Hey guys, Flipkicks here and today I bring you is a new chapter of "The Queen's Glaive" thank you guys for checking out the story and what you all thought of the previous chapter.

As I was writing this (1/27 to 2/3), while I was working yesterday, news spread out that one of the Greatest Basketball players of All Time Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna 'Gigi' Bryant along with her friends family, her coach and the pilot died from a freak helicopter incident. Please keep your friends/family close to you as you never know when it's their time to join God or which religion you follow will want them to be by his or her side in heaven.

Since I have been adding a bit more fantasy into the story, I"ve been thinking of Ichigo's story going be about War compare to the Heroes with them mainly focusing on the waves but it's an idea for now.

Review:

VGBlackwing: If you have read the previous chapter, Ichigo still retains his Zanpakuto. I never stated that Ichigo will get other Zanpakuto names. That is perhaps the dumbest shit someone has said in a review. I'm sorry if I had to say this but it has to be said.

Emman214: That won't happen until sometime way later since the story happens before the 4 heroes get summoned.

Have a Little Feith: I noticed after did a second look at it. Plus I added a bit more at the end of the chapter to hopefully have a more natural pause-end.

The Peaceful Warrior: Eclair Seaetto (Shield Hero)
Magical Songstress: Dorothea (Fire Emblem Three Houses/Faubley born, Melromarc raised)
White Mage Demi-Human: Y'shtola Rhul (FF 14/ Q'ten Lo Born, Siltvelt Raised)
Mercenary for Hire: Erza Scarlet (Fairy Tail/Zeltoble)
Wandering Warrior: Lyndis 'Lyn' (Fire Emblem/ Melromarc}
Vengeful Mage: Sonya (Fire Emblem/Melromarc)
The Aspiring Mage: Jaina Proudmoore (World of Warcraft/Unknown Location)

Time to pick up where we last left off.

I do not own any characters involve or series in general.


Recruiting
Part 1

Melromarc, Castle
War Room

As the group enters the war room, both Rhea and Mirelia tell Ichigo what the Waves of Calamity are and that makes him rather cautious of these coming waves of calamity.

The Waves of Calamity are a mysterious phenomenon that occurs every so often in the world and warranting the summoning of the Four Saint Heroes, to confront them.

"So no one knows how it started?" Ichigo asks the ladies, "And no one knows how to stop it either?" Mirelia shakes her head as do both Rhea and Celica shake their heads as well, making Ichigo sigh as this could be linked to him being summoned here in this world. 'Great...' He mutters in his head, scratching the back of his head as this could be troublesome for him.

"For all we know, these Waves have started back in the early ages of men. Each wave starts small to increasingly more difficult, with our count at 10 so far." Mirelia stated to Ichigo.

"10?"

"We don't know if that is true though." Celica added and continues, "But these Waves happen every few months and we all are going to need the {Cardinal Heroes} in these times Lady Mirelia."

Mirelia nods her head and turns her attention to her knights, "Leave us." All of the knights then leave the room, leaving the four of them alone. "I presume that all parties involve here are open to talking?" She asks both Rhea and Celica to nod their heads, "Hopefully the other nations are open to us having a pact in terms of summoning the {4 Cardinal Heroes}."

"Uh mind telling me on what the hell's going on?" Ichigo interrupts them since he doesn't know what's going on with this situation. "Since you all dragged me into this mess, I better know what's going on and if I find that there are some secrets you all are keeping from me, you will regret it." Ichigo threatened, still annoyed that none of them have told him anything.

"You threatening us?" Mirelia says coldly to her Glaive.

"It's more of a promise," Ichigo replied coldly as well as he exerts immense pressure coming out of him and they all could feel it. A dark presence begins to fill the room and they all see a figure standing right behind him, The Figure has long straight hair, reaching down to his waist, and a Hollow hole, smaller than his previous one, decorated with markings stretching from the hole across his chest and shoulders. He has retractable claws on his fingertips and toes, small, furry red tufts, two starting from his collarbone and stretching around his neck and one each on his wrists and ankles, and white skin. In this new form, he has a different Hollow mask. It covers its entire head, and its markings are different, for it has four spike-shaped marks, two of them stopping by the forehead and the other two stretching past the eyes and teeth, going past his chin and joining with the marks on his chest. Small marks are resembling a heart, but with the top and bottom open, extending from the inner corners of his eyes. The mask features two long forward-pointing horns, with black strips extending from their center towards the tips.

The three women couldn't believe that something that danger is lurking inside of Ichigo. They all sense a 'murderous' presence from that 'monster' staring at them.

"Either fill me on what's going on or I destroy this kingdom. Been following around your knights since I got here and I got more questions than answers here." Ichigo says in an irritated tone, "If I'm to be your damn Glaive and be able to get back home, I better get some god damn answers."

Since she doesn't have much of a choice, Mirelia decided to give her Glaive at least that since she did summon him without any warning.

"Very well Ichigo but please don't refrain from blowing our kingdom." Ichigo 'brought' back his 'shadow' back into himself but retains his golden eyes.

"If I get screwed and I do find out it was you, I will go after you if you all decided to betray me." He swore as his eyes turn back brown eyes. "Keep fucking me and you will all regret it."

The three women nodded their heads as they honestly didn't know what they just got themselves into, especially Mirelia since she didn't know that of him.

"So, mind telling me what's going on?" Ichigo asks the Queen.

"We've started seeing signs of the Waves of Calamity about to begin." Mirelia started, "There have been signs with earthquakes southeast of the kingdom, monsters causing havoc in the east."

"The neighboring townsfolk have also been saying that a three-headed beast was spotted near that Demi-human territory." Rhea added, "While we do have a strained relationship with Siltvelt, we should at least give them a warning."

"But we still have to locate the beast." Celica retorted, "While again we should tell them but we need to find the Beast."

"But if we don't even warn them and they knew that we have heard of the damn beast, they will think you all withheld critical info that could have saved many lives." Ichigo retorted as well, "If we give them a warning that there's a three-headed beast in their forest or by them, that'll give them time to get prepared to deal with it."

"I'll send some knights-"

"Yeah, not happening." Ichigo interrupts Mirelia, "Those knights of yours are incompetent. You say that they all are seasoned veterans that served for years in the Kingdom but when some of those knights I've faced in the courtyard, none of them stood a chance against someone like me. Give me some documents about some good fighters. Don't care if they specialize from Magic, swords, lances, or anything. I'll be leading my group Mirelia."

She sighs as he isn't going to make this easy for her but then again, she does need to gain his trust so she might as well let this one slide.

"Very well Ichigo. I'll send word to my advisors and they'll give you documents tomorrow morning." He nods his head and leaves the War Room, leaving the three women in the room.

"Seems to know how to handle a situation like this," Rhea commented.

"Very and if what he says is true, we might as well go what he says Queen Mirelia," Celica added as well, thinking that Ichigo knows what he's doing.

"For now I'll allow it since I do need to gain his trust and hope, we aren't going to be at odds with each other." Mirelia replies, sitting on the lead chair and thinking of what should she do next, "Maester Lock." One of the castles Maisters enters the room, "I'm going to need you and the other Maesters to make a list of candidates that are suitable with my Glaive."

"At once your grace." Maester Lock then heads out of the War Room and makes his way to the basement.

"Mind telling us more about your Glaive Lady Mirelia," Rhea asks her since she has been quite interested in the orange-haired Glaive.

"Well from what I've gathered from his {Bio}, it's quite interesting."

Name: Ichigo Kurosaki
Occupation: High School Student
Age: 17
Family: Isshin Kurosaki (Father), Masaki Kurosaki (Mother, Deceased), Yuzu and Karin Kurosaki (Sisters)
Marital Status: In a Relationship with Orihime Inoue
Heritage: Human, Soul Reaper-Quincy-Hollow Hybrid
Homeland: Karakura Town, Japan
Bio: After the death of his mother, Ichigo vowed to be a protector to his family, specifically to his younger twin sisters as they all have something based on their mother. One faithful day, Ichigo would run into a Soul Reaper/Death God/Shinigami named Rukia Kuchiki and he would awaken his Soul Reaper powers. He would face many trials from a traitorous Soul Reaper Aizen, Two Arrancars Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez and Ulquiorra Cifer, and the Quincy King/God Yhwach. Each stronger than the last and he overcame those odds with his friends being by his side.

"A Quincy God?" Celica raises an eyebrow, rather confused as to where he came from.

"Seems that his world was involved in the afterlife." Rhea added, "While there are things that are different from ours but there are similar things like Death Gods."

"The Grim Reaper more or less." Mirelia, "Seems we do have a wildcard mixed in."

"The upcoming {4 Cardinal Heroes} and now we have someone that's a God." Celica added, "No wonder I felt a cold chill with that 'Beast. Seems he truly is a Death God."


With Ichigo

With Ichigo excusing himself from the meeting, he decided to explore the castle walls. He wanted to get away from the whole political mess that they could be discussing since it was the last thing he wanted to get involved with.

'Seems so fucking ridiculous.' He says in an annoyed tone, 'Never thought I get this annoyed with some royalty BS.' His thoughts would later find him outside of the castle walls, seeing the now night sky and the stars above. Leaning in, he sees the townsfolk all heading into their respective homes.

He takes in this nice change of scenery. He hears the people chatting down below, the knights walking around in their metal suits and the birds that are still up chirping away. While vastly different from his own world, he could appreciate the change from modern times to the Medieval times.

As he looks at the town, something catches his ears.

~Heavy as her crown maybe, she will lead us to glory...To brighter dawn, we shall carry on, Hail Mirelia.~

'Someone singing at this late hour?' He raises an eyebrow and wonders who could be singing. Closing his eyes, he begins to sense the faint presence out the castle and in an instant, he Shunpo'ed his way to where the Songstress might be.

Ichigo found himself being on a tree and wonders if this world might cause him trouble on finding the right presence.

'Okay...got get the hang of this world and my own powers...' A branch snaps and makes Ichigo fall on his back, making him groan. "Okay...that hurt." He says as he rubs his back.

"Um hello?" He looks up to see a late teen with brown hair, bright emerald eye, wearing a black and golden outfit with the bottom button clipped but leaving two of them unbuttoned, exposing a black shirt that shows a bit of cleavage. A black skirt with gold lining, black leggings thigh-high heels. "You need help with something?"

He then picks himself up and dusts himself off with the leaves coming off of him.

"No its just that I heard someone singing in these parts." Ichigo started, "I'm sorry if I scared or startled you." He quickly apologizes but the teen waves it off.

"No worries uh...what was your name?"

"Ichigo. Ichigo Kurosaki, apparently Mirelia's Glaive." That catches her ears, if what he says is true, then he could really help her out but she would need to verify if he is indeed Queen Mirelia's Glaive.

"Really? You're Queen Mirelia Melromarc's Glaive?" She asks him.

"Got summoned here and next thing I know, I met the Queen and her 'associates' or whatever they are and here I am." Ichigo briefly stated, "Uh what's your name?"

"Oh I'm Dorothea, I'm originally coming from the neighboring continent to the west, the Adrestian Empire but I ended up here since I was disowned by my noble of a father, leaving my mother and me to fend for ourselves but my mother died years ago." Ichigo didn't expect to hear that from the first meeting.

"I'm sorry." He quickly apologizes since he again didn't expect her to give him some big information about herself. "I didn't mean to bring up some bad memories." He felt bad, even though it was out of nowhere.

"It's not your fault. I said things to someone that I barely just met but for some reason, I can feel at ease." Dorothea says with a sincere smile on her face. "So what do you think of my singing?" She asks him, curious about what he has to say.

"Have to admit, I find it beautiful." He replies back, "While I'm not a critic on someone's talent in the music scene but I can feel it's very soothing." Dorothea smiled to know that someone likes her singing ability. "You ah rolled in an academy?" He asks her since he sees an emblem on her hat.

"Yes, the Melromarc Academy of the Arts. Even though I'm a mere commoner, my Singing talents were able to secure me a chance to make something in the opera and I end up getting the titles of {Songstress of Melromarc} and {Diva of M.A.A}."

"Oh..." Is all he says since he gets the idea that she is trying to find a suitable partner but isn't able to. "Must have the men in the pawn of your hands."

She chuckles since it is true, "Yes but no one has caught my eye but I don't know why but maybe, you could take care of me?" He could feel her teasing him but he has gotten used to it from Yoruichi, Rangiku, and Kisuke teasing him all the time so he's quite used to it.

"I can tell you're teasing me but that's not gonna work." She again chuckles as she playfully puts her hands up.

"Seems I've been caught."

He chuckles this time as the two of them begin talking more and more but while the two of them are talking, one of Mirelia's Shadow monitors the whole situation between the Songstress and the Glaive.

"So Ichigo, what will you do? Stay with the Queen who has all the resources here and can find you a way back home or leave?" Dorothea asks him, trying to figure out more about him and his character.

"Who knows." He leans on the tree and looks up at the sky, "I'm still conflicted. Part of me wants to just leave but I don't know how to get back home but on the other hand, I do need her help."

"Maybe I can help you. While I'm no one special, I could assist you with magic during your journey." Ichigo looks at her, raising an eyebrow as she joins him by sitting on the tree as well. " Even though I may be a Songstress but I am also skilled in terms of magic from the basic elements to the more advanced elements. So would you have me as part of your party?"

"Yeah but uh...how do you form a party?" She sweat drops from the comment and begins to help Ichigo on forming a party system with her.

"And there." Ichigo looks at the corner left top and sees her name, LVL, and MP.

"Looks like you're going to be stuck with me for now on Ichigo."
