In Fairy Tail…
Everyone was worried. Natsu had suddenly disappeared and there was no sign of Lucy. They had just seen the message from Gaap. Then, the doors slam open.
"Natsu!" Everyone cried seeing the fire dragon slayer. "Where's Lucy!" Everyone then stared at Natsu.
"Don't worry." Natsu began. "She's fine." Natsu explained what had happened to the Guild. Everyone was a bit sceptical about sending ten members of Fairy Tail to join the Legion. Just then a new person entered the Guild.
"Having trouble assembling your group Dragneel?" Natsu turned around to see Hikari. Just then, Mavis appeared and gave Hikari a bear hug. After letting her go, Hikari did something that Mavis nor the rest of the guild was expecting. Hikari got down on her hands and knees. "Master. I know I am asking for a lot, but I need this guild's help. I know I'm no longer a member and…"
"Enough!" Mavis cut her off roughly. "This is not like you. Lift your head." Hikari looked up at the Master. "I will allow Natsu and his team to go with you." Everyone looked at the Master and nodded. Hikari looked around the guild to see Natsu with his huge smile. "I know you must be afraid of this Gaap, and you have done a great job at hiding your fear." Mavis placed a hand on Hikari's shoulder to grab her attention. "Remember this. You will always be a member of Fairy Tail." Hikari could help but smile as she lifted herself of the ground and readjusted her cloak.
"I guess we should be going. Are you ready Dragneel?" Natsu nodded. His team consisted of Lucy, Gray, Erza, Gajeel, Wendy, Juvia, Levy, Mirajane, the three exceeds, and himself. "Lets go." The group felt themselves being transported and waved good bye to their friends. Hikari felt a weird sensation on her left hand. She removed her black glove to see a white Fairy Tail guild mark. It was the same one she had removed when she left the guild. She looked over to Mavis who gave her a bright smile. Hikari simply smirked as she put the glove back on.
In Konoha…
Naruto was explaining the events that had happened to him and told the Hokage and how Rookie 9 should join the Legion. Everyone was doubtful on the matter.
"Naruto. You are requesting more than ten of some of my best ninjas should go and leave Konoha." Lady Tsunade started. "It's too much of a request." Naruto was not about to let up.
"I understand your concern Lady Hokage, but I need them." Everyone turned around to see Hikari standing in the doorway. Everyone's eyes, except Naruto's went wide. They had heard the stories of Hikari after the war. "There is no way for us to win against Gaap without getting a team strong enough to defeat him." Hikari walked to the middle of the room and slightly bowed in respect. "Please Lady Hokage, I can't do this alone."Tsunade looked hesitant. There was an awkward silence between everyone.
"I am not going to say I like the idea of sending all of my best ninjas out, but..." Tsunade released a heavy sign. "I will allow it. Rookie 9! This is your mission, join the Legion and defeat this new found enemy." All the members of Rookie 9 set out to pack their things for the adventure that lies ahead of them. They all met Hikari at the front gate. Tsunade walked up to Hikari. "Will they be alright?" Hikari smirked as she saw Naruto and Kiba arguing about who will be Hokage first. They stopped arguing when Sakura hit both of them on the head.
"I have a feeling they will be just fine." Hikari turned to Tsunade and bowed. "Well, it's time for us to leave." Hikari walked up to the gang and a sudden light surrounded them. The gang felt themselves begin to suspend in mid air before they completely disappeared. Tsunade simply chuckled and turned around and headed back to her office.
"At the least there will be some peace in the village."
In the Soul Society...
Ichigo was standing before the 13 captains with the lieutenants behind them. Ichigo explained what happen with Gaap.
"How problematic." signed Head Captain Shunsui Kyōraku. "I honestly thought we would be in the clear for a longer time than this."
"Why should we even help?" asked Captain Hitsugaya. "Sure they helped us with the Quincy but this seem a bit out of our reach."
"I agree." interrupted Captain Kuchiki. "We have no real reason to join this so called organization and defeat an enemy who isn't typical for our standards." There was lots of talking between the captains, most of them agreeing with Captain Kuchiki.
"Surely you soul repears are not that clueless." Everyone turned their heads to see Hikari walking towards them. "If I'm correct, you saw the threatening message that Gaap sent out." Hikari stopped dead in her tracks in the middle of the room. "You can't tell me you aren't the least bit interested." There were a few murmurs going around the room before the Head Captain decided to speak up.
"Surely you can understand our doubts Head Commander. We would be giving away some of our strongest reapers to fight some unknown enemy." The Head Captain stood up from his seat. "Besides, why should we trust you." Hikari simply smirked and gave him her response.
"Why not?" Such a simple question that did have an answer. There was an awkward silence until the Head Captain chuckled.
"You are very convincing Head Commander. I accept your request." With that, Ichigo, Rukia, Renji, Chad, Uryū, Rangiku, Hitsugaya, Yoruichi, Kisuke, Hiyori, and Kon where chosen for the mission and packed their things.
"You're going where?" Ichigo's father was yelling at Ichigo who was packing his bags. His sisters stood outside the bedroom door and watched the scene unfold.
"I told you. I was invited to a summer camp for a couple of months. I'll be back before school starts." This did not, however, stop Ichigo's dad.
"There is no way I'm letting you go. Where is this place? Who is going to supervise you? Do I even know them?" Ichigo father continue with his rant when Karin heard the door bell ring. She opened the door to see a woman with a casual shirt, jeans, black gloves, and a baseball cap. The woman had long black hair and a big smile.
"Hello." The woman said. "My name is Hikari. I'm here to pick up Ichigo for his summer camp." As if on cue, Ichigo's dad came out with Ichigo in a head lock. He then saw Hikari at the door and instantly let go of Ichigo.
"So you're the pretty lady who will be taking care of my son?" The kids sweat dropped at their dad's attempt to flirt. "The name is Isshin Kurosaki." Hikari simply smiled and nodded. "Well what are you waiting for Ichigo? Go pack!" Ichigo muttered a few curse words including the word pervert under his breath and went back to his room. "Oh Masaki! Our son is ready to go places on his own. How tragic." Karin and Yuzu face palmed as their father continues to hug the huge portrait. Karin was about to apologize to Hikari about her father's behaviors but she noticed that Hikari was softly staring at the portrait. Ichigo finished packing and said good bye to his family. Ichigo followed Hikari as they left the area. It was sunset now and the wind started to pick up.
"Are you always this quiet?" Ichigo asked as he stared at the orange sky.
"Your mother was a great woman." Ichigo was slightly startled by the sudden compliment. "I can tell by the look in your eyes. She must have been a very important person." Hikari turned her attention to the sky and smiled. "May she rest in peace." They met up with the others. They all started to chat as they waited to be pick up. Just before they were transported, the wind picked up and took Hikari's hat with it. Hikari was surprised at first, but then she smiled again. Hikari saw Issihin grab her hat in his soul reaper form. Hikari saw him exam the hat. Hikari understood his doubtfulness, once having been a parent herself. Hikari simply pretended to not notice and turned around.
"Oh well."
At some random port...
Luffy and the others were collecting supplies for their trip. The market was full of people who were buying charms, food, and even beer.
"Wow. This place is packed." Zoro commented with irritation as he had a hard time squeezing through the crowd. Suddenly, there was a scream and all of the people began to run and shattered in fear.
"What's going on?" asked Chopper as he was being trampled by the crowd. Luffy stretched his head up so he could see over the people. It was some marines. More specifically Smoker and Strawberry. They were lifting a little boy by the collar of his shirt.
"You little shit! You need to watch where you are going!" Smoker shouted as the boy was pleading him to let him go.
"You've made a horrible mistake in trying to rob us kid." Strawberry followed with a calmer yet more menacing tone.
"Since when do they work together?" Sanji questioned. Smoker and Strawberry looked to see the Straw Hat Pirates. They both flashed shit-eating grins.
"Well if it isn't Luffy D. Monkey." Smoker approached the group and drags the boy on the ground will he walks. "It's been far to long hasn't it."
"Put the boy down!" Luffy shouted. Smoker smirked as he raised the boy and then threw him to the side.
"Stawberry. Would you might taking care of that little shit?" Smoker grabbed his weapon with a big smile on his face. Strawberry simply nodded as he walked over to the boy.
"Oh no you don't!" Luffy ran over to the boy only to be kicked away by Smoker. The rest of the crew got into their defense stances. Strawberry lifted his sword in the air, ready to strike the boy. "No!" Strawberry's sword went straight down only to break in half. Strawberry's eyes widened as he saw a figure in a black cloak with a hood that covered their face in his way.'Impossible!' Strawberry thought. 'My sword broke on contact' The figure turned their head slightly to the right to get a glimpse of the boy.
"What do you think you are doing boy?" The boy looked down on the ground with guilt in his eyes.
"I'm sorry. I did mean for this to happen...I just...need money to help my mom." The boy at this point started to sob. "S-she is so sick and I h-have to get her some m-medicine." The boy at this point could no longer speak as he continued to sob. The figure walked up to the boy, completely ignoring the marine in front of them, and bent down to the boy's level. The figure grabbed the boy's hand and lifted it up slightly and placed something in his hands. The boy looked at his hand to find 100,000 belles. The boy was way beyond shocked by the amount."W-w-why...?" The boy was interrupted by a hand that was placed firmly on his shoulder.
"That should be more than enough to have a doctor check your mom up and get some medicine for her." The boy looked up at the figure who was smiling. "Now go. I'll take care the rest." The boy nodded and ran away. The figure stood up straight and faced Strawberry. "You know beating children isn't very friendly." The figure started to remove their hood.
"Who are you?" Smoker asked with a menacing tone. The figure's face was revealed. Of course it was Hikari."A woman?!" Smoker was surprised that a woman was able to deflect Strawberry's attacks.
"As much as I would love to spar with you men, I have to speed things up here." Hikari suddenly ran up to Strawberry and punched him in the face and sent him flying for miles. Smoker was shocked and suddenly attacked Hikari only to be elbowed in the chest sending him flying into a building.
"Amazing!" Luffy yelled as he admired Hikari's fighting style. Hikari walked over the crew. They needed to leave before the marines recovered.
"You guys ready to go?" Hikari asked. All of them nodded in unison. "Alright. Let's go"
I hope I didn't make Smoker and Strawberry too OOC or weak. Hope you enjoyed this! We can finally get to the good parts :).
