The Universal Villain

Chapter 31 - Gone In A Flash

Staring at the opening in the wall that was created, Rukia could make out a figure as they landed on the floor of the cell. As her eyes adjusted from the light, the sound footsteps could be heard getting closer. "This better be worth all the trouble." Standing on top of the rubble, Shen looked at Rukia, who had backed up to the other side of the cell.

"Who... Who are you why are you here." Without him wearing the mask and no muffling on his voice, Shen did sound and look different. Shen had smooth white hair which was longer in the back than the front. Without the Sharingan activated as well, Shen's eyes were no longer crimson but instead a deep black along with a special shine.

When Shen first arrived in the world of bleach he actually was surprised that his appearance had changed the way it did. If anything, he expected to have black hair and eyes like a normal Saiyan, but he was greeted with this appearance instead. It took him a bit to recognize this face like his own, but now it didn't faze him.

"Oh, you don't recognize me?" Smirking at Rukia, the sound of footsteps grew louder when seven guards assigned to Rukia's cell to prevent escape burst into the room. "Don't move! Identify yourself!" Looking over at the guards, Shen didn't react. 'So they did change things due to my presence. They even buffed security around her.'

"Hmph. Sorry but I don't have time to play with you." Looking at the Seven guards, Shen activated his Sharingan. Watching Shen's eyes change before them, the Seven guards unconsciously took a step back as their weapons began to shake in their hands along with their bodies.

Along with the ability of the three, Tomoe Sharingan also came with the ability to use mind control by using the evil found within one's heart. Although at its current level he couldn't control anyone important. 'It's more than enough for fodder.' "Fight among yourselves until you die."

As Shen's Sharingan begun to spin, it imprinted itself on the eyes of four of the guards opposite to himself. Those four were the ones with enough evil in their hearts to be controlled while the other three were more virtuous. As Rukia watched this scene before her, she heard a shout from one of the guards.

"What are you doing!" One of the guards who were not under Shen's control yelled as he blocked an attack from the guard next to him whose eyes had become the spitting image of Shen's Sharingan. One after one, the guards began to fight among each other and were too occupied to stop Shen, who walked over to Rukia disabling his Sharingan, allowing his eyes to turn back to normal.

"What did you do to them..." Rukia said looking at the guards, kill one another and then back at Shen. "Nothing. Let's just say I showed you their inner demons." With that, Shen grabbed Rukia by the arm and smiled. "Now then it's time to go." Shen began to pull Rukia as she began to struggle.

"Stop! I have accepted my fate, just let me die!" However, struggling against Shen's strength even with him injured was useless, especially with her Shinigami powers still returning. Walking closer to the hole in the wall, Shen held out his hand as he beckoned the orb containing Renji's Zanpakuto. 'It is a shame I couldn't get my hands on a captain's Zanpakuto as well, but beggars can't be choosers.'

In the state he was in, Shen didn't dare stick around in Soul Society any longer and try to recover. 'Zabimaru?' Seeing Renji's Zanpakuto floating in an orb of Ki, Rukia's face dropped as she continued to stare at it. "You don't have a choice in the matter"

Saying that Shen along with Rukia and Renji's Zanpakuto disappeared from the cell from the Seirtei from the Soul Society entirely, leaving only seven dead guards left in the cell. At this moment in a dark void, Byakuya, Shunsui, Kenpachi and Soi Fon were all there.

Other than using his Kageoni to attack his opponents, it can also be used to create a pocket dimension to hide himself and others. Just before Shen launched his attack, Shunsui activated Kageoni, bringing himself and the others here, although they didn't get away scot-free.

Shen's attack hit Kenpachi's shoulder before he was able to be fully taken into the shadow dimension along with the shockwave knocking Shunsui up, Byakuya was the only one who was unharmed during the fight.

"Oh man, I didn't expect he would use something like that. If I hadn't pulled us in here we might all be dead." Shunsui laughed slightly looking at Byakuya. "We need to get Soi Fon to the medical barracks quickly, or she might die of her injuries." Looking at Soi Fon who was breathing faintly on the floor, Shunsui looked at Kenpachi who stood completely still.

The feeling he got from Shen was similar to the feeling he felt when he fought Unohana for the first time. He felt fear for the first time and it was the fight he enjoyed the most, but what he felt from Shen was different. It wasn't the type of fear you could move past and overcome. What he felt was something a lot more overpowering.

Seeing Kenpachi was out of it, Shunsui took a deep breath and looked into the void. 'Where did someone like that come from and what could they possibly be after.' Meanwhile, the news of Rukia's escape began to spread quickly.

"Captain Aizen, I have something to report." A messenger stood in front of Aizen who was walking around towards the center of the Seirtei. "What is it?" Looking at the man in front of him, Aizen wondered what could be so important to have a messenger sent directly to all the available captains.

"The soon to be executed Rukia Kuichki has disappeared from her cell after an explosion was reported from the tower." The words Rukia Kuichki had disappeared made Aizen freeze up. "The person responsible is thought to be the same person who attacked the Seirtei as they could not be detected entering or leaving the area."

With this Aizen had heard enough as a cold gleam that covered his glasses. Sending the messenger away, Aizen stood there silently for a minute before turning around and walking away. In a cave within the Human World, both Shen and Rukia suddenly appeared out of thin air.

Feeling the change in her surroundings, Rukia looked around only to find herself in a completely different place than before. "This... This is the Human World. But how... How did we get here so quickly." In one instance she was in her cell struggling to escape Shen's grip and the next she was in this cave.

Letting go of Rukia's arm Shen walked to a rock and sat down leaning against it. 'Finally. I didn't expect that the trip to the Soul Society would be so hectic.' Chuckling to himself, Shen was reminded of his injuries, also alerting Rukia, who had not noticed Shen's wounds.

Seeing him leaning against the rock with his eyes closed, Rukia took this as a chance and began to secretly creep away. "And where do you think you're going?" Hearing Shen, Rukia didn't bother turning around and broke out into a dash in a random direction.

Watching her Shen raised his arm, causing the orb containing Renji's Zanpakuto to open, allowing for it to fall out onto the ground. Afterward, he moved his hand towards Rukia, sending the orb of Ki flying towards here surrounding her in an instance. "Don't make me waste energy right now. Just sit there quietly."

Lowering his hand, Shen closed his eyes again as Rukia banged on the orb of Ki that now surrounded her.
