.:Abarai Renji:. Posted December 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 Hope you get good luck with that. Either way, here is Chapter 12 [spoiler=Chapter 12 – A Conversation With the Enemy][align=center]Chapter 12 – A Conversation With the Enemy They never saw it coming. Harry was too busy checking on his injured arm for further infections while Ron was tending to the damage on the house. He sighed a bit as he used the possibly 20th Reparo spell for today on a damaged part of the west wing, where a window had fallen into the house and shattered into pieces. ”Reparo!” he uttered, whipping his wand, and the shards were reforged with a sleek sound, and the window frame rose up and repaired itself, as well as putting itself back into the wall hole and was soon joined with the glass squares of the window. Ron smiled at a job well done, and nodded to himself. ”These are gonna be the best windows in all this base!” he said in pride, and went off to see if there were any more damage on the house. He did not find any now, so he decided to rest for awhile. He passed by Harry's room, and looked inside. He saw Harry sitting on his bed, looking on his arm. He had bandaged it now, so the bleeding had stopped. But he seemed to worry about something. ”Harry? What's up?” asked Ron. Harry jerked in surprise of Ron's voice, but turned his head to him with a smile. "Oh, hello Ron." he said faintly, and stood up. "Ya know, nothin' special." "Oh, alright." Ron replied, and looked at Harry's face. It seemed to be rather pale and more worried than usual. "Harry, you sure you're ok? You don't look so well..." Harry nodded slowly. "Y-Yeah, I'm fine..." he lied, but then sighed as he knew lying would not get him anywhere at this point. "Well, actually... I'm worried." "Worried about what, Harry?" Ron inquired, as he and Harry went to the living room, sitting down in a couch each. "Worried about the safety of the Union." said Harry, and Ron realized what he was on, and nodded in agreement. "I mean, first off, Lee died... then Mileena... then Ben... and now Kakashi died, and Rika and Renamon left us behind. I think that... it's safe to say that we're the ONLY members of the Union now, Ron." with this, Harry sighed and bent his head down slightly. He knew that Rika and Renamon would either not return on a long time... or not return at all. He knew very well that if they were attacked now, there would be little or no chance of them to defend themselves. Who knew what they were going to face next? If that Regulant guy was able to kill Ben with one punch, and if those Shinigamis had so strong - perhaps even stronger - powers that they displayed when they killed Kakashi, then perhaps there were even more powerful races out there. He wondered if they would get out of this alive, or if they soon would die too. Ron then sighed, sat up, and looked at Harry. "Harry, look..." he said, a slight seriousness in his tone. "I know that alot has happened here these past few days... but, you know, we can't back out of it now. I mean, we're the Union of Justice. We can't let evil win. Remember what you swore to do when you joined with me? You swore to protect and serve good-will and justice, even if you put your life on the line. As did I, even if I was stammering half of the oath... but that's not the point! The point is that we made the oath, and I'd be dead before I chicken out on it. So, Harry... you with me?" he finished by standing up and offering Harry his hand as he finished speaking. Harry was just flabbergastered at Ron's behavior right now, as he had not seen him like this for a long time. The last time he saw Ron so determined was at their first year at Hogwarths, when they had to face of gigantic chess pieces on a chess field in order to get to Voldemort. But then again, these days, surprises like these came more and more frequent, it seemed. Harry just shrugged with a smile, before taking Ron's hand and pulling himself up as Ron pulled him up as well. "Thanks Ron. I really needed that." he said. "Now, I think that there's some minor damages left around here, am I right?" Ron nodded. "I think so, Ha-! GET DOWN!!!" he shouted and pushed Harry down to the floor as something that seemed to be a giant yo-yo of some sort bashed through the newly-repaired windows and shattered the glass and window frame, sendind shards and wood splinters all over the floor as the yo-yo retracted from the newly-made hole. Ron gasped for air after the hasty dodge, and stood up with Harry. "W-What the bloody hell was that?!" he inquired. Harry shook his head. "I-I don't know, but it can't be good!" he said, as he and Ron grabbed their wands and rushed outside. As they came outside, they were almost crushed by the same yo-yo, but Harry hastily shouted, "PROTEGO!" as a barrier formed and deflected the weapon, as it returned to its master... or mistress. "Ahahahahahaha! What's the matter, can't keep up, little boys?!" a female voice cackled, and the attacker was visible. Her appearance was similar to the Gothic lolita style of Japanese fashion. Her outfit consisted of a frilly dress, large poofy sleeves that cut off at her shoulder, short purple-colored hair, purple-colored eyes, light purple teardrop markings on each cheek, and knee-high boots. She also wore fingerless, evening-style gloves and leg warmers attached to garters at her thighs. She has wings on her back, and in her hair right above the left side of her forehead she had a spiked hairpin. "My, my! Aren't we a little young to play with the grown-ups, huh?" she cheekily said as she saw Ron and Harry. "Hey, you!" Ron yelled. "You have any bloody idea of how long it took to fix the house?! IT TOOK A BLOODY HOUR!" but the woman only responded by sending the oversized yo-yo at him again, as he barely dodged the attack. "Puh-lease! Don't interrupt a woman when she talks! I was not finished." she snarled, and retracted the yo-yo. "Now, as you are gonna die anyways, I will say you my name; Arrancar Nr. 105; Cirucci Sanderwicci!" with this, she leaped down to them, landing about a meter or so in front of them, her yo-yo being looped into a long whip with a red/golden patterned handle. "And now... the Grand Finale!" with this, she threw the yo-yo at them again in a straight line, as it crashed between the two wizards, forcing them to jump to the sides. "D-Damn! She is quick!" said Ron as he hastily aimed his wand at Cirucci. "AQUA ERUCTO!" a stream of water was fired at Cirucci, as it engulfed her entirely. She merely cackled as her head resurfaced in the water stream that channeled through Ron's wand. "Hahahahaha! You think some water will stop me?!" she said, preparing to retract and send out her yo-yo again, but then, another voice was heard; "GLACIUS!" it was Harry, who had his wand aimed at the water stream around Cirucci. An ice blast was sended from its tip, and instantly froze the water solid upon contact. Ron stopped his Aqua Eructo spell, and the ice encased Cirucci's body with amazing speed, making her encased in a block of ice. Harry and Ron were panting now, and they seemed really exhausted. "H-Heh... heh... I-I guess we did it..." "Well, well, well! What a SPLENDID performance!" an enigmatic voice said, and the sound of hands clapping were heard. Harry and Ron turned around, and saw another of the Regulants - Kevin - stand on top of the Union HQ's roof, applauding for their efforts. He stopped clapping as he noticed them look at him, and he smiled at the two of them. "I do have to say, you two are astonishingly powerful! I mean, even for a couple of wizards, you still pack a punch or two!" he leaped down to them, landing beside the frozen Cirucci Sanderwicci. "Tsk tsk tsk... too bad, Cirucci. You didn't keep your eyes open, ya see?" he said, speaking to her even if she was frozen solid. "Well, well... guess I'll have to take ya outta there." he cracked his knuckles, and prepared an attack. "H-Hey! Wait, you'll kill her!" gasped Harry. The ice was thick and solid around Cirucci, so if Kevin did break through the ice, it would completely shatter with her inside of it, and she would die. But to their surprise, Kevin simply punched lightly at a specific spot of the ice casing, and as small cracks began to form in the ice, Cirucci's yo-yo seemed to spin inside of the ice. "W-What?!" Harry didn't get a chance to think about what was going on, before the ice shattered - revealing that Cirucci was alive... and extremely pissed off. "WHAT KIND OF F*CKING BRATS ARE YOU?!? I'M GONNA FRICKIN' SQUASH YOU TWO LIKE THE INSECTS YOU ARE!!!!" she yelled in pure fury, and lashed out her whip yo-yo at them, making it spin in a spiral-like angle as it raced towards them. Ron and Harry acted quickly, standing next to each other as they held up their wands at the advancing weapon. "PROTEGO!" they both shouted, as their two barriers merged into one and would probably defend them. But to their surprise, the spinning movement had made the thrush force of the yo-yo more powerful, and the two wizards' barriers shatter, and Ron was hit head-on by the massive weapon as he gagged and coughed up blood, before crashing into one of the HQ's walls. Harry was desperate now, and aimed his wand at Cirucci. "SECTUMSEMPRA!" he demanded, and a shockwave of arcane energy was sent towards Cirucci, but to Harry's surprise, Kevin appeared in front of her, and deflected the spell with his bare hand, as it crashed into a tree and turned it to nothing but splinters of wood. Harry was only standing there, looking both surprised and shocked at the fact that his spell did nothing against the Regulant. "Hm? What's that?" Kevin asked. "Oh! Now I get it! You wonder why I wasn't affected by your spell? Well, it is a horrible spell, that Sectumsempra, I agree. A spell with the similar effect of an invisible sword, slashing and stabbing the target continously and causing scars and internal bleeding. It's not a nice view. Though, I can easily deflect that... with this." he held up his hand, and it flared with a blue-colored energy. Harry was amazed at this. "See? This is pure, materialized Chi. I use it in my fighting style, much similar to that of the Hyūga Clan's Jūken Fighting Style. I can internally damage my enemies using my Chi attacks, and also enhance my own fighting power. It is a tricky power to maintain, but since I have mastered it, it's no problem at all for me. So I ask you, wanna have a go with me?" Kevin stood in a traditional Tai Chi fighting position, and awaited Harry's next move. Cirucci seemed maddened by this, and smashed her yo-yo into the ground in front of Kevin. "HEY! I had my eyes on them FIRST!" she snarled, glaring at Kevin with piercing eyes. "I am the one who should fight him!" "You had your go, Cirucci, and that almost killed you." Kevin said in a surprisingly serious tone, looking at Cirucci with the same seriousness in his eyes. "You underestimated them for their external powers, and thought you could win. Master Broken told us not to underestimate the Union, though they would seem to look like normal persons, they hide great powers. These two are wizards from birth, and they have greater powers than you can imagine. Cirucci. Return to your master, now. Fred would of said the same thing about this situation, would it be him that stood here now." Cirucci merely gave Kevin a disrespecful "Hmph!" before she was about to departure. But as she leaped off, she was forced to dodge as a boulder was thrown in front of her, and it flew straight for Kevin. He, however, noticed it come closer to him, and with a quick kick, he shattered it to small rocks. "WHO WAS THAT?!?" yelled Cirucci, being more pissed off than ever. "COME OUT AND SHOW YOURSELF, DAMN WUZZES!!" "You were saying?" ~~~~~~~~~~ The voice came from above once again, and had both Cirucci and Kevin look upwards. On the roof stood five shaded figures, looking down on the Pivardon Espada and Regulant. Though they were hard to recognize, Harry immidiently saw who two of the figures were. "RIKA! RENAMON!" he said in happiness and surprise at once, and soon enough, the shaded figures in the front were visible. It was indeed Rika and Renamon, and Rika was back in her regular clothes and hairstyle. And then, the third figure appeared. It was the mysterious Uryū person that had helped them earlier when the Shinigami had attacked them. He brandished his spider-web formed bow once again, as he held onto it tightly. "You two ok?" he asked in a slightly "cool" tune, as he observed Cirucci and Kevin. His eyes frowned a bit as he saw Cirucci. "You again... didn't you learn your lesson when we met in Las Noches?" "YOU! I got a score to settle with you, Four-Eyes!" she yelled, and extended her yo-yo towards Uryū, Rika, Renamon, and the two others. They all dodged the attack as the yo-yo demolished the top roof of the HQ. Now the two others were visible; One was a muscular, tall and slender young man in appearance. He had blue eyes and straight, light purple hair which was cut short and only reached the tip of his ears. He was wearing golden boots, grey pants, a black sleeveless shirt, and an indigo jacket which had a symbol imprinted on its left shoulder, titled "Capsule Corp." On his back was a sword sheathe strapped on, and in it was a sword with a black handle. On his side was something that resembled an anthropomorphic hedgehog with white fur on his head and chest, while his skin was white overr his body, except around his mouth, where his skin was tan in color. His yellow eyes seemed to be filled with the passion for justice and right, and on his feet he wore navy-blue boots with the tips colored aqua-blue, and with a white string across the middle and golden rings around the top of them, where an aqua-blue line was shining. His hands had white gloves with golden cuffs on them, and the same aqua lines were found there, but shaped in a ring-styled pattern. But what Harry and Ron were most amazed of was soon to come, as Rika and her new company landed near them, glancing at Kevin and Cirucci Sanderwicci. "Are you two hurt?" she asked, looking over at Ron who was staggering as he tried to walk. "Apparently one of you are." "R-Rika!" Harry stammered. "Y-You've changed!" "I know." Rika said with a witty tone. "But now, let us not focus on the changes here. If I have thought correctly - which I presume I have - the changes in our line-up will be... slightly decorated and organized. So we just have to take the changes here as a secondary opinion. Because... from now on... I am the Leader of The NEW Union of Justice!" she spoke with a voice so firm and determined that every previous signs of the "old" Rika were gone completely, and were now replaced by a true leader's spirit and personality. She turned to Ron, seeing he was severely hurt. "Hmm... not good. Internal damages are massive, his rib cage is almost shattered completely. A true phenomenon that he wasn't damaged by punctured organs as well, though it seems as he is internally bleeding as well. Trunks..." the violet-haired young man turned his head to Rika slightly, nodding to show he heard her request. "Do you have any Senzu Beans on you since you came from the Future?" "I only got one left." the young man - apparently named "Trunks" - replied in a slow tone. "Good. Use it to heal Ronald Weasley over there." Rika said, pointing towards Ron, who gasped as Rika called him his full name after what seemed like an eternity. Trunks twitched slightly, possibly showing a sign of restraining himself from protesting. "What was that, Trunks?" "But... Lady Rika..." Trunks said, as Harry lifted his left eyebrow as he entitled Rika as "Lady". "This is the only Senzu Bean I have left. I cannot waste it on..." "You won't." Rika said to calm Trunks down. "You won't waste it. You will use it to heal Ronald over there, whether you like it or not. So... go ahead." she waved her finger at Ron, as Trunks frowned a bit seriously and flew up in mid-air, levitating over to Ron, and landed near him. Ron was a bit surprised at this. "D-Did you just fly?!" he managed, before coughing up some blood. Trunks began searching his pockets while nodding at Ron's question. "Yeah, I'm a Half-Blood Saiyan, so I inherit some of the Saiyan's powers. One of them is flying." he said, and then gave Ron a small, green bean. "Eat it. You'll feel better." he explained. Ron hesitated, but then took the bean and ate it. He crunched on it for awhile before swallowing it. And as if it worked like magic, in an instant, Ron felt how his body had healed back to perfect state. "W-What the...?!" he managed to gasp, as he examined his body, looking new and fresh. He touched his chest, and found that no bones were broken in it. His arms were in good shape as well, and he didn't feel like coughing up blood. "Cool." he smirked, which made Trunks roll his eyes a bit and go back to Rika, as she was overlooking the fight they had on their hands. "Uryū Ishida." Rika said, and Uryū nodded at her. "Take care of the Arrancar. You two seem to be related to each other somehow." Uryū flinched a bit at this. "W-What?! We're not "related" in any way! She was just an Arrancar I defeated while we tried to save Orihime!" he protested. Rika just glanced at him, and he remained quiet. "Trunks, Silver..." Trunks and the hedgehog turned to her. "Silver follow me and Renamon as we try and take down the Regulant. Trunks, assist Uryū against the Arrancar." "Got it." Trunks replied, and held his right hand around the sword handle in a tight grasp, as Uryū raised his spider-web bow. Cirucci merely laughed at this. "Hah! So you two think you can beat me!" she smirked, and raised her yo-yo Zanpakutõ. "This is gonna be FUN!" ~~~~~~~~~~ "So, let me ask you something, "Kevin"..." Rika said, as Kevin had introduced himself and all. "Why are you Regulants so obsessed over covering this world and the next in darkness? Is it your devilish desires... or just the orders of your main man?" "Can't exactly answer that, young lady." Kev shrugged. "All I know is that Broken wants this world to perish in darkness. And it's a pity, really..." he sighed a bit. "Why?" inquired Rika, raising an eyebrow. "Because it would be a world without happiness and hope." Kev said simply. "It would be blank, and utterly disappointing. Like something ripped out of an old photograph. Sure, the images give you hope, but when you see its true colors... the sad truth hits you in the gut. It's a shame that this world must become what our world is. Black and gloomy... no children laughing and playing around... not even a single flower grazing on the fields..." "I see." Rika said, and held up her staff. "Nonetheless, you Regulants have broken the peace in this world, and so you have to pay the price. You will pay with your life. For what you will do to this world. For what your teammate did to Ben..." "Ben?" Kev asked. "Oh, you mean that guy that Quint struck down?" Rika nodded at this, and Kev sighed. "Sorry for your loss." "Sorry? How can you - a fellow Regulant - say you are sorry?" Rika asked. "I am not like other Regulants." Kev said. "All I wanted when I joined was to make Fred feel better about himself. He's been sorta miserable sometimes, and I try and cheer him up, but... his darkness seems to consume him... it's sad, really." Rika flinched a bit at the word "Fred", and looked seriously at Kev. "Fred? Are you meaning Fredrik?" she asked. "Hm? Oh, yeah. I see you met him." Kev said. "I don't know about you, but... the darkness that has him... it seems to evolve..." "Evolve?" asked Rika. She was not the one to talk to her enemies, but Kev didn't seem to act like one now. "Yeah. It feels as if all my happiness seeps away when I am near him. Didn't you feel it? And he keeps on rambling about "easing the pain of their hearts" when he talks about your group. He is beginning to grow mad, I say..." Rika was silent now. "Ease the pain of their hearts"? What did Kev mean by this? But now - when she thought about it - she remembered how the prescence of the Regulant had made her feel like she was drowning in a pit of despair and sorrow, and how she almost accepted his offer to be relieved from her sorrow. "Anyhow, another reason that I don't want this world to become as bleak as ours..." Kev continued, and Rika focused on him again. "Is because... weeeeeeeell, how to put this... you look hot." "W-What?!" Rika had a vein in her forehead now. "What the hell was that for?!" "I'm just saying." Kev analyzed. "You are a beautiful girl, ya know? I mean, look at you! You got curves on JUST the right spots, your hair is just gorgeous, and is that a pair of Cs I see there?" "They're actually C+!" Rika snapped, being a bit grossed at the perverted remark from the Regulant. Kev merely chuckled at this. "Sorry, my bad then." he apologized. "Anyhow, I could see myself with someone like you someday... I don't know how, but maybe someday... I can remove the Regulants' shackles from me, and be free. Anyhow, I guess I'll see ya around!" a portal opened behind him. "See ya!" he disappeared into it, and the portal closed. Rika seemed a bit confused, but in the same time, flattered. To think that the Regulants actually cared for the other worlds. Well, one of them, anyway. Silver seemed a bit concerned for Rika, and went up to her. "Lady Rika? What is the matter?" he asked. Rika looked down on him, and smiled a bit. "Well... even the most darkest of beings seem to have a heart." she merely said. ~~~~~~~~~~ "You're going down!" Cirucci yelled, throwing her yo-yo at Trunks and Uryū, but they merely dodged the attack. Trunks pulled his sword and charged at the female Arrancar, preparing to slice her. "Nah-ah! Not happening!" she cackled sadistically, and her yo-yo retracted itself, forcing Trunks to fly upwards to dodge an attack from the behind. Uryū raised his bow, and pulled the string backwards. "Eat this!" he stated, and as he released the bow string, a volley on almost a thousand arrows flew straight towards Cirucci. She seemed a bit shocked, and dodged by using Sónido to move upwards. "Damn you! You've improved, Quincy! I give you that!" she admitted, but then turned around to see a foot connect to her face as she was send tumbling towards the ground. Trunks had kicked her face, and she was now in a crater in the ground. "Nice shot, Ishida!" he remarked, as he and Uryū landed a bit away from the crater. He smirked a bit at the young Quincy. "You're pretty skilled." "Thanks, but I don't think this is over." Uryū replied, as he felt Cirucci's Reiatsu flare up. She was pissed off like hell now. First by being trapped in ice by a dirty sneak attack, and then kicked straight in her beautiful face. They had to pay. She was releasing her Zanpakutõ. "Tear off! GOLONDRINA!" she was encased in a violet light of Reiatsu, and a wind storm gusted up around her as Uryū and Trunks were forced back a bit. As the gust winds were calmed, Cirucci's new form was revealed. Cirucci had sprouted large wings with ten moon-shaped blades in place of feathers, and an elongated "beak" on her mask. On her shoulders appeared armour with a similar shape to her weapon prior to her release. Her arms had also grown longer with large claws. "I never thought I had to release my Zanpakutõ against you again, Uryū Ishida. But now that you and that boy has pissed me off like this... you're finished! I, Arrancar Nr. 105; Cirucci Sanderwicci, will shred you to pieces!" she raised one of her elongated arms up, and pointed to the Half-Blood Saiyan and Quincy duo. "But the question is; WHO SHALL I CUT UP FIRST?!" "W-What is that?!" Trunks said, holding his blade in a firm grasp. "It's her Resurreccíon." Uryū stated. "Arrancars are Hollows who have had their masks ripped off in hopes of gaining a human form, and thus, Arrancars are born. They are all numbered, and the ten largest numbers have been entitled the Espada. Though Cirucci has been demoted to a Pivardon Espada, hence her three-digit number. She used to be an Espada, so she can still be quite a match. See those feather-blades?" he pointed to her moon-shaped blades, which seemed to vibrate and emitt a sound similar to a drill. "They vibrate at a rate of roughly 1,110,000-1,130,000 times per second, which increases her offensive and defensive capabilities. She can easily deflect even my arrows, and they can almost slice through anything." "You seem to know alot about her." Trunks said as he raised his sword. "But I think it's time I showed both you and her... the power of a Saiyan!" he sheathed his sword, and took three steps forward. "I see you've become more powerful, Cirucci Sanderwicci. I can sense your Ki, and let me admit, it is shockingly massive. Though, another admittation, I've been holding back. Let me show you my TRUE powers!" at this, he crossed his arms over his chest, and he began to charge his Ki. The ground around him shook violently, and small pebbles rose into the air of the mere power. A golden aura began to form around his body, though it merely flickered on and off a few times. His eyes were also flickering between blue and green-blue in color, and his hair was moving slightly as it was changing from purple to blonde. Finally, he let out a scream, and lashed out his arms as he was surrounded by a golden aura around his body, his hair spiked up and changed to a blonde tune, and his eyes were flaring with his own will to fight, and a topaz green color. Sparks of electricity were sometimes tracing his body before vanishing with a sizzling noise. He was now a Super Saiyan. "Take a good look, Cirucci." he stated, and grabbed his sword again. "This is my true form. This is my Super Saiyan form. It is over for you now." "Heh, so your hair changed, so what? Big deal!" Circucci mocked Trunks, as she lashed her wing at him, and sent off one of the blades at him. Trunks took immediate action, and flew off towards it, and as he was almost in front of it, he vanished briefly only to reappear behind the blade, as a slashing sound was heard. The blade was split in half. "W-What?!" Cirucci exclaimed, only to find Trunks in front of her. She blocked the attack with her other wing, and Trunks' sword clashed with her blades, and he had to force every muscle in his arm to keep the sword clashing against the blades. Ugh! He was not joking! These blades vibrate really quickly! If I can't get off soon, it's gonna shake my sword apart! he thought, and made yet another quick move, lashing his sword over two of the blades and cut them apart. Cirucci was both enraged and scared of the Saiyan's powers. "N-NO!!! YOU CAN'T BEAT ME!! I'M CIRUCCI SANDERWICCI! YOU CAN'T BEAT M-..." a slashing noise was heard, and what looked like a golden glaive was seen slicing up Cirucci's body, from her left leg up to her right shoulder. The wielder of this weapon was Rika, her Moon Priestess clothings and tattoos shining in the moonlight of the nightfall. Blood instantly began to flow wildly from the Pivardon Espada's body, and gushed out on the grassy dirt and over Rika's clothing. Cirucci made a wheezing, final breath, where she uttered the word, "D-Daaamn iiit..." before falling down to the ground, crashing upon impact. The person landing in front of her body was Rika Nonaka, which surprised both Harry and Ron, seeing her new form. "Poor creature." she sighed, and held her blade at Cirucci's throat. She seemed to still be alive after all, as she coughed up blood and glared at Rika with fury in her eyes. "Y-You... b-B!TCH!" she snarled, but Rika kept her cold stare at her face. "You thought you could win by using your released form's power, and yet you knew the race was dead even in your un-released form. You kept on fighting for your life, yet it was for naught. The least you can do now..." Rika raised her glaive. "Is to die in peace." she brought it down towards Cirucci's head, who was screaming and begging in despair until the blade hit her throat, and she was beheaded. Rika's Moon Priestess outfit disappeared, along with her glaive, and her staff reduced to normal size. "W-Wha... what was tha-..." Harry began stammering, but Rika shook her head. "Now is not the time, Harry Potter." she said. "Now, we must go inside. Trunks and Silver has urgent news... from the Future."

.:Abarai Renji:. Posted January 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 And I always keep my promises! Chapter 13 up now! [spoiler=Chapter 13 – A Dark Future][align=center]Chapter 13 – A Dark Future As everyone had settled after the fight with the Regulant and Cirucci Sanderwicci, and got to know Trunks and Silver a bit better, they all gathered in the living room area on the bottom floor, just sitting in the many couches and having a rather small but interesting conversation. The windows and roof had both been repaired by Rika, who in the same time showed Harry and Ron more of her Moon Priestess powers by simply replacing the parts that had been demolished by parts of pure silver, and also encased the entire house in a decorative silver color. "So, Trunks?" asked Harry, as he and Ron were eating a piece of fruit cake each. "What is a Saiyan, really?" "It's a bit hard to explain." Trunks stated simply, sipping on a mug of coffee. "Saiyans are the strongest and proudest of all alien races in the galaxy, but we're a nearly extinct race since the tyrant overlord Frieza destroyed our home planet; Planet Vegeta. However, some Saiyans survived, including my father Vegeta and his rival and friend Goku. I, however, am a Half-Blood Saiyan, since my father is a Saiyan, and my mother is a human named Bulma. But I still have a few powers of the Saiyans, such as flying and the Super Saiyan Form." "Super... Saiyan?" inquired Uryū, as he didn't eat anything, but simply laid back on the couch he sat on. "Was that the form you used when fighting Cirucci?" "Correct." Trunks replied with a nod. "A Super Saiyan's power is increased by fifty times, and it is said to be the most unstoppable warrior in the universe, according to Saiyan records. But there's more to it than just a Super Saiyan. There's other forms as well, such as the Ascended Super Saiyan, and Ultra Saiyan. I have achieved both forms, but I cannot show you now, as the power would possibly shake this house apart." Ron gulped a bit at this, but Trunks just chuckled as he smiled at Ron. "Hey, be glad I'm on your side!" "Yeah, I am, but..." Ron said, a bit scared. "You sound so much more powerful than any of us!" "Heh, guess I am, maybe." Trunks chuckled and put down his coffee mug on the sofa table. "Now, perhaps it is time that we discuss why we came here, right Silver?" he said, turning his attention to the ivory hedgehog, who nodded slightly and put down a tea cup he's been drinking from. "As you can see, we're here to join your group of heroes, but not only to defeat these Regulants, as you call them." Silver said, looking at the Union members. "But to correct our futures." "Futures? So, that means... you guys are from the future?" Ron said astonished. Trunks and Silver nodded. "We're indeed from the future." Trunks answered. "And it's a tragedy. Our worlds have been shattered by a great force called just the Regulants, and all our friends were slaughtered when they tried to resist them. We ourselves finally stood our ground against them, but we were defeated easily, forced to run away. We figured that if we would return to the past, before the Regulants got to power, we could correct the timeline in our future, and prevent this disaster." "Indeed. We need to correct our futures, or entire worlds, or maybe galaxies could be at stake!" Silver continued. "We've known the Regulants are powerful, but if we can take them down now, when they are weaker, then perhaps we can make peace in our futures." "So, what you are inquiring is that you are going to join us just to create a safer future for you two?" Renamon demanded. "That is a bit selfish, you know. You just join us to make things better for you two, and don't think about us at all, is that it?" Trunks shook his head at this. "No, Renamon. That is not it. We want to safeguard the present time as well, for then, the events in the future will never occur, and both we and you all will be safe." he said, and stood up from his couch. "Now, me and Silver will give you the situation in each of our worlds..." ~~~~~Flashback~~~~~ Outside of West City, two young men stood and watched out over the endless gaze that was the world they knew. One of them were dressed in a simple white T-shirt with blue sleeves, and with the Capsule Corp. Logo on the chest, and a pair of grey pants. His short, purple hair reached to the very tip of his ears, and his blue eyes had a mixture of cheerfulness and concern in them. The other one was taller and more muscular than the other, being dressed in an orange suit with a blue undershirt and blue boots with golden laces. His black messy hair had a small frill that extended out over his right side, and he had a scar over his left cheek, right under one of his black eyes. His left arm was missing, suggesting it had been ripped or blasted off. "Gohan, what if the Androids show up again?" the shorter one asked. "They might try and destroy this city again Gohan, and with one of your arms gone, it will be harder to defend ourselves!" the taller one - probably the one called Gohan - just smiled at this, and patted the shorter one's head with his only right arm. "Don't worry Trunks. I can still fight, so there's no chance the Androids will take us off guard again like last time." he said in a soft tone, as he returned his gaze over the city. "We must stop this madness, Trunks. At all costs. Got it?" he turned to Trunks again, who nodded briefly and smiled. "Yeah, I'll protect the city, and my mother, at all costs!" he said confidently. Gohan was just about to admire the Half-Blood Saiyan's determination of battling evil, when a sudden explosion shook the very earth itself, and they saw in dread as West City was under attack. "Trunks! Get away from here!" Gohan demanded. "No! I can fight!" Trunks said in a confident tone, but Gohan shook his head. He could feel the opponent's Ki all from the outlook they stood upon, and it was too strong to be from the Androids. It was something else. Made of... pure evil. "No, Trunks." Gohan said, as he rose up and forced himself into his Super Saiyan form, a golden aura forming around him as his hair turned blonde and his eyes becoming turquoise in color. "This is not the Androids. What it is, I can't tell, but I do know one thing for certain; it is strong. Really strong. You stay out of this, and let me handle the fight, ok?" Trunks knew that his mentor was always right, but he also wanted to prove that he was to good use for something, and not just stand at the sidelines. "No Gohan! I want to fight too!" Trunks demanded, and this time, he didn't even bother to listen before he ran off to the cliff edge, jumped off it, and encased his body in a blue-ish Ki aura as he flew off. Gohan flared up a golden aura before pursuing him. "TRUNKS, NO! YOU GET BACK HERE RIGHT THIS INSTANT!" he yelled after him, but before he knew it, he was chasing him to West City. He was racing after Trunks through the metropolic city, dodging street lights and skyscrapers as he progressed further into the city. He soon caught up with Trunks, but before he managed to grab onto his ankle, a fiery explosion detonated the side of a nearby building, and sent Trunks and Gohan into an opposite wall, where they crashed into the building. "Ack! W-What the hell was that?" Trunks managed, as he and Gohan got out of the building to see the blasted building burn in flames. "I don't know, but whoever did it was powerful." said Gohan, his eyes fixed on the building. Whoever had made that attack was not an Android, that was for sure. Something more powerful had done it, but who? Or what? "Be cautious, Gohan. They may be near." Trunks nodded, and focused his senses to see, hear or sense whoever or whatever had attacked them. ”Don't think so, b!tches." a voice said, before Trunks felt a powerful fist in his face, and he was smashed towards a railroad pillar, as it broke in half as he crashed into it. Gohan looked in dread as Trunks crashed into it. "TRUNKS!" he yelled, and was about to fly over to him, but the same fist now appeared in front of him, as he was forced to deflect it with his one hand. Another fist appeared near him, but Gohan skillfully deflected it with his right leg as he also took the chance to kick his attacker's arm. But the attacker was quicker, and before Gohan had time to retaliate, he was kicked in the face as well, before he crashed into the ground below. He groaned as he got up, only to see a kid hover above his position. "My, my... what a bothersome youngster you are." he sighed. He was dressed in a white and black-trimmed outfit, tanned skin, and white hair over his red eyes. "You know, I thought I'd actually had to fight you two, but man, was I proven wrong. I think this is a waste of time now." Gohan managed to get out from the rubble, and looked up at his opponent. He was indeed strong, but he surely had not fought Saiyans before, as Gohan saw he was slightly surprised that he got up again. "Y-You shut up!" Gohan said, as he began focusing his Ki, and placed his middle and index finger on his forehead. His fingers began to crackle with energy, and soon, a glowing yellow energy was seen at his fingertips. He aimed it at his enemy. "Makankōsappō!" In this, a pair of twin beams fired from his fingers, one of them rushing straight forward and the other spiraling around the first. The attack was making its way towards the enemy, but he just shrugged and bashed it away with his bare backhand, making it penetrate a building and exploding it. Gohan was startled. "W-What?! What is that power?" "Man, you really put up an effort there..." the enemy sighed. "Too bad I have to kill ya now. Oh, and by the way; name's Quint." with this, Quint charged down at Gohan, and knee smashed his gut, which made Gohan gag and cough up blood before being smacked away and hitting a wall. Quint was charging up a red sphere in his palm, and as he aimed it forward, he released a Cero attack, which hit Gohan and annihilated him and the building he had crashed into. As the dust from the debree settled, Gohan's body was nowhere to be seen, and this made Quint smirk a bit. "Heh... dead and gone." with this, Quint flew off, and did not even listen to Trunks' endless shouting of revenge for his dead mentor and friend. ~End Flashback~ Trunks clutched his fists in surpressed rage and sorrow, while he tried not to force out any tears. The rage he had felt for the Regulants after the crime they committed, and the sorrow of the loss of Gohan, his trusted mentor and friend. Rika understood how he felt, and went up to him, and held his shoulder to show her compassion. She nodded softly at her, and he calmed down. "As you now hear, the Regulants have done great destruction in my future, which is why it is important for me to undo these events, and safeguard my time." he said while holding his chest. Everyone nodded in agreement, and decided that Trunks would have his just revenge. They then turned to Silver, who began to share his version of the story... ~Flashback~ In the midst of a destroyed Crisis City, Silver was standing alone on top of a massive skyscraper, looking down on the burning ground and then up at the blood red skies. This was the carnage that Iblis had caused, and he was the only one that could make it right. But in this moment, he could not help but to feel anything but hopeless. He had not found a way to properly seal away the Flames of Disaster, but he had to for the sake of what was left of the Earth. Somehow, the only one that could give him strenght enough to finght on was Blaze; which he saw as a big sister for himself sometimes, and she saw him as a little brother. As he fantazised for awhile, he noticed her come up the building, rushing along its wall and then leaping up near him, landing in front of him. She was wearing her usual attire; white gloves with fuzzy cuffs, red/white striped high heels with fuzzy linings, white tights, a purple coat lined with gold around her neck and magneta at the bottom, and her usual red hairband around her ponytail. "Blaze, you're finally back!" Silver said happily, and went up to Blaze, stroking her head a bit. "How are ya?" But Blaze merely shrugged off Silver's hand. "Don't start being all cuddly at the moment, Silver. Not in the mood." Blaze sighed, and looked back at Silver. "Don't you realize the situation we are in?" "I do very well realize it, Blaze." Silver said, nodding at Blaze. "But I just don't want to think about it. It will only make me negative. And I will need to stay positive on a safe outcome and a bright future for this." Blaze sighed again, and turned away from Silver. "Blaze, what is wrong? Did I say something wrong?" Blaze just shook her head, turning back to the childish hero of Crisis City. She actually thought he was childish, judging on the way he always stayed positive and kept fighting even in the darkest of times. She just brushed some bangs out of her face, looking up at his face. "When will you grow up..." she said in a firm tone, and was about to walk off, when suddenly magma began to erupt from the ground and move up to the building where Silver and Blaze were. "Silver! It's him!" said Blaze, as the lava suddenly moved up into the air, forming something that would be similar to a gigantic lava Minotaur, though its horns were only part of a helmet made of a rock material, and its arms were long and had four fingers on each hand. It roared a deafening roar, shattering windows and sending debree flying in all directions. "Iblis!" Silver exclaimed, as he stood up and faced the wall of magma and lava in front of him. "You have made the people of the Earth suffer for a long time, but no more! I will stop you and your cursed Flames of Disaster!" his body began glowing in the same aqua marine tint as that of his palm markings, and several chunks of rock began to levitate around him. He lashed his hand out, and one of the rocks were sent towards the beast. Iblis merely swinged his right arm, shattering the rock upon impact. But a second rock was sent towards him, and he was hit in the right eye hole of his stone mask. It bellowed in agony and pain as its left hand smashed down near the building Silver stood upon, and tore down half of it in one swipe. "Dammit, Silver! Don't make it destroy our foot hold!" snarled Blaze, being a bit annoyed that Silver had agitated Iblis into an attack. "We need to stay focused! See the damage you did to him when you hit his eye? That must be his weak spots. The eyes." Silver nodded, as his aqua marine aura began to flare up again, and he slowly began to levitate about fourteen inches from the roof top, with rocks and wall pieces levitating near him. "Now, taste this, Iblis!" he shouted, and threw a massive barrage of the debree pieces towards Iblis. Iblis seemed as he was about to choke on something, then he spat out a barrage of lava balls towards Silver's assault attack. The debree splinters and lava projectiles hit each other in hailstorms, but some of the debree pieces made its way to their target, and hit Iblis directly on his mask, throwing him back a bit while holding his exposed, serpent-like head in agony. Silver smirked, and held a large chunk of the building above him, using the very limit of his Psychokinetic abilities to hold it up. "This is the end, Flames of Disaster!" he announced as he was about to give the finishing blow, but as he was about to fire off the rock piece, something decapitated Iblis' head. "W-What?!" Silver focused his eyes, and finally saw who had decapitated the giant lava beast. "It was a boy, around 19-20 years. He was wielding a blade made of pure light, as it gleamed in an azure tint, and a blade of darkness, its color being a gloomy hue of wisteria purple. He had marking on his front, arms and back, the back mark resembling a scale. He disappeared briefly, before appearing near Silver. "Justice must be upheld." he said simply, before he kicked Silver into a building several meters away, as the building wall was shattered when Silver made impact to it. He gagged up blood as his back took the hit, and he was unable to move for the moment as paralysis from the shock had numbed his body. He saw how the boy now turned to Blaze, walking slowly towards her. "You too will he executed... for the price of balance." "Hey, who the hell are you?! Stay off of me, freak!" Blaze growled, as her palms summoned crimson flames and sent them in sparks towards the young man, but he merely shrugged them off as he walked towards Blaze. Blaze kept on firing her fire bolts, but the boy simply walked on, as if the fire was mere mosquito bites. Finally, he reached Blaze, and grabbed a vicegrip around her throat with one had, the blade around that hand simply evaporating. He had made the Dark Blade disappear, and the Light Blade was still brandished in his right hand. She was gargling and gasping for air. "Lowlife peace-disturbers like you do not deserve to breathe." the man said, aiming his Light Blade at her throat through a slit between his fingers. "You and your friend think that you can take justice in your own hands, but I think not. In this time... in this universe... I am the sole Ruler of Justice. I am the Judgement, the Hammer that fall on the infidels. You are one of such infidels... farewell." and with this, the sorrowful screamings of Silver crying for Blaze mixed with the staining of blood were heard as the blade had pierced Blaze's throat, ending her life in a silent, yet deadly thrust of a blade. ~End Flashback~ Silver was too clutching his fists in repressed anger and sorrow as he remembered how he lost his only friend and suggestive sister in front of him. Rika nodded as both of them finished, and turned to the Union. "Dear Union of Justice..." she announced. "You hear what will happen if we do not stop these Regulants, and you know that we can do it. There's no time to argue or discuss anything at this point, as we will immidiently think of a way to enter thei1r home dimension. If one of us will be killed on the way, then so be it. We will die with honor and courage in our hearts, knowing that we died for a good cause. We are - and will forever be - The Union of Justice!" she raised her fist, and the others cheered on her. She smiled. She was doing the right thing, as Mileena had asked of her a long time ago; She was leading the Union of Justice. Just as they were about to plan, a knocking on the door was heard. Uryū was sent to answer the knock, and he gasped as he saw who it was. Outside stood one of the Shinigami that had been attacking them earlier, but just been on the sideline; Kurosaki Ichigo. He was breathing like he had been running for miles, and he looked dead serious in his eyes. "I-Ichigo?!" Uryū demanded. "What is it?" Ichigo managed to catch his breath for awhile, then stood up straight. "U-Uryū..." he managed to start, but then he was interrupted as the Union were behind Uryū, ready to attack. "Hold it! I am not an enemy!" Ichigo said frantically, and Rika called off the attack. "Look, I know you may have seen me when the others were attacking your group, but that was not us! You have been set up." "Set up? How, Ichigo?" Uryū demanded. Ichigo shook his head. "As if I would know why, Captain Kurotsuchi was the one who made the analysis." said Ichigo. "Anyways, I was asked by said Captain that I'd go and get you and your group, Rika Nonaka. We need your... expertise, he said." Rika was quite confused, but nodded slowly. "Alright then." she said, and turned to her teammates. "Let's move out!" To be continued...[/align] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.:Abarai Renji:. Posted February 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 [spoiler=Chapter 14 - Truly Evil Schemes][align=center]Chapter 14 - Truly Evil Schemes "Who could have set us up?" wondered Rika, as she and the rest of her group made their best efforts to keep up with Uryu and Ichigo, as they were leaping ahead of them. It was not like she was the only one wondering this, as many of the Union members seemed to believe the same thing. Uryu and Ichigo then stopped to wait in the Union. "So, Ishida." Ichigo then asked. "What made you join them?" Uryu sighed before he straightened his glasses. "When you and the other Shinigami appeared... I thought you had gone nuts or something." he explained, looking at Ichigo. "I thought they were the real deal, but now I am shaken. I don't know who to trust, really." "Hey..." Ichigo held Uryu's shoulder with one hand. "You can trust me. I am the real deal." Uryu nodded slightly, removing Ichigo's hand from his shoulder. "I know that, Ichigo. Though I wonder what those things I saw were then." he said, looking up towards what seemed to be a small camp. The tents were white, and had identical Japanese Symbols on them, resembling a pointy square, being tilted as it stood on one of its corners. "That is the Gotei Camp in this dimension?" he asked. "Yeah. Byakuya and the others are there now." Ichigo said, just as the Union catched up to them. "Okay now, because this is the first time..." at this, there were a few grunts from Harry and Ron, "...you meet real Shinigami, I advise that you just follow my and Ishida's lead. Got it?" Rika nodded firmly. "Alright then, Ichigo Kurosaki. Introduce us to them." she said. Ichigo nodded, and with this, he leaped into the camp with Uryu and the Union following him. The first ones they laid eyes upon were of course the ones they had met; Renji Abarai, Yumichika Ayasegawa, Ikkaku Madarame and Hitsugaya Toshiro. "Oh my, what is it for some kind of loath you drag to us now, Substitute Shinigami?" Yumichika ridiculed Ichigo, looking at the Union with a clear sign of distain in his purple eyes. "Cram it, Yumichika. These are not enemies, they're here to help!" Ichigo said. "By orders of the 12th Division Captain, remember?" "Did someone call for me?" a voice chuckled, as a person emerged from one of the tents. His appearance had a very skeletal look to it with a skull-like visage. His fingernails were blue and, with the exception of the fingernail on his right middle finger, were all short. The one long fingernail was as long as the finger itself. He had golden brown eyes as well, and he wore a white hat with two ends that pointed to his right and a large purple scarf around his neck. His whole body, even his face and hands, had been painted black and white. As the person was revealed, Harry and Ron felt jolts of fear running up their spines. "Please, do not be afraid, it is not like you living beings scare the dead more than we scare you." he smirked a skeletal grin. "Mayuri. So you are in this as well, I see." Ichigo grunted at the sight of the 12th Division Captain, and head of the Research and Development Institute. Mayuri nodded with another chuckle. "Quite indeed, Substitute Shinigami, and I have found this trip quite interesting, thanks for asking." he explained. "Now, we are simply not here for mere trivial needs, of course, as we are examinating a series of events reported from Soul Society. It seems that a large numbers of Arrancars, which we presumed were dead, has returned to life again. And even though it would be highly impossible for that to occur, the Gotei 13 are not taking any chances." he was fingering on a device he had in his right hand, which resembled a remote controller. "Excuse me..." Rika piped in, and the Captain Shinigami turned to her with slight irritation in his face expression. "What is that you are holding?" "Oh, this little trinket is just something I happened to invent once I was studying the backgrounds of the Garganta." Mayuri said as he picked up the device and showed it to the Union. "It is a remote Garganta Device, which would allow me or any other wielder of this device to create a Garganta strong enough to teleport at least three or four persons at once to another location or even another dimension at the moment, as it is still unfinished. The Garganta itself is quite a remarkable phenomenon, as it is actually a tear in the sub-space continuum itself, and allows instant travel to wherever the user desires. Though if the traveller turns wrong, there is a risk that he is trapped inside the Garganta forever." "Interesting." Trunks commented, being kind of a technical genius himself. "We could have use of it to track down the Regulants." "O ho ho! So you too are after those no-good clowns, huh?" chuckled Mayuri. "Well, as it may happen to be, we in the Gotei 13 has managed to gain information from an inside source. The Former 2nd Division Captain; Yoruichi Shihoin." Renamon flinched a bit as she heard Yoruichi's name. She had gotten into their dimension? How? "Seems as when a Regulant by the name Quint Jaeger entered this dimension, he had opened yet another Garganta in order to send the Privadon Espada Cirucci Sanderwicci to your headquarters, and Yoruichi had managed to quickly enter it before it was closed up, and so she was transported to a rather gloomy fortress, which we then realized would be the headquarters of these 'Regulants'." another shiver was brought from Rika this time, but out of rage. She was still mad at Quint for killing Ben Tennyson, and she clutched her fists for herself. In this moment, another Shinigami appeared, and it turned out to be no-one less that Byakuya Kuchiki. "Byakuya!" Ichigo exclaimed, but Byakuya seemed to care less about Ichigo, as he walked up towards the Union, looking at Rika. "So... you are the leader of this 'Union of Justice', correct?" he asked calmly, and Rika nodded. "Yes, Sir." she replied politely, but Byakuya merely shrugged it off. He walked off to a larger tent in the came, signaling her to follow him, and so she did. She looked towards the other Union members. "Stay here, and get to know these Shinigami. They might want to help us." Rika said, before she went into the tent. "Why else would we be here?" snorted Mayuri as Rika was out of sight. "Sightseeing?" ~~~~~~~~~~ Inside Byakuya's tent sat two other Shinigami, both of them being tall in height, but sitting down with their knees crossed at the moment. They were both significantly different; One had grey eyes and wavy brown hair, which was tied in a long ponytail and had long bangs that framed the left side of his face. He wore a Sakkat straw hat, and a pink, flowered ladies Kimono, which he draped across his shoulders and over his captain's uniform. He had thin facial hair around his mouth and on his cheeks. In his ponytail, he had pin-wheel hairpins, and unlike the other Shinigami, he did not wear any Tabi with his sandals. The other one had a somewhat emaciated appearance, giving the image that he was sick. His long, cascading white hair was floating down his back, almost reaching his waist. He wore it parted on the left side with one long piece that fell over his right eye. His eyes were brown in color. He wore the common Shinigami uniform with a long sleeved captain's haori, and a crimson lining. He also wore a narrow white obi in which he secured his Zanpakutõ. "Captain Kyoraku... Captain Ukitake." Byakuya said, as both Captain Shinigami turned to face Byakuya. "I did not receive any info on that you two would be here as well." the one called Kyoraku - the one dressed in the ladies Kimono - simply shrugged and smiled at Byakuya. "Eh, you know how Yama-jii can be, Kuchiki-san." he said in a flamboyant matter, and noticed how Byakuya's eyebrows flinched a bit. Something that the 6th Division Captain really hated was when his name was not used fully. "He ordered the two of us to get here as quick as possible, though I don't really know why, heh. It's just a pair of Arrancars, maybe five or six of 'em. Won't be a big deal." in the meantime, Ukitake smiled a bit as he saw Rika enter, though Rika was a bit disgusted. "Geez, not another perv..." she thought, but Ukitake kept smiling. "Well, look at that." Ukitake finally spoke up, and Rika glanced at him. "Seems as we are having new allies in this battle." he kept smiling as he stood up, but suddenly, he was about to fall down. Rika, however, was quick and leaped over to Ukitake, managing to hold him up. She did this out of courtesy, of course, not anything else. She heard him cough and hold his mouth, but then, she saw a few blood drops fall on her shoulder. Ukitake pushed away Rika gently, as he stood up. "I-I'm fine..." he stuttered, his hand and mouth covered in blood and slime. "Ukitake, you should not be on the field." Byakuya stated matter-of-factly. "Your tuberculosis has grown worse these years. You should get your medicine, at least." Ukitake nodded as he walked off to a Medical Tent near the tent they were in. "That's awful..." Rika managed to say, as Buyakuya turned to look down on her. "I mean, that he has tuberculosis." "Let's focus on the planning now." Byakuya replied, as he went to sit down to face Kyoraku, and Rika sat beside both of them. "Now then, Kyoraku. This is more serious than you think it is. Captain-Commander has detected not only a few Arrancars that have returned, but many at the same time. Possibly around thirteen, fourteen of them. He has suggested we figure out a way to find their base, and thanks to Yoruichi, we have pin-pointed their location. Captain Kurotsuchi has prepared his Garganta Device as well, and it will be operational in a few days or so." "Heh, seems as everything's already planned then." Kyoraku waved his hand dismissively while he looked over at Rika with a slight smirk. "And you are just as gorgeous as Nanao-chan. Too bad she ain't here." Rika blushed a bit, but in the same time kept a firm look on her face, its expression telling Kyoraku to 'back the hell off'. Kyoraku simply chuckled and leaned back in his sitting position. "Well, well... what now then?" "We will wait for the Garganta Device to be completed, of course." Byakuya said, then he heard arguing outside the tent, and sighed. "Let's leave them be. They'll be silent soon enough..." ~~~~~ Outside of the tent, the Union had begun chatting with the other Shinigami the best way they knew; by arguing. Basically, the argument started with Ron mentioning something about Yumichika's hair looking like a 'purple and upside-down turned pot', and of course Yumichika was offended by this vulgar statement, and had slapped Ron across his face, which lead to Harry backing him up and so, the argument started around which of them had the better hair. Near their position, Renamon and Toshiro was observing the argument/fight, and facepalmed at the same time. "My, my... they are more 'childish' than most of the Shinigami tell me..." Toshiro groaned through clenched teeth. "Tell me about it, I have known those meatheads longer than you Shinigami had gotten to know them now." Renamon replied, and looked at Toshiro. In fact, he did look like a kid, at least when it came to height proportions. His white, messy hair was spiked and stood up over his turquoise eyes. His Zanpakutõ was kept in a green sash held to his Captain's haori by a round clip on his chest. "So... who are you?" Renamon then asked. "I'm the 10th Division Captain; Hitsugaya Toshiro." Toshiro replied as he glanced up at Renamon. "Who.. and what are you then?" "I'm a Digimon." Renamon said, and Toshiro cocked his eyebrow a bit as he did not quite understand. "A Digital Monster, made out of data energy. My name is Renamon, if that is simpler." Toshiro nodded. "I see." he said. "So, you are a part of this 'Union', are you?" he then asked. "Correct." Renamon replied. "We are - like you Shinigami - fighting an enemy here, but it's not those Arrancars. It's another, more powerful foe called the Regulants." "So I've heard." Toshiro said with a nod. "These Regulants are said to be the source of the Arrancars' revival, and in that case, they must be powerful." he then stood up straight and began walking off. "So, unless you got anything else to ask of, I will leave to join Captain Kuchiki and Captain Kyoraku for information briefing." Renamon nodded as she stood up as well. "I'm joining in as well. I am Rika's partner, and I should have the rights to be in that tent as well." Renamon demanded. Toshiro looked back at Renamon with a slight hint of worry. He knew that Byakuya was in that tent as well, and he would not allow such intrusions to take place. He sighed before making a slight nod at Renamon, indicating her to follow him. Renamon nodded as she followed inside the tent, seeing Rika, Kyoraku and Byakuya. Byakuya looked at Renamon with a slight disturbance. "Let her be, Byakuya. She is only here because she is the girl's partner." Toshiro explained as he got seated near Kyoraku. Byakuya just nodded, as Renamon sat near Rika, smiling a bit at her. "Ok then, as I was saying..." Byakuya started, when Mayuri also entered the tent, though he was still standing up. "Captain Kurotsuchi has reported to me that the Garganta device is almost finished, although it is only able to teleport at least two or three persons at the moment. which means it will take a while before it's up to its full potential." "Indeed, but I suspect that it won't take long for it to be finished, as I have already figured out a way to fully organize the Garganta construction and upholdment." Mayuri reported. "I'd say that if you give me two or more days, it should be up and running with full capacity." everyone nodded, as they left the tent to calm down their subordenants - both Shinigamis and Union members - and brief them of their situation. "What now, Captain?" Renji asked as Byakuya stepped out of the tent. He was about to say something, when suddenly two figures appeared from nowhere. It was Kevin and Fred, by no mistake, and they were dragging three figures with them. Fred was holding one of them over his back, who was a young man on about one-hundred and sixty-eight centimeters, with dark-blue hair and onyx eyes, the hair hanging down his sides to frame his face. His skin was light and healthy, and he was wearing a sleeveless black shirt. He also wore black pants with a blue cloth mantle hanging from halfway up his stomach to his knees. KEvin was dragging the two others; one of them a kid with a straw hat on his head, raven-black hair, and a scar on his left cheek. He was wearing a red vest and blue shorts, along with sandals on his feet. The other had blond hair which covered the left side of his face, only revealing his right eye, which had a strange curl on his eyebrow. He wore a blue shirt under a black tuxedo outfit, and with black polished shoes on his feet. "You!" Rika said as she saw Kevin. "What are you doing here?!" Kevin smiled as he saw Rika, chuckling as he dropped the man and the kid, as Fred dropped the other one. "Oh, hello there Rika!" Kevin chuckled. "We're just dumping some trash here, on Broken's orders!" "Trash?! How can you call that trash, it's human beings!" demanded Harry, who was immidiently met by an ice-cold glare from Fred, and he backed off. "They are weaker than us, thus, they are trash, and deserves to be treated like trash." Fred said simply, as he turned to Kevin. "Kevin, do not get distracted now, our job here is done for now." "Yeah, yeah, just gimme a sec." Kevin said, as he disappeared out of sight. Rika wondered where he was, but then flinched as she felt someon grab her breasts from behind. Behind her was Kevin, with a pervy grin on his face. "Yeah, hehehe.. they're no boubt C+..." he smirked, and before Rika had time to punch him, he disappeared and reappreared next to Fred again. "Anyways, you're right Fred. Let's go." he said. "WAIT HERE JUST A SECOND!" Rika shouted out, which made the Regulants stop a bit. Rika gathered her breath before she looked at both of them. "Answer this first; What exactly are the Regulants' plans?!" Kevin sighed a bit. "If we have to tell you..." he said and began telling thiem. "Broken is planning to take control of all the dimensions, fill them with negatice energy, and turn all their inhabitants to beings like us. He wants revenge on the people that ignored him and treated him like dirt." Rika was a bit confused. "Isn't that too much for just that?" she asked. "As have I thought, but Broken does not listen." said Kevin. "Anyhow, I will leave these two here, and Fred just dropped the third one, so I guess I'll see you around." he said, as he and Fred vanished again. This made Rika wonder. How could they possibly stop such a powerful foe, if their leader now had all these powers to control negative energy itself? She didn't get to wonder so much before Renamon instantly recognized the one that Fred had been carrying. "T-That's... Sasuke!"

.:Abarai Renji:. Posted March 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 That's ok, hope you notice some differences then. :) Also, I would like to dedicate this post as a thank you for all ideas I have been given - especially from Nexev, Fenrir and Fallen Hero(Via MSN) - though I am also greatly saddened to say that it is time that I get back to my usual style of writing; which is with ideas of my own. This will mean that there will be some major changes in ideas I have had, gotten, or will get, as well as in the Union Member line-up. Although I am not making miraculous resurrections anymore. That is a major mistake I've partially learned to deal with. Some live, some die. That's how it goes. Anyhow, a great thanks for those that have given me ideas. 3+ Reps will be sent your way at once. ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
