[Izanami Midorikawa]

Sitting there in the darkness of the prison cell that she had been thrown in yesterday was the blonde human by the name of Izanami Midorikawa. She had been defeated in battle by a shinigami with dark hair and the face of a young man. Izanami knew that shinigami could live far longer than npormal humans though so accurately guessing his age was pointless. At the same time it didn't matter he was gone now. By the time that she had awoken from passing out from lack of air she was somewhere else with her hands tied behind her back.

She had tried to get her hands free over the last few hours after awaking yet there hadn't been any luck. Her arms were cuffed behind her back and locked to the point that she couldn't so much as get any additional space. The room that she was inside of right now was dark and bleak and she could onmly assume that she had been taken prisoner by the shinigami instead of being killed. She didn't understand why though for she would have killed him without even needing to think about it. Yet another thing that made no sense to the mind of a weapon.

So now there was just one thing for her to do. Break out of this room and get free. Izanami was a weapon meant to kill those that were deemed foes. If that shinigami had taken her prisoner then that meant she was more than likely in Soul Society right now. So hopping up onto her feet Izanami took the few steps that were needed to reach the door. It was a metal one that had bars so that the guards could look inwards. Izanami peered through the bars to see what was on the outside.

[Amagai Kuchiki]

Through the door, Izanami saw...no one. This section of the prison wasn't guarded, and likely for good reason. After all, Soul Society wouldn't leave as blatant of a weakness as understaffing a prison. More than likely, the guards were noted as a liability and point of vulnerability, and this area was rigged up with defensive Kido to act as all the guards that it needed. That being said, Izanami couldn't tell if there was any particularly potent Kido, her energy sensory wasn't good enough to pin things down.

All she could tell was that the whole place was positively soaked in reiatsu. Was this what Soul Society felt like? She had never been here before, and thus was unfamiliar with the reiatsu. Regardless, as she stood up, it became clear that something was funky about this place. Her head started to swirl, and she felt nausea overwhelm her. It was possible that she might vomit. A nonlethal precaution to minimize how often prisoners moved around.

The door was made of iron, but clearly reinforced. It was uncertain if she could break it down. After all, it would be a pretty terrible jail if she could just waltz out. They had minimized as many points of vulnerability as possible, but likely not all of them. Especially if someone else decided to intervene. But for the present moment, Izanami had no support. She was left alone with her thoughts, to formulate a plan, to lie down and rest, to do something while she was stuck here. 

[Izanami Midorikawa]

Sitting in this dark room that had virtually nothing in it. This was a prison cell and Izanami knew that if she was going to live then she would have to break out of this room. For one reason or another she didn't want to die not like this. If she was going to die it'd be in battle as a weapon not as a captive. She didn't understand why she even felt like that though. It was one of those strange moments again where she actually felt like there was something more to her than just a weapon with a name.

The one thing that caused the blonde human to get up to her feet more than anything else though was what she realized after a few moments of thinking over everything that had happened. If she stayed here and allowed the Shinigami that had captured her to either keep her in prison or kill her than the name known as Satsujun would be allowed to continue what he had done. She was just a weapon. A child that had been stolen from her parents so that she could be turned into a tool for that man. No he was going to die. As soon as she got back to the world of the living.

To do that though she'd have to get out of this room find her Fullbring and then get through a portal. So after she looked over the door and realized that it was composed of thick spiritual steel she had to make a few choices. She didn't realize it, but after the last few weeks Izanami was getting more and more accustomed to thinking on her own. She wasn't all that great at it yet, but development was something everyone had to go through to gain strength.

There was very little that she could actually do at the moment so the best thing that she could do was to wait for a opportunity to present itself. So for the time being Izanami sat down and awaited for someone to open the cell door. That would be the first chance she got to make any kind of a difference. All she could tell was that she felt much different than normal. She was weaker yet stronger at the same time so it wasn't clear. Only time would tell.

[Amagai Kuchiki]

She would hear the screams first. Relatively far away, down the hallway and in the next room, perhaps. The surges of reiatsu next, pulsing in quick succession, causing other reiatsu signatures, stable ones, to fall and vanish. The door, at the end of the hallway, was broken down, a person flying through it and skidding to a halt in front of the cell door. A guard, with a broken sternum, lay in front of the door, blood gurgling in his throat. Footsteps, slowly walking down the hallway. And a voice: "Grab his keys, they should be attached to his belt, on the right side." 

She didn't recognize the voice, but it was clearly one of an ally. His reiatsu felt like that of a Quincy. Had Satsujun sent someone to break her out? Or was this an unrelated operative? "Come on, hurry up. I've taken care of the guards, but one of them sounded the alarm. The whole Gotei 13 will be breathing down our necks if we don't get the fuck out." If she exited the room, she'd see an attractive man, rather feminine in appearance, with dirty brown hair, and a blood splattered black suit, standing down the corridor from her.

[Izanami Midorikawa]

Sitting there in the prison cell wasn't something that came with anything more than boredom for most individuals. However, for someone that didn't feel emotion to the degree that she still struggled with actually having a sense of who she was and what to do for herself it was nothing. At the moment she was like a blade being kept on display. That is until she sensed the reiatsu of something else nearby. It was the reiatsu of a Quincy.

It was only a few moments later that Izanami heard the sound of a door being broken and a body skidding across the cement floor outside the cell door that held her locked within this prison. Getting back up onto her feet she moved to the cell door and peered outside seeing the guard lying on the ground with blood pouring from his throat as he quickly faded from life. That was when the voice of a man told her to grab the keys from the guard and that within a few moments the force of Soul Society would be here.

Focusing her reiatsu through the veins in her head the silver eyes of the human weapon instantly turned a dark gold. She could see the keys to the cell that was holding her on the right side of the guard. Focusing on them she caused the ring that held them together to split apart. It was at that point that the keys were levitated through the air into the cell through the sections that allowed her to see. It only took a few moments for her to get the keys. At that point Izanami hopped pulling her legs up as far as she could while moving her arms forward.

It managed to work only barely and if she had miss judged even slightly then she could have fallen forwards into the door itself. However, she managed to get her hands in front of her and then move the keys down into the cuffs unlocking them and freeing her hands. That was when she stopped the flow of reiatsu into her eyes. The monstrous sight of the golden eyes transformed once more back to the emotionless cold silver that was her beauty.

Taking the keys from the cuffs and using them on the door itself from the outside was easily done. It only took an additional few seconds and after that Izanami pushed the door open and stepped out into the corridor. However, it was quite strange. Instead of turning to look down the corridor in the direction of the voice Izanami immediately bent downwards and stripped the Shinigami of his zanpakuto. After that, after obtaining a weapon she turned to face the Quincy.

[Amagai Kuchiki]

"Careful with that Zan," the Quincy said, the slang sounding strange coming from his refined mouth, "I heard the scientist Shinigami have some way of detonating those things if they fall into enemy hands. But hey, they can't do that if they don't know you have it, so just fight smart." He flashed a small grin, and chucked an object at Izanami with deadly accuracy. The object would arc, and land in her hand if she reflexively reached up to grab it out of the air.

Welcome To Our Xcution
Ren Masuaro
Seven Guns #2

"Pleasure to meet you, the Boss sent me to break you out. So, let's move. Quickly, ideally." And so Ren began to walk down the hall, his movements deliberate, but even at this distance, Izanami would realize she couldn't hear any of his footsteps. She couldn't hear his clothes rustling on his body either. He walked like an assassin. At least that meant that he probably wasn't lying about his position and the reason why he was here. He made it to the end of the hallway, and stepped through into the next room.

As Izanami followed, she found the room, which had at one point been a guard station, to be covered liberally with blood, with Shinigami bodies, and a respectable amount of fire. Whether that was from Ren's powers, or the Shinigami's, was left uncertain. Regardless, Ren walked through the room, towards the door that lead to the main entrance. Why was he walking, not running? Izanami couldn't be certain, but Ren was a professional. He likely had his reasons.

[Izanami Midorikawa]

She turned to face the Quincy that had appeared killed all of these shinigami after breaking into the prison that she was being kept in after being captured. There was a large amount of blood throughout the area that the Quincy had walked through and she could tell that if the shinigami weren't dead then they were in serious condition even for their race. She had the zanpakuto of the guard that had died in front of her cell in her right hand at the moment. That was when the Quincy told her to be careful with it. Apparently based on what he told her the scientists of the shinigami had some way to make them explode.

She wasn't entirely sure if that was truth or if he was making things up. However, now her train of free thought started to fade. It was for a singular reason. There was someone else here. Someone else that was giving her orders. She had lived through her entire life listening to other people. Being raised as nothing more than a weapon to be pointed at a target and then eliminate that target. So now that there was actually someone here to give her orders whether she subconciously didn't want to listen or not her conciousness and self awareness as an individual began to fade.

That was when the Quincy threw something at her and she managed to catch it as it arced through the air towards her. It turned out to be one of the Xcution cards that all members recieved upon joining. Wait no that wasn't true. She had no such card. Then though she wasn't trully a member of the organization either. All she was to them was a tool to be used against their foes so why would she be given a sign of membership. It then came out that this Quincy had been sent by Satsujun himself and for whatever reason while she had that same emotionlessness to her appearance at that moment there was the faint ting of distain. Then just as instant as it had appeared it was gone once more hidden beneath of the fact she was nothing and had to stay that way.

The Quincy moved silently down the hallway making no noise at all and Izanami followed him the best that she could while holding the zanpakuto. When they reached the end of the hallway the Quincy led her through a door that brought her into the true source of blood and wounded shinigami. Although there was a fair amount of fire as well which only brought up the question of whether this Quincy had such a property to his bow. Most others would have been running to get out yet this Quincy wasn't and neither was Izanami. For she was just following orders and doing so without question now as they reached the main exit.

[Amagai Kuchiki]

As the two of them reached the main entrance, Ren reached his hand to the door, but stopped before reaching the knob, hesitating. "Something is wrong," he muttered, "This was too easy. Girl, do you sense anything? My sensory capabilities are shit." Almost at the exact instant that he said that, Izanami would feel a massive surge of reiatsu from directly above them. Then, the roof would explode inwards, a massive wave of energy rocking the building.

If Izanami and Ren survived the destruction, they would see a shinigami, dressed in the uniform of the Kido Corps, floating above the building, a hand outstretched. From his reiatsu, it was clear he was quite strong, although Izanami could conclude that he was spiritually weaker than Ren. But unfortunately, he was not alone. Next to him floated someone with a very potent soul, although his was less powerful than either Ren or the Kido Corps guy. His skin was black, and his eyes were brown with small flecks of gold.

"Hey, Ketya, think you can handle the breaker and I'll handle the breakee?" He said, with a cheerful tone to his voice. His companion nodded. Ren glanced at Izanami "I trust that you can handle yourself for a bit while I clean up this trash." With that, Ren materialized Hirenkyaku underneath his feet, surging upwards at the Kido Corps shinigami, while the other Shinigami jumped down into the room with Izanami, landing on the other side of the room. He flicked his wrists, and two spears were deployed from his sleeves, into his waiting hands.

"The name is Katsuro Shihoin, Squad 11. Sorry, chick, this isn't anything personal." And with that, combat began.

[Izanami Midorikawa]

Walking throughout the halls of the prison was easy since she wasn't the one in charge at the moment. There was a handler once again which meant that Izanami didn't have to do the thinking. However as they reached the supposed exit door of the prison the Quincy by the name of Ren stopped. Izanami looked at him not understanding why he had suddenly changed posture and attitude. That was when he stated that this had been to easy and wondered if Izanami could sense anything describing that his own ability to sense reiatsu was lacking. So instantly Izanami started to sense the area around her like a radar that had been turned on. Immediately though her head hurt due to the large amount of spiritual pressure that she just picked up above them.

One of the reiatsu signatures spiked by a massive margin and Izanami reflexively stopped sensing as she touched her ears. It had been almost like a high pitch that caused her pain. There was no blood yet it felt like her head was pounding for the moment. The roof was blasted inwards and Izanami jumped backwards pushing her back against the wall to keep any type of ruble from falling on her. Immediately upon looking up with her silver eyes Izanami could see the member of the Kido Corps that had just destroyed the roof of the prison.

She didn't need to change the angle that she was looking up at the man in order to witness and take into account the additional Shinigami that was with him. A shinigami of dark skin with standard eyes and foolish confidence. Izanami didn't know why, but it felt like this shinigami was no different than the one of long white hair that she had first fought. Such blind confidence for moderate potential and power was foolish. As if a knife boosting to be more powerful than a broadsword. She could hear the shinigami declare that she was his opponent and that the one that blew up the roof would face the Quincy.

Ren didn't seem to be against the idea even though Izanami knew that they were much more likely to both be captured if they fought right now. The best idea would be to simply run away before backup coudl arrive and they'd be surrounded. However, her subjective nature won out against her subconcious rebelliousness. She had been given an indirect order and whether Ren knew it or not he had basically just activated a kill switch on Izanami. The shinigami of dark skin moved down to the other side of the room that they were in at the moment and suddenly two spears were in his hands.

He clared that his name was Katsura Shihoin and that he was a member of the eleventh division. Izanami had been taught by her handlers and trainers about the different divisions of the Soul Society. As such knowing that the eleventh was the primary war division was a blessing of information. However, this shinigami wasn't the first of the so called war division that Izanami had faced. Nor would he likely be the last. What was likely at least in her subconciousness was that he'd definitely just be like the others. A loser. Another shinigami to run away or die by her blade. Izanami had to do something though she didn't have her Fullbring on her so she would wait and just see what this shinigami ddi that she could take advantage of to kill him swiftly.

"Huh, you're not the type to make the first move then, I take it." There was a quizzical nature to the Shihoin's voice, as if he was disappointed. Then, in a sudden burst of movement, at 3500 speed, Katsuro was in front of her, the spear in his left hand jabbing out at her stomach, the one in his right moving as well, going to sweep Izanami's legs. She could keep up, but this first blitz would put her on the defensive, and that's how Katsuro wanted it.

If Izanami was paying attention, however, she would notice that something was wrong. Something felt off. She felt cold, and tired, and would notice that the lights were flickering slightly. Perhaps this was an illusionary Kido? Some entropic Hado? He hadn't released yet, it couldn't have been his Zanpakutou, so what on earth was causing this? However, she needed to focus on the here and now. Katsuro was holding back, but was already capable of pressuring her via step techniques, and aggressive attacks.

If Izanami backed up, or disengaged, Katsuro was just going to pursue, continuing to spam Shunpo to close the gap between him and her. She wasn't going to be running away from him. The only way to play this fight out was to meet him head on. But doing that was almost certainly going to end in her getting pressured down, given his two pronged fighting style, and his speed and strength allowing him to maneuver around and block her Claymore attacks. How would this fight pan out for Xcution's prodigy?

(I'll be tracking how many times Katsuro uses step techniques, his ranks in Stealth and Hoho allow him to conceal what is a step technique and what is just him being regularly fast, so you don't get to know accurately his reiatsu reserves )

[Izanami Midorikawa]

So this was how the battle for her escape was going to start out. Izanami starring at the dark skinned Shinigami trying to gauge his reiatsu. It was actually rather difficult though to sense him. The battle between the Quincy known as Ren and the Shinigami that employed kido was very reiatsu heavy. Not only that, but the strength of each of their reiatsu was enough that if she didn't brace herself each time it'd cause her a headache.

However, bracing herself wouldn't be effective for it took away attention so now as she felt the reiatsu of the dark skinned Shinigami she also could feel the other two. It wasn't good enough she'd have to fight him with only her physical senses. Right when she stopped sensing the reiatsu of the area the Shinigami vanished and Izanami had to make a move. She saw him right in front of her now thrusting his spear forwards while moving the other downwards.

Her right foot went to work stepping to the side her speed accelerated so that the spear passed by her side where her stomach had only just been an instant prior. Now the second spear was coming to sweep her legs out from under her. Izanami knew the trick though and felt that killing this Shinigami now was the best way to go about things. That's why her left hand was at her throat. She accelerated again moving into the guard of the Shinigami.

She was virtually close enough to almost be pressed against him. There was no angle for his spears to touch her now. However, she knew that this Shinigami still had the likelihood of being physically powerful. She couldn't take any chances after seeing his speed so as her foot touched the floor signifying how close she was now her Fullbring materialized into her left hand. Held in a reserve grip the massive blade was now held horizontal as Izanami moved her left arm forwards and attempted to take the head of the Shinigami.
