"Hello." – Zanpakutō thoughts.
Yasaka and Tamamo stopped their match. "Yes, Ichigo?" They asked. Ichigo turned to Tamamo.
"Tamamo, are you Amaterasu's black flames?" Ichigo questioned.
"I am," She replied.
"You never mentioned that you can use her flames," Ichigo said.
"At that time, I couldn't use it but now I can."
"Looks like I need to make this fairer." Ichigo snapped his fingers. The entire battlefield reset itself. Ichigo activated Schrift T: The Taiyō. He channeled the divine reiatsu to Yasaka. Her eyes widen when she felt the new reiatsu flowing to her. She turned to Ichigo. He nodded his head. Above their heads, a new meter appeared. It read Divine Magic Points. Yasaka glared Tamamo.
"Five-second countdown," Ichigo said. A 5 second counter appeared above his head.
"Five. Four. Three. Two. One. Start!" The clock yelled.
Yasaka charged towards Tamamo with a quick thrust with her shakujō. Tamamo blocked the attack with one of her fans and fired yellow lightning from her fan. While the two Kitsunes fought each other, Ichigo sat down by a chair, watch them fight.
"Ichigo. Can I talk with you?" Yhwach asked.
"Sure," Ichigo replied as Yhwach appeared beside him; sitting in his own chair.
"What can I do for you?"
"It's about the schrifts," Yhwach said. Ichigo motioned for Yhwach to continue. "When you accepted Schrift T: The Taiyō it did a few things. The first is that it devoured Schrift I: The Ignatius and took over its job."
"So Schrift T: The Taiyō is also now the storage unit for my fire-based reiatsu."
"Indeed. It also the storage unit for your divine energy."
"I see…" Ichigo said.
"We have to create a new Schrift: I and the rest of the other Schrifts," Yhwach said.
"Yhwach, why are you pushing me to create the other Schrifts?" Ichigo questioned. Yhwach sighed.
"It's because of Schrift: Z."
"Schrift: Z? What does Schrift: Z do?" Ichigo asked.
"I-I can't tell you," Yhwach answered.
"I see," Ichigo replied. Yhwach returned to his mindscape. Ichigo looked to see how the fight. Yasaka was in her defensive form. Most of her robes were burned away. She still has about half her HP and a quarter of her MP and DMP remain. Tamamo was in a similar state. Most of her robes were singed by the flames. She as little less than half her HP but has a third of her MP and DMP remain.
"Look like I need to use this," Tamamo said as she summoned her mirror. Yasaka immediately recognized the mirror.
"The Yata no Kagami." Tamamo pulled out a set of talismans from her robes. "God who resides in Izumo." The talismans left her hand and began to revolve around her and glowed purple. "Aesthetically certain, Breath of the soul. Residing in the mountains and watery heavens, Amaterasu. Let this freely become the proof of purification." The Talismans moved away from her and transformed into Torri made from the purple energy. "Thy name is Weighted Stone of Tamamo. Become the sacred treasure, Mirror of Uka!" Purple energy from the Torri gates shot up. During the chant, the mirror moved above Tamamo. The purple energy hit the mirror before bouncing back to Tamamo. Her HP, MP, and DMP began to refill itself.
"Oh no, you don't!" Yasaka said as she threw her talismans into Tamamo's Noble Phantasm. Tamamo was too late to stop Yasaka. Her talismans slipped into the Noble Phantasm, stealing the effects of the Noble Phantasm, as Yasaka's HP, MP, and DMP began to refill itself.
"Oh, come on!" Tamamo yelled when the Noble Phantasm ended.
"This is going to take a while," Ichigo mumbled.
"Ichigo, can I see you?" Medea asked thought the peerage link.
"Sure," Ichigo replied. A few minutes later, Medea appeared beside him.
"What can I do for you?" Ichigo asked.
"It's regarding the Magic Circuits and the Magic Crests we stole from those Magus," Medea said. "I planned to add them to your body."
"All of them?" Ichigo asked.
"You want to give them to someone?" Medea asked.
"I want to give a reasonable amount to my sisters," Ichigo answered. "I fought them a few days ago and could tell they are getting stronger, but they will need more help," Ichigo answered.
"Very well. I will give them some of the Magic Circuits and maybe a Magic Crest," Medea said.
"What abilities do those Magic Crests have?"
"The first one is the ability to summon blue fire, the second one is the ability to control people with strings, the third one is to transfer energy from someone to another, the fourth one is the ability to see an object's past by looking or touching the object and the fifth one is the ability to negate any magecraft with a touch; which is similar to my Rule Breaker."
"I want Karin to get the first one and Yuzu to get the fourth one," Ichigo said.
"If I may interject," Yhwach said as he appeared holding three empty schrifts.
"Go ahead Yhwach," Ichigo said.
"I wish to use those Magic Crests for these Schrifts," Yhwach said. Medea looked at the Magic Crests in her hands.
"Sure." She handed the Magic Crests to Yhwach. He placed tapped each of the Schrifts and Magic Crests together. The Schrifts drained the thaumaturgical capability of the Magic Crest. Yhwach handed the Magic Crests back to Medea.
"Give me a few moments to unravel these Magic Crests," Medea said. Yhwach nodded his head. He turned to Ichigo.
"Ready?"
"Sure," Ichigo replied. Yhwach handed Ichigo the first Schrifts.
"This one contains the ability to control people with strings," Yhwach said.
"I, Kurosaki Ichigo, bestow upon myself this schrift," Ichigo pushed the schrift inside him. Ichigo could feel his fingers twitch as something opened around his fingers. Ichigo looked to see nothing wrong with his fingers. Ichigo flicked his wrist. Small translucent reiatsu strings shout out of his fingertip. "Human shaped dummy," Ichigo said. A human-shaped dummy appeared in front of him. Ichigo flicked his fingers to the dummy. The small translucent reiatsu strings shot at the dummy. Suddenly the dummy jumped up.
"Move to the left." Ichigo thought as he moved his fingers. The dummy jumped to the left. "Jump to the right." Ichigo though as he moved his fingers. The dummy moved to the right.
"This reminds me of Ransōtengai," Ichigo commented.
"Indeed. Unlike Ransōtengai, this allows you to control others." Yhwach said. Ichigo spent a few more minutes practicing the new schrift. The dummy obeyed his commands, but its movements were very sluggish.
"This might take a while to master," Ichigo said.
"Indeed," Yhwach said. Ichigo deactivated the schrift and vanished the human-shaped dummy. "Have you considered a name for this schrift?"
"I do. I name this schrift, Schrift P: The Puppeteer." Ichigo said. Yhwach nodded his head as he gave the next schrift to Ichigo.
"This schrift allows you to understand and see the origin of an object," Yhwach said.
"I, Kurosaki Ichigo, bestow upon myself this schrift," Ichigo said. He pushed the schrift in. Ichigo couldn't feel anything different. "I think I need to be in the real world to test this out," Ichigo said.
"Agreed. Have you considered a name for this schrift?"
"Yes, Schrift R: The Rekishi (History)." Yhwach nodded his head as he handed Ichigo the last Schrift.
"Hm… this schrift somehow evolved," Yhwach commented.
"Oh? What happened?"
"This schrift still allows you to negate any magecraft with a touch," Yhwach started.
"But?"
"It also negates kidō and magic spells," Yhwach said.
"How did the schrift evolve like that?" Ichigo asked.
"I am not exactly sure but, it could be due to your experience with other forms of magic, the schrift evolved to accompany that experience." Yhwach theorized.
"I, Kurosaki Ichigo, bestow upon myself this schrift," Ichigo said. He pushed the schrift in. Ichigo couldn't feel anything different. "I'll try this later," Ichigo said. Yhwach nodded his head.
"Finally done," Medea said as she walked back to them. "I managed to unravel the empty magic crests. So, the total of magic circuits is 450." She announced.
"I recall that there are different qualities of magic circuits… do we have a breakdown of that?" Medea smiled.
"You remembered that. 100 of those of the magic circuits we have of C quality, 250 of the magic circuits are B quality while the remaining 100 are A quality." Medea said.
"Could we use the C quality and B quality magic circuits to create more quality magic circuits?" Medea smiled at Ichigo's question.
"We could. Many Magus are not aware that this is possible." Medea said as she pulled out the magic circuits. "I already did perform the necessary rituals to upgrade the medium quality to high quality."
"What is the current total?" Ichigo asked.
"We have 200 B quality magic circuits and 200 A quality magic circuits," Medea said.
"I want you to give Yuzu and Karin 25 B quality and 100 A quality each."
"That would give you 150 medium quality." Ichigo nodded his head.
"That's right."
"If I may ask…why?"
"Yuzu and Karin are one of the weaker members of the peerage. I want to give them this to help them get stronger. And I know that you wouldn't accept it if I gave them all of it, so I chose to give myself the lower quality one." Ichigo said. Medea nodded her head.
"Very well," Medea said. "I need you to enter your spirit form, strip down, and lie down on the ritual circle." Ichigo followed Medea's instruction. Medea summoned a dagger. She began to use the dagger to cut Ichigo's back. Ichigo could feel the slight itch from the dagger. She began the ritual; binding the magic circuits into Ichigo's body. Once the magic circuits were secured in his back, she closed up the wound. She continued this procedure throughout the rest of Ichigo's body. "Turn around," Medea ordered. Ichigo flipped around. She resumed the process. After an hour, she finished the process. "Ichigo, sit up please." Ichigo did as requested. Medea placed her hand on his back. "I need you to carefully let a small amount of reiatsu through these magic circuits," Medea instructed.
"Ok," Ichigo said as he closed his eyes. He allowed a minuscule amount of his reiatsu to flow into the magic circuits. Suddenly all the magic circuits in his body lit up in light green. The light green turned to a vibrant purple. Medea's eyes widen in surprise.
"Cut the connection!" Medea shouted. Ichigo immediately cut the flow of reiatsu. The magic circuits stop glowing purple.
"How much reiatsu did you push into the magic circuits.
"Less than a percent of my reiatsu." Medea closed her eyes and placed her hand on Ichigo's back. Her eyes opened in shock.
"How…how did the 150 B quality magic circuits evolve into 150 EX magic circuits?"
"I think I can answer that," Hōgyoku answered as she appeared.
"Hello Hōgyoku," Ichigo greeted.
"Hello Ichigo," Hōgyoku replied. She turned to Medea. "The reason why the magic circuits evolve is due to the simple fact that those magic circuits will not even survive that minuscule amount of reiatsu Ichigo sent to them. So Ichigo's body forced those magic circuits to evolve to handle that minuscule amount." Hōgyoku explained.
"Wait… you said to 'handle that minuscule amount'… so you are implying that Ichigo can force these magic circuits to evolve beyond EX quality?"
"Indeed," Hōgyoku replied.
"I guess you want me to let my reiatsu naturally flow through them?" Ichigo asked.
"Indeed. The evolution process just began when you cut off the connection," Hōgyoku said. Ichigo closed his eyes and allowed all of his reiatsu to flow into the magic circuits. The magic circuits began to glow purple. The magic circuits began to change colors. It went from purple to green, yellow, white, sky-blue, red, and finally black.
"I-Ichigo, can you cut the flow?" Medea asked. Ichigo nodded his head as he cut the flow. His magic circuits stopped glowing. Medea closed her eyes and placed her hand back on Ichigo's back.
"They evolved even further," Medea said as she opened her eyes.
"How far?" Ichigo asked.
"The quality scale supposed to end at EX, but your magic circuits are significantly stronger than before. My guess is at least EX+++++," Medea guessed. "While I am at it, do you want me to tell you your Origin and Element?"
"What are they?"
"Origin is the thing that defines us. A trait that defines one's existence and directs one's actions throughout life." Medea explained. Yhwach and Hōgyoku chuckled. Medea turned to them.
"Sorry," Yhwach apologized. "We were guessing Ichigo's origin would be something related to a protector of some kind." Medea cracked a smile.
"Seeing his past, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case." Medea placed her hand on Ichigo's back. She closed her eyes and concentrated. Ichigo could feel Medea's mana flowing through his soul. Her mana flowed back to her. She looked at Yhwach and Hōgyoku.
"His Origin is Guardian, which is similar to your guess."
"What about Element?" Ichigo asked.
"Well, Elements is essentially what kind of Magecraft you can use. In many Magecraft schools, it is usually: Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, and Void (Ether)."
"So, what is mine?" Ichigo asked.
"It's Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Ether, and Death," Medea said. Ichigo nodded his head.
"Makes sense," Ichigo replied remembering his elemental schrifts. Ichigo returned to his human body. Ichigo allowed his magic circuits to activate, glowing black.
"Looks like they transferred over to my human body as well," Ichigo said. Yhwach and Hōgyoku returned to Ichigo's mindscape.
"Yuzu. Karin." Ichigo said.
"Yes, Ichi-nii?" They replied.
"Can both of you come to the library?"
"Sure," Karin replied.
"Ok. Give me a bit." Yuzu replied. Ichigo waited a few minutes. Yuzu and Karin appeared beside Ichigo.
"What do you need from us Ichi-nii?" They asked.
"Do you want Magic Circuits?" Ichigo asked.
"What?" They replied, confused about Ichigo's question. Ichigo and Medea spent the next ten minutes explaining what Magic Circuits were.
"I accept," Karin replied.
"Will it hurt?" Yuzu asked.
"At first it will," Ichigo said but, it will go away in time.
"I need you to strip down and lie down on the ritual circle." Yuzu and Karin began to strip down. Ichigo closed his eyes and entered his mindscape to avoid seeing Yuzu and Karin naked.
Ichigo stayed in his mindscape for an hour. He used that time to practice his Schrift P: The Puppeteer. Ichigo used his soulless human body as his puppet. Ichigo managed to get it down to using three fingers instead of five. Ichigo left his mindscape to see Yuzu and Karin were dressed and was sitting in the ritual circles.
"I just finished giving them the magic circuits," Medea said. "I gave Karin the Magic Crest that allows her to summon destructive blue fire while I have Yuzu the Magic Crest that allows her to transfer energy from someone to someone else."
"I see," Ichigo said. Medea placed her hand on their backs. "I need you to carefully let a small amount of reiatsu through these magic circuits," Medea instructed.
"Ok." Yuzu and Karin said as they closed their eyes. Medea could feel all the magic circuits in their body lit up in light green.
"You two can cut the connection," Medea said. Their magic circuits stopped glowing. "Do you want me to tell you your Origin and Element?"
"What are they?"
"Origin is the thing that defines us. A trait that defines one's existence and directs one's actions throughout life." They turned to Ichigo.
"I've already had this done to me. I'll tell you two what my Origin and Element is." They nodded their heads.
"Who wants to be first?" Medea asked.
"I will," Karin replied. Medea slipped her hand underneath Karin's shirt and placed it on her back. Medea closed her eyes. Karin could feel Medea's mana flowing through her soul. Her mana flowed back to her. Medea removed her hand from Karin's back.
"Her Origin is Relentless."
"What does that mean?" Karin asked.
"A relentless person is someone who keeps trying and never gives up. However, you can use it to describe someone who keeps doing something annoying as well." Ichigo said.
"I see…" Karin said.
"As for her Element, it is Fire and Earth," Medea said.
"The Earth could be related to your Origin since Earth is usually associated with stubbornness and strong will." Ichigo theorized.
"Fire could also be like that since even a single ember could restart a fire," Yuzu added. Karin nodded her head.
Medea slipped her hand underneath Yuzu's shirt and placed it on her back. Medea closed her eyes. Yuzu could feel Medea's mana flowing through her soul. Her mana flowed back to her. Medea removed her hand from Yuzu's back.
"Her Origin is Mother," Medea said. Ichigo, Yuzu, and Karin laughed.
"That makes too much sense," Ichigo said.
"You're right," Karin said.
"Anyways, her element is Ether and Water," Medea said.
"Ether could be due to the new Magic Crest." Ichigo theorized.
"Water could be because you tried to be the peacekeeper in the family," Karin said.
"But if you pissed off Yuzu, then you are going to have a bad time," Ichigo added.
In the distance, there was a large explosion of black flames. Ichigo glanced to see both Yasaka and Tamamo knocked each other out. Ichigo shook his head.
"Medea, can you help Yuzu and Karin get started in using their Magic Circuits?"
"Sure," Medea replied as they disappeared. Ichigo walked to the unconscious kitsunes. Ichigo vanished the destruction, healed both kitsunes, and woke them up.
"Ichigo, who won?" They asked upon waking up. They turned towards each other.
"I won!" Yasaka yelled.
"No, I did! I knocked you out first!" Tamamo replied.
"It was a tie," Ichigo announced.
"So, are we going to fight again?" Yasaka asked.
"I am down for that," Tamamo replied as she summoned her fans again.
"Nope." Ichigo countered. "I allowed both of you to try to deal with the situation and it still hasn't resolved yet. Now I am going to take over." Ichigo said.
"Yes Ichigo," Yasaka replied.
"Yes Husband," Tamamo replied.
"He's not your husband. He will be mine!" Yasaka yelled.
"No mine!" Tamamo replied.
"Enough," Ichigo said. He turned to Tamamo. "Tamamo, I am no one's official husband, yet." Ichigo turned to Yasaka. "Yasaka, how come you don't want Tamamo to take over?"
"Because I don't want her to destroy the legacy that I rebuilt after she died," Yasaka said.
"Huh?" Tamamo said, confused at Yasaka's reason. Yasaka turned to her mother.
"If you didn't know mother, when you died, I had to fix all the chaos you caused during your reign. I had to punish many of the mischievous kitsunes for taking their games 'too far'. I finally managed to get that all under control." Ichigo summoned some tea. Yasaka drank some tea before continuing. "Excluding the fact that we need to explain how you returned to the World of the Living, the remaining kitsunes' from your reign might see this as a sign they could do whatever they want again."
"I wasn't that bad," Tamamo argued.
"Based on the legends we have of Tamamo-no-Mae, I beg to differ," Ichigo said. Tamamo pouted with her fox ears closed on her forehead. "Anyways…" Ichigo turned to Tamamo "Why do you want to take control again?"
"I-I want my daughter and my granddaughter to spend more time with each other," Tamamo admitted. Yasaka was shocked at Tamamo's response. "I remember the times when you were little. You would run around, causing chaos and mayhem to get my attention. I saw the sad look you gave me every time I had to push you to the side. I don't want Kunou to suffer as you did." Tamamo admitted.
"Kaa-san," Yasaka said as she hugged Tamamo. Tamamo hugged her daughter back.
"If that is the case," Ichigo said as they let go. "Then why don't each of you take turns being the leader," Ichigo said.
"Take turns," Yasaka started.
"Being a leader?" Tamamo said.
"Yes. Each month one of you will be in Kyoto while the other one is here with Kunou. That way, Kunou could spend time with either her mother or grandmother. It also allows Kunou to try and have a normal childhood since no one would recognize her." Ichigo said.
"But will we let people know Kaa-san is back?" Yasaka asked.
"I could just turn into you," Tamamo said as she transformed into Yasaka.
"If you need any help, Tamamo could also use the peerage connection to contact you to see the situation and tell her how you would deal with the situation," Ichigo added. Tamamo transformed back to her normal self.
"I guess that could work," Yasaka said. "But how long for each rotation?"
"Maybe a month?" Ichigo suggested.
"Sure," Tamamo replied. She turned to Yasaka. "Are you fine with it?" Yasaka stood there in silence for a few moments.
"I am fine with it. But we will need to go to Kyoto so that I can get you situated for next week."
"Sure," Tamamo replied. With they all left the trainer.
Scene Change: Ichigo's Estate
Ichigo, Tamamo, and Yasaka appeared in a library. Kyōka and a few of the maids were working on filling the empty shelves with books.
"Ichigo, Akasha wants to see you when you are available," Kyōka said as she handed a stack of books to a maid.
"Where is she right now?" Ichigo asked.
"I believe she is outside, supervising Yuri and her squad of maids," Kyōka answered as she summoned another stack of books from Ichigo's mindscape.
"Thank you," Ichigo said as he walked downstairs. He walked out and could see Akasha and Yuri standing there; watching the maids who began to plant seeds in the ground. Ichigo walked over to them.
"Kurosaki-sama," Yuri said as she bowed to him. All the other maids stopped what they were doing turned to Ichigo.
"Kurosaki-sama." The said and bowed to him. Ichigo sighed. The maids resumed their work.
"How is it going, Yuri?" Ichigo asked.
"Kurosaki-sama, farming is going well. Due to Akasha-Sama's efforts, the ground was already prepared and ready to plant the seeds in." Yuri reported. Ichigo nodded his head.
"I guess we need to wait a few months to see any progress."
"Not necessary Kurosaki-sama. With Izayoi-san's time manipulation ability, we can accelerate the growth rate of the food."
"I see…" Ichigo said. "Keep up the good work."
"Yes, Kurosaki-sama." Ichigo turned to Akasha.
"Kyōka said you wanted to see me?"
"I do. Yasaka handed this to me earlier today." Akasha handed Ichigo a white envelope. Ichigo opened the envelope and read the letter.
"I assume you want to go."
"I do. Especially since it's going on right now." Akasha said with a mischievous smile.
"Wait, let's add something else to this," Ichigo said.
"What?" Ichigo leaned in and whispered his idea. Akasha's mischievous smile grew even bigger than before.
"Let's do it." She said.
Scene Change: Ruby was standing outside the gate to Yōkai Academy; sweeping the area. She was dressed in her usual pink corset, a long black skirt with frills at the end, and high-heeled black shoes. As she swept, she was lost in her mind.
"It has been 16 days since Tsukune, Moka, Kurumu, and Mizore left Yōkai Academy." She thought. "They all left without telling me or Yukari what happened." Suddenly she felt her bracelet vibrate, breaking her from her thoughts. "Oh? Someone just arrived through the Dimension Tunnel." From the distance, she could hear wheels rolling. "Hm…it's strange, for a Yōkai to arrive by car." She could see a Toyota Century slowly driving towards the gate. The windows were tinted black, concealing the occupants from view. The car stopped in front of Ruby. The driver's side opened as a slim, young woman with shiny thigh-length straight purple hair stepped out of the driver's side. She was dressed in a maid uniform. Ruby could see that she had a katana on her side. She ignored Ruby as she walked to the passenger door and opened it. Ichigo and Akasha stepped out of the Toyota Century. Ichigo was dressed in a white shirt and black pants with a black jacket. Akasha was dressed in Moka's old Yōkai Academy uniform, slightly enlarged to fit her.
"Thank you Saeko," Ichigo said.
"I live to serve," Saeko replied as she bowed to them. Ichigo and Akasha to Ruby.
"Oh, Moka! It's good to see you." Ruby shouted as she went to hug her friend.
"Ah, Ruby, it's good to see you too," Akasha replied; pretending to be the pink-haired Moka.
"Ruby-san, we have a meeting with Tenmei," Ichigo said.
"Oh. Allow me to escort both of you to Mikogami-sama." Ruby replied. The three walked towards Yōkai Academy. Many of the students looked at them. Some speculated why they were there.
"I bet Moka is tired of the human world and wants to return to Yōkai Academy."
"Na. I bet they are here because the Headmaster wanted them."
"I bet they're a guest speaker for an assembly." Ichigo and Akasha ignored them as they entered the school. Ruby approached the Headmaster's office. She walked to the door and knocked.
"Yes?" Tenmei said. Ruby opened the door and popped her head inside.
"Mikogami-sama, I have Kurosaki-sama and Moka-san here to see you."
"Oh? Let them in."
"Very well," Ruby said as she moved away from the door. The door opened further as Ichigo and Akasha walked inside. Ruby closed the door behind her.
"Ah Kurosaki-sama, Akashiya-san." Tenmei greeted. They noticed Nurari was also in the office, smoking a cigar as usual. They sat down in the chairs nearby. "Akashiya-san you've grown much in since the last time I saw you." Akasha smiled.
"Thank you Tenmei. It's good to feel young." Akasha replied. Tenmei and Nurari paused for a moment.
"Akashiya-san never called me by my name," Tenmei said. They turned and got a closer look at Akasha.
"Figured it out yet." Tenmei's and Nurari's eyes widen in shock.
"A-akasha?" Tenmei asked. Akasha smiled.
"Good job Tenmei. Took your little Kishin brain long enough to figure it out." Akasha criticized.
"Hahaha! That's definitely Akasha. Only she could insult you and can beat you a fight." Nurari laughed. Tenmei chuckled as he sat back down.
"So how are you here? Ichigo said you died with Alucard."
"Well, it all begins with a simple question," Akasha started. "Have you heard of the Holy Grail Wars?" Tenmei and Nurari nodded their heads. Akasha explained how she was summoned and due to Ichigo's action she was able to remain here.
"So that's why Raikou was there at the Shuzen Estate," Nurari said. Akasha nodded her head. Tenmei turned to Nurari.
"R-Raikou's also here?" Tenmei nervously said.
"Yep. Scared of her?"
"Um…" Nurari began to laugh once again at his brother's suffering.
"Nurari, stop it." Tenmei countered.
"Well…" Akasha said as they stood up. "It's been nice seeing you two."
"Indeed. Enjoy this new life." Tenmei said.
"Yep. I think you found someone who loves you for who you are instead of what you are." Nurari added. Ichigo and Akasha smiled as they left. They walked out of Tenmei's office. Many of the students continued to whisper about them. They were crossing the forest when suddenly a large panda burst through the forest.
"Rah!" The large panda roared. Ichigo and Akasha looked unamused by the large panda.
"Pan-Pan, get back here." Someone said. A young Chinese looking man with black hair and feminine looking eyes and face. He was dressed in Chinese clothing. "Sorry about Pan-Pan." The young man apologized.
"It's not a problem," Ichigo replied.
"Who are you?" Akasha asked.
"I am Fāngfāng Huáng." Fāngfāng introduced.
"I am Kurosaki Ichigo." Fāngfāng's eyes widen.
"I've heard about you. You're the one who crushed Fairy Tale." Fāngfāng said.
"Oh god. Not another fanboy." Ichigo mentally groaned.
"It could be worse," Akasha replied.
"I entered this academy so I could find strong individuals like yourself. So, Kurosaki-san, won't you join my family?"
"No," Ichigo said. They turned away from Fāngfāng and began to walk away.
"FINE THEN!" Fāngfāng yelled as he drew a few talismans. "Fight me Kurosaki-san. If I win then you have to join the Huáng Family."
"I refuse!" Ichigo yelled as they continued to walk away.
"If you don't wish to duel then I just have to force you to duel me." Fāngfāng used the coins in his sleeves to create a sword made out of coins. He stabbed the talisman with the coin sword. "I am a Yasha, in control of a hundred other ayashi." Fāngfāng said as a third eye opened up on his forehead. The talisman glowed as a flying serpent appeared beside him. "Now we fight." Fāngfāng ordered. The flying serpent flew towards Ichigo and Akasha. Ichigo turned around and punched the flying serpent in the face; instantly killing it. It collapsed on the ground. Ichigo and Akasha resumed walking towards the front of the school.
"Dang it." Fāngfāng said as the flying serpent disappeared. He pulled another talisman and stabbed it with his coin sword. This time a small chicken appeared. Fāngfāng fell to his knees in defeat.
"I can't win with Pyotan." Fāngfāng mumbled to himself.
"I need stronger friends to achieve our family's wish. I need strong people like Kurosaki-san."
"Interesting…I shall grant thine wish." Some replied. Fāngfāng opened his eyes in shock.
"Pyotan?" The little chick walked to the fallen talisman and devoured it. Its eyes glowed.
Ichigo and Akasha arrived at the parked Toyota Century. Saeko stepped out of the driver seat.
"Ready to leave Kurosaki-sama, Akasha-sama?" She asked.
"We are," Ichigo replied. Suddenly a giant phoenix, bigger than the Yōkai Academy, appeared.
"Kurosaki-sama, what is that?" Saeko asked. The giant phoenix turned towards them.
"Kurosaki…" The phoenix said. "Ooh… you are our target…" The phoenix flew towards Ichigo. "I shall kill you!" Ichigo shunpō'ed in front of the phoenix and grabbed the beak. Fāngfāng and all the other students stared in amazed and shock.
"Ichigo, do you need my help?" Akasha casually asked.
"Na, I got this." Ichigo casually replied. He easily lifted the phoenix and slammed it into the ground.
"BOOM!" Ichigo ignored it as he returned to Akasha and Saeko. Fāngfāng finally reached them.
"S-stop!" Fāngfāng yelled. Ichigo stopped and turned to Fāngfāng.
"Attack me one more time and I will end you." Ichigo threatened as he entered the car. Saeko entered the driver's side and drove off. Fāngfāng stared at the defeated phoenix. Ruby flew down beside Fāngfāng.
"Huáng -kun you earned yourself detention for a month and your family will be notified of what you did," Ruby reported. Fāngfāng fell on his knees and began to cry in despair.
Scene Change: Ichigo's Estate
Saeko drove the Toyota Century out of the dimensional tunnel to the Estate. Saeko parked the car in the parking lot. She got out of the driver's side and opened the door for them.
"Thank you Saeko," Ichigo said. Saeko replied with a bow. Artoria walked out of the estate.
"Ichigo, are you busy right now?"
"Hm…not really," Ichigo admitted.
"Earlier at Hogwarts, you mentioned meeting Ddraig and Albion. Do you think we can do that right now?" Artoria asked.
"Sure," Ichigo said as they walked inside the estate. They used the portal to arrive at the house in Kuoh Town. They walked to Issei's mansion. Ichigo knocked on the door. The door opened to reveal Issei.
"Hello Ichigo-sensei." Issei said.
"Hello Issei, can we come in?"
"Um… sure. Just don't mind the guests." Ichigo and Artoria walked inside. They walked into the living room to see the people there. Ichigo recognized Koneko and Vali were there. The third person was a new addition. She was a beautiful young woman with long black hair with split bangs and hazel-golden cat-like eyes. She was dressed in a black kimono, a yellow obi, a set of golden beads, and an ornately detailed headband. Ichigo could see a pair of black cat ears on her head and two black tails. She was talking to Koneko.
"Hello, Koneko." Koneko turned to Ichigo.
"Hello, Ichigo-sensei." She replied. Vali and the other woman turned to Ichigo.
"I assume you are Koneko's sister?"
"I am." She replied. "Kuroka." She briefly activated her Senjutsu, as an attempt to see Ichigo's power. Kuroka's eyes widen in shock seeing how much power Ichigo has.
"Judging the shocked look in your eyes, you attempted to see how powerful I am." Ichigo casually said. Kuroka nodded her head.
"Um… Ichigo-sensei." Issei said. Ichigo glanced at him. "Why are you here?"
"Sorry about that," Ichigo said. "I wanted to talk with Ddraig about something." Ichigo glanced at Vali. "Since Albion is here, it works even better," Ichigo said. Issei summoned his Boosted Gear. While Vali summoned his Divine Dividing.
"Manifest!" Ddraig shouted. Vali and Albion were shocked when Ddraig appeared in the Scale Mail Armor.
"How are you able to manifest like that?" Albion asked. They could hear the desire in Albion's voice.
"Ha! I'll never tell you!" Ddraig proudly boasted.
"I did it," Ichigo responded.
"You?" Albion asked.
"I did."
"Can you do it for me?" Albion asked.
"For a price," Ichigo replied with a smirk.
"Anything!" He begged.
"Give me a copy of the Divine Dividing," Ichigo said.
"What?" Ddraig and Albion shouted. Ichigo shrugged his shoulders.
"Let me think about it," Albion said.
"Ok," Ichigo said. "Everyone, this is Artoria. Artoria, meet Ddraig, Issei, Albion, Vali, Koneko, and Kuroka." Ichigo introduced. Artoria nodded her head. "Anyways, Ddraig and Albion, I want you to feel Artoria's energy. Tell me what you sense from her."
"Hm…" Ddraig and Albion mumbled, feeling Artoria's energy. "Impossible!" The shouted. All the devils turned to the two Sacred Gears.
"What happened?" Issei and Vali asked their respective Sacred Gear.
"I could sense a small fragment of my energy in her," Ddraig said.
"So…so can I," Albion said.
"How is this possible? Our respective energies should belong in our partner's body; not some stranger."
"When you were alive, battling the Christian God, do you remember a man with sky blue/white hair. He wore a white robe and has a black staff with multitudes of colors on the ribbons wrapped around it.
"Oh, I remember him alright," Ddraig said.
"Indeed. His illusions were very annoying to deal with." Albion added.
"Annoying? Some of them were horrifying." Ddraig said. "He used an illusion of Tiamat of all things on us. How does he know what Tiamat looks like?"
"Don't even remind me," Albion said.
"Since you remember him so much, his name was Myrddin, or commonly known as Merlin." Artoria continued.
"Wait…Merlin." Issei said.
"Mentor…" Vali said.
"Wait, doesn't that mean you are..." Issei and Vali realized.
"I am Artoria Pendragon, Once and Future King of Britannia." Artoria said.
"Wait… you're Arthur's and Ley Fe's ancestor." Issei said.
"Indeed. I've already met them." Artoria said.
"So how did our magic get inside you?" Ddraig asked.
"When both of your souls were separated from your main body, the Christian/Catholic God allowed Myrddin to obtain your damaged magic cores from your bodies. The damaged magic cores still allowed me to use magic, but I can't use your powers." Artoria said.
"It also doesn't help that her wand uses both of your heartstrings," Ichigo added.
"WHAT!" The dragons yelled. Artoria summoned her wand. She handed it to Ddraig.
"I could feel a spark of my energy in this," Ddraig said as he handed it to Vali. Vali awkwardly held the wand.
"So, can I," Albion said as Vali handed the wand back to Artoria.
"So why did you bring this to our attention?"
"First off, I wanted to meet the dragons whose magic core and heartstrings are a part of me now." Artoria started. "The other reason is that I wanted to see if the magic core could use your magic again."
"Hm… that may be possible," Ddraig said. "We would have to use our basic technique on you and get that magic core to remember what we used to do."
"I see…" Artoria said. "Try it.
"Boost," Ddraig said as he the Scale Mail glowed red. Ddraig pointed his hand to Artoria. Ddraig focused on his magic core in Artoria's body. "Transfer." He said as he transferred the collected energy to Artoria's magic core. Artoria could feel herself get stronger from Ddraig's spell. However, there wasn't any response from the spell. Ddraig repeated the process. After the fourth time, Artoria could feel something from that magic core. She could feel different magic energy coming from that magic core.
"Boost." She said. Suddenly Artoria could feel herself getting stronger. "Boost." She repeated. Everyone could tell Artoria was getting even stronger than before.
"Artoria, release that energy," Ichigo ordered. Artoria pointed her wand at Ichigo and fired a large spell at Ichigo. Ichigo activated Schrift N: The Negate. The spell was canceled out before it reached Ichigo's hands.
"Seems like it worked Albion," Ddraig said with a smirk.
"Fine," Albion said. "Unlike you, I will not be doing this for free."
"Kuroka," Ichigo said
"Huh?" She said, looking at Ichigo.
"Did you kill your previous master out of self-defense?"
"H-how did you know?" She asked; shocked that Ichigo knew the truth. Koneko turned to Kuroka with confused and disbelief on her face.
"I am an older brother," Ichigo said. "The older sibling is born first to protect the little ones that come after them." Kuroka nodded her head. Ichigo turned to Vali. "If you help Artoria then I will help get the charges on her overturned." Ichigo proposed.
"Couldn't you directly help her?" Artoria mentally asked.
"I could but it would look better if I will ask Kuroka for her side of the story and then bring this up to Sirzechs. That way it appears that I respect Sirzechs's administration. " Vali looked at Kuroka. He could see in her eyes that she wants this. Vali sighed.
"Albion, do as he asked," Vali said.
"Very well," Albion said. White strings attached itself to Artoria. "Ichigo, can you send me a low powered attack for me to use my abilities on?" Ichigo threw a ball of reiatsu at Vali. Vali caught the ball. "Divide," Albion said. Artoria could feel Albion's energy flow into the other magic core in her body. Albion repeated the process eight more times before Artoria's magic core began to work. She looked at the orb in Vali's hand.
"Divide." She said as she drained half the remaining energy from the reiatsu ball and added it to her magic reserves.
"Looks like it works," Ichigo said.
"Albion, do you accept my offer from before?" Ichigo asked.
"I do. I want to wipe that smug look off of Ddraig's face." Albion said.
"Very well," Ichigo said.
"Hōgyoku, if you would," Ichigo asked. Hōgyoku appeared. Kuroka and Vali were surprised at the sudden appearance of Hōgyoku.
"Don't worry. She is one of the physical manifestations of my powers." Ichigo casually explained. Hōgyoku then placed her hands-on Divine Dividing. She closed her eyes and concentrated. She saw the seals on Divine Dividing. She found the seals that prevented Albion from leaving the Sacred Gear and the seals that prevented Albion from teaching Vali his original skills. Before she left, she found a unique seal. It prevents the Albion or his wielder from passing on miniature versions of Divine Dividing. She broke all three seals. From the outside, three of the white scales turned purple.
"It is done Dragon. Now try and manifest yourself." From the Sacred Gear, the blue wings began to glow. Soon heard Manifest! The blue wings stop glowing as Albion appeared in the Scale Mail.
"Freedom! It has been so long!" Albion said.
"While I was there, I broke two other seals," Hōgyoku said.
"Oh?" Albion asked.
"Yes. The first seal prevented Albion from teaching his wielder directly." Hōgyoku said. Vali turned to Issei.
"That's how you quickly caught up to me," Vali said. Issei smiled.
"The other seal is more important," Hōgyoku said. "The other seal prevents you from giving other people copies of Divine Divide."
"What!?" Everyone said.
"I could potentially give someone else a copy of Divine Divide?" Vali asked.
"Indeed. However, I couldn't tell how powerful that copy is or the side effects on the original." Hōgyoku said.
"We should try this out," Vali said.
"Indeed," Ichigo said as he summoned an unnamed schrift. He handed it to Vali. Albion returned to Divine Divide. Vali took the unnamed schrift. Vali closed his eyes.
"I, Vali Lucifer, the White Dragon Emperor," Vali started.
"I, Albion, the White Vanishing Dragon of Supremacy," Albion said.
"Bestow upon Kurosaki Ichigo a part of our power." They said together. Vali and Albion could feel a part of their soul separate itself from their body and flowed into the schrift. The schrift glowed a light blue. Vali stumbled on the couch.
"Vali!" Kuroka cried as she went to her friend. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah. That was draining."
"Indeed," Albion said. "I don't think we could go into Balance Breaker for a while," Albion said.
"I see…" Vali said. Ichigo nodded his head.
"It makes sense. Both of you need to agree to perform the technique knowing that both of you will be severely weakened for the time being." The schrift flew back to Ichigo's hand.
"I, Kurosaki Ichigo, bestow upon myself this schrift," Ichigo said as he pushed the schrift into his body. Ichigo could hear an unknown dragon's roar in his mind.
"Kisara, Valiona, was that either one of you?"
"No Master." They answered.
"It came from the new schrift, "Yhwach said.
"Ok." Ichigo thought.
"I name this Schrift D: The Diablo Divider." Ichigo named.
"How poetic," Albion commented. Vali chuckled at the name.
"What about me?" Issei asked. Ichigo turned to Issei and Ddraig.
"You want me to remove that seal on you?" Ichigo asked.
"I do."
"Very well." Hōgyoku walked over to Ddraig. She placed her hand on the Scale Mail's chest. She quickly found the seal and broke it. Another scale on the Boosted Gear turned purple.
"It's done," Hōgyoku said. Ichigo handed Issei an unnamed schrift.
"I, Issei Hyoudou, the Red Dragon Emperor," Issei started.
"I, Ddraig, the Red Dragon Of Domination," Ddraig said.
"Bestow upon Kurosaki Ichigo a part of our power." They said together. Issei and Ddraig could feel a part of their soul separate itself from their body and flowed into the schrift. The schrift glowed a red. Issei stumbled on the couch; falling next to Vali.
"Issei. Are you ok?" Koneko asked.
"Yes Koneko," Issei said as he gently patted her head. Issei turned to Ichigo. "Man, Vali wasn't kidding about the exhaustion." Ichigo took the schrift from Issei.
"I, Kurosaki Ichigo, bestow upon myself this schrift," Ichigo said as he pushed the schrift into his body. Ichigo could hear another unknown dragon's roar in his mind. "I name this Schrift B: The Battle Booster."
"Very shonen name," Issei commented. Ichigo shrugged his shoulders.
"I wanted the names to be an alliteration since the Divine Divide was already one," Ichigo said. "Anyways, is Ddraig and Albion strong enough to manifest themselves?" Ichigo asked.
"Why?" Ddraig asked as he appeared. Albion followed right after.
"I want to see if you two could help with Artoria get started with her new powers." The two Dragon Emperors shrugged their shoulders.
"Sure," Ddraig said.
"Might as well," Albion said.
"Uh." Issei stood up. "Let me show you the training area." Issei turned to Vali and waved for him to follow. It took Vali a few seconds to realized what Issei and Ichigo were doing. Vali stood up and left; leaving Ichigo alone with Kuroka and Koneko.
"Kuroka, can you tell me about your previous master?" Ichigo asked.
"Where do I begin…" Kuroka mumbled. Koneko paid close attention to Kuroka.
"Shirone was a baby kitten when our parents were killed. I tried to take care of us as much as possible. The Nekomata population despised us for being a Nekoshou. They wouldn't give us any money or help us at all. Eventually, a devil found us. He offered us a better life if I allowed myself to be reincarnated as a devil. With no other options available to us, I accepted." Kuroka paused as Koneko hugged her arm. "For a while it was great. We were given new clothes, fed, and a safe place to live in. We weren't aware of how dangerous he was. That devil specialized in chimera experiments. He used his peerage members as test subjects. He used a band to make them appear normal. I stumbled upon him writing plans." Kuroka paused as she looked at Koneko. "His latest plan was to use Shirone and combine her with his body to make it stronger. His queen, who appeared to be a Hydra chimera, asked him about me. He laughed. He planned to bound me in a chair and watch as he commits the ritual. After that was done, he would force me to watch the memory over and over until I broke. He would then make me more obedient with the use of the King Piece. He planned to see if Senjutsu would help with his experiments. Hearing all of this made me go berserk. I barged in the room and attacked them. He ordered his entire peerage to stop me. I easily killed them all. Suddenly the rest of the manor descended and tried to stop me. I was forced to run away… and abandoned the most important person there." Kuroka hugged Koneko; who was crying and accepted Kuroka's hug. Ichigo sat there with his notes; patiently waited. Ichigo understood what they are going through. He jumped into Hell to rescue his sister. Koneko's tears stopped. She turned to Ichigo.
"Thank you for waiting," Kuroka said.
"No problem. I understand myself. A few years ago, I jumped to Hell itself to rescue my sisters." Kuroka's eyes widen in disbelief.
"And you survived?"
"I did," Ichigo said.
"Ichigo-sensei is very strong," Koneko said.
"Anyways, is it possible for me to get a copy of that memory?" Ichigo asked.
"How?" Ichigo summoned Mysteria in her wand form. "Just think about that memory." Kuroka nodded her head as Ichigo tapped her forehead with his wand. He slowly moved it away from her forehead. A silver string followed Ichigo's wand. Ichigo summoned a glass vial and placed the silver string in it. "I'll talk to Sirzechs about this. Are you planning to stay here for the night?"
"I…guess?" She said.
"Good. Sirzechs may come by for your testimony." Ichigo said as he stood up. Koneko grabbed his arm.
"Thank you for the help nee-san." She said. Ichigo smiled as he gently patted her head.
"No problem." Koneko let go of his arm.
"Artoria, are you staying here?"
"You're leaving?"
"Ya."
"Ok. I'll stay here with them for a while"
"Ok. See you soon," Ichigo said.
"Akasha, Gilgamesh, and Medea, please meet me in my office," Ichigo said.
"Very well," Medea replied.
"Ok," Gilgamesh said.
A few minutes later, everyone arrived at Ichigo's office. Ichigo sat behind the table. Akasha and Medea took the chairs on the other side of the table. Gilgamesh leaned on the wall with a glass of wine in her hand.
"Thank you for coming," Ichigo said as he turned on his computer. We got a few to talk about before we proceed." Ichigo said. "According to the news around America, there is a lot of unusually harsh weather going on right now."
"Oh?" Akasha asked.
"Indeed. According to Hades/Pluto, the Greek Gods relocated to America."
"I apologize for interrupting but Amaterasu-sama sent me an important message about America," Yasaka said through the peerage connection.
"That's ok. What did she say?"
"According to rumors, the Titans have reawakened," Yasaka warned.
"According to rumors from Amaterasu-sama, the Titans have reawakened," Ichigo repeated.
"It appears the Titanomachy has come once more," Medea said. Gilgamesh and Akasha nodded their heads.
"Tell Amaterasu-sama that I said thank you," Ichigo said.
"Amaterasu-sama has one other message for you and you alone," Yasaka said.
"Go ahead."
"The Titans and the Greek Gods are known for their arrogance and may challenge you to a duel. If you participate then, you can claim a part or all of their authority if you defeat them." Yasaka said.
"I see…" Ichigo said. "I will keep an eye on that." Yasaka ended the connection. Ichigo turned to Gilgamesh, Akasha, and Medea.
"First, we can still agree that we still going to America," Ichigo said. They all nodded their heads. "So, how should we get there? All their flights to the United States are severely delayed due to the unusually harsh weather."
"We could use the Vimana," Gilgamesh said.
"The Vimana?" Ichigo questioned.
"It's a flying contraption that I own," Gilgamesh said.
"How fast could it go?" Ichigo asked.
"Vimana is capable of flying at the speed of thought," Gilgamesh answered.
"I doubt the Vimana could handle all of us on it," Ichigo said. Gilgamesh smirked.
"Indeed. With us on the Vimana, it would still be able to go 7500 km per hour (4660.284 miles per hour)."
"With the Vimana, we should arrive in America in less than two hours," Ichigo said.
"Indeed," Gilgamesh said.
"Before we leave, let me do some further research on what's going on in America before we decided when to go," Ichigo said. They all nodded their heads. "It also allows us one more chance to enjoy one more of Yuzu's home cooking." Ichigo teased. Somehow Yuzu's cooking amazed Gilgamesh so much that he would give everything in his Gate of Babylon for more of Yuzu's cooking.
"Indeed," Gilgamesh said, trying to control her excitement for Yuzu's cooking.
"Yuzu, have you started dinner yet?" Ichigo asked.
"I'm working on it right now." Yuzu replied. "The servants are helping me make as well." She replied.
"Just don't overwork yourself," Ichigo said.
Ichigo pulled out his phone and dialed Sirzechs.
"Hello Ichigo," Sirzechs said
"Hello Sirzechs, can I talk to you in your office?"
"Sure. I need a break from this paperwork." Sirzechs hung up the phone. Ichigo rolled his eyes as he opened a red Garganta and entered it. All the other Servants left Ichigo's office.
Scene Change: Sirzechs's office
Ichigo appeared in Sirzechs's office. Ichigo could see Sirzechs's desk is full of paperwork.
"Thank you, Ichigo!" Sirzechs said as he carefully moved away from his desk. Sirzechs guided Ichigo to a pair of couches. "Anything to drink?"
"Just some tea. Yuzu cooking some dinner right now," Ichigo said. Sirzechs nodded his head as Grayfia appeared with a pot of hot tea and a teacup. She placed it down on the table in front of Ichigo.
"Thank you Grayfia."
"No problem Wrath-sama." She replied as she disappeared. Ichigo groaned as he poured himself a cup of tea. Sirzechs chuckled as he poured himself a glass of amber liquid.
"Someone hates titles?" Sirzechs joked.
"Don't even get started with that." Ichigo countered. Sirzechs chuckled as he sat down in front of Ichigo.
"How's the Underworld and the 72 Pillars?" Ichigo asked.
"Much smoother now that the Deadly Sins have been found and all of us have them," Sirzechs replied.
"I see…" Ichigo said.
"You do know that because you possess the Sin of Wrath, you do have the right to be a Maou," Sirzechs said.
"There is no point since I am also the Jigoku no Kōtei, which is higher rank compared to the Maou."
"True," Sirzechs said as he took a sip of his drink. "So, what can I do for you?"
"I was wondering if you know anything currently going on with the Greco-Roman Gods in America?" Ichigo asked.
"Where do I begin," Sirzechs said as he took a sip of his drink. "Zeus is a big playboy and overall a dick."
"At least that part of his legend is true." Ichigo joked.
"In seriousness, the Olympians are the only pantheons that haven't weaken too much since the fall of the Age of Gods."
"I see…" Ichigo said.
"Also, there are rumors of potential conflict currently going on."
"Oh?"
"According to the intelligence we gathered from the captured Yōkai, Fallen Angels and Devils, an envoy of the Titan Army approached them to seek an alliance for an incoming war with the Olympians." Ichigo nodded his head.
"According to the news, huge unnatural storms are rocking the entire nation." Sirzechs nodded his head.
"Much of the supernatural events are covered by the Mist.
"The Mist?"
"The Mist is a tool that Hecate, Titan goddess of the Mist, magic, and crossroads manages. It can manipulate the sight of the nonmagical people; preventing them from discovering the existence of magic, monsters, gods, Titans, and other supernatural occurrences that happens."
"I see… that tool is impressive."
"Indeed, but there are too many problems with it. Strong enough humans could break through the mist. Luckily the Magical Congress of the United States of America can help cover up the things the Mist misses."
"The American Witches and Wizards call their government that?"
"Indeed. Very rarely do people use the full name. The majority call it the MACUSA instead."
"I see…"
"Getting back on track," Sirzechs said as he took a sip of his drink. "An envoy from the Titan Army talked with them."
"Any idea on his name?"
"Prometheus, the Titan of Crafty Counsel and Forethought," Sirzechs said.
"I see… I assume they accepted?"
"They did. The date is supposed to be around this time."
"I see…" Ichigo said.
"I assume you are going to America?" Sirzechs asked.
"I am. A friend of mine has a bone to pick with one of the Goddesses."
"Ouu, which one?"
"Aphrodite."
"He has a crush on her?" Ichigo chuckled.
"No. Aphrodite brain-controlled her to like someone. That brain control fucked her up. Now she's cured of it and wants revenge."
"Ouch. Be careful of her on and off husband, Ares." Sirzechs warned.
"It's fine," Ichigo said. "Anyways, is there an alliance between us and them?"
"Formally no," Sirzechs said as he glanced at the paperwork on his table. "Serafall has some connections with Hades/Pluto and Hermes/Mercury but that is it."
"How do you figure out which personality is in control of the body?" Ichigo asked. Sirzechs shrugged his shoulders.
"If they are in front of the demigods, then the personality that the demigods are aware of takes over."
"Demigod?"
"They aren't creative with their names," Sirzechs replied.
"I see…" Ichigo said.
"Be careful in America. There are other supernatural things there besides the Greco-Roman Gods and the MACUSA."
"I will be careful then," Ichigo said. He pulled out his notes from Kuroka's interview and the vial containing her memories. "I talked with Kuroka and I was wondering if you can overturn Kuroka's punishment." Sirzechs took Ichigo's notes and began to read it. By the end of it, Ichigo knew he had Sirzechs on board.
"I would do the same thing if someone wanted to do that to my Rias-tan."
"Same," Ichigo said.
"I will do what I can to help a fellow older sibling," Sirzechs said.
"She's currently staying at Issei's house."
"Good. This allows me to see her progress with my little training homework."
"Speaking of Rias, how is the extra time with Rias?" Sirzechs's face lit up with joy.
"I love it! My Ria-tan makes me so proud!" Sirzechs said. Ichigo chuckled; understanding Sirzechs's feelings. He too felt proud of Yuzu's and Karin's progress.
"Well, I got to go." Ichigo finished his tea as he stood up. "See you later." With that Ichigo opened a Garganta and left.
Scene Change: Kurosaki Estate
Ichigo appeared in his office. He walked downstairs to see everyone else was walking towards the dining hall. They arrived at the dining hall to see the long 32 seat table. Behind each seat was a maid. Sakuya sat standing behind Ichigo's spot. Ichigo sighed as he sat down in his chair.
"Is there something wrong, Master?" Sakuya asked.
"It's just that I am not used to something like this."
"I see…" Sakuya said. "Maybe use this for the formal event?"
"I guess," Ichigo replied.
"Is it fine for us to use it for tonight? Especially since you are leaving after this?" Sakuya asked.
"Sure," Ichigo said. Everyone sat at the long table. Ichigo had to sit at the front end of the table. Everyone else sat around him. Yuzu quickly joined them. She had a slightly annoyed pout on her face.
"I'm not the only one not used to the maids." The maids filed out of the kitchen, carrying dinner on a silver tray. They placed it in front of everyone on the dinner table.
"Itadakimasu." Everyone said as they dug in. Everyone quickly enjoyed the delicious meal. After the delicious meal, Ichigo went to his bedroom. He closed his eyes and entered his mindscape.
Scene Change: Mindscape
Ichigo could see everyone, from Zangetsu to Azrael were there. Ichigo turned to see two new faces were there. They were Dragon human hybrids that reminded Ichigo of Kisara and Valiona. Both the dragon hybrids were about 5 feet 8 inches. They both had light tan skin.
The first one had a pair of large red dragon wings on her back. Between those wings was waist long vibrant crimson hair. Ichigo could see bits of red scales around her bright green eyes. She was dressed in a red Deep V Neck t-shirt with a front crisscross. The opening and the crisscross emphasize her large breasts. She also has a pair of black jeans and a pair of black knee-high boot with gold studs on the sides. She reminded Ichigo of Rias.
While the other one had a pair of large white dragon wings on her back. Between those wings was shoulder-length platinum silver hair. Ichigo could see bits of white scales around her light sky-blue eyes. She was dressed in a long-sleeve button-up shirt with a few buttons purposely not done; allowing them to emphasize her large breasts. She had a matching black jacket, pants, and black boots. She reminded him of Vali if he was a girl.
"Hello Master," They said.
"Hello ladies," Ichigo said. "I'm going to assume you two are the physical manifestation of Schrift B: The Battle Booster and Schrift D: The Diablo Divider?"
"Indeed Master." They said.
"I'm the Schrift B: The Battle Booster." The red hair girl said.
"While I am Schrift D: The Diablo Divider," The platinum silver girl said.
"I assume you two want a name?"
"We do." Battle Booster said.
"Just don't give us a name related to Dad." Diablo Divider said.
"I assume your dad is Ddraig & Issei and Albion & Vali, respectively." They nodded their heads. "Hm…"
Ichigo turned to Battle Booster. "What about Vermillion?" Battle Booster thought about it for a few seconds.
"Sure." The newly dubbed Vermillion replied. Ichigo turned to Diablo Divider.
"What about Nightingale?" Ichigo said.
"Hm…" Diablo Divider thought. "It fine." The newly dubbed Nightingale said.
"So, did both of you inherited all of your father's powers?" Ichigo asked.
"We're not honestly sure," Vermillion said.
"We know that we have their base form," Nightingale said. They summoned the sealed state. Vermillion had a pair of red gauntlets on her arms. White and sky-blue wings appeared on Nightingale's back. A pair of white gloves with sky-blue prongs at the knuckles also appeared on her hands.
"The duel gauntlets and the white gloves are a new thing." Ichigo pointed out. Vermillion and Nightingale nodded her head.
"I'll start," Vermillion said. "Upon activation, the Battle Booster appears on your hands. Its positioned in a way that you can still use your Zanpakutōs or your spells." Ichigo nodded his head. "Every 10 seconds, you get a Booster Counter. You can use your Booster Counter to double the attack power of any attack exponentially."
"Wait…since I have two gauntlets, doesn't that mean I get two Booster Counter, one on each hand, every 10 seconds?" Vermillion smiled.
"Indeed Master."
"Oh, that's interesting."
"Indeed. You are a more versatile fighter compared to Father." Vermillion said.
"I'm aware Issei can transfer his powers to someone else. Do we still have that ability?"
"Indeed," Vermillion said. "You have two ways to do this. The first way is gathering the energy and apply the Booster Counter on that gathered energy. You can then fire that boosted energy at an ally or touch an ally. Your ally can instantly get the boosted energy but requires them to use the given energy immediately."
"What about the other way." Vermillion smiled.
"The other way is having your allies have a Battle Gear Booster on them."
"A what?" Ichigo asked. A red armband with a green gem appeared on Ichigo's arm.
"That is a Battle Gear Booster. You can transfer the Booster Counter to the Battle Gear Booster. Then your ally can use Booster Counter to power up their attack at their time of choosing."
"What's the downside?" Ichigo asked.
"The downside to transferring using the Battle Gear Booster is that it takes seven seconds to transfer a Booster Counter. Compared to immediately with the other method."
"I see…" Ichigo said.
"As for me…" Nightingale said. "I can drain half the energy of any attack and absorb that drained energy. I can do this once every 10 seconds. I can also drain half the opponent's energy if I can in contact with them." Ichigo nodded his head. "Now with these gloves," Nightingale pointed her gloves at Vermillion and shot out white strings from her knuckles to Vermillion. "With these Draining Strings, I can drain half their energy in a few seconds but, they could cut the strings." Ichigo nodded his head. "The strings could also be used to transfer the energy to someone else."
"How much energy could you store before you reached a limit?" Ichigo asked.
"Unlike Father, I don't have a limit." Nightingale turned around, to her back. "When Father's user reached their body's limit, the extra energy is released from the wings. For me, that extra energy is used to reinforce the Draining Strings and your body."
"I see… Do you know if you have access to Balance Breaker?"
"We're honestly not sure," Vermillion said.
"But I believe we have a similar version to it," Nightingale said.
"If you don't have it, we can show you how you could design your version of it for Master," Kisara said. Valiona nodded her head.
"Ok then let's see how these schrifts work," Ichigo said.
"Yes, Master!" They replied.
Scene Change: Ichigo's bedroom
Ichigo opened his eyes. He spent the rest of the night in his mindscape training with Vermillion and Nightingale. He was able to master their basic abilities. Ichigo glanced to see Scáthach and Raikou took his arms. Gilgamesh and Akasha took his legs. Zealot was behind Scáthach while Artoria was behind Raikou. All his Servants looked at Ichigo.
"Good morning Master." They all said.
"Morning ladies. Can I get out of bed to make breakfast?" Ichigo asked. They Scáthach, Raikou, Akasha, and Gilgamesh let go of Ichigo's limbs; allowing him to leave his bed. Ichigo walked into the restroom. A few minutes later he walked out. Ichigo arrived at the dinner table to see Sakuya already standing behind his chair. A plate of food already in her hand. Ichigo sighed as he sat down. Sakuya presented him with his breakfast. Slowly the rest of the peerage and other residents of the estate walked down. More maids poured out of the kitchen and gave them their breakfast.
After breakfast, Ichigo, Gilgamesh, Akasha, and Medea prepared to leave. They used the teleportation portal to appear in Kuoh Town. Gilgamesh summoned the Vimana. It is a golden and emerald ark. On top of the Vimana was four chairs. Ichigo and Gilgamesh sat in the front while Akasha and Medea sat behind them. The Vimana glowed golden before flying off.
"Gilgamesh, should we cast any spells to prevent us from being detected?" Medea asked.
"The Vimana has optical camouflage and stealth functions," Gilgamesh said as he activated those features. Everyone could see a slight shimmer around the Vimana; concealing them from detection. With that, they were off to America.
Hello everyone, hope you enjoyed this chapter. This will be the final chapter before I start the Percy Jackson & America Arc. Anyways, I will post an update stats chapter at the end of the Percy Jackson Arc. Yes, I just teased that there will be a bit (a lot) of shenanigans in America. Can anyone predict what things I will pull. Before anyone asks, I am currently not planning to cross the MCU YET... I may poke the MCU in a later chapter or two , comment below if you can think how. These bi-monthly chapters may end on September rolls around. School starts again and I'm not sure how my school is going to function with the COVID-19 in the picture. Anyways see you next time.
