Chapter 1300 Visage
I don't own Bleach or any of the powers and gear used in this story.
Sota sees Eric type on his computer as they saw a group called the circle of Charons.
They're a group of hackers that kill and kidnap others and even kill those that try to find them.
They tried to hack into Eric's computer.
"I don't think so." Eric smirks.
He fights back as they're computers started to glitch before they exploded.
The circle got scared as they look around before Ryuu and Lapis appeared at they're places taking them down one by one.
Sota nodded and he goes out. "That problem has been solved."
The moment he went he saw a ghost appear making him look at her.
She's a girl floating. "Hi, my name is Ash Blossom."
He raises an eyebrow at her.
"Your friends are Shamans so I can help you be one." She said.
"Why should I trust you?" He said.
She smiles holding his face. "Don't worry, i'm super nice like them."
Sota felt a hand on his shoulders and he looks back to see the Spirit of Elma.
She smiles and nodded at him.
Sota stares at her before noddong at Ash.
"Great." She shakes his hands. "We'll be a great team."
Ash waves her hands and he saw more ir his guardians appear with Elma, they are Baou, Kay'est, Ceal, Tryce, Grarl and then rising from behind them was Guardian Eatos as she spreads her wings.
Sota stares at them since this is the first time he has seen them and was amazed.
"They are your Guardians, your protectors Sota, despite the bad luck you had they were always there to protect you as they wish to save you." Ash said.
Sota raises a hand towards them and they held it together with a smile.
He then smiles too knowing that he had people always looking out for him even when he was alone.
"We'll always be there for you." Eatos said.
With Leonidas
He was walking out in the city and he saw a dark old house.
He could tell theres something supernatural about it and goes inside.
It was very old and dusty making him have some red flags raised.
Leonidas continues and he checks the house before he heard a sound.
He looks to the side and saw a girl looking at him from the corner of house.
"Oh hello." He said but she runs off.
He got surprised and from the moments he saw her, she was wearing a white nightgown soiled in her own blood and loose black hair.
He wonders what could have caused the blood.
He followed her around the place and goes up stairs, he saw a room with the words Lucy on the door and it was a child's room.
"That must be her name." He said.
Leonidas heard a sound and looks to the side to see her jump at him.
Then he got horrified as he saw her face, she was missing her jaw.
She seems to try and get his jaw too but he restrains her with his chains and reads her mind.
He saw that she encoutered a demon that tricked her into killing her bird and posses her.
But then she became crazy as she blamed the demon making her get scared, to the point she locked herself in the bathroom and ripped her own jaw to end her suffering.
He gasped seeing that and holds her surprising Lucy.
"I'll save you." He said.
He uses his zanpakuto to slashes something out of her as the demon came out.
He was a tall figure wearing black robes, a porcelain mask and sharp claws.
"You." Leonidas narrows his eyes.
He can tell this demon is different as he felt like he was made by someone else, but not by Team Dark, but by someone with a higher power.
The Demon attacks him but he dodges and slashes at with his sword in Shikai making it grunt as it saw illusions.
It grunted and claws around breaking the illusions and grapples with Leonidas sending him down.
He jumps to attack him but Leonidas rolls to the side and looks at the Demon hits the ground.
He takes his hands out and looks at Leonidas with a glare.
"She's my friend!" The Demon said.
It claws at Leonidas who dodges him before he brings his zanpakuto at his neck.
"She doesn't belong to you!" He uses all of his strenght to slashes his head off.
He screams as his body evaporated leaving only his mask.
Leonidas picks it up and stashes the mask away.
He looks at Lucy who was on the ground and she picks her up.
"I'll take you to a new home." He carries her away as she didn't deserve to suffer in this place all alone. "I might not be able to heal your mouth, but I can heal your soul."
Leonidas comes out as Lucy was still sleeping and he looks at the house.
"Let the spirits rest, as she's now free like a balloon." He said.
Leonidas leaves and roots and plant life came up because of him as they covered the house as a grave for the family that once lived there with Lucy going to a new family.
He covers her mouth with bandages and she opens her eyes to look at him.
"I'll be giving you a new home Lucy." He said.
She cries since she couldn't talk but she was happy.
He took her back to the mansion so they can watch over her since she needed to be with people that will care about her after what the Demon did to her.
Leonidas also thought of the one person that could have made him through the legends he heard.
"Only one that can make a demon like that." He said.
At a dark room was a man with black hair and a long black coat, in his hands was a staff with a skull on it as he looks at his desk doing some research of his own.
Note: Sota met Ash Blossom and the rest of his Guardians while Leonidas dealt with the Demon from Visage and helped Lucy.
