Bab 172: Chapter 172. Coyote Stark.
Ryu moved towards Captain Shunsui.
Ryu and the others appearance startled the Soul Reapers, they relaxed seeing them not interfering in their fight against Aizen's subordinates. But they were panicking when Ryu stopped Shunsui's fight.
Ryu " Can you let him go Captain Shunsui? I have some matters to discuss with him."
Shunsui had a nonchalant smile in his face " Well.... I wonder why you would block me."
Ryu shrugged " Told you, I need to talk with him."
Shunsui went silent for a second before putting his Sword away. He shrugged and joined Jushiro.
Ryu turned around to Stark " Hey, are you interested in joining my Team? "
Stark was stunned, he obviously knew who this was but he didn't understand why the other party was asking him this.
Stark " You want me to be your Subordinate? "
Ryu laughed hearing Stark " Hahaha, of course not. There are no leaders within Titans, only friends. So, interested? "
' Friends....'
Ryu's words had an effect on Stark, he was born as a powerful Hollow. He was all alone for years till he decided to split his soul so as that he would never be alone. His Zanpakuto had a seperate consciousness, she had a personality as well as a character.
It was her presence that made him feel like he wasn't alone. That's when Aizen found him and offered him a position among his subordinates. There were people strong enough to withstand his powers, eventhough none of them ever looked at him as a friend he liked them.
Aizen was stunned when he heard Ryu's words, he had lost few strong fighters from his side due to some skirmish with these guys. Now Ryu was blatantly trying to steal his subordinate right infront of his eyes. To deal with them, he had even made few changes in his plan as well otherwise he wouldn't appear here.
Stark was confused, he didn't know what to do. That's when his Zanpakuto spoke up
" Friends? Do you really mean it!? "
Sadness flashed by Stark's face " Lilinette....
Ryu smiled " Of course! See that spiky haired man, he is also one of us. He may act like he doesn't care about us but deep inside he still see us as family."
He didn't beat around and said his purpose.
" Stark, Lilinette... frankly speaking we aren't from this world. Me and that guy come from the same world, whereas the other two come from different worlds. We travel to different worlds, fight strong opponents, see new sights, enjoy new food and drinks, meet new people.
We strive to become stronger. To stand at the peak of power but not to rule. With our strength it's easy for us to rule any world but we don't, what we search for is adventure. So I want you two to join us, when we travel to other worlds we need strong companions, people who we can entrust our lives to.
That's why I want you to join. I believe I can trust you. So, what do you say? "
Ryu's words stunned Stark and Lilinette. To think that these people came from different worlds....
Stark thought for a while, Lilinette suddenly spoke to him
" Stark.... we should go with him. Look at where we stand, that guy only sees us as disposable commodities, our comrades don't give a shit about our lives infact they might even kill us given the opportunity, we are the enemy of Soul Reapers. What have we got to lose? "
Stark took a deep breath, he looked at Ryu and nodded his head " I hope you mean what you say."
Ryu smiled brightly " Of course."
Stark released his Zanpakuto, Lilinette reappeared.
Ryu shot two orbs of light towards Stark and Lilinette. Stark got nervous.
" Don't worry, just hold out the back of your hand. It's our teams Insignia."
Stark understood, he removed his gloves, the orb of light imprinted above a mark showing the number one. This was Stark's Espada Rank.
As for Lilinette, the orb was moving towards her shoulder.
The moment the Titan Insignia fell on their body, they shuddered for a second before they felt a comfortable sensation flow through them. Chaos energy flowed through their bodies, with some peculiar fluctuations from the seal their bodies were being reconstructed.
The hole within their bodies were being covered by Chaos energy. Their hollow parts turned to ashes. The seal itself is something from Navii, along with Ryu's seals and his understanding of laws, it not only contains complex formations but also the concept of creation birthed naturally by the Chaos energy Ryu provided.
Ryu is the first Titan, only he has the ability to give Titan insignia to anyone else. The first Insignia on his body is the original, with it as a base he is duplicating the seal perfectly with no setbacks.
Few minutes later Stark and Lilinette's body seemed entirely different. Lilinette looked like a doll, her skin was smooth and glossy. Stark on the other had radiated enormous Riatsu.
Ryu explained " Soul form are weak where we are headed. Some things are naturally harmful to souls, I don't want you guys to be Injured because of such a thing."
Aizen and the other Soul Reapers who were seeing this swallowed hard, how could they not? That man just turned a hollow into a Human while retaining their strengths.
Ryu " Also, Lilinette. Did you like my gift? "
Lilinette nodded like a woodpecker, Stark understood what he meant but what he didn't get was why he did it.
Ryu seeing through his thoughts said " She is your strength, if you were defeated she would die as well. Do you want that? "
Stark's body quivered " No!... Thank you."
He bowed deeply towards Ryu.
Ryu waved his hand " Don't mind it. She is still part of you but she is completely independent now. I will later forge your Zanpakuto from a part of her soul and yours. That way you won't need her in a fight, that way she will be safe."
Ryu changed his sight to Aizen, he taunted him " You ran pretty fast last time."
Aizen was still reeling from his shock, he quickly regained his composure and said " Quite extraordinary. To completely change the nature of one's physique..... truly exceptional."
Ryu snickered " Heh... anyway, what's your choice? Will you surrender or do I have to pluck that thing from your body? "
Aizen froze for a second then replied " It seems you already know."
Ryu " My eyes aren't for decoration."
Aizen quickly made his move, Wonderweiss got behind Madara.
' I see he is going to use Wonderweiss to seal Madara. Good luck with that. A mere mindless baboon want to seal True Fire, Ha!! Foolish!!
Madara saw Wonderweiss, he extended his hand and grabbed his head. Like plucking a leaf he broke his head off, Pure Yang flames burned above his palms and turned Wonderweiss into dust.
Aizen almost fell down when he saw his trump card get taken out like that. His smile froze, he looked at Yamamoto, Madara and Ryu respectively.
Three monsters stared at him, his blood froze due to the sheer strength these three emanated.
' I need more strength! I need strength! '
A bright glow surfaced over his chest, his upper chest clothes were burned away revealing a luminous Pearl embedded on his chest. Power flowed from this pearl towards Aizen's body, his body and Zanpakuto were undergoing a change.
Ryu raised an eyebrow when he sensed that energy
' That's .....

DreAm_b0At So guys.... there has been suggestions about wanting some female characters in Titan. I did think of it before but wasn't able to come up with any notable female characters.
So if there are any awesome female characters that can be joined to Titans..... feel free to recommend them.
