Chapter 5:
That night, Pain, Konan, and Jessica were walking down from the mountain entering Taverley.
"Well didn't find shit." Pain said.
"Something feels so off though." Konan said.
Pain suddenly heard groaning nearby and he held the torch up.
"Someone there?" Pain asked looking into the darkness behind a building.
The three looked and noticed a deceased man with worms out of his cheek creeping toward them with glowing palms with magical burst power.
"If it touches us it will kill us." Konan said noticing the palms.
"Damn." Pain said.
Pain sent a Shinra Tensei into the zombie's stomach and making its body fall apart.
"The head the head." Konan said.
Pain did it again and toward the head making it explode.
"Zombies are here, I thought they'd be in the sewers or somewhere tainted with darkness." Pain said.
"Guys." Jessica said pointing behind them.
They looked back seeing many zombies coming from the mountain.
"We didn't see them." Konan said frowning.
"They must have came from somewhere." Pain said sending another Shinra Tensei out at two of them.
"Warn the town!" Jessica yelled.
At a cliff edge on the mountain, Furido, Fuen, Fudo, and Fuka was looking down at Taverley and the zombies overrunning the town and flames and smoke beginning to appear in certain places.
Furido smirked and leaped down onto the snowy soil and skidded down the mountain with the other three following.
"I will find Aizen." Furido said once they got to the base of the mountain and ran into Taverley.
Druids were fighting against zombies along with mages and warriors that were visiting that region.
Aizen ran out of the inn and looked at the chaos going on.
"The bastard did it." Aizen said.
"Sir, orders?" Ulquiorra asked.
"Kill these things." Aizen said running off one direction while Ulquiorra and Grimmjow ran to the south.
Aizen looked around and heard some banging inside of the restaurant nearby and crashed through the window looking around.
Aizen noticed Fuka inside finishing her kill of a Druid.
"Brother." Fuka said with a grin.
"Fuka." Aizen said frowning.
"I was shocked to see the girl you are sleeping with. Long Red hair, aquamarine eyes like mine. It makes me curious if you had a thing for me in the past." Fuka said placing a hand on her hip looking at him.
Aizen pulled his sword out.
"I don't want to kill you but I have a mission to rule." Aizen said.
Fuka just chuckled and held her hands out toward him creating two water spheres that grow and widen making a wall of water.
"Think that's going to-" Aizen began to say.
The wall of water slammed right into him making him fly over tables and chairs and slowly getting up rubbing his shoulder bringing out his sword.
"I should have seen that coming." Aizen thought to himself.
Aizen ran toward her and swung his blade at her but she kept evading it easily while blowing a kiss toward him which was a heart shape flame that he ducked away from.
Outside on the street, Grimmjow and Ulquiorra were slicing down zombies left to right.
"We got too many." Grimmjow said noticing many more coming.
Suddenly they heard a horn and coming from the north was Anlaf and his soldiers as well ass Trolls with them running into Taverley attacking the zombies.
"Heh, reinforcements arrived." Grimmjow said.
"Grimmjow, over there." Ulquiorra said pointing to Fudo who was approaching them.
Fudo ran toward Ulquiorra with what looked like a wave of energy around his fists and he swung his fist at Ulquiorra who dodged it and his fist instead hit the stone rock behind him making it shatter into dust.
Grimmjow swung his blade and his blade stopped at Fudo's wrist.
Fudo just smirked and grabbed Grimmjows blade tugging it out of his hands.
Suddenly Ulquiorra's fist began to spark read and he held it toward Fudo.
"Fist bump?" Grimmjow thought.
Suddenly there was a hole right through Fudo's chest.
"Bala, built enough spiritual energy in my fist and launched it like a bullet." Ulquiorra said.
Fudo stood there and then fell backwards dead on spot.
"Shit man." Grimmjow said.
Nearby, Pain and Konan were attacking zombies left and right with trolls coming in to help them.
"I guess Aizen got more allies." Pain said.
A huge chunk of rock smashed into Pain knocking him into a building.
"Damn it!" Konan yelled.
Fuen approached with large clusters of rock flying passed her toward Konan who hid behind a tree to evade them.
Konan's paper ability flew out of her back and torn up her robe and fluttered them around Fuen to which surprised her of such a power.
"Detonate." Konan said.
The paper had symbols meaning explosive tags and suddenly they all blew up around Fuen completely destroying her.
Konan ran over and helped Pain up.
Two soldiers and a Troll ran over.
"Tend to him, we can handle this side." One soldier said.
Konan nodded and dragged pain further inside the building to tend to him.
Furido was walking the street stabbing soldiers left and right with his staff and then was ambushed by Jessica who sent a flame wall spell right in front of him to stop him from going further.
"So, Aizen's girlfriend!" Furido shouted looking at Jessica who approached.
"You know him?" Jessica asked.
"Of course I do! I raised him!" Furido chuckled and gripped his staff tightly.
"You're his dad?" Jessica asked.
"I might as well be! Found him when he was three months old! Yet he didn't want to join me, now look around! See this! We could use the dead to our advantage!" Furido shouted.
"Join you...?" Jessica asked confused.
"To rule the planet, one day the boy just ups and leaves us and goes to do it by himself. Don't know what happened but what I do know is you are standing in my way. Move." Furido said.
Jessica kept standing her ground.
Furido just sighed and spun his staff and lunged at her swinging it.
Jessica parried it and immediately coiled her blade and sent a blaze of ice shards right into Furido's stomach out of his chest.
"Ugh!?" Furido coughed up blood.
Jessica gripped onto him and lowered him to the ground slowly.
"I need you alive I'm afraid." Jessica said ready to cast a healing spell.
Furido grabbed her wrist looking at her.
"They won't lock me up, they will execute me. Either way, I am dead." Furido said to her.
"You... aren't mad?" Jessica asked confused.
"Hahaha... silly girl. I knew my day would come. I just wanted to see Aizen one final time. All of this that you see? This was my plan to rule this planet with the dead, but I guess Aizen's plan succeeded in mine. Unity is what he is using to conquer." Furido said.
Furido started to get dizzy from the loss of blood.
"Tell Aizen, I don't know what changed his line of thought but I have always loved him like a son. I might not be his father, but I am his daddy." Furido said chuckling.
Furido's chuckling softened and then he was gone.
Jessica held him and though she was sad she was still confused about why this was happening and what changed Aizen's mind so long ago. Then she remembered the Plague Doctor and wondered if he had something to do with it.
Meanwhile, inside the restaurant, it was burning from the inside with Fuka's element powers going everywhere and both were upstairs.
Aizen swung his blade missing her and she sent a powerful gust of air that cut his chest up and launched him through the roof and landing onto the roof near the chimney.
Fuka leaped up smirking at him.
Aizen kicked his sword into the air and then kicked it again to spin and slice into Fuka's shoulder making her scream.
Aizen got up to his feet quickly running at her.
Fuka rose her left hand up ready to launch another attack until Aizen gripped his hilt and sliced his sword down across from her shoulder to the other side of her waist splitting her in half.
Fuka's lower half fell over while Aizen kept ahold of her upper body.
Fuka bled out of her mouth looking at Aizen in shock trying to gasp for air.
Aizen looked at her and sighed.
"I'm sorry Fuka." Aizen said and then grabbed her head and twisted it hard breaking her neck.
Aizen let her body fall and her blood covered him and his outfit.
Aizen leaped off the roof and watched as the soldiers and Trolls were finishing off the rest of the zombies and at his friends helping them.
Aizen then noticed nearby, Jessica and Furido.
"Are you okay!" Aizen shouted running up to her.
Jessica kept silent.
"What's going on?" Aizen asked touching her head.
"He thought of you as a son. Told me he loved you like a son. He may of not been your father, but he was your daddy." Jessica said weakly to him.
Aizen looked at her and then to Furido's body and back to Jessica.
"Come on, the battle is almost over, we need to check on anyone who needs assistance." Aizen said.
Jessica nodded and slowly got up and left to find Pain and Konan.
Aizen stood there alone looking at Furido's body and fell to his knees looking at him.
"Thank you, dad." Aizen said softly.
Aizen put his hand on Furido's forehead for a moment and then took it off nodding to himself and standing back up running off to slice down the last remnants of zombies.
Down south at the Taverley pier, Grimmjow was looking around for any more zombies only to find two teenagers looking at Grimmjow with grins on their faces.
"What are you kids all smug about?" Grimmjow asked.
Grimmjow sensed something was wrong, these two weren't zombies but he could sense their spiritual pressure.
"We are smug because there is going to be an accident." The one said.
Both of them pulled out some bottle caps and Grimmjow noticed that they have their sealed soul power in them, objects.
Those bottle caps move and forming out of them was water-like creatures that then attached to the ocean on each side of them growing in power.
"Oh shit." Grimmjow said in shock.
The two water monsters walk toward Grimmjow.
Grimmjow noticed the bottle caps in them and knew he had to destroy those to destroy them.
"What are you going to do chum!" One of the teenagers said laughing.
"What you get for fucking with the Bounts!" The other said.
Grimmjow cut his finger and swing his hand up making a clutched grip stance in the air.
The two young Bounts look at him confused and even the water monsters don't know what he was doing.
"Gran Rey Cero." Grimmjow said.
A blue sphere of spiritual energy appeared in his palm and then turned into a crazy static of an energy ball just ready to explode.
Grimmjow launched his hand forward and threw it right passed them and immediately after it disappeared, the pier the teens and the monsters evaporate and the ocean in its path boiled off the heat and eventually stopped boiling.
"Kid's nowadays are so cocky." Grimmjow said.
Grimmjow thought for a moment on the bottle caps and sealing their energy in items.
"I got to let Aizen know." Grimmjow said to himself and walked back toward Taverley.
As he walked back he noticed the fighting was over and some buildings were damaged or on fire. He saw Ulquiorra nearby helping carry Pain who was injured and Aizen talking to Konan and following up behind. Grimmjow grunted and followed up behind them.
"Aizen when you get time I got to tell you something." Grimmjow said.
"Right, for now, we tend to Pain." Aizen said.
"Pain in the ass most likely..." Grimmjow grumbled.
"I heard that!" Pain yelled.
