Silbern Royal Office
***One Week Later***
Ichigo was sitting there in his new office, all papers signed and stamped, and those needed authorization had been authorized, They had moved to Silbern, The majority of the building was finished and the government quarters and the royal quarters was finished, Ichigo had paid a close attention to several things as of recent, how the A.N.U fared with finding Bambietta's parents, the Fullbringer situation had also become quite the hastle, though he felt it a bit more because he was thinking more about the situation, even while he was in his inner world training with Yhwach on how to use his Quincy abilities or if he was training with Bambietta, the thoughts about the situation always lingered in the back of his head, bothering him to immense degrees.
Thinking back to the the A.N.U almost managed to capture the three Fullbringers, but reinforcements arrived and the rapid response team was severly injured, and barely managed to retreat, some of them are still hospitalised, thought their lives are out of danger, they had been transported back to Silbern, and was now in the infirmary of Silbern, but what bothered Ichigo is their report.
They reported they had a red attire, with some gold on it, even though their attires was different from one another they all wore red. Ichigo had shared the information with the Soul Society, something Kyoraku and central 46 took very seriously considering the attack, the majority of the city had also been quickly rebuilt, he looked out over it from his office window, impressed by the speed the Quincy could repair with using just reishi.
Ichigo looked at the files and noticed that 50.000 soldiers had been admitted to becoming the elite special forces unit that had been recently made by Liltotto and Bambietta, the Keiserliche Garde, or the K.G for short, Ichigo had asked what it meant and learned that it stood for "Imperial Guard", not surprising to Ichigo as they would make up the Royal guard. There was even talk about finding highly exceptional Quincy for sternritter guards to guard Ichigo directly.
In Silbern and a lot of areas around it Ichigo quickly became popular, whenever he went out he always treated the population with high respect, something Yhwach never did to them, not a wonder since the Quincy was just a tool for him after all rather than his own people, so an emperor that truly cared for them was new for them.
The military still had police jurisdiction but local police training was underway, and would be implemented soon, Ichigo had heard about the new division in Silbern which the K.G would be part of, "The Royal Divisions" it was called, it contained the Silbern Guard and soon the K.G, and if sternritter bodyguards were made they would be part of it too. Having the royal units more organized was a better way for Bambietta to keep control over the Silbern garrison.
Ichigo had also invited his family to stay over, they were impressed with Silbern castle, as it was upgraded and looked more fancy, Yuzu actually compared it to the buckingham palace on the inside, Ichigo's parents stayed for a couple of days but Yuzu and Karin was still here, they enjoyed their fancy and oversized bedrooms. Inoue was also here for a little while, sharing room with Uryu but she had to leave for work.
Soon Yuzu and Karin would leave for school, since vacation was about to be over. Ichigo started to think about school, he had been signed out alongside Uryu, they couldn't attend because of their duties here, though Ichigo's friends did react to the news Ichigo and Bambietta had assured them that they could visit any time they wanted. All they had to do was to go to the Urahara shop and he would fix it, through a deal with Kisuke Ichigo already had made, Karin and Bambietta had become close and Bambietta and Masaki trained on how to use her Quincy abilities, and Karin had already learned blut vene.
Kisuke didn't hesitate for a second to allow them access, he was more happy with being allowed and trusted into their labs, and figured it was only a way of repaying, Kisuke had even gotten his own lab here and was permitted to use any equipment needed. He had even gotten along very well with Erwig, sometimes they would do the weirdest of things down in the lab that once even caused Liltotto concern and had her take shelter outside the city for a whole day.
Thinking about outside the city the army had done a great job with the abduction cases, luckily a lot of them just happened to be people moving away from the war in fear. But now that it was over they moved back to their homes, although a lot of the outer regions was still in trouble, corruption and crimes and so on, and despite their large army they didn't have enough men to cover all the areas properly as some areas hasn't been reached yet.
The scanner also worked great with finding the missing people that had been abducted, the criminals have been arrested and awaiting trial, the courts have been quickly formed up, though it was rushed, they still had courts of law atleast. Emmerich had proven quite useful in helping the courts, thinking about Emmerich he and Gina was getting their ephitets today. Ichigo looked at the clock and noticed it was time to go to the throne room and initate the ceremony.
He thought about Emmerich, he had apologized for his father but he said it was war and he didn't hold it against Ichigo, if anything he held it against Yhwach, but Ichigo knew Emmerich held his own father in a high regard, and Ichigo was sad that Quilge died. But he was happy for his forgiveness, Emmerich had gotten a lot more respect towards Ichigo, he was a substitute Shinigami fighting for the Soul Society, and his father was the enemy, and yet he apologized for his death, not many leaders would do that.
Wandenreich Unknown Village
The little girl was still bedridden, she had gotten very, very sick, and was weak and dying, they got a doctor in secret but he was later found and executed for helping them, the mayor had gotten enough of the girl, she knew that any time the militia would come, her parents have been arrested but put in their home under close guard, they were ordered to watch their little girl suffer. She already had symptoms of: lung infection, fever, muscle cramps, headaches, dry coughing and more, she was in a lot of pain.
But she didn't cry, even if she wanted too, soon she would be dead, and her parents would follow her, and no one could help them, or so she thought, it didn't take long for her to notice the door kicked open with force and inside came five men she watched the men enter the house through her open door, her parents was just as surprised, dressed in a white officer uniform with a blue shield patched on their shoulders that said A.N.U, they had created Reishi pistols that looked like lugars with silencers. They took aim towards the militia.
"You are ordered to get out now! Otherwise we will tell general Baumenn!" The milita said.
"We do not take orders from you nor him!" The soldat said.
"What?" The militia officer asked.
"We are the A.N.U" The soldat said.
"The A.N.U? What is that?" The officer asked.
"I have heard rumors about them, they are a secret police force created by the new emperor, evidently they only take orders from him and the grand mistress." A milita said.
"Secret police? The emperor?" The officer said in surprise.
"That is correct." The soldat said.
"What's a secret police?" another militia man asked.
"I know about it, you don't care about the law, you only follow orders and silence any one who threaten the empire or the emperor and you interrogate using torture, specialize in assassination and ensuring law and order from the shadows through brutal means, you are protected by the emperor himself meaning you can break as many laws as you want as long as you fullfil your mission and you are all made up of former special forces units." The militia man said.
"I see, so the new emperor and grand mistress themselves commands you?" The militia officer asked.
"That is correct." the soldat said.
"So why are you here?" The militia officer asked.
"Orders from his majesty emperor Ichigo Kurosaki and Grand mistress Bambietta Basterbine, why is none of your concern!" The soldat replied, shocking the militia, the little girl, and her parents.
"What did you say?" The militia officer asked annoyed but also surprised.
"Bambi? She's alive?" The mother asked.
The soldat looked at them and said nothing.
"You said grand mistress?" The father asked, trying another approach.
"Yes, grand mistress Bambietta Basterbine is his majesty's second in command." The soldat said, scaring the militia.
"By order of the mayor, these people are to be executed after the girl is dead, that is final!" The milita officer said sternly.
"Oh really? That is surely news for me, i'd say his majesty disagrees though, regretfully for your mayor, his majesty's orders are absolute, no one has a higher authority than him, and we know his majesty will not permit their punishment or execution." The soldat said.
"Then you must speak with the mayor of this town and ask him to override the order." The militia officer said.
"Apparently you don't hear well." The soldat said.
"What?.." The militia officer asked.
"His majesty has already overwritten the order, and that is final, your mayor is powerless against his word, to do otherwise is treason, and will be punishable by death!" The soldat said sternly.
"Fine... we'll leave, but don't think this is over!" The militia officer said.
"Yes it is! And i can't let you leave either, it's nothing personal." The soldat said.
The militia knew what this meant, they summoned their heilig bogens but the soldats was faster, and blood was spilled all across the room.
"I apologize for the mess, i can assure you reinforcements are enroute and we will clean it up." The soldat said to the father.
"I presume you are Ernst Basterbine?" The soldat asked the father.
"That is correct." Ernst replied.
"And you are Ausilia Basterbine?" The soldat asked the mother.
"Yes." Ausilia replied.
"I see, then we have struck gold, his majesty and the higher ups will be pleased that we have found our targets within one week." The soldat said
"My... our daughter... she's sick..." Ausilia said.
"Hmm? There is one more?" The soldat asked.
"Yes, she's 4 years old, she's very sick." Ernst replied, almost pleading for help.
"Where is she?" The soldat asked.
"In the bedroom there." Ausilia said as she showed them her little daughter
The soldat inspected her, she was really sick he knew this now, she had to get medical aid quickly
"This isn't good, what's your name?" The soldat asked.
"Her name is Sabrina... Sabrina Basterbine, she doesn't talk a lot." Ernst said.
"I see, get me the radio!" The soldat ordered, and he quickly got it.
"Foxtrot 14, reporting in, targets acquired, one more additional target has been added to the list, her name is Sabrina Basterbine, age 4, she is sick and in need of immediate medical assistance, our current location is the village of Ansbach, We were forced to compromise ourselves due to suspicious activity, which turned out to be a threat, it has been neutralized" The soldat said into the radio.
"Foxtrot 14 this is command, copy that, we want a full report on the incident when you get back! Also there is a military base closeby, we are alerting them now!" Command said
Ausilia and Ernst froze up in fear.
"Negative, the commanding officer in charge there is considered a threat." The soldat said.
"Roger that, Foxtrot 1 through 13 will link up with foxtrot 14, foxtrot 15 through 24 will take control over the base and arrest general Olivoph Baumenn, we will inform his majesty immediately." Command said.
Silbern Throne Room.
Bambietta had been stuck up with her own duties, overlooking the training of the K.G for the day, So Ichigo went through the ceremony without her, Emmerich and Gina drank their cups of Ichigo's blood and was granted and Ephitet
"Emmerich Opie, i grant you the same Ephitet as your father, J" Ichigo said, making Emmerich feel honored for this ephitet.
"I thank you your majesty, this is such an honor!" Emmerich said so happy he almost burst into tears.
"Gina Haschwalth, i grant you the ephitet L." Ichigo said.
"Thank you your majesty, it's such an honor!" Gina said approvingly.
"I never got to thank you for the uniforms you fixed us up with, i really like them." Ichigo said to Gina.
"It is just and honor to serve your majesty." Gina said.
Their attention was quickly brought to the doors leading into the throne room however, when an A.N.U soldier charged in.
"Your majesty, it's urgent!" The soldat said.
"Yes?" Ichigo asked.
"Foxtrot 14 has found their targets, there are three targets to protect, the third one is a girl of 4 years old, her name is Sabrina Basterbine, she is very sick and require immediate medical attention, Foxtrot 14 is guarding them now, however foxtrot 15 through 24 will take control over a nearby base and arrest the general in charge there for corruption and foxtrot 14 believes him to be a threat to the Basterbine family. Foxtrot 1 through 13 will link up for guard duties." The soldat said.
"She's sick? Damn... I won't tell Bambi yet, we need to get the girl over here now!" Ichigo said.
"Should i prepare a gate of the sun?" The soldat asked.
"Yes, i will personally head over there myself! Prepare a medical unit here in Silbern immediately! Gina, Emmerich you're with me!" Ichigo said as he clenched his fist in fury over hearing about Sabrina's condition
"Yes your majesty." They all said.
Ansbach Village
"This is command! Foxtrot 1 through 14 alert! His majesty has been informed and will personally come over to oversee the situation alongside sternritter J Emmerich Opie and Sternritter L Gina Haschwalth." Command said.
Everyone widened their eyes, the emperor himself was coming, Sabrina did wonder what he looked like, she had never seen a royal before, let alone an emperor, her curiosity was getting the better of her.
"Affirmitive, we will prepare for his arrival, when will he arrive?" The soldat asked.
"Now!" Command said.
A shadow appeared behind the soldat, through the radio, The radio had a tracker in it so that the military command could track the foxtrot unit, and now they used the radio's own shadow to create a portal, and outside came Emmerich, then Gina.
"Stand at attention for his majesty!" Emmerich said as the soldats saluted and out came the emperor himself.
Sabrina quickly saw who the emperor was, orange hair, tall, and with a scowl.
"Welcome your majesty!" The soldat said.
Ichigo didn't greet the soldat, he focused his attention to Sabrina, who lied there, sick and weak, Ichigo went over to her and lifted her up, she didn't weigh much, she was too light, while Ichigo maintained his composure he was internally horrified over how bad the girl actually looked.
"foxtrot 14 will stay here, rest of you with me!" Ichigo said, he was very displeased with the situation, he knew Bambietta would be heart broken for having a sick sister that was dying quickly. And it made him pissed!
Ausilia and Ernst followed quickly alongside Emmerich and Gina, leaving the A.N.U to guard the place.
"I will keep the portal open, Emmerich, guard it on the other side!" Ichigo ordered.
"Yes your majesty!" Emmerich said.
Silbern Castle
They went through the gate and into Silbern, Sabrina saw the massive and extravagant halls, guards was all around, and suddenly she heard the sound of running and a hospital bed coming towards them, she saw the doctors, alongside some soldats running towards them, once they had approached them Ichigo laid her down on the bed and the ran of towards the hospital ward, her mother followed leaving Ernst behind with Ichigo.
"Bambietta is not going to like the fact that her sister is sick... Especially since she never knew her, I know from some of my conversations with her that when she was with you she always wanted a younger sibling." Ichigo said to Ernst.
"Yes she did your majesty, i have searched for Bambi since she got lost in the riot, but i never found her, and we kept searching for years." Ernst replied sadly.
"I see." Ichigo replied, he knew now since Ernst spoke of the riot that Bambietta got Abducted from the A.N.U had struck gold.
"I presumed she was lost or in some place else, or worse, dead, but i heard she is alive? And now the Grand Mistress?" Ernst asked.
"That is correct, she is currently outside training the newly former Keiserliche Garde, or the K.G for short." Ichigo replied.
"I see, that is good, she's still alive." Ernst said, feeling his eyes get wet, knowing his precious little girl was safe and alive, and right now that was all that mattered for him, but he also had Sabrina to worry about, she was definetively in critical condition.
Liltotto had arrived with Uryu after hearing some fuss about the A.N.U
"Your majesty?" Liltotto asked.
"Chancellor Liltotto, Chancellor Uryu, let me introduce you the Ernst Basterbine." Ichigo said.
"Basterbine? You're Bambi's father?" Liltotto asked wide eyed and amazed over the fact that he was found in just a week.
"Yes i am lady chancellor." Ernst replied, he knew about the chancellors and their positions, everyone now did, word did spread like wildfire afterall.
"Uryu, Bambi has a younger sister, name is Sabrina Basterbine, 4 years old, she is in the infirmary and is very sick, can you make a call to Kisuke, dad and your father, they're the best doctors i know, i doubt your father become a hospital director for nothing, and Kisuke was the most brilliant man all across the Soul Society, and is still considered their smartest man even to this day amongst all of Soul Society, if they could get a look at Sabrina maybe they can quickly find out what's going on before she dies." Ichigo said,
Liltotto didn't know how to react, she was horrified and so was Uryu to hear this.
"Very well i'll call them." Uryu said as he rushed off.
"I suppose you want to meet Bambi?" Ichigo asked Ernst.
"I would love to, i haven't seen her in years!" Ernst replied happily,
"Where's the mother?" Liltotto asked.
"In the infirmary." Ichigo said.
"Guess i'll go there then, curious to what she looks like." Liltotto said as she took out a lollipop and went towards the infirmary.
"Well... That was unexpected, anyways let's go." Ichigo said as he deadpanned at Liltotto's curiosity.
Silbern Training Grounds
Bambietta watched the soldats train hard and mercilessly, these were going to be the best of the best, the elite's elite, the imperial guard. She noticed the door opened, and inside came Ichigo.
"Ichi? How did the ceremony go." Bambietta asked, as Ichigo stood besides her, she hasn't noticed her father yet, since he was standing over at the door, in disbelief over the fact that he was looking at his daughter's back.
"It went partially as planned, with something unexpected turning up." Ichigo responded.
"Unexpected? Get used to it." Bambietta said as she hugged Ichigo's right arm and pulled him into a kiss, much to her father's surprise,
"Aaaanyways your father is here." Ichigo said pointing behind him with his thumb.
"Huh?" Bambietta said as she looked towards the door and saw a face she hasn't seen in a long long time, Bambietta was silenced, she stood there, not saying a word, not knowing what to say, her father didn't but just said something.
"Hi Bambi, i'm sorry it's been so long... How have you been?" Ernst said with a comforting smile.
Bambietta didn't respond, instead she used hirenkyaku and charged into her father's chest, holding tightly around him, tears coming out from her eyes, she couldn't believe this was real at all, but she didn't see her mother.
"Daddy? Where's mommy?" She asked hoping she was okay.
"She's over at the infirmary." Her father replied, Bambietta's eyes shot open.
"Is something wrong with her?!" Bambietta asked in fear of that something bad had happened to her.
"No she is fine, regretfully... Your sister..." Ernst replied hesitantly.
'Sister?' Bambietta thought, she didn't have a sister, did she?
"You have a 4 year old sister Bambi, she is regretfully very sick, i have ordered Uryu to call Ryuken, dad, and Kisuke over to look at her, your mother is with her in the infirmary." Ichigo replied for Ernst, knowing Ernst had a hard time explaining it.
Bambietta was horrified, she had a sister she didn't know and she was sick, she subconsciously dragged her father with her using Hirenkyaku and vanished.
Silbern Infirmary
Bambietta and Ernst was outside the infirmary, Ernst had heard about the hirenkyaku but never seen it, he was impressed when his eldest daughter used it, Bambietta smashed the door open with a force never seen in Silbern before. And there she saw her mother, holding her younger daughters hand, she was sleeping. Ausilia looked up and saw her daughter for the first time in many years, Ausilia smiled at her.
She wanted to run and hug her eldest daughter, but she didn't want to leave Sabrina alone either, Bambietta saw that and understood it, she also noticed Liltotto eating some snack a bit further away, Bambietta wondered what she did here but didn't ask, she wanted family time. She quickly went over to her mother and they embraced, Ausilia and Bambietta let out a lot of tears at this reunion.
"Mommy..." Bambietta cried out quietly, trying to not wake Sabrina.
"She is so drugged up already you'd think she was an elephant." Liltotto said nonchalantly looking at Sabrina.
"Thanks for the sensitivity." Bambietta said annoyed over having the moment with her mother ruined, but Liltotto did have a point, her sister whom she never met was sick, and she wondered what was wrong with her.
"What wrong with her?" Bambietta asked hoping for an answer.
"I don't know, the doctors are looking into it now." Ausilia said.
"Ryuken, Kisuke and Isshin haven't arrived yet, but the ones here started her on strong pain killers, and are taking some tests now as we speak, they mentioned muscle cramps and muscle weakness, lung infection, and some other things." Ichigo responded coming in with a medical chart.
"How did this happen?!" Bambietta asked horrified over what her little sister was going through.
"Well, we have had a hard time." Ernst replied.
"Tell me!" Bambietta nearly yelled.
Ernst and Ausilia explained what had happened in their village, how they couldn't leave, how they were harassed, how corrupt their mayor and the general of the regional base was... And how sabrina was bullied, they went into details about it, Ichigo and Liltotto was horrified, Bambietta was pissed, and everyone knew it from the raging aura she let out, her fists clenched to hard her gloves ripped open. Oh those involved was going to pay big time she swore on that.
"Well, someone fucked up." Liltotto said nervously looking at Bambietta.
"Putting it mildly." Ichigo responded, if someone did this to his sister he would have torn them a new one.
Then Sabrina woke up, she looked around and noticed several people in the room, she had already met Liltotto, but this dark brown haired girl was new, she didn't know who it was.
"She's woken up." Ichigo said noticing Sabrina.
"Sabrina, honey, this is your sister, Bambietta, we just call her Bambi but this is the one we have been searching for." Ausilia said as she gently took a hold of Sabrina's hand.
Sabrina was surprised, she didn't even know she had a sister, she looked at Bambietta, not saying a single word, she noticed her teddy bear was gone aswell.
'So this is the one mommy and daddy has been looking for, i have a sister.' Sabrina said internally just looking at Bambietta.
"Hi." Bambietta said with a smile, but she got no response, she noticed her younger sisters beautiful light brown hair, her brown eyes, her cute adorable little face, she was just like a mini-Bambi.
"She has always been quiet, she rarely says anything at all, even to us." Ernst said looking at Sabrina.
Bambietta was surprised by this, but she went over to her other side and put her hand above hers, Sabrina surprised Bambietta by using every last part of strength she had left in her arm to turn it around and held her hand, she noticed Bambietta's uniform and saw she was a military officer.
"Did you now that Bambi is the grand mistress of the Wandenreich now? His majesty's second-in-command and his lover to from what i saw." Ernst said to Sabrina.
Sabrina looked at her sister in awe, she had no idea her sister was in such a powerful position, perhaps now things could get better for them, and just as if she read Sabrina's mind Bambietta spoke.
"I will handle the mayor and the general and everyone involved to put a stop to what's going on, one way or another." Bambietta reassured her.
Sabrina felt at peace now, things were finally going to get better, she knew that her sister had more authority than the mayor or the general, and they would now stop bothering her and her family, this was the best thing that has happened to her, knowing that her problems would be solved, that she could entrust it to her sister if things went south, she was brought out of her thought however as three other men came into the room, one had blonde hair with a hat and sandals, the second had white hair and wore glasses, and the third one was just weird.
Ichigo introduced them, and once they had gotten to know each others names, the trio started to look at her chart.
"Any family history of diseases?" Isshin asked.
"No, not that i'm aware off, we have been healthy for generations." Ernst replied.
"Alright how did this begin? We must know everything!" Ryuken asked
Ausilia and Ernst explained once again the life of Sabrina, They were horrified to hear how terrible the girls life was, but one thing had peaked Kisuke interest about the story.
"You mentioned a fountain?" Kisuke asked, getting the attention of everyone.
"Yes, after her teddy bear was ripped up she was pushed into a fountain, or so i believe, it hasn't been raining and the fountain was the only thing she could have pulled into, there is a river there and Ansbach is an island but if you fell over there is no way to get back on land since the whole island is a rock basically." Ernst said.
"How long ago was this?" Kisuke asked.
"About a week ago." Ernst replied
"I see." Kisuke said
"Let me guess, your brilliant mind has come up with something already, let's hear it." Ryuken responded, causing Ausilia, Ernst and Bambietta to widen their eyes in hopes that he knew what was happening to Sabrina, Sabrina just looked at Kisuke wondering how worked so quickly,
"Legionnaires disease." Kisuke responded.
"Legionnaires disease?" Bambietta asked.
"Legionella pneumophila, also called legionella is an aquatic bacteria, it likes to live in contaminated areas filled with water or in damp areas, it is a bacteria that causes lung infection, but can spread to the muscles and cause the sympoms of dry caughing, laxity, muscle pain, diarrhea and stomach pain, and the incubation period is 2 to 10 days. It would explain all of her symptoms." Isshin replied.
"I'm surprised you knew that." Ryuken replied rudely.
"Hey i'm a doctor too you know!" Isshin retorded.
"But yes, if the water is contaminated we can test it." Ryuken replied.
"How long does the testing take?" Ichigo asked.
"Couple of minutes if we test the water, longer if we test her body, we will be unable to check her blood until three weeks has passed minimum, and testing her urine will take a lot of time, judging from how sick she is in a short span of time i'd say her immune system is very weak and she will need medications for that." Ryuken replied.
"Very well, i will have the Silbern Guard arrange an escort." Ichigo replied.
"Very well, i will get some gear and be on my way." Ryuken replied.
"Liltotto, i believe i saw a teddy bear she had in her bed when we got her here, could you go get it for her? The gate is still open." Ichigo asked as he looked at Liltotto.
"Sure." Liltotto replied as she left the infirmary.
Ryuken left aswell, leaving Sabrina with Isshin and Kisuke,
"Is Legionnaires disease dangerous?" Ausilia asked.
"Legionella can cause two problems, one is Legionella disease, another is pontiac fever, pontiac fever is just like a flu with muscle pain but not dangerous at all, Legionella disease as we suspect in your daughter is fatal." Isshin replied, causing Ausilia to almost burst into tears of fear, Bambietta felt sad for her family, but she noticed an unspoken question.
"Is it fixable?" Bambietta asked hoping for a positive answer.
"It is treatable yes, just some strong antibiotics directly into the blood stream, like azitromycin, gemifloxacin, doxycycline or similar antibiotics to kill the bacteria, if it is legionella it's easily treated." Isshin responded, much to their delight, they hoped it was legionella.
"Regardless if Legionnaires disease is suspected, we start treatment immediately, we will put her on levofloxacin, if we have some?" Isshin asked.
"I'll talk with the doctors." Ichigo said as he left the room.
***Little while later***
Ichigo stepped back into the room with a doctor carrying a Bag with some liquid, Liltotto had also arrived with Sabrina's teddy bear aswell, Sabrina noticed the bag containing levofloxacin IV, but she focused more on her teddy bear, she looked at both her hands, her left hand was held by her mother and her right hand by her sister, she wanted to hold her sisters hand and decided to let go of her mothers hand and tried to put it upwards, indicating she wanted her teddy bear.
her arm was heavy and it was painful to move it but she didn't care, Liltotto noticed how badly she wanted her teddy, she thought it was kind of cute, she went over to Sabrina and placed it in her arm, resting besides her, Sabrina was happy with this, she had wanted her teddy for quite some time now, she saw Isshin preparing the IV needle, and she was a bit scared over the big needle.
Bambietta noticed how scared she was, and calmed her down by cooing Sabrina and caressed her hair head with her hand, Isshin stuck the needle into her arm, quickly while she was already occupied paying attention to Bambietta, Isshin saw that Sabrina became scared, and decided to do it quickly before she noticed, and it was successful. Sabrina looked at Isshin like she waited for the IV needle but was surprised to see it was already injected into her.
Isshin rolled down the button on the IV line and it started to drip into her body, Ryuken just arrived aswell, having finished several test already.
"Done already?" Kisuke asked.
"All i had to do was to add a chemical to the water in glasses, i see you already started treatment." Ryuken replied noticing the IV bags.
"And?" Ausilia asked anxiously, the room was silent, Ernst, Bambietta and Ausilia prayed for the best.
"Good diagnosis Kisuke, you were spot on, it was a positive, regardless we only have a start now, when she needs to urinate we will take a urin sample and test her body to make sure it is Legionnaires disease." Ryuken replied, the worst wasn't over yet but atleast they had something to go on.
"So we just wait until she has to go pee-pee then." Kisuke said with a smile smacking open his fan.
Ansbach Military Base
The A.N.U had stormed the base, the forces didn't put up any resistance, the entire army knew who the A.N.U was from the reports directly out of Silbern, and they didn't dare to go in their way, the general there was quickly arrested by the A.N.U and was to be sent back to Silbern. Military command had placed the entire force in the base under house arrest and awaiting investigation, the general knew he had fucked up big time, he learned just recently the name of the grand mistress and tried to pull out, trying to call his friend in Ansbach village, the mayor, but he didn't answer, when he tried a second time the A.N.U stormed into the room before he could make the call.
"You son of a bitch..." The A.N.U officer said.
"You knew who the grand mistress was and yet you allowed this to happen, you are aware that the grand mistress and his majesty will have you executed for this right?" Another officer said.
The general knew his time was limited, he would not get off easily from this one.
"We will transport you back to Silbern, where you will await his majesty's judgement." The officer said as they picked him up.
"This is foxtrot 17, foxtrot 14 through 24 has joined up, assuming guard positions!" Foxtrot 17 said over the radio,
"This is command! Copy that, guard the gate, ensure no access to Silbern." Command said.
"Roger!" Foxtrot 17 replied over the radio
The officer picked up the radio and called in their intentions.
"Foxtrot 2 to command! We are commencing prisoner transport." The officer said over the radio.
"Copy, foxtrot 20 through 24 will secure a perimiter, foxtrot 1,2,3,4 and 5 will be on prisoner escort, rest of you continue with your current assignments." Command said.
"Copy." The officer said as he took the radio out of his hand.
"Well you heard them, let's get a move on, get up you asshole!" The officer said to the general.
"I believe i still outrank you major!" The general said.
"Not anymore." The officer said as he punched the general in the face.
Silbern Infirmary
Everyone in the room was just hoping for the best for the time being, eventually Sabrina had to use the bathroom and showed the indications for it, she didn't know she was urinating in a tube.
"Just go in the tube, it will reach the bag attached to the bed." Ryuken said.
Sabrina did as she was told and let the liquid go, Isshin changed the bag after she was done and took it out for testing. A soldat came into the room and had something to report.
"Your majesty, grand mistress, general Olivoph Baumenn has been arrested and brought to Silbern by command of the Oberbefehl des Kaisers." The soldat said.
"Very well, bring him down here." Ichigo ordered.
"Oberbefehl des Kaisers?" Kisuke asked, wondering what it meant.
"It means supreme command of the emperor, it is located here in Silbern, and is the command and control center for all Quincy forces and additional command and control centers, the entire military of the Wandenreich is controlled from there. We just call it the O.D.K, some just call it the Oberbefehl." Liltotto said.
"Ahh i see." Kisuke said surprised over the name.
A man was brought in by the A.N.U, Sabrina got scared seeing him, everyone knew that this was the man responsible for letting the mayor roam free.
"Your majesty, Basterbines." The general said nonchalantly.
"It is grand mistress to you dickhead." Liltotto said.
"Oh really, i never would have guessed." The general said without any sense of respect.
The A.N.U punched him to the floor and beat him for his lack of respect, it was not permitted, after the beating a A.N.U officer pulled out his gun and shoved it into the general's mouth, effectively silencing him.
"The A.N.U aren't known for inviting people over for cookies you moron." Candice said as she entered the room, throwing a threatening look to the general.
"We heard that you found your family, though some unfortunate incident has happened, we're sorry to hear that Bambi." Meninas said as she looked at Sabrina.
"So this is your sister?" Candice asked.
"Yeah." Bambietta said.
"She's cute." Meninas said adoring the little girl.
"She looks like a mini version of you in a sense." Candice said.
"No shit." Liltotto said.
Bambietta was a bit surprised over this, she didn't see the similarities, even though everyone else could.
"So what do we do with him?" Candice asked looking at the general.
"I'll let Bambi decide." Ichigo replied.
"Take him outside and execute him, he is a bad example of an officer and what our army represents." Bambietta said.
"Are you sure that's not your personal anger speaking?" Ryuken pointed out.
"Hey i'm a professional." Bambietta said pointing at herself with her thumb.
"Suuuuuure." Liltotto said in disbelief.
"I heard that." Bambietta replied.
They were silenced by a couple of laughters, both coming from Kisuke and Ichigo.
"Hey what's so funny?" Bambietta asked.
"No it's just things have calmed down a bit, after a lot of tension you kind of get little laughter." Ichigo said containing his laughter.
"Anyways, i do not disagree to executing him, but i believe a public execution with firing squad would serve as a good example towards how we deal with corruption, we will take the town mayor to the wall at the same time and execute them both, aswell as any other member of the corruption ring in Ansbach." Ichigo said.
"Hmm... yeah maybe that sends a better message." Bambietta replied.
"So much for not having personal anger." Liltotto replied with a deadpan.
"Can you really blame her? If it was my sister i would have tore this bastard a new one already then tortured him to death." Ichigo replied seriously.
"You have a sister too your majesty?" Ernst asked.
"Two." Ichigo responded.
"Correct me if i'm wrong, but it was my understanding that one of these was your father or am i incorrect?" Ernst asked.
"Yeah the one that left with your daughter's urin that is better suited for being a nurse then a doctor, that's the one." Ichigo said, much to Ryuken's amusement, though Bambietta and the chancellors present sweatdropped, so did Kisuke.
"I see." Ernst replied with a smile.
Ichigo went over to the general and grabbed his stars and ripped them off his shoulders, along with any indication that he is part of the military or an officer, in the end all that was left was just a naked officers uniform. Much to the Basterbines and the A.N.U's delight.
"Anyways, throw the scumbag down in our cells, put seki-seki on him so he is unable to use his abilities, we'll execute him later, and get the other units to arrest that mayor too!" Ichigo ordered.
"Yes your majesty." The soldats said as the carried the general of to the dungeons.
"Ichi-nii." Karin said as she came to the infirmary.
"Speaking of the devil here comes one of them now." Ichigo replied.
"What's that supposed to mean, i've been looking everywhere for you!" Karin replied annoyed.
"Nothing." Ichigo replied.
"I'll tell mom if you are rude." Karin said with a smirk, causing Ichigo to sweat.
"Sorry..." Ichigo replied.
"Anyways speaking of mom, she's here, i heard that the old fart is here too?" Karin said gettin even more sweatdrops from her choice of words.
"Yeah, he's a little busy!" Ichigo replied pointing at Sabrina, Karin hasn't noticed her before, but she saw Bambietta holding her hand.
"You know her Bambi?" Karin asked.
"She's my sister." Bambietta replied.
"Ohh? You found your family then?" Karin replied looking at the two unfamiliar faces.
"Yeah." Bambietta replied with a smile.
"That's nice, so what happened to your sister?" Karin asked.
"She's gotten very sick." Bambietta replied, causing Karin to feel sad.
"Oh, sorry." Karin replied weakly.
"I'm sure she'll be up and going in no time with Kisuke, Ryuken and your father here." Bambietta said with a smile.
"Our old fart? Wouldn't he serve better as a nurse?" Karin asked Ichigo.
"Why do you think we asked him over?" Ichigo replied.
Ryuken was struggling to contain his laughter, everyone else just looked comically on.
Ansbach Village
"Foxtrot 10 through 13, a warrant for the arrest of the mayor from his majesty has come to light, you are instructed to move inwards into the village and arrest him. 112th division is prepared to provide assistance if needed and are on standby." Command said
"Foxtrot 10 through 13 copies, we are moving in." The A.N.U officer said as he left his post.
The A.N.U closed in on the village center when they meet a group of Milita soldiers.
"Hey who are you? It's past curfew time!" A militia soldier said.
Light quickly shot out from the pistols, no sound was heard, and the militia was dead except one who was hit 3 times in the chest, who screamed out in alarm, the rest of the milita heard it.
"Damn, so much for silence." The officer said.
"Hey what's going on here? Who the hell are you?" A militia officer asked as he shot one of the A.N.U soldats with a heilig pfeil.
"Command, this is foxtrot 10 through 13, we have been comprimised and are taking fire, enemy reinforcements are closing in." The soldat said into the radio.
"I asked, who the hell are you guys?" The militia officer once more yelled.
"Command to foxtrot 10 through 13, you are permitted to expose your unit, order them to stand down or reinforcements from the rest of the Wandenreich will appear, you are also authorized to make clear of your intentions to arrest the mayor, also warn them that attacking the A.N.U is treason and punishable by death." Command said.
"If you won't answer i'll force it out of you!" The officer said.
"We are from the Abteilung für Nachrichtendienste und Überwachung, A.N.U for short, we are the Wandenreich secret police and under command of the new emperor and the grand mistress, attacking us is treason, stand down or the military will be sent in to deal with you, per the orders of his majesty the emperor directly, your mayor is to be arrested and brought before him!" The A.N.U officer yelled.
"A.N.U? Secret police? Yeah right, show me this army then." The militia officer yelled in amusement.
The A.N.U officer made himself shown, he took the radio, the Militia officer noticed it was military issued, he had seen those radios from the nearby base, he was surprised.
"Command, the militia doesn't seem to want to back down. Requesting military reinforcements." The A.N.U officer said with a smirk, causing the militia officer to widen his eyes.
"This is command! Copy that! 112th division stationed outside Silbern is being dispatched, prepare for a schatten gateway outside the city, per the orders of his majesty emperor Ichigo Kurosaki and Grand mistress Bambietta Basterbine he is to be apprehended at all costs for his actions, all foxtrot units, the militia is considered hostile, execute them on sight!" Command said.
The militia officer was shocked, these men weren't lying, and a division? The militia officer knew what a division was, it was a military unit consisting of 10.000 to 25.000 men, and they only had around 123 militia soldiers, that was closer to a company in military terms, if their reinforcements came in they would turn this village upside down, the militia officer knew he had to call them off somehow, but he was just too loyal to the mayor.
"Warn the mayor, now!" The militia officer said to one of his soldiers, as he prepared to shot down the A.N.U officer with a heilig pfeil.
The A.N.U officer quickly went behind cover but was hit and injured, the other units fired back quickly, to avoid them coming any closer.
Ansbach Mayors Residence
The militia soldier stormed into the building into the dining room where the mayor was eating with his wife and two sons.
"What is the meaning of this interruption?!" The mayor asked angry over having his meal interrupted.
"I'm sorry sir, but we have an emergency!" The militia soldier said before he knelt down.
"Then fix it!" The mayor ordered.
"But sir, it's about the new emperor and his grand mistress, they have ordered your arrest and are dispatcing a division to kill the militia and take the town with force, a new unit, the Wandenreich secret police is already here, we managed to stop them and are fighting them close to the city center." The militia soldier said.
"What? What are you talking about?" The mayor asked in shock.
"I have heard about this A.N.U" an officer said behind the mayor.
"Yes?" The mayor asked.
The officer explained what they were through the rumors he heard from the soldiers at the closeby base.
"What!?" The mayor responded in a fury.
"There is more sir..." The soldier hesitantly said.
"Yes?" The mayor asked.
"The name of the emperor is Ichigo Kurosaki, and the grand mistress is Bambietta..." The soldier stopped.
"Well spill it!" The officer ordered impatiently.
"Basterbine..." The soldier said.
The mayor and his family widen their eyes, those Basterbines? It can't be?
"Bambietta Basterbine huh... I thought she was dead..." The officer said.
"Do you know anything about this!?" The mayor asked in a rage.
"Yes, Bambietta Basterbine was lost during the Floriance riot, we all thought she was dead... Grand mistress you say? Then the Basterbines has the entire secret police and military watching their backs... this is trouble, especially because of Sabrina..." The officer said concerned.
"Can't you fix this? Call general Olivoph! He can probably do something!" The mayor ordered.
"No he can't if the emperor and the grand mistress has ordered this, he has no choice but to obey orders, if they are a secret police they probably know your connection to him already and have captured or executed him. I tried to call him up earlier today after he had tried to call us but the line was completely cut off, something that doesn't happen to military grade equipment easily, that is the only explanation i can think of." The officer said, shocking the mayor.
"So what do we do now dad?" The son that bullied Sabrina asked, he knew this was trouble.
"I'll think of something... Just shut up and-" The mayor was interrupted by gunshots, the 112th division had arrived.
"Which unit is that?" The officer asked.
"I believe it is the 112th division stationed outside Silbern from what i heard through the A.N.U radio chatter." The soldier said.
"The 112th division? That unit has 23.560 men in it!" The officer said annoyed.
"What? How many militia do we have?" The mayor asked with fear.
"Around 120 men." The officer said.
"We have to escape!" The mayor said.
"Where? Ansbach is completely surrounded by water, the 112th division surely controls the only bridge into the village! You demolished the others because you wanted to pester the fucking Basterbines for your idiot son's amusement and the population here, so no one could leave here without crossing the only bridge here!" The officer said over the mayor's stupidity.
"So there is no way out?" The mayor's wife asked in shock, she was trembling, all their greed and actions have finally caught up to them through the family they least expected.
"No there is not." The officer said.
The gunfire ended, the officer noticed it, the reiatsu from his militia have vanished and they were closing in on them, this was it.
"The militia has fallen, they are closing in." The officer said.
"Hide!" The wife yelled to her children.
"Where?" The second son asked.
"The basement!" The mayor said.
They went out of the dinning room quickly, they went into the main hall and the door was bashed open, in came the A.N.U with a lot of soldiers following right on their heels.
"Cease your actions immediately. You are all coming with us!" another A.N.U officer said as he prepared his pistol and aimed, the soldats aimed their rifles at them.
The mayor took his hands up into the air, alongside his family, the soldier and the officer, they were outnumbered, outgunned, outskilled, everything, they had lost!
To be continued
A/N: I know many of you might think of the word Oberkommando when thinking of supreme command, but Oberkommando means high command, and is usually only managing one branch of the army, Oberkommando der Wehrmacht was one example of it, since it only commanded the wehrmacht but not the kriegsmarine or the luftwaffe, as they had seperate command, Oberbefehl means supreme command in german, and the Oberkommando is a branch in a lower rank than Oberbefehl.
Sabrina is going to become a major character of this story and will be mentioned a lot and used a lot, as she will have a major role to play in this story on the sidelines.
I don't want to write much about Ichigo's training and will jump over those moments, since i do not want to reveal any abilities or capabilities just yet
