After the intense battle and Ichigo's sudden summons to soul society by what Ayako could only guess were captains, including the one she k new from what she now understood as the dream cycle, Byakuya Kuchiki. she walked back from the store with some medical supplies to patch up the minor scratches and bruises she had received while trying to escape from the battle with the big man.
(again, I was so useless and unable to help them." she thought, hugging the bag tightly to her chest (why do I have to be the only one without power?) she continued. As she rounded the corner, taking a wide path around the destruction everyone had made last night, it didn't help that the damage went all the way up to what was left of Shirou's house, and currently, she was being escorted by Shirou and his servant.
"Excuse me?" a deep voice rang out, causing the three to stop and looked toward the voice and saw a black cat licking its paw.
"Au, yes?" Shirou answered, looking wary of the cat, which looked up and spoke.
"Im looking for a friend of mine; perhaps you've seen him?" The cat asked, hoping off the gate he was on and to land on Ayako's shoulder. "He's about this height, has striking orange hair, and has a permanent frown on his face," he asked, raising his paw as high above his head as possible. "You see, he's a bit of a handful, and I hear he's in a pickle," he said, hoping to the ground.
"You don't mean Ichigo by any chance, do you?" Ayako asked, confused about how to answer if this cat said yes.
"Ah, so you do know where he is." the cat said matter-of-factly. "So, can you show me where he is staying currently?" Before Shirou or Ayako could answer, Saber stepped in.
"Master, lady Mitsuzuri don't answer; there is something off about this cat," she said, remembering her sister using cats to send messages to people.
"Oh, don't worry. I'm not here to harm him, and I'm actually his teacher of sorts." the cat said, rubbing up against Saber's leg.
"Saber, let's hear him out. He seems to be telling the Truth." Shirou said sternly.
Soul Society Captains meeting hall.
Inaho and Kay bowed as the head captain hollered in anger, his spirit pressure pushing down on their shoulders.
"Idiots, I said to monitor him, not go attack a human, and you, Captain, I didn't give you permission to enter the world of the living!" His words boomed across the room, causing the others in the room to cover their ears, especially Rin. "And you, Byakuya allowing a human to enter the Soul Society with you unacceptable!" He shouted, slamming his staff on the ground.
"Sorry, head captain." The three said, cringing; as Ichigo listened, Jonathan spoke in his mind.
(Ichigo, when it comes time to explain, allow me to separate myself from your body so I can explain all, although it might be hard to explain.) Ichigo nodded in response. (Good.) she said.
"How come you couldn't do that before?" Ichigo mumbled to her but received no answer. Then he felt the head captain's gaze land on him.
"Now Substitute Soul Reaper Ichigo Kurosaki, can you explain why you were in the reishi dead zone and how you regained your soul reaper powers?" the old man asked, letting his voice slow and often.
"Oh right, I changed schools." the boy said, scratching the back of his head, causing everyone to nearly fall backward; the old man frowned slightly before asking again.
"And does that explain you regaining your power?" the Head Captain asked again.
...
"That I can explain." All eyes fell upon the girl with twin tails. "Sorry for the interruption, but I'm the most knowledgeable about this." She said before Soi Fon yelled.
"You insolent brat, no-" the Head Captain raised a hand.
"Am I to presume you are one of these mages that lieutenants Kuchiki and Abarai mentioned in their reports?" He asked, lowering his hand as she lowered his hand; she nodded yes before he spoke again. "Then speak, child."
"Have you heard of something called the holy grail war?" She asked expectantly.
"No." the Head Captain said, looking her in the eyes, his voice not giving anything away.
"Well then, let me enlighten you all," she said with a slight snark.
World of the living. Einzbern mansion.
Two women stand at the door giving their report to the young girl sitting at a large table munching on some sort of food.
"Berserker's god hand will be recharged in a matter of hours; both Archer and his Archer's master have vanished; Rider, her master one an unknown, has fallen at the hands of the anomaly Ichigo Kurosaki Who also disappeared. Lancer and his master are still at large, and last but not least, Saber and her master have taken up residents at what is left of his house for the moment."
"Ok, then when can we attack again?" the young girl asked, kicking her legs back and forth.
"It will probably be best to wait till things calm down and or to draw them here somehow." one of the women said.
"I see; well, how do you suggest we lure them in?" The young girl said, biting down on the last piece of toast in her hand.
"Saber's master has a strong urge to protect, so if you take one of his friends and threaten to hurt them."
Soul Society.
"Then do you have Proof of these clams?" the Head Captain asked both Ichigo and Rin opening an eye.
"I'm that proof." a feminine voice and a blue light filled the chamber before fading, revealing a young woman a similar age to Ichigo, long silver hair cascading down her back, her tanzanite eyes peering fearlessly at the old man with a royal dress and Quincy cross around her neck and in a flash all the captains except for the old man, Miyuri and Kenpachi had surrounded her blades. "I'm not here to attack; in fact, I can not do anything unless Ichigo wishes it," she said, placing her hands in the air.
"So, are you the so-called Servant that bonded with Ichigo?" Miyuri asked, giving a wicked smile that could give an average person the creeps, but the girl didn't even flinch.
"Yes, I am; I also happen to be Quincy, who lived prayer to the Quincy invasion of the Soul Society, Jonathan." She said, bowing her head slightly. The captains didn't back down though blades pressed against her. The Head Captain raised a hand again.
"do you have complete control of this Girl, substitute soul reaper Ichigo Kurosaki?" he asked with a stern look on his face.
"I sure hope I do. I'm kind of stuck with her until I'm done fighting in this holy grail war, Jonathan return," he said with another flash of light; she vanished.
"I see, so the girl is like a representation of what a bing long dead," Miyuri said, putting a hand on his chin.
World of living.
The cat walked behind the three, deep in thought, as she followed the three people.
(just like Kisuke said, no Reishi emanates from these three, but something is seeping from them, but I can't tell what it is.) she looked up as they passed by some totally destroyed houses, and ice littered the ground, obviously from a Zanpokuto. "What happened here? It looks like a battlefield?" she asked sarcastically. "And don't give me that earthquake excuse; remember, I trained Ichigo," she said.
"Umm, a large and powerful man who attacked my house, and we ended up taking the battle into the town." the redhead said, shifting slightly as they walked
"I see, so how powerful is this person?" the cat asked as she lunged up onto the metal railing and made her way up beside the blond.
"He can instantly regenerate after getting his torso obliterated," Ayako said. "And can manhandle people like Ichigo with ease." she continued, raising a hand.
(So instant regeneration and the ability to fight on par with Soul reapers.) she thought, flicking her tail back and forth as she did so.
World of the living. Kotomine church.
The fake priest looked at the video feed and re-round the footage, again and again, the orange-haired girl healing Shirou's wounds with a hand on his bottom lip.
"One more time," he said, the image rewinding again. He watched as the triangle-shaped shield blocking the berserker's strike then seamlessly changed to healing magic; now he couldn't care less about Gilgamesh's untimely demise; he had found something exciting.
"Master, I have returned." the voice of his second servant said, appearing holding his spear across his shoulders. "I still can't figure out about that Archer's identity, but I did manage to lose Berserker's master's familiar and." He said, sitting on the couch in front of his master.
"Good. I have confirmed the death of the rider and her master, so we failed in that regard, but I did get valuable information on Archer's team." the fake priest said, picking up a cup of tea.
"And what would that be." The Irishman man said closing one eye.
"they have an impressive healer that can block attacks from berserker and heal wounds that are fatal." The false priest said again. "And I would like to get her on our side.
???
"So this is how it's going to be, ha." a man dressed in an all-white military uniform and a black over cost said, sitting on a throne, his face shrouded in the shadows. "Very well, come take me on if you can slaves of those two." He said, looking at four-man their weapons drawn.
"King of Quince's, I trust you know why we've come?" One of the men said, lifting a hefty spear at the man sitting on the throne.
"yes, why else would members of the counter force come to my fortress other than to take me out." The man mocked, then suddenly one of the soldier's heads exploded, his body falling limp on the floor.
"you bastard!" one of them screamed, charging at the King before he, to was cut down by a seemingly unseen power. The man with the spear gritted his teeth.
(now I understand why Gaia sent four of us.) he thought before he felt a hot liquid hit his face. He turned his head to the side and wiped the liquid off, and saw the crimson color.
"I see we never had a chance. Did we?" he said, looking at the splattered remains behind him.
"You did not." the Quincy King said before the man exploded as well.
Omake 4# Kirei's savant encyclopedia
the priest sips a cup of tea before getting started.
"welcome back." He says, sipping his tea again. "This time, we will talk about the Lancer-class; this class is strong against the Archer class but weak to the Saber class as well as their master using command spells to tell them to kill themself." He points at the screen where a chibi Lancer is poking a chibi archer, then running from saber chasing after him swinging her sword wildly; then a chibi Kirei shows up and uses a command spell making the chibi a Lancer stab himself.
"Hay, you didn't say that about the other two knight classes." suddenly, Lancer burst into the room, and Kirei turned chibi and said.
"Because only Lancer masters make their servants." Kirei deadpans. "Any what makes a Lancer a Lancer; you guessed it, they used a spear to do something like best their teacher's twin sister before making her sleep with him or crush an entire Garrison of fully armed warriors so you could run away with the princess." He said, pointing at a chibi Lancer whacking a woman over the head with his spear and then running into a castle, then running back out with a woman following after him.
"Worth it and worth it." the Irishman says before both he And Kirei go chibi.
"By my command spell, I order Lancer to kill himself," Kirai says using a command spell.
"No, no, no, wait, I was just joking!" Lancer screams before stabbing himself with his spear.
"Anyway, that will be all for today tune in next the time when we will talk about the Rider class.
A/N
Ok, that was fun. I thought really hard and finally found how to make Kirei a villain and make it possible for Jonathan to separate from Ichigo for battles. Oh I also used actual lore for this one's Omake, and yes. Cu Chulain really did both those things.
Anyway, I need feedback on these chapters. I can't fix what I can't do and what I don't know about. Also I, what did you think of the Quincy King's little appearance? Now until next time, see you.
