Chapter 550 Queen's Blade 7
I don't own Bleach or any of the powers and gear used in this story.
Draco has been training Leina, while Nowa trained with Shiro and Nyx with Victor, Leina has been making some good progress, they were walking on a road and they looked back to see Nanael flying slowly behind them.
"Will you hurry up."Zack said.
"Yes, I need to get my sword fixed."Leina said showing that her sword was damaged.
"Alright I'll be there, it's annyoing that you walk so fast."Nanael said.
"Want me to spill that milk of yours."Victor said scaring her.
"I'm going, I'm going!"Nanael flying faster towards them.
"She's such a annoying woman."Yui said.
Nowa looks at Yui and said:"Hey Yui, are you going to become Queen?"
"Me? I don't know about that."Yui said.
"Maybe you could, just seeing you shows what it makes to be a nice Queen."Leina said.
Yui thinks about it.
"Say why aren't we using the truck again?"Rimuru asked.
"Because Menace's sandstorm make the engines break, we need time to fix it."Leonidas grunts.
Rimuru sees Zack looking around with a strange look.
"What's wrong with Zack?"Rimuru said.
"He's been thinking for some time about something he found out what happened to his parents."Hank said.
"What did happen?"Rimuru said.
Zack looks around and then looks at Rimuru."It happened like this."
Flashback
Zack arrives at a Police station and sees a captain sitting at the desk, he has white hair and got surprised seeing Zack.
"Zack?"He said.
"Captain Rob, why did you lie to me about my parents dying in a accident?"Zack glared at him.
Rob sighs."I knew this day would come."He gets up."Follow me."They went to a room.
There was a table there and they sat in front of each other with a TV there.
"The reason why I lied, was not to protect the one that did this, no he got punished, I eas protecting you."Rob said.
"What?"Zack said.
"I thought, you would stay away, but your family's detective side is inside of you, look."Rob turns the TV on.
Theres a recording of a younger Rob with a fat cop.
"You sold out Kelly go that gang we tried to take down for so long, for what money?"Rob said.
"It's more than that, her stupid brat hurt my son! So I hurt him by taking his parents!"He said angry.
"You are so arrogant, Kelly was a great woman to out Squad, and you got angry because of your bully of a son was stopped by her son, he saved a girl you have no right."Rob makes a signal to have two other cops takes the corrupt guy away.
It ends and Rob looks at Zack who was in shock and he has tears.
"S-So... It's my fault that my mother..."Zack couldn't finish.
"No Zack, you only did what was right, your mother would be proud of you."Rob gives him a hug as Zack was crying.
Kelly as a ghost appears and she hugs Zack too.
Flashback ends
Rimuru and the girls got shocked hearing that.
"How would you feel, if you hear your own mother got killed because of something you did, some call me a monster but I care about my mother."Zack said with tears on his eyes.
Victor pats his back."It's okay man."
Zack recovers from that memory and they continued.
But then someone was running towards them.
"Wait isn't that..."Hank said and they got surprised.
"Daddy! Daddy!"They saw Mary and she jumps to Alex's arms.
"Mary!"They said.
"How did you get here?"Alex asked.
"I had help."She smiles at him.
"Who?"They said.
Then Nezuko jumps on to Draco's back.
"Of course."Draco grunts while Nezuko smiles.
Leina got stunned and Nezuko looks at her."She's so cute."
"Wow, hey Nezuko, Mary."Rimuru waves at them.
"Hi Rimuru!"Mary waves at him along with Nezuko.
Nanael looks at Nezuko and was surprised."She's a demon!"
"What?"Leina, Nowa and Nyx were surprised.
Nezuko stares at them and Leina said:"How can she be considered a demon?"
"She's one in race but she's more human than a lot of so called humans."Draco touches Nezuko's hand making her happy.
Leina smiles and said:"She's a good girl."
"She's only a child."Nyx said.
Draco looks at Leina's sword."Can I see the sword?"
"Sure."She gives it to him.
Draco lifts it up to the sun and sees all the damage done to it."Well it certainly had it's share of battles, let's find this blacksmith you were talking about."
"Excuse me."They looked to they're right and saw a woman with glasses and a huge pair of breasts that made Yui question if they were real."May I have a look at that sword?"
"How the heck is she that big?"Yui said.
Rimuru's jaw dropped seeing that, how is she that big.
"Hey close your mouth before two certain girls see you."Aka said making him close it up.
"Lady Cattleya?"Leina said looking at her.
"Wait that's her."Victor said.
"Yes."Cattleya said.
"That was fast."Zack said.
Cattleya saw Mary with Alex."Oh is she your daughter?"
"Yes."He said.
"I saw her and followed since I wanted to make sure she was okay."She said.
"Mary renda to follow me a lot."Alex said.
"Daddy is super strong and brave."Mary Said.
Cattleya looks at the two and she is reminded of another strong man that she loved a long time ago.
"How about you follow me, we can help you with the sword."Cattleya said.
They then went to her house to get it fixed, they arrived at shop and Cattleya said:"I'm home, anything going on here?"
They looked inside and saw a little boy at the counter but also to they're shock Echidna.
"Mother!" the little boy said.
The group then saw Echidna and she said:"it's been a long time."
"You?"Leina said.
"So what are you doing here?"Draco said.
"Let's see I came to see something."Echidna said looking at them."And your group got bigger since the last time."She licks her lips making Nowa nervous.
Shiro goes in front of her and said:"Touch her and see what happens."She backs away.
After that Cattleya offered them dinner so they joined her with her son, They learned her son was called Rana, they were at the table and Cattleya was looking at Leina's sword.
"So your the count's daughter, now I understand why you carry this sword, I recognized the handiwork of my husband, Owen."Cattleya said and that made Alex curious."One of a kind, made for lady Maria at the Count's request."
"At my fathers request?"Leina looked confused."it was my mother's favorite, but I knew nothing of it's origin."
"A true master chooses his tools carefully and what state is this famous sword in?"Echidna mocked her making Leina glare at her."Just playing with you, instead of giving me dirty looks, you should take batter care of your weapon."
"We have been doing that, but it was damaged before she took it."Draco glares at Echidna.
Mary was sitting next to Rana and she looks at him."Hey Rana is your mommy strong?"
"Yes."He nodded a little confused.
"Well daddy is super strong, he has this big sword that he swings around with one hand!"Mary was excited.
Cattleya looks at Alex with a curious look about his weapon.
They ate lunch and Echinda told them that Cattleya was known as the giant killer and Cattleya said they she retired after she got married to open shop and take care of her son.
They were given a room with Nanael, Nyx and Nowa sharing one, Echidna wanted to sleep in the same room as Leina and Yui since Yui doesn't trust that woman.
Alex, Draco and Yui were walking to the different rooms bfore they heard Leina and Echidna talking.
"What do you think of Cattleya?"Echinda asked Leina.
"She's a good person, a great warrior, who has a famous armory and is raising a son, she seems happy."Leina said.
"Not at all."Echidna said.
"How's that?"Leina asked.
"Cattleya is doomed, because she can't make up her mind, two years ago her husband disappeared, leaving they're child."Echidna said and Alex wonders about where he went.
"Disappeared?"Leina said.
"Vanished, eaten by a demon, another woman?"Echidna said.
They got surprised to hear that.
"Compared to her you have a great life, you do whatever you want."Echidna said and Draco got angry.
"Whatever I want, I have to struggle every day with Draco and the others."Leina said.
"You guys struggle, come on, you have a easy life."Echidna said.
"You can say whatever about me but you can't talk about Draco like you know him."Leina said and Draco got surprised a bit.
"What do I need to know, all you do is wander around."Echidna said.
"I didn't know what to do, but after meeting Draco and learning more about him and his friends showed me more, so you can call me what you want! But I won't allow you to disrespect my friends!"Leina said surprising Echidna.
"Interesting, if you still trying to find Risty well you can find her Gainos the capital that is where she is heading."Echidna said."Also you seem to be so sure that Draco is the strongest that you know that you look up to him, what if he were to die?"
"He won't."Leina said with certainty making her stunned."If you were to fight them... You would lose."And that shocks Echidna.
They smiled and Yui goes inside."I'm back."
"Yui!"Leina smiles seeing her.
Cattleya comes out of her son's room and she saw Alex."Oh hello Alex."
"I heard."He said surprising her."Echidna couldn't keep her mouth shut to Leina."
Cattleya looks down."It's true, but Owen didn't leave, I saw him, the Queen killed him."She starts to cry.
Alex got surprised and puts his arms around her surprising Cattleya."I'm sorry for your loss."
She hugs him and cries over his shoulders.
"I understand how you feel, but we can't live in fear."He said making Cattleya look at him."Sometimes we have to take a chance."
"A chance?"She said.
They went to bed and they were sleeping, after some time Echidna gets up and walks towards Leina who was sleeping, she pulls down the covers and licks her lips.
"If you touch her, you die."Echidna sees Yui getting up.
"Your awake."Echidna said.
"Yes."Yui goes up to to do a nasty prank on Leina pervert, I don't like the way you were treating her as a child."
"I was only telling the truth, your just two children wandering around the capital."Echidna said.
Yui grabs her by the neck surprising her."Really... Then how does having a abusive father say that I have a good life?"
"What?"She got surprised.
"That's right, my team have suffered before and through that suffering is what brought us all together, so don't go around saying that we had a easy life."Yui goes up to her face."Little girl."
Echidna grunts being called that before Yui let's her go.
"So, I think it's best you leave now."Yui said.
"Really? Who do you think would win?"Echidna smirks.
"Me of course."Yui said."Your just too weak."Echidna got angry hearing that."I have faced opponents that would make you like a child, so it's best you leave."
Echidna tried to find arrogance in Yui's voice but... There was none, what did she face to make her so certain, she leaves the duo alone as Yui goes back to sleep.
When it was morning Rana comes into the room waking them up."Leina, Yui! It's horrible, my mother."
"Cattleya?"Leina said.
"Let's go."Yui gets up and they went out.
The guys came out too to see what was happening.
They went to front door to see Cattleya fight a small girl known Ymir, she using spear while Ymir was using a red axe, Cattleya shirt was torn and she was saying."I make weapons, I don't want to fight."
"Even if you don't want to, I do!"Ymir said angry and she charges at her.
"Please, help my mother."Rana said with tears.
Alex runs back inside looking for something, he then finds what he wanted, he found a giant blade, he then lifts it up with ease and brings to Cattleya, he runs out to see Cattleya holding her son, Leina then looks at him and got surprised to see him hold it with not problem.
"Cattleya!"Alex calls out to her.
She looks at him and he lifts her sword surprising her."The Giant Killer."
"Will you fight?"Rana asked her surprising his mother."When you fight, I'm not afraid or anything."
"Rana."Cattleya said.
"Catch."Alex throws it at her and Cattleya grabs it.
"I am Cattleya the Weapon Smith, and I accept your challenge!"Cattleya said.
"So your back in the fight, your gonna get your money's worth."Ymir said.
Nyx, Nowa and Nanael go to the window to see the fight and Nanael gets excited."I Nanael will arrange the yoru fight."
Draco then sees her make it into a queens blade battle making him scoff.
"She's so desperate to make these tournament battles happen."Rimuru said."Are you going to attack her?"
"Later."He said.
"Queen's blade, excellent."Ymir said and raises her weapon up."Behold the power, of the iron moutain's weapons."
Cattleya then blocks it with her sword and it starts to glow red, she then throws Ymir to the air and she crashes to the floor.
"How dare you, but I haven't even."Ymir said getting up and she raises her axe but then one of it's blade's broke."No,my battle axe."
"She won."Alex said.
"Yay!"Mary cheers for her."Cattleya won!"
After that Cattleya talked to Ymir and they made peace she even offered her lunch, then Cattleya finished Leina's sword and gave it to her.
"I adjusted the center of gravity, my husband put his soul into this, take great care of it."Cattleya said and Leina nodded."Also Alex how were you able to wield my blade with ease?"
Alex looks at her and summons Dragonslayer surprising them."This is why, this is my weapon Dragonslayer."
"Dragonslayer?"Rana said.
"Yes, it's a weapon meant to kill dragons."He said.
"Amazing."Cattleya looks at it."It must have been through so many battles."
"Yes, my father used it a long time ago, even killing a thousand demons with it."Alex said.
"A thousand!"Cattleya was surprised.
"Yes, I have many weapons like these."He summons Buster Sword and Sword of Olympus too.
Nanael stares at the second sword in shock since it felt divine.
"What, no fair now I have another rival for the iron mountain."Ymir said.
"You should talk to Kazuo about that."Aka points at him.
"Huh?"Ymir looks atr Kazuo.
He summons the gunblade and slashes it around making Ymir amazed, he also summons some of his other weapons like his keyblade.
"Why does that weapon look like a key?"Ymir points at it.
"Because it can also open any lock."Kazuo said.
Ymir goes up to him with stars in her eyes making him confused.
Cattleya looks at Alex who was holding Dragonslayer and has Mary hanging off of his neck, it remindeds Cattleya of her and Rana.
"Dragonslayer seems important to you just like Giant Killer is to me."Cattleya said.
"Yes."He nodded."Maybe we'll see each other again."
"Yes, I'll be traveling too for the Queen's Blade tournament, so I hope we see each other too."Cattleya said.
"Rana!"He looks at Mary."Hope we can play again."
"Of course."He nodded with a smile.
It was nice having a friend.
The group continued on they're way and Cattleya stares at Alex since he reminded her of Owen her lost love.
Rimuru noticed Cattleya looking at Alex."Man, he's a lucky guy."
Note:Cattleya appeared and yes Owen is dead this time, she has a interest in Alex since they're both warriors that use giant blades and have children, Cattleya as her son Rana and Alex has his daughter Mary.
