Daven moved, standing and looking around himself. He saw the wasteland he was finding himself in, knowing this wasn't Earth. He wondered where exactly he was at. It definitely wasn't where he intended to be, and it was someplace he might be able to train at. It looked like this certainly couldn't be more destroyed.

The pain in his arm was nearly unbearable. He looked at the scar again, and he could see that it was glowing. Which was odd. He shoved the pain away and decided that he wouldn't pay attention to the pain, he would simply focus on what he was supposed to be here for.

You are in a very dangerous place Daven-dono. This is probably the worst place you can be at. the Warrior said in his mind.

Daven could feel the Warrior within him. He was remaining true to his promise to keep the Berserker at bay, to protect Kidorui Genso from the Berserker. And Daven could see that the seal in his mind, the one keep the Berserker contained was glowing as well.

He felt the Warrior all around, merging with him again. His eyes narrowed and his visage changed beneath his mask. Instead of the calm and kind person he was, he became remote and cold. He could also feel his reiatsu increase again, moving into three or four times the level it was normaly at in bankai. Which was dangerous since it was already ten or twenty times more powerful than when he wasn't in bankai, and he hadn't even drawn Kidorui Genso.

This meant that he was pulling on the power of Kidorui Genso without having even touched it. Which took this new ability to a whole 'nother level of power.

He looked down at his left fist. There was a glow there, very faint but definitely present. He pulled his mask off and put it in his pouch where his clay slap balls were kept at so he could get a better look. But he noticed that when he concentrated, his eyes focused in on his hand to the point where he could see the individual skin cells, right through his pelt.

He blinked his eyes a few times to clear his vision and shook his head. He looked around and found that he could see an incredible distance.

And then a scent came to him on the wind. One that he hadn't smelled in several centuries. His mind identified it even though he couldn't identify it back when he was in the Captain's office in 4th Squad. Kazi. I had wondered when I would meet him again. It figured.

He tried to ignore the scent, but if he smelled him, Kazi probably knew he was here too. Which meant that he would have to get ready to see him.

Daven suppressed his reiatsu as much as he could, but the darkness that was around him was hard to disguise. And the burning of his scar was now a comfort, instead of being painful.

Daven turned.

"Kazi. It's converted." He pulled down the glove to show the new scar in the place where Kazi's knife punched through his arm so many centuries ago.

The glow was unmistakable.

Daven felt his heart start to race. The glow increased around his body and tails.

"Invasion? No. I was going to Earth through the Moto family gate and I found myself here. I WAS going to train.

"Put that pigsticker away before I make you eat it again."

Daven's grin split his face.

"Kazi, it's been FAR too long. Where have you been? What have you been doing? We must catch up!"

Daven looked around while his friend was laughing. "Hmmmm, belief based? Okay then...."

Daven used his experience in magick to clearly visualize a nice small home, verandas and sleeping areas, very much like his villa back in the Kitsune Court. In a few moments it was standing before him, shielded from the howling winds and torrents of sunlight of the rest of this area.

"Please, may I invite you to my home?" he asked ironically with a bow.

A tall wooden door materialized behind Kazi. The door opened slowly to reveal Yomiko with a very apathetic look on her face. Just returning from the Soul Society, she was planning on taking a break from the set of rounds her grandfather gave her. She groaned in frustration before she actually took notice to the unknown reiatsu round her. She looked around to see the head Captain. She paused for a moment before looking at Kazi. What did he just do?

"Kazi! What did you do to make the head Captain come here?" She asked quickly.

Daven bowed politely to Kazi's fiancée. "As your soon to be husband said, my Gate malfunctioned. I found myself here. I was planning on going to Earth to train with a new power I seem to have acquired from someplace, but now I'm not so sure if it wasn't serendipity that brought me here."

Daven allowed himself to be led through the bare minimum of formalities. Kazi was never one to drag out formal proceedings when he had something on his mind, and Daven's appearance here was one big question mark.

Once the bare minimums were out of the way, Daven plunged right into the heart of the matter.

After speaking for about a half an hour about the whole situation he found himself in, the Z symbol, the slaughter of the Hollows, the execution of the Shinigami a while back, the near take over from the Berzerker and the alliance with the Warrior, the symbol and all the resulting changes he had noticed, he explained his training desires.

"Somehow I have found myself with these powers. My senses are enhansed which would make sense if I was in my Fox form, but since I'm not it is odd. I can feel further, and I can see better, hear more and so on. For instance, even with all this chaotic reiatsu around, I can tell that Fiey is here, another kid's reiatsu I can't identify and ...."

Daven stopped as he recognized Iu's reiatsu. "So, this is what happened to him." His attention turned to Yomiko. "And you were there too."

He spun away from the table and his sword sang as it left the sheath. Behind Kazi Daven shunpoed and the sword's edge was at Kazi's throat in an instant.

"You have one chance to explain why you kidnapped the Captain of 4th Squad. You two were there, I can smell your scent now that it's not being overwhelmed by the spirit particles of the Soul Society. What did you do?"

Daven thought for a bit. He considered the possibilities and eventually made a decision.

"Fine." He put his sword away and moved back to where he was at before.

He sighed heavily and rubbed his head. "It's been a stressful few years here lately. I'm seeing enemies where there aren't any. Sorry about that."

Daven thought for a bit. "Quincy I can see as part of the Society. I can understand integrating the Bount because of what the Society did to them so long ago. But not Hollows, not Arancar. They are enemies and they kill and kill and kill. They need to be destroyed utterly.

"I hate Vizard with almost everything I have, they are cheats and they shortcut everything that you should work on. Training and discipline are the hallmarks of a Warrior, and instead, they circumvent things by taking the easy path of Hollowfication. And these cheaters think they are on the same level as with a Captain and deserve the same respect? No even.

"It's like a professional gambler stacking the deck to win at a competition. You can't gauge skill or ability when you do that."
