Chapter 1044 Cleomenes
I don't own Bleach or any of the powers and gear used in this story.
Leon's group arrived at a garden and looked around the place, then the infected dogs called Colmillos came out and they have tendrils come out of they're backs.
They charge at them making the group shoot them back.
"Theres always like a variant of those zombie dogs." Victor said.
"It's always the same in every place in this world." Leonidas said.
Leonidas looks around and sees a male figure watching them before it goes away.
Let's see if you can do it. Leonidas thinks to himself.
Victor jumps and kicks a dog away. "Come on." He runs foward and shoots many of the mutated dogs down.
He jumps to a balcony and looks down. "How are you guys doing?"
"Oh shut up!" Judai throws a rock at him making Victor dodge.
Victor goes inside of a room and looks around, he hears footsteps and he aims his guns back only to see Ada do the same.
"Hey Ada." He smiles.
She smiles back before kissing him. "Hello Victor, it seems your all having trouble."
"So how were you doing?" He asked.
"I was looking for a sample since Leonidas wants one, but i've found a third party here." She said.
"Really who is it?" Victor said.
"I don't know, it was a woman that was hidden behind a mask, I have to look for more info." Ada said. "But for who she is working for..."
"Wesker." Victor frowns.
She nodded. "He's the only one that would send someone here."
"Looks like we'll have to be careful." Victor said.
Judai goes to a hallway and looks around the place before he saw someone go inside a room.
He goes towards it and aims his gun. "What?"
Inside was a woman he never seen before, she wears a black and blue dress, long blue gloves and boots.
She looks at him and noticed his belt. "What?"
"Who are you?" He demanded.
She then smiles. "I am Smart Lady."
He got confused at the name. "Smart Lady?"
Leonidas looks inside and got surprised. What? She has the symbol of Smart Brain.
Evolto told him about the rider worlds when he made the other suits, and they are from different worlds, is she from that other world.
Smart Lady goes up to Judai. "I'm glad to meet a fellow Orphnoch."
He raises an eyebrow at her since this is one cooky girl.
They got regrouped and Leon saw Smart Lady. "Who's the girl?"
"She just appeared out of nowhere." Judai said.
"How?" Victor said.
"We don't have time, we need to find Ashley." Leon said.
"Who's Ashley?" Smart Lady asked.
"A girl we're trying to find." Leonidas said. "So we must hurry."
They went foward to enter the castle again.
The group went around the place and it was quiet, then Luis came out of door.
"Leon..." They looked at him and he was holding a bottle of pills and sample. "I got it."
He then stops confusing them as a spikes comes out of his chest shocking them.
"What?!" Smart Lady said.
They saw it was connected to a tentacle as it goes up, the sample goes down and someone catches it.
"Luis!" Leon cries out.
The person that did it was Saddler. "Now that I have this sample, you have no use to me."
He drops Luis down making the others mad.
"Saddler!" They yelled at him.
"Salazar will take care most of you, as Arachne has a plan for Judai." Saddler goes away.
They went to check on Luis as he lies down.
"Luis." Leon said.
"Theres something I should tell you." Luis was in pain. "I am a researcher...hired by Saddler. He found out what I was up to."
They got surprised and Victor said: "Don't worry, we'll get you out of here."
Luis gives the bottle to Leon. "Here. It should suppress growth of the parasite. The sample...Saddler took it. You have to get it back."
He dies in front of them and they got shocked.
"No, that bastards murdered him!" Victor said.
"We'll have to go foward." Leon looks up holding the pills.
They went foward leaving Luis there, his body lies there for a long time before his eyes opened.
Outside
At a rooftop was the figure watching and he has tan skin with silver hair but has the eyes of Leonidas, he's wearing a black body suit style like the anbu from Yuto's world.
"Well Leonidas will have a lot of work if he needed my help." He said.
His name is Cleomenes, the brother of Leonidas.
Cleomenes was a clone created by Leonidas but he's different from the others he made to give to Rei's clones since he was made to be a different person while being a brother to Leonidas.
He takes out a sword being a Asauchi that Leonidas got him since after the failure of his other attempt to make a zanpakuto he wanted Cleomenes to have his own in case of trouble.
"Leonidas is the smartest as I am more of a fighter." Cleomenes said.
Cleomenes didn't get Leonidas great mind only some skills but he doesn't mind as he's his own person.
He was called since he couldn't just trust on Ada with Wesker going around, he needed a extra back up plan.
Cleomenes jumps foward to look for the sample but then he saw Roma appear surprising him.
"Hey no intruders allowed." Roma smiles. "So you gotta go." She summons her kagunes to attack him.
He dodges and backs away as she kept attacking him.
Cleomenes uses his Asauchi to counter the attacks and he runs around as she chased him.
"Disintegrate, you black dog of Rondanini!! Look upon yourself with horror and tear out your own throat! Bakudō #9. Hōrin!" He shoots a energy tendril at her making Roma jump away as it goes to attack her again.
She takes out a piece of a rooftop to counter it and stops the attack.
Cleomenes senses something as the Lurching Man came up from behind him and hits the clone away.
"Oh too bad, looks like the Lurching Man was too much for you." She laughs.
The creature grabs on to Cleomenes and starts to cover him up.
"Bakudō #21. Sekienton!" He makes a red smoke appear making them confused and distracted.
"What?" She said.
Then a red arm came out hitting through the Lurching Man sending him to the other sides.
Roma looks and saw that his right arm was different as it comes back to him.
"Hey... Is that one of those... Noble Phantasms?" She asked.
Cleomenes frowns, Leonidas managed to make him into a Demi servant using the Hassan of the cursed arm, thanks to the one they managed to recruit in the previous grail war.
"Well that's interesting, it will take more to kill Lurching Man, so bye." She jumps off the rooftop.
"I can't believe I used the wrong target, but I had no choice." He runs off to find the others.
Note: Here's some reveals, Smart Lady from Faiz made a appearance and Leonidas revealed he made his own clone brother similar to what happened to Hank and Zack.
