Hana had appeared before the battle's edge and watched as the world began to slow. Just as she was beginning to feel content in her abilities she heard a voices been from with in the cold stale air. The world turned to a monotone black and white setting as it seemed to just halt before her eyes.
"Heh, well look at that Doku, it appears the brat can finally hear us. Hey, you, yeah you. How come you've been ignoring our cries!? What are ya ignorant!?"
"Oh come on now Kiba don't be rude. Maybe she's had a lot on her mind. I'm sorry for Kiba, she's a little upset that you've ignored us for so long. She thinks it's because you don't care about us but I know better."
Hana looked around but couldn't see where the voice were coming from. She looked left, right, up, even down and she couldn't see where the embodiment of the voices originated from. Once Doku and Kiba noticed that she was looking Kiba spoke up quickly to draw Hana's attention directly to her.
"Oi, over here! Behind you Ba-"
"Now now it's not nice to be rude! Remember, she's most likely just had a lot on her mind."
Hana turned around to face where she heard the voices come from. As she turned to face them she saw two figures standing before her around twenty feet from her. As they stood there, she would notice she was no longer on the field of battle. No, she was somewhere completely different! She attempted to make sense of it but to her surprise she couldn't! She saw towering well towers of this purplish goo all around the area. It seemed that everything was made of goo! What was this place!? Hana looked down to see that the grass, well if you could call it that, was made of goop as well. It seemed this whole place was the palace of goop! The stale air seemed to fade as suddenly a wave of this odd stench rolled over the area. It appeared to be the smell of goop. Not just any goop though, no it was the environment! Hana took a small step forward only to hear a squishy noise come from her step. She hesitantly stayed in place wondering if it was safe to move any further. It seemed that Doku noticed this and spoke up.
"It's ok Hana, you won't get hurt from stepping it."
Hana was taken aback by this figure's use of her name. She took a step back before just staring at the two. SHe was now able to see some of the features of them. It appeared that they stood at different heights. The woman on the left was much taller than the woman on the right. However, the woman on the right was more slender and less endowed. Hana stood there still utterly confused and dumbfounded that she didn't know what to say. Finally Kiba broke the silence and spoke outright.
"So you have NO idea what's going on do you? What an idiot. Lets start with something easy then shall we? What exactly is that thing you're holding there?"
Hana looked down to see her right hand gripping her Zanpaktou's tsuka tightly. She never remembered drawing her sword! What was going on here!? Her eyes fluttered around as she struggled to answer the question. It took several minutes but finally Hana was able to calm down and enter her state of assured calmness. Her body assumed a much more regal posture as she stood tall and held her blade to the side pointing outwards. In that moment she spoke.
"This is a Zanpaktou. It is the companion to a Shinigami. It's designed to assist a shi-"
Hana was stopped by Kiba erupting in laughter. She laughed so hard that she nearly fell over. The small pettite woman finally stopped laughing with a giant sigh before speaking out once more.
"So that's a Zanpaktou is it? And they're 'DESIGNED' to assist a Shinigami are they? You didn't learn anything in Zanjutsu school did you? A zanpaktou isn't a tool you imbecile. It's a being. And it's not just a being, it's APART of you. Geeze it's like talking to a brick wall here. DO...YOU...UNDER...STAND!?"
Hana took a moment and looked at her blade as she spoke lightly and to herself almost in a whisper that it was alive and apart of her. She was still a bit confused but it made sense. But that didn't explain what was happening!
"Alright, so what you say is true. That doesn't explain why I'm here or what this place is!"
Kiba was taken aback as she stared for a moment with her deep orange eyes. She stared so deep that Hana felt as if her soul was about to be ripped asunder.
"It has no bearing on the situation? It doesn't explain anything? Very well. Then allow me to ask you this, what's the name of your Zanpaktou?"
Hana stood there for a moment and stared at the sword as she got a confused look on her face.
"A-a name?"
Kiba was now furious as she yelled out a muffled noise. It sounded as if it was coming from underwater. Almost as if it was attempting to reach someone so very far away. Someone who had fallen so very far below the surface of the water that it felt like there was no reaching them at all.
"I see. So you're still unable to hear the name. Alright, then it just means that I'll have to BEAT IT INTO YOU!"
Kiba disappeared in the blink of an eye only to reappear on the side of Hana. In a moment's notice Hana was sent flying backwards only surviving by receiving a blunt force because she blocked the blow with her Zanpaktou. As she came to a grinding halt she watched as Kiba disappeared once more. Taking the initiative she'd bring the blade to her back in an attempt to block. The moment she was about to block the attack Kiba disappeared only to appear in front of Hana. The moment Hana realized what had happened she received a firm punch to her stomach sending her flying upwards. It was at this moment that she was able to fully see the girl attacking her and the girl standing on the ground watching. The girls were made of goop like the environment!
Hana saw that the woman attacking her was of moderate size. Perhaps five foot six like Hana herself. As she watched Kiba close the distance she could see through her slightly. She was a darkened orange color with a slight transparency to her. It was obvious she was a skilled combatant though. It was odd to see a woman made of goo glide across the area with ease. The moment Hana had that thought she received an axle slam to her back. As she fell downwards at high speeds she struggled to turn herself over. She managed to shift her weight and land on her back into the ground. Surprisingly, the ground was not as soft as one would think being as it was made of goop. Hana felt a strong punch land in her mid section. She began to feel blood trickle from the side of her mouth as she slowly got up.
"What, still haven't had enough? Why don't you just HIT ME THEN!"
Kiba had said attempting to get a violent reaction from Hana. It had worked! Hana lifted her sword with all of her might and brought a swing downwards onto Kiba's right shoulder. As the blade hit her skin, well if you could call it that, it stuck into her about an inch before it stopped completely. Hana stared at what just happened being almost mortified. In that instant Kiba spoke up and said something. The moment she did Hana's eyes grew wide watching the next set of events unfold before her.
"You shouldn't try to hit me with that. It doesn't answer to you."
Just as she said that the blade melted into goop and fell to the ground. Kiba stood there staring at Hana with almost saddened eyes. In the distance, Hana could see that Doku was also looking quite sad. She couldn't understand what was happening. It made zero sense! Hana felt a crushing blow to her stomach which sent her flying backwards a few yards while crashing into a few goop pillars. Every movement she made was being thwarted by this woman's actions. It was as if she could read Hana's mind! WHAT WAS HAPPENING! The next blow seemed even harder. It was now becoming clear to her. Hana watched as Kiba was reletentlessly attacking Hana blow after blow. She felt the sadness emanate from her attacks. The next moment she noticed that Kiba had brandished goop from her arm which formed into an odd looking sword. She could feel power eminating off of it like a demon's bane of existence. In that instant she could see, feel, and hear everything clearly. She heard Kiba say something which emanated across the whole environment. It caused the very foundation of the goo to tremble at it's very utterance.
"Zoushoku, Doku Kiba"
The moment the sentence was said the green gooey girl melted away into the ground only to reappear next to the orange girl. She placed her hand upon the orange girl's shoulder as a bright purple light engulfed both of them. The light itself sent out a wave of energy which sent Hana flying backwards with great force. Once it had subsided, she could see that both of the goop girls had strange attire on their bodies with a goopy looking sword. Kiba brought the sword around so that it was now facing behind her. She lowered her posture so that she could gain more speed. In that instant, she bolted forward. Kiba began to barrel towards Hana with increasing speed. It all made sense now. Hana adjusted her position so that she came to a grinding halt. She would then stand tall and face Kiba head on. Her posture un-moving and her feet firmly planted upon the ground.
Kiba and Doku both disappeared in an instant only to appear right in front of Hana. In that instant Hana didn't run, she didn't look back, she simply stood there and closed her eyes. Kiba looked to her side as the blade ran through Hana all the way up to the hilt. A moment passed before Hana opened her eyes and looked down. She could see the blade inside of her stomach.
"It doesn't hurt."
You still don't understand do you. We are Doku Kiba. We are apart of you. As long as you accept us, there can be no pain if we run you through."
So you heard our name. That's good! You're finally ready to wield us with all your might. So cast off your fears Hana. Don't look back. And always look ahead. And remember Hana, we'll always be here for you!"
Hana watched as the two faded away after Kiba told Hana that she'd need to take the blade out to unlock Shikai. Placing her hand upon the Tsuka of the blade she'd rip it form her stomach. And in that moment she felt a great surge of power.
In the real world where everything was raging on, Hana unsheathed her Zanpaktou and faced the now approaching energy of the Gillian. As she did, her right hand stretched outwards and pointed the blade at the ground some ways away from her. A sudden surge of power came from deep within as it coursed through the battlefield.
"ZOUSHOKU, DOKU KIBA!"
With that being said she was engulfted in purple light which slowly melted away. In her right hand she bore a rapier made of purple goo with a solid Zanpaktou hilt. Her left shoulder was covered in in tight armor which followed down to her hand with pointed finger tips. On her right she bore long metal fingernails attached to an elegant looking chainmail gauntlet. The upper part of her Shihakushou was torn asunder to reveal her tightly wrapped bandages unerneath. She kept her upper torso wrapped tightly so that it was comfortable for her. Though she wasn't endowed in any way, she did however have features. And with that, she would disappear in an instant only to reappear next to Shimada and speak lightly.
"I'm the leader of the Fourth Division's Relief squad. It means I stand here, by your side to aide you in battle and in health if need be."
Her eyes were different, almost raw with determination. Her eyes even seemed to lower slightly at her new gain in power. She was, in a way, more docile of how things operated in the world.
