A.N. Sorry for both the short chapter and the long wait time. I got distracted with school and then had to rewatch Bleach. However, I hope I will work more on the two stories posted, this one and Return of Pern throughout the summer. No promises though. However, I promise that I will put up another chapter no later than June 1st. If I don't, you have my permission to track me down and make me write. Since this is a short chapter, I think I'll do a little conversations with the characters thing. I've noticed it gets done a lot in Fanfics and I really would like to do it. The characters will be characters from all the stories I've written, including some I didn't publish yet.
Harry Potter and the Digidestined:
Harry: So now that I'm married to Sara and the Digi-worlds are safe, I guess I'll never get to reveal my Bankai… what gives?
Fyrius: Oh… I'll bring you back, don't worry.
Sara: Why did I get a Squirrel Zanpakuto?
Fyrius: Because it's your namesake's favorite animal. If you don't like it, tough!
Kari: So if Harry gets to come back, do I get to fly again?
Fyrius: When I get around to it, most of you will be brought back. All the Valkyrie, the old leaders, and the new ones are guaranteed.
Tai & Davis: So why couldn't I stay the leader! … Hey! Stop copying me…. No you!
Fyrius: Boys, boys this is an easy one. Davis, you were dead for what, 5 books? You had to get replaced. And Tai, you died too.
Tai & Davis are glaring at me…
Hermione: What was going through your mind when you stuck me with Hermes?
Fyrius: I was watching YuGiOh at the time… Sorry.
Fairies of Pern Series
F'rus: Right, no one wants to ask the first question?
Makarov: Aren't you just a character?
F'rus: Not quite. I am actually the author as well.
All the characters are glaring at me now…
L'ssa: Why is there a second book out when the first isn't done yet?
F'rus: I needed to finish that story. I actually have plans to finish "L'fil's Inner Strength" as well as expand more.
F'nor: I know this sounds wrong but who'll replace the Fairy Tailers as Leaders?
F'rus: You're right, that does sound wrong. Well, they won't be replaced.
W'mar: Who's Robert?
F'rus: He is actually based on a real person. Of course I only knew him for a few months but he really does sit next to me in Computer Literacy and he really does ask for my help a lot.
Carla: Why do we have to fight?
F'rus: It gives me a chance to quote Bleach…
Reapers and Alchemists
Edward: When are you going to write some more?
Fyrius: Uh… I kinda forgot…
-Runs away from Ed-
Ichigo: And when are you going to publish our story?
Fyrius: A-fter I write some m-more.
TTSoIK
Ichigo: Ok if there are two of us, how are we going to be combined or are we?
Fyrius: Hmmmm… Good question. Oh I know, I'll pull a Kari and TK on other Ichigo.
Jeremie: So is Ichigo getting his body back?
Zangetsu: It would be nice to have some peace and quiet.
Fyrius: Yes. Ichigo will get his body back. After all, you both are in the sequel.
King: So will I ever get my big Canon part?
Fyrius: Oh shut up… No spoilers! But honestly, I was just thinking about that. I'll probably do that but I don't know.
Fyrius: And that's all the time I feel like giving. I left out a few stories because I abandoned them and I am getting out of breath from being chased by my own characters.
"Yes, it is hard for us to believe as well. Humans become Hollows after they die but you are not dead. Also, unlike those hybrids called Visored, you seem to be both a Soul Reaper and a Hollow, yet in a human body." Harribel continued, choosing her words carefully.
Jeremie thought back to his fight with King. He wanted to take King down but when he looked at the other being, he saw himself, what he would become if he had killed King. He remembered thinking to himself that if he killed that part of himself, he would actually lose himself. At the same time, he was too scared to just give in when suddenly he heard everyone calling out to him, felt their power rushing into him. He gathered it up and did the only thing he could, he embraced the darker being. "I think I know why."
"Pardon?" Harribel asked.
"I think I know why I'm a Hollow/Human/Soul Reaper hybrid." Jeremie sucked in a breath, "While I was trying to gain the power of the spirits that live in my sword, I had to face the Hollow Spirit inside. But no matter his faults, I felt as though killing him would be killing myself. As a result, we both were run through with the other's weapon. But…" Jeremie paused, "But if I really am part Hollow, does that mean I'll start trying to kill everyone around me?"
"Before I became an Arrancar, I was a Vaste Lorde, the highest level of Menos. I killed many Hollows in my time but I only did it to become stronger. When I became a Vaste Lorde, I only killed to defend. I suppose it is because I had a purpose… I believe that every world has sacrifice and that every action we take is to protect against the inevitable sacrifice we must make. Perhaps if there is something you need to do, you will not become a mindless beast." Harribel mused.
"I've always wanted to protect my friends from XANA, this computer program I accidently set loose. But now I guess what I really want to do…" Jeremie thought for a moment, "I want to…" Abandon your fear. Look forward. Move forward... Jeremie then corrected himself. "No, I will help Ichigo get back to his own body, his real one."
Harribel looked at Jeremie for a moment. "Then if you truly wish to succeed, you should learn how to use your powers."
"My Hollow Powers?"
"No, all your powers. The powers you have as a human, those of a Soul Reaper, and those of a Hollow. I cannot help you with your human and Soul Reaper powers but perhaps I can help you with your Hollow Powers."
