Gio never really liked the squad 12 barracks. It always left a sinking feeling in his stomach for some odd reason. Given all the kinds of research going on in the place it might have just been his senses going haywire that upset his nerves but here he was none the less. Requesting to speak with the captain of squad 12

A Shadow would appear hanging over Gio as a large figure blocked out what little light there was in the barracks, the figure stood behind Gio then spoke "Are you here to see the Captain?" When Gio was to eventually see the man he'd see it was non other than the Squad 12 Lieutenant Ryuu, a man whose strength was immense and his Zanpakuto something truly frightening...Zero and Ryuu seemed so close in power yet so far...Ryuu could easily himself be the Captain and Zero the Lieutenant however there was one major thing that separated them...
