Chapter 1509 A Lesson in Botany
I don't own Bleach or any of the powers and gear used in this story.
Draco was with Mila as they were back at the rotten grove, a clien back at Mor Town asked to get a root from a alraune, a special plant women in the forest.
"Why would the man ask for this?" Draco asked her.
"Something he needed." She said. "Also he gave me this gas mask." She takes it out.
"Must because of the polen." Draco guessed.
They went inside and found a bridge that would take a longer route, but Draco looks to the side to see that the other one is broken.
"Well no choice." Draco said.
"Yeah." Mila agreed and they went to the other one.
They walked down the path and they smelled a sweet scent that caused Draco cover his nose.
"That scent, it's so sweet." Mila blushes but she shakes it off. "What am I thinking?!"
She puts the mask on and they went forward down the path, they arrived at the area and saw a green girl inside a flower, she has long pink hair, pointy ears, with plant life on her body to cover herself.
"Well there she is." He said.
She saw them and got scared. "Are you vampires?!"
"What no." Mila said.
"Oh, I am worried since theres been vampires in the grove harvesting the nectar of my friends." She told them.
"Vampires?" Draco got curious.
"Yes, they're at the grove, humans and vampires always come here to harvest from us for our nectar." She said.
"Okay, what's your name?" Draco asked.
"Marina." She said.
"Marina, it's okay we're not going to hurt you." He told her.
"But why are vampires after your kind?" Mila said.
This isn't something they do so it confuses her.
"I don't know, but all my kind vanishing because of them." She said.
"Well let's take care of it. We just wanted a root if you let us." Draco said.
"I have a spare." She said.
"Great." Draco smile and the two went off.
"Are the vampires planning some kind of mind serum?" Mila said.
"Possibly." Draco said.
They went around the grove and they heard voices, they hid behind a few trees and saw two vampire nuns.
"Those are like the ones that Carla had." Mila whispers.
"Must be a few that escaped." He said.
They sensed someone and looked at the trees, but then Draco came out and kicks one away, Mila strikes the other one with surprise attack too.
"Hunters!"
"We'll turn them into one of us." One of the vampires said.
They attacked but the two avoided them and they striked with a powerful overdrive turning them into ash.
"These were just weaker ones." Draco said.
They saw the nectar they got and they went ahead, the two arrived where Marina was and they delivered the nectar.
"Here you go." Mila said.
She stares at it. "This belonged to a friend of mine."
They felt bad since it must have been important to her, a good friend is something many miss.
Marina frowns and she gives them a root. "It is special, from her."
"Thanks." Mila takes it.
"I might be the only one here." Marina thinks about everyone she has met.
They were all gone because of those vampires hunting them down, the humans barely did much but the vampires were dangerous.
"I want to restore the grove." She said.
"Well good for you." Draco said.
"But, i'll need a human woman, to plant my seeds on her. It's how we reproduce." She smiles.
"What?!" They said.
She sent out her spores but Mila used her mask to defend herself and Draco managed to use his coat to cover himself, then they went around as she summons roots to attacks them.
"I will make you one of us Mila." Marina said.
"Why does this happen to me." Mila frowns.
Draco slashes some of the roofts away and he summons Arsene as he slashes the roots.
"Looks like Arsene is still more powerful." He touches the ground and freezes a lot of the roots.
"Ice?!" She got shocked.
Mila takes a chance to throw bombs as she screams getting hit by the explosions.
"She's weak against ice. Her plants can't take the cold." Draco said.
"Yeah." She goes forward.
Marina summons many roots to grab them but Mila dodges as Draco freezes them. His Hamon is useless against the plants since it's life energy, so he's going to use his ice.
Then Mila strikes at Marina's flower making her scream, she attacks many times making the duo dodge as Draco freezes more of the roots.
Mila strikes at her again making Marina's floor spill her nectar.
"No! I can't use my spores anymore!" She cries.
They stopped as she looks down.
"Just go, i'll be alone." She said.
Mila felt bed and goes towards her. "Listen, I understand, but you can't force someone to become one."
Marina looks at her.
"One day you'll find someone that will accept you." Mila said.
"Really?" Marina said.
"Yes." Draco nodded.
She smiles and gives Mila a Alraune Headdress. "It's for my new friends."
They smiled before they left to give they're client the root. Marina stays there as she looks at her floor, but then it fixes it self surprising her.
"Huh?" She said.
"Hello." She looks to see Poison Ivy.
"Who are you?" Marina said.
"I'm Poison ivy." She smiles showing her control over plants.
"You can control plants? Like me." Alraune said.
"Just a little different." Ivy joins her inside of the floor making Marina stunned as she holds the plant girl's face. "A wonderful girl like you does deserve someone. I have a lover and we both have control. So we can help you make more."
"Really?" She said.
Ivy nodded and Marina hugged her making the former villain rub her head.
"We will be together for a long time." Ivy smiles.
She came on Leonidas' request to check for something interesting, and she found it in Marina, a plant woman like her deserves someone and Ivy is the one that wanted her.
"I'll be asking for a few friends to come, as they'll make you safe." Ivy said.
"Thank you Ivy." Marina smiles.
Draco and Mila managed to give the client what he wanted, and the humans still believed the Alraunes are dangerous, but only if they knew since Marina is not some monster but a scared girl.
Note: Draco and Mila helped a plant girl, she tried to turn Mila into one of her kind, but Draco's ice stopped her, Poison ivy came to make Marina happy.
