Scene Change: Drákōn Workshop
Kisara and Valiona opened their eyes. They were standing in a world filled with yellow lines.
"Oh. I didn't expect you two to be here?" Someone said. Kisara and Valiona turned to see someone sitting down on a chair. She appears to be a young woman with long eyelashes, snow white smooth skin, ruby color eyes, luscious lips, beautiful slender legs, a remarkable large bust, a well curvy figure, and longhorns on her head. She has waist-length pink hair with a silver shine. She tends to wear a light-colored dress resembling a robe of some sort.
"Who are you?" Kisara asked.
"My name is Navi and welcome to the Drákōn Workshop." Navi greeted.
"I assume you are a guide for new dragons who learned how to enter the Drákōn Workshop." Kisara guessed.
"Correct…for now," Navi replied.
"So, tell us how does this place works?" Valiona asked. "Our master is out there stalling against the Skeletal Dragons." Green orbs began to float around them. They saw that each green orb had a sketch of a different piece of armor.
"The Drákōn Workshop acts like an archive of different armor pieces and weapons different dragons created for their partner. You must choose the best-fitting parts from all the sketches and put them all together." Navi explained.
"I see," Kisara said as she brought out Ryūgonken.
"Ohh. A weapon not made by a dragon. Interesting." Navi thought as she continued to float on her chair.
"Ryūgonken. I know I am not your master, but I need to see Draconic Regalia. So, we can reforge you for our master." Kisara thought. Ryūgonken glowed red as a pillar of fire surrounded Kisara and Valiona. Soon the pillar disappeared to reveal Draconic Regalia floating in front of them. Kisara let go of Ryūgonken as it also floated beside it. Kisara and Valiona stared at the flood of armor sketches as they let their imagination run wild.
"This armor we're reforging is a symbol of our bond." Kisara thought.
"This blade was a warrior's tool to slay our kin. This time, this blade is a protector's tool to slay those who defy our master." Valiona thought.
"Interesting." Navi thought as she observed the armor and sword as it began to be surrounded by crimson, red, black, white and blue light.
Scene Change: Outside
Ichigo continued to attack the Skeletal Dragon; despite knowing his attacks didn't harm it. During this time, the other Skeletal Dragon killed more dragons, creating more Skeletal Dragons in the process.
"Hurry Kisara. Valiona." Ichigo thought. He saw a Skeletal Dragon charging at a building. Ichigo heard screaming from that building. Ichigo sighed as he shunpō'ed in front of the building.
"Getsuga Tenshō!" Ichigo shouted as he attacked the Skeletal Dragon, pushing it away from the building. Ichigo turned to the residence in the building.
"Get away!" Ichigo yelled. They nodded and ran away from Ichigo. Ichigo spotted Rebecca and Cú Chulainn. They landed beside him.
"Any luck on defeating the Skeletal Dragons?"
"No. Even the Headmistress's attacks can destroy one." Ichigo looked to see the Skeletal Dragon from before returned with a few more Skeletal Dragons.
"Can you still keep going?" Ichigo asked as he gathered his reiatsu into Kokugatsu.
"I'm not the Student Council Presidents just because of looks," Rebecca replied as she brought out her Gáe Bolg.
"Master!" They turned to see Kisara and Valiona standing there with a large sword in their hand.
"Kisara. Valiona." Ichigo said as he ran to them.
"We have it ready for you," Valiona said. They handed Ichigo the new blade. It appears to be a large western broadsword. Most of the broadsword is crimson and silver. The right edge of the blade was black with red accents while the left edge of the blade was white with blue accents.
"During the reforging process, the blade took a new name," Kisara said. Ichigo nodded as closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Ichigo focused on the blade in his hand, trying to learn about the blade in his hand.
"Appear before me." Crimson reiatsu began to gather around Ichigo. "Forged by the Maiden of Light…" White reiatsu joined the crimson reiatsu. "Forged by the Maiden of Darkness…" Black reiatsu joined the crimson and white reiatsu. "Glare at all creation and display your ferocious might!" The collected reiatsu formed a giant pillar of reiatsu around Ichigo. "Dragon of Chaos, BAHAMUT!" Ichigo yelled. A pair of large black and white wings destroyed the pillar of energy to reveal Ichigo wearing new armor. Ichigo's head is in a crimson helmet-shaped, similar to a Dragon's head, with silver horns. Ichigo's right arm is covered in white armor with blue accents. Ichigo's right-hand ends with Kisara's head. While Ichigo's left arm is covered in black armor with red-orange accents. Ichigo's left-hand end with Valiona's head. On Ichigo's back, he has a pair of wings, one from Kisara and another from Valiona. Ichigo's chest and body is covered in crimson armor with golden and green accents (1).
"ROAR!" A small group of Skeletal Dragon flew towards Ichigo. Ichigo raised his left hand. Kisara's head opened up. Blueish white energy began to gather around the open mouth.
"Holy Retribution!" Ichigo yelled as he fired a blast of blueish white energy at the skeletal dragons. The skeletal dragons were instantly destroyed by the attack. Everyone looked at Ichigo as he lowered his hand. All the other skeletal dragons flew towards Ichigo. Both Kisara's head and Valiona's head opened up as two blades shot off from them. Kisara's blade was golden white with a blue edge. Valiona's blade was black with a red edge. Ichigo dives towards the flying skeletal dragons and began to attack them. The army of skeletal dragons stood no chance as Ichigo tore them apart with each swing of his blade. Ichigo killed the last of the skeletal dragons. Ichigo landed to stare at the final Skeletal Dragon, the original one.
"ROAR!" The Skeletal Dragon opened its mouth as black energy began to gather in its mouth. Ichigo had the blades disappeared as he pointed both of their heads at the Skeletal Dragon. Kisara's head and Valiona's head also began to gather energy. The Skeletal Dragon fired a blast of energy towards Ichigo.
"Chaotic Retribution!" Ichigo yelled as he fired his attack. The bluish-white beam combined with the reddish-black flames. The two fused to one giant attack. Skeletal Dragon's attack was easily destroyed by Ichigo's attack. The Skeletal Dragon stood there as it was engulfed in Ichigo's attack. Ichigo flew back to Kisara and Valiona.
"How was the armor?" Kisara asked.
"It felt good. It could sense elements from Ryūgonken, Great Red, and you two." Ichigo said.
"I also could sense holy energy from you Kisara," Ichigo commented. Kisara nervously smiled.
"During the reforging process, I took a little holy energy from Longinus and fused it in me and Bahamut. The fusing portion destroyed my hellfire ability but gave me holy fire." Kisara explained. Ichigo noticed more people began to gather around them. Ichigo spotted Rebecca and Headmistress Io approaching them.
"Meet me in your office," Ichigo yelled. They nodded. "Kisara. Valiona. Return to me." Ichigo ordered. They nodded as they returned to Ichigo's mindscape. Ichigo shunpō'ed away; ignoring the crowd. Ichigo sealed Bahamut and appeared in Headmistress Io's office. He sat down in one of the chairs as he waited for them to show up.
Time Skip: Hour later
Headmistress Io and Rebecca finally returned to her office to see Ichigo casually sleeping on the couch in her office. Ichigo yawn as he woke up from his nap.
"Man, it took you two a long time to return."
"No help from you," Rebecca said. "Many people are trying to find you."
"Find me?" Ichigo asked.
"Yes, since people believe that you are an Arch Dragonar," Rebecca said.
"An Arch Dragonar?"
"Yes. An Arch Dragonar are those who were given a special suit of armor and weapon by their dragon pal. It is the second-highest rank for Elite Dragonars. For the common people, an Arch Dragonar is equivalent to being a noble." Rebecca said.
"So, people want to find me to marry me." Ichigo summarized.
"Yes. Many people want to find you especially since they know that you are powerful even without your dragon."
"I see…" Ichigo said.
"Anyways." Headmistress Io interrupted. "I need to talk to Ichigo alone."
"Very well," Rebecca said as she walked out of the office. Headmistress Io closed the door.
"Can you bring your dragons." Headmistress Io asked.
"Sure…" Ichigo said.
"Kisara. Valiona. Please come out." Ichigo said. Kisara and Valiona appeared.
"Yes, Ichigo?" Kisara asked.
"I asked to see both of you." Headmistress Io said. They turned to see Headmistress Io sitting in her office chair. "I wanted to personally see you Kisara." She said. "Have you heard of someone called Valam?" She asked.
"No," Kisara replied.
"Long ago, when God was still alive." Headmistress Io started. "He created beings called Holy Dragons. The devils attacked the Holy Dragons. The Holy Dragons were difficult to damage. Only the strongest attacks would be able to damage them. One of those attacks managed to harm a female Holy Dragon. At the time, the couple didn't know that the attack managed to leave something remaining in the dragon. They soon gave birth to a daughter. That daughter was born with the ability to use Holy and Demonic energy. When God discovered that truth. He deemed her as an abomination and ordered her death. Despite God's efforts, he wasn't able to kill her. As she grew older, she founded a lover and had a child. God soon founded her. Despite their best efforts, they weren't able to defeat each other. In a last-ditch effort, he used his power and threw her into the Reincarnation Cycle. This wasn't strong enough to resist the Reincarnation Cycle and forced to be reincarnated. When she managed to rediscover her memories, she discovered that no one remembered her. She spent a long time trying to find out what happened. She concluded that God erased her existence from everyone's memories." Headmistress Io said.
"How does this relate to me?" Kisara asked.
"She is saying that she is related to you." Ichigo figured out.
"I'm your mother." Headmistress Io said. They could see Headmistress Io began to glow blue. Everyone could see the aura of a giant blue feminine western dragon with white eyes staring at them. It reminded them of Kisara's dragon form.
"So…you're my mother," Kisara said.
"I am." They stared at each other in silence for a few seconds.
"What should I say to her…" Kisara thoughted and Headmistress Io though.
"Well," Ichigo said as he stood up. "Since there isn't anything else to talk about…let's call Rebecca back in and end this meeting." Ichigo said.
"Very well." Headmistress Io said. She was glad that Ichigo stepped in to break their awkward silence. Kisara and Valiona nodded as their heads and returned to Ichigo's mindscape. Headmistress Io called Rebecca back to her office.
"So, what do we need to discuss?" Ichigo asked.
"You are certain that you don't want to interact with our world?" Rebecca asked.
"I am."
"It will be hard for you to simply disappear. So many people saw you in the battle, with and without your armor." Rebecca said.
"Especially those from the Royal Family." Headmistress Io said.
"The Royal Family?" Ichigo asked.
"Yes. Many soldiers died today from the Skeletal Dragons. They're coming here to mourn for the fallen soldier and meet the hero who defeated all the Skeletal Dragons." Headmistress Io said.
"Why should I meet these people. I am planning to leave this place with Yuzu and Karin." Ichigo said as he walked towards the door. "Unless you wish to stop me."
"Please." Headmistress Io stood up. "Our society needs to know if the Drákōn can return. We believe you and your siblings could provide clues." Ichigo stared back Headmistress Io.
"Why should I care? Based on what I've seen…your society doesn't care about the Drákōn return." Ichigo said.
"Then you leave me no choice." Headmistress Io said as she threw a marble at Ichigo. Ichigo easily dodged it. The marble landed on the ground. The marble shot a beam at Ichigo. Ichigo easily jumped away from it. The beam hit the chair and it was absorbed into the marble. Headmistress Io threw more marbles at Ichigo. Ichigo ran out of her office.
"Damn him." Headmistress Io said. She raised her hand out. The marbles flew back to her hand. "After him." She ordered.
"Yes, Headmistress," Rebecca said as she chased after him. Headmistress Io sighed as she looked out the window.
Scene Change: Ansullivan Dragonar Academy
"Yuzu. Karin. Where are you right now?" Ichigo asked.
"We're in our dorm room." Yuzu replied.
"Pack your bags. We are leaving here." Ichigo ordered.
"Why?" Karin asked.
"I will explain once I arrive there," Ichigo said. Ichigo founded Epona Halls and entered the dorm building.
"Um excuse me you are not allowed here." Someone said. Ichigo ignored her as he continued to climb up the stairs. "Hey!" She yelled as she followed him. Ichigo soon arrived in front of Yuzu's and Karin's door. Ichigo knocked on the door. "Sir." The girl finally caught up to Ichigo. Ichigo turned to her.
"Yes?"
"You are not allowed in this dormitory. There are only for female students."
"Don't worry about it. I am taking my sisters' home." Ichigo said as the door opened. Ichigo quickly slipped inside and closed the door. Ichigo turned to see two backpacks on their bed.
"Ichi-nii. What's going on?" Yuzu asked. Ichigo sighed as he told Yuzu and Karin what he learned from Headmistress Io.
"I…see." Yuzu said, shocked about what she just learned.
"You're planning to take us home," Karin concluded.
"I am." Suddenly there was a loud bang on the door.
"Open this door right now!" Rebecca yelled.
"Have you two finished packing?" Ichigo asked, ignoring her.
"Almost." Yuzu said as they resume packing. Once again someone pounded the door.
"Open this door right now. Or I will break down this door." Rebecca threatened.
"Are you two done?" Ichigo asked.
"We are," Karin said as they put their backpack on. Their familiar laid on their master's shoulder. Ichigo broke the window with his fist. He grabbed Yuzu and Karin.
"Hold on tight," Ichigo said as they jumped out of the window. Suddenly the door opened as Rebecca entered to see the broken window and the deserted dorm room. She looked out. She couldn't find them.
"Damn it." She said.
Ichigo shunpō'ed Yuzu and Karin away from the town into the forest. Ichigo let Yuzu and Karin go. Ichigo summoned his car. Yuzu and Karin entered the car. A Garganta opened up as Ichigo drove in it.
Scene Change: Kuoh Town: Underground Trainer
Everyone was talking to each other. The peerage members each took turns telling each other their past and abilities. Suddenly a Garganta opened up. They stopped talking and stared at it. Ichigo's car drove out of the Garganta. Ichigo parked the car in front of the peerage members. Ichigo, Yuzu, and Karin exited the car.
"Yuzu. Karin." Masaki said as she hugged her daughters. "Let me introduce you to all the new members," Masaki said as she dragged Yuzu and Karin away. Ichigo chuckled at Masaki's action. Ichigo noticed that Esdeath and Eve were staying away from the adults. Ichigo walked over to them.
"Hello, you two."
"Hello," Eve replied while Esdeath nodded her head.
"I heard that both of you are starting to learn how to use your abilities."
"We are," Esdeath said.
"Would you mind showing me what you learned?" Ichigo asked.
"Ok," Eve said. Her hair began to grow longer and became fists.
"May I?" Ichigo asked. Eve nodded her head as Ichigo touched the hair fists. "Have you learned how to use them?" Eve nodded her head as the hair fists began to punch. "I want you to punch my hand," Ichigo said as he put his hand out in front of him, palm opened. She stared at Ichigo. "Don't worry about me. I can handle it." Ichigo reassured. Eve nodded as she began to punch Ichigo's hand. "While her fists are big and sturdy, her punches lack any power." Eve punched Ichigo's hand twelve times before her hair returned to normal. Ichigo walked towards Eve and took a knee in front of her. "Good job Eve."
"Thank you." She replied.
"Kahlua," Ichigo called.
"Coming!" Kahlua said. She arrived right next to them.
"Good job in starting to teach Eve how to control her powers," Ichigo said. Kahlua smiled at his praise. "However. You have to remember that Eve's body doesn't have enough stamina to use her powers for long."
"I see…" Kahlua said.
"I believe that having her run a little and teaching her basic hand to hand combat would be a good idea to start," Ichigo suggested.
"Um…Ichigo-sensei?" Eve said.
"Yes, Eve?"
"Why would I need to learn hand to hand combat when I can use my hair to attack people?" Eve asked.
"Good question. While your hair looks like and feels like a fist, you don't know how to punch. Even then, when you punch, you leave yourself wide open for an experienced fighter to use to their advantage." Ichigo explained.
"I see…"
"Also, this training regimen allows you to slowly build stamina, which allows you to use your powers for a longer period," Ichigo explained. "Do you understand Eve?"
"Yes, Ichigo-sensei," Eve replied. Ichigo turned to Esdeath. Shirayuki appeared beside her.
"Hello, Ichigo. I missed you." Shirayuki said as she hugged Ichigo.
"Hello to you too Shirayuki," Ichigo said as he kissed her cheek. They let go of their hug. Ichigo looked at Esdeath. "Are you ready?"
"I am," Esdeath said. Ice began to grow around her arm, transforming them into claws. She charged at Ichigo. She swung with her claws. Ichigo easily dodged her attacks. She continued to charge at him. Ichigo could see the look of determination on her face. Her eyes glowed white for a second. Ichigo felt some kind of pressure around him. For a brief moment, Ichigo saw Eve froze. Before it went back to normal. Ichigo looked to see Esdeath on the ground. Her ice claws melted away. Ichigo and Shirayuki rushed to Esdeath's side.
"Are you alright?" Ichigo asked.
"I'm fine. Just tired." Esdeath replied as she fell asleep in his arms.
"Shirayuki. Did Esdeath stopped time?" Ichigo asked.
"I believe so. Though I don't know why or how."
"Maybe she was born with a Sacred Gear that allows her to stop time." Ichigo theorized.
"Similar to Rias's bishop," Shirayuki added.
"Ichigo. This is Akua." Akua said through the peerage link.
"This is Ichigo. Do you need help with something?"
"I do."
"What's going on?" Ichigo asked.
"A few days ago, Yasaka-sama gave me a mission to investigate a potential lead to the remaining members of Fairy Tale. According to the information, the members were using the ruins of the Shuzen Estate as their base of operations."
"What happened?" Ichigo asked.
"It turns out that Fairy Tail managed to find allies."
"Other allies?"
"Devils and Fallen Angels," Akua said.
"You contacted me to see what we should do since there are Devils and Fallen Angel?" Ichigo guessed.
"Correct."
"Have you asked Yasaka yet?"
"I've tried to contact her, but she isn't replying." Ichigo sighed and easily figured the problem. He walked over to the arguing kitsunes. "Yasaka," Ichigo said.
"Yes, Ichigo?" Yasaka asked.
"Akua has been trying to talk with you," Ichigo said.
"Oh." Yasaka blushed before talking with Akua.
"Ichigo," Tamamo said.
"Yes, Tamamo?"
"Can you help me persuade Yasaka to return control of the Japanese Leylines to me?" Ichigo could immediately detect the danger he would be if he entered that argument.
"Nope. I'm not getting involved with that mess. If you two decided to fight it out, then I'm will referee that match." Ichigo replied. Yasaka turned to Ichigo.
"Ichigo, please go to Akua and help her capture everyone there." Yasaka requested.
"Wait a minute," Akasha said. "Where are you thinking of going?" Ichigo turned to Yasaka.
"You're explaining what's going on to them," Ichigo said. Yasaka sighed as she explained what Akua told her.
"Wait…Fallen Angels and Devils are real?" Joan said.
"Doesn't that mean God is real!?" Jeanne concluded.
"You are correct," Ichigo said. "Angels, Fallen Angels and Devils are real." Ichigo started. "However, God was real," Ichigo said, emphasizing the was.
"Was," Joan said.
"Really?" Jeanne said.
"Yes. At one point in time, the Christian/Catholic God existed. However, the Christian/Catholic God is death." Ichigo said. As expected Jeanne immediately fainted into Joan's arms. Joan began to get angry.
"When did he die?" She asked.
"Before you were born," Ichigo answered.
"Then everything we devoted ourselves to was for nothing?" Joan growled.
"No. Your belief in God help pushed you to save France. Do you think the French would have won if you didn't guide your people to victory?" Joan sighed as she gave the unconscious Jeanne a lap pillow.
"Ichigo," Artoria said. Ichigo turned to her. "We wish to go with you." Ichigo looked to see all of his new peerage members nodding their heads.
"If you going to help nee-san, then I'm coming too," Moka said. Kahlua nodded her head.
"Ichi-nii. We want to go too." Karin said. Yuzu nodded her head.
"Oh no, you don't." Masaki interrupted. "You are not going with your brother."
"But Kaa-san." Yuzu said.
"No complaints. You can go with Ichigo if you defeat me in one to one combat." Masaki said.
"Or prove to me that you are strong enough," Ichigo added. Yuzu and Karin glared at Ichigo. Ichigo ignored their stares as he looked at Tier and Nel. "Do you two want to come?"
"Thank you for the offer but, we must decline," Tier said. "There are rumors that a small group of Hollows will try to attack Hueco Mundo for various reasons."
"Not only that, some Espada members wish to fight you for the right to rule Hueco Mundo," Nel added.
"However, they must defeat both of us to be given that chance," Tier said.
"Luckily we're both too strong for them," Nel replied
"I see…" Ichigo said as they opened a Garganta.
"Bye Ichigo." Nel and Tier said.
"Bye girls," Ichigo replied as they entered the Garganta. Ichigo looked at the group in front of him. "What about you Hana?"
"I'm fine staying here. I want to do some research about the current time." Hana replied.
"So Artoria, Gilgamesh, Scáthach, Raikou, Akasha, Rin, Zealot, Moka, and Kahlua are coming with me," Ichigo asked. All of them nodded their heads.
"Akua. Reinforcements are coming. We'll be arriving at the front gate." Ichigo said.
"Very well," Akua replied. "I will meet you there." Ichigo summoned his car.
"Everyone get in," Ichigo said. Everyone nodded and got in. Ichigo started up the car. He opened a Garganta and drove in.
Scene Change: Shuzen Estate
A Garganta opened up right in front of Shuzen Estate. Ichigo's Black Challenger SRT Hellcat drove out of the Garganta. Ichigo parked it right in front of the gate. Everyone filed out of the car. "Everyone get ready for battle," Ichigo said. Artoria, Gilgamesh, Scáthach, Raikou, Akasha, Rin, and Zealot got out of their physical body. They were dressed in their servant attire.
"My God, do you wish for me to enter your shadow?" Zealot asked.
"Sure," Ichigo said. Zealot nodded her head and sank into Ichigo's shadow. Akua appeared next to Kahlua.
"Hello, Ichigo." Akua greeted. "It appears you gained more peerage members."
"It's good to see you Akua," Akasha said. Akua gasped in shock.
"A-Akasha!? You're alive? How?"
"I'll explain it to you later," Akasha said. Ichigo quickly introduced Akua to the rest of the new peerage members that were there.
"How should we enter?" Akua asked.
"Let's enter from the front," Akasha suggested.
"How are we preventing them from escaping?" Akua asked.
"I got this," Scáthach said. She drew a few runes in the air. It flew around Shuzen Estate. "The runes will prevent anyone from teleporting away.
"Will the runes prevent the Devils and Fallen Angels from escaping?" Akua asked.
"I believe so," Scáthach replied.
"Don't worry. I have a plan if they try to escape." Ichigo said. "Rise Shirogane!" Ichigo's shadow suddenly expanded.
"Darker than darkness, emerging from the abyss, that is the sword that judges the shadow of science!"An ominous voice resonated as Shirogane rose from Ichigo's shadow.
"Shirogane. If you sense any dimensional disturbance, I want you to stop it." Shirogane nodded its head. It disappeared in its pocket dimension. Ichigo turned to look at Akua. "Is the enemy aware of us yet?"
"It doesn't appear so," Akua replied.
"Then we will sneak in," Ichigo said.
"I got this," Scáthach said as she drew a set of runes and placed it on herself. She immediately became invisible. A few seconds later, Scáthach reappeared somewhere else. "The runes I will place on everyone will turn them invisible and undetectable," Scáthach explained. She quickly drew the runes and placed them on everyone.
"Everyone let's go," Ichigo said through the peerage connection. Everyone jumped over the fence and carefully sneaked into Shuzen Estate. They saw the estate was mostly destroyed. "It appears that Issa decided not to get the Estate repaired after our fight," Ichigo said. As they followed Akua, they saw a group of Fallen Angels, Devils and Yōkai walking. The group quietly shadowed this group. They soon arrived in a large ballroom filled with chairs. The group of Fallen Angels, Devils and Yōkai sat down in the chairs. Ichigo and his group went to the back and stood in the shadow. The lights in the ballroom died down as the lights on a stage lit up. Ichigo could see Shuzen Issa stood in the middle of the stage. It appears that he healed himself after Ichigo's merciful ending. He wasn't alone. Next to Issa stood a young handsome looking man appearing in his early twenties with silver hair that is tied in a braided hairstyle. He wears a silver robe with detailed accessories. Everyone quieted down.
"Attention everyone." The silver-haired man said. "For those who don't know, my name is Euclid Lucifuge."
"Maybe Grayfia's brother?" Ichigo thought.
"For those who don't know, I am Shuzen Issa," Issa said.
"We joined forces to do one thing…" Euclid started.
"To conquer the humans!" Issa shouted. Everyone in the crowd began to cheer.
"Do you think we heard enough?" Ichigo asked. Everyone nodded. They destroyed the invisibility runes.
"ISSA!" Ichigo yelled.
"YOU!" Issa yelled when he spotted Ichigo. He leaped towards Ichigo. Suddenly someone kicked him; sending him flying to a nearby wall. He looked to see Akasha standing there.
"Hello, husband," Akasha said.
"Akasha," Issa mumbled.
"ATTACK THE INTRUDERS!" Euclid ordered. The army of Yōkai, Fallen Angels and Devils charged at Ichigo and his group. Everyone charged at the incoming army. Ichigo shunpō'ed directly on stage.
"So, you're Kurosaki Ichigo," Euclid said.
"I am." Ichigo summoned Kokugatsu. Euclid fired a blast of fire at Ichigo. Ichigo casually split the stream of fire with Kokugatsu. Euclid threw more blasts of fire at Ichigo. "Is that it?" Ichigo said as he continued to split the attacks. "So boring. To think Grayfia's brother was that weak." Ichigo said.
"You…you know…Grayfia."
"Oh, I do…and I know she's stronger than you."
"HOW DARE YOU!" He yelled and began to throw fireballs, ice shards and lightning bolts at Ichigo. He casually dodged the attack or blocked it with Kokugatsu. Ichigo sighed and shunpō'ed in front of him and cut him in the chest.
"Gah." Euclid jumped away from Ichigo. Euclid pressed his hand on the wound. The wound slowly began to heal itself. Ichigo charged at Euclid and continued to swing Kokugatsu at him. Euclid tried to dodge the attack. Despite his efforts, Ichigo easily continued to cut him.
"Fire Spin!" Euclid yelled as he blasted a wave of fire around him. Ichigo used Kokugatsu to block the attack. Euclid used the opportunity to heal his wounds. Ichigo looked to see Euclid fully healed. Ichigo rolled his eyes at his action.
"To think you are this weak," Ichigo said as he casually spun Kokugatsu.
"Fool! You think this is all of my powers." Euclid yelled as he began to release more energy. Ichigo looked unamused at Euclid's action.
"Really? Is this supposed to scare me?"
"DIE!" Euclid fired a blast of violet flames at Ichigo. Ichigo fired a nameless Getsuga Tenshō at the violet flames. The nameless Getsuga Tenshō split Euclid's violet flames apart. Euclid stood there in shock at what he witnessed. Ichigo's attack continued towards Euclid. Euclid jumped away from the attack. Euclid looked to see Ichigo disappeared.
"Where did he go?" Euclid thought as he looked for Ichigo. Ichigo stood above Euclid. Ichigo cracked a small smile.
"No one looks above them." Ichigo thought as he dove down towards Euclid. Euclid looked up at the last moment. Euclid tried to dodge the incoming attack.
"Grr." Euclid gritted his teeth as Ichigo cut his arm off. Euclid jumped away from Ichigo as he clutched the bleeding limb. "I will not forget this!" Euclid snarled as he activated a teleportation seal. Suddenly the teleportation seal broke. Euclid was shocked. Ichigo used Euclid's shocked state to his advantage and knocked him out. Ichigo cauterized Euclid's wound and bounded him with kidō. Ichigo turned to see that everyone else has dealt with all the other enemies and knocked them all unconscious. Suddenly, Ichigo heard a loud slam. He turned to see Akasha standing there with her arms extended out in a punch. Ichigo looked to see Issa was stuck in the wall.
"Come on Issa. I thought you were stronger than this." Akasha said as she casually walked towards Issa. Issa pulled himself out of the wall. Ichigo could see that Issa has already released his limiter. He pushed himself towards Akasha. Akasha stood her ground as she waited for Issa to fly closer. Akasha suddenly uppercuts Issa; sending him crashing through the ceiling. Issa's feet dangled below them. Akasha leaped up and grabbed his legs; dislodging him from the ceiling. As they fell, Akasha moved on top of Issa. They slammed together on to the ground. The dust cleared to see Akasha was still on top of Issa and holding his legs.
"You learned that from Quetz?" Ichigo asked as he walked over.
"I did," Akasha said as she grabbed Issa's neck and began to lick it. Ichigo recognized what Akasha was about to do. Before Ichigo could interject, she opened her mouth and bit down on Issa's neck. Issa's eyes widen in shock. He was too shocked to scream. Akasha slowly drank all of Issa's blood. Ichigo could sense Akasha was devouring Issa's blood and soul. His body began to shrivel and dry out. Soon Akasha finished devouring Issa's blood and soul. She let go and threw the dried body on the ground.
"Why did you do that?" Ichigo asked; curious at her action.
"Before I explain…Can I get some of your blood to wash his blood down?" Akasha asked. Ichigo sighed as he tilted his neck to the side. She quickly bit down and drank some of Ichigo's blood. She let go as she licked the bite marks. "I devoured Issa's blood and soul for a few reasons." Akasha began. "By devouring his soul, I gained everything that Issa had, physically, mentally and spiritually."
"Physically?" Ichigo asked. Behind Akasha, a red shadow formed behind her. From the red shadow, Ichigo saw Issa appeared. Ichigo noticed that Issa's eyes were empty as if no one was there.
"I can summon any soul that I devoured as a minion."
"What would happen if they die?" Ichigo asked.
"I just reabsorb them," Akasha said as Issa turned into blood and returned to Akasha.
"What about mentally and spiritually?"
"When I devoured him, I saw all of his memories."
"And spiritually?" Ichigo asked.
"His soul and all other souls I've devoured are mines to use," Akasha said.
"I see…" Ichigo said. Everyone finished their battle and regrouped with Ichigo and Akasha. "Any issues?" Ichigo asked. Some of them shook their head while others didn't move. "For now, we will gather all the unconscious enemy and sort them into three categories: Yōkai, Fallen Angel and Devil. Everyone nodded as they quickly gathered all the unconscious bodies and separated them. Once they were done, Ichigo contacted Yasaka.
"Yasaka, we finished the mission. Can you contact Nurari to pick up all unconscious Yōkai?" Ichigo asked.
"I can," Yasaka replied. Ichigo pulled out his phone called Sirzechs.
"Hello, Ichigo. It has been a while. What can I do for you?"
"Can you go to my location to escort some rogue Devils and Fallen Angels."
"Sure," Sirzechs said as he hung up. Ichigo turned to his peerage.
"Moka, Akasha, Akua, and Kahlua, go through the remanence of the estate to see if there is anything you wish to keep," Ichigo said. They nodded and began to explore the estate. A red seal appeared in front of Ichigo as Sirzechs appeared.
"Hello, Ichigo."
"Hello, Sirzechs," Ichigo said. Sirzechs looked at the captured Devils and Fallen Angels.
"Euclid," Sirzechs said; spotted his brother-in-law. He turned to Ichigo. "I'll take good care of them. What about the Yōkai? Do you want me to take care of them as well?"
"Don't worry about it. I have someone else coming to take care of them." Ichigo said. In the distance, they heard a car driving towards them. They spotted a yellow school bus driving towards them. The yellow school bus stopped in front of them. Soon the bus driver walked out.
"It's been a long time hasn't it Nurari," Sirzechs said as he raised his hand.
"It has Sirzechs," Nurari replied as he accepted the handshake. They soon let go. "So, these are mine to take back?" Nurari said as he pointed at the unconscious Yōkai.
"They are," Ichigo said. Ichigo saw Raikou walking towards Nurari.
"It can't be," Nurari mumbled. Raikou smiled.
"Hello, Nurari." Raikou said.
"Raikou." Nurari nodded.
"How is your brother, still causing chaos and mayhem?"
"Actually no. He is working on creating peace between the human and Yōkai world."
"Oh. To think you can teach an old dog new tricks." Raikou joked. "Or in this take an old berserker." With the jokes done, all the unconscious Yōkai were loaded into Nurari's school bus.
"See all of you later," Ichigo said.
"See you Ichigo," Sirzechs said as he teleported away. Nurari waved his hand as the school bus drove away. Ichigo saw Moka, Akua, Kahlua, and Akasha returned.
"Did you find anything of value?" Ichigo asked.
"No," Moka replied.
"Akasha, what are you planning to do with the estate?"
"I'm not sure. Do you have something in mind?"
"I do. With the more people joining our family, I think we should have a larger house." Ichigo said.
"What about our lives in Kuoh?" Moka asked.
"We're keeping the house there, but we have this larger house for the others to live in," Ichigo said.
"That's a good idea," Kahlua said.
"So, are you planning to rebuild the estate or build an entirely new one?" Moka asked.
"What do you think Akasha?"
"Burn it down. I don't want any more reminders of Issa." Akasha said.
"Very well," Ichigo replied as he began spraying balls of fire around the destroyed estate. Ichigo made sure the fire didn't destroy anything else. Soon nothing remained from the estate. With that done, Ichigo summoned his car and drove everyone back home.
Scene Change: Kurosaki Household
They all returned to see it was getting late. They all entered the Kurosaki Household to see Masaki, Rin, and Yuzu in the kitchen making dinner. Karin, Elizabeth, Esdeath, Eve and Lunatique were in the living room watching TV.
"Hello everyone." Ichigo greeted as everyone began to file in.
"Just in time," Masaki said. "Can you help set up the table." Ichigo grabbed the dishes out of the cabinet. Only for them to be stolen by his other servants. Ichigo sighed as he went to the living room and sat down. Ichigo sat there as each girl shared what they did today. "Dinner's ready!" Masaki yelled. Elizabeth, Esdeath and Eve immediately ran to the dinner table, followed by Karin. Ichigo helped the pregnant Lunatique to the dinner table. They all sat down as ate dinner.
"With the sudden increase of people living here, I decided that we need another place to live." Ichigo started; getting everyone's attention.
"I suggested that we make the former Shuzen Estate our new home/base," Akasha said.
"How big will this be?" Gilgamesh asked.
"Land wise…" Akasha said. "About 5000 hectares (12355.27 acres)."
"Anyways, I want all of you to provide Akasha with ideas or suggestions that you would want in the new home/house," Ichigo said.
"How will we get from the new home/base to here?" Masaki asked.
"We'll likely connect some kind of portal from here to the new home/base," Ichigo said. Akasha pulled out a notepad as everyone began to share ideas. Ichigo's dinner was interrupted by a spirit in his mindscape.
"Ichigo," Jesus said.
"Yes, Jesus?"
"Can you take me to heaven now?" Ichigo sighed.
"Fine. Just let me finish my dinner."
"Thank you," Jesus replied. Ichigo finished his dinner and placed his plate in the kitchen sink.
"I'll be right back. I need to fulfill a promise." Ichigo said as he stepped outside. He pulled out his phone and dialed the extremely long number. He placed the ringing phone next to his ear. Ichigo could hear the phone ringing.
"Hello, Ichigo. What can I do for you?" Michael asked.
"This might be weird but, can you take me to Heaven?"
"Um…why?"
"Let's just say, I have something that you would want in Heaven," Ichigo cryptically said.
"Very well," Michael said. A golden seal appeared below Ichigo's feet and teleported him away.
Scene Change: Heaven
Ichigo looked to see he was standing on a white cloud. Ichigo could see that it resembled what Ichigo saw in Longinus's mindscape.
"Hello, Ichigo." Michael greeted. He was dressed in the same armor Ichigo saw him from the peace conference and dinner party.
"Hello, Michael. Is there anywhere we can talk in private?"
"I see…" Michael said. "Follow me." He said. Ichigo followed Michael up a few flights of stairs. They soon arrive at the door. Michael opened the door. It appears to be an office of some kind. "This is my office. No one will be able to hear anything in here." Michael said. Ichigo summoned Longinus. The spear began to glow golden. The energy from Longinus's golden glow began to form a human body. Michael gasped when he saw who it was.
"Hello, Michael," Jesus said.
"Jesus!" Michael yelled as he hugged the man. "How? I thought you died with your father?"
"That's true," Jesus said. "However, when I stabbed with Longinus, a portion of my soul got lodged into Longinus."
"But in that case, you wouldn't know what happen to your other self since you two would have been separated." Michael theorized.
"Not quite," Jesus said. "When my soul fragmented and was absorbed by Longinus, the soul fragment remained tied to me until I died."
"How come you haven't tried to return to Heaven until now?"
"None of my welders were strong enough to talk with me…until Ichigo forced his way into Longinus's mindscape." Jesus said.
"I see," Michael said. He turned to Ichigo. "Ichigo, once again Heaven is in debt to you," Michael said as he bowed to Ichigo.
"No problem Michael," Ichigo replied. "I do have a question though."
"Go ahead."
"With Jesus in play, how would this affect the world?"
"I'm not sure…but I do have a theory." Michael said. "After God's death, the whole fraction, as a whole has gotten weaker. Angel's holy attacks do less damage compared to before, blessed items are weaker than before, many prayers now go unanswered, just to name a few. But with Jesus in control instead of me, this may significantly improve." Michael theorized. He teleported Jesus and Ichigo out of his office. They arrived in front of a white throne.
"Where are we?" Ichigo asked.
"This is the Seventh Heaven; home to the Sacred Gear System and God's System," Michael said. Jesus walked sat down on the throne. Suddenly the throne began to release massive amounts of Holy energy.
"What's going on," Ichigo asked.
"Heaven is growing stronger with Jesus's return and him on the throne." Soon the throne stopped.
"You alright Jesus?" Ichigo asked.
"Man, that was a lot of information," Jesus said.
"What happened?" Ichigo asked.
"Dad foresaw our fate. So, he decided to save the knowledge of creation and the throne into the throne. When I sat in the throne, it poured all the knowledge of creation and the throne into my mind." Jesus explained.
"I see," Ichigo said.
"Ichigo. Please summon out Longinus." Ichigo summoned Longinus. Jesus raised his hand. A golden ball of energy began to form. He walked over and placed it in Longinus. Longinus glowed for a few seconds.
"What did you do?" Ichigo asked.
"I placed an Angel in Longinus."
"Why?"
"That Angel will become the mentor figure to help you use Longinus."
"I see…" Ichigo said.
"What's the angel's name."
"The angel will reveal itself to you when it's ready," Jesus replied.
"I see…" Ichigo said.
"Ichigo. As Michael said earlier, Heaven as a whole owes a debt to you." Jesus said. "There is only one way, I and Heaven as a whole can repay this debt." Jesus stuck out his hand. Ichigo looked at Jesus's hand for a second before shaking Jesus's hand. Suddenly Jesus's eyes glow golden. Michael gasped when he realized what Jesus was about to do.
"Ichigo. Heir of Clan Kurosaki. Heir of Clan Shiba Heir of Clan Yamamoto." Ichigo could sense the divine energy radiating from him as he invoked his full name. "I name thee my sworn brother. Though not blood of my blood, bone of my bone or flesh of my flesh. I choose thee as kin, with all rights and obligations that are entailed." Jesus's body began to glow golden. "Cry for aid and I shall hear you and give aid if it costs me my last breath. Seek succor and you shall have it of me, no matter your reasons for seeking such. If all the universe be arrayed against you, know that I shalt guard your back. Request sanctuary, and it shall be granted, regardless of your foe." The golden energy traveled to Ichigo. "So, let it be," Jesus said. The golden glow faded away.
"You…"
"I just made you my brother," Jesus said. "This debt is something that can't be paid back with anything physical or knowledge. An act for an act. You returned me to Heaven and helped Heaven return to be a powerhouse it once was. I return that debt in brotherhood and an alliance." Jesus turned to Michael; who regained his composure. "Can you send Ichigo back down now?"
"Right away," Michael said as the golden seal appeared below Ichigo's feet.
"See ya, Michael. Jesus." Ichigo said.
"Goodbye Ichigo," Michael replied.
"Bye Ichigo. Thank you for your help." Jesus said. There was a small flash of golden light and Ichigo was gone.
Scene Change: Forest near Kuoh Town.
Five people are standing in an empty clearing in a forest near Kuoh Town. Three people were leaning on different trees. The first one appears to be a two-meters man with a well-built body and has shoulder-length gray hair. He's dressed in a Japanese school uniform covered by Greek-inspired armor. The second one was also a young man but with black hair tied into a bun and has on a pair of shades. His attire consists of a black Japanese school uniform. The third one was a beautiful young foreign lady with blonde hair and sky-blue eyes. She wears a Japanese school uniform, with armor worn on top of it.
In the middle of the clearing were two people; one who was kneeling, and another was standing. The one kneeling is a cute, foreign girl with a slim body, shoulder-length blonde hair and blue eyes. She's dressed in a sorceress-like dress with a huge blue hat with a black bow and yellow stars and matching cape with pink flowers and a white interior. She was drawing some kind of seal on the ground. The one standing is a bespectacled young man with blond hair with a strand of hair across his face, who is usually dressed in a business suit.
"Are you sure this is going to work?" The two-meters man asked.
"Heracles. For the last time, this will work." The bespectacled young man replied. "Unless you want to question my sister's skills."
"Grr." The newly dubbed Heracles replied. Suddenly the seal began to glow golden. The girl stood up as her brother pulled her behind him. Everyone stared at the seal as Ichigo appeared. Ichigo could see that he wasn't at his house. He could sense everyone at his house. Ichigo noticed the strangers around him.
"Who are you?" Ichigo asked. "Why am I here?"
"Please calm down Kurosaki Ichigo." The bespectacled young man said. "My name is Pendragon Arthur."
"I'm Pendragon Le Fay." The girl behind Arthur said.
"Heracles."
"I'm Connla." The young man with the shades said.
"Jeanne." The last person said.
"We're all a part of the Hero Fraction," Arthur said.
"Hero Fraction?" Ichigo asked. Arthur began to explain the Hero Faction. While this was going on, Ichigo talked with his servants.
"Hey, guys. Can you hear me?"
"What happened Ichigo?" Akasha replied.
"I was wondering if anyone if Artoria and Jeanne or Joan could come to my location."
"Why?" Artoria asked.
"Well, it appears I was forced teleported away by a group of people who are related to heroes from the past."
"Oh?" Jeanne replied.
"Yep. Founded two descendants of Artoria and one from Jeanne."
"Anyone else?" Scáthach asked.
"One of them is name Connla…"
"Oh? I guess I'll join them." Scáthach replied.
"And I'm here because…" Ichigo interrupted Arthur's monologue.
"We wish to recruit you," Arthur said.
"Anyone else?" Archer asked.
"The last one is Heracles; which I plan to deal with."
"Ok, we founded your location," Artoria said.
"Unfortunately, I am not interested in joining your fraction," Ichigo said. As Artoria, Joan and Scáthach appeared in front of Ichigo. They were shocked at the sudden appearance the Servants with that everyone charged at an opponent.
Scene Change: Ichigo vs Heracles
"Eat this!" Heracles yelled as he ran towards Ichigo. He tried to punch Ichigo with his right arm. He was shocked when his attack was stopped. He looked to see Ichigo stopped his punch with a finger. "WHAT!" Heracles yelled as he tried again to punch Ichigo. Only for Ichigo block those punches with a finger.
"Is that all?" Ichigo asked.
"Variant Detonation!" Heracles yelled as he began to be surrounded by a red orange-energy. "Let's see how you handle this!" He yelled as began to attack Ichigo with more punches surrounded by red-orange energy. Just like before Ichigo easily blocked all of Heracles's attacks with a single finger. "HOW! How can you be so strong!" Heracles yelled as he continued to try and hit Ichigo.
"You forget who you're fighting against," Ichigo said as he finally countered Heracles's attack. He grabbed Heracles's wrist and pulled him down. Heracles was off balance and fell to the ground. Before Heracles could move Ichigo was standing on Heracles's neck. "You're fighting against a being who have defeated gods and demons," Ichigo said. With one heel stomp, Heracles was unconscious. Ichigo looked to see Artoria was dueling her descendent. Ichigo dragged the unconscious Heracles over to them.
Scene Change: Scáthach vs Connla
Scáthach approached Connla. Scáthach gave Connla a sad smile.
"You look so like him," Scáthach said.
"Who?" Connla asked. "Why does she feel familiar; as if she is someone I should know and fear?" Connla thought. He was confused by this feeling.
"Oh? You don't recognize me?" Scáthach said as she summoned her spear. Connla stared at the spear. His eyes widen when he recognized that spear. He has researched who Connla was in the past. Connla is the son of Cú Chulainn and Aife. Cú Chulainn wielded the same red spear that this woman has in her hand.
"Y-you're the descendent of Scáthach." Connla guessed.
"So close," Scáthach replied. "It seems I need to introduce myself," Scáthach said as she walked closer to Connla. "I am Scáthach; the Queen of the Land of Shadows." She declared. Connla's eyes widen in shock.
"How?" Connla asked.
"Magic," Scáthach replied. "However, I'm not here to meet my many time's great-nephews." Scáthach suddenly pointed Gáe Blog at Connla's neck. "I'm here to figure out why you tried to kidnap my Master." A set of shadow spears grew out of Connla's shadow and pointed at Scáthach.
"Defeat me and find out," Connla replied as the shadow spears shot towards Scáthach. She easily dodged all the shadow spears. "Her speed is incredible." Scáthach suddenly vanished from Connla's view. Connla turned around, trying to find Scáthach.
"Up here," Scáthach said. Connla looked up to see Scáthach was in the air. Above her head was Gáe Bolg and it was glowing with red energy.
"Let's see if you can handle this." Scáthach thought.
"GÁE BOLG!" Scáthach shouted as she threw Gáe Bolg at Connla. Connla entered his shadow; trying to escape Scáthach's attack. For the first time, Connla felt fear.
"I'm going to die." Connla thought to himself. "I'm going to die. I'm going to die. I'm going to die!" Soon the attack stopped. Connla looked to see Scáthach disappeared. Connla rose out of the shadow. Suddenly he blacked out. Behind him stood an unamused Scáthach; with her hand out.
"He hid from my attack. How did the Connla's descendent turn out to be a coward." Scáthach thought. She noticed that Ichigo was watching Artoria dueling one of the guys. She picked up Connla and walked over there.
Scene Change: Joan vs Jeanne
Joan stood in front of Jeanne.
"You're the reincarnation of Jeanne d' Arc." Joan glared.
"I am. And you are?" Jeanne asked.
"Call me Joan." Joan sneered. Joan charged at Jeanne and began to attack her with her flag pole. Jeanne summoned a pair of holy swords and blocked Joan's attack. Joan continued her assault on Jeanne.
"Blade Blacksmith!" Jeanne shouted. A wall of sword burst around Joan. Joan was forced to jump away from Jeanne.
"Is this all your can-do girl?" Joan sneered. "No wonder you're Jeanne d' Arc's reincarnation. You're as pathetic as her."
"Don't insult her!" Jeanne shouted as more holy swords were sent towards Joan. Joan swatted them away with her flagpole.
"Don't make me laugh. Despite being her reincarnation, you don't know a single thing about her? All the trials that she went through. The pain and suffering for her god." Joan said.
"And the despair that came once the truth was known." Joan thought.
"Like you would know," Jeanne replied. Joan chuckled.
"All evil is here," Joan said as she drew her sword. She pointed it at Jeanne. "The time for revenge has come!" A blaze of fire shot out towards Jeanne. Jeanne summoned a wave of swords as an attempt to block the flames. The flames easily tore through the swords and surrounded Jeanne. She could feel the heat beginning to burn through her armor. "This is the roar of my soul that was polished by hatred..." Suddenly a young woman carrying a flag appeared in front of her.
"Here's the work of the Lord!" The newcomer said as she stabbed her flag into the ground. The flag magically unraveled itself. "My flag defends our brethren!" The flag began to glow, and a barrier began to form around them. "Luminosité Eternelle!"
"Le Grondement de La Haine!" Joan finished as spikes began to shout out of the ground towards them. However, all of them bounced off the barrier. Soon the attack ended. Jeanne looked at her savior only to be knocked out by her savior. Joan sheathed her sword and walked towards them. "You finally showed up Ruler," Joan said. (Jeanne d' Arc, the servant, will be called Ruler to prevent confusion.)
"Joan. Must you use your Noble Phantasm on her." Ruler asked as she looked at the unconscious Jeanne.
"This foolish girl said that she was our reincarnation and yet she doesn't know the pain and suffering we've faced." Joan sneered. "I just wanted to give her a taste of the pain we felt." Ruler shook her head.
"Let's just meet up with Master." Ruler said as she grabbed the unconscious Jeanne. Ruler and Joan walked to Ichigo.
Artoria vs Arthur and Le Fay Pendragon
"Who are you?" Arthur asked.
"It's not proper manners to ask for someone else's name without introducing yourself," Artoria replied.
"My name is Arthur Pendragon, and this is Le Fay Pendragon," Arthur said.
"So Ichigo was right…you are my descendants," Artoria said.
"What?" Arthur and Le Fay replied.
"I am Artoria Pendragon, King of Knights and Once and Future King of Britannia." Artoria declared.
"Impossible," Arthur replied as he pointed his sword at Artoria. "King Arthur was a male and he wielded a holy blade. Not like the blade you wield."
"If you want to see the holy aspect then that's fine," Artoria said as she changed to her holy aspect. Arthur and Le Fay were shocked. They could feel the holy aura resonating from Excalibur.
"What about the fact that your legend said you were a male and what about Mordred?" Le Fay asked.
"In my time, I hid my gender because I believed that the men wouldn't listen to a 'Queen'," Artoria said. Arthur and Le Fay nodded in agreement. "Myrddin decided the best way to deal with our inability to reproduce by turning me into a hermaphrodite. Morgan drugged me and had her way with me."
"I see…" Arthur said. "Great Ancestor, I challenge you to a duel." Arthur challenged.
"Very well then," Artoria replied. "Your sister will not interfere…right?"
"She wouldn't," Arthur replied. Ley Fe nodded as she moved to the middle.
"Will this be a duel of just swordsmanship or everything?" Artoria asked.
"Swordsmanship," Arthur answered.
"Very well then," Artoria replied. They both had their swords ready; pointed at each other.
"The duel between Arthur Pendragon and King Artoria Pendragon shall begin at the count of three." Ley Fa said. "1." Arthur and Artoria glared at their opponent. "2." Arthur and Artoria tightened their grip on their respective blades. "3." Arthur dashed towards Artoria. She easily blocked Arthur's attack. He continued to attack her. Artoria would easily block his attacks. Le Fay stood there and watched them fight. She knew how good her older brother was in the art of sword fighting. Many of their tutors compliment him; calling him a prodigy. However, seeing Arthur going against Artoria is like seeing a child going against a master. Every move Arthur does is quickly blocked by Artoria and she has a counter immediately following it.
"Impressive swordsmanship," Artoria commented.
"Thank you, Great Ancestor," Arthur replied. "Your skills are exactly what your legend said they were." They continued this for a few more minutes soon Artoria ended their duel with a hard strike near Arthur's wrist; forcing him to drop the blade. Before he could grab the blade, Artoria already had Excalibur pointed at his throat.
"I believe this is my win," Artoria said.
"It is," Arthur replied. Artoria moves Excalibur away from Arthur's throat. He walked over and picked up his fallen sword. Le Fay rejoined them. He turned to face Artoria again. "As our Great Ancestor, I wish to return this to you." He said as he presented the blade to Artoria. Artoria looked at the blade that Arthur presented.
"Why?" Artoria asked.
"You don't recognize this blade? It's Caliburn; The Sword from the Stone." Artoria sheathed Excalibur and grabbed the sword as she performed a few swings with the blade before handing it back to the confused Arthur.
"This isn't my Caliburn," Artoria replied.
"What do you mean?" Arthur asked.
"Caliburn was broken in battle which forced me to use Excalibur. The Caliburn you wield is not the same one I wield long ago."
"So, you're saying that the sword in my hand isn't Caliburn?"
"I believe an Angel took the broken Caliburn and tried to reforge the blade resulting in the Caliburn in your hand." Artoria theorized.
"I see…" Arthur said as he summoned Excalibur Ruler. "Great Ancestor, can you tell me your thoughts about this blade." Artoria grabbed Excalibur Ruler and swung it a few times.
"This blade is foreign to me." Artoria said as she returned the blade to Arthur."
"I see…" Arthur said sounding disappointed.
"Why do you sound disappointed?" Artoria asked.
"The blade you just wield is known as Excalibur Ruler, one of the seven fragments from the original Excalibur that was destroyed during your battle with Mordred," Arthur said.
"I tasked Sir Bedivere to return it to the Lady of the Lake. The only possibilities are that an angel took the blade from Sir Bedivere or the Angels made a holy blade and called it Excalibur."
"I see…" Arthur said. He was shocked to see the entire group was defeated by Ichigo and his allies. "So, the Hero Fraction lost," Arthur said. Le Fay turned around to see Ichigo and everyone standing behind her.
"I didn't notice they were standing behind me." Le Fay thought.
"You finished Artoria?" Ichigo asked.
"We have," Arthur replied. "What will happen to us?"
"The only option is that these three will be given to the devils to interrogate for information," Ichigo said.
"And us?" Arthur asked. Suddenly a familiar red seal appeared.
"Oh speak of the devil." Ichigo chuckled as Rias, Kiba, Akeno, Issei, and Koneko were standing behind Rias; ready to battle.
"Ichigo?" Rias said.
"Hello, Rias. Good to see you and your peerage is here." Ichigo said as he noticed "What are you doing here?"
"We detected a large amount of energy here, so we decided to investigate," Rias replied. "I assume you took care of the problem."
"I did." Ichigo gave Rias the unconscious Connla, Heracles, and Jeanne. "These are some members of the Hero Fraction."
"I see. I will hand them to Nii-sama to deal with." Rias said.
"I can imagine him complaining about the additional workload."
"Additional workload…" Rias eyes widen. "You're responsible for the large capture of Devils, Fallen Angels, and Yōkai less than an hour ago."
"Ya," Ichigo said.
"Akeno. If you could please." Akeno nodded as she took the unconscious prisoners and teleported them away.
"What about them?" Rias asked, pointing at the Pendragon siblings.
"My name is Arthur Pendragon, and this is Le Fay Pendragon," Arthur said.
"As you may already know, I am Rias Gremory," Rias replied.
"In exchange for protection against our family and our enemies, we would assist as tutors for your peerage and allies." Arthur offered.
"Why?" Rias replied.
"In all honesty, I joined the Hero Fraction just to find strong opponents. From what rumors I've heard, I know that being on your side I would be able to find stronger opponents." Arthur replied.
"Wherever Nii-sama goes, I go." Le Fay replied. "Thought also wanted to meet the Oppai Dragon." She added while blushing.
"Oppai…Dragon." Ichigo repeated. He gave Rias a questionable stare. "What did the pervert do."
"Azazel heard about Issei triggering his Balance Breaker by poking my breasts and ended up making an entire show about it. He used the opening song to the show when Issei went Berserk due to a training accident." Rias said. Ichigo walked up behind Issei and slammed his head down to the ground. Issei got his head out of the dirt, ready to attack whoever did that when he saw Ichigo's vengeful glare at him.
"How dare your perverted habits ruined Ddraig's legendary history," Ichigo said. Suddenly Boosted began to glow.
"Manifest," Ddraig said as Issei's Scaled Mail appeared.
"Hello, Ddraig." Ichigo greeted.
"Hello, Ichigo. Thank you for punishing him for his action." Ddraig said as he glared at Rias. "These devils encourage his actions."
"I understand my friend," Ichigo said as he patted the Scaled Mail's shoulder. "During my Freshman year of high school, I've developed a reputation for being a tough guy who rarely smiles and punishes perverts like Issei," Ichigo said. Suddenly Issei felt a shiver go down his spine. "While I was doing some Shinigami business, a perverted spirit managed to enter my body and ruin the reputation that I had carefully built (2)," Ichigo said. Ddraig turned and looked at Ichigo.
"I found an ally in this darkness!" Ddraig said as tears began to appear.
"Go on and take comfort," Ichigo said as Ddraig let out his tears of despair. As Ddraig did this, Ichigo continued to glare at Issei.
"I said I was sorry," Issei said.
"Does sorry fix Ddraig's reputation?" Ichigo asked.
"No," Issei replied
"Though…" Ichigo began to smile. "Being the strongest wielder may offset this," Ichigo said.
"Um…" Issei didn't know why but he felt he should run away right now. Ichigo turned to Rias.
"I want to see how strong your peerage is now compared to when I first tested you," Ichigo said.
"Now?" Rias asked.
"No. In the morning." Ichigo said.
"That's fine. We needed to do something as a club anyways." Rias said. "Also, is it fine if Azazel-sensei comes as well."
"Sure," Ichigo replied. Ddraig finished letting out his despair.
"Thank you, Ichigo," Ddraig said.
"No problem Ddraig," Ichigo said. "A good way to release your despair is finding a way to release it positively; as in training a wielder."
"Good idea," Ddraig replied.
"Do it while he dreams and any free time he has," Ichigo said.
"NOOOOO!" Issei screamed in despair. Ichigo and Ddraig laughed at Issei's despair.
"It's getting a little late," Rias said.
"Very well. See you tomorrow." Ichigo said as they all returned home.
Scene Change: Kurosaki Household
Ichigo walked in to see Yuzu washing the dishes.
"Hello Yuzu," Ichigo said.
"Ichi-nii. You're back."
"Have you seen Karin?"
"She's in the shower. Is there anything you need?"
"Let her know that I am testing both of you tomorrow."
"Testing us?"
"Yes. We're going to have a spar to see how strong both of you have become."
"Oh…I'll let her know." Yuzu said.
"Thank you, Yuzu and goodnight," Ichigo replied as he walked upstairs to his bedroom. Ichigo took a quick shower and went to bed.
Chapter 33
1) Omnimon but with Red-Eyes and Blue-Eyes instead of WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon.
2) That scene was inspired by a similar scene from Highschool: BLEACHED by the user Slycer. It is in chapter 28.
