There were still four more members written to be among the Visoreds: Mashiro Kuna, Hiyori Sarugaki, Lisa YadMmaru, and Hachigen UshMda.

　　Hachigen, although not a member of the thirteen court guard squads, was a lieutenant under Tessai at one point. The only other notable members of this group are Mashiro and Lisa. The former has lime green hair and has extremely immature mannerisms. While the latter, she became strong enough to earn the rank of captain (having once served as Shunsui`s lieutenant.)

　　The only thing noteworthy about Hiyori was that she was the lieutenant under Kisuke when he was a captain. The two hadn`t gotten along at the start but eventually warmed up to one another as time went on.

　　All Visoreds gain enhanced speed and strength when donning their Hollow mask, with each of them being able to maintain their mask for a set period of time. Their power becomes so heavily augmented that they can even perform a "Cero", a strong blast of crimson energy—only performed by high-ranking Hollows—that can be fired with an extremely wide arc, powerful enough to devastate an opponent.

　　Most of the Visoreds cannot keep their Hollow masks on for more than three minutes, unlike Mashiro, who can keep hers on for over fifteen hours. This was without her having undergone Hollow retention training.

　　Their story wasn`t hard to remember.

　　Around one hundred years ago, the Seireitei became informed of random disappearances. These sudden acts caused a great uproar within the thirteen court guard squads. Because of this, Kensei, then-captain, took it upon themselves to investigate the situation.

　　His entire squad, including Mashiro, were all cut down by an unknown assailant. When their spiritual pressures disappeared in a manner similar to the previous disappearances, the thirteen court guard squads became worried and sent out a new investigation team personally handpicked by Genryksai.

　　Shinji, Love, Rose, Lisa, and Hachigen all set out to find the missing Soul Reapers. Hiyori, who was Kisuke`s lieutenant, was already on her way to collect samples from the disappearance site, per her captain`s request.

　　When the dispatch group finally arrived, they found Hiyori and then themselves under attack by a Hollowed-out Kensei and Mashiro. Even while working as a team, they were overpowered by their brutal attacks.

　　Hachigen, therefore, bound Mashiro and Kensei using kidM. Hiyori suddenly began undergoing Hollowfication and attacked Shinji without warning. The others were then surrounded by a pitch-black darkness that also rendered them unable to sense each other, where they were systematically cut down.

　　After the darkness lifted, Shinji was the only one still conscious to see that the unknown assailant was Kaname TMsen, who held the sixth seat in squad nine, using his Bankai against them.

　　Shinji tried to question Kaname about the betrayal of his captain while he and the others were going through various stages of Hollowfication. Aizen, Shinji`s lieutenant at the time, then showed up to explain that Kaname was merely following his orders. Alongside Aizen was also a young Gin Ichimaru, who held the third seat in Shinji`s squadron at the time.If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it`s taken without the author`s consent. Report it.

　　Aizen explained how he was behind it all and that he had been manipulating Shinji from the start using his ZanpakutM`s powerful hypnotic abilities.

　　Giving Kaname permission to eliminate Hiyori, the subordinate launched an attack. Shinji fought back valiantly, initially gaining the upper hand thanks to his increased power. However, the Hollowfication process took hold, weakening him. Before Aisen could finish him off, Kisuke and Tessai intervened, their cloaked forms shielding him from further harm.

　　After Aizen and his followers got away, the duo tended to Shinji and the rest of the victims, who were deep in the process of their Hollowfication. Kisuke said he could possibly help them at his lab, so Tessai used a forbidden KidM to transport them there. Kisuke then tried to reverse the process with the HMgyoku he had created, which failed to produce the results he had intended.

　　The following morning, Kisuke and Tessai were arrested and brought before Central 46.

　　They were swiftly tried with little opportunity to defend themselves, all of which was instigated by Aizen. Kisuke was sentenced to be stripped of his Soul Reaper powers and exiled to the world of the living. However, before the sentence could be carried out, he and Tessai were rescued by Yoruichi, who would eventually lead them away.

　　The eight Visoreds were then placed in special Gigais to help conceal their spiritual pressures, and then taken to the world of the living to try and find a way to undo the Hollowfication process. Sadly, Kisuke`s attempts failed, and he eventually established his store while the Visoreds hid themselves somewhere in Karakura Town.

　　Not much is written during the gap between this event and the time Ichigo met them. It was only one hundred years later that Shinji appeared randomly to show the hero of the world that he could use Hollow powers as well.

　　Visoreds are still, in fact, Soul Reapers, appearing entirely like one. Their only difference is that they are able to summon devil-shaped masks, which in turn grant them generic Hollow powers. Not only do they gain these different powers, but their retained Soul Reaper powers become augmented.

　　Four captains and four lieutenant-level Soul Reapers. Acquiring Hollow powers made the Visoreds outcasts, criminals in the eyes of Soul Society. Their former leadership roles now label them traitors, so they forged their own path, their only true loyalty reserved for helping Ichigo Kurosaki, who understood their struggle.

　　" "

　　Far out on the outskirts of Karakura Town, Silas was seen walking in the same manner he left. There wasn`t a single change in his posture, nor was there a need for him to open his eyes.

　　With each step he took, his senses expanded, following the small traces of high-level spiritual pressures. He knew better than anyone to search for mere Soul Reapers; he was searching for Soul-Reaper-mixed-Hollows.

　　To do this was simple. By using his own Hollowfied powers, he would send out a reflective pulse that could only bounce back if it made contact with specific barriers. The barrier he had targeted was called "Hachigyou Sougai", a technique performed by Hachigen. Not only was it a barrier that only he could perform, it was created via his Hollow powers.

　　The barrier itself erases whatever is within it from existence and removes the space it takes up from an outsider`s inner consciousness, making it impossible to perceive its presence. The very thought of getting close to it does not even occur to those outside. And it is so powerful and unique in composition that it cannot be undone by a Soul Reaper`s kidM—of which only one person has ever managed to both detect it and slip through it: Orihime.

　　Silas didn`t need to get through it; he merely needed to get a visual representation of where the area was the moment his pulse reflected back. If he couldn`t get a reaction because Hachigen didn`t have the barrier up, he would have no problem trying again another day.

　　A few hours passed until he finally felt something.

　　In a rundown part of the town, where there were abandoned warehouses, Silas stopped in front of one. It looked exactly like what he had remembered. His voice, although soft, echoed: "Shinji Hirako, Love Aikawa, Rose Ltoribashi, Kensei Muguruma, Mashiro Kuna, Hiyori Sarugaki, Hachigen UshMda, and Lisa YadMmaru... Come out now!"
