=====Bleach, Goshou Act 1, Chapter 4! Battle of the Tainted Spirits, Round 1! All Out Brawl on Karakura Beach!=====

Sealed away in a place where neither light nor darkness exist. I waited to exact my revenge. The grudge I held against those who imprisoned me filled my entire being. The passing of the centuries only fuelled my burning desire to avenge myself! And so, locked deep in that dark place, I bided my time. A Hollow who gained Shinigami powers by removing his Hollow mask...that's what I am. After I first acquired this great power many years ago, I left Hueco Mundo, and invaded the Soul Society. My quest then was nothing less than the destruction of all the foolish Shinigami! But... I failed... Though I was far too strong for the Shinigami to defeat in combat... They realized this and so lured me into a trap. The underground chamber of Central 46! I was there for a very long time. A place without life or death, light or shadow, no beginning and no end. Eons passed there. Then something changed. I felt a weakening of the seal and knew that my time had come at last! Using my enormous reiatsu I broke the seal and was exposed to the outside world for the first time in a thousand years! I've fully recovered now and am more powerful than ever before. Finally the time has come for me to take my revenge on the accursed Shinigami, and every drop of humiliation and suffering I endured while sealed away, I shall surely make them taste now!

"Allow me to introduce myself.

My name is Arturo Plateado."

The Arrancar stood far in front of Jefurii Konpaku, still keeping that arrogant smirk on his face. He let out a deep breath, removing the heavy reiatsu from, to his eyes, the Shinigami he was facing, who immediately fell to the ground. Quickly, Konpaku got up.

'Damn it! What the hell was that?! Was that just his reiatsu?!' was the one thought that ran through Jefurii's head. 'He even took out all of those Hollows all at once! He didn't even draw his zanpakuto or anything!'
"Can you give me your name, Shinigami?" the Arrancar named Arturo asked. "Why should I?" Jefurii shot back. "Whatever the reason is you're here, I can tell it isn't good. What do you want?" "....if you think I'm an associate to your own Sosuke Aizen, then I must say that you are wrong. My point is, I was looking for you." Arturo spoke in a gentle tone, almost friendly.
"What do you mean 'looking for me?'"
"Pretty self-explanatory. I was looking for you. I want you to join me." Arturo's tone now had an evil background to it, with the way he continued to speak.
"Join you?" Jefurii gripped tightly onto his sword.
"Yes. I want you to join my cause. By the way, don't even try to raise your weapon against me." As he finished, the heavy reiatsu pounded itself onto Jefurii's shikai, forcing him to drop it. He was already suspecting an attack. "Alright fine, I'll listen." Jefurii then crossed his arms and glared at the menace that stood before him. "Go ahead, talk."
"As I was saying prior to your move, I want you to join my cause. I've been watching you all day and I was easily able to notice that you aren't among the Shinigami anymore. Am I wrong?" Jefurii kept silence. "I can see that as a yes. Moving on, I'm raising my own army of Espadas---""I thought you said you WEREN'T associated to Aizen!" Arturo's gaze took on a darkening form seeing that he's cut off, using his reiatsu to force Konpaku onto his knees again, choking the life out of him.
"I am not directed to Aizen. Well, directly. Now, before you so rudely cut me off, I stated that I was raising my own army."
"Why...the hell do you need...an army?!" panted the worn-out Jefurii.
"It's quite simple, really. With my own army of the strongest spiritual entities holding grudges of any sort, we are going to eliminate all of the Shinigami and anyone who stands in our way.

That's all there is to it."

SQUAD 12 BARRACKS
=====

Within the Squad 12 barracks, the Command Center-themed room began to stir with activity once all of the Hollows from earlier suddenly died and disappeared before being replaced by a single Hollow.
"Arturo's been located!" One of the researchers shouted. "He's in Karakura Town, District 3600 of the world of the living!" Not too long after that news was declared, all of the surrounding members of the Research Institute huddled over the screen and looked at the dark, maroon coloured blip on the screen. The colour indicated a spiritual entity's strength by reiatsu. One of this colour indicates that Arturo Plateado is stronger than anything else ever recorded: much more so than the Espada or Sosuke Aizen and his followers.
"Contact the Onmitsukido! Tell them we have found the Oken Thief!" one of the leads cried, earning him a "Yes sir!" in response.
Within moments, the Squad Captain entered the room, both annoyed and relieved. "What's going on here?" Mayuri stated rather angrily. "Sir, Arturo Plateado's been located within the world of the living." Rin Tsubokura replied. "We've sent out a notification to the Onmitsukido."
"Good. Did you also remind them to bring back the subject in question too, most presumably dead at least?" spoke Captain Kurotsuchi again, showing some relief. Rin nodded in response. "Now, what of the status? Where is he?"
"Karakura Town, as predicted!" the big headed Hiyosu cried. "And none of the guys are there! No Ichigo, no Sado, no nobody!" "WHAT?! WHERE ARE THEY THEN?!" Now Mayuri's patience was once again put to the test. "Apparently, they left town a few days ago, presumably they all went on vacation before the next term." "And Urahara?!"
"He hasn't shown up." Akon spoke out.
"Damn it...!!!! Keep an eye on Arturo, and don't you dare lose him! Let me know of any developpments that will occur, understood?!"
With the room chanting "Yes sir!" again, Mayuri left the Research Institute to return to his office.
'I admit that I'm looking forward to experimenting on that Arrancar, but the question is, how will we be able to kill him, let alone catch him?! This is going to drive me through the roof! An experimental subject so unique, and yet nearly impossible to obtain!' he thought with disdain.
As he kept walking towards his room, he brought his hand up to his head, tilting it onto his open palm to rest it, letting out an annoyed sigh. 'Shit...'
Reaching the doors to his private quarters, he felt Nemu's reiatsu coming in. 'At least some duties have been fulfilled, even if it is that excuse of a daughter.' He turned around to see his Vice-Captain carrying some files tucked beneath her arm. "Mayuri-sama." she spoke out while handing him the folders. "Good. Now, go back to the others, I will read through these documents myself. Do not disturb me unless anything happens in the world of the living. Understand?"
"Hai, Mayuri-sama.." she bowed, then left to join the other researchers.

Mayuri looked through the various files, all picked out from under the keyword "Arrancar". They were listed under Espada, Sosuke Aizen, Hokyoku, The Miromoto Hueco Mundo Unit, and so on,....there was seemingly no end to these until Mayuri reached the one he was looking for.
Labelled Plateado Fénix, he grinned madly as he was holding the one piece of evidence and history on one of the oldest threats the Soul Society has ever known, but long forgotten.

Munches, crunches, chewing and other possible sounds associated to eating came from the Vice-Captain's office. The large Marechiyo Ōmaeda was eating from a bag of fried rice crackers while reading through some late night reports concerning the attack and Oken theft, mostly disregarded as boring. Whether it was due to his lazyness or fatigue, it doesn't matter to him. Slowly, the fat (though he claims he is only plump because of his wealth) Vice-Captain was drifting to sleep...----

"ŌMAEDA!!!"
The door to his office was suddenly slammed open---well, kicked open by his petite Captain and leader of the Onmitsukido altogether, Soi Fon. Ōmaeda quickly burst awake, pointlessly trying to hide his munchies from the one person he feared most. "C--Captain! S--Sorry, I was--" "Don't try to make excuses, lardass. You were asleep when I already gave you paperwork! I EXPECTED THOSE TO BE GIVEN TO ME AN HOUR AGO TOO, YOU FAT IDIOT!" she yelled authoritingly. Her Vice-Captain quickly got up from his chair and handed her the stacks of (mostly unfinished) paper just to keep her mouth shut from yelling at him as usual. However, Soi Fon simply disregarded it. "It's too late. We already got something else. That doesn't mean you're free."

Marechiyo cursed under his breath when his Captain turned her back on him. "Let's go." she commanded. "What now?" was his answer, only to receive a glare of death from Soi Fon. "I said we already have an assignment from Yamamoto. The Research Institute found Arturo. Both you and I are to leave to Karakura Town soon with both the Punishment Force and the Patrol Corps."

Once again, Marechiyo swore inwardly. He stared out the window as they continued through the halls of the Squad 2 barracks, letting out a sigh.

He saw a deep crater underneath the Squad 1 barracks' remnants further off, showing clear signs of Arturo's previous attack.

"Quit dawdling around, Ōmaeda! We have a job to do!" shouted Soi Fon, quickly snapping her Vice-Captain out of his trance.

'I need a better Vice-Captain...' she thought.

"Ah! Vice-Captain Kurotsuchi!" One of the researchers, Misuke Soma, bowed to Nemu who just arrived in the Command Center room. "D--did Captain Kurotsuchi already fill you in on the details?" she stuttered.
"Yes, he told me to keep him updated on Arturo's activities within Karakura Town." she responded quasi-robotically. Nemu then turned towards
Suddenly, the same screen that had Arturo's gargantuan reiatsu locked onto the system detected another flare of reiatsu. Not as strong, but massive still in itself.
"We just got something else on radar! Looks like someone just engaged Arturo in combat right now!"
Once again, the researchers huddled over the screen. "Someone put on the visuals! We have to see what's going on!" declared Akon.
"Is it the Onmitsukido?!"
"No way! They aren't as strong as that thing!"

Within moments, the radar on the screen switched with live aerial footage of Karakura Town. The screen zoomed in towards the beach, catching Arturo with his sword drawn, already against another zanpakuto, a much bigger weapon consisting of two massive blades, one black and one white, twisted together into a large double-helix bladed sword.
"Looks like we found 'em!"
"Who's that other guy? He looks like a Shinigami!"
"Doesn't look like Kurosaki or anyone we know."
Comments were flying here and there, until one of them spoke.
"Is that a Hollow mask on the Shinigami?"
The room suddenly went dead silent. Most of the researchers piped down to take a closer look. However, some were skeptical.
Nemu Kurotsuchi joined the other researchers and looked at the screen.

Only a gasp of shock followed. Nemu mouthed the words "Jefurii-kun" with her eyes wide open in disbelief.

KARAKURA BEACH

"E...eliminate the Shinigami?!"

"Yes. And I want you to join us in that goal. You must be an exilee if you don't even stay in contact with them anymore, correct? I am sure you must be holding some sort of grudge against the ones who ruined your life in the past. Why not join me, and use that hate to destroy your enemies? There are others who share the same hatred as you. Altogether, we can become immortal, undefeatable! We will crush those insolent worms until none are left! Interested?" spoke Arturo. The dark clouds above him gathered around, blocking the stars and the moon entirely from shining away true darkness.

Just as quickly as he finished his sentence, Arturo unsheathed his zanpakuto to block Jefurii's, who used Shunpo to make his move against his new enemy.
"Enemies? You'd honestly believe that I would call the Shinigami my enemies?!" Genwaku-Kaosu shone brightly like a second moon in the night, charging up an attack. "KAGAMI-NO-KAGE!" On command, his sword sent a powerful blast of light against Arturo, pushing him further back on the beach.
Arturo had no need to defend himself from the attack, seeing that not even a scratch on skin or cloth was present. Jefurii continued. "NOT ONCE HAVE SHINIGAMI EVER BEEN MY ENEMIES!" He raised his longsword high into the air. "I don't care if I've been exiled! I'd forgive them for even doing this to me! Even now they try to track me down and kill me, and I have no problem with it! I forgive them too for that!! Not once have I ever killed a fellow Shinigami! It was only natural I was going to be exiled in the first place!!"
Arturo lowered his gaze but kept his eyes on Jefurii, now curious as to what he meant. 'Natural?' he thought.

"Besides, I owe it to those who trained me initially as a Shinigami! And I'm not going to allow the likes of you raise your blade against them!! Now that I see what you're after, there is no way I'm letting you leave this town alive!"
His blade began to shine in the same dark blue light as before, but this time, the reiatsu became fiercer and much more ferocious. Jefurii's own reiatsu began to skyrocket, even as his eyes slowly turn black.

"You've asked me for my name too, right?! Well here it is, Arturo! My name is Jefurii Yasutsune Konpaku, ex-Shinigami from the 12th and 6th Squads!"

He brought his free hand over his face, gathering reishi in his palm. Quickly, once he gathered enough and solidified it just as fast, he donned his Hollow Mask, ressembling that of a wolf's head with black and blue stripes going across the mask vertically. The scelera of his eyes turn pitch black as Jefurii summoned his mask, as did his iris shine a piercing ice blue colour.

"And I'm going to give it everything I got to kill you! BANKAI! Buraindo-Naito-Kaosu!!!"

As the word "Bankai" left Jefurii's mouth, the blade of his longsword shattered into millions of miniature shards, and a fierce wind began to pick up beneath him. The sands began to rise around Jefurii, locking him into a tower of sand, with his blade transforming on the inside.

Arturo grinned at his new discovery, pointing the tip of his blade towards the sand tower.
'A Reaper among Hollows... I am going to enjoy this.'
