A pen twirled around mischievously in his fingers as he stood in the rafters overlooking xcution’s headquarters. The pen flashed a bright green suddenly and died down as he tucked his behind his ear. This is where they were hiding currently… so much for a hiding spot, he mused as he jumped carelessly from the lofted rafters. The light glinted off of his glasses, illuminating his face in a terrifying grimace of a smile.

“You can’t hide him from me forever, Gen. It’s only a matter of time before the cards you dealt play in my favor.”

As he peeked into the building, he briefly caught Diego’s eye and vanished in a fraction of a second. He reappeared a few feet from the building in the branch of a nearby tree and opened his notebook, leafing through the photos stored inside it. Two pictures caught his eye and he held them up gently with his thumb and index finger.

“Diego Takahashi… and Kai Haineko… looks like you both are next.”

Kai looked at Kienzan, wondering what a book could actually do in a fight...hell he wanted to know what a Fullbring actually did. He concentrated on it for a few seconds before realising he actually had no weapon on him to fight back with. He searched around frantically, trying to think if he had something on him, he felt something in his pocket but quickly rushed the thought out of his mind

"What's the matter? No weapon to draw?", Kienzan teased, "That's the point of ths training, you have to find something to fight with"

Kienzan then looked down into the book he was holding

"Let me begin telling you a story, a story of a man who had lost all of his powers and his reason for fighting"

Something about this seemed very familiar to Kai, as if it was...about someone he knew...or....about himself

"Now this man was at a loss for finding that reason he once had to fight with, he no longer knew of what it was that he fought for, nor why he fought. He was just a lost soul, clutching at the empty space in front of him. Then DISASTER struck"

Kai's head lifted up at this point, why was there so much emphasis on the word "Disaster"?

"Rain cannoned down from the sky and the blue sky and beautiful sun, turned into a dirty grey sky, hail stones as big as your head began to rocket down from the sky"

Kai instantly looked up as he saw a looming shadow above him. His eyes widened as he saw a huge meteor size object above him. He dived out of the way as it collided with the ground

"WHERE DID THAT COME FROM?!"

He didn't have time to stay still, more and more fell as Kai continued to dge all over the place. His confusion was growing, where were these...things.....coming from? Was it Kienzan?

"Kienzan's gonna wipe the floor with him," Izumi mused from her semi-permanent spot behind the counter. Diego shot her an offended glare.

"You haven't seen Kai fight," he scolded, "he's more powerful than he looks. He was a captain after all."

"Was," Izumi shot back in a nonchalant fashion, which did nothing but anger Diego even more.

Kai stopped for a second to catch his breath. He looked back up and it seemed like the falling meteors had stopped. He looked at Kienzan who still had the book open in his palm. He narrowed his eyes and thought about his current situation for a moment

"How do they expect me to fight without a weapon?", he questioned, "If I weren't mistaken, they want me dead!"

Kienzan smirked as he quickly glanced at Kai

"Do you really think you have time to be standing around?"

Kai's eyes widened as he looked into the sky. Kienzan smirked as he said that

"The rain subsided rather abruptly and the blue sky came back, if only for a few seconds. The blue slwoly turned into a burning red colour as the sound of a volcano erupting echoed from the distance"

Kai looked around, was this guy for real?

"From the ground where the man sat, fire began to spew out into to sky, like a fountain"

Kai felt the area he was standing rumble for a few seconds. He looked down and saw that the ground began to crack. He quickly jumped back as fire shot out through the ground and up into the sky

"OH GIVE ME A DAMN BREAK!!!!!"

Diego's phone suddenly went off and stepped into another room to take the call. It was Jakoby, which honestly didn't surprise him since he called more frequently these days. He answered the call.

"What is it Jakoby? If it's a Hollow, ask Kairi, I'm busy with something right now."

"Hello was the correct greeting I was looking for, but anywho, " Jakoby replied, "Is Kai with you by any chance?"

Diego frowned, "Yeah... why? Is something wrong?"

He heard shuffling at the end of the line and finally Jakoby spoke, "Nothing, I was just checking. Make sure you keep him in sight alright?"

"He's not a five year old, Jakoby. I'm not his baby-sitter," Diego snapped.

"Look, I don't have time for your attitude, just do what I say and stay out of trouble," Jakoby stressed. Diego rolled his eyes and ended the call. Just what was he being so secretive about?

Fire shot out fro the ground pretty much everywhere Kai put his foot, it was like as soon as the ground felt the pressure of footstep it would burst open and fire would come roaring out. Kai looked back at Kienzan who was still reading from his book...that's right, his book. His book is doing all of this, why didn't he figure this all out sooner. He eyed the book intensely now, but had no idea of how to get near Kienzan

"If I could get to the book...."
"The fire then turned to freezing ice as the ice completely froze the entire area"

Kai's expression changed as he felt the room turn cold. Snow began to fill the area like a blizzard and he felt as if he was stuck on the spot

"The huge blizzard went on for miles, filling the entire area with snow, freezing the man to the spot as the pile of snow began to cover him. He was knee deep in the snow in about 5 seconds, that's how thick it was"
"Dammit, I gotta get out of this before I drown in the snow"
"What you gonna do now Kai? What can you do?"

"So... is your friend okay? The one that was attacked?" Shigeru asked cautiously. Diego shot him a look and turned his attention back to the floor.

"Yeah, we still don't know who's behind it."

"That's bullshit. You can't trace the attackers reiatsu?" Izumi inquired and Diego shook his head.

"We tried, but Sano was the best at detecting these types of things and he claimed he couldn't even tell who had cut him down. The signature was something I never sensed before... but oddly familiar. I can't put my finger on it..."

Kai was now waist up in the snow and couldn't move at all, except for his arms. He tried to start digging away the snow with his hands, but the cold pierced right through them and instantly took the feeling away from his hands

"You know, if you can't do anything against me, what hope do you have against the others?"

That struck something in the back of Kai's head, he was absolutely right. If he fell here, he would just be letting everyone down and he didn't want that. He struggled against the ever increasing snow level that was all around him

"If I could just..."
"Heh..."

Kai dug his hands into the snow once again, ignored the piercing cold that met him, and began to shovel the snow away

"And as the man began to shovel the snow away with his numb hands, the ocy cold wind that blew through the area froze it as it left the snow"

Kai's eyes widened as a huge block of ice formed around his hand

"Shi---"

Kienzan smirked as he saw Kai struggle. Kai was batting the frozen hand against the floor, but it was doing nothing

"Do you really want your powers back?"
"Of course I do"
"Well from the looks of things, you are a man with no purpose"

Kai's eyes widened, this couldn't be the case could it? Of course he had a purpose, it was to get his powers back...right?

"You've got to belong to something, that's how a Fullbring works"

Belong to something? How could that concept work when there was nothing around him which he could use

"Is there not something you hold dear? A particular object maybe? Like me and this book, which is my it became my Fullbring, look deep inside yourself and find that reason to fight"

"I wish I could have been of some assistance, I'm pretty good at those sorts of things," Izumi acknowledged, spinning her empty glass around on the counter-top. Diego slumped over, exhaling a weary sigh.

"Well, there's nothing we can do now, but wait for whatever's going to happen to come to light. I can assure you, they won't get away with it."

Shigeru shot Diego a look, almost indicating that he knew something. He glanced at Gen and then looked away just as fast.

Kai looked around, although he began looking more like a snowman by the second. Kienzan flicked a few pages of his book and then returned his gaze to Kai

"Are you ready for the finale? Every story must have an ending...right?"

Kai's eyes widened, he didn't like the way he just said that

"The snow dissapated as the area returned to normal. The man, sighing in relief that he didn't freeze to death looked around at his surroundings"

Kai's stare intensified as Kienzan continued the story

"But it was then, that once again, the man began feel lost and uneasy. He felt like he was unloved, hated even. Tears began to stream down his face as he looked up to the sky upon fallen knees. He screamed "I HAVE NO PURPOSE IN LIFE!!!" at the top of lungs. Silence ensued after that, no one came running to his call. He then looked into his hands which he held out in front of him, thinking of how pathetic and useless he was"

And just as Kienzan had said it, Kai was on his knees crying. It felt like it wasn't even him controlling these movements. I mean Kai, crying? That's a good one, yet here he was, bawling his eyes out on his knees. Everything was like a blur, it's like he had no idea what he was doing, then he saw a faint light that seemed to be eminating from his right side

"The man then placed his left hand into his pocket and pulled out a knife that he had kept on him for protection"

Kai's eyes widened as his left hand pulled out that said knife. He tried to stop himself, but the hand gripped on the knife tighter, it was like that was all he ever had. The light began to get thicker through his teary eyes. He began to have a flashback of what looked like the Seireitei, he could see smiling, familiar faces. The light got brighter and brighter, but yet he still gripped this knife

"Fearing he had nothin left in this word which he held dear, he held the knife up to his heart"

Kai's arm slowly rose up to his chest, exactly where his heart would be. His eyes widened, he knew what was coming next. The visions of the Seireitei began coming more clearer and clearer, it was here where he began to understand the words Kienzan said before

"Something...I belong too...."

He reaching into his right hand pocket and pulled out what seemed like a Shinigami badge and it was eminating a huge white light. His eyes widened as he gripped it and the light began to form into what looked like a blade

"And with one forceful movement the man stab----"

There was a sound of something hitting the floor. A huge white light filled the room and died down pretty quickly. Kienzan's book was now on the floor, overturned and open, Kai stood in front of him, a light sword in his hand pointing right at Kienzan's chine

"Well this was unexpected...", He said, smiling, "It seems we have found your Fullbring"
