Chapter 38: The Fight at the Bridge part 1

It was now 2 AM, and everybody is now sleeping, except Ricky. He still couldn't sleep well after his break-up with Ben. He hung his head sadly as he sat at the house's steps.

"Can't sleep, huh?" Ricky turns around and sees Talim with a concern look on her face.

"Oh, it's you. Why are you up?" Ricky asked.

"Because I still can't get over the fight you and Ben had."

"Oh yeah, sorry that ruin your dinner."

"It's alright." Talim then sat down next to him and noticed the sad expression on his face. "He must be really close to you, huh?"

"Yes. And…he's my only friend after my mother died." Ricky replied.

"I see." Talim then smiled and punches Ricky's shoulder.

"Ow, what the hell?" Ricky said in disbelief.

"Come on, it's simple. Just try and talk with him and say you're sorry. Or, at least now try to hang out with him more often. And I'm sure that way, Ben may slowly forgive you and be your friend again." Talim said.

Ricky smiled sadly. "Thanks Talim. That's a good idea."

"No problem. I can understand how people who lost and broke up with their lifelong friends."

The next day, everybody woke up as the sun rises up in the sky. Outside the house, Ichigo, Ricky and Talim are standing in front of Saber, Toph, Will, Allen, Lenalee, Ben, Rukia, Wall-E.

"Ricky and I will finish the rest of mission from here guys. So, you guys can stay here while we're gone." Ichigo said to Ricky's group.

Toph snorted as she folds her arms. "Fine, we'll stay here."

"Alright! More time for rest!" Will said happily as she pump her fists into the air.

"Is slacking all you ever like to do?" Lenalee asked Will as she raised an eyebrow.

"Maybe." Will smiled goofily as she shrugs her shoulders.

"Don't worry, we shouldn't be long." Ichigo then turns to Rukia and said to her, "Rukia, would you like to come with me?"

"What?" Rukia said surprised as she lifts her head up. "Um…yes. Of course."

"Ben?" Ricky asked softly to Ben as he walks up to him. Ben turns to him and frowned.

"What?" He sneered.

"I…I was wondering…if you could come with me. You know, like old times." Ricky smiled nervously.

Ben sighed heavily. "Alright, fine. But, doesn't mean that I'm coming along with you doesn't mean I now forgive you."

Ricky then looks up at the sky and notice the huge amount of fog. "It's getting foggy." He said in concern.

"Yeah, this amount of fog will be the perfect chance for our enemies to attack us on our way to the bridge. We'll have to be extra careful." Ichigo said. Ricky and Rukia nod their heads in agreement and the five walk their way to the bridge.

An hour later, they arrived at the bridge. And by the time they arrived at the bridge, the fog is getting thicker. Talim took a deep breath, and then smiled as she turns to Ichigo, Ricky, Rukia and Ben.

"Well guys, this is it. Thanks for all your help." Talim said to Ichigo, Ricky, Rukia and Ben.

"No problem. It's been a pleasure." Ichigo said as he bowed down.

Talim turns to Ricky and said, "And Ricky, good luck saving the world."

"Yes, I will." Ricky nods his head.

"Rukia, I'm sure you will be a great hero one day like Ichigo." Talim said to Rukia.

"Thank you, Talim." Rukia said as she bowed down as well.

"And Ben?"

"Yes?" Ben said.

"I hope your friendship with Ricky will be mended." Talim said as she ruffled his hair.

"Yeah, we'll see." Ben said softly as he turns his head away from Ricky. Ricky looks at Ben with a sad expression on his face. He really wished that he and Ben could be friends again, like in the past.

"Well, I guess I have to deliver the plans so that my people can continue building the bridge now. Thank you for everything."

"Good bye, Talim." Ichigo said. He, Ricky, Rukia and Ben then watched Talim walked away for a while. Suddenly, Soi Fon leapt out of the fog and landed in front of the girl. Talim gasped as Soi Fon quickly wraps an arm around her neck and smirked at Ichigo and the others.

"TALIM!" Ricky yelled alarmed.

"Wait, you're that girl who took away Grimmjow yesterday!" Ichigo yelled, recognizing Soi Fon.

"Yes, she is." Grimmjow said as he walks out of the fog and stands next to Soi Fon. "She's actually my partner and if she hasn't showed up in time, you would have finish me yesterday. And don't worry. We won't kill her…yet."

Soi Fon then unwraps her arm and pushes Talim over to Rukia, who quickly caught her while Ichigo, Ricky and Ben stand in front of the girls and get into their fighting stances as Ichigo and Ricky draw out their swords.

"What do you want, Grimmjow?!" Ichigo asked.

"A rematch, of course." Grimmjow smirked. "Only you and me, one on one."

"Fine." Ichigo narrows his eyes. He turns to Ricky. "Ricky, you and Ben take care of Soi Fon."

"Got it." Ricky said. He turns to Rukia. "Rukia, take care of Talim."

"Yes. Understood." Rukia nods her head as she draws out her sword as well.

Ricky and Ben then run over to Soi Fon and get into their fighting stances, preparing to fight with her. "Well Ben, this is our chance to fight together, huh?" Ricky asked Ben.

"Yeah. Of course." Ben said.

"This should be interesting." Soi Fon smiled calmly as she draws out her sword and it transformed into a long pointed stinger attached to her middle finger.

"What…is that?" Ricky widens his eyes as he looks at Soi Fon's weapon in awe.

"Get ready to experience my power." Soi Fon said as her smile broadens.

Meanwhile, Ichigo narrows his eyes as he holds his Zangetsu sword while Grimmjow just smile evilly at him. "I'm ready for you this time, Ichigo. So get ready to be defeated." Grimmjow said.

"I don't think so." Ichigo said. "I defeated you before, so I can defeat you again."

"Not this time."
