The Puppet entered the lab carrying Naota on it's shoulder. He placed him in a corner and began to inspect him. The other one that was with him had grabbed a few things for Nonko and headed for The Repentance Tower. Now that they are back in the Soul Society the puppet activated it's personality program which made it less dull then the normal Nonko.
"hmmm..."
He looked Naota over and over. Staring at him like a child stares at a TV. Finally he got up and walked over to one of the lab tables. On it was a set of papers that had the name of the Division's new member. Surly he has been informed about this Center.
"Well member he will be an interesting person."
"Indeed"
Ket jumped on to the table and looked over to Naota, then the puppet. The Lime green cat wasn't very surprised he came back with some battle damage, but that he was knocked out cold. That was priceless.
"I sent for the new member. Play along as the real Nonko. He doesn't know about you puppets yet."
Ket wanted to test the new member, a Azerik Zaraki, and see how much intelligence he has. Surly Nonko would use a different way to do so, ut the cat was more doing this for his own entertainment. |

"Hello," Azerik called into the entrance of the large building, "I received a message telling me to come here? I'm here to meet with Captain Ryuuza."
He walked up to the door way, and poked his head inside, to see what appeared to be a lime green cat, sitting on a table next to an unconscious shinigami, while a man who appeared to be Captain Nonko Ryuuza looked him over.
"Like I said before," he stammered, "I was summoned to meet with the Captain. I'm newly appointed 4th seat, Azerik Zaraki, Sir."
Azerik looked, at the man who was apparently the 12th Division Captain, and couldn't shake the feeling that something was out of place. It must have shown on his face, for both the Captain, and the green furred cat were looking at him intently.

"I'm not helping in your plan to mess with the new guys mind. Besides. Master Nonko would most likely try to kick you through his window which doesn't even exist."
The puppet looked over to the new guy and walked over to him. He smiled and then bluntly said.
"I'm not the captain. I'm am merely a puppet, working for Nonko. You'll have to deal with him and me until the captains return from business." |

"Oh," Azerik exclaimed, his interest peaked by the puppet, "you're a battle puppet then? You smell exactly like the Captain, so I suppose you're fueled by his own reiatsu? Is your existence similar to the existence of Mod Souls? Does that Zanpaktou you have work? No I'd imagine it wouldn't function quite the same...one of my favorite subjects is the theory of creating pseudo-Zanpaktou, you know. Sumasshuyochi's been really helpful with my research, he seems to delight in answering my questions...in any case, given a few months of research, and maybe a year of testing, I'm sure I could have a working prototype..."
He rambled on about his theory behind the pseudo-Zanpaktou for several more seconds, the turned to the light green cat and said, "I assume you must be Ket then? I believe that was the name of the message sender."

"Why yes, I am. Nice to meet you."
The cat said before jumping off the table to ran and jump onto the puppets shoulder. The puppet and the cat seemed interested in this theory of his. And if they did the real Nonko would no doubt.
"I'm a Ryuuza V3 Puppet with a Prototype Personality Mod. I'm am power by Master Nonko own reiatsu which is stored within a device placed in my chest. My Fake Zanpakutou is also power by his reiatsu stored within a similar device located in the hilt. It has no release or abilities, other then adding to the power level to match the Master's as if in Shikai or Bankai."
The puppet pulled his sword out and laid it out between his hands. When compared to Nonko's. It had a big difference. It's hilt guard wasn't the same. The Fake Zanpackutou had a normal guard to that of a everyday katana. While Nonko's sword had a Dragon design to it.
"The master may enjoy your theory." |

"It must take an enormous amount of reiatsu to keep you puppets working...the fake Zanpaktou as well. As for my pseudo-Zanpaktou theory, I'm working around the idea of a Zanpaktou the replicates others. Of course the copies wouldn't be anywhere near as powerful as the originals, but just being able to copy the abilities slightly would be of great use. It would certainly help with training. One never knows whether or not his comrade may become his enemy, so having the power to see a future opponents abilities first hand, could come in handy."
Azerik was very glad that the two of them seemed interested in his theory. If the Captain liked the idea as they predicted he would, it was highly likely that more resources for development of the pseudo-Zanpaktou could be obtained.

A ringing white noise rung through his ears as Naotas eyes ajusted to the bright light in the office. He seemed to curse under his breath as he sat up from where he lay.
"Hey Ket... How long have i been out..?"
Naota said as if he had awoken with a hangover. As the lights folded into his soon, he could see he was in the office, and there was also a new face standing infront of him. Naota gave a quick sniker, as he jumped up, still he had that pain in his back from the visard attack, but he didn't really care.
"Thanks for the lift puppet man... Where is the puppetier? Still back in the living world i presume..?"
He said as he made his way to the newcommer, he heard alittle bit of the convosation they had but not all of it, the only thing Naota caught by ear that this newcommer was the new 4th Seat, Chiros replacement. Naota held out his hand for a shake, as he gave a faint smile.
"Naota Nandaba i'm the 12th Division Vice-Captain, nice to meet you... I would of liked to meet you on different circumstances, since some visard punched my nerves, looks like i'll be needing to study my pressure points all over again..."
He said as he plumped down one of the chairs. |

"It's a pleasure to meet you," Azerik said shaking the hand of the relatively short Lieutenant, "my name is Azerik Zaraki, 4th seat. It would seem the green one hoodwinked me into coming here. I was told to come meet Captain Ryuuza, but instead I find a green cat, a puppet, and my superior lying on the table knocked senseless."
He looked at the Vice-Captain, trying to gauge his temperament. He didn't seem to be particularly cruel like most 12th Division members, but I had learned to doubt first impressions when dealing with my fellow squad members.

"So... this is my new 4th seat."
A bit unexpected, Nonko walked through the doorway. He looked at the new guy, then the puppet and Ket. The puppet stood up straight and looked at the person who he calls Master. Ket simply jumped down to the floor and looked up at him.
"Yep. I brought him here to meet with you."
A lie, but good enough to where Nonko didn't care. He then looked over at Naota who was talking to the....calling him new guy would get old soon. His name Nonko saw in his eye's read out.
"Azerik, welcome to the Division. Hope you'll be a bit more useful then the last person to hold your seat." |

"Thank you Sir," he said looking directly at Captain Ryuuza, "I'll try not to be a disappointment."
Now that he got a look at the two together, it was easy to see the difference between the puppet and its master. The real Nonko, gave off a slightly different scent than the puppet, probably owing to the fact that the Captain was actually a person, as opposed to the puppet, who was a machine made by the man he was modeled after.
After several seconds, Azerik realized he had been staring openly at the Captain, and quickly looked at the lime green fur ball lying on the ground as he spoke, "Your...pet I suppose you could call him, invited me here under the pretense that you had summoned me here, but judging by your reaction to my presence, and the little snippets of conversation I heard on my way here, Ket was intending that your puppet act as yourself in an attempt at some practical joke."

"Not surprising in the least."
Nonko stepped the rest of the way into his office and picked Ket up off the ground. Looking toward the door where the puppet now stood he throw the cat out making it smash into the puppet as it exited. After which the puppet closed the door leaving Naota, Nonko, and Azerik only in the room.
"Well now. Lets see."
Nonko then walked over to the table and leaned against it. He looked at Azerik once more. This time with his right eye only, closing his left.
"Reiatsu, 50....Attack, 100.....Speed, 60. And from your file you need some weapons training. You've unlocked your shikai, you are roughly 6 feet tall, you weigh 130lbs, your Zanpackutou is named Sumasshuyochi, and you suspected age is somewhere near 200."
After Nonko finished reading out Aerik's file through his eye he looked at him with both eye this time.
"Is this information correct or should I make changes to the Database?" |

"No sir, the information is correct," Azerik said slightly disconcerted, but not really surprised at the Captain's words. He had heard a few rumours about the Captain's body, one of them being that his eye was a miniature computer connected to the 12th Division database.
"Although," he said somewhat slowly, "if you like you could mention that I have a somewhat abnormal relationship with my Zanpaktou. As far as I know, most people don't talk to their Zanpaktou the way I do. We have quite trivial conversations from time to time."

As Nonko had appeared through the door way, Naota stood up and bowed his head in the littlest of respects. As he heard what the new guy said about his zanpakutos spirit didn't suprise him as much, to him nothing really suprises him any more.
"And people say that my relationship with a robot spirit is strange..."
He said with again a faint smile. Naota restrained himself from pulling out his ciggarettes, as he got the hint that Nonko doesn't like him smoking in the lab or in his office.
"Captain, can you please fill me in on what happened after my dissapointing defeat against that visard...? My action got way out of hand, and if i was to change what i did, i would know not to get carried away..."
He said as he kept his head bowed down. He was ready for a punch in the face, as by this time he didn't really care about anything really.
"If you allow me to follow him, i can also take death seeds with me, we can learn alot about the visards... And after that is complete please allow me to take my revenge in bringing shame to you and the 12th division by bringing him back to the lab..." |

He had been right. Naota was not as pleasant as he seemed on the surface. Although Azerik knew the Vizards were the enemy at this point, he was against experimenting on them, since thay had after all once been Shinigami. He did not voice these thoughts, but simply looked away at the mention of bringing the Vizard back to the lab.
"With all due respect Vice-Captain," he said looking up at the ceiling, "if the Vizards are as powerful as people say they are, coupled with the fact that you seem to have just barely survived an encounter with one, I think it would be wise to recuperate, and do some more training before you go looking for another fight."

Naotas eyes went soon from welcoming to unpleasent to the new guys words, as he turned his head and afterwards his whole body towards him...
"Do you think, i'm that stupid to not train before chasing after him again?"
There was silence in the room, a long pause waited for Naota as the tension and suspence started to build.
"Soon enough i am almost near the point where i will gain Bankai, and i will make that visard fly to the moon and back..."
Aserik didn't know that part of naotas abillites is to make things explode. But after he finished his words he turned back to the captain awaiting his answer. |

"One day your overconfidence is going to get you killed," he muttered under his breath before saying more loudly, "I didn't question your intelligence Vice-Captain, it just seems to me that your a little too eager to go get yourself killed. For all you know that Vizard might also have Bankai, then what would you do? I can't say I'd enjoy fighting someone with Bankai, and Hollow powers...well, I would enjoy it, but I probably wouldn't get very far though."
Azerik's opinion of the Vice-Captain seemed to be getting worse and worse. He couldn't wait until his training had progressed...he'd wipe away that smug look that now plastered his superiors face.

At that point Naota was getting really pissed of, as Naotas reiatsu rose through the lab. Soon enough Azerik wouldn't be able to move.
"Overconfidence is what got me this vice-captain position with only 5 months in the 13 court gaurd squads... I have only been in soul society for 6 years, so what ever i do, i get stronger, and becoming stronger got me standing here today..."
Naota started to laugh loudly like a maniac.
"I don't care, and i stopped caring along long time ago, before i came here... And i chose not to care when i died in the human world when the girl i loved turned her back on me, and all i got was a bullet in my head..."
The only reason he remembers that is because he hadn't been in soul society for 15 or more years. Soon he would forget thats why he wrote down that day in his journal, so he can never forget that day.
"I am ready to die, and this time i would die knowing that soul society would not turn their back on me, and let me die in vein..."
The pressure lowered as the outline of Naotas reiatsu dissapeared.
"Forgive me captain, i'll get over it..." |

"I should just leave," Azerik said looking at the Vice-Captain with a mix of scorn and pity, "I'm not going to stand around and watch him make a fool out of himself."
The Vice-Captain returned his stare with a look of rage.
"Only idiots choose to die Naota," he said dropping the pretense that he cared what the moron's rank was, "hopefully your smart enough to live past this foolish venture, because when I've gotten stronger, I'd prefer to be able to kill you myself."
He looked at Naota for several more seconds, then sat down and began to ignore his presence. His heart was still racing from when the Vice-Captains reiatsu had spiked, but that only served to intensify his desire to surpass the idiot who would choose to die a second death, rather than use his brain to win against the Vizard he sought revenge from. A prodigy this boy may be, surpassing Azerik in the short amount of time he had been here, but before his recent induction into the 12th Division Azerik had not had any ambition, and had therefore not truly looked to gain power. He had now of course, changed his mind.

Naotas temper grew from every word which passed his ears.
"Don't tempt me to take your arm..."
He said without facing the 4th seat, as Naota walked over to the 4th Seats records he read, and as he read he kept his head down, a soft spoken words escaped his mouth.
"You filthy lycan..."
A menacin smile reached his face, as his eye lids were halfly shut.
"Learn to shut that mouth of yours, if you would of stopped talking, you and i would of got on with a good start, but now i looked at you like all the other seated members, the only one i can really tust at this moments time is Duo as a seated member... So watch your tounge, or you'll be speaking without one..." |

Azerik ignored the Vice-Captain's comments (although he did feel a momentary surge of anger at being called a "filthy lycan"), focusing on the door that led out of the office, wondering if anyone would stop him if he attempted to leave, then wondering what had happened to Ket and the Ryuuza puppet. He also wondered what would happen should he make a request to change Divisions. When he had received Ket's letter to come here, he had been told not to tell anyone outside of squad 12 about this facility, so it stood to reason that they might kill him if he decided to leave the Division in favor of another one.
