Standard training grounds.... a few trees in a field roughly the size of a football field.

Bob sat in the center of the field with his legs criss crossed applesauce style with his zanpakuto resting on his lap. Bob's hands grasped either knee as his steady breathing was the only sound in the quiet field. His eyes shut, deciding to calm himself so that he would be ready for whatever his captain had in store.

((Same deal as Svetlana))

Bull didn't even announce his presence. Even before his image appeared, a white bolt of lightning pierced through Bob's chest, just below the sternum, but above the Solar Plexus. Appearing in his normal Shinigami attire, Bullene smiled at what would be the now fading Bob.

As the attack connected Bob's eyes shot open as every muscle in his body contracted simultaneously writhing in pain. His eyes then began to fall shut as his muscles loosened and his body went limp. Time seemed to slow as he fell his vision blurring as he stared up at the captain only for a moment before the darkness engulfed him completely. "What....Did he do? Why is it so dark?" He thought as the darkness seemed to hug him and wrap him in a cold blanket as his breathing slowed almost coming to a halt as the dormant process began.

After what seemed to be hours of just laying in the darkness Bob's mind stirred, "What is this?" He thought, the darkness was everlasting he couldn't tell whether his eyes were open all his sense seemed to be dulled. He couldn't see anything, he tried to yell out but couldn't hear a sound or echo. His hands moved around to touch or feel for something but there was nothing around him, he laid in some place devoid of everything. "What did he do? Did I die for real this time?" The longer he spent in this darkness the harder it was to keep thoughts in his head, he soon couldn't remember what he was thinking....what was happening? His grip on humanity was slipping. Insanity was sinking in as Bob couldn't keep a thought in his head or feel, touch, hear, see, or smell anything.

After what Bob thought was another few days he tried to move or get something. The darkness just seemed to wrap and envelop him more every time he tried to escape it. It was like trying to escape a Chinese finger hold. The more he pulled and yanked away from the darkness trying to escape it and cling to sanity, the tighter the darkness's grip became making it so that there was no way out. So there he lay trapped in it. "How will I get out?... I'm so tired... Maybe I'll just let it in, only for a bit" He thought as he slipped into the darkness giving up his fight against it.

A cool breeze brushed across Bob's face causing him to rub his eyes as they shot open realizing he just felt something. His vision blurred at first as the light had caught him off guard, he drowsily stood up and gaze outward as his eyes narrowed looking upon a barren wasteland. Bodies of dead warriors were decorated upon the empty desert with the sand painted crimson, "What is this place?" He said as he began to walk still looking around wondering were the hell he was. Bob smiled as he saw a speck in the distance that was slowly getting closer. Life, something alive that Bob could ask directions from so he could hopefully get back to the training ground and reach his shikai. Bob yawned as he closed his eyes, trying to wake up so that he could meet his guest and be alert and focussed. When he opened them he stared upon what appeared to be Death that stood around 7'2. The creature loomed over him as Bob cleared his throat.
"Who are you?" He said looking upon his zanpakuto spirit.

"I'm your will" The spirit bellowed, "Your here to achieve shikai. I was wondering when you were going to visit me, you should have come earlier" The spirit said as he looked down at Bob, "Though I'm not going to just give you my name" The spirit said as he reached his hand outward."If you search throughout this entire wasteland you will see millions of zanpakuto's, One is the actual me. You must locate which one is me and when you do I will tell you my name" The spirit said as it's fiery eyes seemed to grow bigger for a moment. He wanted to see what Bob would do when faces with a task that would appear unattainable.

Bob thought as he sat down criss crossing his legs in the usual position he did sitting like a child, "So basically I'm looking for my zanpakuto... right?" he mutter as he glanced up at his spirit.

The spirit nodded, "Yes that is correct. You must find your zanpakuto among the forrest of blades in this barren wasteland.... Have fun" The spirit said laughing. He would love to see Bob run around picking up all the weapons he could only to discover they weren't the right one.

Bob nodded, "Well I think I'll sit here a look around. If I'm looking for my zapakuto then it shouldn't be to hard for me spot it. It does kind of stick out" He said aloud as he looked throughout the wasteland, "You sure do have a malicious look about you, did you kill all of these men? If so it looks like you've killed every army that's ever existed" He said as he could see bodies from Ghengis khan's army to Nazi soldiers strewn throughout this place his spirit called home.

"I get very excited when a battle begins" The spirit said as it loomed down across from Bob, "I was a little upset that you didn't finish off that brat on earth, the little kid with the mask. You probably felt a bit more anger than usual when you didn't get to finish him off, it's because I was trying to influence you to continue to fight and eradicate that annoyance" The spirit said coldy as it's fiery eyes stared intently at Bob. It wanted to be one with him and in order to do that it had to be able to express it's opinion, it was pleased because after it's master achieved shikai it would be able to voice it's opinion whenever he felt it necessary.

Bob let out a deep sigh as his mind continued to race, trying to come up with the best strategy to complete this task. "Well running out there and grabbing each and every one wouldn't do me any good, especially since your a sly and conniving thing" He said as he glanced at his spirit. He could already tell that the answer to this riddle wasn't something way out in the corner of the wasteland "This is quite perplexing, I'll admit playing a game of chess with you would be very interesting" He said as he looked at his spirit. "Your mind is as strong as....whatever you use to kill" He Muttered once more glancing at the ancient thing that loomed a few feet in front of him. It bit's of his cloak were stained red and he looked older than time but still.... something about him gave Bob the feeling that this creature still had power.

"Why thank you, most strong warriors pride them selves in tactics as much as they do in brute force" His spirit said as it tilted it's head, "The reason I have instilled this test is so that I can see how you mind works" The spirit said it's fiery eyes burning at Bob's. They peered at him trying to determine what his mind was doing. "I'm wondering how you will solve this puzzle it shall determine how I can help you" The spirit said with a sly smile as it awaited Bob's response.

Bob smiled, "I think I have it figured out" He said with a smile, "I know which zanpakuto to pick" Bob said with an even bigger smile his excitement now growing as he was hoping he had come to the correct conclusion as he looked at his zanpakuto. "Your quite the underhanded person, are you ready for my answer?" He uttered looking at his spirit waiting for it's answer

"I am" The spirit said as it's hand now sank back beneath it's robe, the spirit looked down at Bob waiting to see which he would choose. "I wonder how he figured out which one was the actual me without going out and searching for them" The spirit thought as it looked at his wielder interested to see how he would end their little game of hide and seek.

Bob smiled as he stood, He put his hand on his spirit's shoulder, "I'm holding my zanpakuto" Bob said with an ear to ear grin, he looked at his spirit. "You said at the beginning that you are my will... You also said you were trying to influence me, I realized that people called out their zanpakuto's name when gaining shikai and that their zanpakuto's influence them sometimes...So I'm guessing your my zanpakuto, it's ironic that your actually very malicious and demonic when the appearance of you is so graceful" Bob said as he was referring to the fact that the sword looked very refined and elegant but his spirit was very ruthless and savage like. Bob now stood up looking up at his spirit waiting for it's response

The spirit looked at him surprised, "That was not the answer I was expecting, Though I suppose you are correct" The spirit said thinking about it, "Your a bit odd aren't you? Luckily for you I like odd, it seems I will enjoy being your weapon" The spirit said as he it looked at Bob, "My name is Nacon, simply call out my name when you desire my help" Nacon said with a smile as he flicked Bob on the head, "Now return back to your realm" He said as his voice echoed vibrating the ground.

Bob smirked as he heard the name, "That's a nice name" He said as he felt the darkness cocoon around him once more. "Oh great" He said disheartened as he once more became encased in the darkness. He sighed as he felt a pain in his chest. He took in a deep breathe breathing slowly as the pain slowly faded.

He shook his head as his eyes opened once again light shined through causing his vision to be blurry at first, Bob slowly sat up rubbing the back of his neck as he staring at his captains feet, "Good day captain....It would appear I was sleeping on the job wasn't I?" He said just before a sigh as he stood up slowly making sure he had his bearings before he attempted to walk. His left hand came to rest upon his chest as his eyes widened. There was a hole in his clothing but the wound was no longer there, "You know I only have a few of these outfit's left and they aren't very easy to come by" He said frowning, displeased about the gaping whole in his vest and shirt.
