Yoruichi: Ok, time to get to work.
Yoruichi: back in the scene of the crime. not sure what I’ll find here or there is anything to gather.
Yoruichi: the city seems gone quiet than usual, no civilians on their outings or passing by. it seems too quiet around here. and I don’t like it.
Yoruichi: still, the Damashigami we apprehended did leave traces of Reishi behind. it many have gone cold and it’s fading away, I’m not what it’ll lead me to.
Akira Fudo: It wouldn’t hurt to check them while the trails are warm.
Yoruichi: Akira, nice of you to join us. when did you get back from your sabbatical?
Akira Fudo: Just now, sadly I’m not… in the right condition to join you personally right now. long story in which I’ll explain later.
Yoruichi: did you run into trouble while you’re in Wrath?
Akira Fudo: Not the usual trouble, but I’ll explain later. right now let us focus on this investigation.
Yoruichi: Roger
Yoruichi: the trail leads to the city understreets, typical for rats to huddle and squat there.
Akira Fudo: I’ll be losing connection there, so I’ll be off line until you come back and respond. sorry I can’t help you further from there.
Yoruichi: don’t worry about it, I had centuries of experience from this kind of work. and besides…
Yoruichi: Looks like I won’t be lone for this anyway. Hello Soifon.
Soifon: Lady Yoruichi
Akira Fudo: what is she doing here?
Yoruichi: the same thing I assume, I’ll contact you late, Akira.
Yoruichi: So, am I right? you couldn’t get a word from those thugs too, I reckon?
Soifon: Unfortunately. They aren’t the usual type of Damashigami we dealt with in the past. So the Captain-General as sent me this time to investigate.
Yoruichi: All alone? no squad to back you? that isn’t professional.
Soifon: *scoff* you’re one to talk. you’re solo too, where’s Kurosaki?
Yoruichi: Ichigo is… unavailable and currently dismissed for some time. it’s just me and you… like old times, little wasp.
Soifon: Lady Yoruichi please, this isn’t the time for this.
Yoruichi: You’re right, we need to focus on the mission, which I suggest we work on together and share the intel considering that our objective is the same.
Soifon: Normally I wouldn’t associate with those aligned with Hell. But so I will make an exception, seeing it’s you, Lady Yoruichi.
Yoruichi: Oh come off it, you’re dying to work with me again, despite our current affiliations.
Soifon: … nothing gets pass you, Lady Yoruichi. Let’s go.
Soifon: Here they are, only a couple of them we missed, we can take them out now and…
Yoruichi: no need to be hasty, Soifon. Besides, we’ll be back to square one if we do capture them, a waste of time and effort in our mission.
Soifon: what do you suggest?
Yoruichi: did you forget what I taught you back in Squad 2? we wait and listen, let’s eavesdrop in silence, repress our reiatsu so not to spook them.
Yoruichi: stay out blades for now, just listen.
Soifon: …you’re right, I got eager in capturing them. forgive me, Lady Yoruichi.
Damashigami: How long do we have to hide like this?
Damashigami: Until the heat on us goes cold and await the all clear from the boss. he isn’t pleased with our blunder, that Phantom Train wasn’t cheap to domesticat
Damashigami: I knew recruiting those escapees was a bad idea, they were marked the moment they got out.
Damashigami: I know, but there are very little of us in the company that the Boss needed all the help he needs, recruiting more from soul society is too risky.
Damashigami: tell me about it! ever since the Wandenreich attacked, those pompous Captains in Gotei 13 are more vigilant and security has amped up than ever.
Damashigami: speaking of security, are you sure that we are safe? who knows what’s out there and catch us unguarded.
Damashigami: as long as we repress our reiatsu and a level head, we’ll be fine. besides, if we do get caught, they will not get a peep from either of us.
Damashigami: thank the Great Despair that the boss placed these Bakudo seals in our tongues to that we won’t blabber anything that would link to him.
Damashigami: shh, are you trying to get yourself killed? that’s the one thing we shouldn’t talk about.
Damashigami: oh relax, if it were the case, then why did I speak about it?
Damashigami: I don’t know, and I don’t like it. just shut up about it and say nothing that might compromise us.
Damashigami: *scoff* and you tell us to stay levelheaded,
Yoruichi: did you hear that, Soifon?
Soifon: Indeed, the Damashigami are fitted with bakudo seals in their tongues so they won’t speak out any confidential info.
Soifon: but that one seems to have a faulty seal, which means…
Yoruichi: which means we have our target and the information we need. we just need to get to that Damashigami and…
Soifon: Lady Yoruichi? what’s the matter?
Yoruichi: GET DOWN!!!
Damashigami: Shit, they found us, Run!
Yoruichi: Damn it, Heaven has to bloody intervene… wait a minute.
Soifon: what’s the matter?
Yoruichi: that angel looks… familiar… damn it, and it seems were his target and not the Damashigami.
Yoruichi: Shunko.
Yoruichi: damn it, he’s not alone and… oh no.
Soifon: That Reiatsu... those bows, they couldn’t be…
Soifon: How is this possible? they surely couldn’t be… Quincies.
Yoruichi: I don’t know how, but it seems they are back, and as Exorcist Angels apparently. This is getting out of hand.
Yoruichi: get ready for battle, Soifon. we’re now fighting for our lives here.
