Bleach – The Heart of the Matter

By Tayla Drago

Well, good thing the innocent bystanders all got out to aid the weak ones from outside of the building now since one monster were all stopped thanks to Urahara, Tessai, Jinta, Ururu, Yoruichi, Ririn, Kurodo, and Noba make their way inside of the building to aid Ichigo and the others right away. Hurry…!

"Alright!" Ririn cheers. "We did it!"

"We made it in too while making our way through to stop those filthy vines while we all worked together." Kurodo added.

Noba just covers his face over his shyness again.

"That we did…"

"And that's how we roll, huh Ururu?" Jinta ask while being a show off.

"Well, it was alright I guess for the two of us…"

For her to say it right back, Jinta got mad over nothing to almost hit Ururu with a baseball bat to make her scared to keep on saying 'stop it' repeatedly.

"Hey! Watch it! I did great!"

"No fighting, you two!" Tessai picks up Jinta. "Save it for the bad guys."

"Yes, sir!" said Jinta and Ururu.

Good to know for both Ichigo or Sonia weren't alone in this fight…As Yoruichi and Urahara felt out on what was left from the inside of the building, when they step inside for them to feel out a strong energy to be a very dark one. Dracula was coming with four more monsters of his to arriving already with their master.

"Ah, man…Not good." Urahara was sweating in fear. "Ah, Yoruichi…?"

"I know, Urahara, I take it you just sense it too like I did." she said. "It's the King of Darkness has made his arrival. Everyone else escaped while Ichigo, Sonia, Alucard, and the others were fighting off with his toughest six solders like Executioner was for you to beat easily."

Soon the other six senses out the fear to be ready to fight once they enter in…

"Either way, we need to be on our guard for anything. I think…Damn, I should've known 'he' would be the traitor behind our backs." said Urahara. "Why didn't I sense this earlier?"

So Urahara already knows who it is? Well, things get bad for a man comes up with a chainsaw for a hand to cut down Jinta and Ururu from behind for Tessai to see the danger and saves the two quickly by shielding them with his own body.

"Jinta! Ururu! Duck!"

Saving them both, Tessai gets cut down by the chainsaw from the back in seconds to be down for the count for Jinta and Ururu get back up to try aiding him from Dracula's other monster to arrive – from the Castlevania 64 boss to chase you around the maze garden thingy, it was the Chainsaw Killer. Or Chainsaw for short. Like Frankenstein's Monster to have a chainsaw for a hand to be a mindless type of zombie who's tall and very strong who doesn't talk but he does obey Dracula's orders.

The Gardener in Castlevania and Legacy of Darkness appears as an indestructible monster armed with a chainsaw for one hand. He is based on the canceled playable character Coller, as well as sharing many visual similarities with The Creature (in fact, being renamed as Frankenstein Gardener in the western localization of Legacy of Darkness).

During Cornell's story line, the player is asked by Mary Oldrey to save her son, Henry, from the Gardener in exchange for the Copper Key. The player is then required to escort Henry to the exit while defending him from the Gardener.

During Reinhardt's and Carrie's campaigns, the Gardener can first be found pruning one of the hedges of the maze. If approached or attacked, he will pursue the player. After meeting Malus, the player has to escape the Gardener, this time accompanied by two gargoyle hounds. After this, the Gardener will pursue the player whenever they enter the maze. In addition, once the player picks up the Copper Key after escaping the maze on Hard Mode, the Gardener and his dogs will spawn outside the maze proper, in a boss fight. Once his health is depleted, the Gardener and the dogs will collapse, remaining unconscious until the player enters the Villa again.

The Gardener only appears in Henry's story line if the player enters the area by the main entrance, near where Cornell meets Henry, and Carrie and Reinhardt meet Malus. Like in Cornell's campaign, the gargoyle dogs do not appear alongside the Gardener.

"Tessai!" shock to two kids.

Shock Yoruichi, Urahara, and the other three Modsouls Ririn, Kurodo, and Noba try fighting back to saving their own backs.

"Grr…! Hey, ugly, you'll pay for that!" she gives her friends an order. "Kurodo! Noba! On my mark, attack!"

Ririn runs at Chainsaw Killer first for Kurodo and Noba to join her.

"Charge!"

"Wait, you three! Don't do it!" Urahara warns them too late.

"(This is bad…!) We need to fight together!" Yoruichi rushes over to their side. "You three don't stand a chance to fight this monster!"

Seems like Chainsaw Killer won't be so easy to defeat, huh? As Ichigo, Rukia, Chad, Sonia, and Kon 'in Ichigo's body' finally take a breather after fighting with the plant monster to save the many lives, all seems to be good for someone else to whip at the lights to go out to turn in to darkness for all of them to notice the other danger from inside the entire building.

"Hey, you guys! Look!" Kon pointed out.

To their surprise and Sonia more to call out that person's name to be happy to see again.

"Richard…? My big brother…Richard Belmont!"

Once Sonia said it loud and clear, the other four see it was really him.

"That's your brother?" shock Ichigo.

For Sonia to walk up to Richard to be hugging him and was crying with tears of joy to know he has escaped form Dracula alive, however something didn't feel right…

"Oh, Big Brother, you're okay!" she said. "You had all of us worried back at home. Alucard, Howey, Maria misses you a lot, Sensei, the Mayor, and me too! Are you okay? Did Dracula do something bad to you?" Sonia then felt Richard wasn't himself right now. "Huh? Big Brother?"

For Richard did look different with darker look from his entire body to not look like him normal self 'the look from Castlevania: Curse of Darkness of the Doppelganger Belmont but I want to call him Richard instead in my version', he then gets his whip at to use it on Sonia.

"Is he feeling all right?" ask Chad.

"Don't know…" answer Ichigo.

Rukia was the first to notice Richard to warn Sonia to move away.

"Look out, Sonia! That's not your brother! Get away!"

But it was too late for Sonia to hear Rukia's warning to get whipped badly by Richard to hit his own sister. Yep, something was very wrong here. Now the others had to fight back against him whether they wanted to or not.

"Ah! Richard Belmont just whipped at his own sister!" Kon was horrified.

Ichigo uses his Zanpakto of many shadow moves to stop the other whip to save Sonia.

"Bastard…! What kind of brother are you to whip your own little sister like it was nothing?"

"Wait, Ichigo-!" Sonia tries to talk to him.

"Sonia, can you sense it? Or even tell from the way your brother's acting?" he said to Sonia. "That's not Richard right now. You see? Otherwise, why else would he be trying to hurt you?"

Now she sees it through Richard's eyes and the way he was acting like now. From the look on Richard's neck, he was bitten by Dracula himself to make him into a type of slave vampire warrior with dark powers throughout his entire body.

"All hail Lord Dracula…" he said in an insane way.

"No…Dracula just bit Richard to become his servant…!" angered Sonia. "That bastard, how could he do this to him?!"

Orihime, Renji, Hayame, and Uryu were finally back with the others to miss out on what's going on to then be seeing Richard Belmont was fighting against them instead of fighting with them.

"Ichigo!" Orihime calls out his name. "What are you doing?"

Soon the four see the bite marks of a vampire on Richard's neck to be filled with dark energy.

"What's going on here…?" ask Hayame. "Uryu?"

Hayame had a bad feeling about all of this to be right next to Uryu's side to know something wasn't right, and even for him to know already like his girlfriend has.

"I don't know…But from the look on Richard's neck, he has some type of bite mark, he's under Dracula's spell!"

"That's Richard Belmont!"

Once Kon said tit to the others, the rest of four wishes to know about the rest of the details…

"What does this all mean? What's going on?" Renji was confused. "Rukia?"

"I don't know, but from the look in Richard's eyes…I knew it wasn't the real him because Dracula turned him into a vampire to fight against us." she said. "This is bad. And just as we thought we could try saving him, we're too late."

She was right and this was bad for the others and Ichigo to fight against Richard like this, even for Sonia to be this upset right now. Things only get much worse for Urahara, Yoruichi, and the other six to arrive and to all be beaten already by Chainsaw Killer to soon be making his appearance.

"(Another monster?)" shock Sonia.

"They've gotten to everyone…" same with Chad.

For they see the others to go down for Orihime was left speechless in fear of her friends now.

"Oh, no…! Mr. Urahara, Yoruichi, Tessai, Jinta, Ururu, Kurodo, Ririn, and Noba…! They're all out cold."

And a mess to be lucky enough to still be alive, unless Chainsaw Killer and Richard would finish them off now, but they didn't to stop by Dracula's orders for now. Soon, to be walking in blood all over his body…Alucard finally appears for Ichigo, Sonia, and everyone else to see him to be a bit beaten up but he was unharmed. Still, something else wasn't right either. Sonia tries to run up to her partner in a hurry while Ichigo and Richard had a swinging sword to whipping type of battle.

"Alucard?" Ichigo said while fighting. "We got a problem here…! Richard has been-!"

"Oh, Alucard, this is awful…" Sonia said to sound upset. "Big Brother was taken by Dracula in one bite as his servant and mind control. I don't think Ichigo or the rest of us can stop him alone! Please help us…Huh?" she sees blood all over Alucard. "Alucard, you're covered in blood! But if it's not yours, that's good. Still, have the others escaped? Please answer-!"

Not likely…Alucard shows from one light to shine on the corpses to see the entire band and staff members were all killed…by Alucard's doing?! Huh? Urahara had to say something to the others while he was about to have enough strength to move around a bit.

"Ichigo…Rukia…Sonia…everyone…stop Alucard…he's been working for his own father Dracula…" he said in pain. "He's the spy…"

Now this was bad for Alucard then grabs hold of Sonia from behind to hold her down and Ichigo tries to come to her rescue.

"Sonia!" he was mad now. "Hey, Alucard! How could you-?!"

However, Richard stops Ichigo to whip him around so many times to be slash at all over his entire body in seconds.

"Stay out of this, boy!"

Ouch! That really had to hurt there, Ichigo won't give up though for Sonia tries getting out of Alucard's grasp to tell Chainsaw Killer and Richard to both stand down for now. This was bad…why would Alucard work for Dracula now? This doesn't make any sense! Sonia's brother who was now mind controlled and now a big shock of a traitor to her only childhood friend to be none other than Alucard to go rogue.

"Richard. Chainsaw. Enough, stand down. Father is coming." he said for the two to listen to him. "Looks like you all found out about me, huh? That Kisuke's a sneaky one, this old Soul Reaper…taking out the others was easy for me, so it had to be done to end it quickly than to make them all suffer by the Lillis' you know? Sonia, I'm sorry you had to find out the hard way from me and your brother working for my Father now. But I've chose this new life for a reason, he's coming…"

"What? What do you mean?" Sonia was lost to not believe in any of this that was very real.

"I meant what I said. This world is dying, it's time for him, me, and for all of us to make a change for the better. Again, I'm sorry it had to end up like this, I really am."

Not good for Ichigo, Rukia, Orihime, Uryu, Chad, Renji, Kon, Hayame, Sonia, Urahara, Yoruichi, Tessai, Jinta, Ururu, Ririn, Kurodo, and Noba were all trapped now to be too weak to fight back in this battle since the other monsters weaken everyone. Three of them – with one mind controlled Richard, Chainsaw Killer, and the traitor Alucard. And with Dracula arriving, things will get ten times worse to have all four of them to finish Team Ichigo off.

"So you've chose your mess up father over us, Alucard?! No!" Sonia was mad and sad at the same time. "You used me and the villagers all along with your twisted lies, you traitor!"

No kidding! As Richard and Chainsaw Killer stayed put and Alucard had everything on hold for Ichigo, Sonia, and the others were all trapped, he soon appears from the doors to open for him. Dracula! He finally arrives for the others felt him out for Urahara to go out cold with the others but Yoruichi watches the whole thing to feel very weak to do anything else, she fears the worse to not be ready to stop Dracula, Alucard, Richard 'who was being mind controlled', and/or Chainsaw Killer.

"No…it can't be him…!" feared Rukia.

"Rukia, you don't think…? You mean...he has come?" Renji asked.

"I'm afraid so, Renji."

Kon was freaking out while trying to be strong at least for Rukia and the other girls to protect, and his friends.

"It can't be…!" he said.

"No way…!" Ichigo was freaking out.

Soon the others from Renji, Kon, Orihime, Uryu, Chad, Hayame, Ichigo, Sonia, and Yoruichi to see the King of Darkness finally making his appearances to do something to all of them and the others. As Alucard kept Sonia on hold with Ichigo stuck with Richard and Chainsaw blocking the others out of the way by using Urahara, Yoruichi, Tessai, Jinta, Ururu, Ririn, Kurodo, and Noba to be cut if any of them make any movement. Now that's so playing unfair here!

"Count Dracula!" both Sonia and Ichigo said together.

"Dracula?!" shock Orihime, Uryu, Chad, and Hayame.

Dracula looks at his enemies who are trying to stop him. From the Belmonts to have one working for him now, Alucard too in saying things to make his own half breed son to join on his side, seeing the others were weak, and seeing a female Belmont to be right where he wanted her to be.

"Ah, I just made it in time. It seems like the Lillis and my last six brightest soldiers have done well to weaken my enemies for me. Well done, Alucard, you've sure lower their spirits down. Same with you too, Richard." he smiled. "Chainsaw, you did very well to make the others fall down to their defeat. You may stand down…I must look at each of my enemies my son has reported to me of their every type of fighting skills I've witness so far. I know how to beat all of you in seconds."

Seems like on what Dracula said of Alucard who was the spy was all true for the others to try stopping Dracula together 'and not alone' for Sonia to warn them about doing it was a bad idea.

"No! We won't let you get away with this!" Rukia goes charging in.

"Ah, Rukia!" Kon tries to help her out. "Don't do it!"

"Stop!" same with Chad.

Bad move there…! As Rukia tries using her ice powers mix with her Zanpakto, Kon to try kicking Dracula, and Chad to punch him…his eyes glows up to make one wind to blow by pushing the three aside within seconds to go down to feel weak for they couldn't fight anymore! Wow! Good thing Ichigo's body was already to have Kon to feel the pain all over still. One hit to go down from this powerful monster! Not good to make Renji more upset to have Rukia get hurt, Uryu and Hayame were horrified like Ichigo and Sonia were the same thing; and the same with Orihime to be shock from this nightmare to really be happening.

"No…Rukia! Chad! Kon!"

Renji goes after Dracula next to be using his Zanpakto.

"Why you…! Roar! Zabimaru!" he said while trying to strike Dracula down. "You'll pay for this...for my friends you've hurt and Rukia!"

As Dracula uses that move again for Orihime runs in to try shielding Renji, he just grabs Renji's weapon to electrocute his entire body to go down and hitting Orihime to the neck to go out cold next with one chop to still be breathing.

"Orihime! Renji!" Ichigo was horrified to have trouble getting up to try fighting on. "Leave them alone, you monster…!"

"No!" same with Sonia.

With Alucard removing Sonia's whip to keep her on hold, Dracula stops to see an arrow to try stopping him. Almost…Uryu steps in for him and Hayame to throw some feathers near Alucard, Richard, and Chainsaw Killer to stop them from doing anything else.

"Oh right, I forgot about you two lovers…"

When Dracula sees them, looks like both Uryu and Hayame can still fight a little.

"Alucard…If there's one thing I find annoying to hate between Soul Reapers and Ichigo, are traitors like yourself. We trust in you! And now look what you have done!" he said in anger to get ready for another arrow to use. "I will never forgive you for this!"

Hayame joins in with her boyfriend to try wining this battle the best they could…

"For once, I agree with Uryu." said Hayame to point out to Alucard. "We will save Richard as soon as we stop Alucard first, save Sonia, ourselves, stop Dracula, and his giant friend! Let's go!"

Wow, their love was strong to keep Uryu and Hayame going. Alucard will do what it takes to aid his father.

"Great…" said Alucard. "Father, what shall we do?"

Dracula gives his son an order to do and Richard while Chainsaw Killer stays put.

"Alucard, leave that girl to me. Both you and Richard just restrain them."

The two men understood their tasks…

"And orange hair boy?" ask mind controlled Richard.

"Leave him to me also." he said. "Remember, no killing please because either way I will do it when the time's right once I change the world real soon."

The two bows down to Dracula.

"Of course, Father. Richard, back me up." said Alucard.

Alucard and Richard do as they're told for them to take on Uryu and Hayame to be ready for them. As Ichigo helps Sonia to be push back and sees her brother and her friend working for her enemy, she felt really upset to do anything at all.

"Big Brother, stop this! Alucard, why are you doing this to us?" she said in sadness.

"You okay, Sonia?" Ichigo checks on his friend.

Ichigo's a good friend to protect those who are dear to him 'or strangers who are good people', to not be in a bad mess to be trapped in. For Uryu and Hayame worked together to stop Alucard and Richard, but they were both fast to get shoot at or clawed down; for Richard to be fast to use any dark magic than the Belmont uses their weapons instead and the same whip to be cutting things down in seconds. While Alucard uses his sword or fire to electric skills to not get hurt against the two lovers. Back and forth to be happening, that's all I can say, for Yoruichi sees the rest…allowing for Dracula to take care of Ichigo on his own and wanted something from Sonia the most as he approaches to them by walking slowly towards them.

"From four humans with special powers, one special Quincy, two unknown children, four Modsouls, five Soul Reapers, with one half breed with some human and Hollow from within you, boy…and Sonia Belmont herself. One of the Belmonts to try slaying me to be very rare to have besides Trevor himself and the rest to Richard who's now under my powers to have his little sister trap thanks to Alucard to be working behind all your backs. So sad, isn't it?"

Dracula tries touching Sonia to be confused and scared, for Ichigo keeps her behind him to protect her.

"Stay back!"

"I don't think you'll have enough strength left to stop me…" Dracula ignores Ichigo to say something to Sonia next. "Sonia, I'm in love with you."

What?! So gross! And Alucard was all right with all of this to be really happening?! Not good…for Hayame to hear for Richard to start using some dark water to go down for Uryu to aid his girlfriend…giving Alucard a chance to strike him in seconds from the fires to burn up his entire body. No!

"Hayame!" Uryu shields Hayame's body from Alucard and Richard's double counter attack. "I got you!"

Not good…! Uryu was getting beaten up badly. Even more than Hayame to see him be in pain.

"No Uryu!" she tries flying a few inches away from them. "Stop! Can't you see he has enough?! Don't kill him, Alucard…!"

Alucard stops Richard for their job was already down for Uryu and Hayame couldn't fight back to be burn and cut down to see the rest like Yoruichi was.

"Done." said Richard. "Alucard."

"Yes, we'll wait with Chainsaw until my Father's done now."

For Ichigo to see Uryu and Hayame were out to still be standing, it was for the best for them not to get hurt anymore, or things would get worse. As the three bad guys watched the rest and the other three heard of Dracula confessing of his love for Sonia, she and Ichigo were freaking out from all of this. So out of all the girls, he chose his enemies of the Belmonts to pick Sonia out of the rest…

"Love…Love me?" surprised Sonia to find that part wrong and to be grossed out. "You, Dracula, are in love with me? Sick! I find you to be a rotten person in this world who I wish for you to be dead!"

"And I love you for that." said Dracula to be smiling in a wicked way.

Trying to use her attack of whipping to be burn up by Dracula's touch and the cross to holy water had no effect on him, or anything else to get stabbed by a throwing knife was nothing to him. Moving up closer to Sonia, he removes the gem which keeps her in the outfit for Dracula to crush it to lose all of her weapons, whip, and armor to be a wearing type of clothes now, and she was weak to do anything else.

"Did Dracula just destroyed Sonia's weapons and armor power…?" shock Yoruichi. "(At this rate, none of us don't stand a chance. This might be in the end of everything!)"

Well, none of us don't want that to happen at all! Of course, for Ichigo to have his Zanpakto up 'only to have the Belmont powers of his to run out for now' to try saving his life. All of this to protect his friends and Sonia from the likes of Dracula.

"Stop it!" he was mad now. "Leave Sonia alone…! Once I stop you, Dracula, your son will be next who used all of us…Along with Richard to beat the crap out of him to be saved and your Frankenstein freak will go down next!"

"Ichigo…! Don't… (Ah, man…He can still fight. But I don't know how much power he has left in his body.)" said Sonia to be worried about Ichigo's condition.

She was right…Can Ichigo withstand against Dracula on his own with little strength he has left? Only for him to try beating Dracula, but he finds him to be a joke.

"Oh, I'm so scared. A weak Soul Reaper thinks he will stop me on his own? Even with his new special Belmont you and your human friends have, it still won't stop me." Dracula then powers up. "However, I'll show you I mean business to make Sonia mine by teaching you a lesson. So, whenever you're ready…"

Seems like Dracula will fight off against Ichigo for a bit as Sonia, Uryu, Hayame, and Yoruichi watches the whole thing as Alucard, Richard, and Chainsaw Killer wait for their boss 'to know of the outcome to happen soon enough'. For Ichigo goes all out to have his Soul Reaper powers of his Zanpakto of Zangetsu to charge up from Shikai and goes in to Bankai mode.

"Bankai!" he gets it out. "Tensa Zangetsu! Let's go!"

For Ichigo and Dracula clash in battle for a sword to…the King of Darkness himself uses his hands only to create powerful gust of wind that cannot be seen? Not good, just like Jin uses from Yu Yu Hakusho. As Uryu fears the worse to warn his friend about while he was still down and was getting cared by Hayame to stay by his side.

"Ichigo…you fool…don't be a hero…"

From Ichigo swinging and firing his attacks on Dracula to move away and shields himself like it was nothing to him, he then uses some bats to blind Ichigo to come at his quickly to then appearing out of nowhere to freeze up his body with one special move of Dracula's for Ichigo had trouble getting out.

"Fair play, boy, not bad. But still, it's nothing for what I can do like this one to make your body freeze up by using my shadow powers to surround my enemies to weaken them whole like you are now…Now it's time we end this silly battle so have a piece of my next move!" Dracula uses a type of energy whip to type Ichigo's entire body up to squeeze him up like so to then letting it go with one powerful hit. "Don't blink."

One tightness to be release hurts Ichigo to bleed all over his body to scream out in pain 'for Alucard saw that part coming'. No! Shocking to Sonia, Uryu, Hayame, and Yoruichi 'and even for Ichigo himself' he was out to not fight any more for his Bankai form gives out after a hit like that.

"No! Ichigo!" Sonia screams in pain.

"What…? What happened?" Hayame was confused. "One minute Dracula was using a move to tighten up Ichigo's body, and then the next…I couldn't tell. It was so fast!"

Dracula then grabs a whole of Ichigo by the neck to do something else next unless he gets something from Sonia to spare his life, or watch him die before her eyes.

"Now then, boy, I might have to borrow you again. This might hurt a bit…"

He begins to use his hands to stab Ichigo in the chest to hurt him a lot unless he makes Sonia say something that Dracula wants to hear from her.

"Dracula, stop! Can't you see Ichigo has loss?! No more! Let him go!"

"You mean him? I will if you say that you love me." he kept on doing it to poor Ichigo to be in pain. "If you don't, then I'm afraid he will die in seconds if I keep this up."

Not even the other three couldn't do anything about it now. Making a hard choice for Ichigo tries to tell Sonia not to listen to Dracula and for her to cry in tears for so many things to be happening today, she goes down on her knees to say it by force.

"(Ichigo…) I love…love…you…Dracula…" said Sonia quietly.

"Hmm…Could you repeat that again, my dear? Sorry, I couldn't hear you from this boy's screams." Dracula stabs Ichigo much deeper. "Again please."

No, Ichigo! It was so hard to see him in pain like this and finally Sonia said it even louder now.

"I said...I love you, Dracula!" she said it to be crying. "(Ichigo, I'm sorry…it's up to you and your friends to stop him as well as, Alucard, save Richard, and save my people now. I can't fight no more.)"

"Sonia…"

Ichigo didn't like on what Sonia just said…For Dracula to let Ichigo down now to walk over to Sonia next since now she was finally his to have by force. Gross! For a vampire like him to grab hold of Sonia to have his hands on her face and waist was so mess up.

"Good, good. Yes, I've chosen the right woman for me to help me rule the world forever. So lovely…" he kisses Sonia on the neck. "And for your kind words…I must make sure you stay mine with one simple bite mark!" Dracula bites down on Sonia's neck to become a vampire slave like Richard was to only be his bride. "There we go."

The other four were horrified to see what just happened to Sonia…

"Sonia!" shock Uryu, Hayame, and Yoruichi.

"What the hell have you done to her?!" Ichigo demanded to know while he was still in pain.

From Sonia feeling cold and weak, her body was changing a little to have the curse mark of Dracula's to be his now for only by killing him will break the curse for her and Richard. But they can't!

"Simple…I've planted the fangs of my curse within Sonia's blood veins now to become a vampire like me…slowly she will like what I've done to her brother to be my servant in battle. Once bitten, you are living creature cannot break the smell to feast on blood, murder anyone, and have the powers of a real vampire just like me to do what it takes to spread further throughout the world, unless a will power can happen to hold it off can be painful for only I can stop it or by trying to kill me is another thing. So it won't matter if you try to escape from me, Sonia Belmont, I will find you somehow for your curse will lead me to you wherever you may go to soon marry me and allow me to change this world like your powers. You're far more than a Belmont member or a Soul Reaper, I knew you have to belong to me when I first lay eyes on you and I was right." he approaches to Sonia again. "Now my dear, come to me-!"

"No…! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

For Sonia to be screaming out and then disappears out of nowhere for Dracula to miss his chance to have her. For him, Richard, Alucard, and Chainsaw Killer have loss sight of her to be gone, even from this world. Huh?

"She's gone." said Richard.

"Father?"

Dracula puts his hands up to tell Alucard and the other two that everything would be fine to feel out that Sonia was still around from the curse he has given to her.

"It's fine. She's out there somewhere…Let her be for now. Let us return to the castle, for we shall see her friends to stopping them all again real soon. Other plans must be done." said the vampire king.

Chainsaw Killer, Richard, and Alucard understood to follow Dracula to leave the ruined building for good to leave the others to be upset and such to have Sonia to leave out of nowhere.

"Yes, father." said Alucard to see Ichigo, Hayame, Uryu, and Yoruichi once more. "Good-bye, friends."

What was up with Alucard joining on bad guy's side? Not good for Dracula to leave to have his victory to be a sweet one so far and more to come along.

"Enjoy your defeat in this first battle, boy, along with your friends too. But the war is far from over for Sonia will still be mine. So this is one victory for me. Farewell for now." he laughs on his way out.

And so, Dracula, Alucard, Richard, and Chainsaw Killer take off for they've won this battle for tonight; for no one was killed but Sonia went missing. Was she dead? For Hayame to be upset for Sonia to be gone and hugs Uryu to feel ashamed for losing, and Ichigo was a mess to try calling out to Sonia with his hand reaching out to where Sonia was once standing at.

"(Sonia…what happened? Where are you? Please don't be dead…!)" he was crying to remember the good to bad times he had with Sonia Belmont to have images of her from every flashback. "(Sonia…Sonia…! Sonia! SONIA!)" Ichigo got so bad to get up a little to start cutting the windows down for all the glasses a lot to let out his anger and sadness of the loss of Sonia to fail her 'part of Ichigo's code of honor', after doing all of this from screaming in anger, he then falls to be crying.

How sad…For Hayame gets up to aid Uryu on the battle they've all loss. The two help the others out first while giving Ichigo some space to let out the sorrow for they had to tell the others on what happened. As Chad, Orihime, Kon, Urahara, Jinta, Ururu, Tessai, Ririn, Kurodo, and Noba finally come to – they say it to them about what Dracula did and to Sonia. A sad thing to be crying on the loss 'for Kon, Orihime, Hayame, Uryu, and Ichigo were crying a lot more' and the others were upset…I think Tessai, Orihime, and Rukia better start healing them back up at a time and they do little by little to wait until the next fight with Dracula happens…For Uryu to think their enemy was very deadly to be stopped, it was to be a lot more than training to do, they need more help.

"All of this…And we've loss. From one who's brainwash, one traitor, and Sonia…What's for us to do now? (I know how you feel, Ichigo.)"

Tell us about it, Uryu, this was bad. For Ichigo to be sitting in sadness for Orihime to quietly heals him back up for him to have one goal in mind, revenge to stop Alucard and Dracula now to saving Richard and his home world afterwards – for this battle was only the beginning of everything.

"(Dracula…Alucard…I will never forgive neither of you two on what has happened tonight. I swear on my life, I will avenge Sonia to complete with her task.)" he said.

Yep, also something was a bit off. With Sonia gone so was Yoruichi for Hayame to notice. Why was that? For Hayame was the first to discover on her own and for Urahara to know something about it for himself than the others don't. Wait…What?

"Huh? Where's Yoruichi at?" she asked. "What's going on here?"

Good question, what was happening?! Well, something was for Sonia was out cold to still be alive in a or rather the…Senkaimon? She was floating from the World of the Living and into the-? The Soul Society to land down gently near the Seireitei area outside of the Gotei 13 place of all the 13 Court guard Squads live at. For one Soul Reaper to report the issue at hand to have a medic team to carry her to Squad 4 to be recovered right away; a meeting was at foot for Retsu to report to Yamamoto right away for those two, along with Soi Fon, Byakuya, Sajin, Shunsui, Hitsugaya, Kenpachi, Mayuri, and Ukitake to soon learn about Sonia Belmont's arrival to come to their world of the Soul Society somehow without using the gate. How is all of this even possible? Once Retsu described everything to the head captain himself…

"What…? Are you absolutely certain about all of this, Captain Unohana?"

"I am, Head Captain Yamamoto sir." she said calmly. "A human to be half something else from this world of a Soul Reaper too has fallen from the World of the Living and in to our world an hour ago. The one who's aiding the two lieutenants from Squad 13, Rukia as well as Squad 6 and Renji of the Dracula battles. She's alive to have some blood transfer to her right away. Reasons of her showing up is still unknown or who she really is."

For Yamamoto 'from the look on his face', he already knows all about Sonia herself. Huh? How so?

"(Impossible…I knew something was different from this Belmont girl, but it's true. All of it.)" he was lost in words for the others to see. "I don't believe it!"

"Sir?" all nine of the other captains were lost.

"Everyone, we must keep Sonia Belmont safe and guarded throughout the entire Soul Society!"

Once Yamamoto said that, this comes to a big surprise for everyone else to hear about it for all from captains 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, and 13.

"Treat a human?"

"Oh, my…"

"What for, Head Captain Yamamoto?"

"I find this job to be impossible to do."

"Really?"

"No way!"

"What's the real reason?"

"Old Man Yamamoto-!"

"Enough!" he said to them all. "I meant it, that's an order for the other lieutenants to know about this matter too. It would seem Ichigo needs our help from the battle to soon happen against another Bount who's none other than Count Dracula. He has made his markings on this poor girl...!" Yamamoto was very angry about it. "I won't let him make her into a full vampire!"

Wow…! Seems like Yamamoto was serious for the others to stop questioning him and to listen in now, for Hitsugaya calmly asks him on why Sonia was so important to all of them, even for the old man himself? Now kidding, what gives?

"For give us, sir, we weren't thinking straight." said Hitsugaya. "Just please answer us this question. Is like you know a lot about this Sonia Belmont, why is that?"

He was right, for Yamamoto gives them his answer that changes everything throughout this entire saga for the real deal to happen next, and a lot more to come for the battle and for everyone else to be ready for in both worlds. Yeah, why did Yamamoto care about Sonia Belmont's safety so much? Well, be ready for this big surprise, everyone. He then sighs to say his answer…

"That's because…she is my long-lost niece. The only daughter Sonia Yamamoto who's my late brother's."
