Chapter 54: Water Puns

(Que Story OP – Hello Sleepwalkers "Hyakkiyakou")

(Earlier in Karakura Town)

Since the end of the events of infiltrating the heavens of the Soul Society and fighting through hordes of shinigami that would make his ancestors proud, Uryu had found that life right now had a mostly tolerable normality. The loss of his powers had forced him to live life as everyday beings go. He can still see Pluses and Hollows, from a distance of course from the latter, but Uryu simply had no way fighting them. However, he didn't regret his decision to damage his own powers beyond usability and was content to live without them. Uryu was already heading towards a successful life with his high-tiered academics at Karakura High that guarantee him a position at a wonderful university to then a wonderful career.

Uryu had no longing for battling against the supernatural, and he had high trust in the rest of the gang. Especially, and grudgingly, in Ichigo and Ruby given their monstrous strength that was unnatural even to the supernatural standards. With power like that, Uryu had little worry for them not being able to protect Karakura Town from Hollow attacks. Still he felt something abstract now that he was a spectator to these events without his Quincy powers. It was almost like he was dissatisfied not being able to help protect people anymore.

The powerless Quincy fixed his glasses up his nose whilst carrying groceries for home, his glasses taking an almost stark white reflection from the light of the sky. Dusk was approaching in a scant few hours indicated by the growing golden sheen from the lowering sun. As usual, the streets of Karakura are moderately full of people walking down the streets going about their day. It is nostalgic to see in Uryu's case how these people can be so blissfully unaware of the spiritual terrors that haunt them everyday of their lives, and it also gives credit to how well the shinigami do their job in protecting most of the population. Most being the operative word as it was proven to Uryu in the Sereitei and his encounter with Mayuri Kurotsuchi that the shinigami themselves can be corrupt.

As Uryu approached a corner, he suddenly went on the defensive as the sound of panicked screaming reached his ears. His eyes locked ahead seeing civilians from the entire around the corner fleeing away. While this was certainly alarming, what unnerved Uryu was how aware of the apparent danger that Uryu assumed from how orderly they were running. If it was a Hollow attack, the fact that they were invisible would cause a much more chaotic reaction from the people as they would have no idea where to look for the attack. In this case, they knew and saw the danger.

It added more alarm and confusion to the situation when Uryu picked up on what they were screaming about.

"It's a monster. It's a freaking giant monster."

"That thing just tore down the wall of a building!"

"Why does that think have huge claws!?"

All these screams and then some gave all the more alarm to Uryu that this was beyond strange, even compared to supernatural standards. The description was enough to give credence to a Hollow, but what set it all off all of the civilians could see it. If it was some sort of animal Uryu could understand, but none of the local fauna are not dangerous and never venture out into town. Not to mention any of them can make a whole street flee in terror.

He didn't have to wait when the subject of the panic came around the corner. The panicked words from the civilians did not give credit to the literal monster that emerged from the corner. It was over a story tall in height on all fours and had pitch black hide. The general shape was a bear, but that is all it had in similarities. The rest of it was completely alien with bony plates covering its bulky body, humongous claws the size of his forearm, and a back covered in oversized spikes big enough to skewer people like a shish kabob.

Blood red eyes from darkness born on him. Uryu at first thought the creature was a Hollow until it stood on its hind legs to give a massive roar. There was no such a Hollow hole anywhere on its body, which came to the only conclusion that unnerved Uryu. That this thing was a real life monster. It ran into a charge after Uryu, who narrowed his eyes prepared for battle.

Just because he gave up his powers did not mean Uryu was never prepared for a fight against a threat from the supernatural. His hands reached into his coat pulling out a small device white in color. and from a small opening came an almost invisible wire shining blue. Refined instincts kicked in, allowing Uryu to successfully dodged the jaw that smashed through the cement sidewalk. The black creature swiped its left paw trying to slice its claws through the powerless Quincy, but Uryu leaped over it. He continued running and then sliding between the creature's legs. Back around Uryu came until he stopped a few meters away from the beat. Then Uryu pulled hard and the wire tightened entrapping the creature's left arm and leg. Despite its incredible size and power, it proved to not work on the wire that refused to break, and led to the creature collapsing due to imbalance.

"I may not have my powers anymore, but," Uryu said, pulling harder on the wire, "I refuse to give my title as a Quincy."

As Uryu pulled harder, the wire was showing signs of cutting into the black hide. Silber Draht was the name of the wire, a Quincy tool forged through their spiritual power. It made it virtually indestructible to physical trauma and like most Quincy weapons drained targets of spiritual energy. For Uryu, it made the perfect 'retirement' weapon if he ever was forced to fight against a Hollow that found him a neat morsel. When that happened, he was going to show those creatures that he can do more than bite back.

But this creature was different from a Hollow. For one, Uryu could not sense that it was weakening from having its reiatsu drained via the Silber Draht. In fact, Uryu had a feeling this monster before him did not have the capacity to generate spiritual energy, and it acted much more like an animal than a Hollow. There was a need for destruction in those red eyes rather than the ceaseless hunger Uryu was familiar with in the golden eyes of Hollows. Only the Silber Draht's invincibility kept the beast in place.

However, the creature was not so below to adapt to the current situation. The creature stopped struggling against its restraints and angled its back towards Uryu. His instincts screamed at him to dodge, and the next Uryu knew he was beset by a hail of those white spikes on its back. Uryu barely got away from the bulk of the attack, but one large spike managed to graze the side of his head enough to give him a concussion.

Uryu's sensations were muddled from the blow, and he felt light-headed as his concussion started to bleed rather in dangerous volumes. His grip on the Silber Draht loosened, allowing the creature to regain its balance with the return of its left limbs. It snarled in what Uryu thought was in triumph, and savored its soon-to-be-kill in its slow accost. Only a cold glare from the powerless Quincy was all Uryu could summon in defiance.

'So this is how a die.' Uryu thought. 'Not by a Hollow or shinigami, but by a giant prickly bear.'

His concussion caused Uryu to fall into unconsciousness. Just as darkness took his vision, the last he saw was the giant bear spikes swallowed in unrelenting orange flames, then a beautiful of a bruenette woman with red lips.

(Present)

"... Uryu..." Shouted the voice of the most annoying person in the world, "... Uryu... you alright..."

With a groan, Uryu forced his eyes open back to reality for the first time since he lost unconsciousness. Instead of the cold ground of the sidewalk, Uryu was laying comfortably in a hospital bed. His head had a dull throb where his concussion was, now carefully bandaged. Uryu's eyes scanned the room, finding the design of the room belonging to his father's clinic, and seeing the familiar faces of Ichigo, Ruby, Ren, Senna, Orihime, and Chad as well as a considerable amount of new ones.

"I did not want to wake up hearing your annoying voice, Kurosaki." Uryu bit back at the three-way hybrid.

Ichigo sighed. "Well, at least we know that you are alright. What happened to you? Were you attacked by a Hollow?"

"Who's four-eyes over here?" Yang asked Ruby in a whisper.

"This is Uryu Ishida." Ruby summarized. "He is or was a spiritual-powered person called a Quincy. He helped out in our little rescue in the Soul Society, but lost his powers in the process. Think of him like a cross between Weiss and Blake."

"So heavily reserved and intelligent?" Weiss surmised.

"Or princely and reads pornography?" Yang joked, but the deadpan looks from the rest of her teammates showed their lack of amusement. "You guys have no humor."

Uryu had also overheard Yang's comment and his eyes were locked on a cold stare on the buxom blonde as they twitched erratically. Just one second he had met this person, and already she went above Ichigo in the 'dislike' apartment.

"Yes, I was attacked." Uryu admitted. "At first, I thought it was a Hollow, but the people were able to see it. I soon found out it was no Hollow, but it was no natural thing. It was a true real life monster."

"A real monster?" Ren wondered with a quirked eyebrow while Nora and Jaune were slightly confused on the matter. "What did it look like?"

"Well, on the base it looked a very large bear, possibly the size of a building on just all fours." Uryu described, holding his chin in thought trying to recollect his memories of the incident. "It was pitch black in color with bony plates covering its body and a white face. Its back however was covered in humongous spikes big enough for one to punch a hole through my gut. Notably, it these crimson eyes, and it acted more of a rabid animal than some Hollows I have encountered. The weird thing about it is that it didn't possess reiatsu."

"Huh." Responded Jaune. "That sounds perfectly like an Ursa Major. I remembered when one scared and... I..."

Slowly, the horrifying realization came upon them like a ton of dropped bricks. The humor from Yang left her face, and Weiss was considerably pale. None more so were more profound to Ruby, whose eyes were wide with panic. That didn't sound like a Grimm. It was a description of a Grimm, one that had landed itself on Earth.

"If that was a Grimm," Blake said, "that means that-"

"There could be more?" Weiss said. "Or that someone has active travel between Earth and Remnant? I don't know which one is worse."

"No..." Whimpered Ruby, clutching her head. "No, no, no, no, no! This is the worst thing that I didn't want to happen. If - if Grimm can come here to Earth, then that means - that means Hollows can go to Remnant."

"Ruby, easy!" Ichigo calmed down his girlfriend, holding Ruby by her shoulders to give her steady comfort. "It's going to be alright. It was just one Grimm, and there haven't been any other cases of panic in Karakura. We'll find whoever is doing this."

"What I am confused about is why we didn't pick up the Grimm on the radar?" Senna wondered. "Their basically like a different version of Hollows, right?"

"On the outside perhaps." Ren answered. "But the true distinction between Grimm and Hollows is that Grimm lack a soul, which in turn means they lack reiatsu. This means that not even a skilled sensor can even sense the Grimm being there. They are completely undetectable to shinigami means."

"That sounds like a whole lot of bad, Renny." Nora said.

The Remnanties fell into a dead silence, mulling over the potential both Earth and Remnant were in. For Remnant, they had no defense to a horde that can spontaneously appear through portals and will attack anyone with an Aura. The denizens of Earth had no proper means to combat the hordes of Grimm unlike Remnant that has learned through over a thousand years with the dark creatues. There was no good way to think about it.

"One last question." Ichigo said, switching to a different subject. "How'd you get away?"

"I didn't." Uryu revealed. "I was on my last leg and about to be a giant bear's new chew toy. The last I saw was this supposed 'Grimm' engulfed in flames and the face of a woman."

"That sounds like the Bount lady with the fire Doll." Ruby assumed. "But why would a Bount want with Uryu, and more importantly why keep you alive?"

"I have no idea." Uryu lamented.

"They may try again." Ren said. "I think it is best we stay in the hospital in case they come again."

Nora interpreted Ren's words in a different. "Are we doing a hospital sleepover, Renny~?"

Ren's eyes widened. "That's not what I-"

"Oh, that sounds wonderful." Orihime agreed. "I'll bring over sleeping bags for everyone."

"That's the way, sister." Nora cheered her fellow orange-head.

Ren sighed in exasperation. Knowing Nora, she had the tenacity to make her wild imaginations somehow into reality. With Orihime at her aid, it soon did devolve into a hospital sleepover to the staff's amusement.

(That Night)

Apparently, Uryu's father was very loose on ground rules at the hospital so a sleepover was possible. On the other hand, only Orihime, Nora, and unfortunately Ren. Unfortunate in that fact he was forced into this as a sleep Nora trapped him in her super strength hug and used him as a cuddle toy in their now shared sleeping bag. That goes a step farther for Ren's 'misfortune' seeing as Nora opted to go in her actual sleeping wear that only had shorts and a shirt.

Which meant that as Nora was holding Ren close to her in a bear-like grip, there was a only one layer of stretched fabric between himself and the pair of sizable 'warm pillows' pressing into his side. Quite frankly, this whole situation proved to Ren's emotional control and that only a red blush was present on Ren's face. This was the second time Nora had done this, but the difference was that the first time Nora dragged Ren in a shared bed was when they were children all alone. Now the whole circumstances were completely and both of them had reasonably grown into young adults. The term 'grown' worked more ways than one with Nora.

"Renny feels so soft~..." Nora's slurred words caused a casket to blow up within Ren, turning his whole face red.

His embarrassment was also increased at the fact he could feel Nora's fingers running over his torso and chest in circles, and the reaction they were creating. Ren's stoic expression crumbled into that of silent terror as the situation was growing out of proportion. As soon as the 'impure' thoughts came to Ren's head surrounding his best friend, his thoughts devolved into hellish screams.

Everyone else was more professional than the couple and Orihime. Chad was sitting at a table with Yang, Blake, Weiss, Jaune, and even Renji, who were all in spiritual form. Most if not all the staff of clinic had left leaving the halls dark with the light turned off. The Mod Souls were sitting on a couch behind them constantly on the alert for Bount activity.

"Weeeiiisss..." Yang whined out, who was resting her head on her arms.

Weiss sighed. "What is it Yang?"

"I'm booorrreed." Yang drawled on.

Weiss' eyes twitched. "You've said that for the 20th time. Just... Just bear with us."

"But I'm bored." Cried Yang in mock hurt. "Blakey, help me not be bored."

Blake's cat ears twitched in irritation. Unlike the rest of her team, Blake occupied herself reading one of Ruby's light novels she had collected in her stay in her world. A quite... enrapturing book if she said so herself, and she was forced to look up from the book and glance at the bored blonde. Her golden eyes flicked between Weiss and Yang.

"No, I'm not dealing with this." The bookworm stated, going back to her reading.

"But Blakey/Blake you're my/her partner!" Weiss and Yang exclaimed simultaneously.

"Can you stop being you... for like five minutes?" Weiss implored, bordering on begging.

Yang looked to Jaune, but the blonde boy immediately raised his hands in a 'nope' gesture. He wasn't going to get himself into that kind of mess.

In Uryu's hospital room, the powerless Quincy was fast asleep guarded by Rukia, Ichigo, and Ruby in spiritual form. It still made Rukia nervous of Ruby's presence given her very Hollow-like spiritual pressure, but it still held a good sensation to it similar to Ichigo. On the subject of the shinigami, Rukia had no idea how to distinguish Ichigo's reiatsu at all.

"Ruby, Ichigo..." Rukia spoke up, catching the couple's attention. "I'd like to say thank you."

Ichigo quirked an eyebrow. "For what?"

Rukia seemed to flush. "Just... because."

Ruby snorted. "I'm pretty sure thanks have been said when we got you out of the Sou Society. We'd gladly to it again."

"It's just that." Rukia tried to rationalize. "It's just well..."

"C'mon, you don't need to thank us, Rukia." Ichigo said. "Like Ruby said, we'd gladly do it again. That's just the kind of people we are. We'd fight-"

"Shh." Ruby suddenly shushed, her wolf ears perking up straight. "I hear something. The wall's started to rumble. Is that... water?"

As if on cue, the door to the bathroom exploded open by a flood of water. The sudden torrent went out of the room and into the hall where the rest of the crew were sitting. Senna was hit by the oncoming wave and tossed down the hall like a rag doll. She was saved from hitting the wall when Blake used her rope to snag her back.

"Thanks for the save." Senna said. "But... did water just fling me off?"

"Finally." Yang said with a wide smile, now free of boredom. "Now I'm getting - pumped up?"

Blake's eyes widened. "No, you are not doing this. Not now!"

"I have no idea water you talking about." Yang - punned!

"Shut up, shut up, shut up!" Muttered Blake incessantly.

But there was no stopping the puns from Yang. She had finally found something to relieve her of boredom and something to inspire a whole scroll of puns. The blonde was going to milk this as much as she could at the expense of her teammates' sanity. Once everyone reached the room where the flood came from, they were treated to the sight of Uryu being trapped in a bubble of water that threatened to choke him. Chad was the first to try and free Uryu, but his efforts of grabbing Uryu out were useless as the water had an odd intelligence of slithering and reforming.

"A Doll of water?" Ruby surmised. "Tch, just great. And I thought the lava monster was ridiculous. Weiss, can you freeze the water?"

"I could, but I might trap Uryu by accident." Weiss said.

Ruby almost smacked herself when an obvious solution came to mind. "Hado 1: Sho."

A telekinetic blast of reiatsu from Ruby's finger dissipated the water and Uryu coughing for air but thankfully alive. That however did not defeat the water-based Doll as the odd entity was still moving. Ichigo told everyone to move out of the room knowing it was unsafe, and ran back out into the dark halls with Chad carrying the Ishida on his back. They were not far from danger as tendrils of water would strike at them occasionally, quickly pushed back by Ichigo and Ruby slashing their zanpakuto through them or Weiss freezing them in place.

"This is so annoying." Weiss growled, freezing a splash of water aimed for Jaune's back.

"Getting tide-erd, Weiss?" Joked Yang, punching a tendril of water with a shot of fire.

"By the gods, I am going to freeze your tongue!" Exclaimed Weiss.

In her scream, she wasn't able to react to the Doll suddenly capturing Chad and Uryu in a drowning embrace. It was Jaune who went into action and tackled the two out of safety. When the Doll tried to repeat, Jaune bashed the water away.

"Can you two please keep your head in the game?!" Jaune shouted. "I do not plan on dying by drowning miles away from any lake or ocean."

"Just water are we going to do?" Yang half-punned, only to have to dodge a Bala that conveniently blasted a manifested Doll in front of her.

"Yang..." Hissed Blake, her eyes glaring like an angry cat ready to tear a fish apart.

"We have to find somewhere there isn't any water!" Ichigo said.

"I don't think that's happening." Ruby said, her wolf ears. "I can hear the patter of rain outside."

"Which means there's no escape for you." Said a sinister, yet oddly young voice from the darkness.

"Guhl and Gunther were tear you apart." Said an nearly identical voice.

"Bounts." Growled Ruby, smelling their scent in the air. "Ichigo, can you set down a barrier real quick?"

Ichigo nodded and stabbed his dual zanpakuto in their released states. "Tsuki no Hogo."

A dome of red, black, red, and white reiatsu surrounded the whole group and boiled away the water Doll whenever it got close. This gave the group much needed breathing room, and some like Jaune and Weiss sat down on the ground.

"Jeez, after all that I am feeling quite flushed." Punned Yang. "Eh? Eh!? C'mon laugh."

"Oh my god, when can take the fact you're puns are not funny." Snapped Senna, gripping her hair in frustration.

Yang smirked playfully. "What are you docking a-boat, wind girl? Don't you sea the comedy gold? I could really kr-"

"AHHHHH, I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!" Senna screamed, veins bulging on her forehead. "THAT'S IT. IF IT MEANS THIS FAT-CHEST BLONDE STOPS, I AM REDUCING THIS WHOLE CLINIC IN A TORNADO! GET THIS THING DOWN AND I WILL END THIS!"

Ichigo didn't needed to be told twice and lowered the shield, much to Uryu's protest about damages to the clinic. The Dolls struck back on the group to swallow them in water, but Senna was faster in releasing her zanpakuto.

"Bring them to the twilight, Mirokumaru."

The blade glowed and transformed into the golden khakkhara with the pointed tip. While the water Dolls were fierce, they stood no resistance against her zanpakuto's raging winds that it summoned. Senna held nothing back blasting all of the halls with the storm tornadoes. She felt the Dolls try and fail to reform in the raging winds as well as the presence of two signatures near their location. Commanding her zanpakuto to bring them to light, Senna stopped Mirokumaru's rampage through the clinic.

Right on the ground in front them were seemingly two twin boys, but they knew better than that. There was a rage in their eyes that not even adults should possess, and they carried themselves as if they were a higher being than everyone else. Ruby noticed water collecting around two bottle caps, but Senna activated Mirokumaru's power to stop them reforming.

"Those bottle caps." Ruby said, pointing to the objects on the ground. "Destroy the bottle caps."

Ren was the one to go forward aiming his hand forward. A wordless Haien blasted from his palm and reduced the Doll constructs to dust. The group were then treated to the horrific sight of the twin 'boys' suddenly aging to a full human's lifespan right before their eyes. Their healthy skin reduced to a shriveled mess while they screamed in pain, and they finally died turning into dust.

"What the..." Blake gasped, eyes wide in shock and horror. "What happened to them?"

"The Dolls." Ruby noted. "The Dolls have to serve as an anchor to the living world. They may have looked like children, but they must've lived so long that without their Dolls they ceased to be."

"Brats... in any and all shapes... it's always the brats." Senna mumbled.

"Well," Yang spoke up, "that was a si-"

"SHUT THE **** UP, YANG!"

"... You guys are no fun." Yang whined with a pout.

Blake, in an act of pity, bowed deeply before everyone. "I am so sorry for my partner's attitude."

And during all of this, Nora was snoring the entire time whilst dreaming of her Renny and herself stabbing vampires with stakes. Too bad she missed out on offing two.

I really wanted to get this chapter out before the end of the day, so sorry if it is a little rush. I figured with Senna there, the power of Mirokumaru would overwhelm the Guhl and Gunther Dolls since they are constructs of water. Who also hates Yang's incessant, but you also got to love childhood romance? That is main thing I wanted to take from this chapter to bring Nora and Ren just a little bit closer through initial physical attraction. And I figured that Nora would be the first to make the moves.

I have these new story ideas. This time, these come from suggestions that myself and my friend, Haxorus knight, have been discussing through chat. We have two possible stories.

Successor to Madara, a RWBY and Naruto crossover.

Summary: Ruby has a much more powerful legacy than none would believe. From her mother's side, her great-grandfather is a man that had entire nations in fear of his name. That man is Madara from the Elemental Nation, and very much alive. It is at the age of six shortly after Summer's death that she is retrieved by Tobi to Madara where she shall be trained to be his ultimate legacy to pass on to. Cause whoever said Madara was bad at being a great-grandfather? Silver EMS Sharingan Ruby. Scorch/Crystal Release Ruby. RubyxOC. Rated M for adult themes and lemons.

The Overlady, a RWBY and Overlord crossover.

Summary: That need for strength, even in the purpose of doing good, can create a seed of darkness. Ruby, freshly at Signal, more than anything wants to be strong to be like her mother but is frustrated in her shortcomings. It is then that seed for evil is born, but never grown due to Qrow's tutelage. What if another force came to her sooner than Qrow in the form of an immortal goblin named Gnarl, gifting both strength, power, and an empire? How could a girl at that point say no? Overlady Ruby. RubyxOC. Rated M for intense lemons.

So yeah, those are the new stories that my friend and I discussed over, and we are still working out the details. Here's one of my own.

Guadoko, Collector of Heroes, a Fate/Stay Night and Highschool DxD crossover.

Summary: So it all started when Guadoko was spying on her best friend's date, only to find out said date killed her best friend. Trying to save Issei, Guadoko had unlocked her Sacred Gear Sephiroth Grail, but something is not right. For one, there's nine of them, and how is she's the master of who!? The only thing that Guadoko knew - was that she was going to have the greatest collection of heroes. Surrender your Saint Quartz. Semi-species/Type-Moon Grail Sacred Gear. Demonic-like Guadoko. Slight OP, but only because of her EX Rank Luck at getting the SSR heroes.

I will be working on either Shining Light, Rose Dragon Empress, or start Red Campione after this.

So who else hyped that the Bleach anime is finally coming back after nine years!?

Up next is Chapter 55.

Stay in touch. Please, please leave a review.
