OK, so more SR! I'm so sorry for all of you who had to wait! We didn't have internet for about four days, so I couldn't post anything. It annoyed me! I'm going to have to make it up by making a long chapter, so hope it will be good. Anyway, let's get this underway. Thanks for the reviews quietreaper and BloodyRose!

A Life Time Bond That's Never Been Broken
Elizabeth landed smoothly on the ground, burning a few Hollows in the proses. I need to figure out what these things are before I kill anymore. They don't seem human, nor do they seem like pure monsters. But a mix of a human soul and a soul filled with regret. Maybe I should just kill them, I haven't cared before if I kill human. She thought, slicing a few till she bumped her back against something. Or someone. She turned, meeting the girl again, who wasn't happy to see her.
"Just who are you? Don't get in my way!" she yelled, not paying attention to the enemies. Elizabeth narrowed her eyes, sending her flames behind the girl and killing a Hollow that was after her. The girl turned, a bit surprised by what Elizabeth just did. She ignored her gasping and did a back flip, killing a few more Hollows. I need to find Drake. I don't see any other option. She thought, doing a lot of jumping. She looked down at the ground, finally finding the Shadow Master.
"Drake!" she yelled, ending up behind him and killing a Hollow behind him. When Drake heard her voice, his eyes widen and he let out a he gasp.
"When did you get back?" he asked, looking at Elizabeth.
"I'll explain later, for now we need to get rid of these monsters. Marthera went to get rid of the portal, but we need to make sure no Hollows get in her way." Elizabeth ordered, Drake nodding. He used his powers to pull down a few of them, but he was still unable to use his full power. I wonder what's up with him. Either way, time for me to help out as well. She thought, swinging her sword. Why a blade? Last time I remember, she used two switchblades. I wonder where she's been and just how much about has changed. Drake thought, trying to see what else had changed about her. She ignored him, knowing he was surprised. She held her sword up towards the sky, the sun shining right on it. Once the blade started glowing on its own after a while, she held it at her left side.
"Time to burn." she said, stabbing the sword in the ground in front of her. "Flames from the Deep, bring down the monster filled with Evil. Punish all who dare hurt the weak and innocent." she whispered, the ground opening up and flames sprouting from it. What the hell is that? The black haired girl thought.
"Soi-Fon, I suggest you find Omaeda and get to higher ground. That flame will take as many Hollows as possible, and we're in the way." Drake said as he jumped to her, Soi-Fon nodding. She vanished in an instant and ended up behind the fat guy Elizabeth had helped earlier.
"Move it, we need to get to higher grounds." she said, pulling him from the jewel he had around his neck. The man beside him started climbing up his roof, wanting to stay near his house. "Is this good enough, Drake?" Soi-Fon asked, landing on the roof as well.
"Yeah, we can at least see what's going on from here." he said, the man who owned the house speaking up.
"Hey, is that girls name Elizabeth by any chance?" he asked, Drake nodding.
"Yeah, I'm not surprised you remember her." he said, Soi-Fon getting curious to what he meant. But a strong, sudden Energy got her attention, as she looked over to where the portal was. A woman about the same height as Drake was giving of a big amount of Energy. Who is that? She thought.
"Time to get things heated up. And get rid of this stupid thing." the woman said, jumping up. Elizabeth, you're up. She contacted her Master, Elizabeth smirking. She let go og the sword, which was still stabbed to the ground, and lifted her hand into the air.
"Marthera!" she yelled, the woman glowing and changing. Omaeda gasped, Gegetsuburi, Suzumebachi and ShadeLeo landing behind them.
"What the hell is going on?" Omaeda asked, rather confused.
"This," Drake started, Soi-Fon and Omaeda looking at him. "Is one of the most powerful Spirits alive. You're now seeing what a Spirit should look like." he explained, the two looking up again. Once the glow was gone, she was 10-15 times bigger, her wings had also gotten a lot bigger. And she was no longer in the form of a human, but back into a dragon. She roared as loud as she could, slightly shaking the village. She started filling her mouth with flames, some showing rather well.
"Flames of Rage." Elizabeth slowly said, her dragon letting out a burst of flames right into the portal. The portal tried to absorb the flames, but it was to powerful and to much for it to handle and it got burned to crisp. Some of the Hollows near it then were also burned, by either Marthera or Elizabeth. Once they had all been destroyed, they made sure the fire didn't hurt anyone else or destroy any houses. She closed her eyes and Marthera returned to her human form.
"Well, that went better then expected. However, we need to get moving." she whispered. Elizabeth nodded, looking up at Drake. She narrowed her eyes and started jumping up the mountain with Marthera right behind her.
"Wait!" Soi-Fon said, about to jump after them. But Drake caught her arm, shaking his head. "She has things she needs to take care of, as well as meeting someone after about 14 years." he said, Soi-Fon tilting her head. Elizabeth kept jumping through the forest, running as fast as she can. Marthera blazed into flames, disappearing so she wouldn't get in her way. She was already well on her way down the mountain, when she heard groaning and moaning form the forest fight bellow her. She jumped onto a tree, looking down bellow her. Bellow her she saw two people, them both looking rather grown up. The first one she saw was a purple haired woman, who for some reason reminded her of a cat. The second was a man with a green and white striped hat and a fan in his hand.
With Drew, Alice and Shuhei...
Drew was standing right outside of the entrance to Ironal, Alice and Shuhei right behind him. "So, this is Ironal?" Shuhei asked, Drew nodding. He started walking again, the two following him. They went through a small forest, not going through the city itself for some reason.
"Karin and and her friend are this way. It's annoying to go through this city, especially if there's new people around. You won't be left alone then." he explained. The two nodded, the three starting to walk again. They saw a small, metal house in the middle of nowhere. It wasn't anything special, but some kind of mix of yelling and screaming could be heard from inside. "What the heck? Wonder what's up." Drew said, Alice feeling three Soul Reapers and four Masters inside the house. Whoa, is there some kind of party we're missing? Helldra joked, Alice shaking her head mentally.
"You...you know where Alice Skysilver is?" a girl screamed, making Drew widen his eyes and Shuhei and Alice looking at each other.
"Who said that?" Shuhei asked, Drew looking at them.
"It sounded like a girl named Mariallie, who is usually like this. But..." he said, looking into Alice's eyes.
"What's wrong?" she asked, Drew narrowing his eyes.
"What's your name? Full name." he asked, not taking his eyes of her. She sighed and bit, closing her eyes.
"I was thinking how long it would take for you to ask that." she said, making Drew a bit confused. "You asked because of what your friends shouted, right?" she asked, Drew nodding. She opened her eyes and met his, seeing frustration in his eyes. "My names is Alice Skysilver, and don't ask anymore about it." she ordered, Drew's eyes clearly showing surprise and curiosity. He nodded and walked over to the house, looking inside before actually going in. He saw the girl he had called Mariallie standing over a man with long, black hair. A girl with black haired tied up was sighing and trying to hold Mariallie back, a man with metal skin sitting with closed eyes, a man with red hair and tattoos everywhere trying to calm Mariallie as well, a boy with white hair minding his own business and a girl with black haired tied in a pony tail on the back of her head sighing. Alice looked behind him, sighing.
"Captain Kuchiki, what's going on?" she asked, the man turning to her.
"So, you found your way here. Anything to report, Captain Skysilver?" he said, putting more effort into her name then the rest of the sentence. Mariallie looked over at her, trying to remember how she looked. The man with metal skin turned as well, but a lot more calm then the girl. The second girl who was sitting beside the other girl also turned, her eyes rather big. He's gonna get it for this. She thought, not very happy with the attention she's getting. Calm yourself, Alice. It's to be expected when you're the former Protector of this place. Besides, you're also a Captain. That makes it even more interesting for them. Cyrilia tried to calm her down, working rather well. She sighed, walking a bit more in.
"Don't even bother asking anything, because I won't answer. Anyway, are you two OK?" she said, looking at Karin and Toshiro. They both nodded, a bit surprised they all knew her. "Good, have you seen Lieutenant Matsumoto anywhere?" she asked, Toshiro looking at her.
"Rangiku? No, we haven't. Is she here too?" he asked, Alice nodding.
"She was one of the Soul Reapers including us that went looking for the two of you. Ichigo and Lieutenant Kuchiki are also here, but right now they're doing something else." she explained, Drew walking in and sitting beside Toshiro.
"Are they looking for something?" Karin asked, Alice shaking her head.
"They're looking for someone instead of me so I could show her and her friend where you two were." Drew explained, the man with the metal skin looking at him.
"Either way, they're fine." Shuhei said, standing behind his Captain. "It's good to see you're OK as well, Captain Hitsugaya and Karin." he said, the two nodding.
"By the way, where did Elliot go?" Drew asked, looking around.
"He got annoyed at me for some reason and just left." Toshiro said, Alice narrowing her eyes.
"I can see if I can find him, there's something that's got me interested anyway." she said, Karin smirking. She's just trying to avoid question. She's good and finding excuses. Karin thought. Well, she was known as the strongest Master before she left. FlameWolf pointed out, making her laugh mentally. I wonder how long she plans on keeping this secret. Toshiro thought, a bit more curious then Karin. If I know her as well as I think, then she won't be telling anyone before she gets a good enough reason. You already knew she was a Master of this world, so you shouldn't be curious. Timedrano said. I'm not, I'm thinking about how many question these people will have. He said, Hyourinmaru laughing along with Timedrano. Byakuya just stared after her, wondering what she was going to do.
"Captain Kuchiki?" Renji asked, seeing he was distracted by something.
"It's nothing. Let's explain what's going on now that we know where everyone is." he said, Toshiro and Karin nodding. While Alice was walking, she could swear she could feel something familiar near her. But it was very far away. Whatever it was, it made her feel a bit more calm. Could it that it's? She thought, shaking the thought away. No, it couldn't be. There's no way she's near here. She said, as she kept walking.
With Rangiku...
Rangiku was running through a forest, not wanting to go through the village itself. She thought she would create a commotion if she did. But the trees were thick and from what she thought, ugly. She kept going through it, hearing a waterfall or something. Water? Here? She thought. Water in this world is very easy to find, but very rare here in Ironal. So if anyone does find water, they keep it for themselves so they always have some. Watereliena explained, feeling rather annoyed. That's not nice! They should learn to share. Rangiku moaned, seeing the waterfall behind a tree near her. The water glittered in all the sunlight glowing through the trees, making look rather beautiful.
"Whoa!" she said, smiling as if she had never seen it before. Then again, she hadn't. She slowly waled out, wanting to see the beauty for some time.
"Hey, who do you think you are? You can't just walk here, you know." she heard someone say, grabbing the hilt of Haineko and looking around. She tried to find out where the person who had talked was, but couldn't see anyone. She didn't let her guard down though, just kept searching for any kind of Spiritual Pressure. "Tch, you're boring. I was hoping you would get scared and run away before a stranger killed you." he said, trying to make her scared.
"Well, I'm not like that. I've been in a lot of situations like this before, so I'm just fine." she said, trying to draw him out. She heard him sigh, and stepping on a branch. She quickly turned to where the sound came from, seeing blond har in between the branches. "Found you." she said, starting to unsheathe her Zanpaktou.
"You're not half bad, but just cool it. I'm not planing on fighting you." he said, walking out of the trees. He had a big smirk on his face for some reason, but Rangiku didn't really care if he did. She did calm herself a bit and sheathed her Zanpaktou completely and let go of the hilt. If he did attack, she always had Kido.
"Just who are you?" she asked, the boy answering.
"The name's Elliot Lightningzap, and I couldn't care less who you are." he said, Rangiku taking that opportunity to annoy him.
"Well, tough luck. My name is Rangiku Matsumoto, Lieutenant of Squad 10. Of course, you wouldn't know what I meant with that." she said, Elliot nearly taking the bait. But he had a lot of self control so he was barely able to resist the urge to send her to the moon. Rangiku smirked and calmed completely down, hearing a sort of whistling near her. She looked around, the sound coming from the water.
"Something up?" he asked, Rangiku nodding.
"Do you hear something? Like, whistling?" she asked, Elliot listening.
"Nope." he said, Rangiku staring at the water. Wait, is she hearing the water or something? Just who is this girl? He asked himself. A Master of Water, Elliot. And you should not insult her near water or she could drown you. A voice in his head said. Relax, Zapstrike. I had no plans on insulting her to begin with. Elliot told the voice, a Spirit appearing. It took the form of a mouse with lightning bolt patterns all over its body. It was big like any other Spirit, but it was one of the smaller and faster ones. Good. Zapstrike said, Elliot smirking mentally.
"Rangiku?" another voice said, getting their attention. This time though, Rangiku felt the voice was familiar and didn't grab Haineko. From the trees behind the two, came a girl with long, brown hair and a Captains haori.
"Captain Skysilver, is that you?" Rangiku asked, the girl nodding.
"Skysilver?" he gasped, the girl, Alice, sighing.
"Yes, for the third time already. Geez, am I really that unforgettable?" she asked herself, Rangiku tilting her head. "Never mind, Rangiku. Anyway, Captain Hitsugaya and Karin are in a house this way. Captain Kuchiki, Lieutenant Abarai and Lieutenant Hisagi are there as well." Alice explained, Rangiku jumping of joy.
"Yay, Captain and Karin are safe!" she yelled sort of. She ran past Elliot and Alice, she smiling and sighing.
"So, why didn't you come back earlier? Why did you leave in the first place, anyway?" Elliot asked, Alice's smile disappearing. Elliot thought it would be best not to say anything more on the matter, and asked something else instead. "Do you know where Elizabeth is?" he asked, Alice turning to him.
"Elizabeth? As in...my sister Elizabeth?" she asked, Elliot nodding.
"Yeah. She disappeared 17 months ago after defeating a Commander of Spirit Peace, destroying the organization. But a machine that was in the same room was about to explode and could have destroyed half of this world. She stayed behind and tried to contain the blow, successfully protecting the place." he explained. Alice looked up at the sun, covering over her eyes so she wouldn't be blinded. She smiled after a while, making Elliot a bis curious.
"Well, I can tell you she's fine and will sooner or later find her way here." she said, Elliot smirking. But their conversation quickly ended with a huge bang coming from the city gates. "What happened?" she asked, Elliot shaking his head.
"Only one way to find out." he said, the two running at full speed.
At the Opposite side of the Gates...
Toshiro and Karin ran as fast as they could, trying to keep up with Sharna and Mariallie. They had heard something at the other side of the city and were worried that the explosion at the cities Main Gates were a distraction.
"What if your wrong and it's not?" Toshiro asked, Sharna turning her head to answer.
"Then we'll know everyone is safe, but right now we don't. S o we'll just have to check." she answered, Karin agreeing. She also swear she heard something over there, and it made her restless. When they did arrive, they saw that Sharna and Mariallie were right. The explosion at the Main Gates were a distraction for the attack here. Sharna quickly made a small blade of ice appear, the ice around it smashing into million pieces. The hilt was black and ice blue, the blade itself silver. Mariallie held both her hands up in the air and wind surrounded them, making twin blades of wind. The blade was made of wind, so it didn't have any special color. The hilt was plain black as well. Toshiro drew Hyourinmaru from his back that he had already chained back where it should be and Karin started getting fire in her hands, ready to fight as well. The solders that were attacking quickly noticed them and went right into attack. Sharna fended of a few of them and tried to get to middle, Mariallie trying to get to the back. Toshiro and Karin took care of the ones they didn't in the front. They did quite well in the beginning, but there kept coming more and more solders. It made it very hard to fight for very long, and Karin wasn't used to using her powers this much yet. She started gasping for breath, Toshiro hearing her. He held his other hand out and focused his Energy into it. His hand started glowing, making the symbol of a Dragon appear.
"Timedrano." he whispered, trying to let only Karin hear him. The sword appeared, and Karin could hear Timedrano and Hyourinmaru roaring in unison inside Toshiro's mind.
"Not gonna let anyone of them hurt me, are you Toshiro?" she asked, Toshiro smirking.
"Of course not. I wouldn't be protecting you then, now would I?" he answered, stabbing the new sword in the ground. The blade let out a huge wave of Energy, making a few solders disappear. "Rain over the Frosted Heavens, Hyourinmaru!" he yelled, sending his Zanpaktou at a few of them too. Don't let lover boy have all the fun. FlameWolf complained, Karin nodding.
"FlameWolf." she said, sending flames at the dragon. It created a sort of barrier around it, making so that every solder it missed got burned to a crisp. But, even that didn't make the numbers go down. In fact, it made them go up. Sharna and Mariallie made their way back to the two, panting and gasping.
"This won't work. We're not getting anywhere like this." Mariallie said, the three nodding. The solders came to attack again, the three hoping this would end.
"Dragons Wrath!" someone yelled, sending out a lot of flame lances. Sharna and Mariallie just looked in surprise, Toshiro being careful and Karin in awe. Since she was a Fire Master, it was kind of instinct for her to be amazed. It burned the solders to ash in less then five seconds, taking care of a bunch of them was well. Someone landed in the middle of the remaining solders, ready to fight. "You picked the wrong people to start a fight with." the person said, making Sharna and Mariallie widen their eyes.
"Wait, is that...?" Sharna asked, Mariallie being as confused as her. The person smirked at their confusion and burned the rest of the solders. Once they were all gone, a girl with flaming eyes and blazing, red hair stood in the middle.
"Elizabeth!" they both yelled, seeming very happy.
"Who's she?" Karin asked, Toshiro shaking his head.
"Introductions will have to wait. Sharna and Mariallie, Drake is just past a few trees the way I came he's fighting as well. Go and help him. I'll take care of what's happening here." she ordered them, the two nodding and running towards where she pointed. "You two can try and keep up with me and we'll go and help with the attack at the Main Gates. I'm pretty sure they'll be needing help." she said, Toshiro and Karin nodding. She ran ahead of them, the two following as much as they could.
They kept running, Elizabeth not paying attention to see whether they were keeping up or not. In fact, she really didn't care, The safety of the city with people she knew in it was more important to her then strangers. You think that, but you'll end up helping them both in not too long. You always do that, stranger or not.Marthera said, Elizabeth nodding. Karin and Toshiro were keeping up, but Karin had used a lot of her Energy in fighting earlier so she was exhausted. But she refused to let them go on their own and help them. She would feel useless then, and she didn't want that. Toshiro knew she was tired and wanted to tell her to rest, but he knew she would be mad and sad at him if he did. They kept running until their way was blocked by a fallen building, people trapped behind and panicking.
"Damn, just what I need." Elizabeth said, very annoyed, She drew her blade and sent fire towards the building, slicing it in two and turning the buildings to rubble. The people behind thought it was a miracle, and she didn't blame them. "Everyone! Get to higher grounds and fast! Tell anyone and everyone you meet on the way to do the same, and make sure no one sees you. Hurry!" she commanded them, all of them doing what they were told. She ran in the opposite direction, Toshiro and Karin following. She's not planing on stopping. Why is she so determined to protect this place? Karin thought, but didn't wait for an answer.
Elizabeth ran a bit faster, forcing Toshiro and Karin to do the same. When they arrived near the gate, it was chaos. The solders had covered the entire place in rubble and killed a lot of innocent civilians. She looked around, trying to find someone in particular. Toshiro scanned the area as well, finding Byakuya and Renji fighting with Metal. Karin spotted them as well, seeing a solder above them ready to strike. She gasped a second before send fire right at him, knocking him down and turning him to ash. However, it cost her more Energy to do so she she nearly lost her balance.
"You need to stop doing that, you'll get worse." Toshiro said, Karin shaking her head. She persistent, but very reckless. She could die if she keeps that up. Elizabeth thought, seeing what had just happen. She's a Fire Master like you, the two of you have more in common then you think. Marthera said, Elizabeth nodding.
Byakuya looked over at them, seeing them turning and a huge supply of solders behind them. He held his sword in front of his face, ready to use his Zanpaktou.
"Scatter, Senbonzakura." he said, the sword turning into petals and heading towards the solders. They got cut and killed rather quickly, Elizabeth turning to him.
"Are you two OK?" Renji asked, Toshiro and Karin half nodding. Metal turned, a small smile appearing on his face. He looked up in the sky, seeing three, huge airships of sort flying above them. He looked closely, seeing more solders jumping out and using some kind of magic to land neatly on the ground. So, that's where they're coming from. We need to get rid of those things. He thought.
"Elizabeth, the solders are coming from 3 airships above us. Can you take care of them?" he asked, Elizabeth nodding and running towards it. She jumped into the air, flames appearing underneath her feet and she started skating in the air.
"What the?" Renji asked, dropping his guard.
"Growl, Haineko!" someone yelled in front of him, a sand of ash going behind him. He heard yelling and cries of pain behind him, seeing three solders dead. "You shouldn't let your guard down, Renji!" a girl scolded him, Toshiro's eyes widening.
"Rangiku!" he yelled, the woman coming out of the trees.
"Good to see you too, Captain!" she said, winking at him and Karin. Good, she's OK as well. I was worried about her. Karin sighed in relief. Now it's just you who has to be less reckless. FlameWolf said, Karin shaking her head. Not before this is done. She said, FlameWolf sighing. Two more people came, and another one from the city square.
"Everyone is in a safe place, like you ordered Captain Kuchiki." the man, Shuhei said, Byakuya nodding.
"Good, meaning we don't have to worry about these people's safety." Elliot said, the girl behind him nodding.
"Now what, Captain Skysilver?" Renji asked, Alice thinking.
"Well, now we need to go and get rid of these solders. Letting them any further into the city would be a bad idea." she ordered, the rest nodding.
Elizabeth kept skating the air, her blade ready. We have to cut them down in one blow each, then take care of the solders on the ground. She thought, Marthera roaring.
"Marthera!" she yelled, the symbol on her arm glowing and the dragon lose. Marthera took down two of them while Elizabeth got ready a huge attack to get rid of the last one. "Revenge of the Flame!" she yelled, her entire body bursting into flames. She pushed herself in the air, flying it the ship in dangerous speed. The ship exploded into flames, pushing Elizabeth down and forcing her to stop using Marthera in her form. She landed on the ground and sliced down a few more solders. She was gasping for breath a bit, the attack had taken more out of her then she thought. She worked her way back a bit, until her back hit something else. She turned her head, meeting ice blue colored eyes of a girl the same height as her.
"E-Elizabeth?" the girl asked, Elizabeth widening her eyes.
"Wait a sec, Alice?" she asked in the same voice. A solder came up behind her, making Elizabeth regain her focus. She went underneath Alice's arms and cut the solder's face nearly in two. "How about a reunion later." she said, Alice nodding. She turned again and went back to back with Elizabeth. They kept fighting the solders, defending each other from attacks and working rather well as a team. Alice's Lieutenant was very near her, seeing how well the two fought. That must be her sister. He thought, his Zanpaktou getting bored. If you're really that bored, come out here yourself and fight. I'll help Captain Skysilver. Shuhei sighed, Kazeshini smirking. He manifested himself and went wild on the solders, killing at least ten right of the bat. Shuhei worked his way to where his Captain was, killing a few near her.
"Captain, this is getting us nowhere. We need a different tactic." he said, Alice nodding. Elizabeth thought for a second, looking a bit in front of her. She saw someone else fighting as well, but all she saw was black hair.
"Listen to me." she said, the two looking at her. "Get everyone to a safe place and make sure no solder is near you. Don't be anywhere near this gate if you wish to live another day." she warned them, the two looking at each other but nodding. They Flash Stepped away and Elizabeth quickly made her way to where the boy was. He was gasping for breath a bit as well, but didn't show any sign of slowing down. She smirked, thinking of a way to get his attention. She used her blade to make a circle of flames around him, making him turn to where she was and smiling.
"Took you long enough to get back." he taunted, Elizabeth smirking.
"Good to see you too, Drew. Anyway, I need your help with something. How well can you control the power of Darkness?" she asked, making him curious.
"No one with the same element can hurt me, only Merlik." he said, Elizabeth nodding.
"I need you to make me go ''berserk'' and get away from here as quick as possible. Then get rid of what made me like that so I don't kill anyone of you." she said, making him wanting to refuse her order. But he knew she wasn't going to take no for an answer, so he did what he was told.
"I hope you know what you're getting yourself into." he said, covering her in complete Darkness. He pressed the Darkness into her body, making her eyes glow blood red. She roared, giving Drew a warning to high tail it out of there. He jumped very far back, Elizabeth's power going out of control. She gave one, big roar and killed every solder in front of her and behind her. She made sure not to go past the Main Gates, but some sparks of flame did. When Drew saw that she had done her work, he quickly pulled out all the Darkness, hurting her a bit. "Sorry, but I didn't dare take it easy after that show." he said, Elizabeth nodding.
"Heh, not bad Elizabeth. Maybe you staying alive was a problem after all." she heard someone say, looking on front of her. There, stood a man in a black cape and scars all over his face.
"You're the one from over a year ago. Just who are you?" she asked, the man smirking.
"Maybe you should ask why I'm here. You do know that I'm here for a reason, right?" he asked, Elizabeth's eyes widening a bit. He smirked a bit and disappeared in thin air, making Elizabeth run as fast as she could back the the Main Gate, Drew right behind her. When they arrived, the man appeared as well "You're quick. Not half bad." he complimented her, but she didn't say anything. "Now, maybe I should do what I came for so you won't have to wait much longer." he said, holding his hands up. He made four portals appear, one near Metal and Elliot, another with Alice and Shuhei, the third with Byakuya and Renji and the last one with Karin and Toshiro.
"What are you planing?" Elizabeth asked, the man smirking. The portals started sucking in whoever was near it, Karin and Toshiro being in most danger since it was only the two of them. Elizabeth turned and bit her lip, running towards them.
"Elizabeth!" Drew yelled, trying to follow her. But the portal that was near Shuhei and Alice started pulling him in as well, the three already gone. However, two people jumped after them in high speed. Elliot and Metal tried to keep their ground, but it was hard. And when a flying, fat guy came and knocked them over, it didn't help. Two more people jumped after them. Byakuya and Renji didn't know what to do so they also got sucked in, a small girl following them along with two more people. Karin and Toshiro were holding onto Timedrano's blade, but Toshiro soon didn't have enough Energy to keep it up they them, Rangiku jumping to her Captain and Elizabeth got sucked in. Another person jumped in after them.
"They'll all be dead before too long." the man said, laughing and disappearing into the Darkness.
OK, I'll end it here. Hope it's long enough. I was persistent on finishing this chapter fast, so I was up nearly all night writing it. Again, I'm so sorry for all of you who had to wait for this to come out, I really hope something like this won't happen again. Because I enjoy writing this for you to read as I hope you enjoy reading it. And I actually keep hoping the week will son be over so you could read it. Either way, if there's something I could do better, then send me advise by posting a review. See you next chapter!
