Hades was currently talking with Persephone in his palace when he felt something powerful moving in the shadows. He stood up from his throne as he focused on the moving shadow. His eyes widen as his Helm of Darkness and the Sword of Hades appeared in his hand.
"Dear? What's wrong?" Persephone asked.
"Something is coming from Tartarus," Hades said as he entered the shadows; leaving Persephone in the throne room.
"Dam him and his shadow travel!" Persephone complained as she was stuck there.
Hades appeared at the cliff which led down to Tartarus. Hades stood there, ready to battle whatever monster dared come here. Soon the invader arrived and slipped out of the shadow.
"What's with the full-on battle mode?" Ichigo asked.
"I sensed something large rising from Tartarus. I feared that one of the remaining Titians in Tartarus was coming." Hades explained.
"Understandable," Ichigo said. "Where are the other Olympians?"
"They're at Camp Half-Blood, celebrating their victory over the Titans and mourning over the countless lives lost in the Battle," Hades said.
"Why aren't you there?" Ichigo asked.
"I-I wasn't invited."
"But you played a part in the battle. You and your army held back the rest of Kronos's army." Ichigo reasoned. Hades sighed. "I also have an important announcement that all the Olympians would want to hear," Ichigo said.
"Very well," Hades said. He wrapped Ichigo in the shadows and returned to the Palace. Hades and Persephone took a few minutes to change. With that, they were enveloped by the shadow.
Scene Change: Camp Half-Blood
Everyone was sitting in the mess hall. All the gods, except for Ares and Zeus, were sitting with Chiron. Luke and Ethan were forced to attend, enduring the hateful glare of the surviving campers. Despite this, everyone was drinking to their delight. The nearby shadows began to expand. Everyone turned to see Hades, Persephone, Nico and Ichigo appeared from the shadows.
"Are we too late for the party?" Hades asked.
"Nonsense brother," Poseidon said. "Your son could join the table with Percy." Ichigo, Hades, and Persephone joined the other Olympians at the table. Nico joined Percy and Annabeth at their table. Ichigo turned to Poseidon.
"Poseidon, I have a quick question for you."
"Go ahead Ichigo," Poseidon replied.
"Where is Briares?"
"He's back in the underwater forge with the other cyclops. They're celebrating in their way."
"Can I see him? I have something to show him."
"Hm… sure." Poseidon said. A small pool of water appeared. It showed Poseidon's reflection. It soon shimmered to show Briares's face.
"Lord Poseidon, what can I do for you?" Briares asked. In the background were cyclopes were partying in their forges.
"Briares, a friend of mine, wishes to see you," Poseidon said as he showed Ichigo.
"Hello, Briares." Ichigo started. "I have a present for you," Ichigo said. Briares looked confused.
"Why do you have a present for me. You don't even know me."
"True, but someone that knows you asked me to give you this present," Ichigo said. "I would even swear to the Styx that I don't have any ill intentions towards you," Ichigo reassured.
"No… I trust Lord Poseidon." Briares said. The water portal ended. In the distance, everyone could see Briares slowly walking out of the water. He carefully walked towards the Mess Hall. Ichigo left his seat and walked to Briares. Ichigo pulled out the Trainer.
"You must miss your brothers very much," Ichigo said. Briares looked at Ichigo.
"Why are you bringing them up? They faded away because no one remembered their story.
"Who said they faded away?" Ichigo asked as he took out the Trainer. He released Cottus and Gyges from the trainer. Briares's eyes widen in shock and disbelief.
"Cottus and Gyges." He said.
"Briares!" Cottus and Gyges replied. The three Hekatonkheire hugged each other. Tears of joy began to fall.
"Where were you two?" Briares asked.
"We were trapped in Tartarus," Cottus admitted. Briares turned to Ichigo.
"You rescued them from Tartarus." Briares realized.
"You were in Tartarus?" The many demigods shouted in shock, turning to Ichigo. Ichigo sighed.
"Yes, after the war, I was sent to Tartarus. I will not say why I was there." Ichigo said. He turned to the other Olympians. "This leads up to the other reason why I am here," Ichigo said. Ichigo snapped his fingers. Hellhounds began to rise up from the shadow. All the demigods looked weary at the hellhounds. During my trip to Tartarus, I became the King of Hellhounds." Ichigo casually said. All the Olympians and Demigods looked at Ichigo as if he was crazy. Ichigo ignored their looks. "Anyways, I ordered the Hellhounds to help the demigods." Ichigo continued. "They'll help keep an eye out on the demigods. They will not attack a demigod unless someone attacked them." Ichigo said as he looked at the demigods.
"Anything else?" Poseidon said, taking temporary control.
"Yes," Ichigo said. "Tartarus has temporary reawaken," All the Olympians looked shocked. Ichigo ignored their shocked reaction and continued talking, "and enforced a new rule upon all monsters."
"What is that rule?" Hades asked the only one who wasn't shocked by Ichigo's revelation.
"Monsters will not attack the mortals who aren't associated with the demigods," Ichigo said.
"So, brother, where are you staying?" Gyges asked.
"I am working with the Cyclopes in Poseidon's underwater forges," Briares said.
"I guess we're joining you brother," Cottus said. Gyges nodded his head. Briares turned to Poseidon.
"I give you my approval," Poseidon said. The three Hekatonkheire cheered. Suddenly there was a loud boom. They turned to see Zeus and Ares just arrived. Zeus was the one who caused the loud boom.
"Lord Zeus." The Hekatonkheire said with a bow.
"Poseidon will not have all three of the Hekatonkheires in his domain," Zeus said.
"Lord Zeus," Poseidon said, looking at his brother. "Are you planning to separate these brothers who just reunited."
"It will give you too much power," Zeus argued.
"Are you still thinking that I will take over your domain?" Poseidon accused. Zeus looked at Poseidon. Everyone could feel the tension forming.
"What will you do Zeus?" Ichigo asked waking in front of the Hekatonkheires. "If the Hekatonkheires refuse to listen to you." Zeus glared at Ichigo.
"They will obey me willingly," Zeus said as he held his Master Bolt tightly, "or by force."
"Briares, Cottus, and Gyges are under my protection," Ichigo said. He glared back at Zeus. "If you attack them then I will reply with force."
"You dare tell me what to do!?" Zeus yelled. His voice echoed.
"I do," Ichigo replied. Zeus pointed his Master Bolt at Ichigo. It began to glow with yellow divine energy. Ichigo wasn't intimidated by Zeus's action. Everyone stood there, nervous to move. Nobody knew what to do.
"Brother, don't do it." Hades thought. He was one of the few gods who had a general idea of what Ichigo was capable of. Zeus threw his Master Bolt at Ichigo. Everyone was blinded by the light. Zeus arrogantly smirked. The bright light died down. Everyone was shocked to see Ichigo holding the Master Bolt in his hand.
"Was that it?" Ichigo asked in a bored voice. Zeus opened his hand, trying to summon the Master Bolt. The Master Bolt glowed with yellow divine energy. To his shock, Ichigo pulled the Master Bolt away from him.
"You want this back?" Ichigo asked as he channeled his own reiatsu into the Master Bolt. The Master Bolt began to turn glow black. "Then take it!" Ichigo yelled as he threw the Master Bolt back at Zeus. The Master Bolt slammed into Zeus's chest; causing a massive explosion and forcing him back a few feet. "You dare attack those who are under my protection," Ichigo said as he summoned Rebellion.
"You will pay!" Zeus yelled as he began to throw lightning bolts at Ichigo. Ichigo used Rebellion to block the attacks, absorbing the energy from the attacks. Ichigo turned to the other Olympians.
"Get a barrier up!" Ichigo yelled. Poseidon and Hades nodded their heads as they formed a barrier around them.
"You think your sword can handle this!" Zeus yelled as the Master Bolt glowed white, releasing a large amount of divine energy. He threw it at Ichigo. Ichigo stood his ground as he blocked the attack with Rebellion. Upon impact, there was a massive explosion of white light. The light died down. Everyone was shocked to see the entire area was scorched black, except for Ichigo and the bit of ground behind him.
"This sword was forged to withstand the full power of the Power of Destruction when he is in his He Who Destroys All state." Ichigo cryptically said. Zeus's and Hades's eyes widen in disbelief.
"You- you,"
"Yes, I am aware of him and much…much more," Ichigo revealed. He pointed Rebellion at the sky. "Release!" Ichigo yelled. The skull on Rebellion began to glow as black fire began to surround the blade. Hades gasped. Everyone looked at Hades.
"Zeus is done for," Hades said.
"Feel my wrath ZEUS!" Ichigo yelled as he swung his sword down. A wave of black flames shot out towards Zeus. Zeus jumped to the side; dodging the black flames. The black flames hit the barrier. To the Olympian's shock, the fire began to destroy the barrier. Ichigo snapped his fingers. The black fire stopped destroying the barrier. It turned around and began to chase Zeus. Zeus tried to dodge the black flames. To his shock, the black flames followed him. No matter where he went the black flames never stopped. Suddenly, Ichigo appeared in front of Zeus. Rebellion was pointed at his neck.
"Do you admit defeat?" Zeus glared at Ichigo. Everyone stood there, waiting for Zeus's answer.
"I admit defeat." Zeus finally said.
"Good," Ichigo said. Ichigo sent Rebellion back to his mindscape. The other Olympians lowered the divine barrier. "In Percy's request, he asked that those Titans who didn't join the Titans during this conflict to be freed from their punishment. When do you intend to free them?" Ichigo casually asked. "After all, Percy made you swear to the River Styx to free them." Zeus didn't reply. Ichigo turned to Apollo. "Apollo, as the God of Truth, you can tell if someone is lying, right?"
"I can," Apollo said. He appeared beside Ichigo. Ichigo turned to Zeus.
"Zeus, did you have any intentions of freeing those Titans?"
"I do," Zeus answered.
"He's lying," Apollo said. Zeus glared at Apollo for his betrayal. Ichigo turned to Zeus.
"There is no point in forcing you to swear to the River Styx since you don't fear the repercussions." Ichigo summoned a piece of parchment and began to write on it. After a few moments, Ichigo stopped writing.
"I, Zeus, The King of Olympus, God of Sky, Thunder, Lightning, Kingship, Honor, and Justice, swear on my divinity and authority to uphold these tasks. First, is to honor Percy Jackson's request. All Titans who were punished for allying with the Titans during the First Titanomachy and didn't join the Titans again during the Second Titanomachy will be freed from their punishment. All gods and goddesses will have a cabin in Camp Half-Blood; even those who don't have children will have one in their honor. All demigods will be claimed and escorted to Camp Half-Blood by the age of thirteen. Second is the Hekatonkheire known as Cottus, Gyges, and Briares will be free to live and do whatever they wish; unless working in someone's domain. The third and final task is to be a loyal husband to Hera, a loving father to his children and, an honorable King of Olympus." Ichigo read. He passed the contract and a blood quill to Zeus.
"This is a blood quill. It is enchanted to write with your blood." Ichigo explained. Zeus glared at Ichigo. Ichigo looked to see Hera smiling. Zeus grumbled as he picked up the blood quill and signed the contract. He flinched as his signature appeared on his right hand. The contract glowed golden; signifying the signing of the contract. The contract split into two; one of Zeus and the other for Ichigo. He picked them up and walked to the Hekatonkheires.
"All three of you don't need to worry about Zeus forcing you three to separate," Ichigo said.
"Thank you, Ichigo," Briares said.
"How can we ever pay you back for what you did for us?' Gyges said.
"Γ: What about forging a weapon for him? : Γ" Cottus suggested. Everyone couldn't understand what Cottus was saying.
"Γ: Does he have divine energy? : Γ" Gyges asked.
"Γ: He does. He received a blessing from many of the Olympians. : Γ" Briares said.
"Γ: It also helps that I understand you. : Γ" Ichigo casually said. The Hekatonkheires all turned down and stared at Ichigo.
"Γ: You can speak the Tongue of the Old Times: Γ?" Briares asked.
"Γ: I learned how to speak it from killing Kampê. : Γ" Ichigo said.
"Γ: Anyways, we agree to forge Ichigo a few weapons for each of his divine abilities? : Γ" Cottus asked.
"Γ: Agreed. : Γ" Cottus and Briares said. Briares turned to Poseidon.
"Lord Poseidon, my brothers and I will be returning to the forge with Ichigo." He said.
"Very well," Poseidon said; already assuming what the Hekatonkheires were planning to do. Poseidon wasn't the only one who figured it out.
"You have my permission to venture into the Underworld to gather any needed material," Hades added.
"Thank you, Lord Hades," Briares said. The Hekatonkheires and Ichigo walked into the water, teleporting to the Underwater Forges.
Scene Change: Underwater Forges
Ichigo, Briares, Cottus, and Gyges stepped into the Underwater Forges. They could see the various cyclopes were there. Some were making weapons. Others were partying.
"I-I-impossible." One of the cyclopes said. The other turned to see all three Hekatonkheires were standing there.
"We're not worthy!" They all shouted and bowed to them. Cottus and Gyges were shocked to see all the devotion and worship from the cyclopes. Briares turned to his brothers.
"These cyclopes are devoted to us. In their eyes, we're are slightly lower than the Olympians. They are eager to learn the ancient forging techniques that were lost to them."
"I see…" Cottus and Gyges said.
"Ichigo, follow me," Briares said. Ichigo was taken to a large empty room. The room was simple with a bed big enough for Briares to sleep on. "This is my bedroom, the most private place in the forge," Briares said as he sat down. Cottus and Gyges sat beside his brother. Ichigo sat in front of them.
"As you may have heard, we decided to forge you your weapon of power," Cottus said.
"Similar to Zeus's Master Bolt, Poseidon's Trident, and Hades's Helm of Darkness," Gyges said.
"So where do we start?" Ichigo asked.
"I'm aware you have a few different divine authorities in you," Briares said. "We need you to bring forth that energy. We take a piece of that energy and use that energy to forge a weapon suitable for that weapon."
"In the end, when we present you with the weapon, you must name that weapon and allow your divine energy to flow into that weapon," Cottus said.
"Ok," Ichigo said. "How are we starting this?" Ichigo asked.
"Just gather a ball of the individual divine energy," Gyges said. Ichigo activated Schrift F: Fengári Neró. A ball of water appeared in Ichigo's hands. It contained a mix of water reiatsu and divine energy. He handed it to Gyges. He carefully took the orb. "It reminds me of Poseidon," Ichigo repeated the process with Schrift E: The Earth, Schrift K: The Kataigída, Schrift U: The Umbra, and Schrift V: The Ventus. Ichigo activated Schrift W: The War Lord. Ichigo began to gather his energy for Gyges when suddenly a sword appeared out of thin air.
"Wha?" The Hekatonkheires were startled but the sudden appearance of the blade. Ichigo recognized what this blade was.
"Excalibur," Ichigo said. The sword floated down to Ichigo who grabbed the sword. Divine energy flowed from Ichigo to the sword.
"May your light shine down upon the battlefield and bring me victory, Excalibur!" Ichigo said. Excalibur glowed. Ichigo could feel Schrift W: The War Lord merging with Excalibur. After a few moments, Ichigo deactivated Schrift W: The War Lord. Ichigo could still feel the power flowing from Excalibur. Ichigo sent Excalibur into his mindscape. Ichigo turned to the Hekatonkheires.
"Is that what is supposed to happen?" Ichigo asked. They nodded their heads.
"That is exactly what is supposed to happen when we present you with the weapon," Briares said. "Though I'm not sure what that sword was."
"Don't worry about it," Ichigo said as he showed them the last schrift, Schrift Y: Yokubō no Uta. Gyges collected the last ball of energy from Ichigo.
"Um… for that-" Gyges cut him off.
"Allow the energy to speak for you," Gyges said.
"These weapons will be interesting," Briares said. "We'll let you know when they're ready." Cottus escorted Ichigo back to the entrance of the Forge.
"Sorry for my brothers. He can't control himself sometimes." Cottus apologized.
"No problem," Ichigo said. He opened a Garganta and jumped in.
Scene Change: Hotel Room
Ichigo walked out of the Garganta to see Gilgamesh and Akasha were awake. Gilgamesh was watching TV while Akasha was using his laptop.
"So, you're back from Tartarus," Gilgamesh said.
"Yeah," Ichigo said as he gave each of them their own hug. Ichigo noticed Akasha had a map beside her. "What are you doing?"
"I was looking up some interesting places to explore in the United States since you still have to travel to Endsville, Arizona, and later Los Angeles, California."
"And I told her it would be pointless since we could use the Virama to fly there," Gilgamesh argued back. Ichigo sat down in the chair.
"Hm…" Ichigo though. "While Gilgamesh brings up a good point in using the Virama." Ichigo started. Gilgamesh smirked at Akasha. "But Akasha also brings up a good point. I don't know when I'll ever return to the United States so I should make this time worth it."
"So, you're saying…" Akasha started. Ichigo turned to Akasha.
"Yes, we're going with your idea," Ichigo said.
"Great! Here are some of the places I thought about." Akasha said as she began to share with Ichigo her ideas." Gilgamesh sighed as she walked over to Ichigo and Akasha. Ichigo, Akasha, and Gilgamesh spent a few hours on the internet. They planned a road trip from New York City to Los Angeles. They looked up interesting places or events that the peerage might find interesting.
"So, what do you two want in the end?" Akasha and Gilgamesh gave Ichigo a predatorial smile.
"When you return from Japan, you'll spend a few days alone with each of us," Gilgamesh said.
"Don't worry about planning it, we'll plan our own dates. You just have to tag along." Akasha said.
"Very well," Ichigo said.
"Great!" Akasha said as she stood up. "Let's go get something to eat."
"Finally," Gilgamesh said. With that, the three left their hotel room to find dinner.
Scene Change: Olympus
Zeus and all the other Olympians, including Hades and Hestia, were having a private meeting. Zeus turned to Poseidon and Hades.
"Why did you allow the Hekatonkheires to forge weapons for him?" Zeus questioned. Everyone knew who 'him' was referring to.
"I allowed it because it was the right thing to do," Poseidon answered.
"Easy for you to say," Zeus growled. "I should have placed those forges near my domain," Zeus grumbled.
"The forges need to be near a large body of water during the heat treat," Hephaestus said. Zeus ignored Hephaestus as he turned to Hades.
"What about you Hades? Why did you open up the Underworld for the Hekatonkheires?"
"Because Zeus, it would be good to help grow our international relations," Hades replied.
"What do you mean?" Athena asked. Hades and Zeus turned to Athena.
"Do you want to explain it to her or shall I?" Hades asked. Zeus growled. "Allow me to explain," Hades said as he revealed the existence of the other pantheons to his fellow Olympians.
"So how come we haven't allied ourselves with these other pantheons?" Athena asked. Hades turned to Zeus.
"Lord Zeus, explain to your daughter how come we haven't allied with the other pantheons," Hades said in a snarky tone. Zeus glared at his older brother. Athena turned to Zeus.
"How come Lord Zeus?" Athena asked. Zeus let out a deep sighed.
"Because we are not as strong compared to the other Pantheons," Zeus admitted.
"How? We have our Divine Concept, our connection to our followers, and our connection to our children." Athena said.
"True but you overestimate how much power we gain from them," Zeus said. "As all of you may be aware, ever since the end of the Age of Gods, most of us gained less power from our Divine Concept; except for a few Concepts." Athena nodded her head. "As for our followers… we've lost the majority of them in Europe due to the Biblical Fraction. Either killed by the crusades, Angels, Fallen Angels, or the Devils."
"I see…" Athena said, slightly embarrassed by the lack of awareness of the global situation.
"And finally…our children." Zeus said. "We force them to imitate our fallen followers and to reenact the stories of legend… but to what end."
"Indeed. According to Luke, reenacting one of Hercules's 11 Labors was the thing that broke the 'camel's back'." Hermes said.
"Because of this if we ally with the other pantheons, I fear they may take advantage of our weakness."
"I agreed with Zeus until today," Hades said.
"How are you aware of the other pantheons?" Athena asked.
"Souls belong to the religion that they worship. Many Americans believe in Biblical God so they would have to go to them. But since they don't have a foothold here, I have to deal with them." Hades explained.
"But what do you mean until today?" Athena asked.
"Ichigo Kurosaki is affiliated with both the Shinto Pantheon and the Biblical Fraction," Hades said.
"How could you tell?" Athena asked, hungry for new knowledge.
"During the battles, the black robes he wore are the uniform of a Soul Reaper of the Shinto Pantheon." Athena and a few other Olympians nodded their heads. "As for the Biblical Fraction was due to the sword and fire, he used against Lord Zeus," Hades said.
"What's special about the sword and fire?" Apollo asked.
"I've never seen fire that destructive or sentient," Hephaestus commented.
"It is Hellfire, one of the most dangerous fires that exist," Hades said. "Greek fire is nothing compared to Hellfire. As for the sword… anyone remembered the name of the blade?"
"Rebellion, the Sword of Wrath," Artemis said.
"That-that makes too much sense," Ares said. Everyone turned to Ares. "You know when I fight, I can easily make people extremely angry." They nodded their heads. "He wasn't affected by that ability of mine. In turn, he was able to make me even angrier than before." Hades nodded his head.
"Either he is allied with someone who can control Wrath," Zeus said.
"Not just control Wrath…" Ares said. "This person rules Wrath controls the Sin of Wrath."
"So, you're saying that we should ask Ichigo to help us ally with the Shinto Pantheon and Biblical Fractions," Hermes asked.
"Indeed," Hades said. He turned to Lord Zeus. "With all this new information in mind, do you wish to pursue an alliance with them?" Zeus was thinking. Suddenly two of the three Fates appeared.
"Fates, where is your sister?" Zeus asked.
"She is currently…unavailable right now." They said. Suddenly the third one appeared.
"Clotho! Lachesis! The Darkness! Everywhere! Dam that Defiler of FATE!" She screamed. The Olympians turned to the remaining two Fates.
"Atropos, calm down." One of the fates said as she walked to the third sister. Atropos grabbed her sister and held her tightly.
"Sister!" She screamed in hysteria.
"What-what happened to her?" Zeus asked.
"It's due to that Defier of Fate. His action in the Battle of Manhattan, the Battle of Atlantis, and the battle with Typhon, drastically interfered with the future that Atropos foresaw." Clotho said.
"To the point where she is blinded for the time being," Lachesis said.
"LACHESIS! WHERE ARE YOU!" Atropos yelled in fear. Lachesis sighed as she walked over to her blind sister.
"I am here sister." She said. Atropos grabbed Lachesis and pulled her closer to her. She held Clotho and Lachesis tightly."
"Um…what can we do to help her?" Apollo asked.
"Stop interacting with the Defier of Fate," Lachesis said.
"The longer this pantheon interacts with the Defier of Fate, we can't do our job. This includes making prophecies." Clotho added. The Fates disappeared.
"So, what shall we do?" Zeus said.
"If we ally with the Shinto Pantheon and Biblical Fractions there is no doubt the Fates will continue to be blind," Athena said.
"But is that truly bad?" Ares said. Everyone turned to the God of War. "We've always allowed Fate to lead us down the path it wants us."
"Remember Thetis?" Poseidon said. "Prometheus told you that Thetis's son would be destined to be stronger than his father."
"Wait… Thetis's son was Achilles." Hera said.
"Not to mention the Great Prophecy being void now," Hades said.
"I think it's time for this matter to be down to a vote," Zeus said. "All of us will participate in this vote," Zeus paused as he looked at Hestia and Hades. "This vote will include both of you." They nodded their heads. "Who wishes to go first?"
"I'll go," Poseidon said. "I vote for the alliance."
"So will I," Hades said.
"Two for the alliance and zero against," Zeus said.
"For the alliance," Ares said. "It will allow us fewer enemies in the future."
"So will I," Hestia said. "Our lives have been controlled by Fate for too long."
"I'm all in for the alliance," Hermes said. "Fate decided my son was worth the sacrifice. Ichigo said otherwise."
"So will I," Hera said as she looked at Zeus. "I cared for a loyal husband and Ichigo granted me that." Zeus let out a nervous chuckle as he turned to the other gods.
"I need a way to hide from them." Apollo groaned.
"So…" Zeus said.
"I vote for the alliance." He answered.
"In a way, this action of trying to defy fate makes mortals interesting," Artemis said. The other Olympians looked at her. "All mortals, in one way or another, try to change their fate and destiny. We're doing this is the same thing." She looked at her father. "I also vote for the alliance."
"Athena? Dionysus? Hephaestus?"
"I think the Fates have ruled enough," Dionysus said. "They act as if they rule Olympus from the shadows," Dionysus said as he drank his Diet Coke. Zeus turned to the final two Olympians.
"I can't believe I'm saying this, but I agree with Dionysus," Athena said.
"I guess…" Hephaestus said.
"You're conflicted?" Zeus asked.
"I am," Hephaestus admitted. "We followed the Fates for so long and now we decided to leave them? They were born from Nyx and Erebus, two of the Protogenos. They may have powers that we don't know about." Zeus nodded his head.
"I could see your point," Zeus admitted. "We'll deal with it when it comes to that."
"Very well," Hephaestus said. Zeus nodded his head.
"It has been decided. We will ask Ichigo to help us establish an alliance with the Shinto Pantheon and the Biblical Fractions." Zeus said.
Scene Change: Morning
Ichigo opened his eyes to see he was sandwiched between Akasha and Gilgamesh. Both were still sound asleep. From the wards, Ichigo could feel someone crossed them, with intentions to see him.
"It's Hermes," Mysteria reported. "Should I tell him to go away?"
"No," Ichigo said as he ejected his soul out of his body. Ichigo walked over to the door and opened it. Hermes's right hand was up, ready to knock on the door.
"Hello, Ichigo." Hermes greeted.
"Hello, Hermes. What can I do for you?" Ichigo asked.
"The Olympians wishes to meet with a representative of the Shinto Pantheon and the Biblical Fractions."
"For what purpose?" Ichigo asked.
"We, the Olympians, wish to ally with them."
"Sure. I'll let them know." Ichigo said. "Are you willing to ally with the Norse Patheon?" Hermes looked around as if trying to see if anyone was listening in.
"You're aware of them?" Hermes asked.
"I am. They're also allied with the Shinto Pantheon and the Biblical Fractions."
"I see… we have an informal pact of nonaggression with them." Hermes said.
"Oh? How did that come around."
"The Norse Pantheon has a foothold in America," Hermes said. We agreed with each other not to mess with each other's business as long as it stays in their respective territory."
"Where's this foothold?"
"It's in Minnesota," Hermes said.
"Ok. I'll see you in an hour with more information." Ichigo said.
"Great. Just tell the security guard near the elevator your name. He will give you a magical key that allows you to use the elevator to get to Olympus." Hermes said as he left. Ichigo turned around to see the ladies were having a tug-a-war with his soulless body. Ichigo chuckled.
"Ladies, can I have my body back?" Ichigo asked. Akasha and Gilgamesh hesitantly let go of Ichigo's body. Ichigo merged back with his body.
"Yasaka?"
"Good evening Ichigo. What can I do for you?"
"Do you want an alliance with the Olympians?" Ichigo heard silence from Yasaka.
"This is barely the second day you're in America. How did you manage to get them to be willing to ally with us?"
"Hm…Showed them who's boss?"
"Only you would be able to do that."
"So, do you want to talk with them." Suddenly Ichigo could feel Yasaka giving him a sinister smile.
"I do want the alliance…but I'm not able to go to America to see them. You see I'm currently on vacation." Yasaka started. "As the King of Souls, you are capable of making this deal for me." Ichigo was astonished by Yasaka's reply.
"I see…" Ichigo said. Suddenly he had an evil idea. "It would be a shame if Kunou is sad right now," Ichigo said before cutting the connection. He pulled out his phone and called Moka.
"Yes, Ichigo?" Moka asked.
"Is Kunou there right now?"
"She's playing with Elizabeth right now," Moka replied.
"I see…is Yasaka with them?"
"Not right now."
"Bring the phone to them and turn the speakerphone on," Ichigo said. Moka walked into the room. Elizabeth and Kunou were playing with Elizabeth's stuffed animals.
"Kaa-san." Elizabeth waved to her mother.
"Hello, girls. Your father is on the phone." Moka said as she turned the speakerphone on and placed it on the table.
"Hello, Tou-san!" Elizabeth said.
"Hello, Papa!" Kunou said.
"Hello, girls," Ichigo said. "Do you two want to come to America with me for the weekend?"
"YES! YES!" The girls shouted.
"Go ask your mother," Ichigo said. Elizabeth turned to her mother.
"Can I go Kaa-san?" Elizabeth asked.
"I got something planned for us and the kids for the weekend." Ichigo mentally said.
"Fine," Moka said.
"Yay!"
"Um… Where is Kaa-san?" Kunou asked.
"She might be in her bedroom." Kunou took the phone and ran to her mom's room.
"Kaa-san?" Kunou said as she knocked on the door. Yasaka opened the door.
"Need something Kunou?"
"Can I go to America with Papa?" Kunou asked.
"Huh?" Yasaka said.
"Don't tell me…" Yasaka understood Ichigo's final message.
"Papa called us and asked if we want to go to America. Elizabeth and her Kaa-san are going."
"That devil!" Yasaka mentally thought.
"I take that as a compliment," Ichigo commented.
"I'm not sure…" Yasaka started. Kunou began to pout. Her fox ears drooped down.
"Come on Kaa-san. Tamamo-obasan is taking over your responsibilities at Kyoto and we've never been outside of Japan before."
"DAM YOU ICHIGO!" Yasaka mentally screamed in anger. Yasaka let out a long sighed.
"Fine. We'll join your father in America." Yasaka answered.
"YAY!" Kunou shouted in joy as she hugged her mother. Kunou looked at the phone.
"Papa! Did you hear? Did you hear?" Kunou asked.
"I heard. I heard." Ichigo replied.
"I'll be there in about thirty minutes to pick all four of you up at the Estate," Ichigo replied.
"Ok," Kunou said as Ichigo ended the call.
" I will get you back for this." Yasaka mentally said.
Scene Change: New York City
Ichigo chuckled as he hung up the phone.
"I still can't believe you used Kunou to force Yasaka to come here," Akasha commented. Ichigo shrugged his shoulders.
"I didn't expect Yasaka to blatantly refuse like that," Ichigo admitted. Ichigo dialed Sirzechs number. Ichigo waited a minute before Sirzechs picked up the phone.
"This better be important Ichigo or I am going to America to kick you your ass," Sirzechs said.
"That's good. I need you in America in a bit." Ichigo said.
"Why?" Sirzechs asked.
"Do you want to ally with the Olympians?" Ichigo said. Ichigo heard silence from Sirzechs.
"You were in America for less than two days and you managed to do something that Serafall and I spent a few centuries trying to do." Sirzechs finally said.
"Yep," Ichigo said.
"Your unbelievable," Sirzechs said. "So, you want me to negotiate with them."
"Yep, in less than an hour."
"I still want to kick your ass," Sirzechs grumbled.
"No balls. Grayfia wouldn't allow you." Ichigo said.
"He's right," Grayfia said in the background. The line disconnected. Ichigo chuckled as he put the phone away.
"Yuzu, Karin, Kaa-san," Ichigo called through the peerage connection.
"Yes, Ichigo?" Masaki asked.
"Evening, Ichi-nii." Yuzu and Karin replied.
"Yuzu, Karin, do you want to come with me to America, for the weekend?"
"Can we Kaa-san?" Yuzu and Karin asked. Masaki was silent for a few moments.
"Fine. Just for the weekend you still have school next week." Masaki said.
"Yay!" They shouted in joy.
"I'll see you two in less than half an hour at the Estate," Ichigo said and ended the call. Ichigo turned to Gilgamesh.
"Gilgamesh, do you have anything in your Gate of Babylon that could help with time zone changes?"
"Hm…" Gilgamesh raised her hand. A golden portal appeared as a goblet floated out of the Gate of Babylon.
"Is that wine?" Ichigo asked.
"It is. Do you want some?" Gilgamesh said. "It's a unique wine made from fruit that helps people go to sleep."
"No thank you. Do you have something for the kids? Maybe a sleeping pill?" Ichigo said. Gilgamesh nodded her head. The golden portal appeared again as a small potion floated out the Gate of Babylon.
"It's a weaker sleeping potion. Add two drops in a cup of water and they should fall asleep immediately and wake up in an hour or two." She said.
"Thank you," Ichigo said as he took the potion from her.
"It's almost time to pick them up," Akasha said.
"Thank you," Ichigo said. Ichigo opened a Garganta. Akasha and Gilgamesh entered their spirit form. They all entered the Garganta.
Scene Change: Ichigo's Estate
Ichigo, Akasha, and Gilgamesh appeared in his bedroom at the Estate.
"Thank you, ladies." Ichigo thanked as he gave them both a hug.
"No problem Ichigo," Akasha said. She didn't let go of him. Ichigo could hear her licking her lips. Ichigo knew what Akasha was about to ask for. Ichigo tilted his head to the side. "Yay." She said before she bit on Ichigo's neck. She began to suck Ichigo's blood. She let out a moan as she drank. After a few long seconds, she stopped sucking his blood. She licked the bite marks. The wound instantly closed up. She let go of Ichigo.
"Thank you, Ichigo," Akasha said as she kissed him on the lips.
"No problem Akasha." Gilgamesh's eye twitched in annoyance. She walked over and pulled Ichigo away from her. She gave Ichigo a long kiss on the lips. She soon let go of him.
"Remember the deal," Gilgamesh said as she walked away, making sure to sway her hips. Ichigo glanced at Akasha who wasn't annoyed by Gilgamesh's action.
"She was jealous of me," Akasha said with a shrug. "She reminds me of Artoria, based on your memories of her."
"Kind of," Ichigo said.
"See you later," Akasha said as she walked to her room. Ichigo walked downstairs and saw some of the maids cleaning around the house.
"Good evening, Ichigo-sama." They greeted with a bow.
"Good evening," Ichigo said. He paused and looked around the room. "Good job ladies. Keep up the good work."
"Thank you Ichigo-sama!" They said as they resumed cleaning, much more motivated than before. Ichigo resumed walking. They soon arrived in the courtyard. Ichigo pulled out the trainer and released Damasen.
"Who's your friend?" Akasha asked.
"This is Damasen, a friend of mine from Tartarus," Ichigo said. He looked up at the night sky. He could see the stars. Tears began to fill his eyes. He turned to Ichigo and hugged him.
"Thank you! Thank you!" He yelled.
"Damasen, please let me go," Ichigo asked.
"Oh…sorry," Damasen said as he let Ichigo go. Ichigo he clapped his hands. Sakuya appeared beside him.
"Yes, Ichigo-sama?" She asked.
"Who is in charge of the farming right now?"
"That would be Yuri," Sakuya said.
"Please get her." Ichigo requested.
"Very well," Sakuya said as she disappeared. A few seconds later, Sakuya and Yuri appeared.
"You've asked for me Ichigo-sama?" Yuri asked.
"Indeed," Ichigo said. "This is Damasen. He will be living on the estate now. He used to be a farmer. See if you could use him to help with the farming."
"Very well," Yuri said. She turned to Damasen. "Follow me." She said. Damasen nodded his head.
"Thank you again Ichigo," Damasen said as he followed behind Yuri. Soon Moka, Elizabeth, Yasaka, Kunou, Yuzu, and Karin arrived, all with a small bag. Everyone was casually dressed.
"Hello Ichigo, Papa, Tou-san, Ichi-nii." They all said.
"Hello everyone," Ichigo replied. He snapped his finger, summoning his car. Kunou and Elizabeth let out a yawn.
"Oh no. It's their bedtime." Yasaka said.
"Don't worry. I got something for that." Ichigo said as he clapped his hands. Sakuya appeared beside him.
"Yes, Ichigo-sama." She said.
"Can you get me four cups of water and a spoon?" He asked. Sakuya vanished. She soon returned with four cups of water on a tray. Beside each cup were a spoon and a napkin
"Here you go Ichigo-sama." She said.
"Thank you, Sakuya," Ichigo said. He pulled out the potion. "This potion is a sleeping potion. This potion will put you asleep for an hour. This will force your body to adjust to the time in America, since its early morning there." Ichigo explained.
"Allow me to mix the potion," Sakuya said. Ichigo handed her the potion.
"Just one drop." He said. Sakuya nodded her head as she dropped a drop of potion in each of the cups. She stirred each cup of water. She handed the water to Kunou, Elizabeth, Yuzu, and Karin.
"Thank you, Sakuya-san." They said as they drink the entire cup of water.
"It should take a few minutes to take effect," Ichigo said. Everyone entered the car. Moka sat in front with Ichigo while Yasaka sat in the back with the other kids. Ichigo started the car and drove into the Garganta.
Scene Change: New York City
Ichigo drove out of the Garganta into an empty alleyway. Yuzu, Karin, Elizabeth, and Kunou were all sound asleep. Ichigo drove the car towards the hotel. He parked the car in the hotel's parking garage. Ichigo made Yuzu and Karin invisible. He gently lifted them up. Moka and Yasaka gently lifted their own daughters. Ichigo wrapped an illusion around them; making it appear they weren't carrying anything. They walked out of the car and entered the elevator. They soon arrived in their room. They placed the sleeping children on the large bed. Elizabeth and Kunou were on the inside. While Yuzu and Karin were behind them.
"Moka, can you watch them for an hour?" Ichigo asked.
"How come?" She asked.
"This bastard used our daughter to force me to come here for a meeting," Yasaka said.
"In my defense, I planned to have you and the kids here beforehand, but the meeting forced my hand," Ichigo said.
"He's not lying." Akasha chimed in.
"Fine but, I need an energy boost," Moka said as she walked over to Ichigo. Ichigo leaned his head to the side, exposing his neck. Moka licked the spot for a few seconds before biting down on his neck. Moka let out a moan as Ichigo's blood dripped out of his neck to her mouth. After a few moments, Moka let go of his neck. She licked the wound close. Ichigo turned his head upright. Suddenly Moka kissed him on the lips. Ichigo could see Yasaka was getting annoyed. Moka stopped kissing him.
"See you later." She said. Ichigo chuckled.
"Come on Yasaka, we got Gods and Demons waiting for us," Ichigo said. Yasaka rolled her eyes as followed behind him. It took a few minutes before they arrived at his car; which was still parked in the parking garage. They both got in the car and drove off; towards the Empire State Building. They were forced to take a few detours, due to the construction efforts to repair the broken pipeline. The car was completely silent; neither Ichigo nor Yasaka were talking.
"Why are you angry with me," Ichigo said, breaking the silence.
"I'm still annoyed that you'd dragged me to this meeting," Yasaka said. Ichigo sighed. They soon arrived at the Empire State Building. Ichigo drove his car into the nearby parking garage and parked his car. Ichigo and Yasaka walked out of the car and walked inside the Empire State Building. Ichigo noticed that most of the destruction from the Battle of Manhattan has been fixed. Ichigo walked into the lobby and noticed Sirzechs and Grayfia were already there. Sirzechs was dressed in a two-piece black suit with a white dress shirt. Ichigo noticed Sirzechs had a black tie with the Gremory rose embroidered on it. Grayfia was also dressed in a business suit.
"Ah Ichigo." Sirzechs said in English.
"Hello, Master Ichigo." Grayfia greeted.
Sirzechs turned to Yasaka. "Lady Yasaka." He greeted.
"Hello, Lady Yasaka." Grayfia greeted.
"Hey Sirzechs, Grayfia." Ichigo casually said.
"Hello Mister Sirzechs and Miss Grayfia," Yasaka replied.
"So how do we get to the Olympians?" Sirzechs asked.
"Allow me." Ichigo walked to the security guard near the elevator. He was reading a newspaper. "Excuse me." The security guard closed his newspaper. He looked at Ichigo and gave him an intimidating look.
"What can I do for you kid?" He grumbled.
"I have a meeting on the 600th floor," Ichigo said.
"Kid, there is no such thing as a 600th floor." He grumbled.
"Names Ichigo Kurosaki." He said. The security guard handed Ichigo a key. Ichigo took it from the security guard. With his job done, he resumed reading the newspaper. Ichigo and his group walked into an elevator. Ichigo could see a keyhole on the elevator. It has Off on the left side of the keyhole and On on the top of the keyhole. Ichigo inserted the key into the keyhole. Ichigo noticed another option appear on the keyhole. It was the Omega symbol. Ichigo turned to the Omega symbol.
"Going up." The elevator said as the elevator began to move up. Sirzechs, Grayfia, and Yasaka snapped their fingers. Sirzechs was dressed in his formal armor. Grayfia was dressed in her signature maid outfit. Yasaka was dressed in her Miko outfit. Ichigo shifted into his Shinigami robe with his white haori on. The elevator stopped and the doors opened. They stepped out of the elevator. Ichigo could see most of the destruction from Kronos has been cleaned up. Ichigo led them towards the Temple, where the Olympians thrones are located at. All four of them are used to seeing people pausing and staring at them. They soon arrived at the Temple. The doors opened up, allowing them entrance. They walked into the temple to see all the other Olympians sitting in their respective throne.
"Hello, Ichigo. Who are your guests?" He asked. Ichigo turned to Sirzechs and Grayfia.
"This is Sirzechs Lucifer one of the four leaders of the Devils and representative of the Biblical Fraction. With him is his wife, Grayfia Lucifuge." Ichigo turned to Yasaka. "This is Yasaka. She is the leader of the Yōkai Faction and the personal avatar to Amaterasu." Ichigo said.
"I see… greetings." Zeus said. He snapped his fingers as four chairs appeared behind them. They all sat down on the summoned chairs.
"Due to us having two aspects, one for Greek and Roman, we are going to use a unique contraption to allow for both aspects to be present for the meeting," Hades explained. He turned to the guests. "Is this fine with you four?"
"It's fine," Ichigo answered. Greek symbols began to glow above them.
Scene Change: Void
Ichigo, Sirzechs, and Grayfia appeared in a similar-looking room as before. However, more people were sitting beside them. All the Olympians sat in a semicircle. Each god began to introduce themselves. They were situated in a way that both Greek and Roman aspects were in the same position; just mirrored. Everyone noticed that Athena's Roman counterpart wasn't there. That wasn't the only difference. Sitting next to Yasaka was Amaterasu.
"Hello, Amaterasu-sama." Ichigo greeted.
"Amaterasu-sama, its an honor to be blessed by your presence," Yasaka said.
"Hello Ichigo-kun, Yasaka-chan." She said. "Sirzechs-sama and Grayfia-sama, finally good to meet you."
"Same to you as well Amaterasu-sama," Sirzechs replied. Grayfia bowed her head to the Shinto Goddess.
"Ichigo said that you wish for an alliance with us," Amaterasu said as she looked to the Olympians.
"Indeed," Zeus answered.
"Why now?" Amaterasu asked.
"Indeed," Sirzechs said. "We've been trying to establish this alliance for a few centuries now. You would never reply to our attempts. This time you were the one who reached out to us. What made you change?" Zeus chuckled.
"Ichigo," Zeus said. "He came here and defied everything."
"Things we were never able to kill finally died," Jupiter said.
"Kronos and the other Titans were protected by the Fates," Poseidon said.
"Nothing we could do would kill them," Neptune said.
"Until Ichigo came and," Ares said.
"Finally killed them all," Mars said.
"He showed us that we were bounded by the Fates," Artemis said.
"Until now," Diana said.
"He freed us from them and if we wish to peruse this alliance," Apollo said.
"We will be freed from them," Hera said.
"Whether it's a good or bad thing," Juno said.
"We wish for this alliance to help us if anything bad comes to bit us," Zeus said. Sirzechs, Grayfia, Amaterasu, and Ichigo nodded their heads.
"Your logic makes sense," Sirzechs said.
"Ichigo does have a habit of inspiring rebellion." Amaterasu joked.
"With that said, are you sure about this?" Ichigo asked.
"We do." All the Olympians, both Greek, and Roman, said together.
"Very well," Ichigo said as he stood up. Sirzechs and Amaterasu stood up as well. "I would like to be the first to welcome you to our alliance," Ichigo said as he extended his hands out, one to Zeus and the other to Jupiter. Zeus and Jupiter shook Ichigo's hands. Ichigo moved aside for Sirzechs and Amaterasu to repeat Ichigo's action. Slowly everyone shook hands with each other. "The more political side of the alliance with be dealt with later, by those who specialize in those topics," Ichigo said in the end.
"So, who will be your political representatives?" Sirzechs asked. Zeus and Jupiter thought about the question hard.
"I believe Hades, Athena, and Hermes, would do well," Zeus suggested.
"Hm… For me, Pluto and Mercury would be fine but not Minerva." Jupiter said as he looked at the empty seat, likely for Minerva. "She bares great hatred for what the Romans did to her."
"So, who would you suggest instead?" Ichigo asked.
"Not at this time," Jupiter admitted.
"Its fine brother," Pluto said.
"Indeed, Lord Jupiter," Mercury said.
"Thou I do bear great hatred to the Romans; I will work with both of you fairly," Athena said.
"Thank you." Mercury and Pluto said.
"Lady Leviathan will reach out to all of you from our side," Sirzechs said.
"For us, it will be Yasaka-chan and Ichigo-kun." She said.
"Wa-" Ichigo's interruption was interrupted by Amaterasu stern look; a look that promised fiery punishment if he said anything. Ichigo sighed as he accepted his fate. With that, there was a large flash, and everyone was forced out of the void.
Scene Change: Olympus: Temple
Everyone opened their eyes. They were back in the temple. There were half as many Olympians as before. All of them were sitting on their thrones. Ichigo looked to see Yasaka was sitting with him again.
"Are all of you ok?" Ichigo asked.
"I am and so is Amaterasu-sama." Yasaka said.
"I'm good," Sirzechs said as he glanced at his wife. "Are you ok dear?"
"Yes, Sirzechs-sama." She replied.
"Our selected people shall meet at a later time to discuss these matters," Zeus said.
"We should celebrate this accomplishment," Dionysus suggested.
"Second!" Apollo said.
"Objection, for the time being," Zeus said. He turned to his children. "Until a formal agreement has been written and signed by us." Apollo and Dionysus nodded their heads, understanding his reasoning. With that, Ichigo and his group left. They walked to the elevator and entered it. As they were going down, everyone returned to their normal clothes.
"Thank you, Ichigo for your help," Sirzechs said. Grayfia nodded her head.
"Its nothing." Ichigo casually said.
"Ichigo, without your help, I doubt I would be able to get the Shinto Pantheon to agree to the alliance," Sirzechs said.
"Speaking of alliances," Ichigo started. "Have you heard anything about the Celtic Pantheon?"
"They're supposedly faded due to our actions," Sirzechs said.
"Hm… I believe a few of them remain. They mostly keep to themselves since there are so few of them left." Ichigo said as he told them about Ankou, Mórrígan, and Wing Bind. Sirzechs nodded his head.
"Your reasoning sounds right. Mórrígan might have not faded like the rest of the pantheon due to either the seal she placed on Ankou or her taking over Ankou's responsibilities." Sirzechs theorized. "I'll ask Ukitake-Taicho to send a message to them." They soon arrived at the bottom of the Empire State Building. Everyone left their separate ways. Ichigo and Yasaka walked back to their car. They entered his car.
"So what are you planning for all of us?" Yasaka asked as soon as they closed the door.
"First off a road trip to Massachusetts," Ichigo said.
"Why?" She asked.
"It's a surprise." He said.
"Tell me," Yasaka demanded. Ichigo smirked.
"Nope," Ichigo said as he drove back to the hotel. Yasaka spent the entire time bothering Ichigo, trying to get him to reveal the surprise. Ichigo resisted her attempts. They arrived at the hotel and walked up to their room. Ichigo opened the doors to see Moka sitting on the couch, watching TV.
"Hello Ichigo, Yasaka," Moka said.
"Hello, Moka." They said.
"How're the girls?" Yasaka asked.
"Still sleeping," Moka said.
"Good, lets order breakfast," Ichigo said as he grabbed the Room Service menu.
Scene Change: Bedroom
In the bedroom. Yuzu, Karin, Kunou, and Elizabeth laid there asleep. Ichigo walked into the room and gently woke everyone up. The sleeping potion would give them the benefits of sleeping for eight hours in an hour.
"Morning Papa," Kunou said.
"Morning Tou-san," Elizabeth said.
"Morning Ichi-nii." Yuzu and Karin said.
"Good morning all of you," Ichigo said. "Time for breakfast." All the girls walked to the nearby bathroom. A few minutes later, they walked out of the bedroom to see seven platers of food on the table. Everyone exchanged greeting before sitting down. They lifted the lids to see a large plate of food in front of them.
"What is this?" Kunou asked.
"This is sunny side eggs, American bacon, hash browns, and sausage," Ichigo explained.
"I see…" Kunou said.
"Itadakimasu." Everyone said as the began to eat breakfast.
"So what are we going to do now?" Kunou asked.
"We're going on a road trip to Massachusetts," Ichigo answered.
"Why?" Karin asked.
"Don't bother asking him." Yasaka pouted. "I spent an hour bugging him and he didn't budge at all." Ichigo nodded his head. Soon they finished eating their breakfast.
"So when are we leaving?" Yuzu asked.
"As soon as all of you are ready," Ichigo replied. Everyone spent twenty minutes getting ready. Kunou was in her true identity but had the ears, whiskers, and tails hidden under an illusion. Ichigo made sure Kunou, Yuzu, and Karin were under the effects of a bilingual translation charm. The charm helps them learn English by using it. Everyone walked out of the hotel room and entered Ichigo's car. The interior was modified to be similar to a limousine, chairs wrap around the edges. They were able to see the outside while making sure the car doesn't look out of the ordinary. Everyone entered the car. Ichigo drove out of the parking garage towards Massachusetts. Ichigo used the camouflage feature in the car to avoid detection while driving over a hundred miles an hour. Everyone in the back looked all through the windows.
On the way to Massachusetts, Ichigo would occasionally slow down and stop the car. These stops were either for a bathroom break, snack break, or sightseeing. Everyone enjoyed the unique and mundane journey, excluding how fast Ichigo was driving. It was in the early afternoon when they noticed Ichigo driving at normal speed.
"Why did you slow down?" Moka asked.
"We've near our destination," Ichigo said. Ichigo turned the car left. Everyone could see a sign.
"Welcome to Oakhaven, Massachusetts." It read. Moka's and Karin's eyes widen with realization.
"We're in Oakhaven, Massachusetts, the home of the Hex Girls!" Yuzu shouted.
"Not only that, every year, the Hex Girls performs," Karin shouted
"At the Oakhaven Autumn Fest!" Moka shouted.
"Indeed." All of them grabbed Ichigo and hugged him.
"Ladies, Ichigo is still driving," Yasaka said. The girls let go of Ichigo. Ichigo drove them towards an old looking mansion.
"Where are we?" Yuzu asked.
"We are at the Ravencroft Manor. Sarah Lestrange was a British witch who sailed to America to escape her family. To prevent others from finding her, she changed her last name from Lestrange to Ravencroft. Despite running away from them, Lord Lestrange at that time didn't disown her from the family. When I laid claim over all the possessions of the Lestrange, the Ravencroft estate was claimed as well." Ichigo explained as he stepped out of the car.
"Wait…why does Ravencroft sound familiar?" Yuzu asked.
"Because of the books I have written." Someone said. They turned to see a tall Caucasian male with a sturdy build. He had long black hair tied in a ponytail with a mustache and beard. He wore thin-framed glasses. His attire consisted of a reddish-brown blazer over a black sweatshirt, matching brown trousers, a black belt, and black shoes. Yuzu, Karin, and Moka gasped.
"Your Ben Ravencroft, the author of The Dead Mall, Skull Cap, The Caretaker's Coffin, and so many other horror stories." Yuzu said. Ben chuckled.
"Indeed I am," Ben said. "Allow me to show you your rooms for the night." He said. Everyone walked inside to see the traditional looking house.
"These are first edition versions of your books!" Moka said.
"Indeed," Ben said.
"How did you two meet?" Yasaka asked.
"It's our first-time meeting," Ben said.
"Oh?"
"Yes. I was looking over the Lestrange Portfolio when I discovered that they owned land in America. I soon discovered the Ravencroft Estate with Ben's number on it."
"It helps that I am a wizard," Ben said as transfigured a tape dispenser into a pumpkin and back to a tape dispenser. "I was aware that the Ravencroft originated from Britain."
"So when I called him and showed documentation that I technically owned the Ravencroft Estate, he allowed me to stay there for the Oakhaven Autumn Fest." Ichigo looked at Ben. "Though you should have told me you were also here."
"Sorry. Sorry." Ben said. "I was already here at the Manor when you called me. I didn't want to scare you off or make you feel bad if you knew I was already here." Ichigo turned to the girls.
"Anyways, let's get you situated in your rooms, and then we can explore the city," Ichigo said.
"I apologize but we have to break all of you up," Ben said. "The manor doesn't have super large rooms."
"How come you don't use magic to expand the rooms?"
"Because of the MACUSA's regulations," Ben said. "Due to the high concentration of nonmagical here, magic is not allowed to be performed unless in emergencies."
"I see…" Ichigo said. Moka and Elizabeth were placed in one room. Yasaka and Kunou were in another room. Yuzu and Karin were placed together. Ichigo had his own room. Once they got situated in their room, they began to explore Oakhaven.
They learned what Oakhaven was during the sixteenth century. Photos were quickly taken of everyone doing mundane tasks during colonial Oakhaven; such as churning butter, washing clothes, and making fresh bread. Slowly the afternoon turned to night. Everyone gathered around the Oakhaven Concert Hall. With Ben's help, Ichigo and his group were allowed up in the balcony, away from the general audience. Slowly the light died down. Smoke began to fill the stage as drums began to beat. The stage lights turned on and Ichigo could see three women on stage.
The first one stood dead center on stage. She's a slender beautiful young female, with long black hair with red highlights, pale skin, and green eyes. She was dressed in a black and red dress with red sleeves draping down her shoulders, the dress has both legs showing, and has a red sash around her waist. She has black ankle-strapped high heels with red tints, red and black fingerless gloves that end at the elbow, and a red bat necklace. She had a black and red guitar with her.
The second girl was on the drums. She's a young Caucasian female with a pale complexion, a beauty mark on her cheek and blonde hair that is styled in pigtails, tied with green bauble like hair ties. She wears a long-sleeved dark green top with a matching green skirt, that has a slit in it, and wears dark purple ankle boots. Her accessories are a black choker, with an "X" shaped necklace and green triangle earrings.
The final girl was playing the electric piano. She has red hair, black eyes, and a dark complexion, and wore a purple coat with a black shirt underneath, a long purple skirt with a slit at the hem, which shows part of her purple-black boots, gold hoop earrings, a gold necklace with a purple stone, and purple fingerless gloves.
"GOOD EVENING OAKHAVEN!" The first girl yelled. "I'm Thorn,"
"I'm Dusk," The second girl said.
"While I'm Luna," The third girl said.
"And we're the," They started.
"HEX GIRLS!" The audience yelled in unison.
"Let's start our annual concert with a classic," Thorn said.
Select Music: Hex Girls – Hex Girls
"I'm gonna cast a spell on you. You're gonna do what I want you to. Mix it up here in my little bowl, say a few words and you lose control." Thorn sang.
"I'm a Hex Girl and I'm gonna put a spell on you. I'm gonna put a spell on you. I'm a Hex Girl
and I'm gonna put a spell on you. Put a spell on you!" Thorn, Dusk, and Luna sang together.
"You'll feel the fog as I cloud your mind. You'll get dizzy when I make a sign. You'll wake up in the dead of night, missing me when I'm out of sight." Thorn sang.
"I'm a Hex Girl and I'm gonna put a spell on you. I'm gonna put a spell on you. I'm a Hex Girl and I'm gonna put a spell on you. Oh yeah!" Thorn, Dusk, and Luna sang together.
"With this little cobweb potion, you'll fall into dark devotion. If you ever lose affection, I can change your whole direction." Thorn sang.
"I'm a Hex Girl and I'm gonna put a spell on you. I'm gonna put a spell on you. I'm a Hex Girl and I'm gonna put a spell on you. We're gonna put a spell on all of you!" They sang. Red, green, and purple explosion littered the stage. The audience began to applaud. Ichigo glanced over to see the girls enjoying the show.
"I'm sorry to interrupt," Yhwach said.
"Yes, Yhwach?" Ichigo asked.
"I finished creating the schrift from Peres's divinity and authority."
"Will this take long?"
"No. It shouldn't take that long."Yhwach said. Ichigo sighed as he entered his mindscape.
Scene Change: Mindscape
Ichigo could see Yhwach standing there. He had a few schrifts with him.
"Sorry for pulling you out of your family bonding time." Yhwach apologized. Ichigo sighed.
"Its fine Yhwach. I understand you forced yourself to finish this as soon as possible for my sake." Ichigo said. Yhwach nodded his head.
"Anyways, let's talk about this schrift." Yhwach handed Ichigo the new schrift. "This is Schrift I: The Imitator," Yhwach said. "It can create a realistic imitation that will act and perform like the original. Its currently being used for Suzumebachi and Katen Kyōkotsu."
"Is there a time limit when the imitation ends?" Ichigo asked.
"It depends on the object," Yhwach said. "Currently the imitation of Suzumebachi and Katen Kyōkotsu are receiving reiatsu from Suì-Fēng and Kyōraku; which allowed them to continue to exist."
"I see…" Ichigo said.
"I also merged Hermes's Thieves authority with the schrift, to allow you to steal an object and replace it without anyone noticing the subtle change," Yhwach added.
"I, Kurosaki Ichigo, bestow upon myself this schrift," Ichigo pushed the schrift inside him. Ichigo could see Ichigo noticed the indicator for Schrift E: The Eliminator and Schrift L: The Law shot out of their compartment and entered a new compartment, likely where Schrift I: The Imitator belongs to.
"What else?" Ichigo asked.
"This schrift contains all of Peres's authority of destruction," Yhwach said. "This schrift will likely be as powered if not more powerful than Schrift K: The Kataigída," Yhwach warned. Ichigo picked up the schrift.
"I, Kurosaki Ichigo, bestow upon myself this schrift," Ichigo pushed the schrift inside him. Ichigo felt his body explode from the power contained in this schrift. Ichigo's eyes widen when he realized the full capabilities this schrift could do. Ichigo began to let out a maniacal laugh.
"Are you ok Ichigo?" Yhwach asked.
"Sorry. I just realized the full capabilities of this schrift." Ichigo said. "This schrift allows me full manipulation of destruction. When Peres was thinking of destruction, they think of storms, lightning bolts, earthquakes, and explosions. But he forgot that destruction could be smaller things such as destroying cells and separating atoms." Yhwach eyes widen.
"I see…" Yhwach said.
"I name this schrift, Schrift H:The Hakaimono (Destroyer)." Ichigo said.
"The last thing is Tartarus's blessing," Yhwach said. "The darkness portion merged with Schrift U: The Umbra. It gives you greater control of the shadows, you can travel from one shadow to another without having them be connected, and you can drag people into the shadows." Yhwach said.
"I see… what about his blessing of Greek Monster?" Ichigo asked.
"I merged it with Schrift S: The Shifter. If you order it, all Greek Monsters or monsters that are connected with Greek Monsters will obey you." Yhwach explained.
"I see…" Ichigo said. "What about Prometheus?"
"Prometheus is unique. His Forethought authority was transferred to Schrift W: The War Lord. You gained the ability to detect impending threats and respond to them without realizing it." Yhwach said.
"Interesting, similar to a Hollow's instincts," Ichigo said.
"Indeed," Yhwach said. "While your ability to create Golems is more effective. It required less energy and materials to create a golem. Despite the decrease in energy and materials, these golems are much faster, more intelligent, and more durable."
"I need to try that out," Ichigo said.
"Looks like Moka is saying something to you." With that Ichigo was ejected out of his mindscape.
Scene Change: Outside
Ichigo opened his eyes.
"Thank you, Ichigo for taking us," Moka said. Ichigo leaned over and kissed her on the cheek. "No problem. Ichigo said. He looked to see everyone was having fun, singing along with everyone else. Soon the concert ended, and everyone left the Oakhaven Concert Hall. Ichigo and his group stood up and began to exit the balcony. Outside the concert hall, there was a booth selling exclusive Hex Girls merchandise dedicated to the Oakhaven Autumn Fest. Everyone purchased something from the booth. They soon walked home and noticed they weren't alone. In the living room were Ben and the Hex Girls. The girls were shocked by unexpected visitors.
"Hello, Ben and ladies." Ichigo greeted.
"Who are they, Ben?" Thorn asked. Ben began to introduce the Hex Girls to Ichigo and his family.
"I assume you three are witches?" Ichigo asked.
"Indeed," Thorn answered. "And I assume you have connections to the supernatural world?"
"I'm a vampire," Moka said as she showed off her fangs. "And these are real unlike yours." Luna and Dusk chuckled when Thorn quickly removed her fake fangs.
"While I am a kitsune," Yasaka said as she dispelled her illusion.
"What's a kitsune?" Dusk asked.
"Kitsune are Japanese fox spirits," Ichigo said.
"And you?"
"An overpowered older brother that casually kills gods and demons for his family," Yuzu started.
"Befriend devils, fallen angels, angels, and gods," Karin added.
"A loving papa," Kunou said.
"A very overprotective father," Elizabeth said. Ichigo looked at his sisters and daughters.
"Did you really need to tell them all of that?" He asked.
"Well, they aren't lying," Moka said. Yasaka nodded her head.
"Anyways, let's get dinner started," Ichigo said as he walked into the kitchen. Thorn looked at Moka and Yasaka.
"He knows how to cook?"
"He does," Moka said.
"Don't you just need to drink his blood to survive?" Thorn asked. Moka started at Thorn. "Um…Sorry if I was rude. I'm just curious since I've never met an actual vampire." Moka chuckled, breaking the tension.
"Sure. Let's sit in the living room while we wait for Ichigo to finish cooking." Moka suggested.
"Can my two little helpers come on here!" Ichigo hollered.
"Coming Tou-san!" Elizabeth yelled.
"Wait for me!" Kunou shouted as the two little girls ran into the kitchen. Everyone sat down on the couch and began to talk. During their discussion, Kunou and Elizabeth carefully carried out a tray of drink for everyone.
"We have a can of tomato juice for Okaa-san," Elizabeth said as she handed the can of tomato juice to Moka.
"Thank you, Elizabeth," Moka said as she took the can from her daughter.
"Fresh Jasmine tea for you Okaa-san," Kunou said as she handed Yasaka a cup of hot tea.
"Thank you Kunou." Yasaka complimented.
"Water for Yuzu-obasan and Karin-obasan." Kunou and Elizabeth said in unison as they handed them their water.
"Thank you Kunou and Elizabeth." Yuzu and Karin. The little girls turned to Ben, Thorn, Luna, and Dusk.
"I'm ok," Ben said.
"I'll take a glass of water," Thorn said.
"Same with me," Dusk said.
"A cup of tea for me," Luna said. Kunou and Elizabeth handed Thorn, Dusk, and Luna their drinks.
"Tou-san said food should be ready in twenty minutes." They said as they returned to the kitchen. While they waited, the Hex Girls signed all of everyone's souvenirs. Slowly everyone could smell something amazing from the kitchen. Kunou and Elizabeth ran out to the living room. "Tou-san said to get situated in the dining room." They said. Everyone got up and walked over to the dining room. The dining room was set up and had eleven plates. There were small pieces of paper with everyone's name on it. Ichigo walked out with thirteen different plates; eleven of which were floating around him. The floating plates landed in front of everyone.
"You're using magic!" Ben shouted. The Hex Girls quickly looking around, as if they expected something to happen.
"Worried about something?" Moka asked.
"Why isn't the Aurors here?" Dusk blurted out. "I mean. I don't want them here but usually, they would swarm down on their brooms to force us to obey the rules."
"It appears that the MACUSA isn't able to detect my air manipulation," Ichigo said as he placed the last two plates, which were more than double the size of the regular plates, on the table.
"How did you avoid being logged into their systems?" Ben asked.
"Huh?" Ichigo looked confused.
"You have to have your powers logged into the MACUSA's database before gaining entrance to the country," Thorn said. Ichigo and his group looked at Thorn in confusion.
"You see, the United States and Canada, have suffered multiple terrorist attacks done by terrorist organizations with the help of allied wizards and witches who were in the country beforehand. When the MACUSA discovered this, they enacted a registration policy as an attempt to capture future terrorist witches or wizards." Ben explained.
"Has this policy worked?" Ichigo asked.
"It has been reported that the policy worked," Dusk asked.
"Ah bureaucracy," Yasaka said.
"I used my own method to get into the United States undetected," Ichigo said as he sat down. "Let's eat before the food gets cold."
"Itadakimasu." Ichigo and his group said in unison. Ben and the Hex Girls looked confused.
"It means 'Thanks for the food'. We traditionally say it before we eat." Ichigo explained. "You don't have to do it if you don't want to."
"Thanks for the food." Ben, Thorn, Luna, and Dusk said. Everyone pulled the plate cover off to reveal a nice large cut of steak with mash potatoes and gravy on the side. The large plates revealed fried tofu.
"FRIED TOFU!" Yasaka and Kunou shouted.
"No fried tofu until you eat half your dinner." Ichigo reprimanded. Both Yasaka and Kunou pouted at Ichigo; trying to convince him otherwise. Ichigo ignored them and began to dig into his steak.
"Um… why the huge reaction to fried tofu?" Thorn asked.
"Kitsune's love fried tofu. It's their favorite snack." Moka explained as she cut into her steak. Her steak was cooked rare; hemoglobin began to leak out of it. Moka turned to Ichigo. "You remembered that I like my steak rare."
"I do," Ichigo said. "The fried tofu is free for everyone else," Ichigo said. Everyone enjoyed their dinner. After a wonderful dinner, Ben collected all the dishes and took them to the kitchen. He forbid Ichigo or any of his guests from cleaning the dishes. Everyone returned to the living room to talk more. Kunou and Elizabeth let out a big yawn.
"Looks like its bedtime," Ichigo said. Kunou and Elizabeth nodded their heads.
"It is getting pretty late," Thorn said as all the Hex Girls stood up.
"Thank you for the wonderful meal." They said as they left. Everyone went to their respective rooms and went to bed.
First off, disclaimers.
"Scooby-Doo and the Witch's Ghost is owned by Warner Bros. Animation, Hanna-Barbera Cartoons, Inc, and Mook Animation."
Yes I am evil. Scooby Doo is be one of many crossovers featured in America. As your can tell, Ichigo is going across the country to Los Angeles. Can anyone guess who else is going to show up, besides The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy.
