Chapter 369 Preparing for the Second Round

I don't own Bleach or any of the powers and gear used in this story.

Victor was at the park resting at a bench eating pizza.

"Man one more night and I am gone to the next round."Victor chuckles.

He and the rest of his team managed to get so many wins they are basically solid while be needs one win.

He then sees a hammer come down and he jumps to the sides and saw the bench get crushed.

He noticed there was no one here now.

"You know, I was enjoying a good pizza, but okay if you want to fight let's go."Victor looks to see a woman with red hair wielding the giant hammer.

"So what's your name?"Victor asked.

"Sally."She said.

"Okay Sally."He takes out his guns and Buck comes to his side."Let's go. Buck into the guns."He said making his spirit go inside them becoming shotgun like weapons with dog mouths at the front with them glowing orange color.

He shoots at her with the right gun making it shoot a ghostly dog head at her and she dodges it.

She swings her hammer around making Victor jump away.

"Not bad, your better than those wannabes."He said.

"Yeah, impressed."She smirks.

"You know I like a girl like you."He said surprising her."But gonna have to you down."He spins his guns and fired a big shot knocking her to a tree.

She grunts and gets up slowly."Not bad."

"Do I get a prize?"He asked.

"Forget it creep."She said.

"Not even a Kiss."He said.

"Impress me better."She walks away.

He stares at her leaving and said:"Not a perv, but she has a fine ass."

At the house

Hank was working on how they can get to the next step without being caught, he was sitting at a table looking at many examples.

"Well a plane could work."

He then heard a knock on the door and he goes to open it, he looks outside and sees no one before looking down to see a little girl with horns, she has white-lavender hair and blue eyes with a very cute and appealing appearance like something out of a movie or anime. Her clothes seem to look like a gothic lolita with a tribal theme style. She wears a white capelet with a fur collar, a pink blouse, a white frilly skirt, and pink doll shoes. She ties her hair into pigtails, each adorned with three dark blue beads.

"Oh hello there."He smiles at her.

They went inside and she was staring at him

"So..."He said.

"You, break up with Lady Tohru."She said.

"What?"He got confused.

"I know the truth, you seduce her with your… your body." The dragon girl accused.

He got shocked at what she said.

"Break up with her, right now!"She said.

"Hank I'm home."Tohru came in and saw the girl."Wait Kanna?!"

"Lady Tohru."She saw her.

Tohru was sitting next to Kanna.

"This girl is Kanna Kamui, she's an acquaint of mine." Tohru introduced Kanna.

"Figured."Hank said.

"Lady Tohru complete disappeared one day, so I came out here to find her."Kanna explained.

"I'm amazed you found this place."Tohru said to Kanna.

"I saw you breathe fire in the night last week, and I sense your magic."Kanna said.

"Oh yeah."Hank said.

He and Tohru went out training that day to practice his magic better since having a dragon at his side helps.

"Lady Tohru, why are you wearing that outfit. Please come home with me, I need you, Lady Tohru." Kanna begged.

"But why?" Kanna asked.

"Because… Because I'm in love with Hank!" Tohru confessed shocking Hank.

"What?!"He said.

"I knew it!" Kanna snapped.

She glares at him."I'll kill you."

She then starts to punch at him like a kid."Why you!"

"This is too cute."He said since it reminded him of Lily when she wanted candy.

She then got tired and Tohru said:"Kanna... You've become incredibly powerless haven't you?"

"Your the odd one Lady Tohru, mana purity is too low."Kanna said.

"Well this place uses more soul energy than many."He said."Wait if your dragons can't you just eat your element to get your energy back?"

Kanna then flinches since she didn't think about that.

"Also you can't go home then?"Hank said making her flinch again."Kanna why don't you tell us what happened."

"Well..."She said.

After she explained what happened.

"You got banished for a prank!"Hank said.

"Kanna always has a love of pratical jokes."Tohru said.

Hank felt bad and said:"Kanna if you don't have a place to go you can stay with us."

"You'll just use me as I heard about humans."She said.

"No I would never do that."He said patting her head.

She then has tears before hugging him making Hank hug her back.

"Also he was trained by Atlas Flame."Tohru said.

Kanna got shocked to hear that name."Lord Atlas."

"Yes, he was the one that taught me dragon slayer magic."Hank said and she understood.

The group came and they got surprised to see Kanna, but they had two other guests coming.

The group were all looking at the new trio of friends, they saw Spooky holding Nezuko and Kanna's hands with a smile.

"Okay they're just too cute together."Victor said.

"New friend."Spooky said.

"Friend?"Kanna looks at them and Nezuko nodded.

Then they all looked at them too cute together.

"Oh my god!"Yui faints.

"That should be a weapon."Zack said.

"Okay let's begin with the travel, Victor got his last win so we need to go to the next round, Crow told us we must go to the village that it's being held in."Draco said.

"Yes, it's called Patch Village, we have someone that can tell us where to find it."Alex said.

"Yes, let's go before someone comes after us."Leonidas said."Though it's too bad I can't see Jun once more since she left."

"Maybe you'll find her later."Aka said.

The group went out and they managed to find a plane they could take.

"This plane will do for now."Draco said.

"Yes, it will give us a way for safe travel."Leonidas said.

"Your going by plane."They saw a guy with long hair and wearing a cloak."I'm traveling with spirit control."

"Well... We can also do that, but it's simply a more tactical move of the enemy not noticing us."Leonidas smirks at him.

"Oh... So you want to trick the other shamans, it seems I got you guys wrong."He said.

Black Crow comes out."Hao!"

"Well well, Crow, looks like you became a guardian ghost, did you become like that because hate me?"Hao smiles at him.

"You better watch out with him, this is Hao, one of the most dangerous shamans."Crow said.

The group got ready to fight while Tohru protects the kids, then a giant arm comes towards them making them summon they're ghosts making most of them get pushed back until Stormtalon and Dragoon stops it with they're weapons making them struggle.

"Well a elemental."Hao looks at Stormtalon."A lightning one to be exact."

"We will not fall by the likes of you."Stormtalon said.

"Well then how about this."Hao said.

Spirit of fire then shoots a fire blast them making the group get pushed back, Draco summons a ice wall blocking most of it, but then it breaks.

Hank then saw a fire blast heading towards Tohru and the girls making him worried, he then jumps towards it and takes the blast.

"Well that's one down."Hao said.

Then he saw something that shocked him.

Hank then eats the fire and changes into dragon force with the red and yellow markings appear, then he gets covered in the flame form looking like Atlas Flame but more human.

"What?!"Hao said.

"Hell Flame Dragon's Roar!"He fires at the Spirit of Fire making shoot another fire blast.

They then clashed together before Hank said:"I will not give up!"He then overpowers it making the Spirit of fire get pushed back.

Hao looks at his spirit and then looking back at Hank who changes back to normal looking tired.

He then laughs and said:"That was amazing, you absorbed the fire from my spirit to power you up, I never seen that before, looks like you managed to harm it using it's own power but show me more."

Spirit of fire gets up and punches at them, they got ready before Recorder lifts a hand, then a portal opened and a red bone like arm came out grabbing the hand, Hao got surprised and saw it stopping the Spirit of fire's hand.

"Well... Looks like you got another spirit inside that portal that can stop it."Hao looks at the portal seeing two glowing Green eyes."Wait I know, the Darkling, I heard of that spirit, it's a dark demonic one that feeds on the souls of humans."

"What?"The other members of Team Light got surprised looking at it.

"Which is the only one that has a chance against my Spirit of Fire, you guys are very interesting, hope you can show me more, maybe then you'll get the Darkling under control."Hao said making the Spirit of Fire pull back it's fist and the Darkling's arm goes inside the portal.

"Oh great, now he must hungry."Terroreyes said.

"Master Hao."They then saw a kid with a group of followers at Hao's side.

"Don't worry we're going, I just found a interesting group to see in the future."He then has the Spirit of Fire to take them all away.

Team Light watches them leave Hank said:"We'll be ready."

"Amazing, Hank managed to use Atlas own fire."Tohru said.

Kanna just stares at him with stars coming out.

"What is that light?"Victor covers his eyes.

"That's Kanna."Tohru said.

"Okay everybody inside before they come back."Draco said.

They went inside the place and took off, Hank was sitting at seat with Kanna at his side, he looks at Recorder who was in the next row.

"How did you get that spirit?"

"We found him a long time ago, he said if we payed him we would receive his help."Recorder said.

"You had to be pick such a dangerous spirit to help."Hank said.

Kanna was looking at him and he pats her head.

"Hank don't I get a pat on the head."Tohru said.

"Later."He said.

They traveled through the sky and Draco was at the pilot's seat driving the plane, he then thinks to himself. Hao is a strong foe, we'll have to be careful.

Note: Hao appeared and he pushed the group back, it took Hank to use the Spirit of fire's own flames to get stronger and Recorder to reveal his trump card the Darkling to counter a attack.
