II: My Lineage Which I Never Knew Of

M.G. Crystal: I would like to thank ChaosTatsumaki, Souls of the Blue Fire Phoenix and emelian65 for reviewing this story and giving me hope that I can do this story. I have been doubting myself that this won't be a great one, but I thank those two!

Old Man Zangetsu: And this chapter will answer your question, Souls of the Blue Fire Phoenix. And for those who are wondering which arc this is, it is the beginning of the Hueco Mundo arc.

Hichigo: "Mistress Galiancrystal doesn't own Bleach, only her and the Zanpakutō Summoner thingamajig. Got that?"


Prologue: Sanctuary

So many ups and downs

My heart's a battleground

I need true emotions

I need more affection than you know

I need true emotions


[My P.O.V.]

"What do you mean I'm stuck here until Kami says so!?" I yelled at the two Zanpakutō spirits, my hands clenched into fist of anger. "Like the old man has said Queen, you'll be here until Kami says so!" Hichigo yells back in irritation. No wonder mom calls me a "female Ichigo", it's because I got a short-temper, stubborn, and impulsive much like said Strawberry. Plus, it feels like I'm arguing with myself by arguing with Hichigo(-_-). "I believe that you're wondering why, don't you?" Asked Old Man Zangetsu as if it's the most obvious thing in the world. I could only nod in response as I cross my arms. "A long time ago, there was once a race that fought along the Shinigami, they were called "Zanpakutō Summoners" for they could communicate with the Zanpakutō spirits. Zanpakutō Summoners are connected with a certain Zanpakutō, it is known when the Summoner can enter the Shinigami's Inner World. The chosen Summoner and chosen Zanpakutō are connected to each other, and the chosen Zanpakutō is the main power the Summoner uses. The two races worked together until an unfortunate day happened, a Captain of a Division and a Summoner were together, but were mysteriously murdered. The Summoners blamed the Shinigami for the murder of their comrade while the Shinigami blamed them for murdering a comrade. A war raged against two races, the Summoners were losing quickly and the leader of the Summoners took a risk, he gathered all his strength and summoned a portal to another dimension and lead the surviving Summoners there to live in peace. This had happened about 115 years ago."

115 years ago? Then that means that Urahara wasn't a Captain and the Visored we're either Lieutenants or Captains! This makes me think, did Aizen cause this war between two races? "Some of the Zanpakutō, such as Katen Kyōkotsu, Sōgyo no Kotowari(Truth of Pisces), and Ryūjin Jakka(Flowing Blade-Like Flame) remember the war and can tell who's a Zanpakutō Summoner." Zangetsu explained and I asked, "So the reason I'm here is because…" I trailed off and he said, "Because you are a part of the Zanpakutō Summoner bloodline and it's time that the Shinigami need help from one to win the Winter War."

"If I'm a "Summoner"… then that means you guys are my "other", right?" I said. "Bingo!" Shouted Hichigo. "Now we need to get you trained." The Hollow grinned when he said training. I think I'm gonna go through Hell.


[Nobody's P.O.V.]

"Now let's start training Queen." Said Hichigo as Vicki's clothes had changed to a black long-sleeved shirt with a white Shinigami skull on the front of it, jet black skinny jeans with a light grey jacket wrapped around her waist, black Skechers, and black leather biker gloves. Her upper-back length brown-black hair was in a ponytail, letting her bangs frame her face. "As I told you before, just call me either Victoria or Vicki!" The brunette shouted at the Hollow Zanpakutō spirit. "We'll start with a simple lesson." Said Zangetsu as he jumped from his usual spot and walked towards his Hollow counterpart. "Reiatsu. First, take a deep breath as you clear your mind of everything. Do you see a light?" The teen uses the technique the Quincy counterpart had suggested and she closes her eyes to see a flame, a silverly blue flame that flickered. "Now try to grasp it and let it take shape." The close-eyed teen holds out her hand and in her mind, she tries to grasp the flame, but it seems to scoot away. "Come here…please." She thought as she tries to grasp it one more time and she does.

The flame was harmless in her hand as it glowed brighter to take shape as it does in reality as the two Zanpakutō spirits watch the girl's hand that forms a beam of light in it. It then flashed as a sword formed in her hand. It was a over-sized katana as long as her body had a rectangular bronze tsuba with a stylized flame pattern on the long sides, and decorative slits on the short sides. The hilt had red wrappings and two light blue tassels attached to the base. The teen opened one chocolate brown eye and then opened both to see Zangetsu's sealed form in her hand. "Woah…" She muttered as she examined the sword and puts both hands around it's hilt for she knows that it cannot be handle by just one hand, it needed both to use it's power. Memories of Cloud from Final Fantasy came to her mind on wielding a sword like this and did some practice swings, and failing miserably at the subject. "Looks like she could master controlling her reiastu." The Quincy counterpart thought but when he saw Vicki trip on her feet from practice wielding the large sword, he thought, "But needs help in Zanjutsu."

"Now that you have found your reiatsu. We'll began the next one, controlling it." Vicki nods as the Zanpakutō in her hand vanishes into silverly blue light. She raises an eyebrow at her hand but then dismisses the thought. "First, you'll try to raise it to your limit, then try to make it disappear." Zangetsu explained as the teen tries to do so, but is failing slightly. She thinks back on Dragon Ball Z on how they raised their power levels and tries to do the same. As her reiatsu rises, the breeze blows a bit harder as pebbles rise up from the ground and her hair is slightly floating. She starts to glow a pale light blue aura as she tries to rise her reiatsu level to it's limit. Thinking about what she could remember in The Last Airbender series, breathe in then breathe out. The pale light blue aura appears again then fades as she breathes to control it. A thought comes to her mind as she lowers it to where it could be just a average Human's reiatsu, then goes to the max to surprise the two spirits. Hichigo smiles his usual grin at the teen's achievement as the older spirit nods in approval.

"Now on to the next lesson, Zanjustu." Zangetsu says as Hichigo disappears into his shikai form and into Zangetsu's outstretched hand. He points his sword at the teen and the teen takes a step back and summons Zangetsu's sealed form and takes Cloud's battle position. "You must act on instinct to survive this battlefield." Zangetsu disappears as the thirteen year old looks around to try to find her teacher. "You're rather slow aren't you?" A bone-chilling voice says as the teen manages to duck in time before the sword could slice her. The teen jumps back to her feet to find out that it's Hichigo that nearly sliced her. Grabbing her Zanpakutō, she runs towards the Hollow to attack him, only to cut a small piece of clothing. "You need to do better than that!" Hichigo said as he uses the black bandages of his Zanpakutō and throws the sword at the brunette. She ends up with a small cut on her face with a few strands of her bangs cut. Recognizing the move as the "Deadly Darts" move he used on Ichigo and Muramasa, she learned that the attack is limited to three strikes per swing much like Zabimaru's shikai, two to attack and the third to retreat to strike again.

"Count when he swings, remember that." She thought and Hichigo swings his shikai Zanpakutō at her and she moves forward and to the side to dodge it. "One." Hichigo moves the bandage again to strike, and it makes a cut on the teen's right arm. "Two. Come on, you can make this! Just one more." Hichigo then brings back his sword and prepares to swing it again. "Three!" The teen then swings her Zanpakutō at Hichigo and it went from his shoulder to his chest. But the wound that Hichigo had recently received healed quickly. "Looks like you learn quickly." He comments on the teen that didn't knew Zanjutsu, but had managed to attack him and give him an injury.


[My P.O.V.]

My grip on the Zanpakutō loosened as I dropped to my knees, panting from the sudden burst of energy I put to my attack on Hichigo. I bet if I did that attack to Kenpachi, I doubt that I could make a scratch on him with my Zanpakutō. Heck, I doubt that would even tickle him! I then felt something fall from my chin as I look down to see the cuts I have received were oozing blood onto the ground. I wish I could've vomited at the sight but I've seen worse. I've seen a pipe go through two teens, a pipe through someone's head and much worse from "Untold Stories of the ER". I then remember how the 4th Divison use Kidō to heal the injured Divison members. I place my left hand on the wound on my right arm and focused on letting the reiatsu flow from my hand and into the wound. I felt it tingle as the skin weaved itself back together along with the fabric of the sleeve, my eyes widening and probably along wit the other two spirits of a technique which I didn't know how to. "Thank you Unohana for being the captain of the Division of healing." I silently thanked her as I began to feel slightly dizzy from healing myself. I'll be needing more training on Zanjutsu and Kidō. Maybe I'll learn the art of Shunpo too. "Say Zangetsu," I said as I got up from my short dizziness, my Zanpakutō dismissed and with my hand still over my arm. "Your master…" I continued as I looked at the Quincy counterpart of the Zanpakutō. "Can you ask him where he's at?" Zangetsu nodded in response and closed his eyes in order to communicate with Ichigo. We waited for a short 2 minutes and then Zangetsu said, "Ichigo is with his friends at Urahara's to rescue Orihime. We'll have time for you to master your powers." I nodded as I turned my head to where the moon would've been since this place was turing to the night.

"What ever those voices from the dream said…"


Flashback

"…Help…_asa…" A worried voice said that.

"…Rescued…_une… My _ sis…" A man's voice said in a worried voice.

"Indeed she is the _…" Now a old man's voice said that.

"…Man of hollowness and villainy…"

"…Must be destroyed…"

"…Beings cloaked in white…"

"…They must die…"

"You must save the ones who serve to protect!"


End Flashback

"It looks like I'll be here until I complete something for them." I thought as I walked to a opened window which lead to a room with a bed. I went through the window and laid on the bed. "Even if I'm weak or don't complete training." I clenched my fists and then unclenched them as I pulled the gloves off and shoes off. "I will defeat Aizen!" I slightly shouted and then let the sweet comfort of sleep lure me into it's silence.


[Nobody's P.O.V.]

"So you'll think she'll unlock her powers?" Asked Hichigo to Zangettsu who went back to his usual spot on the flag pole. "She will be able to do so. Didn't you see that she's much like Ichigo?" The Hollow chuckles and says, "She is. I could feel it when we argued and when we sparred. Kid's got potential." The two spirits then knew that she'll make an impact on everyone in this dimension.


To Be Continued In…

M.G. Crystal: So how's that for a chapter? Hoped that you enjoyed it!

Hichigo: I have enjoyed fight you…

M.G. Crystal: You would be saying that Hichi-chan.

Hichigo: Don't call me that!

Zangetsu: As those two argue with each other, please review, follow, and/or favorite. Flamer gets to face Hichigo weaponless.
