Here we are with chapter 15th, and I hope everyone is ready here. First off, I want to say thank you to those who left their reviews and asked me their questions. I appreciate it guys and glad people are enjoying it. Secondly, need to bring this up since I don't think I mentioned it before involving where this time is set in.
Okay, so this is set after the defeat of Yhwach. About a year afterwards so this isn't set during the fight against Aizen. This is set long afterwards. In the original story series, it was set after the fight with Aizen, but a lot had changed since then years ago.
So, don't expect this to be around the movie times. But don't worry, there will be some mentions of Ichigo and the others. However, the focus will be on the characters here. Just letting you all know this.
Now then, last time the others found out Raven's secret. They now know she is the daughter of Trigon. How will things go now that they know this secret and the secret of their new friends? And what will Slade do now that he has to deal with people who could harm him?
Read on to find out and also thanks to my friend General Herbison for his help on my crossovers. We hope you all like them and the new version for this second version. Anyways, let's go with the disclaimer first. I don't own anything from the DC, Bleach, and Star Wars universe.
Just my OCs, except for the OCs from the general. Enjoy the chapter everyone!
Chapter XV
Titan's Tower
A week has passed since the Teen Titans found out about not just the secret of their new friends, but also about Raven. The Titans were shocked to find out not only is their friend the daughter of Trigon the Terrible, but how he plans to use her to come to their world to take over. They knew who Trigon is and how he is a powerful demon that has invaded countless worlds. Killing all those that get in his way and bringing terror everywhere he goes.
Raven explained how her father plans to use her as a key to open the doorway to let him into their world. She didn't want to tell them about it since she was worried how they would react.
As for their friends, they explained everything about the Soul Reapers and the Soul Society. Even how the Soul Reapers worked with the people of Azarath to seal Trigon away from their world. To keep him from ever returning and from going to other realms to harm any more innocent lives. However, when the Soul Society found out about Raven's destiny, they had intended to kill her.
However, Isamu and Hikari's mentors reassured them they would keep that from happening. That's why their friends promised to protect Raven and even help the Titans so they can be a match for Slade when he returns.
They even decided to place some seals around their home to keep Slade from trying to break in and keep Trigon out of Raven's mind.
Despite their success against Slade in combat they were unable to track him down. Isamu and Hikari contacted their mentors to let the Soul Society know about the temple under the abandoned library. That way they can keep an eye on things if Slade ever returns. So far, he hasn't returned, but the Titans knew he will, and they need to be ready for it.
Robin is seen in the Common Room going over all the information they have about Slade's abilities. Cyborg finished analyzing how powers and drew up some ideas on how to defeat him. Since Slade is dead the Titans don't have to worry about holding back. They will give it all they have and hope it will be enough.
"Since Slade is dead, I figured we try freezing him using liquid nitrogen," Cyborg suggested as he shows the nitrogen. "It won't keep him frozen for long, but I figured if we shatter him into pieces, he won't be able to cause much trouble."
Robin didn't like the idea of trying this against a living person, but since Slade is dead and is just a pawn of Trigon then they can try it. "We would need to get close enough to make this work. Even then I don't know if it will keep him down for long even if we shatter him."
"Well, we can always let Isamu and Hikari handle him," said Cyborg who knew their friends are more efficient for this sort of fighting. "Another idea I have is a new weapon I have been developing."
Cyborg shows the design to Robin and what it will do. Robin was surprised to see Cyborg would be able to even do this, but he saw a flaw in this design.
"Doing this would leave you almost drained. That's a little risky don't you think?" Robin asked.
Cyborg knew it would leave him vulnerable, but it's worth the risk. "If it means leaving Slade nothing but dust, I will risk it to keep our friend safe."
Robin though isn't keen on risking his friend's safety like this. "We should still try to find another way to stop him. But if we have to then leave this as a last resort."
Cyborg nods in response as Beast Boy walks by with a tofu dog. "If we're going all out then I better go all out myself. Full beast-mode."
Robin and Cyborg turn to their friend surprised to hear he's willing to go into the form that made him act like a wild animal…literally.
"Beast Boy, no. It's too dangerous," said Robin recalling how the beast form made Beast Boy act differently. "You don't even know how to control it or if you can even control it."
"He's right, B. Maybe you should try going for another form. Maybe your T-Rex form or maybe one of those aliens from Star's homeworld," Cyborg suggested not wanting his friend to lose himself in the beast form.
Beast Boy shook his head as he looks down at his food. "I know it's dangerous and I know it's risky, but…" he puts his food down on top of the sofa and sighed. "It's a risk I'm willing to take to keep Raven safe. And we both know all of you would do the same thing if you were in my shoe."
Robin and Cyborg look at each other knowing Beast Boy is right. If they were in his position, they would do the same thing. They know Starfire has been training hard to get herself ready to use every bit of her Tamaranian powers to help fight against Slade. Even going back to her home world to learn any other tricks and abilities she could use.
"Raven is lucky to have friends like you," the boys look over and see Hikari in the corner of the room with her phone in hand, while its charging in a plug in the wall. "To risk everything to keep her safe and to make sure nothing bad happens to her," she then puts her phone down and gets up before sighing softly. "Too bad it won't work."
The guys look at each other confused by what she meant as Robin speaks up. "What do you mean?"
Hikari begins walking towards the guys and look up at the screen. "Attacks like these won't work against Slade. He isn't going to be shattered or blasted away like you think he will. Trigon's powers will make sure he won't be destroyed or harmed in any normal way. Only attacks like on the supernatural level will be able to do any damage towards him."
Hikari turns to the guys knowing they dontl like what she is telling them, but they need to know this. "I'm sorry, but it's true. You'd only be wasting your time an energy, which you could be using to defend Raven against Trigon's demon army."
"His demon army?" Beast Boy asked getting a little frightened by what this army might look like.
Hikari took the remote from Cyborg and uses the data she found to show on the screen. "My sensei found out Trigon won't be coming alone if he comes to our world. He'll have with him his fire demon army. Powerful, lethal, and dangerous. Your attacks will be able to destroy them, but unfortunately his army will be practically unlimited."
The guys look up at the screen, listened to what Hikari told them, and see the images of paintings on walls about how the demons look like. They look like what Hikari said they look like…made of fire. Robin knew if this is what they have to deal with then they will need to be careful. An infinite number of these fire demons could pose a problem for them.
Cyborg sighed softly as he keeps looking at the screen. "Well, I'm just glad you and your brother placed those seals to keep the tower safe."
Hikari nods in agreement before playfully elbowing Cyborg in the shoulder. "Thanks, but if you want more suggestions for security, I can show you some ideas I have."
Cyborg turns to Hikari and smiles a little. "I'd appreciate that."
Robin turns to Hikari and realizes something. "Speaking of your brother, where is he?"
"Off placing some seals on the island," said Hikari figuring the whole place needs protection. "He also plans to place some seals inside the tower. Just to avoid the demons or Slade from coming through the floor, especially how I heard Slade almost brought the whole tower down once?"
Beast Boy rubs the back of his head and sighed. "Yeah, that was a new one we didn't think any bad guy would do. But luckily, we had help to deal with that."
"So, I heard," said Hikari knowing she heard this from Starfire.
Speaking of the devil, Starfire came floating into the room carrying a tray filled with tea, waffles, bacon, and eggs. Robin walks over to Star who appeared sadden.
"Let me guess…she said no?" Robin asked figuring Raven turned Star away again.
Starfire nods in response as she sets the trey on the table. "I tried to talk to her and ask her to let me in, but she still refuses to open the door."
Ever since the others found out about Raven's secret, she had locked herself in her room. She would come out every once in a while, to wash up or get some food, but she would avoid talking to the others. Mostly because she's been worried what they will think or say to her. They have all tried to get her to come out, but no such luck.
They thought about trying to stay up late to talk to her, but since she uses her magic they never know when she'll come out of her room.
"There must be something we can do," said Beast Boy who wanted to help his friend.
"We could try all going to her and see if we can try getting her out of her room," said Cyborg figuring if they all wait for her out of her room and try talking to her they can get her to come out.
Robin shook his head in response. "We need to give her time. She has been through a lot, especially now that we know her secret. A secret she has kept for so long because she was afraid what we might have thought of her. That is something I'm sure we all can understand."
Starfire nods in agreement. "She was probably afraid we would think of her differently, but that is not true. We would still love her no matter who her father is because we know she is good."
"Even then can you imagine what would happen if our enemies found out and told the people?" Cyborg asked knowing full-well how badly that would shatter Raven's confidence. "She already feels bad because she knows what her father wants her to do. If the world knew she would end all life…I wouldn't want to leave my room either."
"That's why we need to find a way to help show her she shouldn't be afraid," said Beast Boy who knew the only way to help their friend is to build her confidence back. "We need to get her on her feet, show her she doesn't need to be afraid of her dad, and get her back to her old-self again."
"Easier said than done," said Hikari knowing that won't be easy to do. "But if you are serious about that then you should know how to get her back on her feet. You've known her longer than my brother and me. So, you guys must know how to build her confidence back up. Got any ideas"
The four Titans try putting their heads together to figure out a way to try getting Raven to come out to cheer her up. One way they can do it is if a criminal is attacking the city. Too bad for them there aren't any villains out that they are needed to take care of.
In fact, it has been rather quiet these last few days. So, the Titans will need to find another way to get her to come out.
Robin thinks about some ideas of what they can do and has something in mind. "I think we should write her a letter."
The Titans stare at their friend confused by what he means. Robin noticed this and explains how Isamu gave him this idea. How if someone you know is feeling down and refuses to come out of their room then to write them a letter. Writing down something positive and something that will help cheer them up.
It will help build up their confidence and will help encourage them to come out so they can be with those that love them.
"Do you really believe that might work?" Starfire asked. She didn't mind the plan since it sounds sweet, but she isn't sure it would work with Raven…at least she thinks so.
"It's worth a try," said Robin figuring this is better than nothing. "But I think instead of writing a letter we can make a video. We can record ourselves saying whatever we can think of to make Raven feel better. We can then put it on a disc and then send it to Raven."
Cyborg liked that idea and then got one of his own. "No problem. I can record everything you guys say, and I will put it on a disc," he shows his robotic red eye and how it can record what they say. "Just say the word and we'll do it.'
"Oh! Oh! Can I go first?" Beast Boy asked hoping he'll get a chance to speak up.
"Okay, come on let's go find somewhere quiet to do this," said Cyborg as the Titans begin to leave the room.
Hikari smiled softly when she heard Robin's idea and what he wants to do. Raven really is lucky to have such amazing friends like them. They are willing to go so far to help make her feel better and even risk their lives to protect her. Even from her evil demon daddy.
It made her feel a little envious of Raven. Both her and her brother don't have a lot of friends due to their line of work. Sure, she has some of the women in the Soul Society to talk to. But she wasn't close to them.
So, she's happy to know Raven has her friends. Happy that they will fight for her, protect her, and do whatever they can to make her feel better. She gets up and decides to go look for her brother. To see if he needs a hand with his work.
"Hikari," Hikari stops and turns to see Starfire waiting by the door. "Are you not going to join us?"
Hikari was taken aback by her question and wasn't sure what to say. "Oh? Well um I don't know," she replied while rubbing the back of her head nervously. "I think this is better with friends than someone who hasn't spent much time with her. So, I think you guys should do this."
Starfire floats over to Hikari and took her hand before she smiles. "You may not know Raven as well as the rest of us, but I can tell you do care for her. And I believe that is enough to let her know this."
Hikari was planning to say no and leave, but she was surprised to hear how serious Starfire is on this. She doubts anything she can say will help, but she can try. Nothing wrong with that. And she's sure her brother would encourage her to do this.
Hikari sighed a little and nods in response. "All right. But don't expect me to say much since I don't know what to say to someone I don't know."
Starfire giggled and took her hands. "Oh, thank you so much! I'm sure though whatever you say will help!"
Meanwhile
Raven is seen in her bed curled up while holding the book she used to teleport to Azarath. She was still upset when she found out her home was gone. Her home where she was born and grew up in was destroyed by her father. She felt so guilty for what happened because she knew it was her fault.
She knew her father destroyed her home because of her. He killed the monks, the people, and her own mother in order to break her spirit. Well, it was working. Now all their deaths are on her.
She knew also her friends have been trying to cheer her up all week. They have been trying to tell her it will all be okay. That they will stop Trigon and they won't let him use her. Despite what the others said over time she soon realized they can't stop him.
Even with Isamu and Hikari they won't be able to keep him from coming. She knew it was inevitable.
She looks down at the book and sighed softly knowing it was now one of the only few things left of her home. If only she knew what was coming, she could have stopped it. Maybe she could have saved her people. Maybe should have saved her mother and…
She shot up from the bed when she heard a knock. She calmed down when she realized it must have been from the door. Most likely from Starfire or the others. Earlier she turned Star away when she refused to come out for breakfast.
She sat on her bed and waited to hear one of her friends telling her to come out. To open the door and talk to them. But she didn't want to talk. She just wanted to sit here and…
Another knock came, but this didn't come from the door. This left Raven confused until she realized where it was coming from…her window.
She goes over and opens the curtain slightly to see it was Isamu standing…from the looks of it outside of her window. She opens the curtain and sees Isamu waving at her.
"Hey, mind if I come in? I know you don't like it when people come into your room, but I want to talk to you," said Isamu hoping she'll let him in.
Raven sighed softly and shook her head. "I'm sorry, but no. I don't feel like talking."
She closed the blinds and sighed once again. She didn't like doing that, but she wasn't in the mood to talk. Not until she figures out what she's going to do. She turns around and gives a small yelp when she saw Isamu is in her room.
"Whoops, sorry about that," said Isamu as he rubs the back of his head nervously.
"What are you doing in my room?!" Raven replied angrily now that Isamu is in her room without her permission.
"I teleported in," Isamu replied figuring Raven is upset. "Look, before you kick me out please keep this in mind. I am as stubborn as you."
"I'm not stubborn. I just don't want to talk," Raven lied knowing full-well she is stubborn.
"Even so, I'm not going anywhere since we need to discuss about this," said Isamu knowing they need to talk about this so Raven can talk to her friends. "Your friends are worried about you and they want to help you. Locking yourself in your room is not going to stop them and we both know it. Now, you could kick me out of here, but we both know I'll find a way back in."
Raven knew what Isamu said is true. Sure, she can kick him out or teleport him out of her room. But she knew he is as stubborn as she is. If he wants to help her, he will and there isn't much she can do to stop him.
Raven sighed as she walks over to her bed and sits down. "You have five minutes. I can give you at least that much for saving my friends, but after that I want you out of here so I can be alone. Okay?"
Isamu nods as he stood in front of Raven and sighed before he talks to her. "You're scared. I know you are and it's okay. I know you blame yourself for what happened to your home, your friends, and your mother. But what happened isn't your fault."
Raven was about to speak up, but Isamu moves his hand up and wants to finish what he has to say. Once he does then Raven can respond or kick him out when his five minutes are up.
"You couldn't have known what Trigon would do to Azarath, but we both know he did it to try hurting you. To break you and make you do whatever he wants," said Isamu figuring that's what Trigon is doing. "But you can't let this get to you. You can't give in, especially how I'm sure your mother and your people would want you to fight on. To keep on fighting to protect your home, your friends, and everyone you love."
Raven listened carefully to what Isamu is saying and if they can beat her father. She knows a lot of what he says is true that she shouldn't give in, but its hard to do that against someone who wiped her home and people.
"I know how powerful Trigon is. I'm not a fool, but it doesn't mean I'm going to let him stop me from protecting you and everyone else," Isamu steps towards Raven, kneels in front of her, and took her hand. "You are a lot stronger than you look, Raven. I know you can do this because you won't have to fight him alone. You have your friends, my sister, and me fighting by your side. We will defeat Trigon and we can do it together."
Raven blushed a little when she felt Isamu taking her hand and hears his words of encouragement. He really has a way with words to make her feel better, but she can still feel a little bit of doubt in her mind as she looks away.
"W-what if I'm not strong enough? What if we're not strong enough? What if he's too much for us? I'm afraid if we fight him, we'll lose and I'll lose everyone I…" Raven stops herself from continuing after she flashed to seeing all her friends being destroyed by Trigon.
Isamu moves his hand up to her face and snaps Raven out of it. He smiles at her and shook his head. "I know you can do it. You are a lot stronger than you know. You are the most powerful, beautiful, and bravest woman I have ever met. Believe me, you can do this, and we'll be by your side no matter what."
Raven blushed even more when she felt his warm soft hands on her face. She couldn't help but form a small smile with what he said and can feel his confidence flowing through her.
"A-aren't you scared though? Trigon isn't like the Hollows you have fought before," said Raven who couldn't believe Isamu seems so calmed about this.
Isamu chuckled softly and pulls his hand away. "Oh, I'm a little scared, believe me," said Isamu as he closed his eyes and a small memory from his past came flashing back before he opens his eyes again. "But fighting Trigon isn't what scares me. Its losing those I love and care about to yet another monster."
Raven seems confused by what he meant, when she sensed for a few seconds a small pain within him. Does this have to do with his parents? Is that it? She decided though not to prod his mind and just let it go.
Isamu looks back at Raven and smiles. "But that's why I will give it everything I've got to protect you all and make sure nothing happens. I promise, we will stop Slade, we will stop Trigon, and we will keep your world safe. But you have to promise me you won't give up so easily. That you will fight, you won't give up, and you believe in all of us."
Raven still has her doubts that they can actually stop Trigon. But maybe if they can keep her from becoming the portal and hold out then they can stop him. Yes, that can work. All they have to do is play the waiting game and they will win.
She'll need to do some research first to see when the day Trigon needs to be freed will happen. If she can figure it out and make sure they can hold out, then they can stop her father.
Raven gives a small nod to Isamu and agrees. "I promise and…thank you, Isamu."
Isamu nods as he stood up and moves his hands back. "And if you need anything you can let me know."
Raven nods as she looks over at her clock before chuckling softly. "I do believe your five minutes are up."
Isamu looks over and sees she's right as he chuckled softly. "So, it is. Well, as promised I will leave your room and leave you in peace," as he prepares to go, he stops when he remembers something. "Oh, and maybe you should go out to see the others. They're worried about you and want to spend time with you."
Raven knew he's right. She couldn't stay in here forever and she owes her friends so much. She stood up and puts her book away. She'll have to make it up to her friends for being closed off and she knew how to do it.
She then looks at where her book is placed and realized she has literally read every book in this room that has any information about her father. Nothing though on how to stop him or when the day she is needed will be. It was then she remembered something Isamu and Hikari mentioned before. About the Soul Society and Azarath.
"Isamu," she called out the Soul Reaper who was about to open the door. "Do you um…think the Soul Society might have some information about my father?"
Isamu was a little surprised by the question but shrugs it off and thinks about it. "Hmm…maybe? I mean, they did help lock him away so it might be possible. I would have to ask my master to see if he can look into it," it was then Isamu got an idea. "Or how about I take you there?"
Raven was taken aback by his suggestion and wasn't sure how to feel. Excited? To be able to go to the Soul Society and learn more about this world that Isamu's parents came from? The place where souls go to after death?
That sounds like an amazing trip. But at the same time, it might be bad since they did want to kill her. If she did go, they would likely think she is a spy that might try helping her father. So, maybe going herself would be a bad idea.
"Or um you can just bring the books if you can. I don't think I'm ready to go there just yet," said Raven as she tries to give a small nervous smile.
Isamu was about to reassure her it would be fine, but he then realized why she's nervous. Of course, there are some Soul Reapers who want her dead. If she goes, they will try harming her, which isn't good. So, maybe until this is all over, he will take her.
"Okay then. I'll go find what you need then," Isamu opens the door and finds a disc on the floor with a small paper on it. He picks it up and goes to Raven to hand it over. "Looks like you got mail."
Raven takes the disc and looks at paper seeing it's from her friends. She is then asked to watch the disc and how it is important. Isamu decided to leave Raven alone so she can go over the disc. Luckily, she has her own portable video player so she could watch some horror movies alone to try getting passed the fear of them.
She sat down on her bed and begins playing the video. She watched as the video showed her friends all appearing on the screen. All talking about how much they love her, care about her, and how they made this video for her. With each of them to talk about some of the good times they had with her.
Starting with Starfire and how they bonded together when they switched bodies. How she is glad they got to learn about each other and understand how the other feels. Star even reveals how despite not being related she still cares about Raven like a sister. A sister who won't betray her, who she loves so much, and wants to spend more time with her again like they always do.
Even doing things she knows Raven doesn't like, but still does them because she cares about her friend. Raven couldn't help but chuckle knowing this was true. She hated getting her hair done, trying out makeup, and going to the mall to shop. But she did love spending time with Starfire who she also sees as a sister…an older and amazing sister.
Next is Beast Boy who thanks Raven for putting up with him. He knows he can get on her nerves sometimes, but he's glad she is always there when he needs someone to talk to. Like when Terra betrayed them and getting him through his pain when she turned to stone. Even being there to comfort him when he became the Beast and how she revealed he isn't a monster.
Beast Boy even talks about his time with his former team and how he saw them as a family. When he left them, he never thought he would have another family like that again. But with his friends he feels like he has a new family again and sees Raven as older sister.
One that is there for him and to comfort him whenever he messes up or needs someone to talk to. Raven couldn't help but feel a little emotional when she heard this. Yes, Beast Boy can be a pain, but she did care about him. She loves him like a brother and would do anything to protect her dorky little brother.
Next is Cyborg who appears to have been the one recording everything through his cybernetic eye. He is seen in front of his vehicle thanking Raven for all the talks they have had. He enjoys talking to her, especially how when they first met, they seem to understand one another. Both felt different because of how they look, and both felt insecure around other people.
Yet, they managed to get through it all together and are now accepted by the people. He also brings up the times they even worked on his car together and how she helped him get it back from Gizmo. He appreciated it and was happy that she understood why he cared about his car. He expresses his love for Raven like his sister and thanks her for seeing him not as a machine but a man underneath it all.
Raven recalls the time she met the others and how she wasn't sure she would fit in. Until Cyborg reminds him how she fits right in due to them all being different. But how that's okay and how she helped him realize he isn't a machine. He is still a man and one that has a big heart.
Next one is Hikari who admitted right off the bat she didn't know much what to say. She wanted to apologize to Raven about that first, before she tries her best to cheer her up. Bringing up how she is happy for Raven to have such an amazing group of friends. That are willing to go so far to help her, even fight the devil for her.
Hikari brings up how her and her brother don't have a lot of friends, but she is glad they do now. She thanks Raven for defending them when they revealed the truth to the others and thanks her for accepting them. She's happy that they are here and that will fight for her. Hikari promises they will stand by her side no matter what and they will protect her because they care about her.
All while admitting, she believes her brother loves Raven, which caused the goth girl to blush a little. Hikari hopes to spend more time with Raven and even be close to her. If she wants to of course. Since she wouldn't want to force anything on her.
Raven brushes off the blush as much as she could and smiles happy to know that Hikari wants to spend time with her. In some ways…so does Raven and even wants to learn more about her along with her brother.
The final video shows Robin and how he understands why Raven feels afraid. He understands and he is afraid too. But he still believes they can win because he believes in his friends and he believes in Raven. He knows that as long as they still have hope they can still win and reminds Raven of all the times when things seemed hopeless, yet they still overcame them.
Robin is glad that Raven is here and thanks her for all the time she has helped keep the team together. To be their moral voice and how she helped him even in his darkest hour. Even with everything he went through before meeting the others. Losing his family, fighting alongside Batman, and even trying to overcome his own demons.
He thanks Raven for understanding him, for helping him overcome his problems, and for being there for everyone. Robin knows the others want to help her, but they will respect her privacy when she is ready to come out. If she is ready, then to meet them at the pizza place to eat. Promising her they will spend a whole day with her having fun.
The video soon ends, and Raven turned it off. She wipes away a small tear from her eyes as she feels happiness flowing through her. She is so lucky to have her friends and how they are there for her. Yes, she knows this is still dangerous and they should be far away from her.
But she knew Isamu is also right. They can do this together and she shouldn't give in. She needed to try at least and if they can't win then…then at least she'll spend her time with her friends as much as she can. And have fun with them.
She puts her things away, grabs her cloak, opens the blind to let the sunlight in, and teleports out of the room before she appears outside. She then looks out into the city and smiles as she goes to join her friends to have some fun.
London, England
It is daytime in Europe as the people of London are seen going about their day. All going to work, leaving work, or spending time with their loved ones. It also appears things have been quiet around the city. Not much crime going on, which is what the people of London like.
Unbeknownst to the people, they are being watched by Ronin who is seen inside the Big Ben tower where he is looking down at the people. He watched them going about their day as if nothing is wrong. He hopes to keep it that way as took out a smoke pipe and begins to light it.
He takes a small inhale of it before blowing some smoke out. He sighed softly as he looks out to the people before heaving a voice speaking to him.
"I thought you quit" Ronin looks over to see a dark-skinned woman with long purple hair, golden irises eyes, and wearing a business suit.
"It's for something else," said Ronin as he continued to smoke. "Thank you for coming. I thought Urahara was coming too."
"He needed to finish setting up shop here," said the dark-skinned woman as she sighed softly. "I guess he wants to make sure everything is set up before the day comes. Speaking of which…you heard the news then?"
Ronin sighed as he nods in response. "The Soul Society are having second thoughts about the girl."
The woman sighed softly once more before rubbing her head. "I think you and Hanako made it clear it would all be okay. To not worry about it, but I guess they just aren't listening."
"It's more from Squad 2," said Ronin bringing up the squad that is causing trouble. "Soi Fon believes the threat should be dealt with soon. Maybe you should talk to her."
"Yeah, maybe I should," said the woman knowing she does have a lot of influence over the captain. "Still, maybe if we show them, it will all be okay then they'll back off?"
"Maybe, but right now that's not the problem," said Ronin as he blows some smoke out before he turns to the woman. "Slade most likely has informed his boss what's going on. Meaning it won't be long before he sends some of his followers to deal with the others. That's why I want you to try keeping an eye on things. Make sure things don't get too crazy until we get everything ready."
The woman knew Ronin is right. If Trigon knows the Soul Society is involved, then he'll pull out all the stops to try making sure he returns.
"I suppose I can lend your students a hand. However, I think we should give the Titans a little backup too," she then begins smiling and knows what needs to be done. "How about I bring along the girl? The one you found and left with Hanako to train. I can bring her and put her training to the test. Assuming you both are fine with this?"
Ronin knew exactly who the woman is talking about and smiles a little. "I think that's fine. However, it will be up to her if she wants to return or not. So please, don't push her. If she says yes, then she can go with you."
"I know, I know relax," said the woman as she looks out into the city. "Hopefully you can still convince the Soul Society to put their trust in your students like they did with Ichigo. I just hope this plan of yours will work."
Ronin nods as he finishes smoking his pipe. "If worse comes to worse this will work. I know it," he then turns to the woman. "Please be careful and don't do anything reckless. We still need you for what is to come."
The woman nods as she took out her phone to text Hanako. "You don't need to worry about me. They don't call me Flash Master Yoruichi for nothing."
Ronin couldn't help but laugh a little as he cleans his pipe. "Yoruichi Shihōin, I certainly can't wait to see how Trigon and his allies hold up against you."
That's the end of the chapter and it looks like things are getting a little better for the Titans. At least until all hell breaks loose. Oh, what is Yoruichi up to? Who is this other girl that Hanako has been training?
Will the Titans be ready for whatever they are up to? Will Isamu and Hikari be able to handle it? Will we see some more surprises? Or will we see a lot of chaos?
