A meeting foretold by the heavens! Nah, Zero ain't that important XD

Fukaku walked through the woods, enjoying himself. Looking back, he noted the place he and Koga had fought earlier. Thinking to himself, he wondered where exactly Koga was now. He supposed it didn't matter. Rallying the quincy to fight... Fukaku thought about how difficult that might be. For that matter, of whether he should try. Would it truly make a difference, in the end? he kept walking before noticing a hollow in the path.
"Foolish human! Prepare to have your soul devouOOf!" the hollow said, as Fukaku batted him away. The hollow exploded.
"that's enough of that." Fukaku said.

*Zero walks throughout the woods,leisurely out of boredom once again doing nothing special but a patrol mission throughout the surrounding blocks,he yawns borededly as he slashes through minion hollows with little effort,looking for something worth fighting nowadays.*

"Well now I feel Fukaku's spiritual pressure around here again, It seems a whole lot stronger than I last remember, he must've gained some immense power."

*Zero,shunpo's around,search about for his Quincy friend in the surrounding area.*

Fukaku felt Kanzaki's reiatsu nearby. "It seems I'm not the only one in this neck of the woods... nor am I the only one with a hollow problem." He said to himself. walking towards Kanzaki's position, he wondered what had become of the battle loving shinigami. "Well, let's see if he'll be a good ally in the war ahead."

*Zero smirks slyly as he approaches the teenage Quincy,giving him a friendly wave.*

"Hello there Fukaku,haven't seen you around here in ages. You out for a nightly patrol or something? Cause I've been trying to achieve my Bankai for a few weeks now and I still can't seem to achieve it. You mind helping me out with it?

"Helping you out? I suppose I should make sure our war resources are properly prepared... But do you really think you can achieve bankai so easily? From what I've heard, it's an ability gained by few shinigami." Fukaku replied, smirking.

*Zero cracks his shoulders and stretches out a little bit,confidently patting his Zanpaktou in it's sheath.*

"This is why I've been trying to form a tight bond with Kikuichimonji and I we've almost perfected out Shikai and I believe our Bankai is only a few days away from awakening. Besides I'm tired of being only a 4th seat. I wish to become stronger and move up in this world. I need to become a better fighter so I can bring pride to my name."

it'll be a source of pride if you just survive the coming battle ahead... Nonetheless. What, exactly, would a quincy do to help a shinigami achieve bankai?" Fukaku asked. "I hope you didn't come here thinking a quincy might knowmuch about zanpakutos, Kanzaki."

"Well you may not now everything about Zanpaktous,but I realize you are quite a strong Quincy in general,most likely on par with a Shinigami Captain to be exact. As such I'm seeking strong people to train with so I myself can eventually learn from these experiences and become Captain one day. I know I'm no match for you at all but I've developed a new strategy to hopefully significantly improve my swordsmanship."

"So you're asking me to train with you, is that it?" Fukaku asked. "A simple enough request, I suppose. Be warned, though, shinigami, I won't be soft on you." Fukaku said. "not at all."

"Well then,lets get started with a little bit of warm up now and work our way into it as the fight goes on. I guess I'll reveal my secret now too since I'm not releasing my Zanpaktou yet,and it's surprizingly effective."

*Zero,leans back unsheathing his Zanpaktou and holding it firmly in his left hand,and unsheathing a new non-zanpaktou blade,as he holds it firmly in his right,this new blade Zero is holding in his right hand is a Jitte that has a smaller blade protruding from the main blade,designed to catch an opponents attack in order to create an opening for a quick counter-attack.*

Fukaku watches him bring up his blades. "at your level, and given it's harder for me to do warm-up, I think it best that I start with no weapon." He replied. Bringing himself into a fighting position, he prepared himself for Zero's attacks. "show me just how useful that new blade of yours is, Kanzaki." Fukaku said.

*Zero smirks sly as he crouches downward,holding his Zanpaktou in his left hand firmly holding the blade sideways and the Jitte upright as he assumes a defensive stance,eyeing Fukaku as he awaits him to make a move.*

"Well you know what? How about I try with three blades instead? That'll make it far more fun."

*Zero unsheaths a decent sized dagger with a blade of roughly 10 inches in length, and opens his mouth to bite down firmly onto the handle,he then gives the signal that he is ready,and shunpos forward,in a fierce onslaught of rapid strokes.*

Fukaku smirks, as he sees Zero head towards him with his strikes. When he's about 6 feet away, fukaku thumbs a ginto capsule at him. "Spinnenentz." Fukaku said, making spiderweb like cords that rush towards zero. Fukaku, smirking, hoped Zero's momentum was enough to push him into the makeshift trap, as he moves to the right. "Always be on guard, Kanzaki." He said.

*Zero grunts angrily as he spits out the dagger being held in his mouth and yells out at his opponent.*

Well Fukaku,I'll be serious about my fighting now. Matter of fact I'm a one-blade person it's much easier.

*Zero sheaths the Jitte away and firmly grasps his hands tightly around his Zanpaktou as he concentrates his spiritual pressure ontot he tip of the blade,quietly muttering to himself.
Agitowari,Concentrating the spiritual pressure around his body,he shunpo's forward once more with a large and powerful,forward thrust of his Zanpaktou trying to break cleanly through the web with little effort on his part.*

the web's cords are struck and destroyed for the most part, though some of the spiderweb still clung to parts of the body. Meanwhile, Fukaku used his superior speed to hirenkyaku behind Zero, throwing a roundhouse kick at his back.

*Zero grunted as he tore at the web cords around his body,until they were no longer a hinderance as he anticipated Fukaku to swiftly move into his position,realizing he'd likely go into hand-to-hand combat against Zero,as Fukaku hadn't used his weapon yet, Zero quickly unsheathed his Jitte,attempting to use the small protruding blade from the side to catch his foot,and leave him open momentarily*

Fukaku smiled, seeing zero go for his foot. The problem was, Roundhouse kicks did not use the foot to strike, instead using their shin, and while he gained a minor cut on his outstretched foot, the roundhouse squarely struck towards Zero's head. "are you very familiar with hand-to-hand combat." Fukaku asked. "Or do you rely entirely on that sword you carry?"

*Zero smirks as he absorbs the impact of the blow,shaking it off fairly easily as he rears his head back slightly and attempts to headbutt agent heavily in the guy,as he left himself briefly open with his foot caught in the Jitte. All the while doing this he twists the jitte clockwise digging into his skin some more.*

"Well, I'm just warming up my friend."

*Zero quickly tried to keep his grip onto his blade as the blow to the head caused him to lose his balance as he crashed onto the floor,a little too instantly to be true,he laid down on the floor and quietly muttered to himself. "Hado 11 Tsurien Raiden!" *As he said this he reach forward and grasped onto Fukaku's leg.*

pulling his leg back, he stops for a second, feeling something unusual "beings... not hollows. Not shinigami either. what's going on?" Fukaku said, sensing the zombies. "I must go" Fukaku said, running off.
