Chapter 1096 Old Comrade
I don't own Bleach or any of the powers and gear used in this story.
Hikone was at Hell and she was seeing Rosie as she takes her measurements.
"Well have to make you a new dress Hikone, can't always have you wear the same type of clothes." She said.
Hikone smiles. "Thanks mommy."
Rosie smiles back at her, someone was watching them from a distance inside a alley.
It was a incredibly beautiful young woman, with short black hair which is longer on her left side. She wears a black business-style suit with a white scarf around her neck, and a golden, X-shaped lapel pin on the chest.
The woman stares at Hikone and frowns seeing the little girl being happy with Rosie.
Rosie raises an eyebrow. "I'll be right back." She leaves making Hikone confused.
The woman got confused and backs away before she dodges a umbrella that has a blade on top, she saw Rosie looking at her.
"So do you have a problem, it seems your another human that got sent here without dying." Rosie said.
The woman frowns. "I mean you no harm."
"Well what is your name?" Rosie said.
"I'm Aura Michibane."
"Wel... Aura, what re you doing near my home watching my child?" Rosie said.
Aura frowns. "It's because... I'm Hikone's mother."
"What?!" Rosie got shocked hearing that.
"I was the one that helped create her, using many pieces of other races, even find the eyes that I was able to grant her. The stand and the rest to make her a counterpart to Kazuo, Tokinada even used my energy to make her." Aura said.
Rosie looks at her and senses something. "You have a similar energy to Kazuo."
"That's because I became the host to the Saketsu of the Soul King, Tokinada wanted to wait but with Kazuo around he could see a threat so he sent Hikone to destroy him. But you know what happened after that." Aura said.
"Why are you here then, did you come to steal my daughter?" Rosie said.
"No..." Aura looks down. "I wanted to have a family, but she's so happy now. She has two brothers with her and many friends. I can't take that away from her, so take care of her for me."
Aura leaves surprising Rosie before she nodded, Rosie goes back to see Hikone who smiles at her.
Rosie smiles as she goes to make her a new dress.
Aura was walking down Hell and looks up to the sky. "Maybe one world, we would have been together, but now... I just want you to be happy Hikone."
The Fullbringer Aura makes a portal to leave the world, she knows Hikone's place is with her brothers, Kazuo is the shinigami, Wonderweiss the hollow and Hikone is the Fullbringer of they're family.
With Leon's group
They were at the same room and they looked around, Leonidas then noticed a file written by Saddler.
"Hmmm, it seems he's not very happy we killed his two men." Leonidas said.
"Well what else is different." Leon said.
"He wrote that he will try to find men that will be loyal to him before giving another plaga. But question is who?" Leonidas said.
Judai thinks about it. "I have an idea."
They went out of the room, to go down a staircase.
Meanwhile Dama was with the soldier and he said: "It seems our friend Leon is coming."
She nodded at him.
"Now, since your Wesker's lap dog, do this to get the others busy when i'm ready. Get that creature to scare them off." He said.
She tilted her head in confusion.
"You want a sample, I know where it is. Just send it out to those guys." He said.
Dama understood and goes off.
Later
Leon's group went towards a dark room with metal platform, they walked foward before Leon senses something making him dodge as he got a cut on his cheek.
"What?" Victor looks before a grenade came down hitting the rest away.
Leon saw the soldier land down holding a knife. "Been a long time, comrade."
"Krauser?" Leon was surprised.
"I died in a crash two years ago. Is that what they told you?" Krauser said as he walks around.
"Your the one that kidnapped Ashley." Leon said.
"You catch on quick, as expected. After all, you and I both know where we come from." Krauser said.
He swings his knife at Leon making him dodge and jab at him making Krauser go back.
"What do you want?" Leon said.
Krauser smirks and swings at Leon making him dodge and block it.
"The sample Saddler made that's all." Krauser said.
"Leave Ashley out of this!" Leon said.
"Oh, I needed her to buy Saddler's trust in me. Like you, I'm American." He kicks a barrel at Leon.
Leon knocks it and blocks the knife with his own as they went off the platform to a lower one.
"You got her involved just for that!" Leon was mad.
He swings at Krauser clashing with him before he got kicked down.
"All for Umbrella's sake." Krauser said.
"Umbrella." Leon said.
"Almost let it slip...enough talk, die comrade!" He jumps down at Leon to stab him making Leon grab his arm as they struggle.
Krauser then a avoided a shot and they saw a Mantis Orphnoch holding a gun.
"It's one of those freaks." Krauser looks at it.
Leon looks at him and the Mantis looks at Leon.
Krauser jumps to a platform above. "You may be able to prolong your life, but you can't escape your death." He runs off.
The others came and Victor said: "Son of a bitch."
"You knew each other?" Leonidas asked.
"More or less." Leon picks up his knife and noticed the Mantis was gone.
"Who was he?" Leon wonders about the Orphnoch.
Leon then gets a call from Saddler. "Enjoy the reunion with your old friend?"
"As a matter of fact, I did." Leon said.
"Wonderful. I wouldn't want my special guests on the Island feeling unattended." Saddler said.
"Guess i'm supposed to thank you right?" Leon said.
"Ah... I have an idea. Since you're here, why don't I introduce you to It. It should keep you busy." Saddler said.
"Can't remember the name huh? A senior moment perharps." Leon said.
Saddler laughs. "Enjoy the fun." The call the ends.
"It? That doesn't sound good." Victor said.
"Well we gotta be careful." James said.
They went to another room being a hallway with a single door in front.
Lasers activated making them dodge as they went foward, a bunch came foward making the group flip to go in between them before they landed on the ground.
"Come on." Leon said as they went to the door.
They pressed the button to open it but it was taking time.
More lasers came from behind and went towards them, Leon looks at the door and motions them to come foward.
They ran towards the door and run on top of the wall to jump above the lasers avoiding them, they then stick the landing.
"Wow that was close." Victor said.
They went to the door when it opened to get out of there.
Leonidas wonders about that It and what it could be. We'll have to be careful.
Note: Aura from the novels appeared talking to Rosie and Leon met up with Krauser having a small duel with him, Krauser is going to make sure the others don't get in the way.
