Chapter 14

I own nothing

It was the next morning and father had been monitoring Blackwatch chatter. He had picked up a transmission that beley was being transported to the green zone. They didn't say the location only that he would be picked up by helicopter to be transferred to the air bridge. Heller and Ichigo along with Rukia were going to destroy that transport so they would be forced to try a ground approach. They got to the base and saw that helicopter was just beginning to leave.

Heller shifted his arms to his tendril form and said "Let's get this party started. Rukia, it might be a good idea to activate you Shikai state."

She nodded then held her sword in front of her with the tip pointed down and turned it in a counter clock wise motion while saying "Dance, Sode no Shirayuki" as she said this cold air raced outward from her while her sword turned completely white. The blade, handle, and guard turned white while the guard became icicle like and a white ribbon trailed as it connected to the hilt.

Heller looked at it in surprise. He thought that it would be something different. He didn't know what just different. But as he looked at it and Rukia, he agreed that it suited her as a person. He said "That's a beautiful sword."

Rukia smiled as she said "thank you. In soul society, Sode no Shirayuki is considered to be the most beautiful of all the Zanpakuto there are. And it's got some very potent powers."

Heller grinned as he said, "anything that can help here?"

She looked up. She saw that the helicopter was about to cross an empty parking lot. She knew just what to use to take it out and give Heller a little preview of her strength.

"Yes. Watch this. Just kept your eye on the parking lot." With that she used flash step to appear there and began to gather sprit energy. She held her sword upside down as she called out "First Dance, White Moon."

She slashed her sword and drew a wide white circle with the tip. She stepped out and looked up as the chopper passed over the circle. Suddenly a flash of light shot up and engulfed the chopper. When it faded, the entire vehicle was encased in a pillar of ice. As Heller watched in awe, the pillar shattered, reducing the chopper and everyone inside to nothing. Needless to say, Blackwatch at the base went nuts since they had seen what had happened to the chopper but not who had done that technique. Rukia walked back with a smirk as she said "Well that's the convoy taken care of."

Heller nodded as he heard that Blackwatch was sending a ground convoy to pick up belmey and with extra security.

"We need to get there first." Heller said as he sent out a hunter pulse. After a few second, it snapped back. Heller lead the way and when they got to the location. As they stood atop a nearby building, they saw a row of tanks rumbling down the road, running over cars and with a column of Blackwatch soldiers on either side of the street.

Heller readied his arms as he said, "I can take down the tanks, I need you two to take care of the soldiers while I look for that bastard."

They nodded as they leapt off the building. Heller hit the ground and fired a black hole attack at the first tank. Tendrils grabbed several flaming car piece and solders as they reeled them in. they exploded against the tank and dealt minor damage.

The reaction was immediate. The tanks broke out of formation and rumbled to give each other space to fire. Blackwatch readied their weapons when Ichigo and Rukia appeared, Ichigo said "Hey boys. Miss us?"

They fired while Ichigo dove In the middle of the group while Rukia used her speed to dodge bullets and missiles while using graceful but deadly cuts to kill those along the edges she quickly got some distance and yelled "ICHIGO! BUY ME A FEW SECONDS! I NEED TO PREPEARE THE NEXT DANCE!"

He nodded and began to force Blackwatch's attention on him while Rukia took her sword in both hands and lightly pierced the ground 4 times in a semi-circle. The places she pierced began to glow with white light while something akin to snowflakes rose out of them. She got into a stance with her sword raised above her head in both hands to perform a sideways sweeping motion while she yelled "NEXT DANCE, WHITE RIPLLE."

Ichigo heard he yell and moved back quickly as a wave of white cold air came rushing from Rukia like an avalanche of snow. When it passed the Blackwatch patrol, they were instantly frozen before they knew what hit them. It was over with the Blackwatch guards while Heller continued to fire black hole attacks and use his claws to tear apart the tanks looking for belmay. They heard the commander of the patrol say "Red crown we got a hostile. His weapons are some kind of tendrils. Defiantly rouge infected."

"copy that. Protect Dr. belmay at all costs. Are there anymore hostiles?"

"There's two, that boy with the orange hair and a woman. I'm sending a picture now."

"Copy that. Received."

The commander never got a chance to respond and Ichigo quickly charged a small Getsuga Tensho and fired it to slice the tank in half down the middle of the main barrel. The tank was about to explode when Dr. belmay quickly climbed out the hatch and jumped as it exploded. He landed with a hard thud and tried to drag himself away as he had broken his legs. The convoy finished off Heller went to the good doctor and grabbed him. He threw him out and quickly sent out tendrils to grab his feet while stretching his hands out and being held by tendrils that shot and attached to buildings. He pulled back until the doctor was ripped in half from the waist down, killing him. He clutch his heads as he consumed the remains

"Heller is targeting Genteck scientist, can't you see that? He'll be coming for me next! "

Rooks responded saying "yeah well, we'll get you transferred to the green zone as soon as possible. Heller won't pass up a bunch of targets packed that tight."

Belmey said in disbelief "you're going to use us as bait?"

"Relax doc. This will all be over before you know it"

Heller shook his head feeling confused. Rooks had used the scientist as bait to lure him out? Why?

Rukia and Ichigo walked up and asked "Learn anything useful?"

"Only that rooks was using the scientist I consumed as bait. I can't think of why he would…" the rest was cut off as his phone rang. He picked up to see father.

"James, I've got some new information for you. I've managed to reestablish contact with a source that goes by the name ATHENA. She found a Blackwatch base where civilians go in but not out."

"Sounds like we'll need to pay that place a visit."

"My thoughts exactly. I've already sent you the coordinates."

Heller nodded and hung up. Ichigo and Rukia had overheard and let Heller lead the way to the base. When they got there they saw that a truck with several people in the back was being unloaded while one yelled "Why're you doing this!? You don't have the right!"

A Blackwatch grunt hit him across the face saying "Shut up!"

Ichigo looked like he would like nothing better than to take out that bastard right now, but they had to get inside first. Heller shifted his form to a Blackwatch guard and walked through the gate. This would be harder to get in since the commander was talking to several guards. Heller waited impatiently until he walked away and went to the side of the building to smoke, with no one else around. Heller leaned on the wall next to the commander as he said in the guards voice "How about those damn infected huh?"

"No shit. I hate those things. And I want to blow the crap out of Heller and whatever freaks that were hanging around him. Of course those Genteck egg heads just want them for research. Idiot's." he flicked away the cigarette butt and put on his helmet saying "let's get back to work."

"Not a bad idea." As the commander walked past Heller, he put a hand over his mouth and snapped his neck before consuming him.

Heller smirked beneath his new helmet before entering the base and coming to the control room, similar to the one he had infiltrated at the hydra base he looked through the window to see several people being forced through a steel door to another room while a civilian said "Why are you doing this? I'm healthy I…AAHH NO I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!" she shouted as she was pushed inside of the room. The black watch guard stepped back as he said "Attention, subjects are in place, begin infected feeding."

Heller felt fury as he watched the do close he shifted his arms to his weapons as he said "Do you want to know what happens to people when they're in a room with a monster.

Ichigo and Rukia appeared and said "let us show you."

The scientist panicked at Heller appearing, but they couldn't see the other two. That didn't stop Ichigo from using his sword with no mercy. He raised his hand and pointed at a group saying "Hado # ." a thrust of air caused the group of scientist to go flying backwards and break their backs against the wall behind them, along with some skulls.

Rukia used her third dance, White Sword, to gather moisture from the air and create ice on her sword to give it a longer reach. Every slash she delivered caused the area to develop ice around the wound until the person was frozen solid.

Heller just fought like usual, slicing with claws while using his tendrils to rip the other apart. Heller consumed the scientist they needed to get in the room, then when everyone was finished off, used the hand scanner to open the door.

And there stood a true monster.
