Dimensional Jump- Chapter 11: Shocking!
A/N: Hey guys, sorry for the author's note; Thought I'd let ya know that I'll be delaying a lot with writing, since I have '9 months' to spend... If you get my meaning, hint-hint~ :D!
However, I've also started a new fanfiction, it's called 'OPM: Vei Rin'! It's a One Punch Man story! Hope you like it, if you choose to look into it!

Flash stepping over the houses of Katakura, Kisuke kept on Haro's tail and Reicon was easily keeping up. Urahara was right behind Haro whilst Reicon remained far behind them both off to the side in case he was needed. Apparently Metal made sure Kisaki was back at the house, he knew she was outside watching and waiting for them. He told her to stay outside in front of the shop, since she didn't want to listen to Urahara when he told her to stay in."Hahahahahaha, freedom! I'll take back what I've lost! The countless centuries I've lost, due to obeying that woman! It will be taken back!" Haro exclaimed as he flashed stepped next to some innocent civilian on the sidewalk and grabbed the guy by the neck. The man screamed and thrashed about, trying to get free but his attempt failed in the end. Tatsibura opened his mouth, poked out his fangs and just before he could pierce him...Kisuke interrupted him.
"You can gain what you've lost by living a new life with a clean slate. Start where you left off when you and Donieri were still together." Urahara stated with a frown and had his kane pointing towards the vampire. "He's too dangerous to be set free. A mind set like his, it'll be hard to fix him. He's mentality got damaged ever since Kisaki used him but, being set free from her hold all of a sudden...I feel it made him worse." He said in his mind and kept his eyes pinned on yellow diamond pupils.
"Oooooh?~ You mean when her and I were still living at my mansion in the soul society and before my family got killed by abnormal and half breed beings?" He questioned, slits viewing the man as he remained inches from the victim's neck. Mouth partly open in amusement and fangs still exposed, ready to bite down. "I would love to...when I have my dear Gothic Goddess as a wife and standing by my side.~" He chuckled, moved his head away from the whimpering male in his tight grip and kept eyeing Kisuke,
"Tatsibura, she's married to Madarame and has been for two years now. You have to stop your obsession with her, she'll never be yours to claim." Urahara said and glared at Haro, then continued after seeing his slits grow more insane. "If you choose to head back into the soul society now and attempt to kill Madarame, I'm afraid I'll have to step in." He finished, tipped his green and white striped hat up.
"Heee...hehehe...hehehehehehehehehahahahahahaha! AAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA!" He laughed hard, outstretched his arms away from his sides and spun around in a circle with his head held up to the sky. "MY DARLING IS MARRIED, SO I'M TOO LATE?! Such a shame, truly! However if I do go kill Madarame, I'll have to go through 'YOU' first?!" He exclaimed in midst of the insane laughter and lowered his head so that shadow could cast over his face. "I rather like those options...~" He sang in a low, dangerous voice. "First Maiya is no where to be found, turns out both her and my dear Gothic Goddess are in another dimension and my darling is even married! To top it all off, lady Kisaki has disowned me and set me freeeeee!" He laughed, rose his head up high once more but remained standing with his arms out. The cross drill in one hand stayed in his grip throughout all of his antics, not once loosing his grasp. What definitely said that he lost his mind was when Urahara saw one of his eyes twitch.
Kisuke didn't let his guard drop, not even for a second cause he knew how cunning the vampire was. What shocked him, was when he saw the vampire lord twirl in place and slice the innocent victim in half. The man's upper and lower body separated and out came blood, gushing from the middle. Yet the vampire still laughed, spinning around in many directions and sticking his tongue out. Droplets of blood rained and hit his tongue, he was enjoying it... Kisuke's eyes were wide, he just killed an innocent human! He had to act fast, before he went on a slaughter spree! Flash stepping, Urahara swatted out his blade and tried to hit Haro's neck, only for the vampire to block him with the pole of his cross.
"No one...will get in my way...~"Tatsibura said in a dark, malicious tone with insanity mixed in. Gripping his pole, he twirled it downward to smack Urahara's sword down and brought down the cross part of his zanpakuto upon his head.
With ease, Kisuke flash stepped out of the way and kept avoiding each swing Haro would attempt. "I can't let him cut me, he can absorb blood into his zanpakuto from his victims and use it to heal himself or collect it up in the bulb on top of that cross. Best I can do is render him unconscious, if I kill him then that would have a lot of consequences. Either he will come back to life if not properly eliminated or he'll cause another army to arrive. I cannot risk anyone getting turned and controlled by him when he dies. I'm not sure if he even spent any time gathering an army..." He mentally noted as he dodged every swing Haro performed. "How he managed to fight Kaiorin Madarame, Morgus Setsuen and Ikkaku Madarame before hand was because he collected blood over time with each innocent life he drained or turned. So judging by the blood in that bulb, he sucked blood out of someone just recently and was about to do it to that man just now." He added, only to get sliced down the middle and get caught by surprise.
"Heeeheheheheheheee...~ All you could do was dodge. Avoiding my swings would only tire you out.~" Haro sang and giggled, though something caught his eye. What he just stabbed was a dummy that looked similar to his target.
"For someone who's a vampire lord, you sure are easily fooled by simple tricks. Don't get me wrong, you're cunning but you have your cons too." Urahara said from behind the vampire, as he watched the very man turn to face him.
"Oh? Well it's just because I've never seen such a trick before, seems very handy.~" Haro giggled, looked down at him with a risen head and grinned. He was about to speak again, until Reicon had appeared behind him and made him freeze in shock. That grin dropped into a frown, eyes widened and fear was noticeable in is diamond slits. He heard the rattle from his 'Shift' skill, sounding like a snake's rattle echoing and fading in the air. Gradually turning his head around, before he could even get a glimpse of the cyborg, he got hit at the back of his neck and was knocked out. It was like a slow motion scene, him falling sideways, hair flailing with his dark blood red trench coat and loosing grip on his drill. Once he landed on the ground, his light gray and light pink hair masked his face. He was face first into the ground, with his body on his side.
A loud clunk occurred after his cross drill had hit the ground. Reicon's head turned to look at his unconscious form, then peered up at Kisuke with a light nod. "Good job Reicon. Now, we need to get him into confinement. He can't be running loose until we try and fix his mental state, poor guy lost his mind. It was his fault though, his actions will cause him to be behind bars for a long time... He chose to obey Kisaki, to follow her after all these years so now he has consequences." He added, sighed and put a hand on top of his hat. His zanpakuto got sheathed and placed to his side. Seeing Ronin nod and watch the cyborg lift the vampire up, including his drill that got put into one hand, Urahara walked towards his shop's direction.
A few minutes later after they arrived back at the shop, Kisaki was seen standing in front of the doors with a fan flapping before her face. Her single crimson slit widened when she saw Haro on Reicon's shoulder. "You managed to subdue the man, I take it?" Her asking that caused Urahara to smirk and chuckle.
"Yes, he didn't put up much of a fight. The only way he can really fight anyone is if he drains the-" Before he could finish explaining, she did it for him.
"Blood of his victims or turns them by piercing his fangs into their neck, I'm well aware. I've been with him for centuries Kisuke, I know how his zanpakuto works.~" She smiled, darted her eye over to Reicon and winked, before walking back inside the shop.

Over with Madarame, he was out in the training yard with Ayzuko. Both of their zanpakuto were out, Ikkaku had a serious expression and Kanda had an upper lip curled in annoyance. "Alright, no one's around and here in your division, your training grounds are meant to withstand the destruction of your squad's zanpakuto, right?" Ikkaku asked and glared at the boy who arrogantly clicked his tongue in response.
"Yeah, what of it?! I thought you said you'd take me to your squad's training grounds! Can't tell me your training grounds isn't stable like ours!" Kanda shouted and gripped tighter on the hilt of his sword. Both hands on his hilt and holding his blade before him like kendo, Ikkaku chuckled lightly at his reply.
"Damn right ours isn't! Did you forget why squad fourteen even exists? You're division is supposed to be backup in case squad eleven goes down! Since you're the Lieutenant here, you have to train your ass off and get stronger!" Madarame hollered back and trailed his eyes over the boy's attire. He took notice of the sudden changes... The right shihakusho sleeve was off and dangling down his right hip while his left sleeve remained over his left arm. His chest was exposed and so were some abs; On his hands though were black leather, shiny bracers that were shaped like gloves. A thick leather padding on top of his hands and his fingers poked out from beneath them; The end of the gloves stopped in the middle of his forearms. "I noticed you dressed up for the occasion." He added, smirked and saw how the boy just smirked with a cocky attitude.
"Yeah I did, had no choice since movin' around in this robes are almost impossible! With my shikai it is, anyway..." Ayzuko scowled, remained in the kendo position and eyed Madarame.
"Really?~ Then show it to me, right here and now!" Ikkaku demanded and grinned. He was interested in what kind of zanpakuto he had and since it was apocalyptic, he really pondered.
"Fine, it's your funeral!" Kanda chuckled and moved his zanpakuto to the side, taking the stance of a 'combat staff' user. "Strike them down, Inazuma!" He yelled and sneered, allowing his zanpakuto to take shape. It looked like a two bladed staff; One large blade at both ends, electricity sparked between a long metal piece on his black metal Bo and the pole on it was black. All of it was black, the only thing that wasn't were the few electrical lines on the blades, and the electricity sparking between the metal pieces on both blades.
Ikkaku gawked at the thing, it was impressive considering it was twice the size of Ayzuko's height. Grinning, the baldy put his zanpakuto and sheath together then shouted out his shikai command. "Extend, Hozukimaru!" With that, his blade turned into a pole blade. A red piece at the end of his pole and the tip of his blade pointing at the boy. "Come on then, I don't have all day. Let's get this training over with.~" He stated with amusement in his voice and took a stance.
(Play the song: 'illidiance – boiling point' on youtube. It's Ayzuko's battle theme!) Spinning the electric bo blade like a baton and swatting it to the side, he gave a cocky grin. They stood there for a good minute, until they both bolted at each other. Kanda spun in a circle before he got up to Ikkaku and Madarame's blade collided with his own.
When the baldy lifted the other end of his pole, he smashed it into Kanda's pole and sent the boy flying backwards. The boy just flipped backwards and dug his blade into the ground, making him skid to a halt; As if on cue when he managed to stop sliding across the surface, he charged at the man and started spinning his Bo from left to right. Electricity was channeling and coating most of the zanpakuto, with gritted teeth he rose the staff above his head and spun it above him. "RAIU!" He screamed, twirled in place and swatted the blade out to the side of him near the ground.
Seeing this, Ikkaku flash stepped out of the way after gasping and nearly got caught by...a large electrical tempest from the sky. Countless lightning bolts rained from the air and with each collision of the volts, it'd shake the surface a little. Luckily Madarame avoided that or he would've been pounded by bolts of electricity! Just before he could even blink, the boy suddenly appeared before him using flash step but...something was different about it. "Was that a lightning bolt just now?!" He exclaimed in his head, widened his eyes and rose his staff to block an incoming strike from Ayzuko. When the boy did flash step up to him, he disappeared and reappeared with a bolt of lightning in his place. In other words, he just traveled by lightning. "Can his zanpakuto change his flash step?!" He questioned in shock, muscles straining to hold the boy back and watched his expression change from cocky to a sneer.
They both jumped away from each other, only for the boy to flash step again. Ayzuko descended from the sky with his blade ready to drop down on the baldy but got blocked when Ikkaku lifted his staff. Something did occur though, that lightning bolt hit him too after they collided and it shocked the daylights out of the man. Through gritted teeth, Madarame rose his foot and mustered as much strength as he deemed necessary. Kanda had no idea, he didn't see it since he was too busy sneering and focusing on his opponent's upper half. With a harsh thrust, the boy's stomach got kicked and was sent backwards through the air.
"Damn, this kid's got some power that's for sure..." Ikkaku said in his head and lightly panted. It didn't hurt that bad but just feeling the electricity flow through him kind of unnerved him. Widening his eyes in surprise, for just a split second he managed to react in time when he saw Kanda flash step after him. He was pushed back a bit, thankful that he didn't get hit by that lightning bolt from the boy's flash step...
"C'mon, I thought you were 'strong' since you're able to handle that beast of a Captain!" He taunted, grinned and pushed more. Taking this chance, he did an upper cut with the blade near the ground and brushed Madarame's block aside.
That only irked the baldy...he was getting so sick of the boy disrespecting and insulting his wife like that. So deciding to end this, he used his free hand and gripped on to the boy's throat. (Song ends here :D! I know, it was short... u.u ) Ayzuko couldn't move, he was getting choked and his zanpakuto feel from his grip. "She saved your sorry ass from a vampire invasion two years ago! If the soul society lost to those bastards then you wouldn't be here, now would you?! If you actually saw her fight, understood her then you wouldn't be an ass towards her! She's only doing her damn job by keeping you on the training grounds and teaching you what you need to learn! Show a bit more gratitude, hell she could've just let you stay a none ranked soul reaper in her division!" He yelled from anger with narrowed eyes and a scowl present. "This session's over... Next time we fight, you'll be in a lot of pain..." He lowered his head, making shade cover his eyes and got in his face.
The boy's eyes held fear and shock, he never knew that Ikkaku would get like that. He couldn't breath, his zanpakuto reverted back to its normal state and his eyes locked on to the baldy's. "He's dead serious! How the hell did my Captain save the soul society from a 'vampire' invasion?! How is that even possible?! Besides I never knew an invasion came here, we never get told anything in the rukongai!" He exclaimed in his head and felt the man's grip loosen. Apparently when Madarame grabbed his throat a moment ago, he was lifted off his feet a couple inches, because he landed after he let go. Ayzuko reached up to his throat and began rubbing it, as well gagging for air. When he looked up at Ikkaku from a bent over posture, he saw a seething glare and mind you, it looked scary even to him... He heard the badly click his tongue, saw him turn his staff back to its sword and sheath form, and sheathed his blade. That zanpakuto got placed onto his shoulder and he turned his back, now walking away from the boy. "I was never told of some damn invasion! I didn't know you guys went into war against...'vampires' or whatever the hell they're called!" He gritted hit teeth, straightened his posture more and scowled.
Ikkaku looked over his shoulder at the boy and frowned, anger still visible on his features. "MAYBE YOU SHOULD PAY CLOSE ATTENTION NEXT TIME, WHEN STUFF LIKE THAT HAPPENEDS AGAIN! YOU NEED DISCIPLINED AND YOUR CAPTAIN'S JUST RIGHT FOR THE JOB!" He hollered back due to the distance between them two and continued onward, with his attention forward. "Kids..." He mumbled to himself and squinted his eyes at the bubbling rage he had towards the boy.
