There was a figure emerging from the smoke. Like the Deatheaters it wore a long black cloak but unlike the Deatheaters its face was unmasked but it would have been better if it was. Vivid red slit-like eyes, with snake-like slits for a nose, its pale greenish face was the face of Voldemort staring at the cringing form of Harry Potter on the ground. He radiated pure evil.

Risa had pressed herself as hard as she could into the floor so as not to be seen and next to her Ichigo was doing the same thing. Everyone in the atrium seemed to have sensed the atmosphere because Greg wasn't asking a million questions. The six who had bound Bellatrix were hiding behind whatever surface they had stood on. If there was ever a time to fear death now was it. Voldemort killed, four hundred times worse than Kenpachi Zaraki.

The said captain could be felt oozing reiatsu just itching to fight but was being held back by another stronger force, the pink haired girl on his shoulder.

There were voices, Harry and Voldemort and Bellatrix, conversing no doubt. There were screams of pain, screams for forgiveness. Risa didn't dare look up and feared that every breath she took would be her last. Ichigo inched his hand over to hers and squeezed it hard.

Up on the balcony that overlooked the atrium Jen and Jules were pressed against the guard wall, like Risa afraid to move. Jen was stark white and her breathing was becoming increasingly shallow.

The remaining SRU members where hiding (for lack of a better term) behind and under the security desk.

"I sense," Voldemort said in his hissing voice, "there are uninvited guests at this little reunion. Would you please come out?"

Despite the request nobody moved, except for the few who were trembling. Voldemort raised his wand and pointed it at Harry.

"Avada Kedarva!" and a green light shot out from the end of his wand. Risa's hand went limp under Ichigo's and she was her palest yet. Up in the balcony Jen dropped her rifle.

There was screaming, anguished yells that came when task completion was snatched away upon the closing. Risa and the others didn't dare look up until they all heard Harry issue a single word: "Dumbledore?"

Risa peered up from behind the statue to see the headmaster locked in a stalemate with Voldemort.

"What do we do?" Greg asked Risa in a hushed voice.

"Nothing, there's nothing we can do," Risa said.

A battle broke out between Voldemort and Dumbledore, more spectacular than Kurosaki against Kuchiki. Dumbledore pointed his wand at the statues in the fountain and one by one they came to life. Seeing Voldemort distracted with Dumbledore, Risa and Ichigo took their chance and escaped to behind the security desk with the remaining SRU members.

"You kids alright?" Greg asked pushing his unit around to make room for the two of them. They both nodded. "That's good."

Sam poked his head up to see the battle but Ed grabbed him by the collar and dragged him back down.

There was more screaming and a giant flash of light that could be seen over the top of the security desk, the clattering of footsteps, and Jules's voice in the headset.

"Voldemort is gone, we're in the clear," she said. Slowly the SRU, Risa and Ichigo peeled themselves off each other and climbed over the security desk. Ichigo helped Risa over as she was still shaking slightly. Jules was climbing down the staircase leading up to the balcony supporting Jen as well as carrying both their rifles. Marcus jumped out from his hiding spot and sprinted over to them and took Jen from Jules, she seemed to recover as he fussed over her. Everyone else emerged from their hiding spots but the chatter was much too loud to belong to the twenty some odd people that had formed the original unit. That's when Risa realized that every member of the Ministry of Magic was standing in a giant circle staring at where Voldemort had been seconds before. The Minister of Magic, Fudge was beside himself.

"You-him, you-know-who what the…what the devil is going on here?" he stuttered pointing at Dumbledore and then Harry. "And who are they?" he added pointing at the Soul Reapers and then the SRU members.

"I will explain everything," Dumbledore promised picking up Harry, "in half and hour. I think Harry here needs these explanations the most." And with that he vanished. Fudge rounded on the next available people and rounded the leaders of the units. Reluctantly Greg, Risa and Byakuya stepped forward.

"Explain yourselves," Fudge ordered. Risa looked from Greg to Byakuya.

"I volunteered my unit to aid Potter in his mission. Potter thought that Voldemort…" there was a sharp intake of breath as she spoke his name. "…oh suck it up. Was holding Sirius Black captive in the DOM. So I organized a full fledged rescue unit…that's my side of the story."

"We received a text message from one of Uchimani's squad members earlier asking for back up and my unit responded to the call," Greg stepped in to tell another part of the story. "But the issue was that our unit was stationed in Canada and obviously this is England, so the member that contacted us set up a way to get us over here." He glanced at Risa asking permission to continue.

"So my member brought them through the Soul Society gates and got the SRU to England and they just were able to help us out, they hooked up the computers and Mr. Parker was able to tell me what was going on with the rest of my team while I was busy fighting someone else."

"Oh," said Fudge slightly dazed. "Ok, then you may leave I need some time to sort this out."

Risa looked from Byakuya to Greg and excused herself to go find out about her team members. Greg looked at Byakuya before he left to go check on his own team.

Jen had fully recovered from her episode and was talking to Jules about everything that had just happened. Sam meanwhile was talking to Marcus.

"So you guys are Canadian?" Marcus asked.

"Yeah, we had to go through this really weird Edo style town to get here. It was the weirdest thing. First this little white haired midget came out of the sky and led us through this gate thing and we were in the town and we went through another gate and were in England." Sam answered still befuddled by the whole thing.

Risa sat on the edge of the fountain she was hiding behind only twenty minutes ago. Ichigo spotted her and came over.

"Hey," he sounded drained both mentally and physically. Risa patted the space next to her and Ichigo sat down. "Some night."

"You can say that again," Risa muttered dipping her hand into the water and swirling it around. "Several injuries and one death."

"That's not so bad, the death part kinda sucks but it could have been a lot worse considering the wizarding world's Kenpachi Zaraki decided to crash our little battle party."

Despite everything that had just happened Risa laughed a small exhausted laugh.

"It would have been a lot better if the person we were supposed to rescue didn't die," she sighed. Ichigo looked at her. Her usually vivid blue eyes were pale and tired and her skin didn't have its usual glow. He brought his hand up and touched her face gently.

"When Parker told us that you and Emmerson were being held hostage by two Deatheaters I felt as if I would never see you again."

Risa looked into his dark brown eyes, they were honest. His hand on her face was so soft and she leaned in closer. He put his lips on hers; they were warmer than his hand on her face.

"Get a room!" Renji yelled from across the atrium. Both Ichigo and Risa stared at the annoying redheaded lieutenant.

"Fuck you Renji!" the both yelled. Risa laughed another exhausted laugh and Ichigo pecked her on the lips before they both got off the fountain and joined their team.
