Welcome to Gaia! ::

Takeru walked on to the training ground with this dual zanpaktou at his left side and his fathers broken zanpaktou strapped to his back, he wanted to waste no time after being accepted to the squad. If he was going to make a high rank some day and become stronger than his father, Takeru knew he had to train almost endlessly. He knew his fathers element was lightning, because of the stories his aunt use to tell him and the guard of his fathers zanpaktou was in the shape of a lightning bolt. "I wonder if anyone here fought along side my father, there was one that my aunt would always mention in her stories of my father, Kasen. I would really like to get some training from him. If i could become stronger than him then I know I will be stronger than my father. If not Kasen I would like to meet Zaine, from what I've been told, when Zaine was still unseated he stood at almost an equal with my father, who was a Fourth seat." Takeru found a group of squad members near by and walked over to them to see if any of them were the men he was searching for. "Hello, my name is Takeru Tenshu. I'm new to this squad. By any chance are any of u Zaine or Kasen?"

Takeru bowed to Zaine in respect and a tear rolled down his eye. He quickly wipped it away and gave a small smile. "Thank you for your kind words Zaine, I'm not looking to take my fathers place because I know I never can. I just wish to carry on his work and be the best I can be." Takeru drew his dual zanpaktou, the sword with the red hilt in his right hand and the sword with the blue hilt in his left. His eyes glowing purple much like Masurao's did when he was ready for an intense battle. "Zaine, I was told that you were one of the best unseated members of this squad. That my father was a fourth seat when he fought you as an unseated and you were still able to hold your own against him, I even heard your power was almost equal to his at that point." Takeru took his battle stance and his zanpaktou's began to glow purple. "Please train me, I want to get stronger. I need to get stronger, who better to train me then one of my fathers old comrades and friends?"

Takeru nodded as he watched Zaine walk away, the glow in both his eyes and zanapktou faded away. He was pretty disappointed but there was nothing he could do about it. Takeru stabbed both of his zanpaktou into the ground with about a foot of space between them. Then he stabbed his fathers zanpaktou into the middle of them and sat down in front of them and closed his eyes. Father, i found Zaine. I could feel his power just by standing in front of him, I'm sure if he would have accepted I wouldn't have stood a chance. Father, please guild me. Show me what I must do to become as strong as you were, watch over me. I need your power. Takeru then opened his eyes and picked up his fathers zanpaktou, he had always wanted to fix it and somehow awake its power again but he just doesn't know how. He sheathed it in the sheath on his back, then he sheathed his dual zanpaktou back to his left side and stood up. "Well until Zaine or Kasen has time to fight and train me I'll just have to do what I can on my own." He stood there think for a moment what he should do first. "I got it." Takeru quickly ran off the training grounds and came back a few minutes later with the training weights his father used when he first started his training with Captain Evil. He strapped on the 150 pound vest, the 50 pound wrist bands, 50 pound boots, and 50 pound leg weights. "Well time to get started, 1,000 push ups to start." Takeru got in a push up position and started doing them with only one thing in mind, being the best that he can be and making his father proud.

To complete this, it took Takeru almost two hours. By this time Takeru was so drenched in sweat it looked like he had just got out of a swimming pool. He dropped from the pull up bar and, instead of dropping to the ground and passing out like he wanted to, Takeru started running laps around the training grounds. "Ok..... just need.... to do.....200..... laps..... and then I'm done...... warming up...." He said as he ran, breathing hard and exhausted. Every cell in his body begged for a break, but his will and determination didn't let him stop. So he kept running, no matter what.

It took Takeru Five hours to complete this task, he was so exhausted he dropped his dual zanpaktou. But his fathers zanpaktou remained in his mouth, so he grabbed the hilt and took it out of his mouth. He took off the weights and sheathed in on his back. Then he took the weights off of his dual zanpaktou and sheathed them back to his left side. By this time, Takeru's mouth and jaw were covered in blood. All he could taste was blood and sweat, he spit the blood out of his mouth and wiped all the blood off. "Damn, that was intense. I think I should rest for a while." Takeru dropped to the ground and his eyes were wide open, he couldn't sleep. His body was numb but he wanted to continue training, but for right now he just looked up at the sky relaxing. He thought of his father and how he died, fighting an Arrancar. After a while Takeru sat up and tried thinking of what he should do next.

Takeru looked up a this man, his reiatsu surpassed any that he had felt so far. He kept his cool and tried not to let his power overwhelm him, he just spit some more blood into the grass and stood up. He looked at him with a soft smile and said in a lazy, kind of tired, tone. "Takeru Tenshu...." Takeru slightly bowed and was wondering if this was Kasen or some else that had fought along side his father. "And who are you?" Even if this wasn't Kasen, his reiatsu was incredible and Takeru figured that this man would be a great teacher. Then he thought of something, "Before you answer, do you recognize this zanpaktou?" He unsheathed the zanpaktou on his back and stabbed it into the ground. It had a blue and black hilt and a guard in the shape of a lightning bolt, but the blade of the sword had been broken in half.

Takeru smiled and sheathed the zanpaktou on his back. He had a feeling that this was Kasen, and he was correct. "Yes I am related to him, this zanpaktou belonged to my father. Masurao Tenshu." Takeru drew his dual zanpaktou from his left side. The sword with the red hilt in his right hand and the sword with the blue hilt in his left, his eyes began to glow purple with passion. "Kasen, please train me. I want to be like my father, stronger if i can. I know I can get there with your help." Takeru awaited his answer, he wants to start as soon as possible. He was still very tired from his training earlier but he didn't care, he just wanted to train and get stronger.
