Bleach – The Heart of the Matter
By Tayla Drago
The story about Count Dracula's Castle to be more than just a very big palace, its also his power that lies form within...Or so the legends has been told. Let me explain:
Dracula's Castle, also known as Demon Castle or Castlevania, is Count Dracula's lair and symbol of his magic. It houses an army of his supernatural minions, and tends to collapse when Dracula is defeated. Yet, it is able to restore itself and reappears intact in later games, even the ones where Dracula has not yet revived himself. The exact location of the castle is impossible to determine. Being an entity of chaos, it has the ability to reemerge in different places whenever it revives. Still, the vast majority of times it has reappeared was in Europe, in Transylvania. If one takes into account the events from the original 1897 novel that inspired the series, as well as real historical landmarks where Vlad III Drăculea was known to inhabit, that may be indication that the castle from the series was at some point located somewhere in Transylvania or in northern Wallachia, where one of the voivode's real castles, Cetatea Poenari, is located. Nevertheless, due to its supernatural nature as symbol of Dracula's magic and its ability to revive in different regions, the castle in the series cannot be considered the same as the historical landmarks. It does not exist in the earthly plane but is, in fact, a spiritual world atop another dimension.
The appearance of the castle also varies; in artwork for the original Castlevania it appears to be on top of a mountain, while in Symphony of the Night it is located off the shore of a lake, and in Curse of Darkness it resides by the ocean (maybe the Black Sea).[citation needed] In Symphony of the Night, Maria Renard remarks the castle is different from how she remembers it (she had fought in it five years earlier during the events of Rondo of Blood). Alucard, who had probably once lived there, notes the castle is "a creature of chaos", hinting at the castle's origins and explaining its constantly changing nature. It is possible the castle originally belonged to Walter Bernhard. His castle had the familiar strange keep structure present in Dracula's Castle. If this was the case, the castle dates back to at least the 11th Century. In 1094, the castle appeared more like a traditional medieval castle than the more elaborate Gothic architecture seen elsewhere. One factor in favor for Walter's castle being Castlevania is that, in Curse of Darkness, the abandoned castle is the place where only a Belmont's blood can gain access to the infinite corridor. Seeing as Leon Belmont was the first Belmont proclaimed at Walter's castle, the abandoned castle could be Walter's original castle.
A factor against the theory of Walter's castle becoming Castlevania is that at the end of Lament of Innocence, Mathias Cronqvist (Dracula) leaves the castle in the form of a bat and it is not known where he went, or if he ever returned. The Japanese instruction booklet for Castlevania: The Adventure outright states Dracula to have built his castle himself at the outskirts of Transylvania. Koji Igarashi has also expressed that one of the reasons for the change of the franchise's Japanese title from "Akumajō Dracula" to "Castlevania" was due to there being no Dracula, nor his castle, on a given game, indicating that the castle seen in Lament of Innocence might indeed not be the same castle that Dracula uses later down the chronology. Following Dracula's defeat in 1999, the castle was sealed into an eclipse, and was visited by Soma Cruz in 2035. In 2036, Celia Fortner and her cult built a castle immensely similar to Dracula's to foster the growth of a new Dark Lord. As her plan was left in ruins, the castle completely collapses. The castle ultimately returned due to Olrox effectively taking over as the Dark Lord, until Death put an end to him.
Castlevania was constructed sometime before 1455. Lisa of Lupu visited the castle in 1455 and became the student and wife of Dracula shortly after their first meeting. After Lisa was killed by the Church within Targoviste in 1475, Dracula returned to Castlevania to summon an army. He dueled with his son Alucard within the castle and then gathered an army of demons. In 1476, Dracula teleport Castlevania directly into the center of Targoviste. He unleashed his army of demons and destroyed the city in short order. Dracula's army was then deployed across the whole of Wallachia with the goal of exterminating all humanity.
Castlevania is the home of Vlad Dracula Tepes. It is strongly implied that the castle was built by Dracula himself. The castle is both a technological and supernatural marvel. From its exterior, the castle can be seen to incorporate electricity and advanced mechanics in its workings. The Belmont family has noted that it also uses steam power and electric powered lights. Not including technology that is centuries beyond what the outside world possesses, Castlevania is also operated with supernatural elements. Dracula's study is shown to have glass that reacts to his magical abilities. Also, the whole castle is capable of teleportation; a "traveling machine" as Dracula puts it. Dracula can make Castlevania teleport to any location. This teleportation can be done softly or in an explosion of fire, as was the case when he teleport the castle into Targoviste. During peacetime, Castlevania is Dracula's home and laboratory. In wartime, it is a weapon of such danger and potency as to be legend. When Dracula attacked Targoviste, his castle's teleportation was like dropping a bomb on the city, destroying the city church instantly. Immediately afterward, Dracula released his army —which was housed inside the castle— directly into the city; completely ignoring any defenses Targoviste had.
And that's about it to explain from Dracula's Castle and such. Speaking of the building, from inside Alucard had other plans to take care of to do on his own without drawing a crowd 'or a herd of demons to follow him'. I just hope he was really on Sonia's side this whole time.
"Son of Lord Dracula, funny running in to you in the hallways." Deku flies next to the Dhampir to look confused. "What are you doing? Can you see that we're about to cause tons of fun and chaos in the Soul Society and then the World of the Living afterwards? I know you don't want to miss out all of the fun like me."
Yeah, what was Alucard 'really' up to tan just being part of his father's army in the first place? If he wasn't the real bad guy, than what's his goal.
"Deku, I thought someone was following me. I have business to prepare to set up the vampires in the area that we're in. I have n time to chitchat." he said. "(I have to play along just a bit longer before I can strike back at my Father...)"
As Alucard walks around Deku, he knew that something was up to make sure on what the Dhampir just said was true.
"Hmm...Now hold on just one second!" he flies at Alucard again to double check. "Show me, Lord Dracula told me to double check with everyone to set up for the upcoming battle to gather souls, blood, and the Belmont Girl. Without any screw ups."
And so, Alucard does to show Deku the room to get to it as prepares the spells to place at on the locations to place the vampires at like he said for the Vampire Bat to believe in him.
"See? Now if you please excuse me while I go train before the rest of us march in to war." Alucard walks off after that.
Deku sees that Alucard was telling the truth to for him to leave the Dhampir be for now.
"I see. Very well, you're good then. (Good to know that this one's trust worthy than Succubus was.)"
With that part being taken care of, Alucard does it quickly to sneak away from Deku to go somewhere else next without him sensing out. For Shaft to summon the other monsters to send out as the last ones to take care of the job by any means.
"Deku, you may tell Lord Dracula that everything's all set on the monsters as you can plainly see..." he shows the little bat on his work to summon the rest with greater power than the last ones. "And here they are. Darkwing Bat, Lady Warrior Medusa, three zombies, Akmodan II, Beezelbub, double Doppelgangers, The Creature, and Galamoth. All ready to fight. As for us, we'll make sure that Lord Dracula has all the back up he can get with our help."
What are Zombies? The original version of the Zombie from Castlevania also appeared in the rearrange version of that game, Vampire Killer, and as a retro throwback enemy in the Origins downloadable content in Castlevania: Harmony of Despair. They are the reanimated remains of a visitor who visited the Castle long ago. Zombies are only found in the Castle entrance hallways. They walk at a brisk pace in a straight line along the floor. They will knock their opponent back if they hit them, while continuing along their path unphased.
In the original Castlevania and Vampire Killer, the zombies will spawn at either edge of the screen and from beyond walls. In Castlevania: Harmony of Despair, the Zombie's will spawn from the ground and return to the ground when reaching an end of a hall. In Castlevania, they often appear clumped in close groups of 2, or 3, while in Vampire Killer they are more evenly spaced. They drop and continue in the same direction if they meet an edge of a platform. If they reach a wall while it is visible, they will switch direction, otherwise, they will pass off the edge of the screen.
Deku was very pleased to see to see how Death was doing next about the darkness to be release from the sun to stay block that way.
"All set, Deku, the entire Soul Society. And with the villagers scatter all over, we'll find enough blood and souls from them to give to Lord Dracula." said Death himself. "I got some reaping to do."
So it would seem like it. For if anyone tried to escape, Death will be ready for them either way with no place to run or hide 'and that's not good at all'. And with Deku seeing that the three has done everything right, the vampires were all set to go, and and the other monsters to go cause trouble to get the souls and blood if they need be and Sonia to be brought back alive to Dracula. Deku tells his master the good news.
"Everything's good to go, Lord Dracula. Alucard has found the good spots for the vampires to wonder for blood, the monsters are in place to cause trouble on the other Soul Reapers, and the darkness has been cast with no sunlight bothering you now." he said to see the rest of the Soul Society through the crystal ball. Whenever you're ready, the rest is all yours to get your bride to be and rule everything that you wish to claim."
"Very good, Deku, now leave me be for me to prepare..." he said.
And for that as Dracula was pleased to sense Sonia and Rosa out knowing that he was ready for anything which pleases Deku very much.
"Of course, we leave the rest to you. I'll keep my eyes on the other monsters once we're ready to move out to be your eyes."
Guess for Dracula to take care of the rest was up to him now for Deku to guide the monsters 'with Chainsaw Killer to be his bodyguard', the vampires to be ready to spread out; while Death and Shaft waited for further notice as Alucard did too 'while taking care of something else'. That doesn't look good one bit...As for the other Soul Reapers for Yamamoto to alert Chojiro right away of the danger that was happen to sound the alarm right away; while he, Sonia, Kiwi, Rosa, Momo, Ukitake, Shunsui, Nanao, Kiyone, and Sentaro rush back to the Sereitei area.
"Lieutenant Sasakibe!" the Head Captain calls upon Chojiro to come to him right away. "Lieutenant Sasakibe! We have a code red! Dracula has arrive in the Soul Society with his monsters to cause trouble with his castle! Sound the alarm to alert all the Soul Reapers to prepare for battle, send out lots of Hell Butterflies if you have to! Repeat, sound the alarm for a code red! Code Red! We all must prepare for battle with the Ryokas Master Liberian, Ferryman, the Shibas, and both Yoruichi and Richard Belmont once they recover. Along with Ichigo Kurosaki, Urahara, and the other Ryokas!"
"Right away, Head Captain Yamamoto. I'm on it." he takes care of it. "I will not fail you or fail the name of your family one bit."
Here's the history about Chojiro...When he was younger, Sasakibe routinely visited Yamamoto at his school, always referring to him as "Eijisai-dono", a reference to the scar on his forehead. This annoyed Yamamoto and he apologized for doing so, but insisted that it would be wrong to use Yamamoto's real name. During one of his visits, Sasakibe told Yamamoto that he wished to be his right arm and compensate for anything that Yamamoto could not do. He declined an offer to become an instructor as he thought that he would simply end up copying Yamamoto. Though he failed to defeat him, he left a permanent scar on Yamamoto's face. When others began to call Yamamoto by a different name as a result of his new scar, Sasakibe continued to call him "Eijisai" as he could not change the way he called him because of a scar he inflicted. He declined to act as a substitute captain when a position as captain became vacant due to his loyalty to Captain-Commander Yamamoto.
Anyways, Chojiro does it right away to send out all the Hell Butterflies f the danger that;s about Dracula, his army, and the castle in the Soul Society area. As well as the alarm to go off all over the Sereitei to be ready for war.
"Sonia, be ready for anything." said Rosa.
Even Kiwi agrees to this whole mess.
"Be ready for anything! Kiwi will too! Kiwi will!"
She was aware to make sure that everyone else will make through this battle that's about to happen and free herself from the curse soon enough.
"Yeah, I know. We have to be ready for anything that'll soon come. (Not just for saving my life now, but the others are in danger.)"
As the alarm goes off for all the Soul Reapers to join in and such, saying this throughout the speakers for Sonia and the other Soul Reapers, Rosa, Ayame, Carrie, Go Koga, Jidanbo, Ganju, Kuukaku, George, Ferio, Uryu, Hayame, and Kiwi must be ready for. Even for both Yoruichi and Richard once they're healed. And let's not forget about Ichigo and the others to get heal from the other two men to join in battle too and fast! Getting the message across all over the Sereitei and the Soul Society, saving the people comes first to fighting off monsters and vampires for someone to speak out the message.
Soul Reaper Messenger: Attention! All Soul Reapers of Captains and Lieutenants, prepare for battle. Code Red! Code Red! This is not a drill. I repeat, this is not a drill. Enemy has been spotted outside of the Sereitei to put the many innocent lives in grave danger, known as Count Dracula, his vampires, Alucard, and any other demons who are around must be stopped. Mission has given to save the many lives from them to be killed on site. As well as having anyone else who can join in battle, including the Ryokas as well are allowed. Both the Soul Society right now and the World of the Living's are in grave danger from the ever lasting curse. Anyone one else who has recovered, please join us. And those cannot, get well to leave the rest on those who can. One more thing, protect Sonia Yamamoto/Belmont at all times. Do not let her turn to a vampire or let Dracula's men get to her at all! That's an order left by the Head Captain himself! Now, everyone, move out!
Well, you heard the other Soul Reaper just now. Nicely done getting the message out, Chojiro. For both Uryu and Hayame felt better to fight again more than Yoruichi or Richard 'just yet' as they try to get ready to fight.
"Uryu." she talks to her boyfriend.
"I know, Hayame, I think we're good to battle again." said Uryu to lend his girlfriend a hand. "We better get ready-!"
"Hold it!" Kuukaku stops them to push Uryu aside.
Oh, great. Now what is it to stop those two for fighting? For Uryu to get push back a bit hard to hurt, Hayame helps him out to be confused.
"Ah, Uryu! What gives, Kuukaku-!" she stops to rethink that part. "I mean...Kuukaku, what seems to be the problem? Both of us want to fight back with Sonia until Ichigo and the others are set free from Shaft's spell."
Lots of reasons why then just Kuukaku's toughness to act rude to really care for the others to come up with a better plan than letting those two go on there own. Well, she does care deep down to make new friends from them and aided Ganju to owe them that much.
"Listen, Sis-!"
Before Ganju could say anything, his older sister says something to stop him from talking.
"Don't, Ganju, I stopped them because they were about to do something stupid. We have to stay together. Sonia wants that. She's a good kid. We talked to her earlier today."
She was right for Ganju and his other four friends knows about Sonia for sure as a special type of Soul Reaper and human she is.
"Oh, yeah...She was kind of cutie, huh guys?" Ganju said for his friends to agree with him.
"You know it, Boss!" said Ishino, Kenji, Taichi, and Sadatomo.
Dropping that subject for Kuukaku to kick Ganju harder than she did with Uryu to pushing him a little.
"Shut up! We got no time to be a pervert, Ganju! We got to fight back for these two to join with us, and that's that. You, me, and Jidanbo are going with these love birds. Sonia will meet up with us. If they're safe by our hands, then Sonia doesn't have to worry about a thing. So lets get going."
The two Shibas and Jidanbo will be sticking with Uryu and Hayame throughout this entire battle.
"Oh, right...Right! (I'm kind of jealous that she already has someone else in her life. Oh, well.)" Ganju gives everyone an order on what they have to do. Ishino! Kenji! Taichi! Sadatomo! I want you guys to gather the other members to get everyone out of the village right away to lead them all out to safety. Koganehiko and Shiroganehiko, you two ask Ayame on the areas where the most people are around and tell these guys on what they have to do. And Jidanbo, I know that you'll be joining my Sister and me. But make sure you tell the other three guards to be on look out in case those demons or vampire break in to the Sereitei. Are we all clear on the task at hand or what?"
Everyone gets to it right away.
"Yes, I'll get to it." said Jidanbo.
Both Koga and Shiro do their parts right away.
"Yes, Mr. Ganju sir!" the two get to work.
And of course his friends take off in a hurry for Ishino, Kenji, Taichi, and Sadamoto to get on their boars as Ganju kept his Bonnie with him at all times.
"On it, Boss."
"You can count on us, Boss."
"Sure thing, Boss."
"We know what we must do, Boss."
The four get on their boars to move on out.
"Then what the hell are you guys waiting for? Get to it! Move out!" he said. "I'll help out Uryu and the others on the front line."
Getting on the other four boars, the four head on out.
"OK! Lets go!" all four of them said.
And away they go, with Jidanbo waiting for Kuukaku and Ganju to get going. Along with Bonnie, Uryu, and Hayame to join with them. Well...they had to stay with them so they wouldn't get hurt and leaving Sonia to not worry so much. While both Shiro and Koga go to talk to Ayame right away at Squad Six where she was with Byakuya to help the others out.
"Lady Shiba, leave this to us!" said Koganehiko.
"We'll lend a hand too, Lady Shiba." and Shiroganehiko.
Those two were in a hurry...And now, Jidanbo quickly tells the other gate keepers to be on their guard at all times. For Higonyūdō, Danzōmaru, and Kaiwan get the message to allow Jidanbo to aid the other two Shiba siblings, Uryu, and Hayame.
"I've done the rest to alert the other three of the Gatekeepers. The rest I shall aid you, Ms. Shiba." he said to get his two large weapons all set to go. "Whenever you, your brother, and two friends of Ichigo are ready...I am too."
And for that...both Uryu and Hayame sees Kuukaku's point to be useful for them to have more company on their side.
"I guess we're good to go then."
"Yeah, lets stick together for Sonia's sake."
For Kuukaku to save the thanks 'to mean well', she hears Jidanbo loud and clear.
"Got it. Thanks, big guy. Ahem!" she gets Uryu and Hayame's attentions. "Hey, you two. Hurry up and get dress because I'll lose my patients."
"Yes, sir!" Uryu and Hayame get ready to gear up.
Man, she should've been captain of the Soul Reapers instead, you know? She then gets her brother to get kick on to Bonnie to start moving out right away as soon as possible.
"And what are you sitting around for, Ganju? Get your ass moving!"
"Okay, I'm on Bonnie now. We're good to move on out!" he said to try not to look scared. "(Sis can be very scary...!) Alright, Uryu! Hayame! Sis! Jidanbo! Let's head on out to fight some demons! Bonnie, let's go!"
For Uryu in his Quincy uniform and Belmont items all set, Hayame in her harpy form with the Belmont staff in her hands 'as both Kuukaku and Ganju got their fire work items', they headed on out with Jidanbo to walk slowly to follow them as Bonnie follows the others on where they were heading off to first to stop some demons.
"Alright, team back up of Ichigo's, forward march!" Kuukaku said.
From Hayame was ready to fight to feel much better getting treated in time.
"Alright! Its time to save both the World of the Living and the Soul Society." Hayame was all set. "(Everyone, please get better so we can all fight and hang out again. And Sonia, we'll be seeing you in a bit.)"
Same with Uryu to use this special Quincy power to good use until it runs out 'as Sonia and Alucard told hm' to make the best out of it.
"In the name of the Quincy Pride, I'll make these Belmont powers from it count to stop Dracula for good." same with Uryu too. "(I have Hayame by my side. I will not look weak to fight for what's right...And Ichigo, please. You and everyone else get free soon. Otherwise, what would life feel like without you protecting Karakura Town? Don't you dare make Sonia cry anymore than she has already suffer so much.)"
With those lovers to be holding hands and follow Ganju, Kuukaku, and Jidanbo to be ready to go. Looks like everything was all set to go for all the Soul Reapers move out...however, the ground started to shake all over the area to feel out a strong energy coursing through for everyone of them to feel out, even for Sonia and Kiwi.
"More red alert!"
"Kiwi?" Sonia was lost to then feel some pain from her neck to fight off the curse better than before. "No...! (It can't be...Right now? He has to do this now?)" she had to tell everyone of the danger that was about to happen who was with her still. "Jushiro! Uncle Moto! Mom! Everyone! Listen to me! Watch out for the grounds to be popping out! Its Dracula's doing! He's doing this to try to separate us and the others for the demons to kill each of them for their blood and souls to give to that bastard! If we don't fight back and for me to aid all of you with the Belmont powers I still have left to give, it'll be game over for all of us!"
Yamamoto had trouble believing in it to know that his niece was right.
"Head Captain Yamamoto...!" Chojiro worried. "Lady Sonia's right."
"This can't be! Everyone on your guard!"
But it starts for Rosa to warn everyone too late to send Chojiro, Yamamoto, Sonia, Kiwi, Ukitake, Shunsui, Momo, Nanao, Kiyone, and Sentaro 'with Rosa too' were all getting pushed away from one another for some of them.
"Get back!" she said. "Its happening!"
For the ground to be popping out with rock that were pointy and fast for the others to move away in time, only to be away from each other by Dracula's doing. As Shaft uses his spells to place the vampires to roam freely, Death watches from on top of the castle to send the demons to battle to face with anyone who can fight with power, as Ganju's gang got everyone else and Ayame's friends in time, while the other Gatekeepers stayed put; Deku and Chainsaw Killer moved out as well to watch the show and get Sonia, and Alucard does something on his own without anyone else to notice a thing during the time. Everyone now was ready for battle as George and Ferio continue to use the spell to free Ichigo and the others as quickly as possible. And from the darkness in the skies for the dark energy to pass by for the monsters and vampires were ready to cause trouble; with Sonia, Kiwi, and Chojiro stayed together to move away from the danger to lose the others...Alive and well, but they have to get to everyone and fast as Dracula's words spoke out for everyone to hear the horrors from the Prince of Darkness for others to fear and hide to save their own lives in time, and to be saved in time soon enough.
"Yes...Yes...Yes...At long last, I've risen up again after many centuries to get back to the humans who took everything from me to destroy those who have taken the one I love. And now with you as her replacement, Sonia, there's no escaping from me now. We will find you! So go, my brothers. My Sisters. Monsters of my creations, and cause chaos all over with the blood and souls that I must have to become whole once I have gain so much to have this much power that any other Bount like Jin Kariya would never had! Do what needs to be done, kill if you have to...I have plenty more who'll fight by my side to get Sonia and take over all worlds. Slowly with the Soul Society and then rest of the World of the Living will happen afterwards which I'll be ready for. All of it! Nothing couldn't been done before, and it has. At long last it has for me! For I am, Count Dracula. The Prince of Darkness and the King of all Vampires! And if you, Rosa, think you can out run me to fighting back from the curse that I've place upon you from long ago, I will stop you if you wish to turn against me. So beware, Yamamoto family, other humans, Richard Belmont, Ichigo's friends, Master Liberian, Ferryman, Momo Hinamori, and Jushiro Ukitake. For those who stand in my way to have Sonia will have to get through me! I'll have all of your heads!" Dracula laughs. "Just try to stop me! I have my Doll Wicked and more power to gain! What else can I lose? Nothing, that's what. For I am ready to fight back to take over the light to cover everything in complete darkness."
Wow...Some speech that Dracula made, huh? Didn't sound like himself at first, huh? So weird...From vampires, zombies, lots of other demons and such were being creepy to spread all over the Soul Society to do what they were meant to do from being created unless the Soul Reapers and the good guys can stop them first. As Sonia checks on Kiwi to look find to be covered in dust only to shake off of him, they soon see Chojiro to show himself to them.
"Sonia! Sonia OK!" he said to hug Sonia. "Yeah!"
"Kiwi, you are too! That's good. And where is everyone else...?" she then see Chojiro. "Huh? Chojiro?"
Looks like he was unharmed to check on Sonia and Kiwi's conditions and was on guard to make sure that the Head Captain's niece was safe.
"Lady Sonia, are you all right? And your Zanpakto friend?" he asked to checking on the two. "It looks like you're not serious injured so that's good." Chojiro then senses something to get his Zanpakto out for battle. "It looks like we have a demon to deal with first before we can do anything else."
"Demon...? Ah!" Kiwi senses out the danger. "Red alert again! Danger! Danger! Approaching giant flying bat!"
Soon Kiwi freaks out for Sonia to sense it too and gets out her weapon of Zanpakto to aid Chojiro in this fight.
"You're right...! Its the Darkwing Bat!"
In most games, it is shown to be composed of a company of bats. In Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, it was revealed that the Giant Bat is one of three integral parts of Dracula's powers, the other two being the Flame Demon and the Succubus. Dracula even takes the form of a giant bat or a bat company in many occasions. There have been several names and identities for the giant bats that have appeared throughout the games, including Phantom Bat, Zapf Bat (made out of treasure), Darkwing Bat (specializes in wind attacks), Bat Company (multitude of bats that move to form the shape of other things), Twin Bats (two giant bats in tandem), among others.
This bat was a vasious on to put up any fight to be fast, acid spraying, wind making, and spinning to the wing as his weapons to use.
"Ah! Looks like I found the Belmont Girl first to bring back alive to Lord Dracula. How lucky I am. As for the Soul Reaper..." Darkwing starts to fly really fast to spray acid at the two and Kiwi to move away in time. "I CAN KILL YOU FROM WHERE YOU STAND! Hand over the Belmont Girl who's Lord Dracula's bride!"
As fast as he was for Kiwi to eat the acid to have no affect on him to help out Sonia, she prepares to fight back.
"Thanks, Kiwi. Come on, Chojiro, we need to stop this thing first before we can find the others first." she releases her Zanpakto. "(I guess this means war then.) Show Them No Mercy! Eichikiba!"
Cutting some acid from getting sprayed at from Darkwing's doing and trying to chain him up, the demon uses his wing to try blowing her away.
"You think that you chaining me up will slow me...DOWN?!"
"No, just enough for me to do this!" Chojiro uses his Zanpakto next. "Bite! Gonryomaru (Solemn Spirit)!"
From Chojiro trying to electrocute the demon to be hurtful a bit...but he morphs his wings into a form of a drill to make Sonia spin to also try piercing Chojiro to get his robe a bit ripped and bleeding from a hand a little. At least his hand wasn't drilled in, a close call that was. For no other electricity powers won't work and Darkwing shields himself from the drill form and the acid spit destroys Sonia's chains from Zanpakto Shikai form. Even though it can fix itself, it still won't be enough to tie this demon down to be too fast to stop.
"This thing's too fast! Too fast!" Kiwi move away from being blown or drilled. "Sonia! In danger right now!"
"I know that, Kiwi!"
Darkwing Bat comes charging in at Chojiro to push Sonia and Kiwi aside from getting caught to be fighting in the air now.
"Lady Sonia! Save yourself!" he said to have trouble getting out.
Now the bat was giving everything he has against this lieutenant type of Soul Reaper from Squad One.
"One Soul Reaper to have your blood and soul by my...giant teeth!" said Darkwing.
Chojiro's Zanpakto couldn't shock the demon to keep his giant mouth from biting on him forever, Sonia knew right away that the only way to stop Dracula's monsters was to activate their inner power of the Belmont to give the rest out to them as quickly as possible. And for Kiwi to glow up, flies up in the air, and headbutts Darkwing in the face to bleed out to fall...
"Take that, meanie!" he said. "Sonia, save friend! Win this war for everyone of Sonia's friends and Kiwi. Even other half of Kiwi, Eichikiba!"
And she does in time to use her chains to land Chojiro down safely. As she hears from her little friend, she understood that Sonia's Belmont powers have to give to everyone else on everything she has left for a Belmont pride.
"(Kiwi...)"
"Quickly, Lady Sonia, do what needs to be done." said Chojiro.
Darkwing tries getting back up to strike again after trying to kill Kiwi to move away just in the nick of time.
"OW! You'll pay for this!"
Sonia aids everyone on everything that she has to give it to Chojiro next.
"Right! Okay, Chojiro, give it everything you got!" she said. "Power up!"
And for Chojiro to get upgrade to have the power of thunder and light under his control to have a shield and sword, one to create thunder sounds and the other to make lightening shoot out. For him to be ready to finish Darkwing off.
"Lieutenant of Squad One, Chojiro Sasakibe! Powers from within! Activate!"
Nicely updated for Sonia to see. With Kiwi flying away from Darkwing Bat, he tries to attack at them once again.
"Grr...I will strike at you first, Soul Reaper!" the demon attacks for Chojiro to block his every strike he was giving out without stopping to pierce, acid spits, or wind gust making. "I will not lose to the likes of you! Do you know who we are and what are goals that must come true? Well, do you?! Answer me-!"
As a gust of wind was made again, Chojiro stops it with his thunder waves to push the demon back and his acid attack to burn his wing to stop the drilling move. Down the demon goes. Allowing for Chojiro to use another one of his lighting attacks on the giant bat to finish it off for good to go straight to his mouth.
"Sorry, but the only ones who wants you all to die is Sonia and her uncle, the Head Captain of Squad One himself. Because we will win, as I'm his lieutenant, Chojiro Sasakibe!" he move really fast to shocking the demon to then slashing at many times while saying something. "You think by threatening our world will have all of us Soul Reapers become victims of Count Dracula?! Never! You've killed, hurt, affected, and so much to never end from the curse. Well, not anymore Darkwing Bat! We'll see it to win even if my powers and the others will last for a while, then so be it. We'll take whatever we have to win this war to save the Soul Society and the World of the Living too!" Chojiro uses one more move to finish Darkwing off. "Looks like I dealt with a weak one. Oh, well. Lady Sonia..."
Sonia makes her move next to see Chojiro's words were brought upon Dracula and his demons, and for her to finish the job.
"(Wow, never make this guy mad again after that move.)" she said to use her special attack next. "I'm on it! In the name of the Belmont Clan! Holy Cross, I now Bathe ties the Evil. Be…Gone!"
Firing a water attack of hers, destroys Darkwing Bat for good. Not a powerful demon to be stopped in seconds even with Chojiro's Belmont powers from his Zanpakto as well.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAH! I've lost already!? That quickly! But that's too soon for me!"
And the bats demon...For everyone to awaken their Belmonts powers or already have so far, they're going to need all the power ups that they can get. Soon breaking through the rocky walls, more help arrives. Aiding Sonia, Kiwi, and Chojiro – it was Sajin and Iba to the rescue.
"Here they are, Captain! They're unharmed." said Iba. "That's good."
The others were happy to see a few more people looking well, even for Sonia was relief.
"Sajin Wolf! Iba! You guys are all right!"
"Yeah!" Kiwi cheers as well. "We're saved! We're saved!"
"Good to see you two are fighting back like we are." Chojiro was pleased.
For this, it looks like the war is starting off for the villagers to get out to safety while the other Soul Reapers were fight back so far. That was a good thing to stop the vampires by far as Sajin had something to say to Sonia on what's been happening since the earth quake was made by Dracula himself.
"I'm glad you're well, Lieutenant Sasakibe, Lady Sonia, and Little Zanpakto. But Lieutenant Iba and I have made it just in time. We need all the help to stop Dracula's monsters to power up everyone else besides us so far." he said. "As far as we can get out of, they all got out to fight on against what Dracula has send out just to keep them away from you, Lady Sonia, but you must fight back. Some might not handle the battle alone."
Sonia sees how chaotic it was getting throughout the Sereitei and outside of it to show the Soul Society as well, not good. But no one was dying today. Like for Yamamoto, Rosa, Ukitake, Shunsui, Nanao, Kiyone, Sentaro, and Momo were somewhere safely to continue to fight on – for Sonia to see that this was only the beginning of a war that Dracula has started off.
"Good to know that everyone else is still alive." she said to see the battle to be happening. "(All of this, Dracula, just to get to me. What gives? Will you ever stop? This isn't like you at all...)" Sonia then says something to Sajin about the Belmont Powers. "Sajin Wolf, no need to worry. I still have power to give to everyone else in time. With Kiwi's help, I think we can find everyone else who are in danger."
Kiwi moves around to prove a point for the other three Soul Reapers to believe in her to do just that, there was still time left in a long battle to be going down.
"Captain Komamura?" both Iba and Chojiro turn to him.
"It'll be fine, gentlemen. If she can make it through Dracula's curse, then I'm sure she can do so much more. She's a strong girl. Lady Sonia, go find the others and leave the vampire and zombie hunting to us. Hurry."
"OK!" said Kiwi.
Sonia uses her Flash Steps to get going.
"Ah, yeah...I hope to see you guys again real soon then. (And I'm off!)"
And with that, Sonia takes off to do just that for Kiwi to follow her. Leaving Chojiro, Sajin, and Iba take care of the mess right now to catch up later.
"I do believe you're right, Komamura." said Chojiro to make use from his new powers. "Then lets get to work. (Good luck.)"
Well, for someone like Yamamoto's lieutenant, he was good at his job and fighting back too. As Chojiro, Sajin, and Iba handle an army of zombies and vampires with their Belmont powers, Sonia and Kiwi make their way to other parts for Soul Reapers who need some help. And one was near Squad Four headquarters where Yoruichi and Richard Belmont were resting up in. As Isane Hanataro, Iemura, Retsu, and the other helped out the injured ones...something does happen – to have Richard finally be waking up and healed to feel out on what's been happening so far even when he was sleepin and freed from the curse.
"Dracula's here!"
Yeah, he's back! But how will he take the news? Not good from the looks of it for Deku and Chainsaw Killer kept their eyes on Sonia on wherever she was going to while sending out more demons.
"This Belmont Girl's powers could be a problem, Chainsaw Killer." said the little bat. "I knew sending my cousin was a bad idea...whatever. We must complete with Lord Dracula's plans to watch over her. Let's keep on going, you, I won't make a mistake like Succubus and Jinpa did. Oh, no, I'm much better to complete the task for him. And the worlds will be all ours with our Lord much better than centuries ago. I love it."
Chainsaw Killer using his weapon to run, not good. Lots to come with other things to do.
