Deep below 12th division lies the underground labratory that no one but Captain Fenix uses. It is shrouded in mystery and the members of squad twelve can only guess what the crazy bastard does down there. Some have even tried to find out but they either disappeared or came back muttering to themselves from something they witnessed. Those people are another story entirely though and it will be left up to someone else to tell you that. Now let us turn to the story at hand.......

Flickering lights flashed across the room where a figure could be seen he was dressed in white clothes that could only be suited for some sort of noble like figure, the figure seemed to be running through figures and simulations each time a simulation ended he raised his hand to the back of his head playing with his hair as he twirled it around his finger. Each of the simulations flashed one word before ending the word being highlighted in a flashing red color and it was a simple word in that it was “Death” obviously this was causing the figure some trouble seeing how he had been working on it for several days but something seemed to be missing from his calculations...a missing piece that he needed desperately. Flicking his arm out to the right of him the hologram flew in the direction following his movement, as it followed it collided with several other holograms causing them to create a shattering image before merging back together into a giant hologram displaying several figures with various information on these figures being displayed beside their images.

“Damn guardians...”

As the holograms slowly faded away again a blue sphere of bright flashing light formed into the hand of the figure, as the blue light finished gathering the figure through it up in the air causing it to explode into a hologram of the world displaying various towers throughout the human realm. With markings covering the entire hologram it looked like some sort of detailed plan with as much information as possible packed into it, choke points and various different strategies were dotted all over the hologram with “stage 2” being highlighted in the top corner of the hologram. While the figure studied the hologram and ran even more simulations with the various updates being automatically implemented into the hologram without him even moving a muscle, a girl had formed right beside him it was Tia or to be more precise it was the AI that he had created to aid him and soul society into a new era.

“I can’t take over from here Fenix...you should be heading to the zero sector if I’m not mistaken.”

Fenix nodded while picking up his long white jacket that matched his clothes perfectly they were obviously a se designed by the same person, a smile forming on his face as he rubbed the head of Tia her smiling and blushing lightly in return. Placing his jacket on Fenix began to make his way over to the door that led out of his personal room with it opening up by itself after several scans had verified who he was, his hands being placed inside his pockets he quickly made his way through the corridors of the 12th division lucky for him it was late at night so most of the people were sleeping allowing the machines to take over the research and other jobs. With the machines and people the 12th division always seemed to be full of life and this was probably one of the main reasons behind the sudden increase in technology that soul society was experiencing and Fenix spent very little if any time sleeping instead he chose to focus his efforts on the more important tasks before him.

“Welcome captain Fenix if you will please step inside”

The automated voice had a more robotic tone than most of the things that Fenix had created but a personality or anything wasn’t really needed for the system that protected and monitored the personal lift that only Fenix and a few others used. With the doors open Fenix stepped into the centre of the lift with various different levels Fenix pressed the one titled Section Zero, with the doors closing immediately the lift had begun its steady fall into the deepest and darkest parts of the 12th division. The journey inside the lift took several long moments were Fenix looked at himself inside the chrome like interior of the lift the sides acted as the perfect mirrors, allowing Fenix to fix the way his jacket hung from his body as well as his hair, the one thing Fenix hated was when things weren’t in their place and so he was extremely vigilant when it came to such things. With the lift slowly coming to a stop the clear chrome doors slowly opened up allowing the giant office like room to come into view it was quiet and not the normal type of silence but a dead like silence, if a pin dropped on the floor it would be heard or a dingle drop of water would easily be heard in the dead silence.

“Enjoy your stay captain Fenix.”

Stepping out of the lift had caused the doors to close shut behind him and the room to spring into life with hundreds of holograms appearing out of the thin air as well as the lights to turn on everything was automatic and set to settings of each individual that entered the room. Fenix though had little time to spend in the office instead he had come down to the sector for another reason; he had come to see a person that he had not seen for several weeks now. Stepping out of the office and into the main facility the sound of people rushing around could be heard with various shinigami wearing plain white lab coats rushing past Fenix on the sleeves of the lab coats they had the Section Zero logo indicating that these people were allowed to work and live on this sector indeed many of the people down in the Zero Sector had not left this part of the division for years and had probably forgot what the outside world looked like. It was far more busy that most of the other sectors in the division each team of scientists working on something else from weapons to transportation everything was being researched and created and lightning speed with the aid of various robots, this was perhaps were most of the most breakthroughs had been made and yet very few people know of it not even most of the captains actually knew what went on inside this sector.

Making his way through the sector various cells could be seen the deeper he went into the division the larger and more sophisticated the cells became, some had varies types of seals and lasers on them others were releasing gasses to subdue the creatures inside the cells no matter how you looked at the cells they were beyond the current technology of the world which might cause one to wonder how Fenix could create such things. Some creatures charged at the front of the cells only to be fired backwards into the walls by some sort of energy field, others watched Fenix walk past with cold lifeless eyes and some watched like they were waiting for their chance to strike and severe his head from his body, the people inside the cells were from all sort of species and cultures from human to hollow. Even the sounds of roars from animals could be heard echoing throughout the cells and it became clear that this was not just a normal prison by more like the people and animals inside the cells were being used as nothing more than mere lab rats, reaching the end of one of the rows of cells Fenix stopped walking and gently gave the front of the cell a knock with the back of his hand to get the attention of the thing that was hidden in the shadow of the corner at the back of the cage.

“Yo.”

Fenix spoke with a more friendly tone than one might expect as he waited for the figure in the cage to either greet him back or do something else it was up to the figure how it responded, either way Fenix didn’t really care.

Inside the cage you hear the movement of shoes scuffing against the ground as if the prisoner were to lazy to pick his feet up all the way. Then as if sprouting from the darkness itself a dimly lit figure appears in the middle of the cell.

"Well well.... Isn't this quite the surprise....." The prisoner said a wide smile creasing his pale face. "The mighty Captain Fenix comes to visit once again and here I was starting to think you had forgotten me?!"
