SHONEN ALLIANCE

BOOK OF THE SHADOWS

"Ah man, this place sure brings back memories."

"Hey, we lost the others again!"

"Ah don't worry, they'll catch up. You're sure he's here?"

"Yes, I was only able to actually locate two of the worlds after I had the vision that told me the knights were still alive. This is where we'll find him."

"Good, then let's go find my knight." Renee and Flora stood on top of a building… looking down into Karakura town.

A Few Days Earlier

"Alright, your automail looks like it's in good shape," Winry declared sizing up Shantella's left arm, "it should be ready to use in combat, but I'd still go easy on it. I'm still not entirely sure how well it'll hold up under Saiyan level combat."

"Thank you, Winry," Shantella replied pulling back on her coat as Teresa walked in, "well, what's the verdict?"

"It's been just over a year but Flora has managed to locate only two of our knight's worlds. It would seem that not only has Corruption altered their histories, but their location as well."

"The worlds were already beginning to merge into one plane of existence… that might have something to do with it as well," Shantella declared, "I hope it doesn't take this long to locate the others. Which two did we find?"

"We have found…"

….

Present Day

"Ichigo Kurosaki… we're coming for ya!" Renee declared.

EPISODE 1

THE SOUL REAPER CIVIL WAR

Opening Theme: Shojos (Bleach)

Renee and Flora walked calmly through an empty street of Karakura town, hoping to find their separated allies. Since Shantella had suggested that all the sisters trade in their Saiyan armor for less obvious attire, Renee was no wearing a short white tank top with her traditional red shorts while Flora had chosen a blue, v neck shirt and knee length blue pants with a floral hairpin stuck into the left side of her hair.

"Ah man, where the heck did they go?" Renee sighed, "I hope they didn't accidentally go to a different world."

"I don't think so… we all teleported to the world together, we just got separated once we actually got here," Flora replied, "I'm sure they're around here somewhere."

"Man, this'd be a lot easier if I could sense there energy. I wonder what's interfering with my senses," Renee sighed trying desperately to get a lock on any sort of power level. She got her answer as a wave of cold energy washed over the two sisters. Both turned and stared up into the blank eyes… of a massive Hollow!

"What's that thing?" Flora asked calmly.

"A Huge Hollow. Well, that explains why I can't sense anything. With this stupid thing so close, I doubt even Silphia could get an accurate read on anything through its Spiritual Pressure. We'd better get rid of it before it becomes a problem," Renee sighed.

"Can we even fight a hollow? I mean aren't they spiritual beings?" Flora asked.

"We can see it can't we? We're outsiders to this world just like it is. That means we're on even footing!" Renee shouted jumping up and planting a powerful axe kick on top of the Hollow's head, knocking it to the ground, "man, this thing's spiritual pressure is immense, so how is it so weak?"

"Maybe it's… holding back?" Flora suggested though she didn't sound convinced. Suddenly, the hollow and the ground beneath it exploded. When the smoke cleared, the hollow was gone, but in its place stood a rather plump Soul Reaper whose uniform had a purple collar over its shoulders.

"Ah great, who the heck is this guy?" Renee sighed, "another freak?"

"He's dressed like Ichigo… he must be a Soul Reaper," Flora replied. The man turned and faced the two princesses pointing his Zanpakuto at them!

"Alright, are you two with Aizen or with the Soul Society!" the man ordered.

"What?" Renee replied, she obviously had no idea what the man was talking about.

"Don't play dumb with me! Don't you know who I am!" the Soul Reaper shouted angrily.

"No," Flora replied gently.

"Don't care either," Renee declared, nowhere near as gently.

"Why you little… I'm Marechiyo Ōmaeda, lieutenant of second company! You'd better show me some respect!"

"You say that like it's supposed to mean jack to me," Renee replied, obviously getting annoyed with the man, "just get lost already, I don't have time to deal with fat idiots!"

"What! Who're you calling fat!" Omaeda shouted angrily, "I'm just plump you scrawny little… gah!" he coughed as Renee slammed her elbow into his stomach and he slumped to the ground in an unconscious heap.

"Renee, I think you overdid it," Flora protested as the man dropped.

"Well, that's what he gets for pissing me off," Renee retorted, "anyway, I can sense the others now that that Hollow's gone. Let's go."

"What do you think he meant when he asked if we were with Aizen or Soul Society?" Flora wondered.

"How the heck would I know?" Renee asked, scratching the back of her head, "just sounded like a bunch of nonsense to me."

"Maybe it's some weird Soul Reaper code," Flora suggested, "maybe he was trying to verify who we were."

"Well, he definitely verified that I don't like annoying guys who start spouting nonsense," Renee replied as the two vanished from sight. The man watched as they vanished, and struggled to his feet.

"I've got… to tell the captain. Two more… traitors… and they're… strong," he gasped as he passed out once again.

….

Meanwhile, in Soul Society, a more familiar Soul Reaper was desperately running for her life, five other Soul Reapers in pursuit. The Soul Reaper… was Rukia Kuchiki.

"Hado number 4, Byakurai!" Rukia shouted pointing back and firing a powerful bolt of electricity at her pursuers. The surprise attack forced her pursuers to disperse, distracting them and allowing Rukia to escape… or so she thought.

"Bakudo 63, Sajo Sabaku," a familiar voice shouted. Rukia stumbled and fell as her arms were suddenly bound behind her by an unseen force. "You gave us quite a chase, Rukia Kuchiki, but it's over now. Now, you're going to tell us everything you know."

"I won't tell you anything! You who murdered the Head Captain and threw the Soul Society into civil war… Captain Aizen!" Rukia shouted looking hatefully up at her captor, Sosuke Aizen!

"Oh you'll talk. I can promise you that," Aizen replied smiling wickedly.

….

In the world of the living, Ichigo Kurosaki awoke, drenched in a cold sweat. "Uhhh, what's with these dreams?" he wondered aloud standing up and walking to his bedroom window and looking out at the dark town. Try as he might, he could not shake the feeling… that something was wrong.

"Rukia… Kuchiki. Just who the heck is she?" Ichigo sighed rubbing his forehead.

"Did you say Rukia!" an excited voice shouted as his top drawer slammed open, "where is she! Where's my Rukia! Oh Rukia! You finally remembered us!" a small, stuffed lion shouted happily looking frantically around the room.

"Uhhh, not you again," Ichigo sighed walking over to the drawer and shoving the doll back in and slamming it shot, "darn it, Kon, I told you to stay quiet. Who's this Rukia girl, anyway? You know her or something?"

"Wahhhh! Why won't you remember, Ichigo! How could you just forget Rukia!" Kon wailed from inside the desk.

"You can't forget someone you've never met," Ichigo replied, "now shut up. I'm going back to bed."

….

Outside his window, two dark figures stood watching him.

"It seems some of his memories are starting to come back. Unfortunately, they're a bit jumbled right now," one declared, it was a familiar sounding man. Just then, the moon shone out from behind a cloud, revealing the man to be Kisuke Urahara.

"Is there anything we can do to help him?" his partner, a young girl asked.

"There is something, but… I don't think it's very feasible. See, the reason Ichigo came to desire the power that being a Soul Reaper gave him was losing his mother to a hollow," Urahara revealed.

"His mother is… dead? But we saw her?" the girl replied, obviously confused.

"I'm aware. Corruption sure did a number on this world. It's going to be difficult to try to reawaken Kurosaki without accidentally breaking him," Urahara replied, "and with Rukia's memories gone as well, I'm afraid you're the only shot we've got, Senna." The young female Soul Reaper looked up at Urahara with bright amber eyes, a lovely red ribbon tied in her dark purple hair.

"Well, that's what I'm here for," Senna replied smiling happily, "just leave it to me."

"Glad to hear it," Urahara declared, "now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go see a princess." Senna looked at him with a confused look in her eyes as he vanished from sight.

"A Princess?"

….

"Bout time you two decided to catch up. Where were you?" Shantella ordered as Renee and Flora caught up with the rest of the group.

"It wasn't our fault. We had this Hollow we had to deal with, then this annoying Soul Reaper showed up and started asking us all these weird questions," Renee replied in an annoyed tone.

"A Soul Reaper asking weird questions, huh? Let me guess, something to do with whether you're loyal to Aizen or the Soul Society. Well, I can explain that if you like," a voice declared behind Renee and Flora. The group looked over to see Kisuke Urahara standing a short distance away, "well, hello Teresa, you're looking as lovely as ever. It's been quite a while, hasn't it."

"You know this weirdo, Teresa?" Renee asked looking at her older sister.

"Kisuke Urahara, it has indeed been a long time," Teresa replied, smiling.
