Bleach – The Heart of the Matter
By Tayla Drago
Cool! Last time we got to learn more about Dracula himself and his past, along with Lisa and Alucard too, with the other legendary warriors who stopped the Prince of Darkness from back then…Not bad so far. And yet, the making of the Bounts of Rao Tao's doing was also trying to bring back Dracula was all of the old captain's doing 'from Squad Nine', Inkia. As Shunsui and Ukitake knew of him back then to have his plans put in to action even before his death to have some Soul Reaper powers, a Bount, and vampire within this new Count Dracula? Could that be true? Hmmm…Well, besides having both Nanao and Shunsui for those two to get Belmont powers now like the others, who knows on who else will little by little. For Sonia to fight back, that's all that matter the most and less of the curse thanks to Mayuri's help to find a cure and studying more on the monsters too.
One night for Sonia to be sleeping at Squad Thirteen after training hard today to have more control from the curse from within her, to then hear someone calling out to her to wake up from. A dream maybe? Showing the woman with blonde hair in a red color dress to have the same power as she did, but it was a bit different.
"(Huh? I feels someone like me, but who could I it be?)" she looks around the room to have a look outside next. "Who's there? Hello? Anyone…?" Sonia finds no one to feel out where the strange energy was coming from. "(It's moving away fast. I…I have to see what or who it is out there and fast!)"
I guess Sonia takes off in her Soul Reaper uniform and carrying her Zanpakto to find that someone throughout the entire Sereitei to see who person was. And by luck, someone was spying on her for one for it was Yachiru and the other…her captain herself of Squad Eleven, Kenpachi Zaraki himself. What did they want with her?! At a bad time like this? And…in the middle of the night?!
"Kenny, look! There she goes! Sonny!" Yachiru smiled to point out. "I wonder what she's doing at night time? People should be sleeping…What do you think, Kenny?"
For Kenpachi to be smiling, he wanted to find out himself by following Sonia on where she was heading to.
"Don't know. But whatever that might be, this is my chance to have a good talk with this Sonia friend of yours in person. Let's go have some fun, Yachiru." He said smiling to have Yachiru ride on his back. "Hold on tight."
"Yeah! Kenny's going to play with Sonny! This is going to be fun!"
I can't tell if Kenpachi meeting with Sonia alone with Yachiru tagging along is a good thing or a bad thing. I don't know! For Sonia to follow that person all the way to the Rukon area to where the outside place of the huge water fall was at 'as the strange woman stops to wait for Sonia's arrival', and for Deku to fly around to have another shot to capture her and gather the souls and blood too. Soon to strike again with another monster to bring out soon while still spying around.
"Alone at night time, huh Belmont Girl? Well, this time I will get my chance to shine for Lord Dracula to complete with the task. Unlike Richard and that dumb bitch Succubus." said the little vampire bat. "I show them all on what I can do. As for Lord Dracula's son…I couldn't care less about him. Still, I got more things to take care of."
Whatever Deku is thinking about for his next counter attack, it won't be good…Not at all. For Sonia to arrive near the waterfall to find the mysterious woman to look around to feel the same Spiritual Pressure she has. Looking around a bit more to see someone standing near the rocks of the lake to Sonia to finally catching up to this woman.
"(There she is…)" Sonia remembers seeing the woman who aided the others from the last battle. "(I've seen her once. She saved me, Momo, Ayame with the other kids, and Izuru when we had trouble stopping Big Brother, Werewolf, and Minotaur Beast.)" she then calls to the woman to get her attention. "Hey! You there! You're the one you aided us from the other day, didn't you? I didn't thank you for that! But still, who are you? You are on our side against Dracula and his goons, aren't you? Show yourself!"
And so, she does, she was known as Rosa who wasn't just an ordinary woman with powers to be so beautiful. Her skin is different from any other human or Soul Reaper to be wearing an old long red dress, with long blonde hair, red shoes, and some nice pink lips to look like a sad woman to trust in Sonia a lot to show herself to her only. And…for some reason, Rosa looked upset.
"You've come. I'm glad." She said to walk up to Sonia. "Do not be scared, I'm a friend to you and the others of the Soul Society. It's been ages since I came back to this place."
"Excuse me…? (This isn't her first time in the Soul Society?)" Sonia was lost.
What Rosa said was odd to drop the subject there to get to more important things.
"Please. Listen to me well, Sonia, this is an important message that I'm delivering for you to tell the other Soul Reapers about it. My name is Rosa." She said.
And once Rosa said that to Sonia, she wanted to learn more about this strange woman as much as possible.
"(Rose, huh…?)" Sonia then heard Rosa calling out her name. "Wait…I never told you my name!" she demands to know everything else. "Who are you?"
"It's okay, I know all about you, Sonia, but you must listen to me first. This is about Dracula." Rosa then gets Sonia's attention to listen in to hear on what she must say first. "Listen well…Count Dracula has been brought back from the blood of many human sacrifices, a soul of a virgin woman, the energy of a Belmont, and last was a human flesh of a greedy man, part of them was a greedy Soul Reaper during the Bount project that Rao Tao did. The one you call Inkia, former captain from Squad Nine. He has something to do with Dracula's resurrection return to take over all the worlds for the curse to course through everything to never be destroyed again. Only you, Sonia, with the other Soul Reapers, humans with powers, a Quincy, and a Master Liberian's help may break the spell to destroy Dracula for good. And to save your step-brother as well. So, you must beat the curse to have a brand-new power to do just that to create a spell."
Seems simple enough to learn and study a lot on what Sonia needs to do so far, she sees that to try awakening her Soul Reaper powers again.
"So, Jushiro and Shunsui were right about this Inkia person who had something to bring Dracula back to life for good…" she gets it now to tell Rosa something else. "And then what?"
"You'll know the rest afterwards soon enough. With the Belmont powers given to your friends, use them well until the moment is right to use the finishing blow against the Prince of Darkness. And…save Alucard while he's still the half human he is. And remember, I'm here to aid you no matter where you might go to anywhere next." Rosa was about to leave now to portal the entire Sereitei area alone. "Now if you would excuse me, I must be off for now."
Sonia wanted to learn more of her new friend who knows a lot about her.
"But wait! Rosa! Come back!" she couldn't catch up to her. "I want to know more about you, please!"
"Some other time, I promise. For now, there's another monster who has entered in the Soul Society…Stop it while there's still time! Until we meet again." The mysterious Rosa takes off after that. "(Soon, Sonia, I'll explain to you everything about me. I promise.)"
Well, there goes Rosa 'for now'. Sonia misses her chance to use her Flash Steps to stop her. But still, what she said to Sonia could be important to keep in mind. Bummer, huh? For Sonia to be lost to try to get back to Squad Thirteen 'and something was up to get Makizo up to see that both Yachiru or Kenpachi weren't around to get both Yumichika and Ikkaku up to alert the other two as they go on a search right away; and Sonia finding her way back to feel out a very strong Spiritual Pressure to draw out to almost make her fall 'due to Dracula's curse coursing through her a little' while fighting back.
"(What the hell?!) Ah!" Sonia tries to get back up on her feet from this power. "Where's this energy coming from?! Is like the gravity's losing control in this one area…! It…It must be someone who's too powerful! Show yourself!" she calls out on whoever was doing it. "I know you're out there!"
First Yachiru steps in to have no effect to the power coursing through the area to say hi to her friend.
"Hi, Sonny! How's it going?"
"Yachiru? What are you doing here?! It's too dangerous!" Sonia tells her friend of the danger. "Get out of here!"
"But it's not Mr. Vampire's monster this time, it's my captain from Squad Eleven…" she said. "It's someone else I know of very well."
Once Yachiru said that part, Sonia knew right away to have a very bad feeling about what's to come next.
"Ah…Who…?"
"Sonny, allow me to introduce you to my captain, Kenny." Yachiru move aside to make run for her captain to appear. "Come on out, Kenny, Sonny's here."
Yep, Kenpachi makes an appearance in front of Sonia at last for Yachiru to look happy for her captain to meet with her new best friend. For Kenpachi to be super strong to remember him since she arrived in the Soul Society. Freaking out from his powers were beyond anything or anyone else to feel out by far, he looked happy to see on how powerful she was slowly becoming to be able to fight again for his type of fun. But not just for his fun to be fighting…
"Who…Wow!" Sonia was freaking out to be seeing Kenpachi. "(Not that guy! I didn't know he was Squad Eleven's captain that Yachiru works for…! Crap!"
"Ah, what's wrong? Kenny fun and he's very a nice guy who wishes to plays." Said Yachiru.
For Yachiru tries to tell Sonia that, Kenpachi tries to have a better look at the new Soul Reaper. Allow me to explain who Yachiru and Kenpachi are before continuing any further…
Here's Kenpachi Zaraki. Not having a name to go by for as long as he could remember, he eventually chose to take his surname from the district he once resided in, Zaraki, which was District 80 of the North Alley of Rukongai. District 80 was the worst, most lawless region of Rukongai, full of thieves and murderers (whereas area #1 was the most orderly and law-abiding). As a young boy living in the streets of the Rukongai, Zaraki, coming upon the dead body of a Shinigami, took his Asauchi, later imprinting his soul upon it to make his own Zanpakutō.
Sometime later, as a young man, Zaraki, coming upon a young girl, named her Yachiru, in remembrance of the only person he ever admired, after she showed no fear of his sword. Yachiru came from District 79, Kusajishi, where her parents were murdered, seemingly not too long before Kenpachi arrived. On that day, he took on a name: Kenpachi, the title bestowed upon the strongest Shinigami in every generation, the one who has slain the most enemies and won the most battles.
Later, he had an encounter with Ikkaku Madarame and Yumichika Ayasegawa before they entered Seireitei. Yachiru warned Ikkaku messing with Kenpachi while he was in a good mood was a bad idea, though Ikkaku did not take the warning seriously. When Kenpachi and Ikkaku meet face to face, the latter immediately became alarmed by the former's Reiatsu, but was happy to finally have a real challenge. Kenpachi attacked with enough force to create a crater in the ground under Ikkaku, which somewhat alarmed Yumichika. Due to Kenpachi's strength, Ikkaku was forced on the defensive, holding off Kenpachi's relentless strikes. As the two continued to fight, Ikkaku tried to overwhelm Kenpachi, though he failed in doing so, only succeeding in increasing his own wounds while his opponent remaining untouched by his blade. While Kenpachi mentioned he was having fun, he decided to finish Ikkaku with one quick strike, resulting in his loss of the fight.
Ikkaku became mad Kenpachi would just walk away without finishing him off. Kenpachi, plainly telling him he had no interest in weaklings who could not fight, noted he did not have any obligation to finish Ikkaku off. Ikkaku, thinking he was toying with him, demanded Kenpachi kill him. Kenpachi, losing his patience, grabbed hold of Ikkaku and asked why he was screaming for death if he loved to fight so much. Kenpachi explained to him a philosophy to follow for people like them: "Don't admit defeat and seek death. Die first, then admit defeat. When you lose, but don't die, it just means you were lucky. At those times, think only about survival. Survive, and think only about killing the guy who failed to kill you". Kenpachi, smiling at him, stated it was not like he went easy on him; he was just lucky to escape death. He said Ikkaku should live, come back, and try to kill him again. As Kenpachi went to leave, Ikkaku, asking him his name, is told he is Kenpachi from Zaraki.
Sometime later, Kenpachi killed Kenpachi Kiganjō, the captain of the 11th Division, in a single blow in front of over two hundred members of the Division. As per the 3rd Captain Qualification Trial, Kenpachi became the new captain of that division. By killing the 11th Division captain, he became the official and uncontested holder of the title, Kenpachi, as well as becoming the 11th person to hold the title.
The following day, during Kenpachi's first addressing of his division, he was greeted by Ikkaku and Yumichika, who had already become Shinigami and joined the division. Ikkaku told Kenpachi he had come back just as he suggested, causing Kenpachi to smile. Later, they were present at the battle of the division against a caterpillar Hollow. While initially the division lost, Ikkaku showed up to fight it, but was stopped by Kenpachi, who decided to kill it himself. After the Hollow was dispatched, more came, prompting Ikkaku and Yumichika to join in the fight. Though at first he was against it, Kenpachi was persuaded upon realizing the two had similar fighting traits, and, as such, would like to fight by his side. After this, Kenpachi allowed them to participate in his fights.
Shortly after joining the Gotei 13, Kenpachi was forced by Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto to learn Kendō because he had not learned any formal swordsmanship training, having bypassed those normally necessary qualifications due to the way he attained his position. Central 46 ordered Yamamoto to stop the training after one day, as they became concerned that if Zaraki realized his full potential and rebelled, he could become an unstoppable force. Kenpachi hated using Kendō because his battles would end too quickly with it, so he only used it if his own life was in danger.
And the next one is Yachiru to learn about her now. Yachiru first met Kenpachi in one of the worst districts of Rukongai, the 79th district of the North Alley, Kusajishi, as a nameless child. She crawled over to him after he killed several other men with his unnamed Zanpakuto, and was completely unfazed by the violence she had just witnessed, or the blood on his sword. Even as Kenpachi warned her that the sword was dangerous, she reached out and touched it, giggling as her hand was covered in the blood of dead men. He adopted her after that, saving her from certain death in Rukongai. He named her "Yachiru" in memory of the only person he had ever admired. Her surname Kusajishi was given to her because she was from that district. Since that day, she has spent much of her time clinging to his back for transport. Of course, for Yachiru, Ikkaku, and Yumichika told them and their captain to Sonia already. And…Now that you all know, back to the story…Kenpachi finally sees Sonia a bit more than on the first day was, freaky…!
"Well, now…Sonia Yamamoto. AKA Belmont Girl." He said to be glaring at her. "I was wondering on how powerful you've gotten since you've arrived here and befriended Yachiru. I love fighting with strong fighters, and for you…I like to see a pretty one in action." Kenpachi points out at Sonia. "And you're one of them that I wish to face against."
"Huh? Whoa, hang on! Kenpachi, I don't think I can beat you, I can sense your powers all the way from the hill top!"
Sonia tries to use her Flash Steps to outrun Kenpachi for him to catch up to her in seconds…! Wow! For Yachiru to be laughing as she was enjoying the show. She knows what's going on to make sure that her friend was having fun.
"Is that so…?"
"Ah!" Sonia was lost. "But how did you…?! Yachiru!"
Yachiru was smiling and giggling to have some fun with the whole thing, only for her friend Sonia was freaking out from Kenpachi.
"I just follow your movements too well to not lose sight from your skills. Clever, isn't it?" Kenpachi moved fast next to Sonia. "Now, show me what you got, woman-!"
From Kenpachi trying to grab hold of Sonia's shoulder, she grabs hold of his arm to send him flying to the ground. A reflex type of move, nice one! Catching Kenpachi off guard, he fights the way he was 'than not powering up' for him to be laughing with joy and Yachiru clap with happiness from seeing that type of fighting move.
"Sonny smack down Kenny! Well, done!"
Sonia freaks out to not think that she would have it in her to fight back against someone like Kenpachi.
"I'm so sorry, Kenpachi!" Sonia tries telling the Captain of Squad Eleven. "You just came at me out of nowhere." She moves away from Kenpachi's oncoming sword slash attack. "Hey!"
"Don't worry there. I can take it, give me some more, Sonia, I like that in a woman like you are. Let's do some more." He kept on going. "(I'm starting to like this girl more than her skills…)"
Kenpachi was really enjoying this for Sonia to try running for her life from this type of Soul Reaper. And Yachiru finds this all to be fun, why…? Well, she does for her friend and her captain to be fighting/playing with each other. From running around, Sonia defends herself with some fighting skills, Zanpakto, Flash Step moves, and Kenpachi uses his Zanpakto to try cutting at her 'but not too hard' to be some fight for his way of having fun. Good kind or the bad kind?
"Yachiru! Make your captain stop!"
"He won't bite, he just wants to play with her cool fighting technique thingy is all." Yachiru said to be watching.
"But I'm afraid he might chop my head off!" Sonia panics.
Kenpachi coming in too fast from above, to duck away in time to make his lick his lips for her. Mess up…!
"Damn, woman, I love it when a woman like you can withstand my powers and can kick my ass." He said to be laughing. "I might be falling in love here!"
"What the hell?!" shock Sonia.
Wait, in love?! In Kenpachi's way to show his own feeling of it to Sonia, kind of weird if you ask me! Going up to Sonia again to punch and kick as many times to get out of the danger, Kenpachi kept on going all out.
"Engarde, baby!"
A close one there! Got to pieces of Sonia's hair though. From a chase type of fight for Sonia to run away and defend herself against Kenpachi…For him to have something else powerful from underground to pull him out of nowhere to his surprise. Huh? What happened? Something was down below to make Sonia move away from the many arms, for Yachiru to run over to her captain's side to get pulled in too.
"(What just happen to Kenpachi…?)" Sonia reaches out to Yachiru's hand. "Ah! Yachiru! Grab my hand!"
"No, Sonny! Kenny fell and he might be hurt. I have to go help him-!" she gets drag down below too like Kenpachi did. "Ah! Kenny!"
Now Yachiru's been dragged under like Kenpachi. In some odd hole that was made underground within the Soul Society of the Sereitei area. But how? For Sonia to move around from lots of creepy looking hands to be up to grab anything near them for Sonia couldn't cut them all away alone; but with help she could for Makizo 'for him to get some Belmont powers of power up Spirit Energy like Nanao did', Ikkaku, Yumichika, and the other Soul Reapers from Squad Eleven have come to the rescue for her to cut down the rest 'even for both Ikkaku and Yumichika to be using their new Belmont powers very well'.
"Ikkaku! Yumichika! Makizo! And everyone else!" Sonia was happy to see them all. "Thanks for the help there."
For Ikkaku and Yumichika were also happy to see Sonia 'to still have feelings for her'.
"Sonia, I guess we made it in time to save you." Ikkaku tries to act all smooth and sweet to Sonia. "I'm just glad to see you're not hurt."
Yumichika cuts in to get to Sonia and away from Ikkaku. Here we go again…
"I'm happy too, Sonia, happier to not be apart from you for one second…"
Makizo then steps in to say something to stop the two from being perverted around Sonia again 'they kind of were'.
"Hey! Lieutenant Madarame! Lieutenant Ayasegawa!" he steps in. "This is no time to be flittering! We have other problems right now besides Yamamoto's safety! Where's Captain Zaraki and his Lieutenant Kusajishi?"
For the other Squad Eleven members to start worrying about the two of their whereabouts, for Sonia pointed out to all of them and the other three on where both Kenpachi and Yachiru are at. Down below…and for her to feel out more danger from undergrounds to be one of Dracula's monsters to be down there too. At a time like this…? Really?
"They fell down there after your crazy captain try to kill me…by fighting! And Yachiru just watched!"
For the others to start worrying of their captain and lieutenant's safety to start digging up the hole to find their way in to save them both, Sonia didn't think that they were super loyal to someone like Kenpachi was. Makizo had to make sure to keep everyone in line to remind calm.
"Ah! Captain! Lieutenant! Hang on, we'll save you two!" he was panicking the most. "No one panic…Everyone don't you dare panic!"
Yumichika slaps Makizo to snap him out of it to get back to work after that.
"Calm down, you wuss, and get to work already." He then says something to Sonia next about Kenpachi more like they did with themselves and Yachiru a while ago since they first met. "Sonia, having Yachiru's goofiness can be…hard of understanding to like you as her friend. As for our captain, he's a great and most powerful fighter of Squad Eleven. He fights on those who are strong for his fun to become stronger like he is, just like Ichigo too."
"(Ichigo has fought with Kenpachi?!)" Sonia was shock from hearing that.
Well, that was one battle that Ichigo doesn't want to face with Kenpachi again! Lucky for Sonia to push that guy back. Then Ikkaku explains the rest to her.
"Lucky you, Sonia, as hot as you are to us and for Captain Zaraki to be having a crush on you too. He doesn't get much around women, but you're his type…" he then stops to be upset about that. "AH! What am I saying?! Now I have both you, Yumichika, and our Captain to try winning Sonia over!"
Sonia yells at them boys too as she says something about that part.
"I ALREADY HAVE A BOYFRIEND! AND THAT'S JUSHIRO THAT I LOVE!"
Makizo saw that part coming to have Yumichika and Ikkaku not to give up on her.
"Enough flittering, Sonia's right." He said. "We need to go down there to help out those two-!"
"Wait a minute!" Sonia stops Makizo in time. "(I knew it…Dracula's send out one of Dracula's monsters again. Yachiru and Kenpachi might be in grave danger.)" She gets suited up to try to save them by jumping down into the hole. "Makizo. Ikkaku. Yumichika. I need you boys to listen to me carefully. I need all of you to find another path while the rest stop the hands that are popping out, got it? I need to go down there and save those two before they're killed for their blood and souls to be taken, so don't wait up!" she jumps all the way down there.
For Makizo, Ikkaku, and Yumichika leave the rest to her now to save both Yachiru and Kenpachi while some find another way down below the grounds of a hidden area…while the rest fight off the many arms without getting dragged down to say the least. For Ikkaku and Yumichika has got that part covered to stay strong thanks to the Belmont powers to be using for a fight like this one; to also trust their fates in Sonia 'to still have some feelings for her'.
"Just because that Sonia has a thing for Captain Ukitake from Squad Thirteen, that doesn't mean I'll lose to him, Izuru, Captain Zaraki, or to you, Yumichika."
"Is that so, Ikkaku? I couldn't agree with you more. Sonia's too perfect to fall for a girl like her, and yet she is our only hope to become stronger in our own way. So I have to agree with you."
And the fighting continues from above ground, but down below for Sonia to light up the entire place was like she was in a crypt shrine of the dead bodies, old temples, and such to see while searching for the other two to be somewhere. And no sign of Dracula's monsters to be where she was standing at, but on the other side maybe…? Searching as far and long as Sonia could to have a look around in a dark place, to fall on top of lots of bones that were lying on the grounds and down into the pits to find an old battle arena type of room. But seeing lots of demon bones scattered around…not a good sight to see to be gross out about even for her.
"Huh…?" she sees it to get out of to dusting herself off. "(Gross! Man, back then people aren't too good sealing the dead bodies to look like this, a room of a never-ending corpses to me.)"
Looking all over to finally see Yachiru trying to get a ton of rock rubble off Kenpachi to be out cold, for her to look upset to do as many as she could to be crying. Sonia arrives to lend her friend a hand.
"Sonny…Sonny, please help me save Kenny…"
Sonia sees that Yachiru cares for her captain to be like a father to her to aid to girl from using her strength to push all the rocks off Kenpachi to make things go easy for him to be still be alive. What luck! Sonia even heals up Kenpachi after that for him to come to in seeing her do that for him after he tried to fight and too strong for Sonia to handle, but she did.
"He'll be fine, Yachiru. Lucky that I came here in time, huh?" she said. "How are you doing?"
"I'm fine…Thanks for the save. Kenny and I fell down hard to shield me under the rocks." Yachiru cleans her face up. "Thanks to you, Sonny, Kenny can play with you again. Before the rocks came tumbling down, he said this to me…I never fought anyone as strong for a woman, as Ichy was for a man to really get his game going. Whatever that means. He wants to do that again! After we get out first, huh? Baldy, Yun-Yun, and Maki-Maki must be worry about us, even you too, Sonny."
Seems that Sonia understands that Kenpachi enjoys the fun to control his powers well, to be dangerous but caring for Yachiru to know that. And she gets it now...Good to know for Sonia and Yachiru to lift up Kenpachi's body to try getting out of the area, there was just one problem…How will they get out?
"(I see now…) Okay, Yachiru, let's get out of here…" she couldn't find a way out at all. "Wait…Where is out?!"
Hard to know where to go to only for something to be flying above the two girls to see Deku to see them to summon another monster to go after them next.
"Ah, Belmont Girl, we meet again. And with your friends in the way, I cannot allow for them to live. I serve Lord Dracula to gather blood, souls, and you as his bride to be…" he uses his powers to get one demon to come to the Soul Society world. "Time to cause some chaos, Granfaloon! AKA Legion!"
A big ball-like demon with thousands of dead corpses covering the entire thing to make a weird sounds only.
The origin of Legion's or 'Granfaloon' design is a biblical account of many demons who possessed a man. The New Testament outlines an encounter where Jesus healed a man from Gadara possessed by demons while traveling, known as 'the exorcism of the Gerasene demoniac'. Thus, from the concept of being 'composed of many' came the design of the shell composed of many human bodies. The origin of Legion's design is a biblical account of many demons who possessed a man. The New Testament outlines an encounter where Jesus healed a man from Gadara possessed by demons while traveling, known as 'the exorcism of the Gerasene demoniac'. Thus, from the concept of being 'composed of many' came the design of the shell composed of many human bodies.
As Sonia felt the danger coming towards her and Yachiru to face off with Legion to save themselves and Kenpachi to still be out cold.
"That ball dead body thing looks like it wants us dead." Said Yachiru to point it out.
"And me to go back to Dracula…!" Sonia stays strong. "Not happening, bat boy."
Well, this made the little vampire bat of Dracula's servant get mad over nothing.
"It's Deku, a Vampire Bat who has the brains and gathers information for Lord Dracula, stupid!" he said in anger to give his monster an order. "Legion, get rid of those two pests and capture that Belmont Girl alive. That's an order!"
For the floating Legion does so to headbutt at the two girls to duck away in time to be fast and powerful, it was also annoying to make a weird creature-like sound. Yachiru had one idea to do to try cutting it down.
"Ah! Yachiru, get down!"
For Sonia to worry, not for her friend to have an idea.
"Sonny! Help me out!" she cuts some bodies down for the true form to be hiding under it all. "Look, ball dead body is falling apart to get weaker. Hiya! Wee!"
She was right! Sonia sees that to duck away to try hitting the other bodies off, it was working to keep Kenpachi shielded with her Kido water bubble spell, the two girls get to work on defeating another demon right away. They work together to put both of their friendship and fighting skills in to action.
"(Oh, right…The corpses are its shield, taking the rest out will weaken it.) Alright, Yachiru, let's go head on for Kenpachi's sake." Sonia joins in to fight. "Come on!"
Yachiru smiles to wait for Kenpachi to play again, to join with Sonia to battle head on first.
"Okay, Sonny! Charge!"
With Sonia uses her water blast type of attacks to fire at the bodies and Yachiru whacking away with her Zanpakto in a silly kind of way to get rid of all the corpse off Legion's body. So quick, so strong, and so cool how these girls were doing it 'for Deku to fly away from the danger in time to be hiding'. For all the bodies to drop on the ground like dead flies, it worked to leave Legion's true form of a ball with many arms to move around to open or close from the tip ends of it. Thinking that they were winning, Deku laughs to tell both Yachiru and Sonia that this was only the beginning of Legion's true powers to be shown that Sonia doesn't know much about this demon, too much of its true nature that is. I don't like where this is going…
"Oh, are you kidding me…? What now?!" Sonia demanded to know.
"So, you think you two ladies have won, didn't you? Well look again!" the bat tells the demon to go all out now. "Legion, it's time to send your army on the pest and weaken the target as much as possible. No holding back now."
And so, it does by Deku's orders. Legion makes another weird sound to get his corpses to walk around to stop Yachiru and captures Sonia as group. For no matter how many hits that the two fires at the bodies or to cut down, they just keep coming back for more like a group of zombies to have stronger skins that can't be cut not even with a Zanpakto; even for Legion to fire out from its many arms of powerful solar beams to destroy anything in seconds for Sonia's Kido or Yachiru knocking it out of the park like a baseball weren't working at all. For Legion to come floating in closer, the bodies grab hold Yachiru to beat her to death.
"Oh, no…!" Yachiru was freaking out to worry about Kenpachi than her own life. "Sonny! Protect Kenny! This monster's a bully who won't stop until all of us but you are dead…! Help!"
"Yachiru!" Sonia couldn't pull her friend out of the pile for Legion to almost zapping her and getting pulled away next. "(This bad to let this all to end like this…)" she cries out for help to avoid the pain of Dracula's curse and her powers to fuse as one. "Kenpachi! Wake up! We need you! Your members of Squad Eleven, Makizo, Ikkaku, Yumichika, and Yachiru need you!"
Shouting as loud as she could, it happened…Something of a huge light comes shooting out from Kenpachi's eye once he removes his on-eye patch to release his uncontrollable Spirit Wave to come out so brightly to almost blinding Deku's eyes to have the corpses and Legion a bit push back. And for the first time for Sonia to see Kenpachi feeling better, getting back up, smiling, laughing, and cutting down the corpses in seconds to turn to ashes and saves Yachiru. She smiles, hugs her captain, climbs on his back, and she too charges up a bit as well 'with pink-like colors for her'.
"Kenny! You're okay! You saved us two!" she said. "Look, Sonny, Kenny's back! We saved him, and now he's saving us."
Legion firing another shot for Sonia to try using her Kido type of water to block the rest in time…
"Watch out!" she jumps in.
Only…Kenpachi also steps in to push the blast back to make Legion retreat backwards for a few seconds after getting almost hit with its own attack.
"Ten points, Kenny!" Yachiru made a funny peace sign after that attack was made.
"Damn, I'm even impress myself." He said to check on Sonia. "Hey, Sonia, I like your fighting style, sexy…And with this power, Belmont powers, right? I think it's starting to happen to me and Yachiru now since Ikkaku and Yumichika has theirs too."
"And some of it for Maki-Maki." Yachiru added. "We get Belmont powers from Sonny's help. Yeah!"
Guess they were besides Kenpachi was the first to wake up and fight back. Yep…This is going to be something else for this guy to stop Legion as more and more corpses to come back up to stop the three by any means it can try to do, lots of them again. For Kenpachi, Yachiru, and Sonia must give it everything they got at the many armies and stopping one demon who's controlling it all, to also see that Kenpachi was a softie to care and to still be himself.
"(This is getting crazy…Still, I'm glad that Kenpachi's feeling better, but can we stop these many corpses and Legion together? I didn't think this fight would get this default…) Kenpachi, wait. Are you sure you can still fight or what?" ask Sonia.
For Kenpachi to be smiling to not care at all.
"Nothing to worry about, Sonia. You heard Yachiru, we can stop these things. Messing with you and the rest of Squad Eleven was a big mistake…Dracula's going down from messing with you! He sounds powerful enough for me to fight with him or his vampire army than these guys are!"
"Yeah, but…" Sonia tries to break it to Kenpachi. "But I'm in love with someone else…"
"It's fine." He said back. "I know, with Captain Ukitake, right? Well, make sure he keeps you happy while I keep my other men in check…I love you the way how I show it and nothing else, because that's who I am. Sonia, I will protect you from the curse and from these things."
For Sonia to see that and hear it from Kenpachi, he was right. To see how Yachiru was herself with her captain around, Ikkaku to be the best, Yumichika as well in a beautiful way, and Makizo to be trying, she sees what Squad Eleven was all about now. Kenpachi likes Sonia, but in his own way to have feelings to still be his old self to enjoy fighting with strong people. And with that, she gets it to fight back now to powering up the two while she fights the army of corpses and then stop Legion for good.
"(So that's what Squad Eleven's all about. Strength, bonding, caring, and trying to be the best out of everyone else…Kenpachi's one of them to lift up Yachiru, Ikkaku, Yumichika, and Makizo's spirits. The way I was to stop Dracula, and then I meant with friends like Ichigo. And a lot more here in my real home…I understand, we have to fight back.)" Sonia was ready to fight. "In that case, Kenpachi. Yachiru. Let's finish the job right here and now."
They agree to power up from the Belmont skills to come up with a plan too…
"In that case, thanks Sonia. Yachiru, you two stop those rotten dead things while I go head-to-head with this Legion thingy. We're going to be having some fun!"
"Right!" she joins in with Sonia. "Let's play with them, Sonny, this time we'll win!"
For Sonia to smile, Legion and its army attacked at them, both Kenpachi and Yachiru were powering up, and Deku didn't like on what was happening next.
"Another one!?" the bat was in shock.
Here we go for another power up for the two, from Kenpachi…
"Captain of Squad Eleven of the strongest living Soul Reaper, Kenpachi Zaraki!"
Then Yachiru joins in too as she was having a lot of fun right now.
"Lieutenant of Squad Eleven as well, Yachiru Kusajishi! Yeah!"
And then the power ups have been updates for them, the Belmont skills that is. From Kenpachi to be having electric powers all over his body, and Yachiru's to be glowing 'like Nanao and Makizo have' to be powerful all over her body to hit anyone with of Spiritual Pressure to be rising. Cool!
"Powers from within! Activated!" they say it together.
Remember for Kenpachi doesn't have a name for his Zanpakto, it's still part of him to hear its voice and such to control his powers from time to time. And here we go…! Kenpachi laughs to go head to head with Legion trying to smack him with its many arms and fire blast the captain head on for him to be laughing all the way to cut away to also be shocking its entire body; causing its army of dead corpses to fall a lot more for Sonia to use her water skills to stop the rest, but for Yachiru to move fast to pushing them down.
"Yachiru?" surprised Sonia. "(Damn, she's fast! And so is Kenpachi…)"
She whacks some of them with her Zanpakto 'like a rag doll' to get one on hold to hit it in a golf course.
"This is fun!" she aims to swing and shoot. "Four!"
For one corpses to go flying all over the underground place to bounce off from wall to wall hitting the other ones thanks to Yachiru and Sonia dealing with the rest, and the other throwing off Legion's powers; as Kenpachi steps in to give the demon some shocking type of slashes at a time to be moving so fast.
"What's wrong? Can't keep up with me? How sad…Talk about your shocking turn of events for you!" he kept on attack away to cut down the other fire blast to destroy from Legion's doing. "Now this is what I call a fight."
Kenpachi to power up to hit Legion a lot by using its many arms to get cut, pulled, and another to fire through its body from Kenpachi to pull back. Nice one! It was hurt! For the other corpses to melt away in seconds to let Yachiru stomp on them all, leaving Sonia to finish the job for the two as Deku makes a cowardly retreat to get the job done next time.
"Finish it, Sonny!" Yachiru cheers her friend on.
"So, close! I'm outta here! But I shall return again!"
With the bat returning to base, Legion meet its end as well for Sonia to finish it with her special attack to use again.
"In the name of the Belmont Clan! Holy Cross, I now Bathe ties the Evil. Be…Gone!"
Firing away a power water-like cross shape at Legion to let out its last cries of odd sounds it was making, it was no more now. From getting shocked, soaked in water, and burned to become nothing after that. Only lots of other dead bones all over the place still to be some freaky crypt in the undergrounds of the Soul Society. So far, Kenpachi and Yachiru now have powers to use against Dracula and his other army. Nice! Looks like all went well for the three, even for the rest of Squad Eleven arrived now to finding a way out thanks to them and stopping the corpses hands too.
"Well, that was fun while it lasted. I couldn't be gone a few more rounds against that thing. Whatever it was." Kenpachi said.
"It was a Legion…Some type of-!" Sonia drops the subject. "Oh, forget it. It'll be too hard to explain to you guys. But hey, you were great, Kenpachi, thanks for the save there."
"Kenny was amazing, wasn't he?" Yachiru said with joy. "I told ya he only likes to play."
For him to be happy to have something to use 'for the time being' the next time he fights will all be worth it to him.
"Either way, I did save you both to handle the ones in my way and I did finish the job too. Still, I'm going to like these powers while I still have it!" he said to look happy in an odd way. "Sonia, I hope that somehow it'll bring out the fun and to aid you from the curse. Want to see more of the Soul Reaper powers that you have from within them. I want to do like we did last night, it was all worth it, wasn't it?"
"Ah…yeah, that it was…" said Sonia.
Ikkaku, Yumichika, Makizo, and the other members rush in to their captain and lieutenant's sides to see how they were both doing, and Sonia too for the other guys find her to be hot looking.
"Captain! Lieutenant! You two are alive! Thank God!" Makizo was crying a little.
For Kenpachi didn't care of melodrama, he was proud to see his squad members fighting back.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. Quit your complaining."
For Yumichika and Ikkaku hold Sonia's hands to fight a little and say they're thanks to her.
"Thank you so much for aiding Captain Zaraki, Sonia with your powers." Said Yumichika. "Simply a beautiful fight that was."
"Showing that we got plenty of others to kick Dracula's ass soon enough when he tries to invade our home, bring it on!" Ikkaku said too. "Oh, and that Yachiru, glad she's alive too…"
For her to give the three other men a hard time, no kidding…And for Sonia to smile, she has one thing in mind to give them they're thanks for trusting them all a bit and be open minded now.
"It was nothing, boys. Anyways, I thought about something for me to say my thanks and all…" she thought of one. "Anyone likes to party? Or something?"
With them hearing that word and looking at each other…the next night it did happen for Rangiku, Momo, Izuru, Hisagi, Kiyone, Sentaro, Sonia, Ikkaku, Yumichika, Yachiru, Makizo, Kenpachi, and the entire Squad Eleven members to do just that. For a new friendship to happen for Sonia little at a time to have friends like them; with more to come with Belmont powers of their own too, taking time to last until the battle is over at long last. From eating, drinking, dancing, and such for Ikkaku, Yumichika, and Makizo were out of it to be completely drunk, Yachiru and Sonia were having a lot fun 'and her to be careful not to drink too much', to grow a lot more to hang and help out one another.
"I love a good party like this one. Amazing…" Yachiru laughs to hit her glass with Sonia's. "May our friendship and fighting fun time have a lot more to do, Sonny. For Kenny, Baldy, Maki-Maki, Yun-Yun, and everyone else we know of. Last night was super fun."
Sonia smiles to pat Yachiru on the head to agree on 'some' of the parts there.
"I have to go with that one, Yachiru, it was for some things. And Kenpachi, odd…but he's alright in my book."
"Good to know!" she said.
Kenpachi pats Sonia on the head too by showing his respects as well.
"I can live with that. Wait to see me fight with Ichigo again when he comes around." He said to grab a bottle. "You're good drinking?"
"The rest is all yours." Said Sonia. "(I guess for others like Kenpachi, Ichigo, Dude Mayuri, Shunsui, Rangiku, Ikkaku, Yumi, Yachiru, Byakuya, and others are good when you get to know them better. And for Squad Eleven, they're alright to me too. It's good to have friends, and us to win from the curse and stopping Dracula.)"
You said it, Sonia. As the part continues all night long to have fun and relaxing time for Kenpachi to say this last thing before ending this chapter/episode until next time.
"Ha!" Kenpachi laughs. "You know what, Sonia, you're alright too."
The old saying goes…never judge a book by its cover. Yachiru, you're fun. And Kenpachi, you rule. As Rosa watches from afar to see Sonia again real soon, there was more to her than knowing about her and hanging out in the Soul Society again to stopping Dracula, but can she really be trust worthy? I hope so.
