Chapter 20; Squad Zero

Aizen P.O.V.

After all the great battles settled, all other remaining Shinigami surrendered, ending the war completely. We gained more support than we anticipated, almost 60 percent of the total of Shinigami shared our view and joined us in battle as soon as we appeared. The losses were not great, we had to majority so most opponents were overpowered and captured.

"Ulquiorra, I want to you gather the reports on the battles and report them to me later."

"Yes, Aizen-sama."

"What happens now?" Ichigo asked me.

"I will give a meeting in a bit, but there is something I must do first. We have a visitor."

"A visitor? Who?"

"You'll see. Stay here, I need to do this alone."

He looked uncertain but nodded anyway. I left him behind and walked to the first squad headquarters. Opening the huge doors I saw the one I felt arrive earlier.

"I must say, I'm impressed, Aizen-san. I came here as soon as the alarm went off, but you managed to end the fights before I arrived, impressive indeed."

"You must be the commander of the Royal Guards, Ichibe Hyosube. Am I correct?"

"Clever as always. You know why I am here."

"To be honest, I don't really know. I expected a hostile welcome if I'm honest with you."

"Ah, yes. Normally that would be the case when someone is trying to take over the Soul Society. But this is no normal case, is it? You're a Shinigami, so you have the right to be here."

"What are you implying?"

"We offer you a deal. We give you five years to rule over the Soul Society. We then will see if you are true to your word, of wanting to give peace to every specie. After those five years, we will decide if you are worthy of ruling. If you don't we will crush every living thing you came in contact with and rebuilt the Soul Society from scratch. If you are than this will be the last time you see or hear anything from the Royal Guards."

"I am honored to receive such an opportunity from the Royal Guards. I will not let you down."

"Stop your flattery, Aizen. Besides the offer did not came from us, but from the Soul King directly, so you better not let him down. We will be watching you."

With that he left, just like that. I am honestly surprised, I thought we would have a greater problem than that to deal with. But no matter, I will prove to them I am worthy of ruling the Soul Society and Hueco Mundo to bring them together.

So said, so done. I received the report I asked from Ulquiorra later that day, and I was pleased to see the results.

There were only a few casualties on both sides. And every opposing Shinigami who did not agree with the current affairs were locked away in prison after their wounds were healed.

I was pleased to see lieutenant Kira, Matsumoto and Hinamori joined our side, as well as the 7th seat Yamada Hanataro from the fourth squad. I would have to visit Hinamori later and apologize to her for what I had to do to her, something I was not looking forward to, she was a sweet girl and all, but her anger is something to be feared.

I regret to say that captain Kyouraku did not make the surgery and passed away. As well as head captain Yamamoto who died on the battlefield.

I was pleased to see, however, that Urahara was still alive but in coma. And the rest of the captains and lieutenants survived as well. It is better that they are still alive, I hope that they come to see what I truly intend and I hope that in the future they will also join our cause.

A few days later, the Vizards responded to my invitation and took their rightful place in the Soul Society again.

It was beautiful to see, even life in the Rukongai improved greatly after I assigned a special squad to take care of the residents. It also helped that hollow attacks stopped completely.

The five years passed quickly and I did not receive any word from the Royal Guards so I went on leading the Soul Society.

It was a peaceful time for everyone, but to every beautify song comes and end. And this song was ending.

Line break

AN; at first I did not intend to involve the zero squad, but some of you guys asked for it, so I put something on paper quick.

I am going to write a sequel for this story and it going to involve Muramasa. Imagine the zanpakto's of the espada's getting free. Those were my bigs plans I talked about earlier in previous chapters.

Anyway, tell me what you think of this story now that it has ended.

I'm so proud of myself, I finished my very first story ever. I wrote some stories before in my spare time but I never finished them.

I'm probably writing the Prologue of the sequel today, so expect it in a few hours.

Love
