Well, I don't have a lot of homework right now, so I can afford to do other things.

I will not lie, writing this chapter was not the first thing that occurred to me, but I have certainly felt sorry for unfinished stories, so this will not be one of them, I will take my will and continue writing, always forward, even if I make mistakes I know I will improve.

I won't put any more padding on this.

Bleach does not belong to me.

Is it really necessary to clarify it in all the chapters?

Chapter 18: Sigma

Third-person.

Things in soul society started to go wrong, not because of a traitor or Hollows, but because of something much more mundane.

Illness, the streets of the Sereitei where a large number of spirits walked, drank, trained, sang, suddenly they began to be less.

In the midst of days with the bright sun, several were reported sick, this disease was severe, too exhausted, with fever.

Some of them turned pale.

The truth is that the society of souls has never had such a worrying epidemic ... And this, this would not be a normal one.

Communication line.

Angelica - Division 2

- So these are the progress of the Ryoka? - Soi fon's calm voice was replicated through the line.

The dark-haired man replied - Exactly, I am surprised with how fast he seems to generate his reiatsu after USE, I will have to teach him to control his reiatsu so that it does not saturate his camouflage -

In his thoughts the cobalt-haired girl agreed, her thoughts on this Ryoka have not been much different over the years.

Disgustingly powerful, incredible potential, poor discipline, sloppy technique.

It was annoying to see a human reach that level, it shouldn't be possible.

That is why she was so attentive to him, only her dear Lady Yoruichi had noticed that she posed her eyes when he made a presence. She bothered her just like 100 years ago, she did not know why her teacher had trusted him, even so, suzumebachi and therefore a small part of the captain had some admiration for what she has achieved.

Out of simple curiosity the emperor decided to ask - And how are things going in the society of souls? -

She thought for a moment - Well, we're getting the hell out of a miserable illness -

Curiously, the black-haired asked - What are the symptoms? - and after hearing the symptoms from the captain the gulp, I take a deep breath feeling the air walking through her lungs and ask - The first to get infected were coming in your ship? -

With raised eyebrows the silver-eyed lady asks - Is there any reason for this question? -

Quickly respond - They are the same symptoms of the plague that hit us this season, keep your men vigilant because the dead can transform into Maledicti -

Hearing such words the Shinigami asked again - How is it possible that this disease came here? -

Shaking in his head (despite the fact that she didn't see it well) he replies - I don't know, I'll tell the LÄKARE to investigate possible transmissions on the island, but trust me, the last time you doubted this, 90 % of Bragoña's population ended up dead -

- What if we can't control the plague? - Soi fon had confidence in her and her men, but she was not arrogant with something that could affect the entire nation.

After a series of breaths the man in the charcoal jacket tells him - Prepare the welcome preparations, if not controlled the plague, we will go there on our ships, we will carry the antidote for the infected, information from the Maledicti, diplomats for the presentation and 5 legions -

- You will be welcome with open arms - Suzumebachi congratulate Soi fon for her joking

With a smile he replied - Well, our meeting was like this -

With Ichigo

Shamballa - Angelica

You could see the crowds walking through the gigantic streets of the city, entire families laughing, old cars traveling the roads like sparks, buildings with an architecture that wanted to emulate the finest architectural works with overflowing statues, sky with clouds that made heaven seem like a blue canvas with whitish figures.

And after eating in glamorous restaurants, Ichigo was walking with Karl, the emerald-eyed spirit took him with a person who carried out activities similar to the Shinigami, in addition to teaching him the control of his power.

As he walked away he began to think "I could never fully see the sereitei, nor will I ever fully see Shamballa?" and in his head zanjetsu replied "Well, if everything goes well the two cities will be seen by our eyes"

Shortly after that, a snort was heard "Yes, yes, very nice cities, but you cannot say that they are more interesting than the subject that this guy is going to teach us, he will certainly help us to become the most powerful"

With a frown and an annoying voice, the orange-haired chided him - Do not think for a moment that I will let you out so fast -

The hollow's laugh was as sinister as I remembered it - In that case, it would be best if you regain your strength, right now I grow faster than you -

Gritting his teeth, the half-breed knew he was right, after all he battled Byakuya and released the hollow, it didn't take long for him to almost take control of him.

Suddenly he raised his chocolate eyes and saw that they entered a mountain surrounded by emerald leaves, the sky was barely visible by the rays of light filtering through the thicket and suddenly he felt a presence.

He turned his head back, left, right, towards the branches, and in all he saw a blur of a shadow, feeling the danger Ichigo unsheathes his bastard sword, which was now the recipient of zanjetsu.

Focusing his senses on searching for this person's energy ribbons, in the short time he was here they decided to practice that and discovered that Angelica's tend to be a more reddish-orange color than the scarlet of the Shinigami.

And with that he could see how the figure finally appeared before them ... It was the one that dressed in feathers.

Its dark feathers swayed in the wind and covered its entire body, except this time its face was uncovered.

She was a woman in her fifties, some of her hair was pale brown, the rest were gray, her face contained a few wrinkles, and her eyes were slightly pale amber, but her gaze showed determination.

With a voice that sounded a little tired, she spoke to me - At last, they introduce us as it should. Ichigo Kurosaki I am Lena Von Karnsiter -

With a wave of his hand, Karl said to me - Well, it seems that you will no longer have to introduce yourself -

I relax the grip on her gun and the orange-haired man ask - Who is she? -

The German was going to speak but the feathered dress interrupted him - I am one of the members of the hunters, the hunters ... They were a group of soldiers specialized in exploration, although we have activities in the world of the living -

- They were? What happened? -

- Oh forgive me, I wanted to say they are, I am not very good in the Japanese language as you will notice - Ichigo noticed that quite quickly, the accent was quite marked although she could not say well where in the world she was.

- Yes, I see -

* Cough * * cough * the older woman coughed

Ichigo decided to ask - So they are like the Shinigami? -

She shook her head - We dedicate ourselves more in other areas - and a few seconds after saying that I continue - And these require the control of the Reiatsu, which for what I have been wasted as if it were a hose -

While scratching his head he replied - That's true, until now only I can store zanjetsu in a sword that is not my size -

With a laugh she turns to the legions coach - Will you stay to watch the training -

The emerald-eyed man replied - No, our men must continue training -

- Oh -

- Well, see you Ichigo and Lena -

The old woman took a breath, turned to Ichigo, and said, "Okay, let's get started, show me your energy as a shinigami! -

Sereitei

Days after

Through the trees, smears of the members of the 2nd squadron were seen chasing the trail of the newly resurrected Maledicti, for the information provided by their captain it was vitally important to prevent them from leaving the surroundings of the Seireitei.

- Hey! - A voice from his colleagues captured his attention - I found a group of them, I need help -

Quickly the Shinigami yelled "Let's go over there" and jumped towards the origin of the voice. In the middle of the forest they saw one of their own fighting against a group of these Maledicti, the dead from the flu turned in a twisted way to this life, they were still dressed in hospital robes, their pale appearance, eyes barely alive and his slow movements were noticeable.

With a nod they reached the flank of the Maledicti group and started cutting their stilt walkers, the blood no longer maintaining its crimson color was paler.

During that quarrel, one of the assassins heard an enchantment and when he turned around he was received with a reddish explosion that left him with his charred side when seeing this one of his companions cut a Maledicti in half and went towards his partner alone so that a sword now brimming with red pierced his chest.

The last of them found his leg bathed in blood, being cut by one of the many Maledicti, he was on the floor, with his sword raised but surrounded by other Maledicti, he could only see his companions dying shortly distance from him.

And a voice was heard

- Don't worry, you'll be back with them soon -

And when he turned everything he saw was in an electrical beam before falling.

…

Angelica

- In a matter of a few days, we will arrive, we are already embarking - Galen answered him through the communicator as he looked at his ships filling up with supplies, putting their weapons in position and some saying goodbye to their close ones, the boats are painted with a blue wave in the hulls and with a skeleton snake in the bow.

- Very well, we will continue to inform you of how much information we have to combat this threat - The cobalt-haired woman replied while looking at the group of men in front of her, her own were meditating and preparing mentally for this new danger, others looked distressed and those of the eleventh division furious.

These times would be one of many changes.

To

Be

Continued

Well, this is another complete chapter and one that unravels a certain mystery that started a good couple of chapters ago.

I am concerned that this suddenly feels very rushed, however, I feel that I have been getting too much background and little progress in this story, so I have decided that from here I focus much more on the story.

I hope you like this reading.

And ... we'll see each other in the next chapter.
