OK, more Spirit Reaper! OK, so I'm not going back to the Soul Society or to Toshiro and the rest. I'm going to go where Alice and the ones who went with her so we can see how they're doing. Basically, the two next chapters after this will be the same, since there was four portals. So, not much else to say. Also, I'm sorry about the week before. I wasn't able to post anything because I didn't have the time. So, I'll be posting this chapter and three others today. Now that that's out of the way, let's get started. Thanks for the reviews so far!

Old Enemies, New Orders
Alice slowly opened her eyes, the sun beating down on her. Man, I forgot how annoying the sun in this world could be in the morning. She thought, getting up. She looked around, seeing Shuhei, Drew and two more people who were strangers to her. She got up, walking over to Shuhei, shaking his shoulder.
"Hey, wake up." she said, seeing him opening his eyes.
"Captain Skysilver?" he asked, Alice smiling.
"Are you OK? Hurt anywhere?" she asked, Shuhei sitting up and shaking his head. "Good. Hey, know who the two of them are?" she said, pointing at the two she didn't recognize.
"Yeah. But, why are they here?" he asked, Alice narrowing her eyes.
"Well, if my theory is correct, then they might have been pulled in a portal as well. There was one when we came here leading to Hueco Mundo, I bet the reason Karin and Captain Hitsugaya disappeared was because of a portal, there might have been another one leading to the Menos Forest, underneath where Los Noches is and there might have been one in the world of the Living, which is where I guess those two come from. Four portals leading to four different places in one world." she said, Shuhei not getting a word of.
"Basically, if you're going to use Portal of Darkness, you need four different places to extract from or a big group of people in one place. Meaning we fell right into his hands." Drew said, Alice turning to him.
"You seem to know a lot about it, for someone who hasn't met him before." she said, narrowing her eyes at him. He got up, staring the same way back at her.
"Captain, I think we should get them up. Maybe they could explain a few things." Shuhei suggested, Alice nodding. She turned around,walking towards the two. If she really is her sister, then why is she so...different? He thought, getting up. He looked over at the two, seeing Shuhei trying to wake them.
"Hey, wake up." he said, the man shooting up and yawning as if he didn't have a care in the world. The woman however took a bit more cation, but was careless even so.
"Well, hello there. What a nice nap." he said, smiling like a idiot.
"Mind telling me why you're so calm? And how you got here?" Alice asked, Drew coming up behind them.
"Sure, Captain Skysilver." the woman said.
"Wait, how do you know my name?" she asked, the man holding his hat and smiling.
"We know all the Captains in the Soul Society. My name is Kisuke Urahara, I used to be the Captain of Squad 12." he said, getting a bit more serious now. Squad 12? He was the Captain of that crazy Squad? That sort of changes what I think of him. She thought, a bit surprised.
"And I'm Yoruichi Shihouin, I too used to be a Captain. I'm the former Captain of Squad 2." the woman introduced herself. Alice nodded at her, waiting for an explanation from them.
Flashback
A bit after Karin and Ichigo went into the Senkaimon, Yoruichi got a sudden chill down her spine.
"Hey, did you feel that?" she asked, Kisuke nodding.
"I don't know what it was, and I'd rather not know. Let's just wait and deal with it when it comes." he said, using his fan to hide his smile. Yoruichi nodded, the two walking up again. They saw three people in the room they walked into. Two of them were kids, while the last one was a grown man. They were getting ready something to drink for them.
"Hello boss, Yoruichi. Anything wrong?" the man asked, Yoruichi shaking her head.
"No, Tessai. Nothing unusual yet. But I have a feeling it will be." Yoruichi said, the man nodded. Tessai Tsukabishi was a tall, muscular, lightly tan-skinned man. His hair was cornrowed and he has a large handlebar mustache, which was connected to his long sideburns. He wore a pair of rectangular-shaped glasses. His attire consisted of a white muscle shirt with regular pants and a blue apron.
"Well, if there's anything I can do to help, let me know." he said, Yoruichi nodding.
"Hey, what about that girl? She really gets on my nerves, so she's not here I hope." a red haired boy said, Kisuke answering him.
"She's gone with Ichigo to the Soul Society to train with the new Captain, Alice Skysilver. I thought you knew that, Jinta." he said, the red haired boy, Jinta Hanakari , huffing. He had his hair slicked back, which he didn't have 17 months ago, and he wears a sleeveless blue shirt, edged with white. He wore gray pants that are no longer turned up like they used to be. He had also grown a considerable amount and looks a lot older than he did before.
"Yeah, well. I don't care about her so I didn't pay attention." he said, not very happy.
"I just hope she'll be OK." a shy, girl said.
"I'm sure she will be, Ururu. Why don't you and Jinta go and have a look around town. See if any Hollow show up." Kisuke said, the girl, Ururu , and Jinta nodding.
"You sure it's OK to send them out? We still don't know who or what is making that odd feeling." Yoruichi asked, Kisuke using his fan to hide a smirk.
"Sure, why not? Tessai, could you go and take care of their chores while they're out?" he asked, Tessai nodding and left the two alone. They were alone for quite a bit as well. Before they both suddenly felt like something wrong.
"Something has happened in the Soul Society. We should go and check it out." Yoruichi said, Kisuke nodding. They ran back down to the basement again and Kisuke was about to get ready to open a Senkaimon. But, right underneath their feet, a black portal opened, sucking them both in. As they fell, they felt dark Energy all around them and something staring at them. They started losing consciousness, both falling into a deep sleep.
When they woke up, they heard a female voice over their heads. Yoruichi opened her left eye, meeting two flaming eyes. She turned around on her belly, trying to get up. Kisuke looked at the girl upside down, turning as well to get a better look at her.
"Hey, you two OK?" she asked, Yoruichi nodding. Kisuke sighed and sat on his knees, crossing his arms.
"Where are we?" he asked, looking around at their surroundings. Yoruichi did the same thing, the girl looking at them who seemed confused with his question.
"Savia, where else?" she answered, Kisuke getting rather confused and curious.
"Savia? Is that the name of this world? I've heard of Hueco Mundo, but not Savia." he said, Yoruichi nodding.
"Hueco Mundo? Is that where you come from?" she asked, sitting down as well.
"Well, no. But, it is where out problems come from. We come from a town called Karakura Town." Yoruichi said, the girl looking at her.
"Karakura town, huh?" she thought to herself, looking her again. "Do you know a girl with black hair and a small fairy thing flying around with her?" she asked, Yoruichi nodding nearly instantly.
"Yeah, her name's Soi-Fon. She's from the Soul Society." she explained, Kisuke nodding now and again. The girl narrowed her eyes, more question in her head then less. But, she heard branches break, someone running towards them.
"We've got company." she said, getting up. She grabbed the hilt of her sword, which was placed like Rangiku had hers. Yoruichi and Kisuke got up as well, the three of them back to back. The ones who were running to them started coming out from the shadows of the trees, the sound of armor jumping up and down echoing around them. Elizabeth looked at them trying to figure out who they were.
"You three, put down any weapon you have on you and lay it on the ground far away from you." one of them said, Elizabeth narrowing her eyes. She then closed them, unhooking her sword from where it was, sheath and all. She threw it far away from her, Kisuke and Yoruichi looking at her with surprise. The solders started moving closer when she did, making her smirk. She opened her eyes as fast as lightning and they were burning.
"Get closer, you don't want to be far away from me now." she said, the two doing what she said and moved closer. She started focusing her Energy, making sure the solders didn't notice her. When they were about a meter from them, she unleashed the Energy and sent over half of them flying into the sky. She used one of her flames to get her sword back, hooking it back behind her. She made an opening in the flames, running through it and Yoruichi and Kisuke followed after her. They jumped up in the trees and started leaping forward from branch to branch.
"After that, we meet more solders, found Rukia and Ichigo and followed her to the city." Kisuke finished off. Alice and Shuhei had sat down as he kept explaining, Drew up in a tree trying to find out where they were.
"I see, so it was right what we thought. If one plans on using the Portal of Darkness, you have to use four at the same time or it won't work." she said, Shuhei nodding.
"What do we do now, Captain Skysilver?" Yoruichi asked, Alice closing her eyes. She stood up, trying to find Drew. She found him way up in the tallest tree, trying to find something it seemed. She started jumping up, Shuhei waiting with Kisuke and Yoruichi. She quickly got up to where he was, getting a good view of the place.
"Anything familiar?" she asked, Drew looking more closely.
"Yeah, but I doubt Elizabeth knows about this place. I found this place after she disappeared. There's two Masters here, Fire and Ice like you and Elizabeth. But, they use that to do whatever they damn want." he said, Alice narrowing her eyes.
"Let's go to the town. We need a place to reform and get information from each other. Also, we might find the two you mentioned." she explained, Drew nodding. They both jumped down and saw the others looking at something. They small ran up to them, trying to find what they were looking at.
"Hey, leave me alone!" they heard a kid say, Alice looking to her left.
"You have something we want, and you're gonna give it. Like it or not!" a person said above the kid.
"Oh no, already causing trouble. How mean can they get." Drew said, sighing. Alice narrowed her eyes, Flash Stepping a bit closer. Shuhei followed her, Drew slowly walking to where he knew she was going. Kisuke and Yoruichi followed him, not feeling like using Flash Step.
"No, this is a momentum of my mother! I'm not letting you have it!" the kid yelled, tears showing the corner of his eyes.
"Ha, like we care. Hand it over." the other one said, reaching her hand out.
"Hey, what do you two think you're doing?" Alice asked, scaring them. They turned to her, looking at her.
"Who the hell are you?" the first one asked, Alice thinking she was the one who used fire. Since she had such a fiery temper and no patient. Meaning the other one had to be the ice user.
"Someone who's not gonna let you do whatever you want." she said, making them both mad.
"How dare you! Do you know what type of Masters we are? Fire and Ice, so you'd better do what we say!" the fire user yelled, Alice getting annoyed. Shuhei came up behind her, Drew, Yoruichi and Kisuke catching up as well.
"What are you two doing this time?" Drew asked, sighing. Alice looked at him, then over at the other two. They seemed very annoyed by him appearing with her it seemed.
"What do you want, Drew? This has nothing to do with you." the one who used ice asked, Drew only closing his eyes.
"None of your business. Have you seen anyone else dressed in black kimono like these guys?" he asked, Shuhei looking over at him.
"He explained it to us while we were walking. There's a good chance Captain Hitsugaya or any other Soul Reaper were sent here." Yoruichi explained. Kisuke nodded, Shuhei and Alice nodding.
"Yeah, two of them in fact. A fat one and a girl who seemed to be hanging out with two Masters. But, why the hell would you want to know anything about them anyway?" the one who controlled fire asked, Alice narrowing her eyes.
"Where did you see them?" she asked, the other one smirking.
"If you tell this kid to give us what we want, we'll tell you." she said, Alice narrowing her eyes and drawing her Zanpaktou. She held it between the two of them, surprising them.
"Tell me where they are right now, or you'll find my blade where I want it." she threatened them, making them both a bit scared.
"Captain, calm down. I'm sure both Omaeda and Captain Soi-Fon are fine." Shuhei said, Alice cooling a bit down.
"Who and who?" the fire one asked.
"None of your business. Just tell us where you saw them and we'll leave you alone." she said, hearing them both whine a bit.
"We don't know where they are now, so get lost. And we've still got something to do with this kid." the ice one said, making Alice a bit mad.
"Well, well, what do we have here? A Captain, a Lieutenant and two former Captains. Plus, three Masters. Seems like we hit the Jackpot." they heard a boy say behind them. Alice looked behind them from the corner of her eye, seeing two young boys up in the trees.
"Yeah, how about we have a bit of fun?" the other boy said. Alice turned a bit, trying to see them more clearly.
"Wait a second, those two are..." Yoruichi started, not believing what she was seeing.
"What's wrong?" the Ice Master asked, Drew looking over at the two.
"Ruby, Crystal, you might wanna get out of here." Drew said, grabbing the hilt of his sword and Alice holding her sword closer to her side. The fire one, Ruby looked at him confused and very irritated. She had blazing hair like Elizabeth, but hers was in two pig tails and a lot shorter. Plus, it was ''tamer'' then hers. Her eyes were nearly as flaming as hers as well, but were still not like her. She was wearing a red dress, black thighs underneath that which went right above her knees. Her shoes were plain and red, nothing else really.
"We can take care of ourself, thank you very much." she snapped, the Ice user, Crystal, nodding. She had blue ice hair, same color eyes as Alice, but darker. She was wearing the same as Ruby, only her dress was blue and the tights were sea blue and the shoes ice blue. Her hair was the same style as well.
"That's not the problem here. Just get out of here, now." he said, Shuhei grabbing the hilt of Kazeshini. Ruby got annoyed and so did Crystal, but the kid got scared.
"Why don't we take care of the trembling kid first? It wouldn't be very nice of us to keep him terrified of us while we're fighting." the first one said, the boy scared and unable to move.
"Leave him and the other two out of this. I'm guessing your a Bount that I've read about in Squad 12's database." Alice said, Kisuke looking over at her. I'll have to ask her later. He thought, smirking.
"That's right, we're Ho and Ban. The youngest looking of us Bounts." the one with the red baseball cap, Ho, said. The one with the white hat, Ban was smiling and laughing a bit to himself. They looked like twins, so they were dressed rather similar. They were both wearing light brown sweatshirt, dark gray shorts with the pant legs rolled up and an orange undershirt. They both had blue hair, but Ban had bangs framing his face on either side.
"Ho and Ban, huh. Well, it doesn't really matter. Ready, Shuhei?" Alice asked, Shuhei nodding and drawing his sword.
"Are you sure you want to do that?" Ho asked, Alice narrowing her eyes.
"I'm wondering the same thing. Maybe you should look behind you." Ban said, Alice looking behind her from the corner of her eye.
"Gah, let me go!" she heard a yell. She completely turned and saw all three of them caught in some kind of water thing. The water on the outside looked like a eye with something inside of the water.
"A Doll!" Kisuke said, Yoruichi biting her lower lip.
"We told you, don't worry about us." Ban said, Ho finishing his sentence.
"As long as our Doll is able to fight, it doesn't matter if you come after us. Gunther!" he yelled, Ban joining.
"Guhl!" he yelled, the Doll, or Dolls, completely engulfing them in water. They started having trouble breathing, the kid already letting water in his body. Alice! Cyrilia yelled. I know, just relax. The Captain answered very calmly. She held her Zanpaktou towards the water, acting quickly.
"Spread your frosted wings, Cyrilia!" she yelled, a dragon made of ice forming above her. With just a roar, the dragon froze the water and let the three fall to the ground. The ice that shattered formed again into lashes and caught all of them before they hit the ground. The kid coughed up some water, Ruby and Crystal just trying to catch their breath.
"Impressive. It seems that our Doll won't be any match for your Zanpaktou. I wonder how this fight will end then." Ho said, ban laughing.
"Sting all enemies to death, Suzumebachi." Alice heard someone behind the two. She turned to them, seeing blood being spilled from their backs and a black haired woman in a black kimono and a white haori on her shoulders standing behind them.
"Captain Soi-Fon." She said, sheathing her Zanpaktou. Before Soi-Fon said anything in answer, she quickly stabbed them both in the same place again, the two turning to dust and disappearing. The Dolls were broken and the bottle caps that were in it was destroyed.
"Sorry for the wait. It took some time before we got here. We felt the Bounts Spiritual Pressure when they fought you and came here as fast as possible." she explained, Alice nodding. She looked around behind her, not spotting her Lieutenant anywhere.
"Where's Omaeda?" she asked, Soi-Fon closing her eyes and pointing behind her.
"What did you just say?" Alice heard a annoyed voice say. Uh oh. She thought, hearing another voice after that.
"You heard me, a fat man like you can't stand on his own two feet even if he tried to." she heard a very familiar voice snap back.
"I'm guessing Omaeda and the lightning Master aren't getting along." she asked, Soi-Fon nodding. "What about the Iron Master?" she asked, hearing a sigh behind the two and two heads getting knocked into each other. "Don't answer that." Alice sighed, Soi-Fon nodding.
"Well, this should be an interesting adventure. I wonder who else won't get along?" Yoruichi said, laughing a bit. Kisuke nodded and smiled, Drew only shaking his head.
"Is everyone from where you come from this reckless?" he asked, Kisuke slightly nodding. Alice smiled a bit, before hearing a Hell Butterfly above her. Soi-Fon heard it too, looking up. Alice held her and up, the Hell Butterfly landing on her finger.
"A message form Head Captain Yamamoto." she said, Shuhei narrowing his eyes and everyone moving closer. "This is an urgent message to all Squad Captains, including Captain Soi-Fon, Captain Kuchiki, Captain Hitsugaya and Captain Skysilver. A message form someone who lives in this world has been received, and all Captains are to find the one who sent it and bring him or her to the Soul Society. The reason for this is we need more information about this world, and he or she might be the most willing to provide it. He or she controls flame at will and can make it alive if he or she pleases. Find the one who can do that and bring her here as fast as possible. That is all." Alice said, saying the message to everyone. Ruby and Crystal shit their heads up when they mentioned the name ''Skysilver''. Then again, everyone in this world did.
"Someone who controls flame at will and can make it alive if he or she pleases. What about her?" Shuhei asked, pointing at Ruby.
"Yeah, she's a Fire Master. But she doesn't have the ability to make it come alive. The only one I know who can do that is Elizabeth. But, we don't know where she is right now. All we know is that she's with Toshiro, Karin and someone else who I don't know." Drew said, Alice smiling a bit.
"Since we got this message, Captain Hitsugaya should've gotten it as well. So he already knows about this and Karin might know Elizabeth abilities just because they're both Fire Masters." Alice said, Drew nodding.
"We should get to the town before it gets dark. I would advise the three of you do the same. And leave the poor kid alone." Kisuke said, Ruby and Crystal huffing and walking away. The kid got up and bowed before he ran a different route, afraid the two girls might want to attack him again. Elliot, Omaeda and Metal caught up tot he gang, the 9 of them walking towards the village.
OK, that's it for now. Again, sorry about last week. And to make sure I can keep track with my routine, I'm taking a week off from posting. I won't be posting another chapter before 25 of July after the ones I post today. So, I'll see you all in the next chapter in a week or so. Please leave a review if you liked it!
