "So, you must be the travelers I've heard whispers about. Impressive. I've been looking for warriors like you."

A New Ally's Proposal
After brief introductions, MaxedInfinite reveals his goal: to gather like-minded warriors who seek not just strength, but to transcend the limitations of their realities. His charisma and clear tactical genius captivate Himothy and Him, but before joining forces, Him feels compelled to test his strength.
Him: "If you're as strong as you seem, let's see what you've got. A friendly sparring match to see if you're truly worthy of standing with us."
MaxedInfinite smirks, unfazed by the challenge.
MaxedInfinite: "Very well. But don't hold back—I want to see the true extent of your power."

The Sparring Match
The battlefield shifts as Him and MaxedInfinite prepare for their duel. The energy between them is palpable, shaking the very fabric of reality. Himothy steps back to observe, his sharp eyes analyzing every move.

Phase 1: Testing the Waters
The fight begins with both warriors exchanging lightning-fast blows, their weapons clashing in bursts of light and energy. MaxedInfinite's Soul Harvester and Him's katana create shockwaves with every strike, leveling the surrounding area. MaxedInfinite uses Illusion Creation and Ethereal Veil, forcing Him to adapt to an ever-changing battlefield.
Him, however, counters with his perfect combat skills and Ultra Instinct, dodging with uncanny precision and retaliating with devastating sword slashes infused with Hakai.

Phase 2: Raising the Stakes
MaxedInfinite unleashes his World-Breaking Bankai, inverting the battlefield. Gravity shifts, and the laws of physics bend, making every step and movement a challenge for Him. Despite this, Him quickly adapts, using his own reality-warping abilities and shadow clones to counter the new rules.
The fight escalates as both combatants push themselves to their limits. MaxedInfinite fires a barrage of Luminous Blade slashes, while Him counters with his Kaioken x10, amplifying his speed and strength to overwhelm the attacks.
---
Final Phase: The Decisive Blow
Both warriors charge their ultimate moves. MaxedInfinite summons a massive Kamehameha, infused with his scythe's energy. Him, channeling his full power, uses a combination of Hakai and Near-Conceptual Pyrokinesis, creating a devastating attack that engulfs the battlefield in flames and destruction.
The collision of their attacks creates a massive explosion that shakes the very fabric of the Bleach universe. As the dust settles, Him stands victorious, though visibly exhausted. MaxedInfinite, impressed by the outcome, nods in approval.
MaxedInfinite: "You've proven yourself. I would be honored to join your team."

The Bond of Warriors
The three warriors spend the rest of the day training together, exchanging techniques, and learning from one another. They spar, meditate, and discuss their shared goals, forming a bond of mutual respect and camaraderie.
Himothy: "With your strength and tactical mind, our team is stronger than ever."
Him: "Together, we'll achieve things no one else can."
MaxedInfinite: "This is only the beginning. The multiverse holds challenges far greater than we've faced. But with our combined strength, we'll be unstoppable."
