"No I'm not, in fact I'm sure there was more to it then that. I for one applaud him fighting for the person he cares about I know I would do the same." He said his mind flashing to Chihiro smiling. "So if a fight is needed to get his anger out so he can fight our enemies later on so be it."

"But a fight against our allies? I will say no more, because I cannot argue about fighting for someone you car for..." Jason replied, turning from Brandon to watch the end of the fighting.
Brad was in shock, he could not believe that Ken would go this far.
"THATS IT!" Brad yelled, electricity flowing from his body.
"HOld on for jsut a moment Brad, I think Tessai can handle this." Urahara said, flashsteping to Brad and holding his cane out in front of Brad.
Tessai Had folded his hands into a strange shape, his middle fingers extended, and his Index fingers folded around them, as for his ring and pinky fingers, they where intrertwined as well.
"Ribbions that bind Fenerier come forth! Bakudô #99, Part 1. Kin! " Tessai yelled, summoning Black ribbions with metal talismans from the ground, completley binding Ken's body, forcing him to the ground.
" Walls of iron sand, a priestly pagoda, glowing ironclad fireflies. Standing upright, silent to the end! Bakudô # 75. Gochûtekkan! " The ex Kido captian yelled, showing his emmence power with the Reshi arts, summoning five giant Reshi infused Steel Pillers to pen Ken to his place.
"Theres no way he can break this, now Brad, go heal Kage, use this." Mr.Urahara handed the young leader a needle full of Strange, green chunky liquid.
"Oh Kage is going to hate me for using this on him..." Brad chucled, dashing over to his downed 2nd in command.
"In the arm... the leg? Oh fuck it." Brad said, stabbing Kage in the chest with the needle, the green vile of liquid flowing into Kage's body, healing him from within.
'Ken... god damnit...'
"THATS IT!" Brad yelled, electricity flowing from his body.

'Ken... god damnit...'
Ken wheezed and panted as his body locked into place. He still had not recovered from Kage's attack. "Wha- What's happening!? I can't move!!!!" Ken wheezed.
"Thats the point, your not going to be able to move." Urahara said, grabing his fan.
"Now you just sit there untel you burn off your energy, think of it as time out." He smiled.
"Now you just sit there untel you burn off your energy, think of it as time out." He smiled.
Brandon stared as Ken/Ryukiba was restrained and the strange liquid was injected into Kages body. He looked to Ken as he was restrained by the pillers of steel and Reshi. So this is bankai? Hmm seems like our powers could get very dangerous, but this is needed. Brandon looked around and smiled when he saw who he was looking for. He approached Urahara "Excuse me Mr. Urahara, I was wondering, is there a way for us o reach our bankai quicker? Preferably not the way Ken reached it, seems like that made him go a bit crazy."
Urahara laughed at Brandon's comment.
"Why yes I do Brandon, its this thing right here." He said, a strange statue with a sash comming from the center, wraping around the left sholder, and reattaching to the back.
"This doll will help anyone achieve Bankai in three days, This is how I got Bankai myself." He braged, Brandon looking on.

Kage's body remained in a crumbled heap as Brad ran across the training center over to him. Ken's blow had all but killed him. Drifting in and out of existance even Kage could not fathom how he was still alive, and even so, he found it hard to believe it in his subconscious state. The only reason he knew he was still alive was...because of her.
"Kage..." he heard Gleams voice. She sounded far away, so far that her voice seemed like nothing but an echo.
"Kage...you're not done yet... she spoke to him, like a specter in his mind. Suddenly his eyes shot open. There was a needle jabbed in his chest with Brad over him. Brought back to the conscious world suddenly he was keenly aware of what was going on. Inside his body he could feel the agony as the bones in his torso moved, twisting and snapping as they put themselves back together. His internal organs shifted under his skin, reaching out to each other and knitting themselves back together again.
As he laid there in the dirt his face twisted into one of pain, gritting his teeth together as whatever Brad had stuck him with revived him from the brink. But it took all of ten seconds for it to finish repairing his body. The pain, of course, would linger. However, as soon as his insides stopped tying themselves in knots and the pain dropped to levels he could tolerate, he pulled an arm up to push himself up off the ground.
"Brad?" Kage asked as he lifted his head and looked up, "What was that stuff? I dunno which was worse, getting hit by Ken, getting hit by the cleaner, or whatever you shot me with."

Ken coughed and wheezed as he struggled to move his body an inch. His ability to breathe normally had returned to him while he hung in the air.
"Brad! Why am i imprisoned here!? You saw that Kage just tried to kill me! Why am I being strung up for retaliation!?" Ken roared as he fought in vain against his bindings.
"Brad! Why am i imprisoned here!? You saw that Kage just tried to kill me! Why am I being strung up for retaliation!?" Ken roared as he fought in vain against his bindings.
Brad smiled at Kage.
"It made you better, do you need to know any more?" He joked.
Urahara looked to Brandon.
"Here, it compacts, take it with you, it might even take less time for you, sense you have your split personality Shikai." He commented.
Brad the heard Ken, patting Kage on the sholder, he got up and walked over to Ken.
"What I saw was you going out of control." Brad snarled.
"You do not do that to a teammate, And you will be repremended when we get back hom, Unless you start pulling your damn weight with this group and fall in line! This is your last fucking warning Ken."

Is this really what bankai entails? Seemingly going insane when you don't get what you want?You have to remember Aoshi, bankai like any increase in power is different for everyone. Ken couldn't control the power of his bankai and as such was consumed by it. Our power is different, I doubt we would have to worry about something like this. Making his way over to the rest of the group, he surveyed the damage to the room before speaking, "Damn Brad, how long have you been hiding that kind of power? If things are going to be like this from now on then I think I'm going to have to join Brandon in training."
"Well... To tell the truth, I just got it during that battle, this was the first time I used Bankai." Brad chuckled.axle 19 said:
"And if your willing, I would recomend doing the training with Brandon, Ill help if you want, But if you would reather do it on your own, I understand." He smiled.
Tatsuo grit his teeth. "Useless. I was fucking useless during that fight. All I could do was stand awestruck at the forces being wielded around me. I hate that feeling." Tatsuo walked up to Urahara. "Please, I beg you, give me one of those. I need to become stronger." He was ready to swallow his pride and get on his knees. Some of the old fire that had been stolen away from Tatsuo's soul when Aizen betrayed the Soul Society had been rekindled.
Aoshi scratched the back of his head before answering his commander, "I'll take any advice you can give me and then I'll work my way up from there. My zanpakuto are in agreement in that sense. Are we going to train before journeying into Hueco Mundo though?" We almost have to though if we are going to be traversing the homeland of the hollows.
"You bring up a good point Aoshi... We should train a bit, but If we train in Bankai, I do not want anyone to release theres untel we need to, sound good?" Brad askedaxle 19 said:
'If we need to, I will keep Ken bound for the next three days...' He thought.
Urahara scatched the back of his head.
"So many people requesting help..." He thought.
Ken sighed in defeat. He knew he'd been wrong to go berserk like that, but Kage had attacked with everything he had. His life was threatened, so he retaliated. Looking down at the sword hilt embedded in his chest, Ken spoke.
"Brad Hiburi, I admit it, I was wrong to go berserk and threaten everyone here. But that excuse does not cover what Kage did. He tried to take my life, so i defended myself. The Laws of Equivalent Exchange would dictate that i was in my rights to strike back. For now, I will yield." Ken reached out with his long neck and grabbed the sword hilt with his teeth. In one swift motion, Ken pulled the dagger from his chest and held it in his mouth.
With the sword removed, Ken's dragonic appearance began to fade. Ken cried and groaned as his skeleton shrunk back to normal size, dropping Ryukiba to the ground. His wings reversed themselves and grew back into his shoulder blades. His skin reverted back to his human color and hung limply in the air, naked. Ken lifted his ragged head and spoke once more.
"Now Brad, I give you an ultimatum. Either release me from these binds, or stare at my junk for three days. Your choice."

Brad sighed.
"Ken, we both know that if my bankai's new blade couldent break your skin for now, there was no way Kage's Shikai could, you fought back with too much force, You have to tell your spirit to let you have control, you seem to have more sense then it."
'if thats possible' Izanagi joked to Brad.
"That Aside, Im keeping my Eye on you, but get some damn cloths on first." Brad said, Tessai getting the hint and releasing him.
"And Kage is the 2nd in commande from now on, so please, treat him with the same respect you do as me." He said to the group.
"Now Kage, I expect that you dont go on a outburst again, at least, not on us."
"Ken, we both know that if my bankai's new blade couldent break your skin for now, there was no way Kage's Shikai could, you fought back with too much force, You have to tell your spirit to let you have control, you seem to have more sense then it."

"Now Kage, I expect that you dont go on a outburst again, at least, not on us."
Ken suddenly felt the pressure on his body dissipate and gracefully descended to the ground. he landed gently on his feet and knelt down to pick up Ryukiba. He felt his partner's presence enter his mind as he touched the battered hilt. While he was looking down, he noticed that he had a new slot-like scar on his chest. It must have formed after Ken reverted forms. He walked over and approached Urahara.
"Hey, I have two questions. One, do you have a spare set of robes? Two, How exactly do those dolls work?" Ken asked. Fully aware that he was probably making the children uncomfortable.
"Hey, I have two questions. One, do you have a spare set of robes? Two, How exactly do those dolls work?" Ken asked. Fully aware that he was probably making the children uncomfortable.
Picking himself up off the ground gingerly, still feeling a throbbing ache from whatever Brad had given him, he managed to rise to his feet. Brushing himself off as best he could, his black robes were almost tan from the tumble he took, but he still managed to get most of it off. Several feet away from him though, his shikai was laying in the dirt. He wanted that back.
"Gleaming Silver Fang, REACH FOR ME!" Kage yelled out as he reached for his blade. The knife sized tanto stirred on the ground, though it was the cord that squirmed the most, flipping back and forth on the ground before rippling across the ground. It cracked like a whip and shot out towards Kages hand, extending and passing it by before wrapping several times around his forearm like a coiling snake. Once there, the cord began to shrink again, pulling the blade with it. The tanto lifted off the ground from the speed of its withdrawl and Kage caught it in midair.
"There you are. Don't worry, I'm not letting go of you again. First that hollow took you away, and then Ken. Never again, I promise." Kage said, looking at the dirty blade. The venom that creeped along the edge had attracted dirt to the blade. Careful not to scar or scratch the metal, he wiped it off on his leg until the blade shimmered in the artificial sunlight again.
"Good, I'll hold you to that, little boy. I don't like being in the dirt, I expect you to take better care of me than that. he heard Gleam say to him. This was another one of those times where he couldn't decide if she was poking fun at him or threatening his life. Either way, he didn't even so much as smirk at that comment just in case it was the latter.
"Right..." was all he said as he sheathed his shikai. The blade grew down into the hilt as the cord uncoiled from around his arm, retracting back into the hilt of his sword. Once that was done, he went over to join the rest.
"Now Kage, I expect that you dont go on a outburst again, at least, not on us." he heard Brad saying from over by Ken. Clearly he was laying down the law with the out of control squad 11 reaper who seemed to have reverted from his bankai state in all his inglory. Kage didn't give him the pleasure of even a second glance when he answered Brad.
"I won't. At least not until the next time I have to. No promises." Kage told him, making a point then and there. He didn't want to have to take anyone else out, but this shinigami was as much a threat to them as he was to the hollows, not to mention whatever else awaited them in Hueco Mundo. And if this was going to happen again as soon as they found that girl...
Everywhere else around them, the rest of the reapers were playing with dolls. Walking over to Urahara, he wanted to know why.
"So...why is everyone around here playing with dolls all of a sudden?" Kage asked, trying his hardest to be sincere without coming off as smug. Kisuke snickered behind his fan and reached behind his back, pulling out another doll and tossing it to Kage. He caught it in both hands and held it up by its arms.
"Right, I see it, but you didn't answer my question. What is this thing? What does it do?" Kage asked again. Urahara snapped his wrist and closed his fan, pointing it at Kage.
"Well I'm glad you asked! What you have there in your hands in a fancy little doll that I'll let you use free of charge this time only. Using these dolls you too can achieve bankai just like Brad and Ken is three days, that's right, just THREE DAYS!" Urahara told him in his best impression of a high pressure salesman, "Simply bind it to your zanpakuto and add reishi and presto, your sword spirit will come to life right before your very eyes. Yes, right before your very eyes, bypassing a great deal of what would normally be many years of painstaking and worthwhile training to achieve a power that will probably kill you the first time you use it."
Kage stood there and looked at him with a vacant stare. Dumbfounded at the way he presented the way the doll worked, he felt more than a little embarassed just to be in the same dimensional plane as him. Looking from him down at the doll though, he started to wrap his mind around it.
"So, I bind this thing to Gleam, and the doll acts as a conduit to manifest her...here. In physical form. Able to fully interact, speak, touch, anything...with us..." Kage said slowly as the gravity of such an action sunk in. Inside though, he could feel her tingling with excitement.
"Oh yes! Yes, Kage, my boy, let me come out in play. I so would like to show that dragon shinigami a thing or too, and if we find that human girl I'm sure her and I could have a lot of fun..., she said practically giddy with anticipation.
"Yeah, I don't think so." Kage told her as he tossed the doll back to Urahara, "Thanks, but no thanks. In my case, I think I'll just do it the old fashioned way. It seems...safer..." he said, looking off to the side. Urahara stuffed the doll back in his pocket and snapped his wrist, the fan flashing open as he held it in front of his mouth once more.
"Oh well, suit yourself." he said, watching Kage.
"Right, I'll do just that." he replied before walking away from him, finding a rock and taking a seat. Three days, he said, That means three days we'll be here while everyone else reaches bankai, and then we head to Hueco Mundo. If I don't come up with something in those three days...I'm going to become the liability in this group...
