Chapter 1010 El Gigante
I don't own Bleach or any of the powers and gear used in this story.
Leonidas group waited for Leon to wake up and he grunts.
"Leon, finally to see your okay." Victor said.
They help him up and he said: "Just had the strangest nightmare."
"Well we'll have to check on that later." Leonidas looks outside since it was night time and started to rain. "It's been six hours ever since you passed out, we've waiting for far too long."
"Let's go then." Leon said.
They went out with many covering themselves from the rain.
They went through a gate and saw a ganado walking towards them.
It twitched before it's head exploded, then from the neck came a parasite with tendrils looking at them.
"What the fuck?!" Victor got surprised.
"Hmmm, it seems this is similar to Birkin's G-Virus." Leonidas thinks about it.
It makes a sickle like tentacle and swings it at them making the group dodged and Leon blasted it's head off with the shotgun killing it.
"Okay, so no shooting them in the head if we don't want to face those parasites." Victor said.
"Isn't this a reverse what you did before." Judai said.
They went foward with more coming so they went to the other side and fired back at them, Judai takes out his scythe and slashes ones torso in half.
Leon then saw a cave in the distance. "Let's go inside there."
"If you say so." Leonidas said.
Leon throws a grenade and it landed near the Ganados blowing them up.
"Overkill much." Victor said.
They went inside of the cave and saw a round insignia on the wall.
"Well that can open door to the church." Leonidas said.
"Yeah, looks like I made a good guess." Leon smirks.
"Don't get cocky." Leonidas told him.
They took the object from the wall making it open a secret passage.
"Huh secret room." Victor said.
They went through the tunnel and saw a dock with a boat, they used the boat to go foward down a river and they arrived at they're stop.
They got off and went foward to see a shack there, they looked inside and saw the Merchant in his own shop.
"Well look who we found, nice shop you got here." Victor said.
"It's one of my many stores." Merchant said.
"Well I got some stuff to show you." Judai said.
"What're ya sellin?" Merchant asked.
Judai puts a bunch of jewels he found on the way.
"Heh, heh, heh... Thank you." He takes them and gives them some cash.
"Good thing he buys and sells stuff." Victor said to Leon who nodded.
They bought more stuff and got ready.
"Also strangers, theres a beast on the other side they'll send out so be careful." Merchant warns them.
They got worried about his words and until now he didn't lie to them so what is this beast.
They went to a exit going to a strange place fhag seems like a arena.
"Oh crap." Victor looks down.
The gates closed and they looked at the exit, then many Ganados came and they went to a big gate with some opening it, then they started to Pull something out revealing a giant called El Gigante.
"He's a big one." Victor said.
It roars before it frees it self and starts to crush the Ganados killing them one by one.
"I expected that." Leonidas said.
El Gigante swings his arms at them but they jumped back avoiding it.
"Surround it." Leon said.
They went around the beast and start to shoot at it making it grunt, Gigante then tries to crush Leonidas who dodges him and Leon throws a grenade at it's back making the giant grunt before going to one knee, they saw the parasite come out from it's back making Judai charge foward and he starts to cut it with a knife he got doing some damage.
El Gigante pushes him off as the parasite goes back in making them get ready.
They heard a howl and saw a dog on the wall looking at them.
"That dog?" Judai said.
Flashback
While he was walking foward with the others back at the village Judai heard a animal in pain.
He looks and saw a dog stuck in a bear trap as it's leg was caught, it was crying trying to be free.
Judai stares at the scene and sighs going up to the trap, he pulls it open letting the dog go free before barking happily running off.
Judai stares where the dog went and goes to meet the others.
Flashback ends
Judai is surprised that it came back, the dog jumps down and barks at the monster.
Gigante looks at it and growls before trying to crush it but the dog avoided the giant.
"Shoot it." Victor said as they opened fire again making the giant grunt as it tries to hit them but they kept dodging it, the dog also distracted the monster giving them many chances to shoot at it.
Judai then shoots at it with a shotgun making the giant grunt and reveal the parasite.
Leon jumps towards it slashing at the parasite before it sprays a liquid making the giant fall down dead.
Judai saw the dog go up to him being happy as he stares back at it.
He patted him since the dog helped them out.
"It seems he likes you." Leon said.
"He did a good job." Judai said in his blank stare.
"Well we can't have him follow us since it will be dangerous." Leonidas said.
They make a small portal as the go goes inside.
"Well you got yourself a new pet." Victor looks at Judai.
"Whatever." He goes foward.
With the dog
He was at the house Judai was staying and Aya was hugging him and laughing while he licks her face.
"We have a new doggy." She said.
She was happy that Judai sent him to they're house.
Back with the group
They arrived at the church and opened it with the symbol to get inside.
They looked around and Victor said: "It's quiet, too quiet."
"Let's find Ashley." Leon said.
They searched the place and found a ladder, they went up to the second floor seeing a door.
"Found her." Victor said.
They went inside and they heard a girl. "Get away!" She throws wood at them and they dodged it.
She goes to a corner and sits down scared.
"Calm down, my name is Leon and I was sent here by the president to rescue you." Leon said.
"My father." She smiles.
"Yes, these are my allies." Leon points at the others.
"Hey." Victor waves.
She nodded and saw Judai who was looking outside. "He seems bored."
"He's always like that." Victor shrugs it off.
They went outside and went downstairs.
"We finally meet." They saw Saddler come out from the shadows.
"So your the leader?" Leonidas said.
"Of course, i've been watching you all." Saddler then looks at Judai. "It seems we had the pleasure of meeting Judai Suzugamori."
"You know him?!" The group said.
"Yes, my granddaughter has a interest in the boy." He said.
"Your granddaughter, I wonder who you tricked to carry your child." Victor said.
Saddler chuckles. "It seems you found the girl, but we managed to give her a gift."
Ashley then touches her neck. "I think they injected me with something."
"Yes, we were going to return her with a deal, and we gave your American friend one too. As they'll grow to make your one of us." Saddler said.
"Like Hell that will happen!" Victor said.
"We need to go." Leon said.
Cult soldiers came with crossbows making them run, Judai grabs Ashley and they jumped outside a window crashing on to bags outside.
"That was too close." Leon said.
"What now?" Ashley asked.
"We go to the extraction point and we can find a way to take those things out." Leon said.
"Yes." Leonidas nodded.
The group now have to deal with Saddler and his men with them wondering who his granddaughter is.
Note: They managed to find Ashley and Saddler made himself known to them.
