Chapter 00 – Dream on

-Wahrwelt, the end stages of the Thousand Year Blood War-

Gabriele Geschlechtliche (Sternritter V the "Vampire") was walking down the empty streets of what had once been the Soul King Palace. The air was blowing through her beautiful red and black hair making it dance around her shoulders. She was dressed in her casual attire, a one-piece swimsuit which showed an impressive cleavage and only left her nipples and private parts covered. The upper part of the piece of clothing had a v-shaped design that covered her nipples and stretched down to her private area.

Gabriele had used this outfit before back when she took those pictures for His Majesty's Christmas Card. A sudden movement caught Gabriele's eye to her right. For a moment it had looked like a shadow of a 7" tall canine creature for some reason, but it quickly changed into the forms of eleven individuals: a geeky girl with red hair, another geeky girl with black hair and flat chest, a rather curvaceous woman with blonde and purple hair, a young man with blonde hair, an insectoid creature in white uniform, a man in shining white armor, a young man with white hair sporting a poncho, a bespectacled young man with jet black hair, a crazed blonde guy with a goatee, a young man with black hair and chiseled physique, and a tall pale figure with a kasa hat.

The arrivals were the other six of the Strongest Seven in His Majesty's army – Onmar Gunther (Sternritter G), Joseph Fehler (Sternritter M), Haans Lander (Sternritter P), Zeit Mehre (Sternritter O), the Knight (Sternritter K) and Disce Sideyatosiya Kirmie (Sternritter H) – accompanied by five other Sternritters: the fourth of the Schutzstaffel Beraht Kailash Wakahisa (Sternritter A), Nina Redwing (Sternritter B), Aya Herz (Sternritter S), Lenora Poultery (Sternritter C) and Basilisk Jones (Sternritter D).

Sternritter A the "Awakening" Beraht Kailash Wakahisa had been technically the first one His Majesty had discovered but one of the last to receive its schrift. It had the ability, among other things, to read a person's mind when speaking their thoughts out loud at double speed as well as show them their past, present and the future. Beraht had always lectured her about her supposed lack of morality and tried to dissuade her from her chosen path, pointing at some future tragedy.

Sternritter B the "Blood" Nina Redwing was a preachy little bitch with red hair. For a geeky girl she looked rather cute, in Gabriele's opinion. If only she wasn't such an uptight, cold-hearted moralist with a rather close-minded approach to comraderie; she and Gabriele may have hit it on. The ice-cold bitch had used her schrift on Gabriele bac when they had first met. It had felt like her insides had been starting to liquefy. She had only been doing her job that night.

Sternritter C the "Conqueror" Lenora Poultery was a mediocre Sternritter in His Majesty's army at best. Her abilities were focused on creating a terrain suitable for the soldat to fight in. She could shift the battleground to her advantage and, in her Vollständig, she could combine her Sklaverei with her command ability in order to control her troops like puppets. None of that mattered against Gabriele, however, as she held no dominion what so ever over her or her vampires. In fact, Gabriele couldn't believe it when His Majesty replaced her with someone like Lenora. Training the early recruits and espionage had been just one of the things that had made her His Majesty's favorite. The only one she saw as a competition was her identical twin sister Karin Gabriele Susanne Geschlechtliche. Like her she was highly sexual and manipulative. However, unlike Gabriele, Karin was a more ditsy and light-hearted personality – a result of her different upbringing since the two of them had spent their early childhood in separate homes. She was more likely to crack a joke than her more serious sister and she was also one of the only Sternritters Gabriele had really bonded with. As sisters they shared a special bond that not even either of their death could really shatter.

Sternritter D the "Dimension" Basilisk Jones was a truly pathetic excused for a Sternritter. His Majesty needed strong, capable warriors by his side in order to take the Soul Society. So, why on Earth did he select that weakling coward to join his army? That had been something Gabriele had never understood. Other than his ability to shift between first, second and third dimensions; which – Gabriele must admit – seemed fascinating; he had little to no use on the battlefield. Even his ability to manipulate the fourth dimension, time, was more dangerous to his allies than his enemies. He had once almost caused Gabriele to overestimate the time she had left in her Vollständig Zweite Stufe when she had been secretly training to use it more efficiently. That sneaky little bastard only ever used his "shi" ability to save his own sorry skin. That time he had managed to get on Haans' bad side and in dread had used it. What a prick!

Sternritter G the "Gravity" Onmar Gunther was considered by His Majesty to be his greatest creation, the strongest of his Sternritters. He had abilities that focused on manipulating gravity of himself and others. With his G-abilities he could increase the personal gravities of any person or an object he wished. In his base form he could increase the gravity up to nine times to that of normal. In his Vollständig, however, he could easily dial it up to ninety. His T-abilities allowed him to lighten anything he touched and make them faster. The price for his T-abilities was a tunnel vision and a huge strain it placed on his body. His two ultimate techniques were the ability to stop time with G-900 and the ability to create a black hole out of thin air. Gabriele hated him for stealing His Majesty's attention away from her. He had weaknesses, though. Apart from the strain on his body, his powers were generated by nine gravity nodes on his body. There were two on his shoulders, two on his pectoral muscles, two on either side of his abdomen, two on the inside edges of his elbows, and one in the dead center of his body. Gabriele knew that anyone who could destroy all of them could kill him.

Sternritter H the "Hive mind" Disce Sideyatosiya Kirmie was an insectoid Sternritter considered by His Majesty as one of the Seven Strongest. He could take control of any insects in his vicinity and swarm over his opponents. In his Vollständig he could make the bugs mate with each other and increase their population exponentially in a matter of seconds.

Sternritter K the "Knight" was a tall, imposing man in a suit of armor who held honor, valor and loyalty in very high regard. He too was considered one of the Strongest Seven because of his ability to increase his physical strength almost limitlessly. If only he knew His majesty's true character, he might not have been so willing to follow his lead.

Sternritter M the "Mistake" Joseph Fehler was an average man with seemingly nothing out of the ordinary about him. His reiatsu wasn't that huge, his form wasn't that muscular, and his skills were average; and yet, His Majesty considered him to be among the Strongest Seven. That's because he had the ability to throw his opponents' senses off – to force them into making mistakes. In his Vollständig he was capable of projecting entire scenarios into his opponents' minds.

Sternritter O the "Omni-direction" Zeit Mehre possessed the strongest reiatsu out of anyone in His Majesty's army. Like Gabriele, he was effectively immortal due to his ability to move in any direction within his personal timeline. This meant that he could make himself instantly younger or older if needed in order to heal or strategize in his fights. This coupled with his complete understanding of all forms of martial arts made him one of the Strongest Seven.

Sternritter P the "Psycho-path" Haans Lander was an insane man with blonde hair, a goatee and a tattoo on his face. While his body was reasonably muscular, the real reason why His Majesty considered him one of the Strongest Seven was because of his immensely powerful telekinesis. Gabriele knew that if he knew her weaknesses, he could easily kill her in direct confrontation.

Sternritter S the "Stained-Glass" Aya Herz was the weakest of all 27 Sternritters in His Majesty's army. Yet she possessed on the army's most lethal abilities: the ability to turn anything she touched into glass. Gabriele was not sure what would happen to her if she managed to touch her – would she be killed as well? She frequently accompanied the Knight, for some reason.

The eleven knights stopped before Gabriele and demanded that she'd go with them to Yhwach's throne room to receive judgement for murdering her brethren in cold blood. Earlier that day, Gabriele had used Sklaverei to absorb 14 of His Majesty's Sternritters into her body along with the bulk of his soldat forces. Gabriele refused the Sternritters' request, after which she activated her Vllständig Zweite Stufe. In response to this, the eleven Sternritters before her all activated their Vollständigs at the same time.

As light soared to the skies, the pillars made of that light around the Sternritter group shattered, revealing… nothing? For some reason none of the eleven Sternritters had managed to their Vollständigs.

"Sklaverei." Gabriele announced with a sickly sweet smile on her face.

"I used that technique to absorb the energy released by your Vollständigs, and now I'm using it to end you…"

No sooner had Gabriele said that when Lenora, Basilisk, Nina and Aya all began to scream in excruciating pain. Gabriele's Sklaverei, the strongest of all His Majesty's Sternritters, ripped the four less powerful Star Knights before her to shreds. The Knight, despite taking up a defensive stance, had lost his armor to her Sklaverei while nearby Beraht looked down at the 5"3' tall woman with a look of pity and sorrow as if to lament her decision.

Kirmie and Zeit did not expect Gabriele's Sklaverei to be this powerful and as a result lost their lives to it.

"Gabriele, I implore you! Stop this madness at once and come with us! Please!" the Knight pleaded with her.

In response to this Gabriele plunged the taloned hand of her Zweite Stufe into his chest and crushed his heart with one squeeze. The Knight's dead body immediately became food for her Sklaverei, leaving only three opponents for her.

"This has gone on for long enough…" Onmar stated and put his foot down.

"G-9."

Onmar was shocked when nothing happened and Gabriele wrenched his arms off with the help of her Sklaverei.

"Wh-what?! Why?! M-my gravity nodes?! You absorbed them all with your Sklaverei?! That's impossible!"

"Not impossible, improbable. With the light of 23 Sternritters permeating my body, my reiatsu and other powers are now far beyond yours."

Following this Gabriele pulled Onmar's guts out and used them to break his neck. The strongest of the Sternritters fell to the floor, dead, with Sklaverei ripping his body apart and integrating his reishi particles to Gabriele's.

Suddenly, Gabriele felt her entire body lock up by invisible force. Haans had stopped her with his telekinesis and Joseph seemed ready to execute her with his seeleschneider.

Suddenly, Joseph's eyes opened wide with shock as Gabriele had grown a third forearm out of the inside edge of her right elbow and plunged it into his chest. Sacrificing her former right forearm, Gabriele manifested a small crossbow in her new right hand. With it she shot an arrow clean through Joseph's dying body and hit Haans right between his eyes, splitting the crazed blonde man's head in two. Released from the telekinetic grip Gabriele absorbed the last two opponents, just like the ones before them, with her Sklaverei, ripping them to shreds in order to fuel her own power.

At that moment a familiar voice called out to her.

Gabriele! Mistress, you need to wake up! We're being invaded by an unknown enemy!

Waking up in her chambers, Gabriele realized it had all just been a dream. She was in her own bed with her two loyal aides, Matthias and Lara, and her identical twin sister Karin Gabriele Susanne Geschlechtliche.

"Uuuummmm, why did you wake me up? I was having the most wonderful dream…" Gabriele stretched and yawned as the aides looked at her with concerned faces.

"Mistress, we're being invaded by an unknown enemy who has already taken out a substantial number of soldat and low-ranking Sternritters. His Majesty needs us to defend our home!"

Gabriele's eyes opened with shock. Who would dare to invade Vandenreich at His Majesty's watch?

"We also want to know more about you, Mistress. Who you are and where you come from."

"Alright, I'll tell you; but it'll have to wait until we've dealt with the invading enemy." Gabriele said with determination on her beautiful face.

I know that nobody's probably reading this, but this chapter teases an enemy capable of taking on the entire Vandenreich army all by herself. If you want to know who that is and what will happen, please add Gabriele's backstory to your favorites.
