Bleach – The Heart of the Matter
By Tayla Drago
Previously on Bleach, what an epic of danger that was to be going on! Allow me to make a list to explain it better:
Dracula and his army invaded the entire Belmont Village to destroy their magical barrier
Uryu and Hayame fought against a Female Vampire, only to get out matched against Chainsaw Killer to be hiding
Deku summons his other Vampire Bats 'and to those who are male to female vampires' to feast on the humans
Almost the entire World of the Living is covered in darkness to make the demons more powerful to roam freely
Death cuts Yoruichi to go down and to be close to dying
Shaft imprisons the Mayor, the villagers, the entire area of Japan, Ichigo, Orihime, Chad, Renji, Rukia, Kon, Ririn, Kurodo, Noba, Urahara, Tessai. Jinta, Ururu, Maria, and Howey with his crystal-like statue spells
Dracula having Wicked as his Bount Doll to use it on Ichigo and Master Keigo Shu
Shu uses one lest attack to allow Yoruichi to save the others with George at the Master Liberian to save them to turn small – saving their lives
Yoruichi, Uryu, Hayame, George 'as the Master Liberian', and Ferio 'as the Ferryman' barely escaped to the Soul Society in time 'with Ganju, Kukaku, and Jidanbo to find them'
Shu died after that for Dracula, Shaft, Death, Deku, Chainsaw Killer, and Wicked return back to their hideout
Shaft soon makes his spell bigger to rule everything of planet Earth to be covered and take over real soon while making their move to the Soul Society was next to gather souls and blood while still capturing Sonia Yamamoto/Belmont
Alucard was on to his father to soon put a stop him 'and so was Rosa too '
And...that's it, to make the long story short, sort of...For Sonia to sense this all out from the other side 'to also react to her curse mark to glow', she was horrified to see her friends crystallizes and trapped, but still alive to have trouble getting them out; while the other five came here to be injured. Breaking down as Rangiku, Momo, Kiyone, Yachiru, Hisagi, Ikkaku, Yumichika, Izuru, and Sentaro get the news from their Hell Butterflies' same with the other Soul Reapers to get Rukia's last report before turning all crystallize. A sad defeat to come up with plan 'b' next due to Team Ichigo members were out for the count. The same with Richard Belmont to still be resting up. But still, this is not good leaving Sonia's friends to worry about her condition to come this far and her friends to be in danger.
"No...Ichigo...Maria...Everyone...They are trapped from Shaft's dark magic...Uryu, Hayame, Yoruichi, Ferio, and George got hurt because of him and Dracula attack the village...and Master Shu's dead...!" said the upset Sonia. "Half the village and Karakura Town are frozen with vampires of all kinds to be roaming free! Why are you doing this, Dracula?! Is having me to also hurting Big Brother was bad nothing? DRAAAAAAAAAAAAAACULA!"
From the bad news and such for Sonia to take in so much, something happens...her curse mark couldn't hold back to weaken the body to spread almost all over while her friends try to aid Sonia's time of need.
"It's going to be okay, Sonia, we're here for you. Momo, Hisagi, and I are worried about Rukia and Renji too." said Izuru. "You're not the only one who's upset."
Kiwi flies around to see his master was not feeling so well to make his small hair to stand up to sense out danger.
"Sonia, Kiwi's here! Me sense danger on other friends..." he soon felt something was up. "Sonia...?"
"It'll be okay, Kiwi, we won't leave her side." Rangiku said.
Sonia's spirit energy soon rises up to turn from some blue color and in to a darker one due to Dracula's curse.
"You're not alone, Ms. Sonia, we got you...Sonia?" Momo sees that something was very wrong. "You guys, something's wrong with Ms. Sonia...Look!"
The nine of them and Kiwi sees Sonia's curse taking over her body to slowly turn a vampire to become Dracula's bride. No! Making the others worry for this form was painful to see 'and on Sonia the most', Ikkaku and Yumichika didn't want to see their true love becoming evil to try to do something.
"Sonia, my love! No! I won't let that bastard Dracula take you away from me!"
"Or to the beautiful me as you are too, Sonia! I'll save you!"
The two men stop to look at each other to be fighting over Sonia's love again 'at the worse time to be going on'.
"Hey, Yumichika, the hell? I'm going to marry Sonia, not you!" argue Ikkaku.
"As if, Ikkaku, you're too UGLY! I'll be the one who'll marry Sonia instead." Yumichika said back.
The two stared at each other all because they were in love with the same girl.
"Why you-!"
"Say that again!"
Soon Kiyone and Sentaro try to run up to Sonia to try saving her at the same time.
"Sonia!" they trip on each other to argue.
Again, worse timing to be fighting here...
"Kiyone, you idiot! You made me fell to make fun of me again, didn't you?!" said the angry Sentaro.
"I think you did that to me, Sentaro! And it hurt, you almost broke my nose!" the same with Kiyone.
With them growling at each other, those two will never learn...Not now, Sentaro and Kiyone! Sonia then shows her skin, eyes, and teeth to be changing a little 'while the two guys fight were going on with four people' for the others to fear of Sonia Yamamoto/Belmont becoming a full vampire. Someone do something! Yachiru steps on Ikkaku and Yumichika's faces to stop them as Kiwi pushes the two men away little by little.
"Stop it! Sonny's not well, remember?!" she points out. "Look. She's changing!"
"Red alert...!" Kiwi panics.
Even Hisagi and Izuru had to keep Kiyone and Sentaro separated from each other.
"Stop it, you two!" said Hisagi.
"Can't you see that Sonia's affected by the curse because of the sadness and anger she's in?!" same with Izuru.
At least they stop fighting to worry about Sonia to look like she was about to attack them...but the spell from the necklace and Mayuri's item slows her down, allowing Sonia to still be herself to fight back with everything she has. She wasn't going to become Dracula's bride from the curse or become a vampire at all!
"No! (I won't turn against my family, friends, Kiwi, or Jushiro...I won't let it take over me...!)" Sonia fights back to use her Zanpakto blade to cut her hand a little to stop the power to fade away. "Damn you vampire...Get out of my body! I won't become your bride, Dracula, do you hear me?! (Never!)" the curse bypass through Sonia's body in time to feel happy again. "Yes! (Ah, man...that worn me out, but...it was worth it...)"
Not a deep cut that was, but it was enough to let out an energy for Sonia to still be herself again and got rid of the vampire in time. That was way too close there...! I mean, really too close on that part it was almost scary. For her to pass out next for her friends to worry and Kiwi, as both Momo and Rangiku catches her from falling down.
"Oh, no! Ms. Sonia!" Momo was scared of losing her friend. "Please be okay...Don't leave me..."
For Rangiku and Kiwi check to hear Sonia...and she was still breathing normal for her curse to calm down once her necklace and item recovers her body after that came and went, painful but she was still her real self. This made Kiwi very happy to hear to be dancing around.
"Sonia okay! She's going to be okay!"
"Momo, there's no need to worry. Sonia will be fine." said Rangiku. "She's still breathing. Let's bring her back to the Seireitei right away. All lieutenants and captains have to be in a meeting soon with some backup to arrive. From the Shiba Clan and Jidanbo to carry the five injured people and the others to do something with the whole crystal thing."
It says so from the Hell butterfly that Rangiku was getting on what it says for the Soul Reaper to translate. But Momo was happy to hear the news about her best friend to cry with tears of joy.
"Oh, thank goodness..."
Rangiku then carries Sonia back to the Thirteen Court Guard Squad right away.
"Come on, let's take Sonia back for treatment and find out what really happened. Let's go!" she tells everyone. "(Hang in there, Sonia, you're going to make it.)"
Good idea there, for Kiwi stays by his friend/master's side as Rangiku carries Sonia back to the Sereitei area for Hisagi, Izuru, Ikkaku, and Yumichika. For both Kiyone and Sentaro to get very serious now and started to worry about their friend/lieutenant partner too.
"You'll be okay, Sonia." he said.
"We'll be right behind you, Sonia." she said too.
A bit too close to keep Sonia company like that, Sentaro and Kiyone...way too close...As Momo follows everyone else from behind to worry about her friend, so was Yachiru to try cheering her up with her child-like words. For she knows like her captain Kenpachi to put up a lot of pain in battle, Sonia can make it through the curse until she has a cure.
"Don't you worry your little head, Momo-Chan, Sonny will make it. Takes more than that dumb Dracula's curse to take our best friend down." said Yachiru. "I can feel it. Something from her body is fighting back from the bad thing with the good."
If Yachiru's silliness knows about one thing about knowing others, she can sense that no one will die in seconds, or at all. For she was smart and brave to keep on smiling. For Momo to feel it out to walk next to Sonia 'while Rangiku was carrying her', there was hope left.
"(Yachiru's right...No way Ms. Sonia would go out like this. We're here for her, like she is with us. My friend."
With Momo holding Sonia's hands, all was good 'so far'. As the nine Soul Reapers helped out Sonia while Kiwi kept her company to get back to the Sereitei area where Jidanbo let's Ganju and Kukaku go inside the Thirteen Court Guard Squad place 'while Bonnie, the other four of the wild pigs, Kenji Yamashita "Top", Mitsuru Ishino "Fever", Sadatomo Saionji "Dumbell", Taichi Miyamoto "Hawk", and Koganehiko and Shiroganehiko 'or I call them Ko And Shi for short' waited for the two from the outside of the place until further notice since they move the Shiba house near the area once again, a bit further to walk there to say the least for others to see that from afar! Yep...That type of thing. For the captains and lieutenants to have each of their own meetings were about to begin on the out come – since Uryu, Hayame, George, Ferio, and Yoruichi 'who was hurt the most' were all treated at Squad Four right away; the other fifteen ones who are trapped from Shaft's cursed was carefully taken care of thanks to the Research and Development's doing. Arriving to the gate for Sonia Kukaku and Ganju to go in there first, Soi Fon rushes outside of it to be by Yoruichi's side for her men and Omaeda couldn't stop her feeling upset to see her idol getting badly hurt in battle.
"Who's there?" question Jidanbo to see who it was. "Oh, Captain Soi Fon from Squad Two of the Stealth Force, you look upset."
"Soi Fon?" surprised everyone else.
"Strong woman...?" same with Kiwi.
No matter how the other men try to hold Soi Fon back, she kept on going to see Yoruichi's conditions...As Uryu, Hayame, Ferio, and George see Sonia hanging in there, they were lucky to get out of the village alive.
"Captain, you have to stop this!"
"Move it!" Soi Fon throws Omaeda down with one hit to see Yoruichi was out cold to be crying even more. "Sonia..." she worried about her friend too. "Tell me, what's her condition?"
Uryu had to try to answer to Soi Fon the best he could, with Hayame helping her out as well.
"Seems that she's tired, but she'll pull through." he said. "We try to get out only to have Ichigo, our friends, Urahara, Maria, and a few others who are trapped in Shaft's spell. But we'll be fine."
Good news so far for Soi Fon needed to know about Yoruichi next...
"(Good. I'm glad you're going to be fine, Sonia, see to that.) And Lady Yoruichi?" she asked.
For her to still be breathing, it'll be a while like Richard Belmont to recover too as Hayame tries to bring down the bad news.
"(For a place like the Soul Society, it's nice...)" Hayame was a bit amazed to worried about that later. "Ah, you're a captain, Soi Fon, right? Listen, your friend Yoruichi will be fine. She risk herself to try to save us from Dracula who attacked everyone else and the village. Sonia's master was killed in battle, and for her...that monster's powerful goons got the best of her with one hit. She might not fight for a while. I'm sorry."
"We all are." Uryu, Ferio, and George said.
Hard to hear the news from one end to another to see two friends of Soi Fon's out for the other who got hurt the most. Breaking down and crying with tears to not leave Yoruichi's side at all.
"No...! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Lady Yoruichi!"
Sonia comes to a little with her eyes open to see her friend Soi Fon was crying to soon pass out again, only to be sad like she was. Heart breaking, huh? Lucky to have Yoruichi alive and such, but still. Damn...! Death's a beast after what he did to poor Yoruichi like that. And seeing how upsetting it was, Omaeda and the other Stealth Force members walk her back to the Sereitei.
"Come on, Captain, let Lady Yoruichi get treated from Captain Unohana and her men." he said to tell the others something. "And you nine be at the meeting in five minutes. We need those two old men with the captains and you two Ryokas with the other lieutenants like us. So hurry it up. As for Sonia, Lieutenant Hinamori will carry her the rest of the way in, we'll allow it. In case you were wondering...Head Captain Yamamoto told me that you're okay to come in. So, yeah." said Omaeda to get the others to work. "Let's head on back inside now, Captain Soi Fon, this way."
Momo was grateful to bow to that and allows herself inside to carry Sonia the rest of the way in with Kiwi, George, and Ferio to follow them. Well, those two will be just fine to get to the other people who are crystallize in a bit once Mayuri and Nemu do some research real quick, they work very fast.
"Oh! Thank you." she takes off. "I'll catch up with you guys in the bit."
"Please do." said Izuru. "Uryu. Hayame. Those are you names, correct? Ichigo, Renji, and Rukia's friends. Welcome. Well, not a good welcome call, isn't it? Please follow us."
Ans so they do for Jidanbo to continue to guard around as Ganju's gang waited outside – while Uryu and Hayame carefully walked 'after they were heal by the Squad Four members to get bandage up a bit' followed Izuru, Hisagi, Rangiku, Kiyone, Sentaro, Yachiru, Ikkaku, Yumichika in the lieutenants' meeting for Omaeda will be waiting for them once he sees his captain inside the building first. As Uryu and Hayame hold hands to get treated and hopefully to fight again soon to talk to the other Soul Reapers, they were happy to be alive and Hayame's first time in the Soul Society to see Sonia was hanging in there after a long wait to visit their friend again. Just...not at the best time right now.
"Uryu..."
"Yes, you saw Sonia too. She's going to be okay." said the happy Uryu. "That curse must've take a toll on that poor girl. But don't worry, Hayame, we'll fight back to aid our friend in no time."
And for the others? Those two weren't trapped by Shaft's spell to worry about their friends.
"I just hope Ichigo and everyone else will be fine..." she said. "I hope somehow they'll get out of that crystal thing."
Uryu adjust his glasses to have fate no matter what happens next.
"And they will, Hayame, Ichigo always pull through. His skills, his love for Orihime, friendship with us, Chad, Rukia, Renji, Urahara, Yoruichi, and those who are on our side. Richard's pulling through too like we are." said Uryu to hold Hayame close to him. "We're going to be okay. The rest we'll leave to both the Master Liberian and Ferryman to do, only their magic can save them now."
If Uryu was right about it, then Hayame will believe in it as well. They'll break free soon enough to find some way out. As for Maria and Howey, its hard for Sonia to take in and such, and it won't be good when Richard hears about this and Master Keigo Shu's death either. Still, they both need to be strong.
"You're right, Uryu, we'll leave it to them. Let's just get back to business. Also, this place of the Soul Society's amazing."
It is, isn't it?
"Once we save the world, we'll take you on a tour, Hayame." he said.
"Really? I love that idea."
For them to hold each other and to be strong as lovers along this path, Uryu will make sure to use the last of his Quincy powers to stop Dracula for good and to keep Hayame safe too.
"(Damn, that Dracula...! The only things I hate more than Soul Reapers and Kariya was to stop him...I hate that Prince of Darkness the most. He will pay for this, by my word and honor of the last Quincies alive! All for my friends, my Grandfather, and for the woman on who I love.)" he said to himself.
You said it, Uryu. For him to keep his word and Hayame to hang in there, they'll still fight on for Sonia, their friend and with her. And now the two meetings can begin...starting with the captains for Momo carefully places Sonia's body down on something to lie on for her and Kiwi to sit by her side; as Yamamoto, Soi Fon 'to try calming down', Retsu, Byakuya, Sajin, Shunsui, Hitsugaya, Kenpachi, Mayuri, and Ukitake enter in the room. Along with George and Ferio to bring in their words ans evidences to show and tell about Sonia's friends on a situation on how to save them all while there was still some time left. For Yamamoto to try to stay calm to see that his niece was going to be fine as she was finally waking up to see where she was at right now.
"Huh...? Where I am...?" she sees the others. "W-What's going on?"
Kiwi was happy to hug Sonia and Momo tries to help her friend out.
"It's okay, Ms. Sonia, you're in the captain's meetings room. They ask me to come with you."
Sonia sees everyone to worry about her as she sees the other two men who are joining in with Momo and Kiwi in this one.
"Momo? Kiwi? Uncle Moto? George and...Ferio the Ferryman?" she was surprised and was right on what happened back in the World of the Living. "So, what I felt did happen. (At least they all came here, but Master Shu...He's gone.)"
Fifteen of Team Ichigo were trapped in a spell imprisonment type of thing, five hurt but alive for Yoruichi was getting treated now like Richard was, and one was killed in battle of that being Master Keigo Shu. A sad end for a fighter with honor of the Belmonts to die for it to try saving the others. Ukitake goes running up to Sonia to hug his girlfriend to worry about her the most.
"Sonia! Oh, my poor princess. I'm so glad you're okay." he said while hugging her.
Sonia felt happy to have her friends, uncle, Kiwi, uncle, and lover by her side to hug Ukitake back.
"Oh, you...I'll be fine, Jushiro, but thank you for worrying."
Shunsui then started to laugh out of nowhere.
"Are you kidding me, Sonia, Jushiro wouldn't stop talking about you since that power curse was unleashed. I try to tell him that everything would be fine, and I was right." said Shunsui. "Now he owes me a drink later."
For some of the captains to laugh for Ukitake to know that he did overact to care and love Sonia a lot for Shunsui was right after all. They sense Sonia's curse to course through her entire body, didn't they?
"Alright, Shunsui, maybe later we will."
"(Does he do more than just drink?)" questioned Sonia.
Soon, Yamamoto clears his throat to begin with the meeting right away...
Captains' Meeting:
"Sonia Dear, you had us worried very much." he said. "I just don't want anything bad happen to you."
"Me?" Sonia tries to be herself without showing any fear. "Don't worry, I won't let Dracula's curse take a toll out of me, not one bit." she shows her cut on her hand to be heal up thanks to Retsu's healing skills. "Thank you, Retsu."
"No trouble, Sonia, we're happy that you're still you."
For Yamamoto to feel something out for Sonia to still be her and not part of Dracula's army the way Richard when Jinpa was controlling his body. Looking at his niece, he believes in every word from Sonia.
"It's good that you are not a full vampire. Very good...Now let the captains' meeting begin." said Yamamoto to be happy to see Sonia was unharmed. "Are meeting is about the attack from the Belmont Village in the world of the Living for Dracula to create the darkness to cover the entire area in one state, more will happen if nothing's done soon enough. Stopping him, the vampires, monsters, and freeing the humans too. The one call Ichigo Kurosaki's friends escaped with a Quincy, a Ryoka with harpy powers, ex-Captain of Squad Two Stealth Force Yoruichi Shihoin, Master Liberian, and Ferryman to make it here alive. However, like Ichigo has been cursed from Shaft's powers right now the same with ex-captain of Squad Twelve of the Research and Developments Kisuke Urahara, four Monsouls, and other Ryokas. With Karakura Town and the entire area known as Japan is under sedge, we must act quickly before Count Dracula is able to break through our world next, the Soul Society."
Once Yamamoto said that part to shock Ukitake and Byakuya to hear the bad news about Rukia and Renji's conditions 'as Soi Fon tries to be strong for Yoruichi the most'.
"Not Rukia!"
"Renji...Rukia...!" Byakuya got mad to tighten up his hand in to a fist to hide his anger.
For the others were shock about this mess, George and Ferio both explained better to everyone on what type of spell it was that Shaft cast a spell on to be removed carefully in order to save everyone else as soon as possible.
"Allow us to introduce ourselves to you, Head Captain Yamamoto sir. For I am the George Thomas, the Master Liberian himself."
"And I am Ferio, also known as the Ferryman. Please to meet with all of you, Soul Reapers."
For Mayuri to say this part next...
"Ah, I've heard about you, Master Liberian, the know it all to make magic to aid the Belmont and friends centuries ago to stop the Dracula wars, the last survival during those times. Oh, yes, quite amazing stories it was to hear. My, my..." he said. "And a Ferryman who gives travelers a ride from the underworld of its waters, how odd to have these two are working together."
He makes a good point, but Ferio was different from any other Ferrymen out there. Once the two elderly but powerful men introduce themselves, Yamamoto had to ask them something on what went down back at the village. George tells them that Dracula, Deku, Death, Shaft, Wicked, other monsters, and vampire invaded the Belmont Village to hurt the others to imprison them in a crystal all over Japan like Team Ichigo, only for Master Keigo Shu was killed to help Uryu, Hayame, George himself, Ferio, and Yoruichi escaped with their imprison friends to still be alive to get to the Soul Society. For George to use some spell to keep the rest of them safe, Ferio to row the boat out, and Yoruichi uses her skills to open the gates with her remaining powers. Hard to believe on what has happened for all of them to be free somehow...Ferio then explains on how they can fix it 'to make the long story short' – combining his water magic and George's other spells he has and studied from his book which can slowly melt the crystals to free Ichigo and everyone else to take time to do, a type of heated liquid type of melted spell of some kind for Retsu has heard of this skills from long ago.
"Oh, yes..." she said. "I've heard of this skill. It's a powerful and safe process to free them all. I think you two fine gentlemen can do it."
The others were impress that with Ferio and George's combined magic can get it done 'for Sonia to know that can happen to have some hope left'. This was good. For Sajin was amazed to hear about that part to be done.
"Hmmm...seems possible for us to be ready for Dracula's strike soon in our world. So who knows what will happen if we don't act now."
"If these know that it'll work, then it will. I know it..." said Sonia.
Strong words for Sonia to know that her friends and Maria will come back to fight together once again.
"Sonia Dear." surprised Yamamoto to move on to something else next. "Regardless of my niece's conditions to find a cure for the curse, get to it soon, Captain Kurotsuchi."
Mayuri will get to it for him to discover something within Sonia's blood.
"I will do so, I'm getting close. You'll soon see too, Niece Belmont. I may have discover something great."
"If you say so..." Sonia understood Mayuri's words there. "(Glad to have some process to turn out well for me so far. And did he just say that he just discover something great? Whatever that is, I hope it'll help us in any way. I'll take anything to use on the journey that I've been through so far! So, why not?)"
Yamamoto had more to say on the next term from the event to the meeting itself...
"If anything else for Dracula to attack back at the World of the Living to cover the sun in darkness, we must act now. He will invade in the Soul Society next. While the Master Liberian and Ferryman work on freeing Ichigo, Urahara, Tessai, and the others to freeing them, we must be on high alert from anymore vampires, Dracula, Alucard, and other demons who intrude in our home. Lives are in grave danger! All Soul Reapers must use their fond powers of this Belmont abilities to make yourselves stronger; and more to try awakening theirs with Sonia Dear's skills to lend you all a hand. So, don't be reckless with it!"
The others get it loud an clear coming from Yamamoto himself to be serious and scary from the sound and looks from this old man.
"Uncle Moto..." surprised Sonia. "Lighten up, please..."
"Just as long as I can still fight with those things, why the hell not?" said Kenpachi to look happy to fight them real soon.
Even for Soi Fon to keep on fighting for her squad, friends, Sonia, and Yoruichi.
"Sonia, please answer me this question...Who was the one who try to kill Lady Yoruichi?"
Sonia knew how Soi Fon felt to answer back right away since she looked at Ferio and George to feel out the same aurora of dark energy from anywhere to be on Dracula's side.
"(Ah, man...Facing off against Death soon won't be so easy to defeat this time, I'm sure of it.)" she sighs to tell Soi Fon. "If you really want to know, it's Dracula's top henchmen on his team to show up all the time to be an outcast. Death himself, the Grim Reaper, opposite to you Soul Reaper guys."
"She's right." both George and Ferio said at the same time.
Hearing the name Death for Soi Fon has learn lots of stories about the outcast of Soul Reapers who has been banned from the Soul Society long ago for aiding Dracula since the beginning of time. You know...selling his soul to become the Grim Reaper to turn against humanity because of it? For Soi Fon, she knew right away on who she needed to kill with her own two hands and one Zanpakto of hers, Suzumebachi. Note to self: don't get on her bad side, ever!
"Death...!" moving her weapon really fast and kicking in anger to release her rage. "I see. Thank you, Sonia, we will win this war. For all of us, your friends, and for Lady Yoruichi. She will make a full recovery. When the times right for us to fight against Dracula's monsters, I will take on Death to rip the skull out of his body, and crush it with my foot!" Soi Fon calms herself after that. "Forgive me, Head Captain Yamamoto, Sonia, and the rest of you. But you all see what I must do...Death is mine to kill with my Belmont powers to do so. (Get well soon, Lady Yoruichi, so we may fight together on the same side real soon.)"
Well, you heard the woman there for the others don't question Soi Fon on that part at all.
"Scary Lady..." Kiwi hides behind Sonia's back.
"Yes, but Captain Soi Fon really means well, Kiwi, you'll get use to her."
Since she and Sonia were friends.
"Really she is... (Just don't piss this woman off.)" Sonia kept to herself.
Moving on to the next subject for Yamamoto to say next to everyone else.
"Anyways...! Captain Soi Fon, if Death does appear, have someone help you out. Never go in battle alone again the Grim Reaper. But revenge to someone you truly care about, I understand how much it hurts. Believe me." he said. "As the Shiba family and the Gate Keeper Jidanbo will also be aiding the rest in battle, so will the two of you, Ferryman and Master Liberian once you've freed everyone else first. Yoruichi Shihoin, the same with the two Ryokas of the Quincy and the harpy girl will also join once they make a full recovery. I'm sure they're getting the same news as well with the other lieutenant members right about now in their meeting like we're having. As for all of you, fight together if you must and fight back if you do have the Belmont powers, use them well as I said before; and let's not forget about Sonia Dear's curse of Dracula to be free and protecting her from that monster at all times, is that clear. Captains of the 13 Court Guard Squad, raise your voices to protect Sonia Dear as well do the same as her uncle." he speaks up louder. "Sound off!"
For the other captains say it to swear on their lives to protect Sonia at all times – as well as the other four Momo, Kiwi, Ferio, and George to do the same by Sonia's side 'and for her to fight back to give it her all'.
"I shall fight for Sonia who respects Lady Yoruichi as I do too!" said Soi Fon.
"I shall do the same thing." Retsu said.
"And so will I." and Byakuya.
"Me too." Sajin joins in.
"Count me in as well." same with Shunsui.
"I will since she's a good friend to Momo." Hitsugaya speaks up.
"For her, yes. And for me to still kick some demon ass!" said the happy Kenpachi.
"I do owe Niece Belmont a lot for being such a good experiment to aid and for saving my life." said Mayuri to love his work.
"I'll do anything for the woman that I love. (Sonia...)" Ukitake said to soon tell Yamamoto about their relationship soon.
Kiwi flies around the room to prove that he can do anything as well for his new friends.
"Kiwi will do anything for Sonia." he said. "Me in! Me in to fight!"
Sonia holds Kiwi in her arms to see that he was being serious about this whole thing.
"(Kiwi!)" she hugs her Zanpakto spirit. "Oh, you. Thanks for always being there for me, even if you're the good side of Eichikiba."
"Welcome!"
For Momo to stand by her best friend side to do the same thing to join in battle without running away, getting killed, or become a victim anymore.
"I too will fight for Ms. Sonia." she said. "She's my best friend in the whole world to set me free. As well as Toshiro, Rangiku, Izuru, Renji, Rukia, and everyone else I know and care about. So, I will continue to fight on as a Soul Reaper! (And that's goodbye to you for good until I face you again in battle, Captain Aizen.)"
Sonia smiled for Kiwi to be happy to hear that Momo was back to her normal self once again, even for Hitsugaya to smile quietly.
"Yeah!"
"Good to know, Momo, thanks." Sonia smiled.
"Yes, not bad Momo. (I will still protect you...)" Hitsugaya still loves Momo no matter what.
And last as Ferio and George both looked at each other the outcome to soon happen to be ready for Dracula's counter attack to not let that happen again in the future. But rather be ready for anything to fight back if it does. You know? For them to say this next part together as the Master Liberian and Ferryman had Team Ichigo and friends who needs saving first to get to it right away with their magic to take affect against Shaft's to fade away for good.
"In that case let's get to work, Ferio. Brighten!" George starts it up. "If you all excuse us, we need a better room to do this in. Sonia, be strong for we will get everyone back to fight for this spell also heals them too."
For Ferio to join in as well with George to mix his spell with the water one of his, it begins.
"But we promise to everyone else and to you, Sonia, we shall defeat Dracula and his wick ways for good to restore light again in the World of the Living to save the many lives. And those who become vampires." he said to leave the room with George. "Now then, we'll be off. Good luck to you all. No need to worry about us for we live to do things such as this."
And off they go, for the other guards of Soul Reapers take both George and Ferio somewhere with more room to use the spell on the crystals to begins – with a long process to not rest until it has been done. To free Ichigo, Rukia, Renji, Orihime 'with her Six Six Princess friends', Chad, Kon, Ririn, Kurodo, Noba, Urahara, Tessai, Jinta, Ururu, Maria, and Howey. I hope they'll do well in their team work. Sonia prays to hope for the best for the men who have been around for a long time now.
"(Good luck to you both, and thank you.)"
For them to leave for the meeting to go on, Sonia was in good hands...During the meeting with the captains, how was the other meeting the the lieutenants, with Uryu, Hayame, Kuukaku, Ganju, Jidanbo, and Ganju's gang are doing? Let's find out.
Lieutenants' Meeting:
From Uryu and Hayame to be with the other lieutenant Soul Reapers in the other room to have the meeting, Kuukaku speaks up for Ganju, Ko, Shiro, Bonnie, the other wild pigs, Ishino, Kenji, Sadatomo, Taichi, and Jidanbo 'who was outside to watch and hear from the window' for they were listening in on the upcoming battle. Lots to talk about.
"Alright! Listen up, you maggots!" she said. "Its time we get down to business since we want to be part of the battle against the Prince of Darkness, Count Dracula." Kuukaku turns to Jidanbo to see how he was holding up. "How's goes it with you, big guy? You can hear us from outside?"
He puts his thumb up to let Kuukaku know that he was doing well while still on guard duty.
"I can see and hear loud and clear from outside, Kuukaku. There's nothing to worry about."
"Ah, Sis...?" Ganju was lost. "Since when were you in charge of this type of meeting in the Seireitei?"
Oh, boy...Ganju shouldn't said that to his older sister to grab hold of the big guy by the neck for being questioned.
"Boss!" horrified the four members.
"Now that's Ms. Kuukaku for you!" both Ko and Shiro said together.
The others stayed out of this to watch the whole thing pass.
"Hey, Ganju! What was that? You dare question your sister who's trying to prepare for battle or what? How dare you?!"
"Ah! Sis, stop! You're killing me!"
The Shiba family, ladies and gentlemen. If only Kaien could see them now years later if he was still alive today.
"Death is too good for you to learn a painful lesson, Ganju! Now you listen up. Besides Jidanbo aiding us to fight against Dracula, the vampires, and demons to come in our world, you and your friends need to do the same thing. And what better way than here it from a Shiba family who had a brother who became a Soul Reaper back then, huh? And I'm in it too whether you like it or not. So do as I say!"
"Okay! You win!" he said in pain to use his hands to tap on ground to give up. "I give, and you win! Lead us, don't kill us!"
And point taken...
"That was..." Uryu was left speechless.
This almost made Kuukaku mad again to turn to Uryu and Hayame next.
"Excuse me, Quincy boy? Do you have anything to say too?" she asked.
With Uryu a bit confused to get nervous from saying anything, Hayame steps in to talk some sense in to Kuukaku in a normal confrontation to try to calm this woman down after what she try to do to her little brother.
"Wait! Wait, Kuukaku!" she stops her. "Kuukaku Shiba is your name, correct? Sorry, Uryu was surprise on how strong you've gotten and for the Head Captain himself to allow you to help us out in this upcoming battle. Even for your brother Ganju."
Good things the others told Hayame on who was who 'for Renji and Rukia did the rest as well' to learn all about them. And for Hayame's words, Kuukaku laughs to not hurt Uryu to pat Hayame on the back to like his new girlfriend.
"Ha...ha! Ha! Well, now. Hayame Yoko, correct?" Kuukaku shakes hands with the two. "Uryu, you got a nice girlfriend. I already like her. I can't wait to see Chad, Orihime, Ichigo, and Rukia tell me all about their story on what they've went thought so far. I hope that I get a chance myself with one of the demons soon enough. Isn't that right, Ganju?" she kicks her brother to wake him up. "Hey! Ganju, you better not be dead, I'm the only one who can do it!"
Nope, he was still kicking.
"No! I'm up! And yeah, Uryu's smart...And a nice girlfriend. I'm kind of jealous."
Looks like everyone was on broad to agree upon one another and to have the family of the Shibas who are helping them out on this one like from rescuing Rukia and the Bounts that were stopped.
"Ah, yeah. Thanks." he tells Hayame. "These guys maybe too much, but they're good people, Hayame, don't mind them."
"I won't." Hayame laughs. "I think I find them both funny in a good way. Nice to meet you both, Ganju and Kuukaku. Rukia told me how awesome your brother Kaien Shiba was. Amazing..."
She nodded a yes on that to make Ganju smile too.
"Well, you know...us Shiba family are well known." he said.
"We also make sand and fireworks happen as well. So we do kick ass." said Kuukaku to get back to business now. "Time to get down to the real business here, losers and weidos. For us to stop Count Dracula and his monsters before he turns us to vampires, turn the entire Soul Society into darkness, and not to mention try to protect Sonia Yamamoto Belmont from becoming his mess up bride. Also to get rid of the curse at once. While two magical elderly men save Ichigo and the others form their stone spell, we got ourselves powers to use and stopping any other goons of Dracula to take people's lives. You know, souls and blood...all that crap. And we me around, my stupid little brother, his friends, my two helpers Koganehiko and Shiroganehiko, and Jidanbo Ikkanzaka will also be joining us. We're going to need all the help we can get."
Ganju had something to say to the other Soul Reapers as well.
"What she said!" he had something else to say next. "Some of us will aid on others who are hurt, some of us will fight back, and all of us will try unleashing the Belmont powers that we can use against Dracula and his goons. And its not me and my gang to be back up and Jidanbo to take out the bigger enemies, we must be strong to know what and who we're fighting for. Our lives to the whole universe needs to be saved to get Ichigo and the others back. Like Yoruichi, Uryu, and Hayame are still kicking to join in battle as well; so until then we need to up our gang and keep on defending ourselves against those freaks!"
As Yoruichi was recovering well to make it through 'which was good news', Uryu and Hayame look at each other to agree on what they had to do as a team.
"(Not a bad speech there, Ganju, glad to have you fighting with us and your sister.)" said Uryu to say something to everyone else next. "That's why we have to protect our friend Sonia until she gets cured to become a Soul Reaper to fight back. The way she saved Richard Belmont, we have to do the same for her, Ichigo, Yoruichi, and the others. All of it. And with these powers, we need to make this battle count."
Hayame speaks up too while holding her Uryu.
"And we will too. From going through so much to training hard, we cannot give up. Not even once against those things! Any help we can get from at all, then we all can stop this nightmare to finally ending this curse for good. For some of us to heal, we will be ready to fight again, as well as Ichigo and everyone else too once George and Ferio frees them from Shaft's spell. So, if you guys are ready to fight, then so are we. Once my leg heals up first. Its getting there."
And for that, Kuukaku smiles to show and to prove to everyone else that they can do it like the others who have been getting the Belmont powers so far.
"Alrighty then. You guys heard the Quincy boy and his girlfriend, we have to fight back to get the Belmont powers from Sonia, save her, stop this curse, Dracula, and protect this and the other worlds. Even the World of the Living. Do I make my self clear?!" she said.
For Kuukaku to say that, so did Ganju.
"You heard my sister, she means well. For we all want to power somehow and we will get it to fight back." said Ganju. "So, are you lieutenant Soul Reapers with us or not?"
From the other Soul Reaper lieutenants were in as well: from Chojiro, Omaeda, Izuru, Isane, Hanataro, Iemura, Iba, Nanao, Hisagi, Rangiku 'for her to tell Momo about this too like she will with the captain as well later', Yachiru, Ikkaku, Yumichika, Nemu, Kiyone, Sentaro, and Ukitake were all in.
"I'm in."
"So am I!"
"Same here."
"I'll fight."
"I'll heal all of you as much as possible."
"Me too."
"I will fight for all of you guys with my new powers."
"I'll do all that I can to help."
"Anything to stop monsters like Dracula's."
"No one's invading our world in darkness."
"Fight! Fight on!"
"It'll be greater to get even stronger."
"That and go out all beautiful-like."
"Lady Sonia will be cure soon enough."
"For all of us as Soul Reapers!"
"We are ready for anything!"
Looks like besides Yoruichi, Urahara, Ririn, Kurodo, Noba, Tessai, Jinta, Ururu, Kuukaku, Jidanbo, Ganju, Ayame 'for them to give them items and such to hear the whole meeting to be going on'; Yamamoto, Chojiro, Isane, Hanataro, Iemura, Hisagi, Kiyone, Sentaro, Richard, Ferryman, Ukitake, and Master Liberian 'and maybe Alucard' are the only ones left who haven't unlock their Belmont powers yet to be the next ones in doing so. Some how...And with that, as Uryu and Hayame will get treated a bit with Ayame's help and other members from Squad Four, everything was all set to go. For the captains' and lieutenants' meeting to come to a close – as both Yamamoto and Kuukaku says this to the others.
"In any case...lets be on high alter until the event happens." said Yamamoto. "Protect Sonia Dear, become stronger with the Belmont powers if you haven't unlock them or you have, stop Dracula, end the curse, restore the World of the Living, stop the monsters, vampires, await for the others to get better, with Ichigo, and prepare on what's to come real soon."
For the Head Captain himself to say that, so did Kuukaku Shiba says the same thing.
"Uryu. Hayame. Do what needs to be done to get better, the same with Ichigo one him and the others get out of the Shaft's magic for the two old men to do so." she said to everyone else. "My brother, his gang, Koganehiko and Shiroganehiko, Jidanbo, and myself will help you train at all times and back you up as well. For the curse of Dracula will be stopped! I don't know how yes or what it is, but whatever that is, then it'll be useful to use. Make it count.
And then they say it together to ending the meeting...
"So with that, the meeting is now adjourned. Good luck to you all."
For the captains' and lieutenants' meeting is done 'for the time being'...As Momo tells the others on what she heard about today, same with Rangiku with the others on what's what. And for Sonia to feel like herself still from the curse to not affect her 'thanks to Mayuri's item as well', she was a strong person to still fight back. For Ayame to hear about what has happened from the mess to go down back in the World of the Living, she needed to do all that she needed to do for Byakuya and the others 'like Sonia' to fight back.
"(Right...Uryu, Hayame, Richard, and Yoruichi needs my help. Once they're better, I'll make anything to aid the others. All of this for the nightmare to end. And for Sonia to be cruse free from this Dracula monster.)" she said.
She was strong, as Alucard had to do something on whatever he was doing to join his father's side and the same with Rosa to go back to see Sonia in the Soul Society again. Leaving George and Ferio to get to work to free the others from Shaft's spell. From Ichigo, Rukia, Renji, Orihime, Chad, Kon, Urahara, Tessai, Jinta, Ururu, Ririn, Kurodo, Noba, Maria, and Howey to soon get set free. One who lived on forever to know a lot about his enemy Dracula; and Ferio to lets people ride on his boat to travel them from the other side of the waters to continue with his job with the nightmare to continue on every centuries for Dracula to come back. Only for this year will finally be his last.
"Ferio, between you and I working on this...you know that we can't stop until they're freed." said George. "The only thing I want done besides the darkness to fade, vampires to be stopped, and the people to be free. I also want to see Dracula defeated."
Ferio agrees with his old friend.
"And you think Ichigo and Sonia can do that once each of them are better and ready to fight?" he asked.
What other choice was there since the spell to cast has to be done? And it will.
"I know that they can stop Dracula somehow. They're our last hope left."
"Then let's make sure that Ichigo and the rest are set free."
As the two magic elderly men kept on going, it would seem that everything will happen little by little. As Dracula will make another move soon enough to keep his eye on the Soul Society while seeing that his new world back in the World of the Living 'through his crystal ball' for he was enjoying the show of his. With himself, Deku, Death, Shaft, and Chainsaw Killer were the only ones left to fight 'same with Alucard', Dracula also has a few more monsters to use with his army of vampires to join in as well. Not good at all...Later that night back at the Soul Society, Sonia senses Rosa to be nearby the area again to follow her; for she leaves the area of Squad Thirteen for now to follow her mysterious friend throughout the Sereitei area at night time.
"(Its Rosa again.)" she continues to follow the path to see her down the main gates. "Hey, Rosa, is that you? You heard what has happened to the others, correct? That means you can help us and then I'll learn more about you, right? We're stuck."
"Sonia..." Rosa was happy to see Sonia was still herself to stop as she was stopped by someone. "I'm afraid that part will have to wait for now. We have company."
For her to say something like that, someone had his or her Zanpakto pointed out at Rose form behind for Sonia to see...it was her uncle Yamamoto to make a scene to know who the woman in a red dress was to finally be relieved.
"Not so fast, Rosa Yamamoto. My sister-in law."
Sister-in law...? Sonia was lost.
"Wait! Uncle Moto, what are you doing to Rosa? She saved me. Don't kill her." Sonia begged of her uncle.
"Sorry, Sonia Dear, but I have my reasons why I fear of Rosa to stopping her after she has done to my older brother centuries ago." he said. "Do not move any closer to my niece."
For Rosa knew that she was going to get caught by the likes of him soon enough, she puts her hands up to say something shocking for Sonia to learn about her mysterious friend of a female vampire.
"Its been a long time hasn't it, Genryusai?" Rosa says something to Sonia next. "Sonia, its fine. I devered nothing more than getting what's coming to me...I am after all your long loss mother. Rosa Yamamoto. And since I'm a vampire to begin with a half human to fall for Soul Reaper, you are not only a human and a Soul Reaper..." she says the net part to daughter. "You are also a vampire. Yamamoto knew all along on who I was, and so did your own father too."
No way...! Well, that's something we all didn't see coming at all, huh? And how does Sonia feel about all of this?
"(No way...! Rosa who's the victim of Dracula is also my mother to be half human, Soul Reaper, and vampire too? Me?)" she had to ask her uncle about it. "Uncle Moto, is what Rosa saying all true?" Sonia questions Yamamoto again. "Answer me!"
"I'm afraid it is, Sonia Dear. That's why I want to curse to be gone before it turns you into a full flesh vampire of evil by Dracula's curse. Your mother left the Soul Society to let my brother die because of the Bount event. And for that she must die-!"
Before the Head Captain could strike at Rosa...
"Wait!" Sonia stops her uncle in time. "Uncle Moto, don't. I want to hear the whole story for myself. Don't kill her."
For Yamamoto wouldn't listen to anyone else to carry out with the job right away, but for Sonia as his only niece was a different story. And he does lower his weapon for he doesn't want to make her cry.
"Very well, Sonia Dear, I won't kill your mother. But that doesn't mean she won't be left off easily, punishment will happen to bring her justice. But for now, Rosa, start talking. I wish to know the rest as well." he said. "Tell us everything."
"Thank you, Uncle Moto." she said to turn to Rosa. "Listen, Rosa, if you're my mother and I'm half a vampire, then tell us everythng on what really happened. You really didn't work for Dracula to cause the Bount project and Dracula's rebirth to cause my Father to die, did you? (Please tell us the truth.)"
As Kiwi was flying above the two Soul Reapers to hear and see what was happening for Rosa to be have to tell them all about it now. For the next one will tell everything about the Yamamoto's past, the Bount project, Draula, Rao Tao, Inkia, Rosa herself, and everything else? Is Rosa really an enemy to Dracula to help out Sonia a lot and her real mother? Or does she work for him to have an awful reason why she left her husabnd to die? We'll know all about it soon enough.
