Bleach – The Heart of the Matter
By Tayla Drago
What?! Yamamoto himself has a niece? And it's none other than Sonia Belmont to be half human and Soul Reaper? Not a Belmont? Saying that his brother had a daughter, what happen back then…? The other captains must learn more about this story since Sonia was recovering at Squad 4 right now after getting bitten from Dracula's curse to take over her 'or tries to', leaving the others from the World of the Living of Ichigo to think Sonia was killed. But she was alive and well from the looks of it. Hopefully, Yoruichi will give out her reasons of her being gone as she comes back as a cat; while Ichigo was upset for Chad, Uryu, Orihime, Rukia, Renji, Hayame, Kon, Ririn, Kurodo, and Noba to worry about him more than themselves to be recovering well thanks to Rukia, Orihime, and Tessai's help. Seems like him, Jinta, Ururu, and Urahara know of the mess to let the others know of the good news in a bit. More with them later on…But first let's get back to the Soul Society for Yamamoto has some explaining to do for all the nine other captains. No kidding!
"What?!" Soi Fon was really shock. "But Head Captain Yamamoto…! We never knew you had a niece to begin with!"
"It's true." Retsu show everyone the test results. "Both him and Sonia are related. Surprising, isn't it?"
The papers were right for Sonia was related in the Yamamoto family.
"If that's the case, how did this human arrive in the Soul Society?" ask Byakuya. "No gate was open."
"True, Captain Kuchiki, it wasn't. She had the power to do it. I didn't know about it until today, a very rare power for a half breed of a Soul Reaper has from within them." explained Yamamoto. "Forgive me, everyone, I had reasons why I didn't explain why I had a niece in the first place because I thought she was dead. My brother's only child left in his family after what happened to him and his wife. I wish his three sons would see this if they didn't get departed away from the area to see this day." he then clears his throat. "Now then, allow me explain the story about my brother's life and his youngest child in the family who's name is Sonia Yamamoto…"
Guess I better explain Yamamoto's story…Yamamoto had an older brother to be the head captain of all the 13 Court Guard Squads from long ago to be a proud family member to protect souls and stop Hollows for centuries. That's when one day he spotted a human girl with long blonde hair to have a type of special power for a human like she was; taking her in for the man to fall in love to soon get married and had children together; from three brothers from oldest, middle one, and shortest for them to one day becoming Soul Reapers themselves to be half human too along with the youngest daughter in the Yamamoto family who was none other than Sonia to be half of those things and powers on her mother's side. For Yamamoto was proud of his older brother to be an uncle to his three nephews and one niece.
Years later for Sonia and her three brothers train hard to become Soul Reapers for this girl to do the same thing while having adventures throughout the entire Soul Society to help out others and making friends over time to love this little girl for her mother, father, Yamamoto, and her brothers all love her; things then change when one day a storm happen to make the most powerful rain type of floods to try killing the villagers to drown from their homes for all of the Soul Reapers saves them all with Sonia's help for her brothers…but then she falls in to try holding on to dear life, but couldn't reach her father's hand to be drifted away to they all thought she was dead – but in truth Sonia had the power all along to lose her memories from the Soul Society and goes to the World of the Living to be found by the mayor of the village, Master Keigo Shu, Richard, Maria, and Howey's home to take her in to say she was a Belmont 'to try to protect Sonia by making up a story', only to be adopted by one who was Richard only the last of his kind 'the real one'; since then Sonia grew up becoming a Belmont for the battle against Dracula would happen and it has. So, what happened to Yamamoto's older brother, his three nephews, and the sister-in-law of his during the years to pass afterwards? Not a good one to say the least…
What everyone thought of it too 'even for Yamamoto during the time' thinking that Sonia was dead, it was bad for her father to come down with some type of disease to have a few months to live; only for his three sons to travel as Soul Reapers to become one to protect lives for many of the years alone throughout the Soul Society to have their father pass away years later for his younger brother to take over since then and he still is today. Sad, wasn't it? From one father passing away to happen out of the blue and his sons traveling their own paths, what of the mother you ask? Well, one day she just disappeared for no one nor Yamamoto haven't seen her since then to leave for many years since Sonia was growing up for today it was good news for him to hear about his niece to still be alive. So yeah, on to the part next! And that's the story to tell for the others felt upset after hearing all about it to sound very sad.
"How tragic…" said Sajin.
"Sorry, Old Man Yamamoto. We didn't know." same with Shunsui. "None of us did but now we do."
They all do for all ten of the captains. Yamamoto was happy to know they all finally get it now, it didn't bother with him to tell them everything.
"That's quite all right, everyone…I'm just happy to see Sonia again. A Belmont, I guess this would make sense from the battle they're facing against this Count Dracula." said Yamamoto. "Now do you all understand why you must protect Sonia at all coast while we must face this battle against Dracula and his monsters?"
All of them nodded a 'yes' to understand everything.
"Forgive us, Head Captain Yamamoto." said Hitsugaya. "If that's what you want for us to do for we the captains and lieutenants, then we shall."
"Well, whatever I guess…I wonder how strong this Sonia person is?" question Kenpachi.
"I wish to study upon her myself." said Mayuri.
So much for those two captains, I don't think the others nor Yamamoto or even Ukitake think they should leave Sonia be on this one. Not hurting, experimenting, fighting, or scaring this one.
"Now hold up, Captain Zaraki and Captain Kurotsuchi! No one's fighting or running tests on Sonia! She's one of us, not an animal."
No kidding! You tell them, Ukitake, because either one of them isn't happening…
"Enough!" Yamamoto shouted. "Until Sonia awakens, we'll hold off this meeting for a while with a two-hour break. Once she wakes up, we will welcome her to the Soul Society to stay in for reasons while we also prepare for the battle against Dracula real soon. Now then, you're all dismissed."
They understood Yamamoto to leave the room for the time being 'until Sonia wakes up'. How was she going to handle the surprise and changes she just entered herself in to? And what's worse…how was Sonia going to feel to face against Alucard and her mind controlled brother 'or rather her step-brother' Richard later? So much to handle…Elsewhere at Dracula's hideout of his castle for him to drink some red wine for his victory-he has won since last night a nice one to know he will beat Ichigo and the others to take over the entire world under his control since he has Sonia, Richard, and Alucard in his grasps now. Seeing his enemies looking upset 'to think that Sonia was killed' but she wasn't to make sure he kept his eye on her to still be his to wed soon. Gross!
"Ah, another victory, another wonderful way to show my enemies who I've defeated little by little for the worse was yet to come. That was only a warm up. With Sonia to be mine in another world, her dear brother whose under my spell, and my half breed son who has been working for me all along." he said while drinking. "And yet…I must make sure my next line of monsters to have a little fun, from the World of the Living and where Sonia is at. I might as well prepare for the upcoming fights to be ready for." Dracula calls out for Deku after finishing his drink. "Daku, gather up my best warriors right away."
Daku heard his boss loud and clear to sound the bells to summon the powerful other members to finally show themselves 'besides the three we already know of so far'.
"Of course, Lord Dracula. The bell has been tolled already to all be here in seconds." he said and laughs-like crazy while flying. "What a good win from last night. With those humans outnumbered, we have nothing that will stop us now. What joy!"
"That we do, Daku. Now then…My fellow men and milady, come forth!"
Once Dracula calls out for his other top henchmen 'besides Daku', it begins for Alucard, Richard, and Chainsaw Killer show themselves as they join in a line – from Succubus, Shaft, and Death. And with the other top and stronger monsters to be in the background, they are the bosses from the Symphony of the Night video game thing with some of them from 64 and such for the leftovers…For you will all soon see later on. Now for the introduction as Deku to show and tell for his master Dracula.
"Here they are…A giant hand-made monster who cuts any living thing in half with a chainsaw as his weapon, the Chainsaw Killer. A beautiful female creature with a deadly power to suck your soul with her lust, Succubus. Deadly wizard of dark magic to make anything happen with one touch, Shaft. Once a proud Belmont member who's our enemy, but with Richard Belmont trap it's fine by us thanks to it, and thanks to a little friend of ours…the half human and half vampire to once been against his own father who now works for us after he was awaken today for a whole new world to not be mess with, Alucard. The deadly Grim Reaper around to make anything happen for our lord himself, Death. And finally, me…Deku, the smartest Vampire Bat who has gathered data and reports it all by using my own magic." said Daku. "We are all here as you commanded, Lord Dracula."
Soon Daku and the rest of the gang bow to their lord to do whatever it takes for Dracula to have it all.
"Good, good…It's been a while, everyone. Sorry to keep you waiting for most of you, but I believe you already know what's going on so far, correct?" he asked each of them.
For Chainsaw Killer did by making some noises from his weapon for him to understand and Richard to get it loud and clear.
"Way ahead of you, Lord Dracula…"
"I'm still amazed that you, Alucard, went through so much trouble to betray with the enemy to join us. We knew all along. Or rather, both Lord Dracula and I knew this day would come." said Shaft. "Revenge for your human mother is pointless to do after all and you finally see the light…or rather the dark side of that to let things go."
Alucard had his other reasons than one to use his sword to move fast when swinging it around.
"Believe what you want, Shaft, but I got my own reasons for me to join with all of you and mine alone." he said to be looking at his former friends. "I chose this new life for a better world so we would have an equal right to know on who lives or dies, good or evil at long last with Father pulling the strings. Our enemies…they mean nothing to me, for the villagers, Maria, nor Sonia mean nothing to me either."
For the other monsters laughed like Daku did and so was Succubus to enjoy her fun moments to love Dracula a lot 'like she was really in love with her boss for him to not care about her'. Even with a good look, it means nothing to him to love Sonia only.
"Looks like we made someone mad." she said to be attracted to the other male monsters but Alucard and Dracula. "I hope your own son doesn't bested you at the slightest, Lord Dracula."
"Not likely…" Death said to show his weapon off next. "I sense things from the others, and if Alucard was using us, I would've have his head in seconds, but I felt no such thing. I've seen far worse betrayals than a spy for another. In other words, no one likes to tell about it in the end thanks to your truly."
Guess Death means business to serve Dracula to find a traitor if he did to kill anyone earlier of their time in seconds with one touch or cut from his scythe. Yep, he meant it. For Dracula reports to them on the latest news on what's to come next and/or what to do before his real goal could happen.
"That we do, Death." said the King of Darkness himself. "Now then…all of you listen, my top warriors and other monsters alike! I've summon you all here to prepare on the fight we shall finally complete after many long centuries to make it in to reality of my own world order. However, the boy known as Ichigo Kurosaki with his human friends, Modsouls, a Quincy, and some of the other Soul Reapers are in our way. So…some of you will go to their world to cause some trouble to stop them while I watch. Alucard, Chainsaw, Shaft, and Death will stay with me until we can soon strike again when I say so. The rest of you monsters, don't let your other kind nor the seven other soldiers' deaths be for nothing! Go seek out Sonia Belmont, but capture her alive if you must in this Soul Society world she has entered in right now. Deku will send each of you out little at a time by my command as he, Succubus, and Richard will back him up if there are some…difficulties to come about. That is it for now, and to those who stand in our way who means nothing then you have my permission to end their miserable lives in seconds. Are we clear?"
Once Dracula said those orders – the seven warriors and the other monsters said it loud and clear on each of their end saying 'sir, yes sir' type of thing or something to get the point. Chainsaw Killer heard it just fine. So did Richard, Shaft, Death, Succubus, Daku, and Alucard…all of it.
"When you are ready, Lord Dracula, we will strike."
"As you command."
"What fun this will all be to finally win this war."
"I can't wait, how lovely…"
"Yes, Lord Dracula!"
"Whatever it takes to make a new world, then yes Father." said Alucard. "Some sacrifices are meant to be made sometimes."
Not good…Soon enough, Dracula leaves the rest to them as he watches on back from the World of the Living the most, while Daku does the same for the Soul Society through a crystal ball.
"Good. And yes, Alucard, we will make this whole world better real soon. Now then, that is all for now until I give another command in the mid future. You may carry out the rest of the task on standby. Keep your strength active…" he said to go somewhere for now. "Dismiss."
With Dracula having a walk around his castle alone, the others dismiss for now to carry out some of the task to do right away. For Alucard to look at Richard, the other monsters, Dracula, and his men for something was really on his mind for his reasons to join his father's side from which had something to do besides avenging his human mother Lisa, so what was it? Anyways, we get back to the Soul Society…As Sonia wakes up to remember battling Dracula and his monsters with Ichigo and his friends even from last night to make things worse – her step brother Richard was mind controlled by his own enemy, Alucard's betrayal, and her to get bitten by Dracula's bite to become his bride. Seeing a flash of light afterwards, she wakes up to dream about the rest as she remembers it all 'good thing she didn't lose her memories but sadly her Belmont powers were all gone'. Waking up to be in Squad 4's place in the medic room to be confused to see everything around her, Sonia then falls out of the bed to start panicking.
"(Huh? What…? What's going on? Where am I?)" she remembers what happened from last night to hurt her so much and the bite mark on her neck. "(Dracula has cursed me, Alucard's been working for his own father against us, and Richard…why did he become a vampire…? Where's Ichigo?)" Sonia was a bit weak to walk around to try finding the others down the hallways. "Hello? Ichigo? Ichigo?! (He was hurt by Dracula, so why can't I find him?) Rukia? Renji? Orihime? Chad, Uryu? Hayame? Kon? Urahara? Yoruichi? Anyone?" Sonia makes her way outside to see she wasn't on Earth anymore. "Where is everybody?" she then looked at herself in a mirror to be wearing a white komodo to dress differently. "Ah! Why am I in a weird world of feudal Japan while wearing a Gisha outfit?!"
Just then, a Soul Reaper spotted Sonia to try to help her out…
"Oh, yes you! Sonia! You've awaken! Come with me." he approaches to her. "I have orders to bring you to the 13 Court Guard Squad. You must be still weak, let me aid you."
Only for Sonia to be freaking out to make a run for it for the Soul Reaper to try catching her to help out, not to hurt her for she doesn't know what's going on yet.
"(Oh, no…!)" she runs away. "Stay away from me!"
"Ah!" he follows Sonia. "Come back! You're still too weak to move around!"
"I don't know where I am, I only know two other Soul Reapers are like Rukia Renji! Don't hurt me!" Sonia said while running away.
Hard for one Soul Reaper to aid Sonia alone for he gets his Hell Butterfly to relay a message to help him help Sonia before she hurts herself for the random ones to make their way to the area. Oh, boy…An odd chasing scene.
"Back up! I need back up now! The human and Soul Reaper Sonia is on the loose to might be hurt! Please for any Soul Reapers out there, come and assist me! And whatever you do, don't hurt her, Sonia is just scared!"
For Sonia to try running while still feeling weak against the pain she was in and was both scared and confused, lots of other Soul Reapers try to chase as they try calming her down was hard enough…the other captains and lieutenants join in as well to have Sonia to keep her from moving around so much – from top, bottom, above, underneath, around, and such was a silly chase for them as Sonia was too good to outsmart all of them in seconds, to even tired them all out. Trying to hide from all of them by hiding between the walls to crawl through to make her way out of the area to wherever she could go to next. Still feeling weak from what she's been through and from the bite mark, poor Sonia didn't know what she could do to fall on her knees to hate the feeling to be very painful – the curse of Dracula's mark was only the beginning from half of her blood to get drained to become under his control.
"(Ouch...my head really hurts…)" she said to try getting back up. "What's wrong with me?"
Trying to make a run for it again, for it was Jushiro Ukitake himself! Ukitake appears to bump in to Sonia to fall again and scared to see someone else who has found her. For him to approach to Sonia calmly and slowly with a smile on his face.
"Oh. There you are, Sonia. I'm guess I've found you first. Sorry we gave you such a scared."
"Ah, get back!" Sonia move backwards away from Ukitake.
I hope he can try calming her down so Sonia won't hurt herself from falling from a river bank in the area to be off the edge from behind. She then falls into the waters as she was getting wash away.
"Oh, no!" he jumps in to save Sonia. "I'm coming!" Ukitake does his best to swim to Sonia to reach out to her while holding on to something for the two tries to not to be wash away. "Sonia! Grab my hand! Please! You'll drown!"
Ukitake was ricking it all from the running river streams to save Sonia's life. Seeing the new world she was in was all right to have different Soul Reapers than Rukia, Renji, Urahara, Yoruichi, and Tessai were to see so much more. Holding on to dear life, she reaches her hand out to him for Ukitake to take it and pulls Sonia out of safety and back on solid ground. He saved her life! Cool!
"Wow…You saved me."
Ukitake could only do 'while he was wet' was to place his hand on Sonia's to be smiling for doing of all the rescuing.
"Good, I'm happy to see you safe and sound. Welcome to the Soul Society." he said to be aiding by her back on Ukitake's feet.
For Sonia heard so much about the place she was in right now to be real and to believe in it now like she told her other friends about her mission. From Ichigo, Rukia, Renji, Kon, Uryu, Orihime, Chad, Yoruichi, Ririn, Kurodo, Noba, Tessai, and Urahara's words were all true about where the Soul Reapers live and do in their line of work. Seeing the entire place so far, it was no dream to be a reality 'it was real'.
"So, this is the Soul Society Rukia and Renji both told me so much about. Same with Ichigo and the others including both Urahara and Yoruichi…" she was amazed. "I don't know how I got here, but this is incredible."
"Oh, you know Rukia?" ask Ukitake. "She's my lieutenant in Squad 13. Sorry, I'm her captain. I know a lot about her and the friends she has made from the World of Living."
This surprises Sonia when Ukitake told her and only to be left speechless on the whole thing to trust in him…Soon his other two lieutenants arrive from that squad rushes over to check on their captain 'to worry about him due to Ukitake's condition' Sentarō Kotsubaki and Kiyone Kotetsu. They fight a lot, for they seem to have a thing for one another deep down.
"Captain! Captain Ukitake!" the two said together.
"Oh, and here are my other lieutenants arriving." he said to help Sonia to carry back. "Here we go. I wish to aid you, you're far too weak to do anything right now. If you like, Sonia, I can accompany you to the 13 Court Guard Squad room."
Aw, he's affording to aid Sonia for help to carry her, cute! Seems like she has no choice now. With Ukitake waving to the two as they approach to their captain to ask so many questions to ask him. A lot of them…From Sentaro and Kiyone.
"Sir, I was so worried about you! Besides being soaked wet, it was all worth it to save this half human and Soul Reaper girl there?"
Sentaro sees Sonia for Kiyone to push him aside to see her next.
"Looks like you did, Captain! Thank goodness you got out of there safely with this girl!"
Soon the two begin to fight at each other again…
"Hey! I was the one who saw this girl first!" said Sentaro. "Quit hogging all of the glory, Kiyone!"
"Back off, Sentaro!" she snapped back. "I was the one who saw both her and our captain aiding her rescue!"
And it keeps on going and going for Ukitake carries Sonia away to take her to the area right away.
"Excuse me, you two, but when you have a chance to clear the area to report the news back, please do. I have to escort Sonia here to the 13 Court Guard Squad area right away." he takes off to keep Sonia happy. "What a first day for you in the Soul Society this turn out to be, you know?"
"Ah…yeah." Sonia just answer back for she was thinking about Alucard from the good times and not the bad ones. "(Wow, he's kind of cute…But still, why did Alucard treated me when we were friends? Oh, Alucard, why have you betrayed us?)"
Nice guy, isn't he? And cute too…for the other Soul Reapers to return for both Sentaro and Kiyone to still be fighting 'and yelling at the rest of them so all was well to continue to fight with each other', all was taken care of now. Will Sentaro and Kiyone ever learn? Maybe, maybe not. Who knows! Well, seems now Sonia will get a warm welcome to the Soul Society from the other Soul Reapers on what's to come for her next…Now we get back to the World of the Living for Urahara to hear the news from some help for him to gather Tessai, Jinta, Ururu, Ririn, Kurodo, Noba, Uryu, Hayame, Orihime, Rukia, Renji, Chad, Kon, and Ichigo together at his shop place to tell them something 'since they're all healed up now' for Ichigo was still down as he feels like he's still in the dumps to be unable to do anything about Sonia who was gone, 'or so he thought'. Tessai tells Urahara of the others arrival.
"Mr. Kisuke, they're here."
Ririn gets everything set up for she tells both Kurodo and Noba to work faster as they try to make the place nice and neat.
"Hey! They're coming so look nice!" she said.
The two-finish cleaning up in seconds now for Kurodo and Noba.
"All done!"
"Me too…"
Those three Modsouls can do a lot more than sensing things like Bounts and fighting with skills in their Gigais 'and maybe Kon can'. For Urahara hears the news to come out from the other room to greet everyone.
"Ururu. Jinta. Has Yoruichi come back yet?"
Once he asks them a question, she was for the two to answer back to their boss of the good news.
"She's back in our world now, Boss." said Jinta.
"So whenever you're ready, they're all here." same with Ururu.
And for the rest to show up for no one 'from Chad, Hayame with Uryu, Rukia with Kon, Renji, or Orihime couldn't cheer Ichigo up since yesterday' for none of them like him to be this sad; for none of them don't know about Sonia was still alive either 'not just yet'. But they will know the rest once Urahara tells them all for him and the others to come out from the other room to say everything.
"Oh, good. I'm glad you've all made it." he said. "How are you guys feeling?" Urahara sees they were all healed but their hearts weren't. "Oh…Right, from last night's battle. We may have loss, but we'll win this war soon enough, right? Dracula won't stop us the next time we see him, right? Anyways, look who's back from the Soul Society with good news." Urahara calls out to her. "Oh, Yoruichi…"
And out from the other door for which Urahara opens up, there she was looking all better now to recover, was Yoruichi herself in her cat form. She was all right!
"Wait, isn't that…?" surprised Orihime.
"It is…" same with Chad.
"It's Yoruichi in her cat form." said Hayame.
"It is her, Hayame, but where was she after the battle from last night when we loss?" questioned Uryu.
"Hmm…It's kinda hard to say." Kon tries to think to ask Rukia and Renji about it. "Do you know? Any of you two…?"
Sadly, both Rukia and Renji didn't know about Yoruichi's whereabouts when she got hurt from Chainsaw Killer to disappear on them when it also happen to Sonia form that moment.
"Sorry, Kon, I don't know."
"Don't look at me."
This made Kon get upset over nothing for not a very good answers he has gotten from them.
"Aaaah! Come on now! Could someone please tell me what the hell happened after the fight with this Yoruichi person and when Sonia was killed?!" Kon demanded to know.
"Relax, everyone. I'm here."
Yep, Yoruichi comes back in her cat form. Why? She was weak to do something to go from the Soul Society for Sonia to then becoming a cat to heal up leaving the others surprise to see her looking well. Still, why does her voice change to a man when in cat form…? I still don't get it.
"Ah! Yoruichi?!" shock Ichigo. "You're okay!"
"About time your attitude has finally changed, Ichigo, I'm fine now. I'm in this form after saving Sonia from using her powers to transfer herself from the World of the Living and in to the Soul Society." she said. "For you all see, she's alive to be recovering with the other Soul Reapers right now at the 13 Court Guard Squads as we speak for me to report on what happen to hear back from her real soon. They'll be aiding us in battle to stop Dracula. So we must plan for the upcoming Dracula wars that's about to happen."
Once Yoruichi said it all and for her to smile about and Urahara…Ichigo's reaction to change to be very shock about it all…
"No way…"
And for the others to be happy even for Urahara's three co-workers with the three Modsouls as well to be cheering with joy to hear that Sonia was still alive.
"Good news, right?" said Urahara.
Soon Rukia was happy to hear about it along with Renji.
"Sonia's okay!"
"Get the hell out…"
Soon Orihime, Chad, Uryu, and Hayame cheer with joy.
"How wonderful!"
"We can still win this war."
"Yes! Yes!" Hayame was cheering to also hug Uryu. "This is wonderful! Isn't it, Uryu?"
He was blushing to be hugged Hayame back to be liking it.
"Wow…I mean-!" he clears his throat. "Yes, it is, Hayame, wonderful news there."
Kon was dancing with joy to hear about Sonia who was still alive and well like everyone else was.
"Oh, yes! She is alive!"
As for Ichigo, he then felt Sonia was fine to leave his world to not feel her out then, now he does to feel like himself to be really happy about it.
"(Sonia…she's alive…she's okay…)" he then let's out a big scream of joy. "Yes!"
One thing remains…what really happen last night? Yoruichi explains to the rest that Sonia was born a human and a Soul Reaper from long ago for Yamamoto was her uncle for his brother was her real father to they all thought to be dead but she wasn't; to be found and raise to think she was a Belmont member to train hard with Richard to stop Dracula to have him under the King of Darkness and Alucard to betray them all. From a life of death move for Sonia had a rare power to make her own portal from the World of the Living to the Soul Society for her powers had saved herself just in time, also allowing for Yoruichi to use her Flash Steps move to go in with her for Urahara to notice. But the others did to see one flash of light. Makes sense. Anyways, she catches Sonia for Yoruichi to help her stop the bleeding in time before landing to get her to the area for the Squad 4 team to recover Sonia to report back as she told them on what happen to get back soon to ask for their help, they would join them. With Yoruichi weak now to leave a note for Sonia and then turning to a cat to go back to the World of the Living alone, she relies this message to all the Soul Reapers – from captains and lieutenants.
"Get this girl to the medical center now!" she said to leave in a hurry. "I need to head on back, learn more about Sonia Belmont who appears to be more than just a human girl of the Belmont family. Also, from her betrayal friend from Alucard is the enemy; and one under Count Dracula's control to have more monsters on his side name Richard Belmont, we're going to need a lot of help. The darkness is coming to all of our worlds."
Afterwards, Yoruichi took off to come back to Urahara to rest up and tell him the whole thing and that left off to right now. And that's what really happened.
"This is great, isn't it Ichigo?" Orihime hugs him a little. "Oh! Sorry…"
"Don't be, Orihime." Ichigo sounded fine now. "I'm okay. If Sonia's getting cared back in the Soul Society, I know we still have a fighting chance to win this war."
And from Orihime smiling with each other else were, time to get down to the real business for more training and more planning to do for the next counter attack would happen.
"Good, now that part's been taken care of we still have more planning to do for Sonia until we go to the Soul Society to lead the monsters there." he said.
"Does that mean…?" as Renji.
"It does, we need to train some more to go somewhere in a few weeks to ask for some help."
Once Urahara talks about the next plan in mind, the others was left confused. Good thing they were continuing to stop Dracula, but what's more for them to do?
"Wait…" Rukia gets it now. "I understand the Soul Society's willing to help us out, but also a lot more back in the…"
"That's right, with in a few weeks all of us are going to the Belmont Village located deeper in the woods." Yoruichi says the rest. "Team Ichigo to aid the Belmont clan to help out Sonia and her step-brother, we have a chance of winning this fight yet and ending the Dracula's curse once and for all. We will have other fighters to join us. Now answer me this…are all of you in?"
For Yoruichi to ask that question…Urahara, Tessai, Jinta, Ururu, Ririn, Kurodo, and Noba were still in. And what about the others? Uryu, Hayame, Chad, Orihime, Rukia, Renji...
"Don't forget about me!"
Of course, Kon as well and last to be Ichigo, they were all in to continue on with their training, get more people to join in, save Richard, stop Dracula with his monsters and Alucard too, see Sonia again, and save all the worlds from the curse to be stopped for good. I guess the whole gang's back in business to be ready for anything else the next time. And within a few weeks, they will all be heading out to the Belmont Village as well for more people to join in and a lot more training to do, lots of it!
"Yoruichi, you can count us all in." said Ichigo. "We will beat Dracula after he tried to do to us and to Sonia with Richard! I won't lose to the likes of him the next time we meet, I will protect everyone from anymore monster attack. We'll all end this battle as a team."
That we will, Ichigo, both he and the others will do so. For a brand, new chapter was only the beginning. Good to have our good old hero Ichigo Kurosaki back as the tough Substitute Soul Reaper type of hero. And for his friends to see him happy again to keep on going, that's all that matters the most. Hopefully to hear the next planning to be more about it, Sonia gets to see the other Soul Reapers for the ten captains to introduce themselves to her, explain everything, and explore a whole new world she was in now. More to come next time. 😊
