The walls broke down into a steel cage, the vibrating metals of magnets and robotic implants sealing off the room. With a little cough into his hand, he immediately groaned and cracked his neck.
"Fine. This stays confidential then."
With a ripple, Rioshi's white haori was ripped off, torn aside and thrown on the chair as the first real look at him beneath the captain's garb was revealed; even to Mickas, the insufferable idiot of a friend.
First, the obscured robots sliding off Rioshi revealed a stern brow, a calm set of hair almost reflection white in the dim air. The scent of food overpowering from the kitchens, the smell of fresh carpentry and engine oils were unmistakable: the large form of Michael looming over the room hardly hiding the blue and steel veins that seemed to be corrupting the Scientist's skin. Expressionless, a tight black vest and a locker chain of a pair of glasses hung neatly from a chain as the Haori itself lost completely.
"You call me looney, Michael? Perhaps." the gloves tore and shaped to the Twelfth's palms. The metal tips suddenly elogating into a series of nerves like an exoskeleton as millions of cameras inside the gloves displayed the entire process on the wall as he worked. "But I Never Fail."
A moment of expectant silence cast itself on the room, Rioshi covering Aki with a solid heavy uniform that melded to her skin like liquid metal as he shredded the cloth covering her shoulderblade to ribbons- with scalpels no less!
"Mifune, we've never so much as talked outside of Captain's meetings, and the only Captain here who bothered to see me outside of their official capacity is Michael. You never even so much as sent me a hello card. You cannot *trust* me to do anything. But no. I will not destroy the restaurant, as half the establishment can be recreated at will, along with the entire Gotei if I have to. I will help you, if this is so important."
With a curt nod, the entire skeleton of machines hovering around the room cascaded into Rioshi's hands. Robots, every shape and size slowly being melted between those covered gloves as glowing purple eyes closed in acknowledgement of her words. Lights from several observation robots hummed into existence over every Captain's shoulder, and the operation was set to begin.
"Prosthetic frame!" Rioshi roared lightly, the steel steaming with a light hiss as at least 30 different antibiotics, biotic enhancements, and pain relief medications were patched into her bloodsteam through air borne gasses. Though painful, he did not let them infect the others behind him, and simply filtrated through his suit and acidically dissolved his liver at least twice to compound them without halting the surgery.
Snapping his fingers, the steel hissed and cooled as he tilted his head in a light nod. "Nerve repair! Tissue regeneration! Reiatsu amplification! Stabilizing coolant!" he angrily ordered out as his own skin strained to control thousands of microscopic machines. Before your eyes, the skin at the base of the wound healed; merging machine with Aki's flesh. A gradual scaffolding of steel bone, a river of coolant flexing the muscles to interface with her nervous system was blazing hot, the hissing growing louder as if Rioshi was poundinghammer and tongs over an infernal forge cast in flames.
"Coating base, silver! Protective bloodstream coils! Infusion to cover the loss of blood to the new...MMMmph! Arm!" the Scientist spits out like a stubborn martyr, a white hum coiling along the limb as if creating life itself. Mifune's blood during the infusion easily replenished, the blood of the Captain soon filled the arm with her own life energy as the muscles torn and regrew inside the new arm, silver melting into the flesh for easy engraving while it was still burning hot.
"Latches! Detachable systems check! Mental uplink!" Rioshi organized as his teeth cut and bled his own reiatsu into her arm as the transfusion could not hold living reiatsu to a drugged surgical repair unit, the robots swirling around the arm as the seat itself seemed to melt under the pressure; heat itself unquestionable in the demand for perfect malleability. Able to change, able to sculpt and mend the muscles into every shape with just the flicker of a thought.
With one last slam, the Captain of the Twelfth Division, the Machine Heart unsheathed his zanpaktou and plunged it blade first into the unliving hand's palm. The hiss of ice answered immediately, melting with machinery- forcing it into the socket and jumpstarting her immune system as the silver limb finally snapped into place and words shimmered gold upon the side.
"Nuada Airgetlám."
As the tension suddenly disappeared from Rioshi's face from the constant sedating of pain from Aki's body, he slumped without a single robot left from merging into the Mifune's new arm and crashed into her table. His eyes dimmed and he passed out; completely drained as he shut down and they reappeared inside the restaurant proper.
