Hey guys, sorry for not updating the other story, but I'm starting this one now! If you didn't read the summary, here's a basic run down of what this story will be: and epic mash-up between Bleach, Fairy Tail, Problem Children are Coming from Another World, Aren't they? and K with only the most badass of each (and their respective lolis). Expect this one to be long, as more anime may be added in later. If you have a badass and loli you want to see appear, just post it in a review, and I'll be sure to check it out!
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters or anime that are referenced in this story except for Seth Makarov and Maria.
"Ichigo!"
The orange haired teenager turns his head to see a fimiliar girl dressed in all black land gracefully in front of him. "What's up, Rukia? What brings you to Karakura Town?"
"Captain Zaraki requested that I fetch you immediately. He said it's urgent," Rukia says. She starts opening a Senkaimon with her zanpakuto.
"'Fetch me?' What does Kenpachi want with me?" Ichigo asks.
"I don't know, he didn't give me any details."
"Alright. I bet it's just another fight, anyways. He's probably getting desparate if he sent you all the way out here to get me. I might as well give him what he wants," Ichigo says, following Rukia through the Senkaimon after digesting Kon's soul candy. "Take care of my body for me, and no flirting!"
As the Senkaimon closes up, the two walk through the Dangai Precipice World, catching up with each other. They hadn't had much time to talk after the incident with the Fullbringers that happened just over a week ago.
When they finally get to the Squad 11 barracks, Rukia goes to depart, but Ichigo stops her. "Wait," he says. "If he does want to start a fight, I need a witness to prove that all the damages were because of what he started."
"Fine," she says, rolling her eyes. Captain Ukitake didn't have any dire need for her right away, and if he did, he could jsut send a Hell Butterfly.
The two walk into Captain Kenpachi Zaraki of Squad 11's office, and instantly notice the odd expression on his face. It isn't it's usual boredom or the excitedness he usually has whenever the prospect of a good fight presents itself. No, his expression goes beyond excited; he seems completely ecstatic, and that makes Ichigo and Rukia both gulp audibly.
"Hey there, Ichigo. Glad you could make it," Kenpachi says almost menacingly, though that's just his normal tone of voice.
"What's this all about, Kenpachi? Why'd you summon me here?" Ichigo asks nervously.
Kenpachi waves a letter in Ichigo's direction. "This is for you," he says, letting Ichigo take the envelope. Inside, an invitation addressed to Ichigo reads:
To Mr. Ichigo Kurosaki,
It has come to our attention that you have met the requirements
as stated by the Badass Handbook of Badassery to be invited to
the 8,592 Annual Badass Convention. All participants are required to bring oneloli. The terms of "loli" may be discussed during the Loli Inspection.
We hope that you can make it and that your loli is as cute as can be!
"Kenpachi, is this some kind of joke?" Ichigo asks.
"Not at all, Ichigo. The ABC is the real deal, full of strong opponents from different dimensions. I've been going for as long as I've known Yachiru, because it always promises a good fight or two," Kenpachi says, the bloodlust evident in his eyes. "So, are you in? It's considered a great honor to be accepted. If you don't, you'll look like a coward."
"Wha- Who're you callin' a coward!?" Ichigo asks, pointing his finger accusingly at Kenpachi.
"Then prove that you aren't one and come with me to this year's ABC," Kenpachi says.
After a little bit, Ichigo gives in. "Fine! I'll do it. It's not like there's anything better going on around here anyways. It's only three weeks, right?" he says. "Now I just have to find a 'loli,'" he says thoughtfully. "Hey, Kenpachi, what qualifies as a loli?"
"According to the Badass Handbook of Badassery, a loli is defined as any female who is either young or appears to be young," Kenpachi says. "There's a bunch of different types of them, but I can't remember them all. I bet the runt there by your side would pass," he says, pointing at Rukia.
"Wha- me?" Rukia asks, caught off-guard. "I can't go, my Captain needs me!"
"The sick old man will understand," Kenpachi says. "The ABC is a time honored tradition that surpasses all hostilities and freindships, any duty or lack thereof. He'll be begging you to go when he finds out you've been asked."
Rukia still seems hesitant. "I-I'll have to talk with my Captain about all of this... but if he says yes, I'll go with you," the small Soul Reaper says. "Excuse me, Captain Zaraki," she says, leaving to go ask Ukitake.
...
"Izayoi, you have a letter!" Black Rabbit's cheery voice can be heard in the grassy field, and she sounds full of energy and excitement.
Izayoi sits up in the grass from lazily staring up at the sky. "What's that?"
"It's from the LoB!" Black Rabbit exclaims happily. "They've chosen you as a participant!"
"LoB? Participant in what?" Izayoi asks, intrigued.
"LoB stands for League of Badasses," Leticia, who had been following Black Rabbit, answers.
"League of Badasses? Sounds like a pretentious name. So what am I participating in?" Izayoi asks again.
"Just read the letter!" Black Rabbit says, handing over the letter with the intricate wax seal with the letters "LoB" in it. On each side of the letters were wings made up of knives at the base, gradually elongating upwards into full swords.
Izayoi takes the letter, intrigued. He opens it up and reads it quickly, then laughs. "You know what? This actually soudns kind of fun. If these other participants qualify for the same 'badass' title that I do, there should be plenty of strong guys to pick a fight with there," he says.
"Who will you take as your loli?" Black Rabbit asks. "I'm sure Master Jin wouldn't mind going!"
"Nah," Izayoi says, "he's too busy to just up and go for three weeks. Besides, I have the perfect person in mind," he says, smiling mischieviously.
...
"You know I can't just leave for three weeks, right? As a Floor Master, I have to supervise any and all gift games on this floor," Shiroyasha says, tapping her pipe into the ash box besides her.
"Oh, c'mon, Shiroyasha," Izayoi says in his usual smooth tone. "Black Rabbit's an official refferry, I'm sure nobody would mind if you just let her handle things while we're gone. And besides," he says, leaning in close to whisper in the White Demon's ear, "have you ever heard of an 'oppai loli'?"
Shiroyasha's eyes widen slightly, her mouth curling into a slight smile. "Do you think they'd allow an oppai loli to accompany a badass?"
"They sure do. I found the hand book the invitation talked about, and it said that, under certain conditions, an oppai may also be considered a loli," Izayoi said.
Shiroyasha contemplates a bit. "Fine, I'll go. Black Rabbit owes me one anyways."
...
"Hey, Mikoto, you're invite to the ABC arrived this morning," Izumo Kusanagi says as his king walks into the bar. Anna had been sitting on the couch, quiet as usual, waiting for Mikoto to arrive. "You should be safe to go this time. After all, after the incident with the Colorless King, your Sword of Damocles seems to have started repairing itself."
Mikoto grunts. He had narrowly escaped death that day, and it was only thanks to the members of his clan, of Homra, giving a part of themselves to him in the form of many little, red lights. He looks over at Anna. "You wanna go?"
Anna nods. "I'll go where ever you go, Mikoto," she says.
Mikoto looks back over at Izumo. "While I'm gone, you're in charge," he says, just as Misaki Yata walks in.
"Whaaat? Why is he in charge? Where are you going, Mr. Mikoto?" he whines.
"Stop complaining," Izumo says. "He's doing something important. I'm in charge because I'm more responsible than you."
"Whatever," Yata says, grumbling.
Mikoto walks over to the couch with Anna on it and sits next to her, letting her lay her head in his lap. He leans his head back, closing his eyes and quickly slipping into a nap.
...
Gajeel walks up to the old, torn down looking bar of the Fairy Tail Guild Hall, sits on a stool and leans forwards, putting his elbows up and propping his chin in his hand.
"Hey there, Gajeel," Mirajane says happily. "You've got a letter, it came in this morning."
"What?" Gajeel barely does more than grunt, but Mirajane understands him. "Who's it from?"
"No way," Natsu's voice interrupts as he sees the red wax seal on the envelope. "You got an invitation from the LoB this year too?" he asks excitedly.
"What the heck is LoB?" Gajeel asks, much to Natsu's confusion.
"You mean you don't know what they are?" he asks with a raised eyebrow.
"It's not really that surprising," Happy fails at whispering in Natsu's ear.
"Yeah, I guess you're right," Natsu "whispers" back.
"Hey, I can hear you guys, you know!?" Gajeel says exasperatedly. "Tch, whatever," he says, taking the letter from Mirajane. He opens it and reads it, his eyebrow slowly rising as he does. "Natsu," he says, getting the fire dragon slayer's attention.
"Yeah, what is it?" Natsu asks.
"Does this mean there'll be lots of strong opponents to fight?"
"Oh, you know it," Natsu answers excitedly. "And they're all from different dimensions, so their abilities are nothing like anything you've ever seen before!"
Gajeel smiles mischieviously at that. "Pantherlily, I think this is going to be fun," he says to the small cat sitting next to him.
"Sorry Gajeel, I can't go. I promised Wendy I'd help her on a mission," Pantherlily says, causing Gajeel to look like he's been punched.
"What!? How could you just up and abandon me like that!? I thought we were friends!" he says over dramatically.
"Look, a promise is a promise. You'll just have to go without me."
"But it says I need a loli, and Natsu obviously brings Happy along, so that means you guys count!"
"I'm not going, and that's final," Pantherlily says, hopping off of the stool. "And besides, my true form definitely wouldn't qualify me."
Gajeel slumps his shoulders in defeat. "But this sounded like so much fun..."
"Don't worry, Gajeel. I'm sure Levy would be willing to go," Natsu says, pointing over to the Solid Script user.
Gajeel perks up. "Levy? Would she count?" he asks, hopeful.
"Well sure! She's super small for her age and she doesn't get mad at anyone! That definitely counts!" Natsu replies.
"You know I can hear you over there, right!?" Levy says indignantly.
"Hey, shrimp," Gajeel says, walking over to Levy's table as though she hadn't said anything. "Wanna go somewhere with me for a few weeks?"
Levy blushes slightly at the bluntness of the question. "Wh-where is it?"
"I don't know. Hey, Natsu, where is this place?" He asks across the hall.
"It's in some different dimension," Natsu calls back.
"Why are you asking me?"Levy asks.
"Well, Pantherlily said no, and I need a loli to go with me," Gajeel says, triggering irritation in Levy.
"So you think I'm a loli just because I'm a little small for my age? What are you trying to say, Gajeel?" Levy asks dangerously.
"I-I didn't say anything!" Gajeel says quickly. "Natsu's the one who suggested it!"
"Oh, did he now?" she asks, turning towards the pink haired wizard. However, Natsu's already left, having seen this coming.
"Natsu, you traitor!" Gajeel calls out as Levy's attention turns back to him.
...
"It might have been a little cruel to leave Gajeel back there by himself," Happy says casually.
"Nah, I'm sure Levy'll agree to go," Natsu replies.
"Still, she seemed pretty mad."
"She'll get over it."
"If you say so."
...
A large man with blonde hair sits in his chair, observing the many screens in front of him. His brown eyes survey a multitude of scenes, and a smile breaks through his thick beard.
"Sir?" a small, white haired girl with golden eyes says hesitantly.
"What is it, Maria?" the man asks. He turns to her and smiles kindly.
"Sorry to bother you, but the preparations are complete," the girl says. She doesn't appear to be a child, but rather a small tennager.
"Very well," the man says. He, too, is a teenager, but his build makes him look to be at least 20.
"Did they accept?" Maria asks, looking pointedly at the moniters.
The man pats his knee, motioning for the girl to sit on it. She does so without hesitation, and he turns so that she, too, can see the many people who received invitations.
"It seems as though the newest ones have taken a liking to the idea," the man says.
"And Mikoto Suoh has finally agreed to participate," Maria points out.
"Yes, this should be an interesting ABC indeed."
"Yes, sir."
