Chapter 16: The Tower of Mass Confusion

Part 1

The presence of a shroud of dispair is evident at Maison Izumo. Kazehana has tried to drink her sorrow away but not even Miya's Wedding Sake isn't doing it for her. Homura stands right beside Kazehana, moarning in silence though he has found some ease from the sadness by enjoying the sight of Kazehana in that maid outfit, he begins to remember the last time he saw her in it.

'Kazehana, I enjoyed that night when Uzume and I introduced you to sake...you were so drunk that you started to call me master.' He laughs in his mind. 'If I was weaker man, I think you would still be calling me master." He realizes that Miya has just walked up, and Kazehana has that I'm so busted look on her face for she partically emptied Miya's liquor cabinet.

"May I join you?" Miya asks. Kazahana nods and pours a glass of Sake for Miya and Homura. Both take the glasses of sake and they all enjoy a moment of reflection. Meanwhile down the hall way in Matsu's room, Ku has her head on Matsu's lap, they too are mourning.

"Don't worry Ku, we'll get through this." Matsu waves her fingers through Ku's hair as they sit quietly for a moment or two before Tsukiumi, Musubi, and Minato walk into the room.

"Ku, that is where you are. We were worried that you had left the house." Musubi say as Ku sits up and shakes her head.

"I was with Matsu the whole time." Minato pats Ku on the head.

"Its alright, I'm happy that you are off somewhere alone." Ku goes over and sits on his lap, this made Tsukiumi and Musubi kind of jealous but than they realize that she is still a kid so they pass it off. Minato looks a Matsu.

"Matsu, I want to meet Higa." Everyone looks stunned by what Minato just said, but Matsu can tell that Minato is being serious about this and she cracks his fingers.

"Are you sure about this?" Matsu asks but Minato's eyes hold the answer she wanted so she exits out of programs that she isn't going to be using and she gets a creepy nerdy smile on her face. "Lets done this." She begins to whale on the keyboard of her, long lines of codes role down the red glowing computer screens.

All the way over at Higa's office building, a huge panic has ensued as the stock market prices for Higa's company drops like nuclear bombs, Kakizaki and his sekirei walk in to Higa's office with worried faces. Although he turns around and sighs alreadying knowing what is happening.

"An attack by the north...well executed attack if I say so myself." Higa says as he continues to watch his company go down into the toilet.

Back in Matsu's room, Minato, Ku, Musubi, and Tsukiumi are watching Matsu do battle in her geeky way.

"She is quite enthuised." Tsukiumi says before Musubi and Ku begin to oogle Matsu's determination and focus as each key stroke acts as a dagger into the belly of the beast that happens to be Higa's company.

"Matsu is so awesome!" Musubi and Ku exclaim. Tsukiumi just shakes her head as Matsu continues to pound away on the keyboard. Suddenly, Minato gets a phone call and Matsu pauses her assault.

"Hello...yes this is ...I understand." He hangs up and he looks over at his girls that are his slaves though he is one inexperienced slave master. "We need to get to the hostipal." He says as Musubi and Ku jump to their feet and follow him as Matsu shuts down her hacker mode and sighs.

Twenty one years ago

In the depths of the Ocean within what is to be Kamakura Island. Watching over a the multiple larvas that are to become Sekirei, Reiten sighs.

"I know you are here, Tsukasa." He says in a rather bored tone. Lord Hio walks out of the shadows with his eyes closed.

"I really wished you wouldn't use my first name." Lord Hio says as Reiten just shakes his head.

"Why are you here? I know you aren't here just to attempt to critic me and my lack of giving you an honorific." Lord Hio chuckles.

"Straight forward as ever, Reiten. Very well, I want to tell you that you aren't going to be alone much longer." Reiten nods.

"I know that...you made me to be in your image after all and in this unrestricted state. We are equal." Lord Hio sighs.

"You need to stop talking like that. Your sister is listening..." Reiten looks at the tank that is where Miya is and she is almost finished in physical development.

"I don't know why you want me to pretend that we are related and why did you punish your dearly beloved by forcing her Bankai Minazuki into this form?" Lord Hio smiles.

"I do not call this a punishment...she hasn't been using her Bankai for a few hundred years and you know how much blood lust she can build up." Lord Hio says as Reiten shrugs.

"If you say so." Reiten says as he looks around the different tanks and he stops in front of the tank that has the number five on it and notices that a certain shinigami from squad two is leaning on it as he naps.

"Truth boy, get up!" Janic jumps out of his skin when he heard Reiten's voice and Janic is now bowing.

"Forgive me sir, I mistakingly fell asleep well watching over this sleeping people." Reiten sighs.

"I don't care what excuses you come up with...wait, did you call them people just now?" Reiten asks. Janic nods.

"Yes sir I did." Reiten looks intriged.

"You are the first person outside of me and Lord Hio who has called them people and even looking at you now, your eyes seem to be giving them respect for you aren't trying to stare at them...well truth boy, what else have you been doing?" Reiten ask as he grabs Janic's sketch book that Janic keeps on him. Janic is wondering how Reiten grabbed the book without him feeling it but than he remembers that Reiten is a psychic with all of the paths of the mind that possible. "Interesting sketches and I do like how you drew me...but I am wondering why only some of them have names with their numbers and others don't, explain yourself." Janic grasp as Reiten has his sketch book open to a page that has a manga comic styled sketch of the thunder sluts in a various of the S&M costumes they were nowadays though this page does not have their names next to either one of them.

"Well Reiten, the only way I can explain that is that I can see some of their names and others won't like me seen their names." Reiten nods.

"You can see their names huh?" Reiten flips the page and finds a sketch of Uzume in a festival kimono. "So why is number 10 Ama-No-Uzume only called Uzume in here than? Janic stands up.

"Because she didn't like how long her name is." Janic says.

"How would you know that?" Reiten asks a question he already knows the answer to as he looks over at the tank that Uzume is developing in and he can hear her soul and she loves being called Uzume. Janic looks nervous and as he is about to answer Reiten, Lord Hio puts his hand on Janic's shoulder.

"Kouken its alright, you already sensed it didn't you, Reiten." Reiten nods again.

"It seems all of the children are beginning to stir." Reiten says right before half of the sekirei larvas wings sprouts out for a few seconds and all of the spirit energy from that sudden out burst leaves Janic somewhat stunned but he soon was able to read the different spirit energies.

"Wow...they seem to be cheery!" Lord Hio and Reiten laugh a bit at that.

"You could say that Kouken." Lord Hio says as he looks over at the tank that Mutsu just happens to be in.

"So Kouken does he have a name he would prefered to be called?" Janic looks over at the tank.

"I think so...but I don't remember what it is." Reiten hands Janic the sketch book and Janic looks through it and finds that he has done a sketch of Mutsu where Mutsu is standing in samurai clothing. "Here it is and his name that he would like to be called is Mutsu." Janic says through Lord Hio peers into the sketch book and notices a little note next to Mutsu name.

"So you want him to be called Mutsu but what did he want to be call?" Janic sighs.

"Mitsurugi...and honestly milord, does he look like a Mitsurugi?" Janic asks and Lord Hio takes a second to think and he sighs.

"Well if he was wearing samurai armor I would say so but since I just foresaw how he is going to dress than no he does not look like a Mitsurugi...and that Mutsu name seems like a much better fit." Janic looks a bit cheery now, knowing that one of the beings he is guarding has just gotten a name change. "Kouken, lets see if any of the other want to share their names with you." Janic nods as Reiten smirks at Lord Hio.

'You do know that the names he is coming up with were originally my ideas for their human names, right Tsukasa?' Reiten telepathical says to Lord Hio.

'I know, but you wanted to give some credit to the boy didn't you?' Reiten nods at Lord Hio.

'Correct just like how you wanted to give some credit to that big guy of your father's branch of the Royal Guard for naming things in the Soul Society.' Lord Hio nods. Janic stands in front of the tanks that have Kazehana, and Matsu developing in them, he is sketching away not even noticing that Lord Hio and Reiten are being very quiet in a mental discussion.

'Well Reiten you still are the same as you ever were.' Reiten smirks.

"Of coarse, I am as my creator made me to be...your spliting image." Reiten annouces out loud. Janic turns around in confusion.

"Milords, Do I even want to know what you are talking about?" Lord Hio looks at Janic.

"At the moment, no. Kouken please go back to obversing the children." Janic sighs.

"Yes sir." He says. 'But they look more like birds stuck in their eggs than children.' Reiten chuckles.

'I heard that.' Janic jumps out of his skin when he heard Reiten's voice in side of his head as if he was a thought.

Back to the Present.

At the hospital where Chiho is at, Minato, Musubi, and Ku stand outside of an emergency room as they watch the doctors and nurses do their best to help her.

"I'm going to get something to drink." Minato says.

"Okay." Musubi answers and he walks off down the hall. Suddenly he stop at the sight of a man in a fancy white suit, holding a bonquet of flowers.

"It is nice to meet you, Minato Sahashi." Higa says in a gentlemenly way. Minato nods.

"So you are Ashikabi of the East, Higa." Minato says as the daylight sun from the windows iluminated the two ashikabi.

"Your virtual attack was well executed, and you now have my attention." Higa says as he walks over and hands Minato the flowers. Minato notices an SD card on one of the flower petals. "I assumed that you wanted the data on the disease that the young lady has and they treatments that can help her...isn't that why you attacked?" Higa asked, Minato nods.

"Yes...but will any of this cure her? Minato asks, Higa shakes his head.

"It will only stablize her...Even with all of my resources, I could not find a cure for the young lady but...I do know who might have a cure for her." Minato realizes what Higa might say next.

"MBI." Higa nods.

"You took the words right out of my mouth. Now I bid you a dew." Higa says as he leaves. Minato gets the information to the doctors and they do all they can with it to stablize Chiho.

In the far north forest of teito at Niumi and Sakuya's house, the sekirei of the Earth awakes from a somewhat pleasent dream. He goes though his normal routine: warm up exercises, a quick shower, and sneaking into Niumi's room to greet her before Sakuya gets up and kicks him out. Although when he goes to do that last objective of his routine, he finds that Niumi isn't in her bed nor does it look like she has even slept in it in the past twenty four hours. He itches his head.

"That is weird, she isn't here." He stopped itching his head though he looks at the hand he was just itching with. 'Maybe this is why Sakuya calls me Itchy? Now that I think about it I do scratch my head a lot.' He thinks to himself as he heads down the hall only to notice that the door to Sakuya's room was open which is also unusual to him. He peers inside and sees that the room in decorated a lot like Niumi's room though Sakuya's room has more cool colors while Niumi's is more brown and natural colors in it. 'Now Sakuya isn't trying to cut off my favorite and most useful body part...what the fuck is going on here?' Ichi rushes down the stairs and into the Kitchen, and still none of the usual suspects are around. He looks at the table and he sees a note on it thus he begins to read it.

Dear Itchy, you noisy pain in my methophorical ass

As you may have already noticed, unless you are in the middle of a panic attack from going into Reiten's room when Reiten didn't give you permission, Niumi, Reiten and I are gone and the house feels empty doesn't? Don't worry, we haven't abandoned you to completely fed for yourself, we left you some money through out the house in spot you mostly look at or sit at so you can feed yourself for the next two to three weeks well we are on vacation in Fiji. Yes I said Fiji Ichi, and before I get a head of myself, Thank you for teaching Reiten what the hell a vacation is. I am still wondering how the hell you did it. Any how, like I said before we are going to be gone for two to three weeks, and don't forget that Miya wants you to help add a few additions to Maison Izumo, and she wants to have a training hall or arena of some sort so she can train the girls indoors when she doesn't want to be outside. Well I hope you behave yourself and don't wreck my house please!

Sincerely,

Sakuya

Ichi sighs.

"How can I wreck the house within two to three weeks? I don't know that many people!" He yells to no one and in doing so, he spots some of the money he was left, which happens to be the equlivant of five hundred dollars. 'Wow, they left me this much in one spot of the kitchen...I wonder how much they left me all together." He wants to look but a knock on the door instantly changes his mind set from greedy bastard to act like a normal human as he goes and opens the door. Shina is standing at the door, and he looks furious.

"Where is Yukari?!" Shina asks. Ichi gets his serious face on for he has heard of a grey haired male sekirei attacking people and his Oni master destroying the manhoods of those ashikabi unfortunate to lay a hand on her sekirei.

"Its been a while, Number 107 Shina." Ichi say but Shina jumps the gun and uses a bit of his decaying powers, luckily Ichi got out of the way and the only thing that was ruined by Shina's powers was the front door.

"I'm not here for a reunion, Ichi. I want to know where my ashikabi is." Shina says with a bit of a foul attitude. Ichi sighs as he goes outside so the house isn't in Shina's line of fire.

"Shina, I don't know who this Yukari is and If I knew where she was, I would lead you right to her." Shina jumps over to Ichi is standing which is a wide open yard that has seen plenty of abuse from Ichi training on it every day.

"I wish you would stop lying!" He screams as he sends another wave of his decaying powers at Ichi, who dodges by using a simple hole in the ground and he pops up right behind Shina. Ichi can clearly tell that Shina isn't thinking straight so he isn't going to try to hurt him as he dodges another wave.

"Shina! Why do you think I am lying to you?" Ichi ask but he caught up in one of Shina's attacks and his shirt is ripped to pieces and he is also bleeding a bit from his arms.

Later on that evening, back at Maison Izumo, Minato has just got off the phone with Minaka, who is going to be taking advantage of Minato's glabblness right at this very moment with a very evil email. Anyway, Minato heads down to the living room all manner of thoughts boucnying around in his head like slow motion breast of a braless marathon runner.

'Meet Minaka at the top of Teito Tower before the stroke of noon and I can get what I need to keep my promise to Uzume...' He nearly walks through the paper door into the living room, Minato sits down and all of his sekirei are in the room, Tsukiumi, Musubi, and Ku are seated while Kazehana and Matsu are standing.

"I have good news and I have bad news girls." Minato says.

"Spit it out already." Tsukiumi says in an impatient way. The others are patiencely waiting.

"The Good news, there is a way to cure Chiho." Musubi raises her fist high and Ku mimics.

"That's great!" Musubi says.

"What's the bad news?" Tsukiumi asks. Minato sighs as Homura walks into the room.

"The bad news is that we have to go meet Minaka on top Teito Tower and we have to get up there before the stroke of Noon tomorrow or else we don't get it." Kazehana and Matsu sighs.

"Minato, you do realizes that Minaka isn't going to make this a walk in the park for us tomorrow right?" Matsu says, Minato nods.

"Yes I know...we need to come up with a plan." Homura taps Minato on the shoulder.

"I have an idea that will completely take Minaka by surprise." Minato looks at Homura.

"And that would be?" Minato ask as his sekirei look at Homura, waiting for him to answer. Walking passed the living room, Ichigo yawns.

"Seriously, I wished I don't have to hunt hollows every single night and I really wished we knew why Byakuya hasn't been up with us." Ichigo says out loud when Minato peers out of the living room.

"Excuse me Ichigo, can we have a moment of your time?" Ichigo looks and sees that Minato, Homura and all of Minato's sekirei are peering out the living room and he assumes that they want him for something silly.

"Sure, I got time." He walks into the cramped living room, and about five minutes later, Ichigo is nodding.

"So let me get this straight, you all want me to go to Teito Tower and get you a cure or data for a cure for a friend of your's who is in the hospital, right?" Everyone nods really really fast and Ichigo stands up. "Alright, I'll help you guys out."

"What?" The girls say in unison. Homura smiles.

"Wow, my plan might actually work this time." Homura says thinking he kept that to himself as everyone ignores him.

"Thank you Ichigo." Minato says.

"Don't be thanking me yet. I still have to produce the goods after all." Ichigo says. Minato stratches his head.

"I guess you are right." Ichigo stands up and grabs his combat pass from his pocket.

"I hope you all can excuse me, I'm going now." Ichigo begins to leave when Matsu clears her throat.

"Mr. Kurosaki before you go since you have plenty of time for getting us what we need, can you please answer some of my questions?" Ichigo sits back down.

"Alright what do you want to ask me...Matsu right?" Matsu smiles as she pulls a tablet from out of nowhere.

"Yes I am Matsu and I was wonder why do you have different forms when you are in combat?" She shows pictures of Ichigo in his fullbring, his soul reaper outfit and in his bankai to everyone.

"Matsu you do know that just could be his powers in different stages." Kazehana says.

"You could be correct Kazehana but what I'm confused about is this first form of his because I thought a shinigami had to leave the body to be able to use any of their powers unless you are in a special gigai." Ichigo sighs as everyone, but Homura and Kazehana, look confused about what Matsu is even talking about.

"Do you know why Orihime can heal and project a shield from her hair pins?" Matsu nods.

"She is a gifted human right? There are said to be a small number of them though out the world." Ichigo sighs.

"The correct term is fullbringer." Everyone is now confused.

"What is a fullbringer?" Minato asks mainly so Matsu doesn't look like a dumby of a bookworm. Ichigo clears his throat. Half of an hour later, everyone looks at Matsu's tablet and see that she was able to record Ichigo's explanation of fullbrings and fullbringers.

"And that is what a fullbringer is." Ku, and Musubi clap for irony's sake. Does anyone else find it weird that the japanese alcohol is spelled the same as sake? Or it just me? Ichigo stands up. "Any other questions Matsu?" Matsu nods.

"You saided you are a substiute soul reaper? You aren't a truth soul reaper than?" Ichigo scratches his head.

"I was born a human, Matsu and in some people's opinion I'm not a truth soul reaper." Ichigo uses his combat pass to escape his body and enter his soul reaper form. "But I know what I am!" He leaves as Miya was about to enter the room.

"It seems Strawberry is rather excited tonight, he's going to miss dinner." Minato sighs.

"We asked him if he could help us out with something and than we lost track of time with the planning. I'm sorry Miya." Miya laughs.

"Its okay but I do hope you are able to repay him." She says which gets Minato possibly regret his decision. Musubi, and Ku pop to their feet.

"Do you need help with dinner Lady Miya?" The girls asks.

"Orihime and Rukia have helped me cook it and it only needs thirty more minutes, how about you two set the table and than Tsukiumi, Kazehana, and Matsu can help clean up." Miya suggests.

"Okay, we'll get right on it!" Musubi says as they head to the dinning room as Tsukiumi looks furious.

"Curse you Musubi! Don't you think I'm tired of dish washing duty!" Kazehana laughs.

"If this keeps up I might have to start calling you Miss Panty Splash!" Tsukiumi doesn't find Kazehana's new nickname amusing but she doesn't over react because Miya is still in the room.

"Come on Drunken Blow Drier, let go find some way to occupy our time." Tsukiumi grabs a bottle of sake that Kazehana hasn't drank dry yet and she successfully also quietly gets Kazehana to follow her.

Close to Teito Tower, Ichigo jumps from roof top to roof top, scouting the area before he heads any closer all the while he has been watched by the eyes of certain Quincy from the confinds of the tower in question as someone else enters the room from which he is watching.

"Ishida, has the Soul Reaper Representive arrived?" The blonde Quincy asked as he demeter is very serious and composed. Uyru turns his head.

"Yes he has and as usual, he is charging into enemy territory without a plan." Uyru begins to make his way out of the survalance room.

"Are you going to greet him than?" The Blonde asks, Uyru continues to walk out.

"Of coarse...I can't be rude to our guest." Uyru say before he shuts the door and head straight for the elevator. The elevator doors open up, he gets in and notices that the top floor button has already be pressed. "I guess Mayuri was playing around with this before he disappeared so convently." He says to himself as the elevator takes him to the roof and Ichigo sees Uyru walk out of the elevator. Ichigo's shocked expression doesn't surprise Uyru.

"Uyru? What are you doing here? Where is Minaka?" Ichigo asks, feeling a bit uneasy at the sight of his friend in a uniform that is so unfamilar to him.

"Minaka is fast asleep where he belongs. The real question is what are you doing here Ichigo? You don't belong here." Uyru's word were spoken in a foul tone, Ichigo looks annoyed by the way Uyru is acting.

"Well I ain't going any where until somebody gives him the thing that the ashikabi Minato Sahashi looking for to save a girl's live!" Uyru sighs.

"You never change, Ichigo...always willing to sacriface yourself for the lives of your friends and even complete strangers." Uyru steps forward, Ichigo starts to get a bad feeling in the pit of his gut though he passes it off for it could just be hungar pains.

"I could say the same for you, Uyru. Always analyzing your situation and trying to come up with an outcome that grants you victory or an escape." Ichigo notices somethings coming out of the shadows that surround him, and those things would be Quincy foot soldiers.

"Take him out." Uyru says as the Quincy foot soldiers draw their swords and bows.

"Yes sir." Ichigo draw Zangetsu and begins to parry the varity of attacks that are coming his way. He fends off arrow after arrow and slash after slash. Ichigo quickly takes out half of the foot soldiers with a Getsuga Tensho. Uyru once again doesn't look surprised by this though he snaps his fingers again and this time a group of twelve Quincy appear out of the shadows. Ichigo was distracted by the remaining foot soldiers to notice the new wave of Quincy who each have had an appearance in the bleach manga. Uyru gets their attention.

"After we deal with the substitue soul reaper, I shall inform you all of your targets and what information I have on them and their zanpakuto." Uyru says. Each one of the other important Quincy nod except for one, a black haired girl wearing a Quincy logo hat.

"Why the fuck do we have to listen to you Four eyes? We barely know you for a few days and now your giving us order like your Haschwalt-sama or His Majesty?!" Uyru pulls something out of the back of his neck and his spirit energy begins to change, it becomes denser than it ever has been and there is more of it as well. Ichigo takes out the last foot soldier although he wasn't expecting to feel such a difference in Uyru's spiritual pressure.

"You better watch your mouth when you are addressing me girl. I am Uyru Ishida, the last living Pure Blood Quincy and his Majesty has granted me the Letter 'A', and that means I am the Heir to his throne!" Uyru shouts piercing his words through the Quincy and Ichigo's thick skull.

"Uyru!" Ichigo screams, frustraight for he isn't sure about what is going on. Uyru looks up.

"From that dumbfounded look on your face, you must have heard me clearly than but you are confused about why my spirit energy and pressure has vastly went up..." Uyru turns around and reveal the back of his neck where his temporary sekirei symbol was, and its gone. "I discovered how Mayuri was able to make us into this so called sekirei. He made a tiny device and implanted it during that weird blast of light that when we all were first being...quote on quote made into sekirei." Ichigo feels the back of his neck and notices that he has one on him but he can't pull his out. "Mayuri had to do this to me, you, and Chad because we're still living souls...the rest of the soul reapers who became sekirei are inside of special gigai that Mayuri developed and Kisuke improve later on." Ichigo looks confused.

"So I'm guessing this devices can our spirit energy in some way to make us blend in with this sekirei." Uyru nods.

"Yes...but the only way that this devices should be removed is by our defeat within the game..." Uyru says. Ichigo notices that the Quincy have disappear from around Uyru and so he gets defensive position.

"But you figured out a way to weasel your way out of the game, which only explain part of why your spirit energy has changed, it doesn't explain how dark and thick it has become." Uyru shakes his head.

"And if you can't figure that out for yourself, I'm not going to explain anything else to you anymore." Uyru begins to make his way to the elevator.

"Hold on Uyru..." Ichigo tries to go after Uyru but the fist of a large built Luchador looking Quincy knocks him high up as the loud mouth Quincy girl wearing the hat slashes Ichigo's shoulder. Uyru stops and looks up.

"Mala Suerte Kurosaki!" Uyru says before he boards the elevator. Ichigo grind his teeth and he deflects an arrow fired from a Quincy, wearing oval sunglasses and has a funky looking chin for a cannon Bleach character, with Zangetsu before he punches the Luchador Quincy in the mouth and flashsteps a few feet away also before anyone asks, I, the author don't feel like naming all of the Quincy's right now for I would have to name quite of few of them and I want to try and get on with the crazy plot of mine that I somehow keep in order and making sense. Anyway, Ichigo is soon locking swords with the Loud mouth girl and his back takes an arrow and a slash from two Quincy. Before he could even react to that, Ichigo is elbowed in the head by the Luchador and Ichigo is getting more and more enraged as the number of Quincy overwhelm him, and he keep taking hit after hit after hit from his foes.

"Substitue Soul Reaper, quit resisting and die quietly." A Quincy with the afro and rediculus looking teeth says. Ichigo begins to laugh. "Huh?" Ichigo looks at the Quincy after barehandedly grabing a spirit arrow and throws it back at their faces.

"I don't plan on dying anytime soon." He hold out Zangetsu with his right hand and puts his left hand on his right biscep. The Quincy know what he is about to do and one of them pulls out a Medallion of some kind.

"Ban-!" Ichigo's spirit enegry begins to change and his entire body glows, the device on the back of his neck breaks. The Quincy each smirk waiting for him to fully transform. "KAI!" He disappears into a fog of spirit energy as the Quincy who pulled out the Medallion begins to chant under his breath. A minute later, Ichigo slashes the fog apart and reveals his Bankai. "Tensa Zangetsu." He says, the Quincy all look confused.

"Why didn't his Bankai disappear?!" Ichigo flash steps over to the one Quincy who said that.

"Disappear? Sorry I'm not a magican." Ichigo says with some sacrasm in his voice as he attempts to reengage his enemies in heated combat again though on the inside, he is uneasy. 'How could a Bankai disappear? It doesn't make anysense for that Quincy to say what he said.' He thinks as he lets loose a black Getsuga from his blade, the Quincy dodge the large ranged attack.

"Wow, I thought the substitue soul reaper was suppose to be so powerful? But it turns out you're weak." The Loud mouth Quincy girl says with that annoying tongue of her's. Ichigo is getting tired of all of this and puts his hand over his face. The Quincy all look shocked as Ichigo's spirit energy begins to change and his mask forms on his face.

"Interesting. Ichigo Kurosaki can still use hollow powers." Another Quincy appears, its the blonde one from the surveilance room. The other Quincy all bow their heads.

"Haschwalt-sama!" The loud mouth says as he puts his hand on her shoulder.

"That will be enough everyone. I will dispose of the soul reaper myself." Ichigo sees that Haschwalt has drawn a sword.

"You alone are going to 'dispose' of me?" Ichigo says. Haschwalt does not answer he only disappears from Ichigo's line of sight.

"Indeed I did, Kurosaki." Ichigo turns around to find Haschwalt is standing there, and suddenly a loud snap and the sound of something shattering is all Ichigo can hear as he falls to the ground, a huge slash wound that starts from his forehead and leads to the bottom of his abdonmin appeared. He sees that Tensa Zangetsu has been broken and that his mask is fracturing away.

'When did he hit me?' Is the last thing Ichigo thought as Haschwalt sheaths his sword.

"It is truly surprising that you were able to regain the ability to use hollowification...reguardless, you will never be able to truly defeat any of us until you discover..." Ichigo blacks out before he is able to hear the rest of Haschwalt's words. The Quincy gather around Haschwalt.

"Grandmaster Haschwalt, what else shall our majesty wish for us to do?" One of the Quincy ask. Haschwalt takes a moment to watch what he thinks is Ichigo's corpse hit the sidewalk.

"Letters E, F, J, K, and S, you all are to find the captains of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads that are here in the world of the living and show them that the Vandenreich(Wandenreich)'s Stern Ritters have come to out of hidding and everyone else, go inform our arrancar minions to get Tia Halibel back to Hueco Mundo." Is what he says as all of the Quincy disappear into the very shadows they arrived in without any agrument..

Part 2

The sunrises over Teito, illuminating the city that is meant only as a battlefield for spiritual beings. We head back over to Sakuya and Niumi's house, the whole house happens to be untouched by Shina's powers of decoy though the same can not be said for the lawn, Ichi's garden, the training field, Sakuya's meditation Garden's gate, and a small portion of the forest that surrounds the house. Ichi stands, panting wildly for he has been trying to dodge and keep Shina for completely rioting the entire place and that has him on the brink of exhaustion as Shina also looks tired from almost twenty four hours of non stop attacking.

"Ichi...are you really telling the truth?" Shina murmurs out in between breathes. Ichi nods.

"Of coarse! You know me better than this Shina...I mean we are both one hundred digit sekirei after all." Ichi says as Shina sighs.

"You are right but it doesn't explain why I'm feeling so angry...I've never felt like this before." Ichi sighs this time at the sight of Shina's personal frustrustion.

"My god, you honestly don't get it do you?" Shina looks confused.

"Get what?" Ichi walks over and taps Shina on the head.

"You're in love Sir Rots-a-lot! And you're so angry with yourself for not being able to keep your master safe, that you stopped using that head of your's..." Ichi feels like crap and begins to stumble to the ground.

"You okay, Ichi?" Shina asks and Ichi nods.

"I will be...after a nice nap and one hell of a brunch." Ichi begins to fall asleep which makes Shina laugh.

"I couldn't agree more." Shina soon fall down and takes a nap after saying that. So tuckered out for such a long, one sided battle due to the fact there is no evidence of Ichi trying to fight back against Shina. Neither one of them realizes that a certain shady sekirei had been observing the conflict, Niheru smiles.

"So Itchy, you look ready for a war...but I'll be the final judge, jury and hopefully, executioner!" He says before fading away into the shadows. All the way at Higa's office, Higa sits relaxed in his chair, waiting for the little event of Minaka's to begin so he can watch from the safety of his office thanks to city wide sekirei battle moderator cameras that Mayuri's squad had set up for many other reasons than this as Niheru pops out of the shadow of his desk.

"Excuse me, you are Higa?" Higa nods.

"I am...I presume that you're a sekirei for you didn't use the door to come here, or are you one of those things called Soul Reapers that I've seen around this city?" Niheru chuckles.

"You were right the first time, and I'm glad to find that some of you ashikabi have paid attention to what has been going on." Niheru says.

"Let's get to down to business sekirei." Higa gets straight to the point like the business man he is.

"Call me Niheru." Higa nods.

"Niheru, I am a busy man and I have a meeting with a CEO of a Multimedia company in an hour so..." Higa presses a button under his desk. Niheru smiles.

"So you are calling your minions to deal with me and if I survive you will listen to me right? Well I'm not affraid to disappoint you." Niheru says as screams of agony can be heard, Higa breaks into a small sweat though he is very good at keeping himself composed, like most good anime antagonists. The door opens up and two of the Discarded Ones, Kira and Sano walk in, Kira had a little blood on her.

"As you can see, we truly mean business." Kira bends down to say something to Niheru.

"I may have went a little overboard and I deactivated number 85 Oshino." Niheru sighs at that.

"We must apologize for the sekirei my friend here has defeated...the last thing you would want right now is MBI picking up one of your allies' sekirei." Higa looks a little down for his hatred of MBI and how noisy they can be in other's privitcy.

"That is alright, after all she was only one more corpse in this game of lust and blood." Higa's words make Kira want to beat the shit out of him but Sano holds her back as Niheru pulls out a folder of documents and places them on Higa's desk. "What are these?" Higa asks.

"Its a contract that states the terms of an allience between you and Mikogami of the South. Before you say anything, Imagine, the East and South using their power and resources to over take the other territories of the city and than maybe even crush MBI." Higa nods in intrigue.

"I will look over it." Niheru snaps his fingers and the three sekirei begin to sink into Niheru's darkness.

"Fairwell Higa." They bow before completely disappearing in the darkness. Outside of the building, they all appear out of the darkness, Sano looked very uncomfortable with that short ride.

"Niheru-sama, the next time you make us leave in your darkness can you please give me a heads up before we do that. That was creepy." He shivers as Kira sighs.

"Crybaby. There isn't anything wrong with traveling through darkness or shadows, which ever we were just traveling through." Niheru looks at the both of them.

"Enough! I don't want infighting to spoil anything." Kira looks confused.

"Spoil what?" She asks. Niheru smirks.

"The Fall of Higa and Mikogami." Niheru says as he begins to walk. Kira nods, liking the idea of the two most influencial ashikabi being put in there places. Sano follows, knowing all to well that there must be more to this; he tries to mentally figure out what Niheru wants Higa and Mikogami's downfall, and why Niheru also is curious about Ichi and why they didn't chase after him that night when the Discard Ones attacked Ichi. None of this is making any sense to Sano and he usually is about to figure out what Niheru is plotting due to the fact they are close friends.

All the way in Fiji, tanning on the beach in bikinis that make most male beach goers stare uncontrollably, Niumi and Sakuya lay, relaxed and calm. Niumi is wearing a dark green one that has bad ass on her behind while Sakuya's bikini is sky blue and has one pink heart on her side of her top and one heart on her behind.

"Sakuya, are you sure it was okay to leave Ichi all alone in the house with money hidden in random different places?" Sakuya sighs, she was trying to enjoy her first vacation in a hundred years.

"He is going to be fine, Niumi. Now quit worring about him and enjoy the vacation that he was able to convice Reiten into taking with us before all of that worrying gives you wrinkles." Niumi instantly pulls out a mirror for she has a fear of getting wrinkles like most women do though most women aren't daughters of a spirit being that happens to be god. Sakuya giggles at Niumi. "I was joking sis, so please relax, you aren't going to get wrinkles." Niumi takes a sigh of relief as a thought enters Sakuya's head.

'If anyone would find out your little secret, Niumi...I don't think you would be safe again.' Reiten walks over to the girls, in his normal suit and tie which is weird but than again he really doesn't understand the need for a vacation thus he viewed them as something that wasn't real until Ichi was able to convice him that vacation is meant to be a change of pace for people and a means to relax. Never the less, whether Reiten complete agrees with the idea or meaning of Vacation, he has himself a cocktail in both hands, one is blue and the other is orange with a lemon slice. He hands the blue cocktail to Sakuya and he kisses her on the cheek before his voice enters her mind.

'You need to stop thinking about that and go do something with her...or do you want me to give you some more pleasant enjoyment.' Sakuya smiles.

"Maybe we'll do that later." She says aloud. Reiten nods as Niumi rushes over and takes the orange cocktail without asking than she grabs Sakuya's arm.

"Come on Saku-chan, lets go dash the hopes of people by playing around in the water." Sakuya loves the idea as she gets up thus the sisters head off down the beach some ways, Reiten takes a seat were Niumi was sunbathing.

'Twins...you got to love em.' He thinks like a normal male would as he uses his psychic powers to get himself some Lunar Sunshines for his own enjoyment. 'I just hope by the end of today, somebody has to be blasting off again.' He thinks again before shutting his eyes and pretending to be relaxing.

On the streets of Teito, Minato, Tsukiumi, Musubi, and Kazehana stroll down the middle of the road, not a soul in sight. Kazehana is used to this feeling of emptiness from her experience in the Discipline Squad, she is staying ever on guard and listening to the wind. Tsukiumi too is on edge but she lacks the experience of large scale combat thus she is more uneasy about the liveless streets. Musubi looks ready for a fight on the outside, on the inside, she is worried about Orihime for when they left, she was balling her eyes out in the bathtub, alone.

"Stop." Kazehana says, they all pauses as a horde of sekirei and ashikabi encircle them.

"They is so many." Minato nerves are starting to get the best of him as Tsukiumi and Musubi go over to comfort him.

"It'll be alright Minato. We can get through this." Tsukiumi says.

"Hey! That's my line, Tsukiumi!" Musubi states wanting to have been the one to say what Tsukiumi said.

"This isn't the time Musubi." Tsukiumi has her head on a swival as a couple of the ashkabi nod.

"The Blonde one with her panties flashing in the wind is right. You Northerns aren't getting to to Teito Tower..."

"At least not willingly." Two of the crowd say as Tsukiumi looks at Kazehana for she has to be the only one who could have baited those monkeys into making a remake about her panties. Everyone prepares for a fight until the roar of a motor cycle rolling down the street gets all of the none important ashikabi and sekirei to look away, giving Minato and his girls the chance to escape as the biker dude pulls right into the middle of the crowd and removes his helmet.

"Yo! Am I late for the action?" The biker dude asks as he gets off his biker and one of the ashikabi walks over, who has balled his fist up.

"Of coarse you idiot! And what is worst you let the Northerners get away!" The random ashikabi tries to throw a punch but all that happens is the biker ashikabi kicks him right in the face. The random ashikabi's sekirei looks pissed as she hurls her ball and chain at the back of the biker's head, so blood leaks out of the biker's head in a cartoony fashion.

"Oh no you just did not hit me with a heavy metal object!" The biker gets serious as a full on brawl begins between ashkabi and sekirei alike.

At the base of Teito tower, Minato's group has just arrived at the front door. Musubi stops.

"Musubi is something the matter?" Kazehana asks and everyone else stop as well.

"I know this might not be a good idea but do you think we can climb or fly up to the top of the tower from the outside?" Musubi asks hestiatly, Minato looks up.

"It seems like a good idea Musubi but I'm not sure if we should attempt some like that when the building obviously has elevators." Musubi sighs.

"Okay Minato..." She says as they are unaware that Chad was laying in wait for them if they would have done Musubi's plan, Chad walks away from the 20th floor windows and as he makes it to the emergancy hidden Elevator, the ashikabi of the discipline Squad, Ichinomi, walks out of the hidden elevator and touches Chad's false sekirei symbol.

"Influence Cease." Ichinomi says that as Chad's symbol glows full bring green and the implant, that manipulated his spirit energy to mimic a sekirei's, falls out. Chad feels the sudden change in himself and he feels normal again.

"What did you just do?" Chad asks, Ichinomi looks at him.

"The power of my Full bring, Influencer...its nothing special, I can put my spirit energy inside of non living objects and manipulate them...It nothing to fancy about mine, I can only influence up to three things at one time." Ichinomi says as he picks up the implant.

"I'm still fairly new to my powers but I'm gain I was able to make you and that Uyru guy my temporary sekirei without that kissing crap, I might seem a little gay for how I am around the girls but that is only because I don't want them to become too attacted to me...I would only hurt them in the end." Chad stayed quiet as Ichinomi talked. Chad than nods.

"Why are you telling me all of this?" Chad asks, Ichinomi walks back into the elevator. Chad follows and as the elevator ends down below the lowest levels, Ichinomi hands Chad some documents.

"This city shall be where the war between Quincy and Shinigami restarts and now you need to get Captain Kurotsuchi and his Lt out of this place." The Elevator doors open and in the room are two tank that have both of the Kurotsuchis in them, Ichinomi goes back up the elevator, leaving Chad to his own devices. Back over to Minato's group and they are making their way up the seemly endless amount of stairs and floors as Musubi has that you should have did what I suggested face. They begin to walk through another bland ass hall way when Kazehana's superior sense senses some and without warning she blows Minato, Tsukiumi, and Musubi down the hall way as thick steel security doors drop down and serperate them from her as Benitsubasa appears in the sealed space.

"I think its time for round Two, you breezy whore." Kazehana flicks her hair back and giggles at Benitsubasa.

"I am going to have fun blowing you away, Washboard." Benitsubasa growls as she charges fist first at Kazehana, who dodges the punch that dents the steel and as they start their fight, Minato pounds away at the security door.

"Kazehana!" He screams right before Tsukiumi puts her hand on his shoulder.

"We need to keep moving Minato." Tsukiumi says trying to stay focused. Musubi grabs Minato's hand.

"Do not worry, Kazehana is strong like us and she won't lose, you see." Musubi's words reach his sense of common sense and he nods as they get back to assending the tower, his mind still a little worried about his sekirei...no his friend. They traveled three maybe four floors up and than as they walked though another bland hallway, Tsukiumi suddenly stops and than creates and fires her water arrows at Haihane who was waiting to flank them. Tsukiumi than encased her right arm in one of her Water blades.

"Minato, you and Musubi run past her when I make an opening for you alright and don't give me any shit, remember we are doing this to save a life and to repay a debt to the defeated." Tsukiumi says proudly, giving Minato no way to argue with her about the simantics of her plan. She slashes her blade at the so called blue sekirei and they lock blade to claws as Musubi grabbed Minato by the collars of his jacket and his shirt and dashed her way past the dueling sekirei and Haihane smirked.

"I can't wait to see their faces when they find you as a corpse!" Haihane gets away from Tsukiumi only to perform a spinning lung at her. None of our heroes realize they are begin watched by Minaka, and the Emperor of the Quincy (who I called Juha Bach since I've seen his name like that more often than Ywach or how ever else his last name is), Minaka is enjoy it as if he is playing rpg and fighting game mash up as Juha has a monitor focused only on Minato and Musubi, he remains stone cold when it comes to his facial expression, you really can't be sure what he could be thinking at the moment.

A few minutes later, down in the bellow ground level floors of the tower, Matsu and Ku have made there way into a large computer room. Matsu gets to the computer and begins to hack in as she is still a bit shocked by seeing Mutsu again, a man she hadn't seen since she left MBI all of those years ago. Ku watches in awe of her typing speed and Matsu almost makes it in when the girls hear something coming for them. It was some MBI security robots that look like balls.

"Ku, I need you to hold them off, I need more." Ku nods and with her plant, she begins to fend off the robo-balls. She hits and deflects them as best and as fast as she can. Desprite that, little Ku gets overwhelmed by the robo-balls and when it looks like she might get herself hurt, a bolt of lightning roars out of nowhere and disables the bots that could have hurt her. The Thunder sluts and Seo appear out of the door the girls used to come in there. The sluts shock the unliving circuits of the robo-balls and help Ku fend them off as Seo heads over to Matsu who is just a few key strokes away from getting in.

"Seo, you have wonderful timing." Seo smiles as the sounds of shocking metal and lashing plants can be hear.

"Well I guess I do some times..." He says as he moves his head closer to Matsu's ear. "I helping you out, can you help me out now?" He pulls out an SD card and shows it to her as he whispers the full details.

Outside of the tower and a hundred yards away on an office building that is out of the range of the tower if it would suddenly blow up, Uyru stands with Bambietta Blasterbine, Letter E for the Explosion and Bazz B, Letter H for the Heat. Uyru looks at them.

"So you both confirm that you have introduced yourself to the Thirteen Court Guard Squad Captains and Luietantents that are here and you say we are now in possession of the Daiguren Hyorinmaru, Senbonzakura Kaguyoshi, Jakkuho Raikoben Bankai(s), and have captured the Current Rulers of Hueco Mundo, Tia Halibel and Neliel. Is that correct?" Uyru asks and Bambietta nods.

"Yes four eyes, we have left most of the soul reapers stationed here injuried except for the Special War Materials known as Kenpachi Zaraki and Retsu Unohana..." She says as Bazz B puts his arm out in front of her to interrupt.

"That Zaraki guy prevented us from taking that Neliel arrancar chick and I would have kilt that white haired brat of a captain along with his harem if that crazy Unohana bitch wouldn't have literally scared the crap out of my back up." Bazz B said disrespecting Zaraki and Unohana at the same time, Uyru sighs.

"So we don't have Tia Halibel or Neliel?" Bambietta sighs.

"No we don't." Bambietta's words make Uyru a little flustered but he doesn't show it.

"It is fine, we still have time to capture them after all, the bombs you two enhanced earlier shall make the perfect distracts for Letter V to capture them, right Gremmy?" Uyru says as a early teenage aged boy appears out of the blue, and the looks on Bambietta and Bazz B's face show that they really don't like this kid.

"Yes Ishida-dono, I shall fetch them for the Emperor." Uyru turns around.

"I want them brought to me, His majesty doesn't need to be bothered by the impure beings." Gremmy nods with out argument and disappears as quickly and oddly as he appears. Bazz B shakes his head.

"How can you trust that kid?" Uyru smirks.

"Because he is the only one besides the Emperor who trusts me." Uyru boldly says as Bazz B doesn't say anymore only proving that Uyru is right about the trust issue. Bambietta on the other hand seems to unsure of her emotions for Uyru as she twiddles her destructive weaving fingers. "Any moment now, we shall see a beautiful sight." Uyru says as he begins to stare at the tower.

Back inside of the tower, thanks to Matsu's hacking skills, Tsukiumi and Kazehana have gained the upper hands in their fights and they now stand side by side on the same floor glaring down Haihane and Benitsubasa, whom seem to have taken a little damage on both their clothes and their skin.

"We're done here." Benitsubasa says as he slams her fist into the floor and makes an escape route that they take.

"Get back here Cowards!" Tsukiumi yells wanting to chase after them. Kazehana stops her.

"Tsukiumi, they obviously want us to them." Tsukiumi grinds her teeth for a moment but than calms down from the battle drunken state.

"Something doesn't feel right." Tsukiumi says a loud and before Kazehana could ask anything several exploses shake the tower. And on top of roof, Minato and Musubi have gotten there hands on the SD card that has the information they need to help Chiho when the tower started to shake.

"Well with that I'll be taking my leave." Minaka says as he hops inside of clock, which is in reality an escape shuttle that blasts him out of the atmostsphere and unknown to the Game Master, the Real Game Masters messed with the coordinates of the shuttle so he will be in space for a bit as Musubi takes Minato and they jump off the roof of the explosing building.

Elsewhere in Teito at little before the collapse of the tower, the injuried soul reapers have been gathered in houses that are on the same street as Maison Izumo, which belong to Miya due to some bad gambling choices on the behalf of the former owners. Unohana, Orihime, Isane(I finally got her name right), Hanataro, and several other members of Squad Four try tending to the wounded as Kenpachi and Yachiru stand guard outside. Orihime looks sad as she looks at the unconscious Rukia and Byakuya.

'Why are my friends getting hurt like this and I can't seem to do a damn thing about it?' She begins to sob as Neliel in her chibi Nel form makes her way onto Orihime's shoulder.

"What ith wrong?" Nel asks, Orihime doesn't answer for the answer should be clear as crystal but Nel isn't using her Neliel intelligence. Unohana walks over to them.

"I believe you need a moment to yourself, dear." Unohana says as she jesters to pick up Nel but Orihime looks at Unohana.

"I don't want to be alone right now..." Unohana nods.

"Alright than can you assist me in healing Luietantent Hinamori? She has 3rd degree burns and I don't think a young woman needs to have burn scars on her body." Orihime nods and walks with Unohana to Momo's aid. Next door, Captain Soi Fon looks annoyed and pissed, which seems to be the norm for her as Yoruichi is nowhere in sight.

'Lady Yoruichi...where did you go? And where is my Luientantent?' She can't sense Janic or Yoruichi's spiritual pressure at all as she slams her fist into the bed as she remembers what drew her to use and lose her bankai, the memory of all of there attacks not affecting that Oddly masked Quincy made her angry and she removed herself from the modified gigai and screamed her bankai's name only for it to fade from her and it to be used against her and she watched as Janic took the full force of her own bankai. Mean while in a room on the opposite side next to Momo's room, Toshiro sits, worried and upset, worried for Momo and upset about losing Hyorinmaru's bankai which also means Hyorinmaru can't keep his physical form intact since his main self isn't with Toshiro at the moment. Halibel watches Toshiro quietly, she is worried for Momo but she is more worried about how her mask has return to its original appearance and it is no longer tooth ear rings, she is afraid that he might not like her anymore. None of the can sense that the Quincy named Gremmy has made his way inside of the place as the collapse of the Teito tower shakes the whole city and gives Gremmy his opportunity to capture the arrancars and like that Halibel disappears from Toshiro's room just like Gremmy invisioned it so. He tries to grab up Nel as well but oddly enough Kenpachi walks back inside and due to Gremmy's imagination, he knows this isn't the time to challenge someone like Kenpachi without being prepared for a fight and so he leaves with one prize or so he thinks.

An hour later, at the site that was Teito tower it is now a ground zero of sorts as you can still hear the sounds of an epic battle happening as Musubi and Karasuba are engaged in a battle to the death, Musubi holding her own against the sheer power of Karasuba and her sword. Neither side is scoring a direct blow on their opponent and Karasuba only has ruined Musubi's modesty even more as those boobs bouncy around wildly as Musubi fights. Their battle practically pauses when Musubi sword catches Karasuba's blade. Neither side giving an itch, Minato and the others watching, seeing how having a building has taken its toll on all of them as Musubi's arms can keep Karasuba's blade from going down.

"You have grown strong Musubi...but not strong enough." Karasuba kicks Musubi into releasing her sword, it works but Musubi uses this opprotunity to get her way over to Minato and snag a kiss from him, her wings flow out of her back and than she dashes at Karasuba with everything she has and Karasuba charges at her with both hands on her sword. The clash between the two of them was so earth shattering that the ground caved in under them and Karasuba's sword cracks and the tip flies a few feet away. While Musubi falls to the ground five feet behind where they clashed.

"Musubi!" Minato runs over to his first sekirei and helps her up as best as he can but exhaustion overcomes her face as Karasuba makes her way over, Tsukiumi, Matsu, Ku, Kazehana and Homura, who is strangely still there, all get up and stand in her way.

"You will have to go though us first!" Tsukiumi yells as Minato can see how much everyone cares about each other, it is so strong that even Karasuba can feel it slightly and so she turns around.

"This battle is a draw." She says as she walks off, everybody falls to the ground thanks the heavens that they didn't have to continue the fight.

"Its over." Ku says out loud as everyone but Musubi, Matsu, and Minato cheered.

"It isn't over yet, Ku...we still have to get Chiho feeling better." Minato says, trying not to affect everyone's mood but he knows this game is far from over, even if its a game anymore.

After a few days, everyone from Minato's group is healed and healthy. Chiho is no longer sick and she begins to walk out of the hospital for the first time ever, though she still needs a wheel chair for her own safety. She looks up at the sky thinking of Uzume the whole time. Minato's mother is busy dealing with the construction of the new teito tower. The soul reapers are preparong to go into battle with the Quincy once more as the Quincy's full plans are still a mystery. The stage has been set for the beginning of the Third Stage of the Sekirei Plan and now all of the players and pawns now wait to see what the future has in store.

And We ain't done yet...To Be Continued in Next Arc...

Preview Segment:

Author: I'm glad everyone has enjoyed this chapter, and I hope you continue to read this fanfic as we are just about to head into the arc that I'm calling the Forlorn Ceremony!

Editor appearing like he just got off of work: *Yawn* Did you just finish this chapter yet? And what's this stuff about a Forlorn Creamatory? I am not okay with naming an arc of a fanfiction I edited after a place where milk is made.

Author facepalms: I know you just got off man but you mistook the word Ceremony with Creamatory? Besides why in the world would you think that I would name an arc with anything with a Creamatory?

Editor gives a evil glare: I know you too well, you would do it if the arc was nothing but fanservice!

Author just sighs: Why would I only do an arc of complete fanservice? Tell me!"

Editor raises a finger into the sky and one personal and long discussion later.

Author looks stunned: I guess your right.

Editor nod: Dam straight! Now cue one of the omakes so I can get out of my chicken smelling clothes.

Omake: Team Reiten vs Team Miya Round One The Pillow Flight? Part Two

Back in that place where Reiten's and Miya's teams are about to have at it. Little Sano glares up at Fuku, Seo looks miserable for his sekirei are ready to get some well deserved revenge, and Chad just isn't caring about what is happening with the others as he looks like a calm and relaxed giant waiting to smash his targets. Reiten snaps his fingers and a clock appears, set to count down from sixty.

"You may begin now." The clock starts and the first one to grab a pillow is Chad and with his strong right hook he sends one of the Thunder Sluts right into a near by building and the guys get a point. Fuku gets a pillows and tries to send Chad flying but even with Luck on her side, this giant didn't move and now the girls have negative one points.

"What the fuck? Why won't you fly?!" Fuku keeps hitting Chad with the pillow and with it failed flight, her team starts to get deeper and deeper into the hole.

"Fuku you lucky moron stop trying to get the big guy! We will keep losing points if we keeping failing to launch somebody." Fuku looks over at her team mates.

"He doesn't want to move and I'm going to keep hitting him until he flies like an Eagle." At that moment, Reiten starting thinking of an giant eagle from The Lord of the Rings and so he pops one up and as Fuku hits Chad with a pillow once more, the eagle swoops down and begins carrying Chad in its talons as Fuku smiles. "Fly like an Eagle. Yea!" She says with joy as everyone has that dumbfounded look on their smiles.

"How could that have happened?" He says with a giggle and as the time flew by, each time really challenged each other, people flew around and Chad was still flying around thanks to that eagle, Seo and Sano are in a real pickle here as Fuku somehow got a plane driven by drunken and wasted pilots to drop off a jar of giant pickles and they are stuck in one of the pickles as they are smacked and shocked through the air...well Seo is getting shocked, Sano is using his magnetic powers to change his charge of his magnetic field so he doesn't get shocked and he frees the both of the them from the pickle and it is now one minute to go and the teams are tied with thirty points each. The two guys grab the closest pillows and everyone charges at one another in an epic slow motion fashion than has the fans and their teammates on the edges of their seats, who will win this game? Find out In the next Omake!

Final Thoughts:

Author: Well I hope you all have enjoyed this chapter, I would have gotten it out sooner but I just realized how bad I can be at managing the use of my free time. Its already May for cry out loud! Editor's Final Thoughts will be added after he has attempted to fry me in a frier once or has denied me Pizza...hopefully he tries to fry me, Pizza is one of the greatest foods for crying out loud, you can make it in several different forms, you can practically top it with anything except for things that we don't like or know that should never go on one. Example: Freeze Dried Scorpion, just no. They belong in lollipops! And now, I must bid you all a kind goodbye until I start the Beginning of the Forlorn Ceremony Arc!

Next Time: The Three Stage Is Here! We hope you'll just us!
