The grand hall of the First Division is a place of solemnity and respect, reserved for the most critical discussions among the Gotei 13. The room is expansive, with high ceilings and ornate decorations. A large, round table occupies the center, surrounded by chairs for each captain. The air is thick with anticipation as the captains gather, their eyes fixed on Raiden Tsukuyomi, who stands at the head of the table alongside Shunsui Kyōraku.
Shunsui Kyōraku: "Thank you all for gathering on such short notice. As you're aware, Raiden Tsukuyomi recently demonstrated an extraordinary level of power. We're here to discuss the implications of this."
Raiden Tsukuyomi: "I appreciate your time, Captain-Commander, and fellow captains. My intention today is to provide clarity on my abilities and address any concerns."
Byakuya Kuchiki: "Raiden, your display was unprecedented. What drove you to such an extreme demonstration?"
Raiden Tsukuyomi: "I needed to understand the full extent of my capabilities, especially given the diverse nature of my powers. It was also essential to ensure that I can control them effectively without posing a risk to anyone."
Mayuri Kurotsuchi: "Your powers are an amalgamation of Quincy, Shinigami, and Hollow abilities, along with your unique Saiyan forms. How do you intend to maintain balance with such a volatile mix?"
Raiden Tsukuyomi: "Balance is key. I've spent years mastering each aspect of my abilities. My Zanpakutō, Jikū no Yume, plays a crucial role in helping me manage the complex interplay of these powers."
Retsu Unohana: "And what of your recent ascension to Shukai? How does this affect your overall power and stability?"
Raiden Tsukuyomi: "Shukai amplifies my control over time and reality, but it also requires immense concentration and restraint. I've integrated it into my skill set to ensure it enhances my abilities without overwhelming them."
Kenpachi Zaraki: "What I want to know is, how do you measure up in a fight now? Can you handle the likes of Yhwach on your own?"
Raiden Tsukuyomi: "In terms of raw power, yes, I believe I can. However, it's not just about power. Strategy, teamwork, and understanding our enemies are equally important. That's why I'm here-to work with you all to protect the Soul Society."
Shunsui Kyōraku: "It's clear that Raiden's powers are both a tremendous asset and a potential risk. We need to establish protocols for their use and ensure that Raiden remains integrated within the Gotei 13's framework."
Raiden Tsukuyomi: "Agreed. I am committed to the safety and stability of the Soul Society. I will adhere to any protocols we establish and ensure my powers are used responsibly."
Toshiro Hitsugaya: "It's reassuring to hear that, Raiden. Given your unique abilities, we should also consider training sessions to better understand how we can all work together in various scenarios."
Raiden Tsukuyomi: "I'm open to that. Sharing knowledge and strategies will only strengthen us as a unit."
Shunsui Kyōraku: "Then it's settled. We'll develop a comprehensive plan to incorporate Raiden's abilities into our defense strategy while ensuring their safe application. Thank you all for your insights. This meeting is adjourned."
As the captains begin to leave, Raiden feels a sense of relief and resolve. His place within the Gotei 13 is affirmed, and he knows that together, they will face whatever challenges lie ahead with strength and unity.
