Chapter 33: Assassination Part 3

Cedric swings his sword at Will whom quickly ducks and dodges it. Will jumps up and hangs onto the ceiling and kicks Cedric in the face. Cedric backs away while Will lands back on the ground safely.

Will then yells as she charges over to Cedric while her right arm is charged with pink energy. She then uppercuts Cedric, which sends him flying in the air and smashes through the ceiling of the cargo car. Cedric then lands on the top of the car and Will jumps up and lands in front of him. She points her rapier at Cedric's face.

"It's over, Cedric. You lose." She said. Cedric grits his teeth angrily.

Meanwhile, Rukia screams in fury as she swings her zanpakuto and shot a wave of ice at The Brute. The Brute holds up his sword but the wave is too strong and he was shot back and falls to the ground.

The Brute recovers and gets back up. He assumes his fighting stance but Rukia shot three more waves of ice at him. The Brute swings his sword and breaks one of the waves but the second and third waves hit him and The Brute is shot back to the ground again.

The Brute gets up and looks at Rukia in rage. His servant is too strong. Growling, The Brute takes out his communicator and says to it, "Get me a boat! I'm coming back!"

"Yes sir." The submarine admiral's voice said.

The Brute then glares at Rukia and said, "You have failed me, Rukia Kuchiki."

"I'm sorry master. I really am." Rukia lowers her head sadly. Ricky then walks over to Rukia from behind and puts a hand on her shoulder in concern.

"Rukia…" Ricky simply said.

The Brute then turns his head and sees that a Faction boat coming over to the bridge. He turns back to Ricky and Rukia and yelled, "HAKUSHAKU!"

He shot another huge blast of black energy with his sword at the two.

"Duck!" Ricky yelled. He and Rukia quickly ducks and dodges the blast.

Meanwhile, Will looks up and Cedric turns his head around and they both gasp as they see the blast coming over to them. Will quickly ducks while Cedric's eyes grew large in horror.

The blast then hits Cedric and Cedric screams in pain as he gets shot back.

"CEDRIC!" Will yelled alarmed as she sees Cedric being shot.

After the blast dissipated, Will stood up and looked around. Cedric was nowhere in sight. Tears start to form in her eyes. Cedric…is dead. She fell to her knees and sobbed.

Meanwhile, The Brute jumps down from the train and lands on the boat. He turns back to the train and glares at Ricky and Rukia.

"This isn't over, Templar! We'll meet again! And you will pay for taking away my best servant!" The Brute yelled angrily.

Ricky frowns and yelled back, "Yeah! And I'll be waiting!"

The Brute turns his head away as the boat drives away from the bridge.

Ricky sighed, relief that it's all over. He turns to Rukia and sees her falling to her knees and sobbed. Ricky sighed again, kneels down and wraps an arm around Rukia's back.

The next day, the train finally arrives at a train station in Oma. Oma is a small town located in Shimokita District, Aomori, Japan. Every passenger, including Ricky's group and Lenalee then steps out of the train and gathers around.

"Guys, don't might but…I would like to come with you and help you fight against the Faction. After all, I'm sure you're all gonna need all the help you can get." Lenalee smiled.

"Sure, welcome to the group, Lenalee." Saber nods her head.

Lenalee then turns to Allen and the two smiled at each other. "So Allen, are you ready?" Lenalee asked.

"Yeah. And this time, we'll stay together." Allen then grabs Lenalee's hand and the two look at each other lovingly.

Meanwhile, Ricky wraps an arm around Will as the female bounty hunter hangs her head in sadness. "Ricky, I've decided that after we finish our mission, I will not go back to England. Because…England has too many sad memories. And I do not wish to recall them." She said sadly.

"I understand. I really do." Ricky nods in agreement. He then turns to Rukia who now puts on brown robes and covers her head with the robe's hood. "Are you ready to go back home?"

"Yes." Rukia said in determination. "I am. And I'll take you all to the Shinigami Council."

"Then let's go." Ricky said.

"Yeah! Let's go kick some more Faction butt!" Toph exclaimed happily as she pumps her fist in the air.

"And put an end to this war." Saber added. The others nod their heads and they all walk their way out of the train station.
