Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Undoubtedly there are at least a feq Quincy left, even after all this time. And what were those other ones called? The ones with dolls, Bounta or Bounto?" Tilting his head back in thought as usual, Dreza still seemed distracted by the fight. "The one fighting the captain, I recognize his shikai. It is Mokudo, and if the short burst before the release is what I think it is, his mask amplifies his sealed power four fold."

"Unless he has completely snapped, Mokudo will still take orders from me. Wether or not that last shred of sanity still exists I do not know. But a power beyond his zanpakuto that increases his power from sealed to equal his own shikai." Looking directly at his own captain now.

"Do you want me to go and prevent Nagaharu from fighting him? Mokudo's bankai is an ice type area of effect, with his strength it may overwhelm Nagaharu should that be amplified using a vizards mask." The slight grin on his face hinted he mildly liked that idea.

Urahara looked with interest at the gigai pill that Du'o produced from his pocket. He'd created his fair share of unique gigai, even holding the boast for inventing the idea itself, but he'd never seen it implamented in such a manner before. When asked about his laboratory, Urahara gave a light chuckled and rubbed the back of his head, "Uh...lab? I'm afraid I don't really have one. I've been out of the scientific community for a while. Really, I'm more of a merchant nowadays who dabbles in spirit science from time to time when needed."

"Oh no, I never said I quit. There just hasn't been much to work with nowadays. Without the Research Department in Soul Society, my resources have been drastically limited. I do what I can now and then, but there's only so much that can be done." Urahara replied, "But, if you'd like to see something interesting, you need only look at my assistants."

Ikkimaru shook his head at Dreza's question. "Nagaharu can take care of himself. Dreza, this is the second time you have doubted your lieutenant recently. How many times do I have to tell you not to worry about him? He'll be back." Ikkimaru paused and looked to Du'o and nodded, "Sure, take your time. I was just about to ask Yoruichi about everything that's happened since we left."

Yoruichi shook her head, "You want me to sum up 600 years?"

"Well, not necessarily everything, just the important details." Replied the captain.

"Okay..." She said, beginning her explanation. ((This is basically everything that has happened in Bleach so far. I'm way too lazy to type out everything, so let's just say that Ikkimaru, and the rest of the 14th squad for that matter, now knows all about Ichigo and his crew and everything else that has happened.))

"Hmm... I see. Very interesting," Ikkimaru said with a grin, "That Kenpachi guy sounds like a hell of a fighter. From what you describe it seems that he'll be paying me a visit once we enter Soul Society."

"So tell me, what do you plan to do?" Yoruichi asked, "Are you going to start another war?"

"In a way, yes," Ikkimaru replied. "Listen, we need yours and Urahara's help. Yamamoto won't listen to my demands on reform no matter the case. We need your support and help in finding more people to recruit to our side. Though from what it sounds like this Ichigo kid doesn't seem like the kind of person to help us out, if you think he'd be useful for us then we should talk to him. Also, we need to use this place as a base for our opperations. This time will be different. We are going to slow play things and only attack when we can single out one or two of their stronger members. Last time they all swarmmed us and we were overwhelmed. This time will be different. I won't allow us to become out numbered in such a way. In any case, once I've defeated Yamamoto I can claim the seat of soutaichou. From there, since the Central 46 is gone, I can pass any bill for reform that I want and war will be over."

"Well, I'll help you out no matter what." Yoruichi said with a grin, "Uncle, you always had good intentions. For some reason I think that Urahara and I were the only ones who could see that. Everyone else was too blind to notice it and only wanted to appease Seireitei."

"I understand your concern, but a thousand years ago Nagaharu was the fastest shinigami in existance. It took both Kyouraku and Ukitake and the strongest Bakudou spell they could summon together to capture him. I don't give a damn what a little hollow mask can do." Ikkimaru said as he became quite irritated. It was unclear if his pride was just getting in his way or whether or not he truly doubted the ability of the vaizard.

"Anyway, if you feel that it is necessary information then please, do tell about your Bankai, otherwise it can wait if you want."

"Very well captain,” Du'o stood up, "if anyone else wishes to come with me they're more than welcome to, it may beat sitting around and watching the adults talk about the battle to come," Du'o said with a chuckle. He knew full well what was to come so missing out on the captain’s talk wouldn't be too bad. He then walked over to Tessai and the large man escorted him out of the room and into the Urahara's back storage room.

Nagaharu's voice, echoing as though magnified by a microphone, suddenly spoke out of thin air, "Sorry, everyone, looks like I'm going to be here for a while. The Vaizard's encased the area in a dome of ice. I could probably break out, but releasing my zanpakuto would call too much attention to myself. I've seen all I need to, so I'll probably just head back as soon as it breaks."
