Hey guys Flipkicks here and today I bring to you all is a new chapter for "The Reaper of Beacon", thank you guys for checking out the story and letting me know what you all thought of the previous chapter.
Sorry for again, not writing a new chapter ASAP but I have been working on my other stories and that mainly took up my time and also drawing out the plots for each of them.
I do not own neither series.
Hope
Beacon Academy, Beacon Tower
11:45 A.M.
'So, this is what its like?' Ichigo mutters to himself as he was seeing the inside of the tower. Multiple people working on their desks on communications to the other towers of the other regions, some students working on the computers while the other students are watching videos from either ViewTube or and their ScrollBooks. 'Better use this place to find some ideas for a cure here.' He made a mental note in his head as he then follows Weiss to Elevator.
Weiss walks through the grand, glowing lobby of the tower with pride, avoiding the central terminal and heading straight for the elevator doors, which slide open automatically and close when she's inside. The voice of the CCT AI is projected from a panel near the door.
"Hello. Welcome to the CCT. How may I help you?" The CCT AI asks politely to both Weiss and Ichigo.
"I'd like to go to the communications room, please." Weiss replies back to the CCT AI.
"Absolutely. Could you please place your Scroll on the terminal to verify your identity?" Weiss retrieves her Scroll and places it as directed, "Perfect! Thank you, Miss Schnee."
Upon the elevator's ascent, Weiss' expressions shifts from pleasant to serious. Upon entering the room, four symbols are seen on a computer - twin axes and wreaths, three flying swords pointing down, a spear and shield inside a fragmented circle, and a precise winged shape. Weiss and Ichigo walk up to the front desk where a holographic secretary appears in the seat.
"Welcome to the Beacon Cross Continental Transmit center. How may I help you?" The CCT AI once again asks the white haired heiress.
"I need to make a call to Schnee Company World Headquarters in Atlas." She stated her intentions to the AI
"Absolutely. If you could head over to Terminal 3, I'll patch you through." The CCT AI pointed to the terminal to her left.
"Thank you!" Weiss smiles and nods before walking over to her assigned cubicle-like computer, passing a few Beacon students in uniform - one of which is talking to her mother and asking how things are going back in Signal Academy.
"If you need me, I'll be on the other side." Ichigo says to her, "Have to check something out." She nodded her head as Ichigo would go to the right side of the room.
She the sits at her own display, taking a deep, unhappy breath to prepare for the call ahead. The face of a short-haired brunette appears on the monitor with the Schnee snowflake rotating behind her. She does not realize who she is talking to until she looks up.
"Thank you for calling the Atlas-" The operator's eyes widen in shock to see as she is talking to the heiress, "Oh! Miss Schnee! Good afternoon! Would you like me to patch you through to your father? I think your sister Winter might be here as well."
"No, thank you! I was actually wondering if you could find some files for me. I've compiled a short list."
Weiss produces her Scroll, placing it into a slot on the keyboard, creating a series of noises as the Operator looks at the data from her side of the screen.
"I see. If you don't mind... what may I ask is this for?"
"School project." She didn't want the operator to pick up what she was doing as the operator felt nervous.
"Um... There are some sensitive documents on this list, ma'am." She nervously didn't want the heiress to get in trouble as she would get into trouble for leaking it to her.
"Well, then, I'll be sure to treat them with care." Weiss stated with confidence in her voice, not showing a nervousness in her.
"Right... Very well." She says a bit nervous as more noises is heard from her end, "The data is being transferred to your Scroll now."
"Wonderful! That will be all, then."
"Are you sure you wouldn't like me to patch you through to your father before you go?" Weiss loses her smile, but quickly replaces it with a fake smile.
"Yes, I'm sure."
"Well, then... Have a nice day!" The call is dropped, and so too is Weiss' happy act, seen in the screen's reflection.
Couple Minute prior to her call
With Weiss taking a call to her family's company, Ichigo would look around the web for a possible cure for his situation. From one site to another, Ichigo couldn't find anything besides the end results of Dust poisoning.
'Damn...' He gritted his teeth together as everything site he has been on all leads to death. The home remedies that he searched will only work for a little while, not suppressing enough of the X amount of Dust in the body. For a guy of his size of 5'11, the maximum amount of time is 5 years and he spent 5 years of suppressing the Dust.
He searched that a guy of 5'5 to 5'7 could live up to 10 years with the Dust and that is the only time someone passed 5 years of having Dust inside of the body.
'There has to be a way!' He continues on searching on the web but what he didn't know is that Summer and Zangetsu were having a talk on how to save him.
"What do you mean Soul transfer?" Summer asks the Old Man form of Zangetsu, still confuse as to what the Zanpakuto means.
"Ichigo will learn that all Soul Reapers have the ability to 'Live On' through their friends bodies as his body rests but the soul will live on through his friends and helping them." Old Man Zangetsu stated to the former Huntress, "It will only happen once the Reaper is mortally injured. The Reaper will then choose who he wants to live on and if its all love ones, their feelings will be able to save the Soul. And if there is another soul in the body, he must put that soul into the person he is close with."
"And the main question is when?" Zangetsu would only shrug.
"He will know once his time is up Summer."
Weiss would see the half orange/white haired teen not pleased with his search on the web.
"Ichigo?" She tries to get his attention but to no avail as he is trying to find something for his cure. Weiss sees the anger in his eyes as he is desperately trying to find anything for a cure. "Ichigo!" She yells at him, to which spooked him and causing him to fall on the side.
"Damn Weiss! Making me go deaf on one ear." He picks on his left ear, still trying to make sure that he is able to hear.
"I was here for a good minute or 2 trying to get your attention but you were laser focused on the monitor." She places her hands on her hips, "Come on, we're going to meet up with the others." Dumbfounded, he didn't that the call would be that quick as he then stands up and follows her to the elevator. "Anyway, what were you so laser focused?"
"I..Found out that there is no cure for my condition as it is fatal." Her face turns sadden to hear that, "The max is 10 years if I was a bit shorter but for a guy like me, it's only 5 years." He then realizes that he didn't mean to make the mood all doom and gloom, "My bad Weiss. Didn't mean to make the mood bad." He apologizes to the heiress as they both get into the Elevator.
"It's fine Ichigo. You just want to find anything to save you." She says with a sad smile on her face as the elevator beings to descent, "We all promised to be friends with you and give you a good final year before you..." She stops at what she was gonna say next as Ichigo got the idea.
"Right..." He then thought of an 'interesting' idea, "After the 'mission' why don't we go on a date?" Her eyes widen in shock to hear that coming out of Ichigo's mouth. She never would have thought that he would ask her out on a date. She thought that it would be Jaune being persistent and she would give up and she would go on a date with him or even going on one with Neptune.
Her face started to blush from being somewhat embarrassed as she never would have thought to be in this position, to which made Ichigo smirk on her reaction.
"Why would you say such a thing?!"
"Because I thought it would also be a good chance to on good terms. I don't care if your from the Schnee family Weiss." He says to her as the elevator stops, opening the doors slowly, "Besides the attitude of a rich girl, you're an alright girl Weiss. You want to be different from your family but you also want to still bring honor to your family." He continues on as they exit the elevator and begin to leave the building, "Like I said Weiss, I'm good a being a people person."
And that ends the chapter guys! Sorry again for not being active but I have been spending my time on my other stories and working as well.
I bet that I will be getting questions as to why have I been on the Ichigo/Weiss relationship and not on the others. For that reason, the Schnee family unconditionally made everything go bad for Ichigo and having him spend time with Weiss will make things better for him and his 'encounter' with Winter in the next section of the story.
Ichigo will spend time with the other girls as the story progresses and there will be some surprise 'things' I have in plan.
The 'thing' that Zangetsu said to Summer in the story, the Soul Transfer, is something that will be further explained in the story and a unique 'feature' that Ichigo will show in the story.
I hope to hear what you guys think of the chapter and as always, I'll talk to you all later.
