The remaining bount had woken up to find an eerily silent and empty mansion. They saw blood stains everywhere but no bodies. Koga noticed the letter on the coffee table next to a small mound of black sand. He reached the letter and opened it.
The others had noticed Koga and the letter and were uneasy and puzzled at their current situation. Koga suddenly read the letter aloud. "Vampires, you are quite lucky I was given this assignment. My fellow brothers in the Hunter's Association would have killed you all. I have been keeping my eye on you. Your little group did not attack the populace so I decided to spare you. Take this as a warning, humanity has protection from the supernatural and if any of you decide to make me regret this decision, I will finish what I started this night."
The bount could not stop the cold chill that they felt. They all looked at each other and decided to leave Karakura for some time.

Viktor had finished his bount hunt and was now moving to another part of the city and wanted to take out one of the most annoying bastards in the series, the fullbringers. Their damn filler arc took forever in the anime.
Viktor had arrived in Naruki city. He decided to have fun with this one so, He made a few clones to quickly incapacitate the fullbringers he would spare and then he would fight the remaining ones head on.
His clones found Riruka Dokugamine, Yukio Hans Vorarlberna and Moe Shishigawara. He had his clones sedate them. He shifted to his John Wick persona and got dressed in his classic black suit. He walked into the bar and saw target number one. He sat at the bar and ordered a bourbon neat.
Giriko poured the drink and placed it in front of the mysterious American. The American put down 20,000 yen. "Keep them coming until this runs out." He said in fluent Japanese. Giriko nodded and saw that the American had finished his drink so he refilled the glass. Giriko was disgusted by the the gluttony of the American, but he was a paying customer. He continued to refill the glass and when he finally finished off the 20,000 yen, the American put another 20,000 on the bar.
The American had almost finished the bottle of bourbon and was smoking a cigarette but the American passed out on the bar and almost set himself on fire. Giriko gave an annoyed sigh and put the cigarette in the ashtray and helped the drunk American to a booth and turned around to call the drunk a cab.
Viktor was not drunk, he unfortunately could never get drunk ever again with his new metabolism but, he could play a good drunk. When Giriko helped him into the booth, Viktor used one of the oldest tricks in the book, Sleight of hand. While Giriko was annoyed at carrying such a heavy burden, Viktor took his pocket watch, which happened to be his fullbring trigger or whatever they called it. He hated that arc so he skipped most of it.
When Giriko turned around to make it to the phone, Viktor pulled out a silened 9mm handgun and fired it into the back of Giriko's head. Giriko somehow sensed the danger and was able to move his head just enough that the bullet only grazed his skull. The bad news was, that he now had a concussion and was disoriented. He didnt get to think to long because two bullets went through his skull.
Viktor was surprised the guy was able to dodge the bullet but, he hadn't been quick enough because he grazed his skull and rang Giriko's bell. That gave him enough time to put two through the guys temple. Now he just had to go up the stairs and wait for either Ginjo or Tsukishima. He got a bottle of bourbon and went up the stairs and used his shadow ability to get through the locked door and into the Xcution lounge. He chose a comfortable seat in the shaded corner of the room and poured himself a drink.
Ginjo and Tsukishima entered the bar after having spent the day looking for the others. They were getting worried and were wondering where they could be. They entered the bar and were greeted with the sight of Giriko's corpse next to the bar. They inspected his corpse and saw that he had been shot.
The duo were puzzled and angered. They had thought that maybe Soul Society had killed Giriko but it seemed like he had been robbed but it made no sense because he should have been able to use his fullbring ability. They locked the bar and decided to go upstairs to see if their other team members had arrived.
They went upstairs and disengaged the locks to their secret hideout. They both entered the lounge and saw that no one was in the room. Tsukishima and Ginjo were trying to make sense of everything and then they heard a clicking noise.
Viktor watched the assclowns walk into the room and since they hadn't noticed him he decided to make himself know. He cocked the hammer on his 9mm. He saw them look around for the source of the noise and he fired at the biggest pain in the ass, Tsukishima.
Tsukishima and Ginjo saw the flash and were able to use their bringer light to move out of the bullet's path. They drew their swords and charged the man who was sitting casually with a drink in hand. Ginjo tried to stab the man but he was just an after image. He swung at the man who was now at his side with a gun pointed at his head.
That turned out to be another after image because he felt a barrel pressed to the back of his head. Ginjo gritted his teeth and decided to try and buy Tsukishima time to strike the strange shinigami down. "Since when do shinigami use handguns?" he asked derisively.
Viktor just chuckled, "Who said I'm a shinigami?" He then flash stepped into Ginjo's blindspot to avoid the slash he aimed at him. "You are probably wondering why it's taking your partner so long to kill me, well to answer that, you just gotta turn around." Viktor said as he flash stepped into a dark corner.
Ginjo was upset, every strike so far had only taken out after images. He then turned around and saw Tsukishima's decapitated corpse. He hadn't even realized his friend had died. He then searched the room frantically. "SHOW YOURSELVES YOU SHINIGAMI BASTARDS!" He yelled in a panic.
Viktor pulled a move from the dark knight himself and flashed stepped onto the ceiling and pointed his gun at the frantic man's head. He pulled the trigger. Ginjo only had enough time to look up before two bullets entered in between his eyes. "I'm right here." he then watched the corpse drop his sword and collapse.
Viktor looked at the corpse and flash stepped next to it. "Huh... he fell funny." He shook his head and used his Devour ability on the corpses, evidence and gore. The room was cleaned of any indication that anything had happened in it. He had his clones bring the sedated fullbringers and placed them on the couches.
He left another letter and stepped into a shadow to the outside and went to a yakitori stall for a late night snack, happy at having had his revenge on the filler arc ashholes.
As he sat at the stall eating his chicken skewers and drinking his beer, he was having a conversation with his accomplices. "So now that you got that out of your system, what are you gonna do now?" asked a curious Cortana.
"Now we wait until Ichigo goes to Kisuke's for training and then we troll the emotional moron into hopefully accepting who he is and getting him off of this pussy foot b.s. and sit back and watch the story unfold for a bit until we can absorb the soukyu which will hopefully strengthen our soul. Then we initiate phase 3 and then we leave this universe."
Noob spoke up, "Our hollow and hogyoku has strengthened our Devour ability enough to absorb the soukyu."
"What about Yoruichi, Chief? Are you going to attempt to take her with us to the next world?" Cortana asked.
"As much as I like Yoruichi, I dont think I will. Our mission comes first, she maybe a trained assasin but her heart is not really in it. She is surprisingly pure hearted for an assasin. Last and most importantly I don't love her. We both agreed that we would only be lovers to relieve our urges nothing more and nothing less."
"That's awful pragmatic of you, Chief. Will you ever settle down? Isn't that lonely?" Cortana asked sullenly.
"Maybe someday, but for right now we have a mission to complete and we still have one more world to go to before we even start it. You two are all I need. If I need to relieve some stress I can always find someone looking for the same andif I get lonely, I can always get a dog."
"You're such a romantic... But you can count on us to watch your back Chief. I wouldn't mind a puppy either." Cortana happily replied.
"I'm your shadow, brother. I'll always have your back." Noob added.
"Thanks you two... Now, I just have to wait for Strawberry-kun and we can get started." Viktor finished his beer and left a tip on the counter and walked into the night.
--- 2 WEEKS LATER---
Viktor seemed to forget that in the anime most episodes were a time skip so nothing progressed at the pace he wanted but his clone had just notified him that Ichigo had just been brought to Kisuke's. A sadistic grin appeared on his face thinking of how he was gonna get to beat Ichigo down during his training. He then shadow travelled to a few blocks from Urahara shop.
He appeared in a dark alley and walked to the shop. He arrived and saw the kids sweeping up outside and saw Jinta shiver at the sight of him and quickly went back to his chores and Ururu gave him a shy smile. That kid was bullying her again seems he needs some remedial training and that little girl is such a sweetheart, Viktor thought.
"Hey kids, doing chores, I see. Keep up the good work... oh and Jinta, I hope you can help me with my target practice later. See you in there." Viktor smirked at their reactions. Ururu blushed and Jinta paled.
He stepped into the shop and Tessai shook his head in exasperation, "At this rate you will give that buy some sort of permanent trauma."
"Nonesense, Tessai-san. I'm just helping him with reaction training." Viktor replied as he walked into the back of the shop
Tessai shook his head and chuckled knowing that now that Shori was back Jinta would be on his best behavior. Shori may be hard on jinta sometimes but he also helped him with his baseball swing and dribbling skills when they played soccer.
Viktor in his Shori persona whistled on his way to see Kisuke and just happened to walk into the lounge where he was having a conversation with Ichigo.
"Yo, I'm back. Oh... Kisuke, should I call the police and let them know you are luring young boys into your shop with promises of candy?" Viktor asked in mock concern.
Kisuke facepalmed and muttered some very not nice things under his breathe. "Shori-san, this is not anything like that and secondly, why are you here?"
"Can't I come visit my friends and brighten their day? You know, that level of animosity hurts." Viktor replied with a grin.
"Who the hell is this?! Look old man, I have business with hat and clogs so just wait your turn." The orangette exclaimed.
Kisuke and Yoruichi both looked at Ichigo in pity because he just called the troll prince's attention to himself.
"Kisuke, who is the prepubescent carrot top?" Viktor asked as he pointed at at the now fuming teen.
"Who are you calling a carrot top, you bald old man?!" Ichigo exploded back.
Viktor then looked at Ichigo with pitying eyes, "You poor child, You can't even notice the radioactive porcupine quills on your head. Kisuke, you need to help this poor boy."
Ichigo had heard a lot of crap about his hair growing up but the bald old man who had walked into the shop had really pissed him off. He got up and was going to punch him in his stupid old face but as soon as he did Kisuke had grabbed his shoulder and forced him back into his seat. He never even saw him move.
"Ichigo-san its best you don't do that. I can't guarantee your life if you were to attack him. He is just messing with you. He likes to push everyone's buttons but he really enjoys picking on those with short tempers. Allow me to introduce you to one of your future trainers, Shori kage. Shori-san this is Ichigo Kurosaki and he will need your help to train him once he gets his shinigami powers back."
Viktor looked at Kisuke then to Ichigo. "What an irresponsible child, misplacing his shinigami powers. They aren't keys you can just lose, you know... I guess I can take time from my busy schedule to teach a toddler how to walk. Just tell me when he's ready for my tutelage. I'll be in my room if you need me." Viktor then gave a condescending smirk to Ichigo before he walked out of the lounge.
Ichigo was seeing red. He had never met someone that could push his buttons like the bald geezer. He thought Kisule had been bad but he was a sweet old man compared to that geezer.
