[spoiler=Chapter 10 – Sealing Darkness][align=center]Chapter 10 – Sealing Darkness

 

In only a few days, Renamon's training with Yoruichi became more and more intense, as Renamon had to straighten up and become a real warrior. She had soon mastered what martial art skills Yoruichi had to teach her, she had learned to control her Reiatsu pretty well and use a few simple Kidõ techniques, and her Shunpo level may have been the half of a regular Shinigami, but Yoruichi was impressed nevertheless. This day, they were training as usual. Renamon had not learnt the Shunko yet, and it was this that Yoruichi had pressed her extra hard for these days. Renamon and Yoruichi were in this moment sparring.

 

"You got to keep up more, Rena! Focus!" Yoruichi stated, as she ran behind Renamon with her Shunpo, and prepared to kick her. But Renamon span around, and was about to make her heel connect with Yoruichi's face, but she blocked it with her hand, clutching around Renamon's heel and lifting herself upwards, kicking at Renamon's head. She dodged and flipped backwards, landing away from Yoruichi. "You've gotten faster reflexes, Rena!" she complimented the Kitsune Digimon. Renamon smirked as she stood up.

 

"And you're gettin' rougher in the training, Yoruichi-sama." she replied, before using Shunpo herself and moving in front of Yoruichi, as a rapid exchange of blows and kicks were delivered between the two of them. One of the punches hit Yoruichi's palm so hard she actually winced for a short while, but ignored the pain as she continued to block and counter Renamon's fierce attacks. Renamon herself accidentally let some punches slip past her defense as well, her chest being the target. But regardless the force of the blows, she kept on fighting, because she knew that each punch that didn't kill her made her stronger. She grabbed Yoruichi's fist as it was about to hit her, and then threw her over her shoulder, making her fly in the air before landing on a tree trunk, dashing towards Renamon in attack. Renamon used Shunpo to dodge the first attack, but as soon as Yoruichi landed with her hands, she kicked behind her, and Renamon was hit as she reappeared behind her, receiving a hard kick on the chin. Renamon staggered backwards, holding her injured chin, but Yoruichi was on her again, kicking at her head. Renamon quickly deflected the blow, but Yoruichi disappeared in a flash again before reappearing above Renamon, her left foot up in the air as she was about to kick Renamon's head. She held up her arms in a cross, and the attack strenght was dampened.

 

"Ugh! Your attacks are harder than last time!" she commented, before spreading her arms out, making Yoruichi fly off them and land in front of Renamon. "You sure press me hard, Yoruichi."

 

"But you don't complain." Yoruichi smirked. "And that's what makes you special, compared to others of my students. They always complain and apologize when they do something wrong, and that tires me out on them. But you are special, because none of the moments in your training have you complained about me being too hard, just noticing it, and you haven't apologized when doing something wrong, but simply tried to improve. You're a good student, Renamon."

 

"Thanks, Yoruichi-sama." Renamon nodded with a smile. "I will still train if that is neccesary."

 

"That you should, Renamon. Your Shunko is still not enabled, though you show great signs that it will awaken in you soon." Yoruichi stated. "But you need a real challenge later or sooner, Renamon. I may be able to train you, but you need a worthy opponent to really test yourself against, and I don't know if there is someone I can find." Renamon was about to answer that question, but in that moment, she felt something inside her. Something was near her, and she felt its evil prescence in her. It was her. She stood up, and began to look towards the forest's east direction.

 

"I think I can find a challenge." she said calmly, and began to walk off. "Don't worry, Yoruichi. I will be back in an hour or two. I just need to look something up." she nodded confidently at Yoruichi, and then leaped off as she used Shunpo. Yoruichi was of course confident in that Renamon was speaking the truth, but she could not help but to feel that she was hiding something.

 

~~~~~~~~~~

 

Renamon was leaping through the woods, getting closer and closer to her destination; where she sensed the evil energy grow. It was more compact than energy itself, which usually floated in the skies around her, and it was staying on one, single spot, which made Renamon's determination even more concluded. It was her. The one that had been created when Orochimaru removed her Cursed Seal a long time ago. Whas she still alive, after all this time? Apparently, since Renamon sensed all this energy. She stopped for awhile, and rested briefly.

 

"How?" she asked herself. "How can she know I am all the way out here? It's not possible, unless I had a transmitter planted into my fur or something, which is highly impossible. No, it must be something else..." as she was talking and thinking for herself, she didn't notice that she was holding her head in pain, as if something was disturbing her. Suddenly, her eyesight darkened, and she was surrounded by darkness. Soon enough, a figure formed in front of her, stepping up to her. It was in the shape of a Renamon, but had purple fur and dark-red gloves instead of purple ones.

 

"Well well well... what have we here?" it smirked with a feminine voice, stroking Renamon's chin with one finger gently. Renamon growled and pushed her hand away.

 

"Get off me, b!tch..." she snarled at the copy. "I know that your real body is around here somewhere, so why not just tell me why you're here, where you are, and I'll kick your sweet little princess a$$ into next month." Renamon was clearly in a fighting mood, as she clutched her fists hard. The dark Renamon smirked at this, and merely chuckled at Renamon's attempts to intimidate her.

 

"Puh-lease." she smirked, waving her hand dismissively. "We both know that you're not even close to my power, and even if you were..." she lifted a part of her white mane around her left shoulder, and there it was; The Curse Mark. It had still endured since Renamon and her dark half separated. "...I still have this. See it? It's still as powerful as it was back then, and I've trained alot since that time. You can keep on trying and train and beat up random weaklings, but you'll never surpass me in a 1-on-1 battle. You know it... ssssssisssssster..." she hissed at the last word, giving Renamon painful memories about her former master and fatherfigure. But Renamon stood her ground, and glared at her dark clone's eyes.

 

"Look here, freak. I don't care how much you've trained, how powerful you are with that stupid mark, or how weak I am compared to you." Renamon spoke up, and the dark Renamon seemed a bit startled, but kept her cool with an evil smirk. "I will keep fighting, and keep on protecting Rika, because I know what it's like to have a true friend, unlike you. Your so-called 'Master', Orochimaru, is only using you for your power. He does not care about you in person. He's just a manipulative serpent. Don't listen to him, D. Renamon. He will betray y-"

 

"SILENCE!" D. Renamon roared, and shot out a purple crystal shard at Renamon, which she dodged with Shunpo, seemingly disappearing for D. Renamon's eyes. "Huh?! What now?!" she snarled, but before she could see her again, a fist connected to her gut, and she gargled loudly as she was brough to her knees, holding her stomach. "A-Agh! C-C-Curse you..." she looked up to see Renamon above her, who grabbed her by the collar of her mane and brought her up to her face.

 

"Not so cocky now, are you?" she frowned, and tightened the grip around D. Renamon's mane. "You can keep babbling away about your stupid tattoo mark or how powerful you are, but I have trained, and become stronger than you can imagine. There's no chance for you to beat me again..." as she was about to finish her sentence, she saw that D. Renamon was... melting. Like hot wax, she was bubbling and melting away in Renamon's grasp, and she gasped as she let go of the melting Dark Digimon, as she dissolved into a puddle of goo. "W-What was..." she started, but then, a loud cackle was heard.

 

Aahahahahahahaha!! B!tch, please! Did you think that IMPOSTER was me? Really, you are pathetic, sis'! That was a mere decoy so you could get pepped up and fight ME, instead of your own shadow! Now then, I'll be waitin' for ya! Cíao! the darkness around Renamon lifted, as she regained her vision. She shook her head because of her dizziness, and looked around.

 

"H-Huh? What now? Was that a dream... or just a vision?" she said to herself, looking to the east. She felt the power flare up again, but this time, more intense. She knew that D. Renamon was waiting for her. "Ok then, 'sister'... let's end this..." she said, and raced off.

 

~~~~~~~~~~

 

When Renamon finally stopped moving, she was in front of an ancient temple ruin. The pillars, suggestively of Greek origin, were covered in vines and otherwise vegetation, and the tiles were filled with dirt. She sighed as she saw the once graceful temple remains being so filthy now, but this was not the time to worry about those old things. She had someone to meet.

 

"I know you're here..." she snarled, looking around the surroundings. She knew that somewhere around here, D. Renamon was hiding. "Show yourself." she stated simply, and as on command, dark energy began to circle around Renamon rapidly, almost consuming her. "W-What?! What is this?! GEDOFF ME!!" she struggled to shout as she waved her hands frantically in order to whip off the darkness around her. But it did not go away, until the darkness had sort of 'scanned' her entire body, and then went in front of Renamon on a safe distance, forming up til' it took the shape of a black-furred Renamon with gleaming red eyes and red gloves.

 

"What's up, sis'? Ya look a lil' tense..." the dark Renamon smirked, before standing up. "I know, I know, this is no time for cheerful family reunions, but I just feel like chattin' for awhile! Been locked up all this time, ya know?"

 

"Locked up? What the hell are you talking about?" snarked Renamon. "You were released from my body by that damn snake-guy Orochimaru. You haven't been 'locked up' anytime..." this made D. Renamon chuckle.

 

"Please, Orochimaru 'released' me? No. No he didn't. Ya see, he only made a CLONE of me, with the powers of his Cursed Seal implanted in it. I'm still the dark side of your heart, Renamon. You can't deny it. We're bound to each other, ya know what I'm sayin'? I am still inside you..." Renamon was shocked as she heard this. D. Renamon was still in her? But how? How was that possible? "And by the way... even if it was the clone that had that 'little tattoo' as you call it... I still got it." she brushed away her mane a bit and revealed a blood-red mark near her neck, along her shoulder. She put the mane in place again.

 

"B-But... no... it's not true..." Renamon began to feel hesitation and fear grab her soul in a vicegrip. D. Renamon simply put her hands on her hips and looked annoyed.

 

"Ya don't believe me? Fine then, guess I'll have to BEAT it into ya!" she rushed towards Renamon and vanished for a slight moment, before reappearing in front of Renamon, grabbing her head and pulling her along, smashing her head-first into a ruin wall. She shouted in pain as her face connected with the hard rock, but it didn't stop there as D. Renamon pulled her up and turned her to face her, then punched her face as she was pushed back against the wall. Then, D. Renamon unleashed a furiously fast barrage of punches at Renamon's chest and face, pummeling her like a ragdoll before clasping her hands together and smacking Renamon through the wall, as she landed on the tile floor. She was gasping for air, wincing in pain as she struggled to stand up again. D. Renamon simply smirked and walked towards Renamon. "Keh, finished already?"

 

"F-F-Far from..." Renamon stuttered, spitting out blood and putting up her fists. "I'm ready to go."

 

"Good." smirked D. Renamon. "I was afraid that it was all you got." she rushed towards Renamon, but she vanished and appeared behind D. Renamon, hoping to surprise her. But as she punched at D. Renamon, she simply grabbed her fist from behind. "Puh-lease, dont' think I didn't see that." she smirked, and swung around, kicking Renamon in the side. She coughed up blood as D. Renamon kicked her, but was then kicked in the jaw and sent flying. D. Renamon pursued Renamon, and appeared above her, kicking her down again as her heel connected to Renamon's gut, and Renamon crashed down into the hard tile floor. Dust and debree was sent flying into the air as Renamon crashed to the ground, but as fast as she crashed into the ground, she got up and managed to stand up. She was holding her side in pain, and her gaze was slightly dimmed.

 

"D-Don't think... that's a-all I... I-I got..." she managed to mumble, spitting out blood and standing up again, watching as her darker 'self' descended in front of her. "Y-You can beat me all ya want... but I won't give up... ever!" with this, she managed to find the force to rush at D. Renamon, and throw a punch at her, but she simply leaned to the left and dodged it. Though, what D. Renamon was not prepared for was seeing Renamon's foot coming at her, and she got kicked in the face. After the rather powerful kick, she got a punch into her chest, making her gasp for air. Renamon finished it by grabbing her face and smacking her into the floor. She jumped up and held her hands over her head, clasping them together and charging up a yellow sphere in them, which crackled a bit of the energy.

 

Bakudō #4. Hainawa!

 

She put her hands in front of her, and fired off a rope of energy towards them as it entangled itself around D. Renamon's arms, leaving her immobile. "Keh, is this all you got?!" she mocked Renamon, and tried to break free from the Hainawa, which seemed to put strain on the Bakudõ spell.

 

"Far from it! I'm not done yet!" Renamon called, as she held her palm in front of her, and a red sphere was formed in it.

 

Hadō #31. Shakkahō!

 

The sphere fired towards D. Renamon, racing ever closer to her as it finally crashed upon her in a blast of fire and cinders. Renamon watched as the fire died out, and finally, the ground was visible. But D. Renamon was not there.

 

"Please. Don't say you thought that your simple Kidō tricks could harm me!" a voice snickered, before D. Renamon was visible in front of Renamon, being a bit charred, but unharmed. Her left leg seemed to have been injured by a debree splinter, since it was bleeding slightly, but she was still able to stand up in the air in front of Renamon. "Now now, don't be shocked over how I survived, it was..."

 

"I'm not." Renamon interrupted, making D. Renamon feel shocked herself. "I knew that the Hainawa wouldn't keep you still for long, hence why I fired the Shakkahō so early. I hoped to at least hit you with enough force to hit you before you escaped, which I seemed to succeed with." she eyed D. Renamon's injured leg as she said this. "In other words, I wasn't even hoping that the Bakudō would immobilize you through the whole fight, for where would the fun be, in that case?" she smirked a bit as she said the last thing, and her counterpart snarled as she was mimicked by Renamon.

 

"You tramp! Shut up!" she roared, and charged at Renamon, throwing a punch at her. But with a single move, Renamon used Shunpo to dodge the attack, and as she reappeared behind D. Renamon, she gave her a strong punch in the back, making her arch in pain. Renamon then locked her leg with D. Renamon's legs, and held her head in her free hand, bringing both her legs and neck backwards, her fist still in D. Renamon's back. "A-Aaaggh!!!! C-CURSE YOU!!!"

 

"Just give up." Renamon stated simply. "And get out of my body." this made D. Renamon's anger flare up to its limits. She was suppose to say that. She was the one to hold Renamon in this grasp of death. Not HER! She was superior! She had all the powers she needed to defeat the weak copy that used to be her host, and she could easily control her! But why? Why was she so... strong?!

 

"I... I..." D. Renamon repeated, and purple/violet energy flared around her body like flames licking and caressing it, and making Renamon startled and letting go of her. The mark on D. Renamon's shoulder flared up in blood-red and orange flames, as it spread around her body, forming the hideous wave-shaped marks of blood she so much recognized and resented. "I... I won't... I won't..." D. Renamon kept repeating, now in a more dark and deep tone. The marks now turned her body dark as night itself, and the energy inside her formed shockwaves that made the trees around them wave and almost tear up by the roots, and Renamon had to hold herself standing in the place she was on to not be thrown away in the winds. "I-I WON'T BE BEATEN BY A WEAKLING B!TCH LIKE YOU!!!!" she roared finally, and the darkness around her shattered, forming the cruel creature of which only nightmares could conjure; her fur being black as night, her arms forming obsidian crystal with talons as sharp as knives, and her tail splitting into nine, each one a rotting, decaying arm and hand with purple skin and brown, rotten flesh seen through the wounds. Spikes of the same crystalline material formed from her back in rows of two, and four slits on her head indicated the growth of a second pair of blood-red gleaming eyes. She was a nightmare incarnate now. She had reached the Cursed Seal's second transformation.

 

The real fight was beginning.

 

~~~~~~~~~~

 

D. Renamon let out a deafening roar as the area around the two Digimon shook violently, and then she glared at Renamon with fire in her red eyes. She was not going to let her win this time. Not now, not ever. She was the one superior. She was the only one to control their actions.

 

"You won't defeat me, fox b!tch! I am the superior of us two, both in mind power and fighting power! I am the surpreme side of your little frail mind! You won't defeat me! NEVER!!!" she shouted, and charged up to Renamon, one of her tail-arms flinging at her and grabbing her before extending and slamming her down into the ground.

 

"AGH!! How?! How can you extend your arms like that!? I was not able t- AAAGH!!" Renamon started, but growled in pain as she was pummeled by a second fist in the face.

 

"Hahahaha! Don't you know?! I am the DARK side of you! I have far more knowing of your Cursed Seal powers than you ever will! I can use them to my full advantage, where you only could use a portion of their powers! For instance... THIS!!" D. Renamon manically cackled as all her nine tail-fists mercilessly pummeled down on Renamon in a hailstorm of punches and slashes, tearing up her skin and breaking her bones. ""CHAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! C'MON, C'MON, C'MON, C'MON, C'MON!!!" she roared and laughed insanely as Renamon was beaten to submission, and as the attack ended, Renamon was nearly dead as she laid there, panting and shivering in pain.

 

"T-T-This is a... a-a nightmare..." she managed to gasp, the pain in her body being too great for her to almost think straight. "S-She's a monster..." she stood up on her knees and hands, coughing up blood every 10th second. "I-I-I'm not going down... n-not now... I-I..." Renamon slowly stood up on her knees, supporting herself with one hand on her left knee as she stood up. "I-I got to... t-to win!" she felt the adrenaline pump in her veins, being so close to death, yet so close to living the time of her life as well. She felt this energy enhance the Reiatsu inside her, and felt it pulsing with her blood. She looked up at D. Renamon as she was looking down at her with a frown on her face.

 

"Oh, finished already?" she yawned, and pulled back her nine arm-tails, as they wriggled behind her in anticipation of another smackfest. "How bad for you, I was hoping you would have more of a challenge in you, but I suppose that you're just another good-for-nothing pushover who tries to take credit from others, as usual. Well well...... guess I have to end this quickly." she made seals with her front hands, and held her right hand downwards, supporting it with her left hand as a lightning ball formed inside her right palm, then it turned black. She was using the Chidori Lament. All her nine hands now also had the same spheres in their palms, and death seemed to be the only outcome for Renamon. But now, Renamon was more pissed than ever, and she felt that no wound could stop her from completing her current goal; destroying D. Renamon. In this moment, she felt the Reiatsu inside her build up even more, until it felt like it was about to burst.

 

"You... you have no right to talk to me like that." she said with a low voice, looking up at D. Renamon, not the slightest afraid of her fate. Her Reiatsu began to show around her shoulders, flaring up like small fire cinders. "You think that you're so powerful, just because of the power of your techniques. Well, you're wrong. Power is measured in your own power, the power of your fists, your body, your heart. You can't measure your own strenght on simple spells and transformations, cause that is foolish. The true strenght is from yourself. You never realised that, and in your defeat, you denied it, and brainwashed me to think that power was in the techniques I used. But I got rid of you, or at least your thoughts. I trained on my own, and so I got stronger. I will defeat you now, and seal you inside of me. Maybe I will regain that stupid mark, but I bet that I will be able to control it. But before you leave me, allow me to introduce you to a new technique I've learned..." she raised her right hand, and clutched it to a fist. The Reiatsu around her now began to form fire around her, which danced in a blue, ghostly color. And then, with a mere whisper, she uttered one word;

 

"Shunko!"

 

And with this, her Reiatsu was released into her back and shoulders, as it flared up in a massive, blue flame behind her. She gave D. Renamon a death glare before completely standing up.

 

"Now..." she said, as the Reiatsu around her burned and danced around her body. "This is my ultimate technique; the Shunko. Yoruichi taught me this technique, and it is able to boost the power in my arms and legs. Your Chidori won't be able to hit me, now that I am faster... and more powerful. You're finished." D. Renamon was actually worried of Renamon's power increase, and felt it dazzle her even from the distance she was at.

 

"W-What's this?" she asked herself, looking at the fire surrounding Renamon. "This must be some sort of ultimate technique. Finally! My chance to overpower that little wench! She must be too exhausted to properly control it now, so she would most likely fail!" she leaped forward, all of her hands with Chidori in them in front of her. "YOU'RE FINISHED! RENAMON!!!!!"

 

"......" Renamon simply jumped up at her foe, her Reiatsu flaring up more around her shoulder as she charged through the air. This was it. One of them were going down, and neither knew about who was going to. D. Renamon lunged all of her nine arms forward, the Chidori spheres in them sizzling and crackling with pure electricity. Renamon saw them heading towards her, and used her increased speed to dodge them heading towards her. Though one of the hands were slightly closer to her arm than the others, and the Jutsu cut through her arm, but she ignored the pain as she brought back her other arm, and prepared for impact. The look on her face was stern and focused, and D. Renamon was madly laughing and screaming as she brought her normal arm forward, the Chidori sphere in it about to collide with Renamon's chest. But Renamon saw this coming at her, and with a nano-second's notice, she managed to get away from the lethal attack, and lunged her fist at D. Renamon. All that happened after that, was a giant, fiery blast of blue flames, seen from afar.

 

~~~~~~~~~~

 

Yoruichi - who had already sensed the massive Reiatsu from Renamon's Shunko - was rushing through the woods to Renamon's and D. Renamon's battle site, hoping for the better, but preparing for the worst. As she quickly arrived to the scene, she found Renamon only, lying on the ground, wounded and bruised. She was not moving, but barely visible chest heavings indicated she was breathing. Satisfied that her student hadn't killed herself, Yoruichi went up to Renamon and helped her up, as her consciousness quickly returned.

 

"U-Ugh.... w-what happened?" she asked as she looked around, seeing Yoruichi. She was smiling at her. "W-What? W-What have I d-done now?"

 

"You proved to me that your training was successful." said Yoruichi, patting Renamon's shoulder gently. "You used Shunko." Renamon was slightly baffled at this, and blinked a few times.

 

"I-I did?" she asked, just to get it confirmed.

 

"Yes you did, and I am very proud of you." Yoruichi nodded. "By the way, who was the one you battled with? I sure sensed alot of powerful Reiatsu, so it must of been someone powerful." Renamon nodded at this, and looked down on her paws.

 

"It was D. Renamon. The dark side of my consciousness." she said, and looked up at the sky, where a few birds could be seen flying past. "She was... all the things I've locked away. The madness, the sorrow... the rage and power-hunger. She was me in a negative way. I battled her... and it seems I beated her... but not... entirely. She is still inside me, but I control her now. I, and no one else." Yoruichi was about to ask how, but Renamon merely showed her something under her mane; The Cursed Seal. It was back again, but the black color of it had dimmed slighty, showing that the power of it had faded. "I control it, so she can't emerge as easily as last time."

 

"I see. Good thing you don't let her control you then." Yoruichi nodded with a smile. "Well, we need to get you back to my hut. You're pretty beat up, ya know?"

 

"Just...... let me be here for one more moment." Renamon asked Yoruichi. "I need... to be alone for awhile." nodding, Yoruichi took off, leaping back to her hut. Renamon turned to the crashed and almost demolished temple ruin, and bowed down on her left knee, supporting herself with her right hand. "Thank you... 'sister'... you helped my training to be complete..." and with this, she stood up, and vanished in a cloud of leaves and dust, and serenity once again arose in nature.

Wait if the D. Renamon she fought was sealed inside her shouldn't it know everything Renamon knew?

 

But that's the thing with dark sides, they are weird and the way to beat them are always different. So don't worry about it.

 

Is D. Renamon dead, sealed, or did it escape?

To answer Nexev's question; she is re-sealed into Renamon's body. She was almost taking her over when Orochimaru had her in the first Union Book, and when he 'released' the Cursed Seal from her, he just made an illusion to make Renamon THINK D. Renamon was gone, and so she got the confidence to seal her inside herself.

[spoiler=Chapter 11 – I Was Only Going Easy On Ya!][align=center]Chapter 11 - "I Was Only Going Easy On Ya!"

 

Yoruichi had returned with Renamon, hoping that she would be healed in time. The wounds inflicted on her from her battle with D. Renamon were lethal, so she had to work fast. As both of them got to Yoruichi's hut, Renamon was ordered to bed, and she didn't oppose the orders given.

 

"That fight was rougher than I thought..." Yoruichi pondered as she prepared a healing tincture on her desk, with Renamon sleeping peacefully. "All the bones in her arms are broken, her legs are almost demolished, seven ribs are shattered, and her internal organs are in pain, it seems. She got guts to stand her ground as long as she did, yet even more guts to activate Shunko in that state. Foolish brat. She could have totally ruined herself, and she didn't care of it." the potion that Yoruichi was mixing was almost complete now, as it was bubbling and sizzling in its vial. Yoruichi looked at Renamon with a slight smile.

 

"But then again... I could not blame her for a victory. Especially a victory over herself, if what she says is true. Well... I was never the one to say goodbyes..." she nodded for herself, as she began scribbling a note, and then putting it and the vial next to Renamon on a nightstand. After that, she sat near Renamon on the bed, just looking at her. This was probably the last time she would see this mysteriously powerful Kitsune creature again, but she didn't regret it at all. After all, it was her duty to leave now. She closed her eyes slighty, remembering what had happened before she left to this realm.

 

~~~~~Flashback~~~~~

 

Yoruichi had been assigned to meet with the 6th Shinigami Squad Captain; Byakuya Kuchiki. She had a little regret on meeting such a serious, almost 'cold-hearted' man, but she had her duties to fulfill, being a Shinigami still. And it seemed that this was a time of crisis, or else they would of not called on her expertise. Leaping between the trees in her cat form, and with a bundle of clothes strapped on her back, she soon made it to the walls of Soul Society, where she gracefully leaped up on one of the marble-white walls, and then - as quick as a black bolt - leaped into an empty hut, changing back to her human form and unwrapped her clothes from the bundle, strapping on them rather quickly. She exited the hut as nothing had happened, but to her slight surprise, a katana was aimed at her throat.

 

"You should be on your guard more often... Yoruichi Shihōin." said a firm male voice in front of her, before the katana was brought away and sheathed. Yoruichi saw a man with slate gray eyes and long black hair, which he kept up in an intricate white headpiece called a kenseikan that symbolized his nobility as the head of the Kuchiki family. He wore the standard captain uniform along with a white scarf, and had fingerless gloves which covered up only the back of his hands. He was Byakuya Kuchiki, the one who had contacted her.

 

"It pains me to see that you are still like this, Byakuya Kuchiki." Yoruichi admitted, but Byakuya didn't even flinch. "Now, what is the matter?" Byakuya turned to look at the moon, as did Yoruichi. "Hmm? What now?"

 

"There has been... a mystery occuring." Byakuya finally spoke up, and looked seriously at Yoruichi. "Captain-Commander has sensed that alot of the Arrancars that we have fought in the past - including some of the Espadas - have somehow been revived and brought back into another realm. This troubles all of Soul Society greatly, and as the Captain-Commander, he has ordered all the Gotei 13 to be on guard and send out their strongest Liutenants and Vice-Captains to the Human Realm, where the Arrancar energy has been spotted. To be honest... it feels as if we are fighting shadows of the past, not looking forward to our battles at hand."

 

"Never knew you were that serious, Byakuya Kuchiki..." Yoruichi said, a bit surprised of how seriously Byakuya took the situation. She felt that there was a slight hint of... doubt in his voice, but it shook off as he spoke again.

 

"Yoruichi." he said simply. "I will ask you of one favor, since you have... basically saved my life with the Utsusemi Technique..."

 

"Hmm? What happened to you hatin' me and all that?" asked Yoruichi. She knew that she and Byakuya shared a long-time grudge against each other, mostly because she was better on Shunpo than Byakuya was, but now, he seemed to had put it aside for the moment only. Was the situation with all the Arrancars so serious, that he had to ask her for help?

 

"Don't think that this changes anything." Byakuya added shortly after Yoruichi spoke, reassuring her that he still held her in distain. "Now, what I want you to do is to infiltrate whatever base these Arrancars uses as a hide-out, and find out if there is someone or something that keeps them there. And if this happens to be the source that resurrected them, then report to Soul Society at once." he turned away from Yoruichi and walked away from the scene, leaving Yoruichi confused because she didn't know why Byakuya entrusted her with this task. "Before you wonder anything, this was merely a duty of me being a Captain. Nothing else. I felt that you have the better judgement of Steath Operations, and so would be the better one for the job. Captain-Commander would not advise your for the job. He has banished you once, and he won't change his judgement. Now, fulfill the task I gave you."

 

~~~~~End Flashback~~~~~

 

Yoruichi snapped back to reality as she remembered the moment that Byakuya Kuchiki had asked her to perform this mission. She was still sort of confused, since they'd been enemies for a long time now. She simply guessed that he had to, since no one else would seem to fit for the job. She was leaping through a massive part of the forest as she was thinking, just trying to find a way into the Negative Dimension, where the Arrancars would presumably be. Of course, she had no idea it was called the Negative Dimension, but it was another dimension where the Arrancars were, nevertheless. Yoruichi stopped for awhile to gain some breath, and she used this time to look around the surroundings.

 

"It is awfully...... quiet." she stated. She made sure that nothing was around one more time before confirming it was safe to stay, and stood up. In this moment, however, she felt a strong field of spiritual pressure load up near her, and had just a mere second to dodge before a bright crimson beam of energy fired off near her location, disintegrating the tree she was standing in along with a wide arch of trees behind it. She reappeared in midair before she was joined by a small kid - presumably 13 years old - who seemed to use Sónido to appear in front of her.

 

"Peek-A-Fuckin'-Boo." he smirked, before lashing a kick at Yoruichi, which she easily deflected with her fists. She was about to counter-attack, but a red energy flared up in the kid's fist, and as he lashed it at her, a red energy sphere flew straight into her chest at close range, as it detonated and sended her flying backwards. Taking support in the air, Yoruichi managed to brake her air ride and stood still in a few seconds. She was looking at the boy, who was unmistakably the one responsible for firing the Cero she dodged not a few seconds ago.

 

"Who are you, kiddo?" she spat out, frowning at the kid. He simply shrugged at this and smirked at Yoruichi, his fist still crackling from the energy of the Bala.

 

"Me? I got alot of names." he said with a grin. "But I would prefer if you call me Quint Jaeger. Anyhow, I bet you are surprised of how I can master the Cero, Sónido, and the Bala techniques, even if I am not an Arrancar, eh? Well, that's because I'm one of the Regulants! And I'm a quick learner on top of that!" Quint seemed to be overall happy, as his smirk never fainted from his devilish lips. Yoruichi took note of this, and stood straight up in a fighting stance.

 

"A Regulant? That's not something I've heard of in my entire life. Who is this guy? He is in the stature of a mere child, yet his attacks are that of a full-grown Arrancar. I don't know what's going on anymore, but I'll be damned before I know about it." she smirked at Quint. "I'm surprised. That Bala of yours was pretty powerful. Maybe even more powerful than the ones I've been hit by earlier. But I warn you, kiddo..." Yoruichi cracked her knuckles and got in a fighting stance. "Don't ever underestimate me." Quint seemed amused that he had a fight on his hands, as he got into a fighting pose himself.

 

"Well, well... this will prove amusing for me. I'm surprised you don't back down from my challenge, but then again... some are just too much of a bravado that they foolishly charge at me anyways." Quint smirked. "I sincerestly don't care if they want a fight or not, but what annoys me is the idiocy they base their attacks on. I've heard countless screams of "I am better than you!" and "I can beat you!" for far too long, since they judge me by my appearance and behavior. So I will warn YOU, Yoruichi Shihōin..." Yoruichi gasped as Quint said her name. He knew who she was! "...do not underestimate me." and with this, he charged at Yoruichi, his fist raised high, and Yoruichi had only a second to react as she put up her arm and blocked the attack, but Quint was... amazingly strong. The moment his fist connected to her arm, she was punched downwards, and crashed into the woods. She got up shortly enough, only to find that her arm was in pain.

 

"D-Damn. He broke my arm with that attack. That brat's got muscles, no doubt about it. But how? How was he so strong?" she said to herself, forcefully raising her left broken arm into fighting mode. "I'm still gonna beat him!" she said, and leaped up into the air, pursuing Quint. But he was merely standing still and waiting for Yoruichi to come to him.

 

"Heh... you just don't know when to give up, do you?" he smirked, and raised his fists. "Fine by me, at least I get some exercise." as Yoruichi came up to him, he immidiently punched at her, but she was quick at using Shunpo and making Quint miss. Quint smirked, and as Yoruichi appeared behind him, he disappeared by using Sónido and reappeared with his front turned to her, and kicked her stomach, which made her gargle in pain. But she was quick to grab Quint's foot, which surprised him, as she kicked his face by turning herself along the foot. Quint floated backwards awhile as he and Yoruichi were standing in the air facing each other. Quint shrugged as he wiped off some blood from his lips. "So, you managed to kick me once? So what, big deal. I can punch you a hundred times!"

 

"Then prove it." Yoruichi demanded, and raised her right hand, waving her fingers at her in an attempt to taunt Quint. "Bring it."

 

"Another fool rushes to her early grave... excellent."

 

~~~~~~~~~~

 

The battle had been a really ferocious one as it had merely passed about two or three minutes already. Quint was having a slight advantage due to his use of raw physical strenght, which was impressive from his stature of a small kid, while Yoruichi had to use the utmost of her speed to dodge and counter Quint's attacks. Quint and Yoruichi were locked in a melee fight as they punched and kicked at each other with full speed. Yoruichi had managed to get behind Quint and kick his back, as he staggered forwards and held his back. Yoruichi charged in for another attack, but Quint had other plans and stomped into the ground, which made a huge crack split the ground into a circular platform, which Quint grabbed with his bare hands and lifted straight above his head. The platform must of been around ten or fifteen feet in diameter, and Quint smacked it down upon Yoruichi, but she naturally dodged the attack with a quick-used Shunpo.

 

"Hahaha! You're a quick rat, Yoruichi!" Quint shouted at her as he pursued her with Sónido before appearing in front of her and shooting a Bala at her with his fist, which made Yoruichi brake sharply and sidestep from the Bala. Quint then appeared in front of her and grabbed her sides, lifting her over his head and squeezing her in his hands, crushing her bones in his grasp.

 

"A-Aaagh!!! L-Let go of me!" Yoruichi shrieked in pain before kicking at Quint's face and letting herself loose, but only temporarily as Quint managed to grab Yoruichi by the hair and whack her into the ground again. Yoruichi managed to get up again in a handstand and kicked Quint in the side of the head as he staggered to the side slightly. "You better learn to expect any sort of attack!" she mocked him, and then punched his gut, sending him flying backwards, crashing into a few trees as he flew back. Somehow he managed to put his feet into the ground and brake sharply as the ground tore up around his feet. He had to admit, she was strong. No wonder she was one of the previous 2nd Squad Captains. Yoruichi used Shunpo and moved up to Quint, grabbing his collar and pulling him up to face her. "Now, tell me, brat. Why are you here, and who do you work for?" Quint seemed to shrug a bit.

 

"Whatever, I guess I could tell you." he said with a tone that could be interpreted as if he was not interested in fighting anymore. Yoruichi looked suspisciously at him, but dropped him down and saw him rise to his feet. He brushed off his suit before he looked up at Yoruichi.

 

"Now pay attention, I hate repeating myself..." he said, and Yoruichi nodded slowly. "I am Quint, as I said earlier, and I work for something called The Regulants. Even if I know that it is completely idiotic to tell you the name of our organization, you won't live long enough anyways. Anyhow, the Regulants are lead by Broken, our master and - for some of us - "God". He is usually locked up in our HQ, and won't show his face unless it is very important. And here's the fun part..." he smirked, not showing the Cero he was charging behind his back. Suddenly, Yoruichi noticed that his Reiatsu began to rise, and a scarlet red flare lit up behind him. "You're dead." Quint finished, before lunging his fist forward and opened it up, blasting Yoruichi with his Cero, as it blasted a wide arc in front of him. As the Cero ceased, smoke was littering the battlefield as Quint frowned a bit. He looked disappointingly behind him. "No need to hide, Yoruichi. Come out." he stated, and then, Yoruichi appeared behind him, throwing a punch at him. Quint sighed, and simply held up his hand, blocking her attack and squeezing her fist in his palm. "You are strong, Yoruichi." he admitted.

 

"But clearly..." Yoruichi added, as she lifted herself into the air, and then brought her feet down at Quint's head, kicking him into the ground. She leaped off him and landed a few feet away from him. "Not powerful enough to beat you. You are more powerful than any Hollow, Arrancar, Shinigami or anything I have faced in my life. You are clearly something special." Quint rose to his feet again, seemingly unharmed. He cracked his neck and looked at Yoruichi.

 

"Why I suppose I'd thank you for the comment." he said simply. "But this is not the time for simple games. I have to return to my master soon, and I have little time wasting on you."

 

"Wasting on me?!" Yoruichi demanded. "W-What do you mean?!" Quint smirked at her scared look, gritting his teeth.

 

"B!tch, please." he said. "I was only going easy on ya!"

 

~~~~~~~~~~

 

Yoruichi then felt it. His Reiatsu flared up like never before, and it was like a wall of pure energy for her. She was actually pushed backwards of its intensity, her feet scraping in the dirt as she felt it push against her body and almost blew her mind. She was amazed on how a creature in this small stature could be able to be so strong, yet be able to contain all that energy. The skies above them rumbled, as if he was the conjurer of a lethal storm of some sort.

 

"Come on, Yoruichi." he said. "The only way to beat me now, is if you release your Shunko." Yoruichi gasped a bit as he mentioned the Shunko. How did he know about it? Then again, if he knew about Sónido, Bala, Cero, and her name, then he had to know about the Shunko as well. "I am far more powerful than you now, but if you release your Shunko now, then you will have the advantage you need over me. So come on and release it already, or I'll destroy this entire area!" he stomped into the ground, as a powerful earthquake of miniature scale erupted from the soil, crumbling the earth beneath them. Yoruichi leaped off into the air, but she had Quint after her, and he kicked her down into the ground, as a giant dust cloud and a bang signaled her impact. He smirked. He had won this time, again. But before he was about to leave, he heard Yoruichi managing to get up from a huge crater. She was wounded, and gasped for air awhile.

 

"N-Not so fast..." she managed, standing up by supporting herself on her knees. "Y-You... w-what are you?!"

 

"Didn't I tell you?" Quint sighed. "I'm a Regulant... one of the Five... and you... and this world... are doomed..." and with this, he held up his hand, and a fissure in time and space seemed to be made. Yoruichi did not believe her eyes. He knew about Garganta as well? "Well, I got to go now, it seems. But I promise you... you won't live if we meet again." and with this, he was away, leaving a wounded Yoruichi alone in the ruined forest. She sighed, and forced herself up on her legs. She knew what to do now, and nodded for herself. She began to walk away. She had to get back to her hut, warn Renamon about this, and hopefully make it in time to warn the Union as well. But then, her fears were ignited as she felt another Garganta open up far away from her position.

 

"W-What?! Why is another Garganta opened? W-Wait... i-it can't be!!" she was cut short as she began to leap off, trying to go as fast as she could.

 

The Union of Justice was in trouble.
