Chapter 1036 Salazar Castle
I don't own Bleach or any of the powers and gear used in this story.
Leon's group managed to defeat the Zealots that attacked them and they looked at the bodies.
"Let's go." Leon said.
They went foward and Leonidas looks around before looking at Victor.
"Did you girlfriend find the samples?" Leonidas asked.
"Not yet, just be pacient she can't do everything." Victor said.
Judai looks around for anything with ghouls around it would make things more dangerous.
They then saw two statues shooting fire to block the path.
"Well looks like we'll have to find a lever." Victor said.
They saw a staircase going down.
"Judai watch over Ashley." Leon said and he shrugs.
The trio went down and they saw a guy inside of a cell trapped with bindingd wearing a iron mask but his eyes are stitched shut.
"That guy must be another one of them." Victor said.
"But the eyes, like a bird that Hunts, they must have stitched the eyes shut to subdue the bloodlust." Leonidas gives a theory out.
They noticed a lever next to him and Leon grunts. "Great."
He walks to the door and opens it, the Garrador roars breaking free as he revealed sharp claws.
Leon jumps back at the Garrador swings the claws around.
Victor goes to shoot but Leonidas stops him. "Wait."
The Garrador was looking around.
"It tracks by sound." Leonidas said.
Leon then shall a bell and shoots it making the Garrador charge at it stabbing the Bell and wall.
He got stuck and they saw the parasite on it's back.
"Shoot that thing." Victor said.
They opened fire on the parasite making the Garrador be in pain, he swings his claws around trying to hit anything.
He charges at them and they jumped in different directions.
Leon got a shot and shoots his back making it mad, he dodges another stab as the Garrador hits the wall again.
Leonidas fires at the monster's parasite and they kept shooting at it with many close falls from it.
Garrador charged at Victor before a shot from above took it down.
They looked and saw Judai with a sniper rifle.
"I thought I said for you to look after Ashley." Leon said.
"I didn't leave her side." Judai said and Ashley was behind him waving at the group.
"Good point." Victor goes to the lever and pulls it down.
The fire of the statues stopped making them go up to where the path was.
They arrived at a big hall with structures, then Zealots came with shields, maces and crossbows.
"Okay go time again." Victor said.
"Guys look levers." Ashley points at one above a wall.
"I'll go." Leonidas runs towards it and jumps over the wall, he shoots many of them back before starting to turn it.
The bridge starts to come down to give them a way out.
"We gotta protect Leonidas." Leon said.
They fire many of them back before Judai got taken away.
"Judai!" Ashley said.
He got sent to another room and saw Nutcracker again.
"Well Arachne wants you now, so i'll do it, but she didn't say I couldn't have a snack first." She licks her lips.
Judai frowns and puts on his belt while putting the code.
STANDING BY!
"Henshin." He puts the phone in.
COMPLETE!
He transforms into Faiz and gets ready.
She charges at him but he blocks her attacks and goes around avoiding her kagunes.
He got hit from the sides and sent against a wall.
She chuckles going up to him. "It seems your going down."
She stabs at him but he dodged it and kicks her away.
Nutcracker got mad and charges at him while he leans to the sides avoiding her attacks.
"It doesn't matter if you have this armor, i'll make sure to kill the rest of your race." She said.
He stares at her before he avoided another strike from her, he then takes out the Faiz Axel watch and puts the memory on the phone while using the memory of the phone on his faiz shot.
READY! COMPLETE!
He then changes into Axel form and looks at her.
"What is this form?" She said.
Nutcracker charges at him and he presses a button.
START UP!
He goes fast hitting her many times before she got sent through a wall.
He then runs off leaving her there, Nutcracker was in pain before she saw Sadie staring down at her with a grin.
"Who are you?" The ghoul got nervous.
Sadie smirks and grabs her.
With the others
They were still fighting the Zealots before a blur hits the enemy many times.
3, 2, 1!
They exploded and the group saw Faiz in his other form.
DEFORMATION!
He changed back to base and looks at them.
"Glad to see your alright." Victor said.
Faiz nodded and Ashley smiles seeing that Judai is alright.
The bridge went down and Leonidas came back. "It's done."
They went to the front door and saw a hallway that lead to a dead end in one part.
Ashley felt sick and goes foward while coughing.
"Ashley." Leon looks at her.
Then spears came out from bellow making her get seperated, they got surprised as more came making Ashley run foward.
She goes against a wall and turns around but then straps came out of it trapping her.
"Ashley!" They got worried.
"Guys!" She struggles before the wall rotates making her go away.
Watching them was Arachne from her orb.
"Oh too bad, it seems she's now far from Judai." She chuckles.
"Also Nutcracker is such a failure, it seems she wasn't going to be with Judai but just eat him, but anyway I have extras."
A new ghoul came out being a slender young woman with long silver hair, purple eyes, and fair skin. She wears a form-fitting purple dress that ruffles from the waist down, earrings and matching bracelets and hair accessories. She also wears long purple boots that almost reach up to her knees. She has a tattoo on the outer corner of her left eye that resembles a stylized spider web.
"Rou you'll replace her." Arachne said.
"Yes princess Arachne." She bows.
Watching were two Orphnochs being the Butterfly and Giraffe ones.
"Also who told Nutcracker I was going to destroy all Orphnochs?" Arachne said.
"It seems she got it wrong?" Rou said.
"Well anyway, it's time to see what will happen next." Arachne said and they nodded.
Note: Nutcracker is defeated and taken by Sadie, but Ashley got trapped with Nutcracker replaced by Rou.
