Battle approaches

Fukaku strode into Ajiro's base of operations, noticing a few less ronin than usual guarding the place. "You wanted to see me." Fukaku asked aloud, not seeing Ajiro, but knowing he'd hear him somehow - Fukaku doubted there was anything in the hospital he couldn't hear.

I speak swiftly. "fukaku Have you made your decision on being my lt or not?" I appear not far from you working on something."

"Yes. I have decided to accept the position." Fukaku said, not offering more on the subject. "What's that you're working on there?" Fukaku asks. Shifting, he attempts to look at the item in question.

I toss it to you and you see its a black celtic cross formed from obsidiean. " how do you feel about pistols?" I grin and turn towards you.

"well, my preferred weapon is a bow, but I have nothing against pistols." Fukaku replied nonchalantly. "that seems rather reflective of quincy designs... What have you cooked up, Ajiro?" Fukaku says, grabbing the cross from the air with no trouble.

Grins "rapid fire, rapid aim, without loosing the power behind your bolts." I grin " it has three forms to choose from cross bow, your personal standard bow, and twin pistols which i admit look very cool, black energy pistols, all of them fire your standard arrows but with increased speed and also allows you to fire more." I turn around. " i figured a new item was to be rewarded to my lt...before the war." I keep my back to you. " Your first job is to lead the ronin forces with your quincy forces into war they will blend in fine and not cause any trouble. They are yours to command. My full army is at your will. And all of its equipment aswell. should you ever need any item just see me ill ensure you receive what you need."

"hmmm... Then, you yourself will not be participating, I gather? Or not openly, anyways." Fukaku added the last part with a smirk. "I can gather the ancients together, and the ronin shouldn't be a problem to blend - I have few forces to gather in the first place..." Fukaku said, his smirk falling somewhat with those last words. "As for equipment, I think that, for the moment, I should be fine with this - more than fine, as a matter of fact." Fukaku said, thinking. "Is there anything else, Ajiro?"

I grin "Ensure the victory or the shinigami when the time comes i will reveal why and it is then that you choose your path. Stay by my side..or leave" I smile gently " in teh mean time take time to prepare and do all you can to become stronger

"I shall do so, then." Fukaku says, nodding to him. "I'll make sure the ronin are prepared, and the quincy, as well. In the meantime... I will train as I can."

I nod and wave you to leave. "your free to do as you please now"
